For example, I don’t use TikTok. I never have, and I never will, and I’d advise everyone else to get off the platform too. I genuinely believe it’s objectively harmful to people’s mental health and possibly even a threat to democracy. That said, I also believe people should be free to decide for themselves whether they want to use it or not, which is why I’m against the U.S. government banning it.

    “If you have to ask if you’re the asshole, imagine what the world would like be if everyone did it.”

    I firmly believe this in my core, and it applies to almost anything: standing in doorways, camping in a corner in online shooters, veering between lanes without signaling while driving, stealing, throwing trash on the ground, etc.

    BUT I am far from perfect. I eat meat despite being an animal lover, I am somewhat wasteful, I can be quick to anger, I support unethical companies that I hate, and I don’t keep in touch with old friends and family. Stuff like that…
