Leave me out of this

Addiction is always an escape from something. What you escape to is happenstance, and people who have a tendency to get addicted often just find another addiction after leaving one, unless they can face the thing that they’re escaping from.

But habit is also a strong force. Whatever you do repeatedly will train your brain to return to those thought patterns automatically. Find other associations for your daily events.

I escape from obligations and social pressure by closing myself off and coding. But I don’t really think it has been enough of a hindrance in my life to do anything about it. Often it has been to my benefit (e.g. career) and it’s a way to recharge my batteries.

Maybe you just need to find a replacement addiction that makes you happy. Try tea.

Not only that. An LLM read all of it and now we can just ask the LLM what it says.

It’s like “The Blue Lagoon” except it’s him and his mom

Example.

Yes, “a friend” surely told you this story from his personal life.

I bet he wants to use the milkies for cheese production

wtf

No, but if he said “well I hate you two to the power of infinity” he would be.

Because women are socialized (and possibly genetically predisposed) to be better at building community and having many close relationships, often more physically intimate as well (touching, hugs etc). So men are less equipped to live alone.

Read Ender’s Game.

The first two thirds of that book took me at least a month to read. Somewhere around the last third I couldn’t put it down and kept reading until the end. By then it was 4 AM and I got only a couple of hours of sleep, but it was worth it. Needless to say, it’s not the same thrill when you already know how it ends.

BTW: absolutely do not watch the movie before reading the book. It’s much worse but still spoils the story. You’ll rob yourself of the first read.

I was at 5pm

which is which?

Joe versus the Volcano. It’s not that it makes me necessarily appreciate my life, but it makes me appreciate the world as it is and to be content no matter what shit I’m in. The universe is bigger than my troubles.

Fap.

But seriously, crawling into my bed (possibly with a good book) and just imagining that this warm soft place is my entire universe and anything outside it is not my problem.

Why would she whisper

Some people will refuse other treatments regardless, so you’re not changing the outcome.

Why would someone using another OS say that they use arch?

I’m European so I’m out of the loop. Do you actually have 17% interest rates? I’m getting 2% over here.
