Happens about 20mins after I wake up.

I did it, but it’s my first time doing it😆
Should I change something? (I think I put a lot of info that may be unnecessary.)

Pro tip - “disabled” isn’t a dirty word, please use it! 👍

That’s the fucking point - there is nothing disrespectful about the word disabled, while there definitely is a lot of disrespect in using bullshit euphemisms like the one you used. The fact that you’re arguing back rather than listen and try to do better proves that you don’t care about respecting disabled people at all, but only about making yourself comfortable.
Feel free to read the links I shared with the person bellow if you actually want to start showing respect to disabled people. Either way, I’m done here.

disabled
👏👏👏
Genuine question, because I don’t have a confidant that I can comfortably ask this to, is that the general opinion of people with disabilities?
I am not a spokesperson for all disabled people, nor are we a monolith, but yes, it is the correct term, and enough disabled people care that there have been several campaigns and there are probably thousands of articles and other pieces of media discussing why it’s important people #SayTheWord. Look that hashtag up to find this content, here are a couple of examples:

Thanks for the links. I will read them. I’ll admit that my first reaction is to assume that speaking directly is rude, but I’m ready to do some unlearning.
You’re welcome.
I think why you think “disabled” is rude is the thing to focus on (and the answer very briefly is because you, we all, were socialised to think that way).
I’ll just drop this link in too, I think intersectionality is vital, and understanding how systems of oppression stand alone and interact with each other is vital to unlearning them, and I think this is a good starting point that goes in to several: https://www.yorku.ca/edu/unleading/systems-of-oppression/
Aw thank you. I that it’s a thing people do here on lemmy so I thought about doing it too.
I do that while listening a CD and then I start work around the home.
I remember in the early to mid 2000s when the internet was new and there seemed to be loads of stuff to do.
Was never bored
it is still the same, but we’re already conditioned to have everything thrown at us on every single internet interaction, making the thought of searching something new seem like stepping out of our comfort zone
with AIs and what not, this feeling will only worsen
Go for a walk, read a book, watch a movie, play a game it will make you feel so much better. Just remember to change activities every few hours. If you’re going to play games for 10h you are probably going to get bored of it way too quickly.
Go for a walk, read a book, watch a movie, play a game
I’d love to, but I’m at work. There’s a bit of a lull between the storms of activity atm, and I would absolutely love to not waste time with just being stuck in the office. But I can’t afford it
I know how you feel man. I used to work in a job like that. Honestly what saved me was reading some comedy manga on mangadex. Since it didn’t require a lot of brainpower and I could just stop reading it whenever I wanted it was perfect for times like this. My head also was in a much better state than after scrolling back then reddit for hours. If you don’t like manga you could just find some easy book.
If you can’t go for a walk during work go before or after work. I try to cycle every day after work and it always makes me feel better.
Thanks for the kind words!
Can’t read a book at the office? Working through a book whenever the queue was empty was one of the few pleasures of working retail/call centre

So are you people in this meme just on your phone all day looking at stupid phone apps? God, what a waste of life.
Smartphones are just boring little tools guys. Don’t make it your life. Be a real nerd, get a PC, and surf the web where there are no limitations set by apps. Play some video games, look at porn sites, do some online shopping or whatever. If you’re done with all that, go outside and ride a bike or something.
My boss doesn’t approve of pron
Normie
LOL right, tell yourself whatever you need to
My turn!
Self-centered with a superiority complex
Lol. Whatever makes you feel better about yourself, and is based on seeing others as inferior
I don’t think we asked about you, did we? Anyway, I hope you find some relief from those problems.
Good one. lol. No u!
For me my phone meme time is
- 5-10 minutes before I get out of bed in the morning
- if I’m bored at work
- Poopin
Good example of why summaries and screenshots are important
Think of the poopers
I started reading books and mags while pooping. I like it. Highly recommended.
Just got to have system to make sure you don’t do anything unhygienic to your reading material. I make sure to set it down before I touch myself. I touch myself.
Are you actually trying to start a phone vs pc debate? That’s funny as hell.
Back in my day it was a desktop vs coffee table laptop debate.

It’s disgusting how many times I’ll catch myself opening an app I closed less than 2 minutes ago because I was bored.
It’s a loop
I’ve closed Lemmy and not ten seconds later open it up again.
Boredom breeds innovation. It’s okay to be bored. In fact, I really wish our society would get “legitimately” bored more often.
