I’m already irritated by all the unwanted stimulus. I don’t need search engines, websites or whatever that fuck showing me stuff I did not ask for. It’s really distracting and makes it hard to focus on one thing. I’m trying to adjust to a lifestyle like this but it’s bloody difficult in this day and age.

I put my phone on silent to stop it bothering me. Instantly, it starts vibrating instead. So, I go nuclear and turn notifications off outright. Now my app icons have a red exclamation mark notification icon, because this is intolerable. And now you have to opt out of them with every single fucking website you visit, too. It does make me want to run off and join a circus, or ISIS, something.

Digital overload is a very real thing imo.
