delete your facebook app.

The drawback is you have facebook withdrawal and have a lower sense of being.

I never started FB, happily.

That's... odd, given they already have these anyway :

 

I have deleted my twitter account that I once had - forgotten for too long, not really useful (just use them logged out if all you want is reading public things).

[tater]

Twitter is reasonable for lurking assuming you follow the right outlets. For spaceflight, there are great sources out there, and you pop on, scan the latest, and pop off. I only use a browser for this, though, I figured the app might be more malicious in terms of what data it decides it can have.

[YNM]

I just have a list (history/frequent visit) of people's twitter I want to occasionally look at their tweets.

No need for the account.

He's too busy on facebook.

Forget dogs - what you need is a spherical owl.

 

[Scotius]

Or one that's partially melted...

Really though... get a dog. Preferably small, fluffy and energetic. Then take him for a long stroll through a forest. It's spring - best time to experience Nature

cats are better. they routinely sit on your keyboard and prevent you from using your computer. blocking your ability get sucked into social media.

i for one never found much use for social media.

Go for the dog. They're chick magnets.

Waking up at 3 am and having that mug staring in your face definitely would not cause alot of stress?

I just wait for Tater to find interesting Space stuff and post it here.

Its a dirty job but someone has to, but hey i read through the reddit science stuff, most of which is politically biased science. 

[PB666]

This I just picked up off reddit science

Apparently 2% of people for some odd reason don't trust Tesla, "Elon is going to have eyes in the sky's?"

I don't see how someone can be so attached to Facebook it affects their stress levels.
