We are discussing local news in a small town in Japan, thousands of miles away for most of us; and how social media is an attention-wasting time-sink for other people. We need to help those other people.

If I discuss the stars and planets online am I even wasting more time? It's distance the factor that makes it a waste?
As I read "Comet crossed jupiter's rings at blazing speed!" some guy looks at me at tells me to live in the moment. Thanks.
My only position is we should not be quick to judge (or "help"), particularly if we're doing similar things to what we're help-judging others for doing.
I don't know about stars, but I can tell Hacker News is complete waste of time (:
