It's a slow trickle. It's like the research that was done into gambling addicts. The majority of dopamine doesn't come from winning. The majority of it comes from the anticipation. Or in our case. Writing out a long comment that no one else will read.

It doesn't mean you feel euphoric. It's more like a reinforcement. -an addiction.

Lol i just went to the comments to reply "yeah? Well i disagree!" To op's post - now i feel seen 😂

I helpfully tell people why they're misinformed cause I think learning is for everyone.

I'm bored. There's nothing to do here on this based opinion piece.

I've just been blasting off whatever I'm thinking in order to get Lemmy's numbers up.

We get it bruv, you win, you're definitely the most helpful rolls eyes

nobody likes that guy online either

Dude, for sure you do NOT love arguing. I don't even think you like it. Just quietly accept that you're wrong.

It's the Live Internet Theory. Everything you're reading is the sock puppets of one hyperfocused person getting all the dopamine.

I think increased screen time has contributed to more people developing symptoms of adhd. If we'd just go out and get a life, we'd be able to focus more long-attention span on things.

Nah, just the cool kids. Welcome.

The girlfriend doesn't have it, and she hates debating/arguing. She also doesn't post things online.

I'll give you a minute to figure out the point I'm making.

If you just look at people arguing into the void online sure lol

Lol!!! I saw your comment, wrote something to get shit stirring at a bit higher pace, and pressed cancel. I don't have the mental capacity at the moment for the shit I was about to send in every direction hahahahaha!!! But I thoroughly enjoyed the shit that you threw about
