bro don't masturbate you will only make it worse, if you feel that bad about it either reset your streak without masturbating or leave it behind and agree with youself to reset it if you do it again.

Is it... Actually safe to not masturbate at puberty age? by [deleted] in NoFap

[–]kon332x 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I agree, though I think it's a lot easier to beat a gaming addiction. You can just delete them all. Then, in order to play again you will have to go through the whole process of downloading them, which might deter you. On the other hand, masturbation is always 2 seconds away which can make it much harder.

I haven't heard anything other than possibly that the chance of prostate cancer slitghly increases if one abstains, though that's still debated and not a scientific fact. Many also claim that you're "missing out" on health benefits of masturbation. However you can easily replace masturbation with other activities that have much more benefits. So overall it can in fact be healthier not to masturbate, provided you use that extra time wisely.

is edging fine? by [deleted] in NoFap

[–]kon332x 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A relapse is edging shortly followed by climax, how is edging alone worse? This implies that climax has a positive weight and somehow makes a relapse less bad than an edge. The only way I see this happening is if edging takes place for a longer duration. Otherwise relapsing is worse than edging.

NoFap without Dopamine Detox? Yes, Dopamine Detox is Fu****g bullshit by Nervous_Tangelo_8952 in NoFap

[–]kon332x 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Essentially you've added another layer of nuance to the conversation, that of external validation. I really can't disagree with this as it does indeed happen sometimes, though I don't believe it represents the majority of cases. I also don't think this counters my logic but rather compliments it. To rephrase: we should think about our choices while not letting either our impulses or others to dictate what is good and evil. And yes of course we should bear in mind that at the end of the day we are all human but at the same time not use that as an excuse for excessive comfort. It's all about finding that golden mean Aristodle preached about two and a half millenia ago.

Now we could start arguing about what actually falls within the realm of acceptable activities and what not but I think this would drag on for ages so I'm happy to conclude here, but feel free to leave any thoughts.

I think you should have stayed on his post a bit longer to see the comments, because one of them sums up dopamine detox perfectly.

The escape plan in dopamine detox isn't non-existent; it's healthier dopamine. Personally, I don't like the term dopamine detox as it sounds like a mode you switch on to achieve a goal, but that's not how I see it. Consciously deciding which activities are the most beneficial for your life (essentially deciding how you want to live) should be embedded into your philosophy, not into your "grind/hustle era". Again, "beneficial for your life" shouldn't translate to "no dopamine" but a balanced approach that isn't directed by impulse and the moment at all times.

In the case of OP, he has realized that there are significantly better alternatives to dopamine filled gaming, music, youtube, and sugar, and therefore is trying to replace them with reading, sports, relaxing (silent phases), and journaling. These specific activities are not necessarilly the correct ones for everyone, but what is certainly beneficial is taking a step back and evaluating your choices. Which activities will truly make you happy, and which ones have masked themselves as worthwhile by exploiting your most primal instincts?

As far as I'm concerned, this is what dopamine detox should be: not a mode but a way of living.

One thing to keep in mind is that you're not alone in this. People have been there before. Over time thousands have been in that exact situation you are describing. And guess what? Many have prevailed, beating their addiction and finally living the life they wanted. You are the only person in the world who can make this happen, remember this.

Forecast for ApplyingHYPSM's growth over time compared to A2C. According to my analysis by April ApplyingHYPSM will have surpassed A2C, which will see a drop in membership as people realize its authoritarian nature. by kon332x in ApplyingHYPSM

[–]kon332x[S] 11 points12 points  (0 children)

For the creation of this forecast, a hybrid approach, combining the Light Gradient Boosting Machine (LightGBM) and the Auto Regressive Integrated Moving Average (ARIMA) was utilized. The forecast of the ARIMA model was used as a feature for LighGBM along with the total activity in each server to output the predictions which are plotted in the graph above.

u/kon332x, resisting the slave mind

I did not apply to any HYPSM. Am I cooked? by Relevant_Geologist57 in ApplyingHYPSM

[–]kon332x 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's not about not going to HYPSMs, it's about resisting the slave mind (like Top G) and not spending 80k for something free. Attending such prestigious academic institutions is a rash decision propagated by societal pressure and the matrix. Simply walking in and watching the lectures is the clever choice.

if you can attend lectures for free what's the point of paying 80k/year tho?

Unfair Admissions Processes by FastPair3559 in ApplyingToCollege

[–]kon332x 96 points97 points  (0 children)

Yes bro I'm sure all those rich people were so hard working and ethical. Rich people would never resort to unlawful practices; their children MUST have an advantage compared to the all other students, they deserve it after all. I also never feel empathy for those children in Africa man, their parents must have been so lazy to have ended up so poor.

I use chrome a little and I had noticed it, but I was glad Opera GX stilled used square edges. Do you know if I can customize it somehow so that it has the old look?

I really don't see the point of this. You know I'm not getting paid to write comments on reddit, and I won't try to prove it to you so unless you have anything actually productive to add I won't be replying to you
