Thorny_Insight, (edited ) to asklemmy in What salary do you think would make you happy?

Even a million would be enough for me there. That would give me average yearly income of 70k. That would maintain my current level of living and I’d probably just keep getting wealthier still.

Thorny_Insight, to asklemmy in What salary do you think would make you happy?

My plumber salary has been more than enough for me. I hope I can maintain it as self-employed aswell.

It’s not like older vehicles came with those features enabled by default. On my 15 year old pickup you can’t have any of that even if you paid for it. I think this is not quite the same as other brands that are locking you out of features like heated seats.

It’s reward without effort and it’s dose that makes the poison.

Is smoking weed bad? What about smoking weed all day every day?

Well I’m the victim of my own behaviour and I’m definitely not blaming anyone else but myself. Also, there’s a difference between doing something in healthy amounts and being obsessed about it. I don’t know about you but personally I feel like wasting 20+ hours into porn and masturbation in a week doesn’t seem healthy. It my not be the sole cause for ones problems but it’s definitely not helping.

Well ofcourse it’s a combination of things but I feel like there something to the theory of how overstimulation like that drains your dopamine reserves (or something) and kind of makes you numb to more mundane positive experiences.

Depression and anxiety definitely has something to do with it in my case but what’s weird is that I don’t have any desire for sex whatsoever. It’s 100% just a habit/addiction/distraction. I hardly even get any pleasure from it and without an exception feel absolutely shit afterwards. Then I hit rock bottom and stop doing it for few weeks but as the first signs of healing start appearing meaning I can feel the tiniest amount of horniness again I then relapse and the loop starts all over again.

Been without about a week now, again, and I’m about at the point where it starts getting hard again. By it I don’t mean IT.

Jokes aside there’s really some truth in this. I’m not sure if it’s the dopamine or that I just need to disctract my mind away from the things that makes me anxious but I sure as hell don’t do it because I’m horny. I don’t even remember what being horny feels like.

And no, I’m not one of those nofap/pornfree fanatics. For most people there probably is not an issue there. It’s only when you spend 6 hours several times a week doing something like this that you might start to consider this may not be good for you.

Thorny_Insight, to asklemmy in What really popular movie or TV show have you never seen?

I haven’t seen Interstellar yet. It’s probably the biggest one though i don’t really watch movies or tv series much anyway so I haven’t seen almost anything recent. Also Godfather, Friends, Reservoir Dogs …

Thorny_Insight, to asklemmy in Can't we just start calling it "Formerly Twitter" instead?

And Meta will always be Facebook

Thorny_Insight, to asklemmy in What is the best option to provide for people who are homeless in the cold?

First things that comes to mind about staying warm in cold weather is wool instead of synthetics/cotton and mittens rather than gloves.

Thorny_Insight, to privacy in The Boost android client for Lemmy is displaying these dark pattern ads pretending to be system notifications. What security/privacy conscious Lemmy clients do you recommend?

I don’t undestand the need to have an app for stuff that works just fine on browser. In my books less apps is always better. The desktop and mobile version of Lemmy on browser gets the job done perfectly and is way more polished looking aswell.

Thorny_Insight, to asklemmy in What do normal people look at on their phones?

I check the weather, use my calendar, listen to podcasts, take notes, use the camera and occasionally browse lemmy while on a toilet like now

Thorny_Insight, to asklemmy in Honestly - How much will you sacrifice for a better world?

Not that much if I’m being completely honest. I’ve got bills to pay so I’m going to keep driving my truck to work, consuming stuff and buying meat. I’m more than happy to take part in the collective effort however so when the government sets new laws and regulations to fight climate change I just go with it even if it inconveniences me. Up to a point obviously. I just don’t think that my actions as an individual makes any real difference. I’m not going to live more sub-optimal life than what I’m already living only so that I can feel good about being on the moral highground despite knowing it made no difference. I applaud everyone who does but that’s just not me.

Thorny_Insight, to asklemmy in Which YouTuber still creates high-quality videos to this day?

Yeah he has “Unlisted B videos” playlist also with a ton of lower grade content. He just loves filming stuff.
