Not sure what your definition of people is, but Mexicans, Ugandan, and Koreans all eat grasshoppers (and probably others). I know crickets are eaten in Southeast Asia.
Ants seem too tiny to try to eat, but a Google search reveals they are eaten in South America and Southeast Asia.
Shrimp, lobsters, and crabs are kinds of bugs.
I can't really tell what your argument is here. Are you arguing that people substitute social media interactions for real life connection? And that they get enough from social media to not think vulnerability is worth it?
I guess I can agree to that in some general way for novices to social media (people like me in 2007 or young kids now), but in my generation I've observed people valuing it less as we age. Once you mature, if you mature, you can judge your own lack of fulfillment from hours spent on social media.
To quote (emphasis mine):
"I discovered that no one is looking for a meaningful connection or a serious conversation. Everyone wants to catered and be heard, no one wants to listen for just a second."

I'm happily married, and I know people I would enjoy spending time with if I wasn't. The world doesn't seem bereft of thoughtful, intelligent, generous people to me. To me, it sounds like it's a problem with the commenter.
I'm expecting downvotes for this.
While I agree with you that social media is very harmful to everyone but especially young people, I think we've also socialized an entire generation to pathologize mental distress instead of teaching them resiliency.
I don't think they need to be shown any particular courtesy since they closed by bashing 'many many many girls' as superficial.
Yea, honestly, as a feminist, I think this is reasonable and healthy. How many long term relationships really result from drunken hookups? It's just an exercise in risky behavior with a complete stranger when your judgement is impaired.
Exactly. Hence the name distinguishing it as the "American" one.... People (Americans?) are so dumb.
I think he had to enter into agreements about content in order to get financing from the Saudis and Russians.
Does "bugs" have a scientific meaning? I was assuming it was a layman's term that I could abuse.
