Or not look at the sky, instead make sure to ask for your rights so that looking at the sky is something that just happens. No need to blame and shame people.

I really can't tell if your comment is some an anti-lockdown statement, or I'm completely missing what you are trying to get at.

Not related at all. I was referring to how people would cram in a town that provides nothing except a job. No parks, no common spaces, no joy.

Why? What is it with pushing religious stuff into peoples faces? I believe it is offensive to people who either have a different religion or none at all. One could just say: "You should do a day of digital detox every week. Like for example people do on Shabbat. Or in other ways."

Exactly, that's what I wanted to say. But we are on internet so I use a meme with ironic tone, I was not preaching.

All fine. I had so much religious stuff shoved in my direction lately because of COVID - my tolerance massively decreased because of that in the last weeks.

One could just say Or you could just give people the benefit of the doubt, read it that way to begin with, and save us all a lot of grief. Regardless... I believe it is offensive to people... If you have a personal beef, say it clearly. The rest of us don't need you to run interference for us. I'm of a "different religion" and I think it is an outstanding idea.

> If you have a personal beef, say it clearly

I have no beef. I just stated my personal opinion. And I even stated a way how it could be framed with religious content in the text.

I still feel I did a reasonable critique with an idea of how to communicate in a less offensive way towards others.

I like the idea in theory but I always use my phone to actually fall asleep by listening to some monotonous audio. Before doing this I had extremely hard time falling asleep.

One option if you really want to sleep in a separate room from your phone is to get a dedicated audio player for your bedroom. Depending on the features you need (Bluetooth, streaming support from Spotify, etc.) you can get one for around $70 to $300. You could also get a Raspberry Pi and automate playing your monotonous audio at your bedtime each night. That would be cheap and a neat quarantine project.

This can help. I use my old phone that I otherwise use for dev. It does not have games and social networks on it so it's harder to just spend time on something.
