reddit is shit and makes me annoyed, twitter is shit and makes me annoyed, tiktok is shit and makes me annoyed, pure news sites are boring, cracked is dead, google doesn't work anymore, lemmy is only memes and news and fairly slow

i feel like i used to be able to sink into an activity on this machine, but now i just spend 5 minutes somewhere, the algorithm runs out of content, i get annoyed and go somewhere else, same process happens. i feel like i have amnesia, i used to enjoy this but i have no idea how.

I'm reading more and watching movies way more. I LOVE movies. Sometimes in the 2010s I completely lost the ability to watch movie without being on my phone. My goal is to change that

I distinctly remember a brain glitch developing in my head circa 1992 when I no longer had the attention span for movies.

Heavy Metals’ Effect on Susceptibility to Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder: Implication of Lead, Cadmium, and Antimony

That's interesting. Is there anything we can do against it?

My answer to "What's the best way to detox from heavy metals?" on Quora

Cleaning it out won't repair any permanent damage. Still, fairly safe, easy, and cheap, so I tried. My gut inflammation has healed, but I did many other changes in the same time.
