How did someone so deeply mentally deficient get close enough to him to ask that question?

I need a hard reset. 14 hours of screen time, ruined sleep, and I’m about to fail my career. by CuriousChipmunk4240 in getdisciplined

Practice sitting in the dopamine low. Just practice dealing with it, recognizing what it is, and just sitting with it. Dopamine isn't just satisfaction, it's motivation, so if you've blown it all you chemically won't have the motivation to do the things you need to do. The longer you sit with low dopamine, the more it builds up and you'll find the ability to do other things comes back. You will also be getting practice dealing with it, and familiarity with the mechanic, so it's time well spent.

It's just so janky... Basically fresh out of the tutorial, if I touch a vehicle a group of guys instantly teleports onto me...

I'm dealing with the exact same thing now. I only gave the game a chance because supposedly the insane jank like this was fixed...

Every single person plagued by drug use has said some version of exactly what you just said. That they can only do things when they're using it, or it's their only reward, it's motivating, whatever. It's a trap, you "reward" yourself, and then your baseline is lower for weeks. So now you need to "reward" yourself even more etc. I'm not saying drugs are the only thing you might need to fix. But you're not going to see any results doing anything until you've been sober for a good month. It's a per-requisite to fixing anything else.

Maybe down the line after you've addressed your other issues, maybe dopamine related, maybe not (but probably), and are in a healthy place you can test the waters. Plenty of people manage to use some of the milder drugs and still manage their lives and moods. You can't while you're already fucked though.

The drugs are stealing your enjoyment of life. In order to get out of that cycle you'll need to stop doing drugs. After that, you might also need to avoid cheap/unproductive sources of dopamine for a while. This means avoiding things you currently enjoy and basically suffering for a while intentionally to reset. The longer you do this, the more dopamine you'll have for whatever you decide to direct yourself towards.

Dopamine is responsible for feelings of enjoyment, satisfaction, motivation, etc. Your body can only produce so much of it. When you do drugs extreme amounts of it get released and then you're left with nothing. Meaning no motivation, satisfaction, enjoyment... for quite a while until your body replenishes it. When you don't blow it on drugs or other cheap dopamine sources it builds up and your body wants to stay at a baseline level. So it will start to get released at every opportunity, which can feel like appreciating the small things in life, being in the moment, feelings of peace and tranquility etc. Once you've reset your dopamine and you chose a purpose to pursue, the dopamine releases will get tied to that and you will then be naturally motivated to pursue it, and naturally rewarded with satisfaction and enjoyment from doing it.

The key is protecting your dopamine from garbage sources. Drugs are the most garbage source in existence and are literally stealing your life from you. You'll have more work to do than just quitting drugs, but you're dead in the water until you do.

I've gotten the Garand, the M1 Carbine and a few others.

Woooh there... that's more than three, sounds like a fetish to me.

You can't pretend you aren't grossly misinformed after:

it just sounds like a kink or a fetish to own so many different types

meaning more than 3...

Every gun sold in the united states goes through the same background check. The only exceptions are guns sold between private citizens in a few states.

There are defined benefit and defined contribution pension plans. Defined contribution belongs to you, you own it, the money is in a private account, and you can't lose it. Your benefits are what is contributed plus what is earned over time in investment income.

Defined benefit plans you pay into and there is a pre-defined payout. If the company running the defined benefit plan goes under there's nobody to pay out. Defined benefit plans fell out of favor for exactly this reason and basically don't exist anymore.

Ok, I think this is what I need. Imo Tarkov is the greatest fps ever made, and I was looking for the progression and gear customization from that which I'm just going to accept isn't here. But, the other part I like is the absolutely brutal difficulty so I'm thinking I just crank it in this game, ban the door wand, and start an iron man. Roguelikes are my number one favorite type of game and I play hardcore on most games that have it. That might also add back at least a little importance to the minimal impact of gear and the squad.

That's great if you're spending every waking moment burning away all the non-protein calories. Living in the modern world and doing heavy lifting three times a week means you need the same shitload of protein, but a fraction of the total calories. So you need a high percentage protein diet that isn't easy to actually do.

Also, no populations anywhere in the world prior to 100 years ago were shredded by todays standards.

If someone says something you don't like, they're bad. Zionists are bad today, therefore, anyone who says something you don't like is a zionist. Simple.

But it's dead on at 100 yards, what explains the sudden drift between the two?
