I believed that for years, I did CBT, changing beliefs, "just do it" et cetera and I was helpless still, went from one addiction to another. Turns out I had ADHD. My life was totally changed after medication. You don't have i

Congratulations! You have apparently won in life by successfully developing internal regulation during childhood and also won the genetic lottery by not having a disorder of the dopaminergic system like ADHD. Now please leave be the signifi

You don't need to leave behind the conveniences of a smartphone to have a phone that is smart but without the dopamine traps. There are solutions out there like TechLockdown which allow you to make a dumbphone out of your smartphone us

I can spot it because I used the various social media apps in the past for a time. X users will start intensely talking about societal/political issues in the first 5 minutes of introduction. Facebook users will often belong to the con

That talking point - that rapid-form media creates attention deficit problems is honestly overdone and there's no evidence that it's true at all (that I know of). ADHD exists and is a mostly genetic condition, you can't catch

I agree that there is no 4d chess here but I disagree that Trump actually does or decides anything. At this point I'm suspicious of any viewpoint that posits Trump as a president/person with an agenda. I'm pretty baffled by t

Neat idea. I’m a native Turkish speaker, and when I was first learning English as a kid I remember always being baffled at the extreme chaos and irregularity in English. In the end I learned it mostly by exposure and not from school.

Idk, maybe the company hosts a website and I search the web for "product X"? Or an e-commerce website?

by Aerbil313 9mo ago
Web search is and always was perfectly suited to find the product you need, as are the multitude of e-commerce websites active in any country. Searching does not require advertising or word of mouth. Word of mouth is not inefficient either

This marks the day advertising entered a new era and got extremely efficient. Expect all other LLM vendors to follow soon. If they don't, they will lose.

by Aerbil313 9mo ago
Not really. Advertising results in extreme market inefficiencies through the game theory playing out (if you don't advertise as a company, you lose out to companies that do). It's the massive sink of the modern economy, there&#x27

Hey, the author, if you are reading this, I was stuck in the bog too. But in my case it was neurological rather than psychological. Turns out the "insufficient activation energy" you mention is an ADHD symptom. Meds worked total w

This was profoundly relatable for me in this moment in my life. Some great insight about my situation I haven't noticed till now. Give it a try.

Do not let the "shell" in the name fool you. Nu is a full on programming language. I've spent more time with it than pretty much any other lang and if I have to describe it in one sentence, I'd say: It's the most be

Yeah, same. Lately almost every time I think "Oh no way, this is not the correct way/not the optimal way/it's a hallucination" it later turns out that it's actually the correct way/the optimal way/it&

You don't have to leave your phone at home to be free of distractions. You can restrict your phone instead. I'm just a happy user, see techlockdown.com. Their marketing is geared towards the p*rnography addiction crowd but from my

Now that's certainly a take.

I don’t use traditional social media, at all? With how things are going, I’m starting to wonder whether I should make some accounts just to pass the normalcy test. I’m in college and I don’t have a single friend who doesn’t actively use Ins

I’ll be the one to say it: Liquid Glass is actually very good design that addresses design problems that persisted since the switch to touchscreens in a very comprehensive way. More specifically, the problem of how to have universally recog

My turn to complain about bugs. I used to balk at people when they complained about bugs on MacOS/iOS. My iPhone 7 which I used for 7 years straight, was more bug-free than my current iPhone 15 Pro. There’s no shortage of visual bugs w

Dude, that's wild. I can't imagine what you could do to get infected with so many different organisms. Are you sure there isn't some underlying unifying reason, like rare genetic disease that makes you more prone to infection

Not an American. At this point, I'm beyond surprised there still isn't a resistance movement that doesn't play by the rules, because the ICE sure are not playing by the rules.

Myopia or no myopia, afaict the way to reduce eye strain is the same. My understanding is that eye strain is either caused by unbalanced lightning (e.g. bright screen in dark room), or focusing on close distance for too long without giving

Thanks for these. I always used 1/8 to 1/4 of the pills (0.3 - 0.7 mg) out of principle of using the minimum effective amount, I didn't know taking the full 3mg pills is actually proven to be less effective and even possibly

The formula is: your prescription - (100 / desired distance in cm). For your PC that sits one meter away from your eyes, you'd need to subtract 1 from your real degree of myopia, e.g. for -4 degree myopia, get glasses that

After years of distro hopping I landed on KDE NixOS and stuck with it ever since. Stable, featureful, intuitive experience. KDE is visibly taking off.
