If you carefully cultivate your subscriptions and watching habits it’s not bad. I get mostly stuff I’m subscribed to, a movie cut into thirty second chunks (right now it’s Braveheart), tv clips with one of three pieces of music overlaid, a mix of benign recommendations that are mostly meh but sometimes funny, and thirst traps. So… it’s not good but I do sometimea see something worth following.

It used to be worse, I think abandoning guntubers was the right call. I used to have Andrew Tate and Jordan Peterson pushed at me.

No mental gymnastics because I don’t have orthorexia nervosa. There’s no guilt or shame. (None that aren’t universal to all consumption under capitalism, anyway)

I also eat cake, red meat, smoked meat, vegetables high in oxalates, various fried foods, and occasionally drink alcohol. Life should not be about eliminating every risky behavior, it should be about fulfillment and weighing risk against probability and payoff. We all die eventually and I want to eat tasty food before I get there.

It’s truly the most reddit of instances. And yet, here I am.

I mean, yeah. But there’s so many clones and time travelers and Multiple Man copies running around already that I don’t think TOAA or whoever is keeping track.
