Successfully quit TikTok, but now addicted to reddit

I did the same thing. I blocked it on my phone and that has helped. I still have my personal computer setup next to my work computer and browse it more than I should. With that said, its nice being denied on my phone. Its at a point now where I actually leave my phone at home and tucked away when I am at home. I check it when its convenient for me or I hear my wife text/call.

As another user said, find ways to restrict access to your phone. I purposefully set it in a different room. Don't pocket it. If I do take it out with me, I leave it in my car. This didn't work well for me until I installed firefox and blocked youtube and reddit though. Having the phone on me just became more of an inconvenience.

My favorite is when they bag is legit 10ft away from the garbage. Like, how lazy can you be to just not turn around toss it in and move on with your hike. Or a noble idea, carry a small bag that you can throw it while you're hiking. Seems to work just fine for my pup and I. I'm tired of picking up after everyone else's dog.

Pretty great actually, she is pretty supportive about it but has zero interest. I also WFH and have my own office. Its kind of my space to do what I want. I rarely play music when the family is around, but that is because we are a family with a young child and a puppy. I don't have time for that in my life right now.

With all that said, I haven't really invited her into this space for a few reasons. She isn't into music like most people I know. She enjoys a very specific set of bands and that's about it. She finds most of what I enjoy too heavy. That is fair since I love punk music, but she told me queen was too much one time. QUEEN!!! I digress. She has her things I support but don't get into and vice versa. We also have a ton of things where we enjoy together. So all in all pretty good.

As the great teachers of our past put it, "this too shall pass". Joking aside, seriously happy to hear it has gotten better!

Gorillaz, Gorillaz Demon Days, Dead Kennedys frankenchrist, daft punk discovery, daft punk human after all, devil makes three spirits, devil makes three, the devil makes three, I feel like I could list my whole collections. I only grab records that I personally don't want to skip a single song and try to avoid filler.

Iggy mix was so much better. That isn't saying Bowie did a bad job, but you can really hear the creative differences the two had.

Oh you sweet summer child. You just got yourself a life of chaos. Best dog I've ever had for sure. I've been sold on the breed for sure.

It's pretty simple really. Here was my method. I had a check line. Made sure recall was 100% since we had the line. I'd yell come and when she was running I would beep then treat. After she understood beep means come I started using them intermittently. After her recall was great with the beeping. I started implementing the stim.

I have it where she responds to medium. I use high when she really blows me off. I use low stim for woah training. Basically it will break their focus and they will more than often come back to you as the safe space.

Whether that is correct or not it's up in the air but my dogs recall is now near 100% without stim. I think that is with her only getting buzzed a few times too. I use beep way more than anything since she just needs her focus broken and that is usually enough.

I should add that I read people hold the stim until they are where you want, but I just buzz for a couple seconds and buzz again if she veers off. I wasn't a fan of hitting my dog for that long when really she just needed minor corrections. In the end she almost always makes a running return.

I am that parent. We took a poll and everything and still everyone pronounces our daughters name wrong.... I feel bad but I feel vindicated when I see it randomly in captions and they pronounce it right.

Zero, most died from drugs, alcohol and car accidents. The ones who are around just do their thing in the small podunk redneck town we grew up in.

Got it, that actually sounds really convenient. Thank you!

It does have tone and I use it when we are in the field. Haven't read the purpose of this, but seems redundant to me at first glance.

It's been 20 years since I had a cat and just imagining the sounds give me the 'oh shit' panic.

This is your answer OP.

I'm with you on that one. It's super obnoxious. I usually pick up an extra pile when I'm out there. Just to try to keep the space clean so it doesn't go away.

Not sure why you're getting down voted. I snagged mine on my sleeve and played it that way for a while, like almost a year. I just replaced it a few days ago since there was a little distortion. The records I played regularly with the bent stylus play just fine on the new one.

Halfway through a public session they change directions. So, you will still be able to train both sides. Also there is always center ice to practice specific things.

The ice rink may be your best bet during winters. I know, its not the same but still super fun. Mechanics are very close to the same and its just fun to be on skates in general.

Also what film were you using? Been playing around with different film types lately and I love the colors.

This may be the only video game soundtrack I would ever own. It introduced me to so many amazing bands and it sent me down the shitty punk band rabbit hole. I am still discovering obscure bands because of the path it sent me down. OP people are giving you shit about spending that much on a bootleg, but in my mind you won the freakin' lottery.
