TULSA, OK—Saying it felt good to just kick back and decompress after a long day, local woman Kelly Alderman reportedly referred to the four hours she spent scrolling through Facebook before she went to sleep Wednesday as “winding down,” sources confirmed. “As soon as I get home from work, all I want to do is take a load off and relax for a little while,” said Alderman, speaking of the period between 7 and 11 p.m. during which she routinely sits on her couch, makes brief comments on her friends’ status updates, clicks “like” on several dozen posts, and responds almost instantaneously to any and all notifications she receives before eventually closing her laptop and brushing her teeth. “I think it’s important to spend some time every evening [repeatedly clicking through every one of my acquaintances’ most recently uploaded photos of the bars they’re visiting or the weddings they recently attended and then just sit there continuously refreshing my news feed] before I turn in for the night.” Sources added that Alderman refers to the 25 separate times she scans the social media site on her iPhone throughout the workday as “taking a little break.”

Shut up.

I’m a nobody in real life and I’m a nobody on Facebook and Twitter... After winding down on a social network, I always end up taking a couple of sleeping pills...

Glad I’m not on social media.

terrible. our society has truly gone down the shitter, in my day, 15 minutes with a good book would be winding down, but now that our children are so utterly glued to their phone screens, i fear for the future

i don’t get it.

I wonder how many people 'liking' this tweet liked it during that very 'winding-down' period of their day... (I know I did)

or winding up down. Its all about relative perspective and outlook.

This article is inaccurate. Only old people use Facebook, and they go to bed by 6:30pm.

This but Twitter

ZephyDd

I do this too but for twitter and I refer to it as crippling loneliness

hits too close to home

French man taken off life support, put back on after eleventh-hour court rulingHours after they began the process of allowing him to die, French doctors were ordered to restore the life support of a man in a vegetative state whose controversial case has divided his family and the public: Was anyone thinking of what they were subjecting him to when they had him on the brink of death just to suddenly reverse it? I find that to be a selfish move. No one alive would prefer to remain in a vegetative state for the rest of their days so someone else can feel content. If Donald Trumpe was on that Life support machine i would just unplug it and charge my phone. Not that i hate him, i just dont like low battery 🔋 😂😂

Baby dies after being left in van for 5 hours at Florida day care, police sayThe girl was discovered inside a van at Ewing's Love & Hope Preschool and Academy in Jacksonville. And it would take less time for an abortion to kill an unborn USA citizen. YET who is speaking for these unborn USA Citizens that are being MURDERED at the rate of 1.25 MILLION A YEAR in the USA That’s murder. However, since the baby was born and alive no one at the day care will actually be charged with murder. No one, besides this precious baby’s parents and family will actually care that she died. But abortion is murder, right? Where’s the outrage
