Screen Time

How do you manage screen time for yourself?

Daily writing prompt

Yup. Already done this one. Literally this time. I’m not saying this one is remarkably similar to a previous question. This one is literally a previous question. I got this three days ago when whatever bug in the system that is making this whole daily prompt thing not fun anymore first reared it’s buggy head.

I will answer again because I am a glutton for punishment.

I am 52 years old. I am not a child. I don’t need to manage screen time. If I want to do something on a screen I do it. I am a grown up. I work on a computer eight hours a day. If I want to go a-web-surfing after work or on the weekends then I do. Sorry, but again: Grown up.

If you need to do something to manage your screen time then go for it. Whatever gets you through your day. I will tip my hat to you and wish you well. I don’t do anything about screen time because I am fine living on the screen.

There. One question answered twice. Ugh.

Is This a Bug Or Are There Really Two Prompts Today?

When I bring up the Jetpack/Wordpress app on my iPhone the daily writing prompt looks like this:

When I bring up wordpress.com in a browser on my laptop the daily writing prompt looks like this:

Really guys? You let two different prompts out on the same day? Is this a bug or just really shitty implementation? Add this to the prompt not pulling into the posts on their own anymore, and you have me really not wanting to play this stupid fucking game anymore.

So which question do I answer? Who cares, right? Why even bother?

Aw, hell. Right then. How do I manage screen time for myself. I don’t. I work at a computer for 8+ hours a day and I am an adult. I don’t need to manage my screen time. I am not a child. I can do what I want.

Invent a holiday. I’ll give you one. It just happens to coincide with my birthday, but it’s not related to my birthday. May 8th. That’s the date that Germany surrendered to end the European portion of World War II. We can create a holiday out of that and call it Fascism is Evil Day or something like that. How about Death to Fascism as a Political Ideology Day. We can all celebrate by not being fascists. We can all celebrate by reading of the evils and horrors caused by fascism. We can all celebrate by throwing rocks at fascists, fascist collaborators, and fascist sympathizers. It would absolutely be my favorite holiday of the year.

There. I answered both daily writing prompts because Jetpack or WordPress.com or whoever is responsible for it fucked it all up and put out two prompts.

Fix the fucking bugs, please. Pretty please.
