I had problems with my Pixel 5 crashing all the damn time but haven't had any issues with the 6 (or when I had the 4).

This is a drug, which OP said they're avoiding. It's also potentially dangerous.

I've heard of the "runners' high", but even as someone who used to be very athletic, all I ever got was the "runners' 'please fucking kill me right now so I never have to do that again'".

Those are the same people who told my generation that we would all be failures if we didn't pay tens to hundreds of thousands of dollars to get a college degree, so my sympathies are limited.

None of my millennial friends use TikTok to begin with. Seems more Gen Z.

Things are more complicated than one issue being the be-all and end-all. But some are more significant than others.

Good. Now if only we could get the wealthy and powerful to switch to a form of economy which prioritizes stability over infinite growth.

It's not Democrats doing this. It's first past the post.

Answering the phone. Listening to voicemails.

There's no reason I should fear these now, but I was hit by a car back when I was in college (nearly 20 years ago now), and I had no health insurance and couldn't pay any bills. I was already barely affording to eat.

So, almost every single call I got was related to a bill that I knew I couldn't pay. The trauma of that has stayed with me to this day and I will often leave voicemails which are perfectly innocuous unlistened to for days, weeks, eternity....

That kind of stress just stays with you.

This also extends to opening the mail.
