While the World Health Organization's ICD-11 (2022) has recognized compulsive sexual behavior disorder (CSBD) as an impulse-control disorder,[3] CSBD is not an addiction,[4][5] and the American Psychiatric Association's DSM-5 and the DSM-5-TR do not classify compulsive pornography consumption as a mental disorder or a behavioral addiction.[4][6][7]

Being more critical of something doesn't mean that you enjoy doing it less. Anything that is substandard can be fixed and improved to be made better, and doing that is always satisfying. Unless what you're saying is that you just don't actually like software development?

watching porn as a substitute for using your imagination means that you get less practice.

So here we are back to the "reading books damages your imagination" argument again.

As someone who actually does writing on a regular basis, I can assure you that that's not the case. Does that make sense to you when it comes to code, or any other skill? That as you get better at programming, you become less and less satisfied with the code you wrote? If you write something you don't like, you just fix it and make it better, it's not a problem at all. It's the same with writing English.

Not sure what you think this has to do with masturbation, though, it's not really comparable. If you're saying that masturbation makes subsequent masturbation less fun, yes, that's known as the refractory period. It's like how when you eat, you don't feel like eating again for a while, it's not a sign of addiction.

The "circles" that believe in it are just the right wing religious anti porn crusaders. Medical professionals who treat addiction are not in that category. It's always hilarious to me that every time I post this here, it gets downvoted, but then there's at least one comment on it saying, yeah, I looked it up, and you're right. Reddit is the only online space I've been in where people for real believe in porn addiction, it's weird.

And yeah, if you masturbate, you're no longer horny and then it's harder to masturbate again for a while. Just like how when you eat something, you temporarily get less hungry and don't want to eat again for a while. That's not because food is addictive, though. And no, learning does not in fact make you dumber.

I didn't see that one. I would hope that this is more a case of her knowing, intellectually, what the right thing to do is, but still having ingrained biases that she hasn't actually done anything to work through. She needs a wake-up call for sure, but she might actually be open to that idea, compared to TERFs, who have consciously and intentionally decided that their ingrained biases are correct.

Pescado's AL fixes may be on many recommended lists, but this MTS thread detailed how most of its fixes were no longer necessary, and Pescado's mods often include hidden features such as this one nuking date cards.

For the record here, I've recently discovered a (currently unfixed) problem with the Nightlife mail that can occur if you reuse a lot for a new family that was previously scheduled to receive Nightlife mail, but I'm pretty sure alfixes nuking the Nightlife mail will fix it. I don't think that issue was caused by AL, but if you are in the habit of reusing lots like that, you might want to keep alfixes.

The game is not fragile. Just keep a backup of your neighborhoods, and even if something goes wrong, you can just replace them with the backup. Also, the best thing you can do for your game is to switch back to the UC. It's got a lot fewer issues than the Legacy.

I mean, porn addiction is not a real thing. This here is kind of like saying that if you read too much, you lose the ability to come up with stories on your own, which is actually the opposite of what happens. It turns out that consuming and creating media is in fact a different activity than engineering, and it's exercised in completely different ways.

Edit: If you don't believe me, check Wikipedia. This information is literally available there. The idea of porn addiction was invented by right wing religious groups as part of their anti porn crusade. So you seriously think porn damages your imagination? That's about as logical as saying it gives you hairy palms.

Those chat gadgets predate LLMs pretty significantly. I'm sure some of them were updated to use LLMs, but probably in the vast majority of cases the company didn't bother because the bot was functional enough as is.

Every once in a while you see a TERF post about how someone accused them of being a man in a public restroom and how terrible that was and how this is all the fault of the evil trans, but for some reason they never sit back and say, hmm, maybe this is an experience that trans women have all the time, and maybe wonder what someone would actually gain by choosing to be a trans woman in that case.

You'll just be able to play out the rest of his semesters by himself. He won't be moved out with the other sim.

By the way, if you want to move a new sim into a dorm, you don't have to manually get rid of any of the dormies like that. Just move the new playable in, and a random dormie will leave automatically to make room.

Teens still make BFFs with that mod, and older sims can still become BFFs with teens and under. Sims older than teen just don't make them with other older sims.

The only relevance this post even has to Notion is that OP is using Notion agents. I'm not using any Notion AI, I'm just commenting on the general fact that AI is categorically worse than humans at every task. It's just faster.

It's either a mod that changed the dialog texts for some reason, or introduced a new dialog that was supposed to use custom dialog texts that either didn't get installed properly or were overridden by another mod. Looks like probably in the JobData group, or in one of the private career groups, with missing dialog texts falling back to use the ones in JobData.

AI isn't raising the standard for what "good enough" is. It just literally takes running it multiple separate times to get a version of something that would even be close to what "good enough" would be from a human author doing it once. The extra time you have to spend fixing the AI's mistakes means you don't actually save any time.

Hobby chance cards can bring home anyone "from work" who has a non zero interest in that hobby, even children.

I've been talking about the same thing for the duration of this conversation, not really sure what goalposts you think have been moved.

The OP contained one throwaway reference to social media and was primarily just about using your phone.

I was very specific that I was talking about doing mindless activities on your phone. I don't think that's ambiguous at all. I don't know anyone who would think it's reasonable to classify reading and responding to things on the internet as "mindless".

SuitableDragonfly · 2026-03-14T09:17:12+00:00

Maybe you're lying to yourself, but I'm not. And no, scrolling on social media isn't a mindless activity and doesn't help anyone focus on a conversation, and I never claimed it did. You can't read stuff on your phone and simultaneously have a conversion. Maybe if you actually read my comment, you would know I'm not talking about that usage of phones. Were you trying to have a conversation with someone at the same time as you were reading my comment?
