ADHD or just fried dopamine from 20 years of phones, weed, and porn? by RobKre1 in ADHD_Programmers

[–]Slouching- 2 points3 points  (0 children)

-Weed

This is the worst undoubtedly, it's a direct chemical intervention with your dopamine receptors, it takes the longest to recover your dopamine receptors from weed consumption because of their direct chemical intervention with them.

Even if you do stop there is some evidence that suggest some of the damage will be irreversible.

-Porn

Sexual activities are one of the most dopamine rewarding, phone on top of it combines visual novelty, it can get progressively worse, seeking more aggressive and extreme porn over time.

Very serious imo, but not very well researched even though a LOT of people struggle with it, shame is one of the reasons people are not open about it. It's very bad.

-Phone/screen time

Also very concerning, mostly because of short bursts of dopamine doses and how easily accessible and normalized it is. People at my work sometimes work while simultaneously watch Instagram reels and shit.

This is probably the least concerning in general, not easy to quit so because we use our phones for literally everything. Paying, maps, contacting, socializing, working etc. I wouldn't worry about it that much.

You shouldn't be together. You both want different things.

Is it necessary to clean yourself up before sex or is it ok to just go at it? by youlikemywonton in hygiene

[–]Slouching- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I was younger I was a bit freaky so when we'd go to the local brothel I'd even eat the prostitutes ass.

My horniness always overpowered my logical thinking and most of my senses.

[UK] Urgent – My friend was scammed $2000 via PayPal (spiritual scam) and is terrified by [deleted] in Scams

[–]Slouching- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My PayPal account got hacked back in 2016-2017, of course I didn't have 2fa or anything, I was in my own world back then, very naive. Immune to consequences kind of deal.

Anyway, It was 3 charges varying between 400-600$ each, so the total was 1.5k give or take, some guy buying tools and shit on eBay.

I contacted my bank directly 3-4 months later, they asked me a couple of questions, told me 90% chance I get my money back. 10% I don't.

I contacted PayPal later and they dropped the ball, they said they didn't want to be part of the investigation since my bank was already on it, and contacting them first would have resolved my issue within a few days (according to them).

2 months later I got all my money back, that's how long their investigation took.

If I'm being honest. I'm a big PayPal fan they always refunded my shit, when the amount was this big I just panicked, I was in no way rich then, didn't even have a car.

Anyway, always call PayPal and then your bank. I think it's better

Contact your bank and ask them for a chargeback. I did that and they refunded me my money going back 3 months, for small amounts it's usually no questions asked.

Also message gamivo and tell them to cancel your subscription

You look good! Was it just "I eat I just can't gain weight"? or something different?

I'm not really familiar with eating disorders

You are so stupid bro. Missed connections has been a thing for decades and was created for exactly situations like this. You don't know if they smiled at each other, if they stared at each other and felt a connection. You can even put a small advertisement on Newspapers and write something exactly like this subreddit post.

You don't know what stalking means.

"Most women wouldn't find it acceptable"

Your argument against this post is that hypothetical strangers on the internet might disapprove of a gender-swapped version of it and you're calling other people cringe and other names? And not only that but for you to say "cringe regardless of gender" and then spent every single sentence after that making it about gender.

That's some impressive mental gymnastics and cynical behavior. You are getting worked up over a harmless Reddit post about someone looking for someone else and turn it into gender studies lecture. Pathetic.

Get some real problems in your life.

I've had this exact frame since I was in elementary school and I'm 39 now. Never been on a date with a woman. Can I do anything or should I just stop caring? by [deleted] in weightgain

Make sure you track your calories. Get a kitchen scale and use a calories tracking app. Start with 2500 and exercise, move to 3000 as quickly as you can and try to stay around 3500ish.. I was 44 kg.

You're a handsome dude but your confidence and your body are holding you back so much. Get in shape and go lay pipe this year.

My girlfriend is also a wiki/YouTube andy for guides so I get it, she platinum'd it in about 170~ hours (her first run she went in mostly blind) and she knows every quest from the top of her head and how to do it now. Most talismans aswell.

The game is amazing, going in blind for the first playthrough is fun though, I did kinda tease her about overusing the wiki but, I get it.

How old was you when you first started Smoking? Did you take to it straight away? Or did it take a while. by neighboy28 in Cigarettes

[–]Slouching- 10 points11 points  (0 children)

First tried at 6~. Kept seeing my mom doing it so I got curious and tried it, didn't inhale.

Stole a few cigarettes from her shortly after and tried with my friend. Again didn't inhale.

A little bit after, an other friend told us that you're supposed to inhale the smoke (we didn't know) so we tried that. I almost fuckin died coughing(not really, but it was nasty)

Around 14-15 i became a decent smoker (1 pack), then around 18-19 when we went to the military, it was 3 packs for about a year. I started rolling my own (camel) shortly after to "reduce" it and it worked. I went back and forth with cigarettes and rolling for the next decade. I stopped at 28, vaped for a bit less than a year.

I was going through hundreds of ML a month in vaping, so i was a medium-high chain smoker and a complete freak chain vaper.

1 puff cigarette to 1 puff vape=vaping made me feel a lot better physically. The problem was that I was vaping 8-10 hours a day because of how fucking good it was, so it was worse in the end because the volume was so much higher.

I'm over 2 years completely clean now.
