Comment on ‘Close to zero impact’: US study casts doubt on effect of phone ban in schools

Standing right there. And somehow kind of invisible to many. Formerly to oneself.
It’s difficult, and I mean, big surprise lol, they’re basically engineered to be that way, it’s all so tiring like ya said.
No hate to elephants, elephants are fucking great

That’s such a great description, you somehow start being able to see through the mist if you pay attention to a topic for long enough and the details coalesce into a clear picture of the situation.
I’m sure the wool is still over my eyes on some important things but my bullshit detector is constantly improving.
