Could you perhaps talk to your local priest about it? Like during confession or something. Perhaps you could approach it something as such: "I'm struggling with envy towards this couple that's attending church and it's darkening my thoughts, what do?"
Honestly, that's a good start. I've deleted my reddit account as well as my discord account, and of course purging my devices of discord and similar apps. My next step will be limiting my time idling on the farms; if I'm not actively reading a thread I've bookmarked or have on my watch list, it is time wasted that could be used elsewhere.
I've nuked my socials including Reddit, but it seemed more like the obvious conclusion after writing a comment for 3 mins only to realize "this shit won't be read by anyone and I'm replying to a bot". I think KF of all places is a good place to waste time. You write, you read, you engage. It's not the same as doomscrolling though yeah, I tend to doomscroll through topics on repeat. I remember not using KF for quite a while and I lost out on nothing, but without Reddit and alike, I kinda need something to look up on now and then. It's equally bad to go completely cold turkey with nothing to replace even the smallest time sink.
I deleted all my social media back in 2019 when covid hysteria was at its peak, and honestly i don't miss it at all. Other than whatsapp for work and close people, i have no social media. If, of course, you don't consider forums like KF social media
I also don't consider KF social media. And neither is youtube. But they still take up a chunk of my life. And it's one thing to have a youtube video playing in the background and another to watch yt shorts for 2 hours straight. I wish there was an option to remove that on youtube. And you're right most of the time it's just dumb stuff.
Interesting idea, and it’s believable in a general way. I keep something similar in mind, which is that all things pass. They simply do. Some quick, some we can’t help but stoke the fire under a little longer, but at a baseline, all thoughts & feelings pass.
cant you do both at the same time? i always watch murder documentaries/retarded videos on youtube while cooking, or sewing.
I do this, and while it's not ideal, I wouldn't mind needing a youtube video playing in the background while I study IF I could stop doom scrolling for hours and hours and hours... because I can't study if I'm doing that lol.
I'm not that young though, that's the problem. I was lazy for a long time and now I have to lock in. Basically wasted 5 years of my life because I dropped out from a degree I hated. Now I'm a senior getting an easier degree, BUT regardless of how easy it is, I still have to stay focused and study, which I can't seem to be able to do...
I took this class because I already have what I assumed to be very basic computer knowledge, but almost the entire course is covering shit I've already learned, it's like this course is geared towards people who've never seen a computer before.
In my case it's mostly day-to-day stuff. It's hard to move on from a feeling that is invoked every day. If you worked a shit job for a few years and found another, yea you can write it off, but it sucks in the moment. Yesterday was rough and I just wanted to roll into bed after work, but I didn't, so that's already a win. Today I had generally good interactions at work and was alone most of the day, so nothing bad really happened. Yet, I sit here feeling uneasy, or do I? I can't even tell if it's my supposed sleep apnea, the hostility at work or the imposing darkness of winter.
Alternatively: "Yeah I know computers" while majoring in literature. So much education is just to get a tick on your resume. I remember my first CV, I lined out my entire-ass university degree. Now, it's one line for bachelor and one for master's. They're there, they're a tick for academia, and that's all the use they'll be. It's nuts how people go into debt and spend 5 years just to get a single shot at the springboard. Some people go straight into a great-paying job, others fall on their ass and never use it again.
What level of class is it? One, two, or three? I know some colleges classify their classes with levels, such as "Computer Science I", "Computer Science II", "Computer Science III" and it pretty much symbolizes difficulty. Idk if every college does that tho.
In the immortal words of an ancient philosopher: not all blacks are niggers and not all niggers are black.
I feel you so much on this. This is one of the things that I utterly utterly hate about the city. People are such disgusting lazy cunts sometimes.
Pretty much what Juan said. I think a lot of "racist" people would agree that when we say we hate niggers we mean the behavior and not black people. I've seen plenty of milkniggers in my life who act abhorrently.
