TCRT 7: Episode 2 - Attack of The Chat

Curls wrote:Has anyone read one of these books, like 'how to break up with your phone ' and things like that?

I'm sat in a coffee shop trying to do my work and find myself browsing here, texting people and losing attention fast. I do wonder if it's time I started trying to focus more on what's around me, rather than what's in my phone?

Maybe i should give one a read.

Cool! You should post a picture of your shiney new card. You go getter you.

Make sure to post both sides so we can really appreciate how happy it's making you

Seriously though. He doesn't. Not that I had an image in mind me, but still.

Is it the facial hair? Because that completely threw me at first. I imagined (his face! Perverts) pale and smooth.

After hours of videos I've adjusted now.

Genuine Question : This is a modded SC1 right? It's so crisp, yet detailed...and so functional.

One of the shittest days in years today. Until last night I was expecting a nice weekend to ourselves after a not-particularly great week, mental health wise. Haven't been feeling too hot so just wanted a nice few days. Then, at 10.30pm, she tells me "Oh, we're helping my friend move in tomorrow. We need to be at hers at 9am I'm going to bed night.

Fine. We go, we help, it's tiring (pulling a three seat couch , fridge-freezer and oven up 5 floors of spiral staircase tiring) but we finish at around 4pm. We get home, I flop onto the bed. "Oh we need to return the composter I bought it's a 40 minutes tram ride and a walk ok let's go." I ask if we positively HAVE to go tonight but of course we do.

So we go. So we walk from the tram to the commercial park to the other side of the commerce park then along the highway then we dodge traffic to get to the other side then we can't get to the store as it's across another motorway so we walk to a bus stop no not that bus stop the one that's a 20 minutes walk away and oh no the bus is super late but we get it and then oh no she's doing the navigation but we miss the stop and the next one is 10 minutes down a highway so we get out and the next bus the other way is 20 minutes wait but we get to the shop and oh no there's the guy we need having a leisurely chat with some people and not helping us then he helps us the but disappears for 20 minutes and he's back and strawberry floating around so we miss the return bus and have to wait half an hour for the next one which is another 20 minutes late.

It took us 4 strawberry floating hours to return a compost bin. My back is in agony, my head hurts, my feet are bloody and I'm so strawberry floating tired.

I'm strawberry floating done with today.

I think this regularly, I'm often guilty of being a slave to my phone more than it is being a tool that enables me to do more. I've started using an app that lets me set up schedules for restricting the use of certain apps etc.

I'm hoping it will allow me to spend more time doing something other than staring at a pointless tool in my hand for hours of the day.

Yup, it's really dumb. To get a custom URL you need to hit 100 Subs. If you change your google account name it doesn't change your current Username on youtube. it's silly.

It's not modded, it's the remaster they released end of last year. Also I had no idea anyone would actually watch any of the videos, so thanks I guess.

It's either that or read about the insurance Distribution Directive.
I imagine I would understand more if I had sound.

No one watches my videos

Tbf, I've watch SD live a few times, he seems very good at doing the.commentary for StarCraft. Knows his gooseberry fool.

I've followed one particular channel for a couple of years that hasn't seen an increase in viewers at all (never more than 500 per video) and I sometimes wonder if the person making them is constantly hoping that the next video will be the one to go viral, or if they'll one day just go "strawberry float it, I'm wasting my time here".

I guess it depends on what you're hoping to achieve when you set out posting videos. If it's for the love of the subject then it's probably much easier to carry on, but if you're only trying to make it big and become a professional youtuber (shudder) then it's probably quite a depressing enterprise.

I don't think you need to read a book to tell you to mute your phone occasionally and not look at it
