  • The emotional thing:

    It is important to remember feelings are things and they arent given to us. But they belong with us. And while you cant suppress or choose to not have an emotion : You can control your actions, reactions and responses around emotions. Cognitive therapy can help.

    The breathing thing:

    be careful with it. Some people with mechanical breathing disorders (apnea) might be worse off if messing with breath counting and to just make sure they are taking a full breath or acknowledge breath and swifty move on to something automated like heartbeat or checking in on body parts so as to not mess with the mechanics of the brain for taking a natural breath.

    After decades of meditation using breath work it started to make my anxiety worse as i found it made my waking and sleeping apnea way WAY worse. Im pretty sure it is what caused the mechanical issue in the brain to hold a breath or not pull it in for too long until suddenly dizzy.

    Takes a lot of time with habit building on letting it go to break this cycle in the brain.






  • Almost anything i found had a chore based quest with shit loot after finishing a campaign.

    Eg: destiny2 and dying light2 DL2 was a great campaign and fun mechnics while i enjoyed some of the quests after until i ran into the sprint ones and then it kept force injecting this feature to compete with the person you’re finishing the quest with which just felt gross and overall detracted from the drama and fantasy like it was trying to inject a mario cart feature that was misplaced.

    they are a weird bunch. They want to be bad and do bad but not look like they are bad. And believe they are owed everyone to be in some sort of alliance that will assure they dont look bad. And then get mad like looking bad is the worst thing ever. worse than the bad things they do.

    “How dare you make me look like im raping this child while i rape this child!”




  • Wrong.

    You can. You just wont.

    You are speaking with an addictive mind that is left out of control.

    That is how addictions work. That’s your ‘situation’. And yea, i do know. I know enough to know when im being bullshitted. I know the bullshit language we use to convince ourselves.

    You are only bullshitting yourself here. Thats the situation. Im not the one who needs to be convinced for you to continue. Because im not the one making you smoke.

    Youre already taken that job on yourself. Every moment of every day. Youre chosing it.

    That is your situation.




  • I disagree with the prefrontal cortex being entirely at fault as there are kids out there that are entirely capable of avoiding dumb stuff and do take warnings. There are also adults entirely capable of doing exactly the same shit while having a prefrontal cortex entirely developed.

    We only take notice of the ones who don’t because they are the ones who make the news cycle and click baits such as this article we’re all commenting on here. Another thing we’re all addicted to and is not entirely only affecting children but also adults alike.

    I think you are also touching on impulse control which does get into mental health area which is another topic overlooked area when parenting and acknowledgment in what kind of limits should be nuanced from kid to kid. They are individuals. Not a hive mind.



  • you’re so convinced that all it takes is forbidding it so we run a society of forbidding children from phones for fear they can’t even monitor themselves rather than educate? Is that your solution?

    cuz of the ‘you invented it and there for i can’t help myself’ ? Are you really buying into that shit excuse?

    all because of a click bait article?

    Cuz this is the precise lazy parent approach rather than educating them I’m talking about here.

    Part of battling that isn’t obtusely buying into these kind of stupid manipulative excuses and rolling up your sleeves getting involved with the nuances.
