My scrolling wheel is powered by that pig in a cage on antibiotics' farts!

 

Welcome to your first therapy session (please turn off your smartphone and watch the following film):

Koyaanisqatsi (1982)

Koyaanisqatsi [ˈkɔɪjɑːnɪsˌkatsi] is an experimental documentary film and the first installment in Godfrey Reggio's Qatsi Trilogy, which explores human intervention in nature and, in general, a critical examination of the human way of life. Reggio was inspired to create the film by the philosophy of Leopold Kohr. The finished film was first screened at the Telluride Film Festival on September 5, 1982, and was released in theaters in 1983. Along with its sequels, Powaqqatsi (1988) and Naqoyqatsi (2002), Koyaanisqatsi forms the Qatsi Trilogy.

What is unusual is the absence of dialogue and characters; the film consists exclusively of montaged, associative slow-motion and time-lapse image sequences of cities and many natural landscapes in the United States and the music composed by Philip Glass and tailored precisely to the images.

 

Brothers, sisters. Folks.

The devil is a liar and a thief, and he lurks in the depths of your computer mouse tempting you with his scrooooollllwheee--aaaahl.

With every full turn of the wheel he gets stronger. And stronger. And STRONGER.

We must cast off the yoke of the mouse and its wheelish temptations.

Reclaim eternal life. Reclaim purpose.

Reject ceaseless distractions.

(Congregation: Reject 'em!)

Smash the devil's devices.

And if Satan has claimed your finger, it too must be smashed before you scroll yourself into eeeeeternal darkness.

(Congregation: Smash 'em!)

Folks, can I get a hallelujah!?

(Congregation: Hallelujah!)

 

thumb yorke reference ?!?!?

 

I scrolled right past your post and then scrolled back for fun!

 

i live in seattle. trust me fentanyl is still the new fentanyl, at least here. doom scrolling may suck, but it doesnt leave you hunched over, rapidly aged and living in a broken down RV last time i checked. fucking fentanyl!

 

Phones are an addiction, but I've always been functional with all my addictions, it's okay.

 

frankly I feel it would be a bit pigheaded to feel any other way, or is that wrong way around again?

 

got a notice, they are pulling the POTS (plain old telephone service) copper lines in 2029. mines' complete shite, telemarketers from india, scammers from Canada, dodgy offers and hangups on the answering machine, sort of a symphony for modern times playing as the soundtrack to my life. Guess its time to put it out of its misery. Think I'll leave it on the wall, and just put a frame around it with a tasteful brass plaque "Here lies Alexander Graham Bell - died April 2029 from the burden of terminal advertisment"

 

I heard they took fluoride out of the public water supply and replaced it with fentantyl, reportedly it stopped the fish from peeing in the water.

 

if Pink Floyd was in charge of NASA, this is what we would have to use to get to the moon...

 

The devil himself is an addict. Addicted to deception.

 

Scrol Ling, famous chinese scribe, known for his vapid, long winded writings which would take boxes of scrolls to discuss simple things like how to properly salt one's food, or perhaps his most famous, "pull my finger, and find out" which took 17 scrolls to get to the actual punchline.

 

Scrol Ling. You have something here. Probably something racist, but I don't care

 

I heartily endorse this post.

 

buy another mouse
or finger

 

I don't think anyone should worry about their addiction. Because there are so many addictive things these days, and if a person takes turns using them every day, their addiction to a particular thing will actually decrease. A little of this, a little of that, and eventually you find your 24 hours divided between different addictive things, with little time allocated to one specific thing.

 

OkeyDokey.
I won't be scrolling past this point.

Dammit

 

Huh... worth a try

 

Someone gave me a "like" for an honest question......without actually answering......strange. Anyway after reading later posts I'm guessing that it is what my family call "flick 'ems" done on a mobile phone. We see kids on street corners or even riding bikes doing it. Very rarely do we see people talking into them. I hope I am correct, If not I'm sure someone will chime in.
