The well-documented symptoms of various mental illnesses are a clear sign for needing help. Believing that psychologists, or at least those psychologists one has access to, don’t have the competence to help is no such symptom.

I actually agree that they have similar effects if consumed similarly. Avoiding the mass consumption of short-form, attention-grabbing content is a great choice when you notice a decline in your ability to focus. I’ve occasionally done the same thing in my life, sometimes even cutting internet usage more radically than that, and it always created strongly noticeable improvements (or rather noticeable returns to my more natural state of mind).
That being said, I still browse lemmy memes and think it’s somewhat different from similar media for several reasons (these are broad generalizations, of course there are exceptions):
- Memes are more honest as they’re mainly aimed at making you laugh, and you can easily verify yourself whether you found them funny or not. Short-form videos will often contain stories, advice, or information, the value or danger of which you cannot verify so easily.
- At least if you’re looking in the right communities, memes are from the community members itself, not some slop by some influencer trying to get clicks at any price.
- I can browse through top of the day of my lemmy meme communities in a relatively short amount of time, get some enjoyment out of it, and then just move on with my life. I don’t think there is an equivalent platform for short videos. They want to keep you scrolling endlessly.

Not sure if this is relevant for your case, but make sure you’re also blocking subdomains of the specified domains. Adguard for example allows doing that easily via regex-like rules.

The design choices of people who make memes out of their political opinions are so random and funny to me sometimes. Like why is one of them a Russian gopnik? Why is the other one a blushing gamer femboy who paints his nails??

Some Audi, it was quite nice and new and the instructor would pet it and whisper to it every time I stalled the engine during lessons.

It’s the picture from the original post with the lyrics:
The hero of the Gods The crossing of the threshold The belly of the whale Refusal of return Hollow eyes Dry pale legs Howling on Thru fields and graves

Very true on the damage part. I used a similar mod in skyrim and it made the game significantly more fun to play.

To make people aware that lemmy exists in case someone shares. I recommend we all add it to our memes.
- Comment on antposting 6 months ago:
In some of these confrontations, ants can adopt ritualized behavior, even governed by certain implicit rules,[1] for example by organizing duels between the most important ants of each colony or choosing a specific location for a battle.
Damn.
