    Yep.

    I wonder if this will result in countries like North Korea having a competitive workforce because they’re at least able to focus on what they’re doing.

      Which is why I have never and will never download the app, go to the website, or otherwise watch any TikTok content.

      I still have enough of an attention span to read actual books and watch full-length movies, and I want to keep it that way.

    Fuck my ass opens Voyager sometimes when I don’t wanna work and I’ll literally say to myself “lock in” or “I’m so not focused.” I’m still a million years better than my Tiktok addicted cousins at least…

    So yeah not surprised but I hate that I see myself in this.
