WARNING: My opinions are strong

WARNING: I believe in you

"I hate that I am a product, but I like using technology, so I will pretend the problem doesn't exist and be happy."

As the internet and AI have become more commercialized and ubiquitous, so has the ABUSE of these technologies to spy on their users. And oh no, now I'm addicted and blah blah blah. And Tech is evil and yadda. We all have heard this story. And because this story has been repeated so much, now we are desensitized to it, And That Sucks.

WELL GUESS WHAT! I'M NOT TAKING THIS SHIT ANYMORE!

That's right, I want BOTH be happy AND Not Be A Product. So now instead of making excuses I'm gonna fix my attitude.

Here is how to have a Lame attitude that I Don't Think Is Cool Of You:

• "I am addicted to TikTok or whatever so I don't want to quit it. I'm not addicted though. And even if I was addicted then it wouldn't matter cause it's what everyone else is doing."
• "I am just gonna go back to my old habits after like 4 days so there's no point in trying."
• "Just one person isn't gonna change anything, and I'm Ignoring The Fact that when everyone says that then we are collectively shooting ourselves in the FOOT!!!"
• "I don't really mind getting fucked over and teaching everyone else to not care about getting fucked over."
• "I don't want to feel inferior or guilty so I'm should just give up and feel numbly guilty instead"
• "I'm going to miss out on the party everyone else is having in digiland!"

People Who Are Cool say this:

• "Well... eating mental Red40'd gruel all the time actually sucks and if I quit I wouldn't miss it"
• "I am going to pick a goal that I can stand maintaining. I don't want to be like those youtubers who go back to the actual stone ages for a week-long "cleansing challenge" and then get exhausted and return to their dopamine bombs with renewed desperation, thus only making things worse by telling the world that resistance is too hard. Those guys are not cool."
• "I'm gonna be the Brave One Person who goes on the dance floor first so that everyone else can join and have a Very Groovy Time"
• "Letting people exploit me FUCKING SUCKS and I am going to Try to do something about it, even if I fail a couple times, cause it's about the principle and resisting Evil is awesome"
• "I am going to address the problem cause otherwise it will get worse to an absurd degree, and then I really can't do anything cause at that point it will destroy me"
• "I don't have to miss the party, I can just learn to stop having FOMO about the lame parts and be there for the things that are actually cool"

Which attitude do you want to have? Do you want to keep getting Fucked Over? Well I'm sorry if you do,

because now you are Making Lame Choices and I have respectfully put you on my "This person should grow" list.

I'm not gonna judge you if you do not choose this Alternate path, cause THE PROBLEM IS THE PERPETRATOR OF EVIL AKA BIG CORPORATIONS, NOT THE VICTIMS. at the Same Time Though, I am going to be disappointed if you choose to take the status quo route instead of sticking up for the rest of us. cause Without You, now we have one less person in our club. Now We Miss You.

"This is gonna be Really Hard"

WELL WAIT TIL YOU HEAR THIS!

First of all, I have turned my rules into a game that I have a lot of fun playing, even by myself. So to me it doesn't feel like work at this point and that is pretty cool.

Second, if you want to change your habits, yes you are gonna need a good attitude and it is yes Gonna be different than what you used to do. But, you DON'T have to max out, you can just do as much as you want. so it Doesn't Even Have To be hard actually. You can literally just pick one speck of lint out of your belly button every day and that is probably better than never showering at all. as long as you are Up Off Your Ass (Whatever that means to you). But FOR NOTHING AND NO ONE, NEVER quit picking that belly button lint girl cuz I know one day ur gonna make it to that shower <3
