Rant.

I'm becoming increasingly annoyed with advertising and also Facebook... yes, they're linked. It's primarily Facebook advertising that is really getting to me, but also how intrusive the website feels. I like it because I feel like I can write things and be "heard" or rather I guess "seen" by other people, but it becomes mindless click-bait... and you can barely scroll down the main page before you're bombarded with "buy this" or "buy that" or even "look at all these great things going on in your friends lives!" (while mine is lacking in that way so it must suck -- coveting my neighbor's good fortune perhaps?) or "look at how sucky this other friend's life is!" and meanwhile, I'm sitting at a screen wasting my life living and dying vicariously through other people. I'm also increasingly annoyed with the concept of consumerism, with stuff being made for us to just "consume" like a greedy and gluttonous person who is never satisfied. Food has chemicals added so that companies can make more money with longer shelf lives... and ooh! great side effect for their wallets, the addictions to these chemicals that ensue! And in the meantime a public who is complacent and completely unaware of how these are affecting them are walking around like zombies on technology eating poison and slowly (sometimes quickly!) dying without knowing what it was like to truly live. I'm fed up with society the way it is... from advertising to chemicals in everything to the upside-down way that society teaches us to do relationships... and probably some other things.

I know that skipped around quite a bit, but my mind is a bit of a jumble. I'm frustrated with several things at the same time... and in my mind they are all sort of connected.
