bingo. they require attention and effort and you might get something out of them…
social media… is designed to require neither… just like reality tv or candy crush… which are junk.
and same with food. a good meal requires attention and effort to make… cup o noodles requires almost none, but has very little nutritional value beyond hitting your salt and fat receptors.
most proms are held in a the gym with a shitty dj and shitty catered food. but you’re not gonna see that portrayed in media. parents drop them off, there are no limos.
