Well good cause those supplements taste rank

Nice, I don't feel so bad about my RX 560 now

It's quite a sweet rationale for wrecking clocks to be honest.

Also it's always a delight to see the Porte Noire unexpectedly 😍

No I mean it works perfectly fine but - it's absolutely my fault for getting a 60% - I cannot deal with all the shortcuts and hotkey combinations. Like, the up arrow is the same key as ?, and when I was on Minecraft trying to ask a question I'd end up repeating myself because I'd hit enter as soon as I finish typing my ?. But of course the blasted thing thought I wanted the up arrow (loading the previous message sent).

Anyway that's just me being a plonker, there's nothing inherently wrong with Royal Kludge keyboards. Except the name maybe 🤔

Well TIL my Royal Kludge RK61 keyboard is aptly named! I hate the bloody thing

Oh not at all I didn't think you were rude, on the contrary I thought your reply was nice and gentle.

I'm absolutely willing to leave my body to science once I die, hoping that it might help this field progress. But for now, I'll be sniffing my latest acquisitions to get my dopamine high :D

Yeah but what if the root cause was a genuinely wonky brain? I've displayed this kind of behaviour for as long as I can remember - I vividly remember being told off for stealing sweets from my Nan's stash at the age of like 6 or 7.

It's a bizarre thing, but I will say that I'm very fortunate that I'm not into hard drugs or gambling or stuff that truly destroys lives. And even more bizarrely I made a desperate attempt at switching from food 'addiction' to cigarettes and alcohol but that never worked. I never managed to get into it, I even tried vaping for fk sake lol.

I wish someone would do experiments on me, I'm clearly not normal! And perhaps I'm not the only one who feels this way. Brain science still has a long way to go.

I feel both attacked and seen at the same time. It's interesting isn't it, but I think treating the behaviour is wrong. I can only speak in my experience but I thought for the longest of times I had a binge eating disorder. Then I caught diabetes because of it and eventually started on GLP1s. All of a sudden I could not get my pleasure from food anymore and I was thoroughly miserable. That's when I started buying perfumes. I even keep a spreadsheet about them, and just like the lady in the article I bought over 400 in 2 years. Although judging from her pic she gets the good stuff (read, expensive) whereas I stick to cheapies, decants and clones so I'm not too deep in debt.

The mechanism is the same though. If there was a way of making my brain stop demanding pleasure at all times I think it would be better than learning other 'coping strategies' because that damn thing will never shut up. It's exhausting.

Marketing types know about this need for constant pleasure and exploit it. I have ditched most of my social media accounts because I found myself making purchases not even 2 minutes after logging in Instagram. Absolutely evil.

Excuse me pardon what? There's a new season of Osomatsu san???

Hej du!

Oooh super, tu les bourres avec de l'herbe à chat et boum ça fait un jouet parfait!

Phwoaaar, looking good!
