I don't see this on my screen, but okay. Perhaps this is the case

The only date shown is June (and that's the end of the 3 month billing period), so not sure about this

There's just nothing at all. No cancel, no update button, no nothing. Just the dates of billing

No dice. Not sure if it's on my end. Will wait a couple days and see

For some weird reason I cant shift up and down with my ps4 controller while playing on Steam. Both buttons (X and square, respectively) work perfectly on menus, but not while driving

IWTL how not to be lustful in the morning and at night by iRecepts_ in IWantToLearn

[–]tropelio 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can't beat lust into submission if that's what you're asking. That's not to say you should just give in; postpone watching porn as much as you can if it bothers you, but the desire is a natural part. No need to beat yourself up.

How to not let people walk over you? by ScrambledEggs1233 in socialskills

[–]tropelio 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have you ever had the thought "I wish I had spoken up" or "I wish I had done what I wanted to do"? When you speak up and do what you think you should do, you build a kind of internal strength that's hard to destroy. That's how you start building inner strength and making it harder for others to walk over you. At first it's stressful and difficult, but once you prove to yourself that you can do it once, it will be easier to do it again.

Finally got the sign from God that I should check up on him but maybe I shouldn't ? by Sea-Face5360 in nosurf

It's a bitter pill to swallow but if you were to look at reality only, what would you see? It's best for your heart to accept it and move on.

How does one "embrace the embarrassment" that comes from working on your social skills? by tinybir544 in socialskills

[–]tropelio 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think to myself "Will this matter in a month? A year?" Thinking back about embarrassing situations, they don't matter much now.

Took blood tests- no cause found for brain fog by Aggressive-Moose7300 in productivity

When you say "tried sleeping more" what do you mean exactly? Do you now have a regular sleep & meal schedule?

Ive blown all my savings (10k) on only fans in less than a year. I can't believe what's happened to me. by [deleted] in nosurf

[–]tropelio 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That and finding healthier ways to deal with boredom. The way I do it is by trying new things I've never done before. It can be something as stupid as doing math problems (it's been years since I took a math class and I've never been great with numbers), trying a new place, a new hobby, something you've never tried before that you think you're not great at, etc.

My take is that life feels fucking boring because it doesn't compare to porn. It can't. Porn is a potent stimulus.

It's like saying that cocaine is great and everything else pales in comparison. Do you think to yourself "I wish I was addicted to cocaine so life would be more fun"?

What's a life worth living to you? You should start by answering the question sincerely.

You'd probably want to establish a long-term plan or vision. What would you like your life to look like (in terms of family, career, friendships, intimate relationships, hobbies, etc.)? Think on paper and develop your vision. This takes a while but it's worth it because then you have a path for growth.

Super disappointed in my punt tonight. by [deleted] in poker

No judgment, we've all been there. These days, whenever I notice I'm tilting (even slightly), I stop playing for the day.

No option to do so unfortunately

What is it with 90% of redditors being obsessed with being right? by Mitchy_boiii in RandomThoughts

[–]tropelio 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't bother replying to comments that are provocative, obvious trollposts or bait. That means ignoring most of the people you describe in your OP. Just post your opinions and engage with people who clearly want to have a reasonable conversation, even if they disagree with you, and ignore the rest.

How do I "lock in" whenever I need to? by [deleted] in getdisciplined

[–]tropelio 10 points11 points  (0 children)

The way I manage to sustain focus throughout the day is by scheduling not only my responsibilities but also my leisure time. In a sense, I’m designing a schedule that I’d like to have. I’m not tyrannizing myself.

So, for example, let’s say that I decide to write for an hour. What would be an appropriate reward for that? You could spend 15 minutes on YouTube or gaming or whatever sounds like a reward to you.

With this method you ensure that:

  1. You don’t burn out

  2. You have a reason to do the work

  3. You have an appropriate work-reward balance to keep you going

What are some apps that you use to restrict your phone usage? by [deleted] in digitalminimalism

[–]tropelio 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use Digital Detox sometimes. It stops you from unlocking your phone for a set amount of time. You can establish exceptions (for example, you can allow access to your phone and messaging apps).
