Next you'll tell me that people with AIDS who stop talking ART suddenly get the symptoms and effects of AIDS again.

Or that people suffering from schizophrenia who stop taking their anti-schizophrenia medicine suffer the effects of schizophrenia again.

Or that people taking anti-hypertensives get hypertensive 'all over again.'

They're saying 'the issue isn't social media in and of itself; it's what's *on* the social media, what's being done *through* social media that's the problem.'

If everybody's feeds were nothing but affirmations, positive stories, and CBT tips and tricks, social media use would probably have much better mental health outcomes.

Unfortunately, it's full of hate, impossible physical standards being sold as 'I drink a thimble of lemon water after every meal' and negative content specifically designed to drive engagement.

"Study finds weak evidence linking being shot in the heart multiple times to fatal outcomes."

Yeah, being shot in the heart *once* does it for you.

Once you hit a certain social media threshold, it doesn't matter if you're over that threshold by five minutes a day or five hours a day.

Taking Ivermectin for parasites is an excellent treatment.

Taking it for cancer is, in fact, crankpot.

You can't even say 'well, it's safer than Tylenol, so it doesn't hurt you.' In this case, it *does* hurt you, because the longer cancer goes untreated, the more likely it is to kill you.

When there's proven treatments, and you decide to try de-worming treatment with zero medical basis, you are, in fact, doing harm.

It's always fun when well-known actors are willing to make fun of themselves. (also in this camp - Jon Voight's and Raquel Welsh's appearances on Seinfeld).

On the other hand, it's sad when a perfectly 'fine' actor gets so badly typecast that all they can do for the rest of their career is make fun of themselves.

The Batman: The Animated Series episode 'Grey Ghost' was the only one that actually treated West and his Batman history with respect and dignity.

It absolutely is.

PlayStation->PlayStation 2-> PlayStation 3-> PlayStation 4->PlayStation 4 Pro -> PlayStation 5-> PlayStation 5 Pro makes sense.

Xbox->Xbox 360->Xbox One S OR Xbox One X->Xbox Series S OR Xbox Series X on the other hand, makes no sense and isn't intuitive to figure out which one you want.
