    Great list of websites to never visit 👍

    I get enough hate-speech during on-line video games. By not using any of those apps, I successfully save myself from multitudes more, while also foregoing any potentially addictive status-seeking site-based-compulsions. I used to play Clash of Clans on my phone because it was a good way to waste a couple minutes while taking a shit. I quit when I began to play too much. I feel like Facebook, twitter, instagram, they’re all just sites to waste time on. Which begs the question, why waste time on them at all? Why waste time?

    I know not every moment can be spent fruitfully, but when something you do to waste a bit of time in between/during mundane tasks becomes something that now demands attention outside of that, then it’s time to stop wasting time on it.

      Huh, I use zero of those websites, and haven’t for something like 15 years. And as it turns out, I see very little hate speech. I wonder if those two things are related…

        Ounce of prevention worth a pound of not being subjected to an endless stream of racist hate-filled trolls!

          Yup. And it turns out, I still have contact w/ my friends and family that I actually care about, w/o the mental burden of a constant stream of nonsense from distant acquaintances.
