Honestly, all I need is something to occupy my eyes and fill that reflex that has me tapping an app on the tray of my home screen when I'm stressed or need a distraction.

This place isn't the most efficient (yet) and there are many gaps from what I used to read back in my Reddit days but that place was beginning to be too toxic for me anyway.

The newness of this, and the energy here is much better for my mental health. I can see googling something +Reddit to read an opinion about a TV show or something but if they don't allow unauthenticated browser access to the site, I won't even be doing that anymore. And I'll almost certainly be better off for it.

I might suggest getting ebooks? I have found reading a book to be a lot less stressful a lot of the time, and bonus, you don't need to deal with data after you dl the book to read it.
