The above statements weren't conditioned on "scrolling".

… even then, I struggle to see what's so wrong with someone just trying to distract themselves from the hell that is flying.

Maybe you don't know this, but there is much more on the internet then social media ...

I suppose you'd approve if I read book on the internet? What if I'd be working?

You don't need my approval. Someone was asking how I view these things, and I was explaining: reading a book is effort, scrolling facebook is effortless.

Now, keeping in mind that you don't need my approval: do you have any questions?

Are you on the spectrum by any chance?

No, but I understand why you ask. I just refuse to engage with certain figures of speech because I don't want to contribute to normalizing them. Don't say "would you approve if" if that's not what you mean. Say "what is your opinion on" or "what's your view on" or "how do you think about" or "how does that compare to" because that's what you actually mean. I'm not on the spectrum, but I think that when it comes to many things, language included, simpler is better. As simple as possible, but not simpler.

When am I allowed to relax boss?
