dcoo··on Using a mild Twitter addiction to get things done
Agree with the other commenters - it's not sad to admit to designing your environment in a way that is conducive to good habits. I use something similar to the timer container method as well. Our brains are plastic, and there will only be more evidence showing how phones have significantly altered them.

I don't disagree. I won't pretend to know how I would act if limiting porn consumption was actually implemented. But ignoring the thousands of people who self-report an ironically similar addictive experience you just described, but for porn, is dismissive and self-centered.

Not sure if you were saying this ironically, but I firmly believe limiting the consumption of porn would be a net positive. The negative effects are at best overlooked, but normally twisted, and the average age of first experience with porn keeps dropping.
dcoo··on An interview that disappeared – FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022
It still seems wild to me that, after discovering most of the judges who voted for Qatar to host the World Cup were bribed, everything proceeded as planned. Sepp Blatter was objectively corrupt, and Infantino is no better.
dcoo··on The pandemic has deepened an epidemic of loneliness
I often come back to this quote by Vivek Murthy, former and current Surgeon General of the United States: "During my years caring for patients, the most common pathology I saw was not heart disease or diabetes; it was loneliness."[0] Always strikes me that the issue was so noticeable even four years ago.

It's already been happening I think. One of the core members of the team who built the music recommendation features left a few years ago https://notes.variogr.am/2016/11/16/leaving-spotify-the-echo...
dcoo··on Full text of Xi Jinping's speech on the CCP's 100th anniversary
> We have never bullied, oppressed, or subjugated the people of any other country, and we never will

dcoo··on Why I Quit Tech and Became a Therapist
Someone who isn't me had a similar experience. The psychedelics just acted as a catalyst to act on things they already knew needed to change.
