- Comment on How often is normal to masturbate? 6 hours ago:
It’s more a question of why, and whether that represents something functional, or something that gets in the way of other things you want to do, or should be doing.
That’s what defines addiction; whether it’s stopping you from a lifestyle that would make your spirit happy. Basically does it get in the way or take you somewhere you don’t enjoy being?
Because there’s reason, the body, and the spirit… and they don’t always agree. So making the right choice on who to listen to is important.
…for a lot of people masturbating is their primary cope (way of dealing with stress), and it limits them. They might get a fuller life if they diversified into hobbies, exercise, meditation, social activities, or self-knowledge/mastery (eg. Why do I do this?).
This gets into the question of if/when, and how to change habits.
However, it’s also perfectly possible what you do is just your jam, and you should just keep (literally) doing you.

You’d be better off either convincing allied nations to provide aid to Germany after WW1, or befriending Hitler and convincing him it has nothing to do with Jewish people.
If successful they’ll be no Israel Palestine conflict.

You clearly want to feel watched/paranoid then.

To put it simply, Iran is run by Russian alliances. Everywhere else is American influenced.

Check inside your roof and walls for campers. Place some door chimes around, inspect roof hatches for use. Use tape and tack some thread to doors, if the thread/tape is disturbed the door has been used.
Exercise more, have some probiotics, these reduce paranoia. Masturbate less, masturbation contributes to neurotic mindsets/thinking.
Relax, try to meditate ln being comfortable with your own mind (no devices). Go outside, maybe for a long walk.

- Comment on edible 1 week ago:
Because it’s in the fats, I think it’d be about how much of a life long stoner the person is.
So it’s not so much about whether the victim is high right now, it’s a question of whether they were repeatedly high whilst they put all the fat on (giving a path for the THC to be stored there).

I’ve said what I’ve said, and asked what I’ve asked. The answers aren’t in the link. “Maybe one day” is the answer.

There’s a sweet spot for RAM efficiency, it’s not actually a more = better thing. In many cases more RAM results in a worse bottleneck.
- Comment on Box3D | A revolutionary new physics engine developed by Erin Catto in collaboration with a Valve dev 1 week ago:
Pretty sure most game engines already have 3D physics engines… Which is why this news keeps falling flat. I don’t really get what’s being offered.
Is it free? Is it vastly more efficient? Is it being incorporated into one of the big three game engines?

Better than being “sold down the river”. Very few people stand up and fight for the good, the true, and the just.
