yeah, i think ideally you only use the internet for work, communication and buying stuff, with a careful selection of news that is useful to you specifically. most mainstream news is fake and/or completely inactionable. the biggest difficulty is that everyone is emerged in this bullshit, so it's hard to build a social life in the real world. it doesn't help that everything has become expensive as fuck. but yeah, playing poker or sports with some buddies won't break the bank and will do more for your wellbeing than anything else. the better your wellbeing the greater your professional prospects the better your success in relationships.
