That's where my computer addiction comes from.

I'm addicted to some games - yes I still play Candy Crush! I also play Wordfeud and Wordle. And Candy Crush Soda.

I read the Dope a lot, and here of course. I read a lot of Political threads. I also am on Threads, but I quit Twitter. I watch MeidasTouch on Youtube, and watch a bunch of movie and music reaction videos. I also read a blog called Ask a Manager.

I do watch streaming live TV, and I watch Amazon Prime, Netflix, Hulu, and Samsung TV on my phone as well, live and streaming.

It's pretty much my whole entertainment. At work I use my laptop AND my phone.

So yes, I am addicted. Why do you ask? I don't think it's FOMO though. maybe a bit about Trump trial news. I'm anxious about the election.

You probably shouldn't check this game.

I'm not addicted to my phone but not from lack of trying. I dislike the small screen on my medium-sized Android and I don't want a larger one that I would have a harder time carrying. The negative pleasure I get from trying to read a small screen overwhelms the positive pleasure of jerking around on a phone in the same way that I can't have more than one beer because its bitterness more than makes up for the pleasurability of alcohol.

But I do spend a lot of time on my PC and drink a lot of wine (not always at the same time).

I play words with friends with ONE specific person and that's got to be it for games. well, easy online/phone games I can do whatever. I'll stick fire up Zoo Zycoon 2 every now and then (goes in streaks)

It's horrible when you can't remember the correct spelling. It took me almost an hour to correctly spell "boot-in-ear."
