Any public place frankly, I get a 30 minute lunch and 7-8 people blasting Tick Tocks in a small area...

Just like drug addicts, these people are addicted to dopamine and they will do anything to get it even if it makes everyone else uncomfortable
I think TikTok format video players are straight up drugs. It's a real physical addiction which even has withdrawal symptoms
They are so appealing, I do avoid them but it's just sad to watch everyone else become a victim of those
- Physical addiction is a stretch
  
  It doesn't actually matter. A addiction will ruin lives if unchecked. No matter if physical or psychological. It's all about definitions at that point too.
  Where does physical end and where does psychological start.
  It's not a matter of one is worse than the other.
  
  Why?
  
  I think they call that chemical addiction or physical dependence?
  
  Are you like trying to be condescending lmfao
  The terms “addiction” and “dependence” can seem similar, but they are different. Dependence occurs when the body physically relies on a drug. Addiction involves changes in behavior. A person with an addiction has difficulty not using substances or doing rewarding activities, even if it is harming them.

  The difference between addiction and dependence can be difficult to understand. Some organizations have different definitions, use the words interchangeably or even abandon both terms altogether. (Substance use disorder, or SUD, is a preferred term in the scientific community.) Because of this lack of consistency, some ground rules can help differentiate between the two terms.
  When people use the term “dependence,” they are usually referring to a physical dependence on a substance. Dependence is characterized by the symptoms of tolerance and withdrawal. While it is possible to have a physical dependence without being addicted, addiction is usually right around the corner.

  Nah not reading your wall of text.
  Nothing I said was wrong, terms aren't even professionally defined
  You have a condescending shitty attitude grow up
