We kinda live in a society

The dopamine rush you experience from getting likes is a real thing and it's potent. People are absolutely controlled by the addictive nature of social media and it impacts their decision making. It also works in reverse to promote depression. He's onto something with that.

Liked

Yeah, that's the good stuff

We live in a vibeity

Listening to Blonde at 3 AM rn having deep thoughts

Are people still not hip to this?? It's been confirmed for years now

He says this yet he lives in a society how curious

And it's the worst on instagram because it's literally tied to your appearance, s*** will make you sick for real. It's like a breeding ground for eating disorders.

One might say it's worse on Twitter because you can anonymize yourself in your avy and bio, but the desire to be popular/liked/accepted by other strangers on the app (anonymous or otherwise) doesn't decrease at all.

So detaching yourself through anonymity is pointless since the narcissistic gymnastics to get attention through 🔁 and ❤️ buttons is baked into your personality by the platform's design

take a huge rip from juul

Ktt2 got that like system real quick. Mods don't send shooters at my head

We pinpoint people, we attack each other. We are all equal in God’s eyes. Sometimes, people are controlled by demons. Sometimes, people are controlled by the environment that we are in, but we are all God’s people. There’s no bad people. There are lost people, but we are all God’s people.

3rd listen in a row. Raw thoughts

Nah he gotta get outta here with that s***

Some people are def scum

I've always felt like the immediate switch from people mass quoting a post to just mass liking posts on her was weirdly quick. I still like to quote someone instead of just liking their reply. Just like on Twitter, ending an interaction with "user liked your post" seems vaguely rude to me for some reason

The only thing that can free us is by obeying the rules that were given to us for a promised land.

I was just about to do exactly that

Yeah this kind of thing stifles discussion

I do it all the time tbh

People always say, God made a way. I had this child and it was the best thing. Society has set it up in a way where we feel that God won’t make a way. When I was 53 million dollars in debt, I was in the crazy home and as soon as I say Jesus name out loud, he gave me increase. He gave me a platform, he gave me sanity, he gave me clarity to be able to speak not on the word of Yeezus like in a rap, but on the word of Jesus and community and family. So what I’m saying is, we understand.

And once it happens enough it starts to seem like people "like" a post to signal that they're done with the convo — which used to be done by quoting them with a smiley or something. But the "like" seems so impersonal, like the social media equivalent of "K."

Ive noticed it after i finally got a Twitter account last year and started having little chats with the several people im closest to on there. Especially whenever you start a conversation where both of you are replying a lot...it's like "etiquette" for each person to like every single reply from whoever you talk to

Even if they keep responding. Why?? Lmao. I can reply to someone with a straightforward question and no jokes, and they like it every time before responding lol. I dont understand

Everybody’s family…we all are imperfect human beings. Jesus loves everyone. He does not discriminate against anyone.
