i hate when i search for a replacement for social media and it says "read a book, meditate, meal prep, learn a new language"
like, yo dumbfuck, I'm looking for some bullshit to do on my phone for three minutes while i wait to pick up food, or sit in traffic or something. I need a time filler for brief moments of boredom where nothing is lost if it is interrupted. I spend most of the day being productive -- im trying to turn my brain off for a few minutes and just consume some quick content without giving big tech companies my data and getting advertisements in return. a lot of my social media outlets are kinda devolved into repetitive memes and ads and clickbait videos/articles that arent what they say they are.
i guess it doesnt help that i dont know exactly what i want. The endless scrolling social media machine got it right in some ways except that it does what investors want and shortchanges the users. Id like to be introduced to new music and video games and other stuff relevant to my interests without much time investment so when i get to my PC i know what i want to do with my limited time. Getting kinda frustrated that my usual sites aren't good at this anymore.

A game of bullet (1 minute) or blitz (3) chess on chess.com is my go to. By the way @saltator I played someone with your username the other day. Are you Argentinian?

I was going to suggest chess.com too lol. I always play as black and only against the bots. I'm still a noob but it's really fun.

TimeOfDeath you're missing out. Playing against humans is fun. I also play with my younger brother really often. Since I live 1000 km away from home it's kind of our rare opportunity to "bond" a little and stuff. However swear words and racial slurs are prohibited on chess.com, which takes some of the fun away, but oh well. Literal 1984 society where I can't call the Indian guy handing my ass to me the N word. It's a violation of my 1st amendment rights. Which I thankfully don't have since I'm not an American citizen. Indians can be annoying as fuck though. You make a mistake and they send you laughing emojis in the chat for like two minutes before they make a move exploiting your mistake. I've had this happen more than once, exclusively with Indians. Idk what's up with them.
