Bonus nugget: Store it in the door, next to the mayonnaise. It may not matter, but that's what I (happen to) do, and it works like a charm.

Haven't tried the cap less ones, but wouldn't surprise me if it also works, at least to a limited degree. Super glue cures because of the moisture in the air, and cold environments are very poor at holding moisture.

I'm sure brand also plays a role. The three adhesives I use the most, both at home and at work are superglue, epoxy, and threadlocker. And I always use Locktite brand for all three (well, 7 if you count the different strengths of threadlock)

I relate so hard to this. 

It came to a head one day in college, I had planned to cut my hair short because it was summer. I was feeling crummy flu like symptoms and kept putting it off until finally I had to give in and put off the haircut.

I felt such a euphoric sense of relief, it made me realize how much more me I felt with long long hair.

I mean that is kinda it, it is a simple body motion I never learned until yoga that clearly I was supposed to be doing because my body just digests/does all the gassy stuff better, this whole time I just didn't know.

No one told me "Do downward facing dog, your tummy will feel better!" I just discovered it from doing it so I feel like I wish I discovered that way sooner.

Growing up broke will make you feel broke for all your life no matter how much you save up. Therapy helps. Luckily with money you can afford therapy.

It'll go away when you have a billion dollars.

Or not.

It won’t.

But that’s a good thing. Don’t let it go away. Just learn to control it.

To add too this, one of those rolling guys with the 15°/20° magnetic holder. I can't recommend it enough! You might not be getting a piece of paper falling through without stopping. But I no longer have to make sure all fruits and veggies are skin side down when chopping, because I can't tell the difference any more.

Ah, you have to put them in a drawer so that there isn't as much airflow.

Well, I got a friend in the deal that made my life worth living, so I'd consider some dog food to be a negligible cost to pay.

I have not had that experience.

My go-to brands have been Posh Peanut and Lil Sleepies

A lot of things, but they are "just" beliefs. They're just narratives about narratives about narratives but they may be useful. I believe my hand will burn if I put it on a candle flame. Which is an intense experience I'm inclined to avoid. But it's neither a good or bad experience. I'm not going to go telling people that they should believe as I do. But I can tell them that by my assessment, it's pretty damn likely they'll experience pain if they put their hand on the flame. Up to them what they do with that.

In terms of my worldview, I "believe" that we're just being, existence, experience. "Matter" is a story. "Spirit" is a story. Both camps demand an opposition to another which is inherently dualistic and as such, misleading and pointless. Putting any of this in words is silly because each word in itself is just a story, a concept, a belief. Best but deeply flawed description of reality I can muster at the moment is that it's an experience of a free fall in total darkness.

Awesome, and welcome to the Penguin Club! 🐧

It's okay to work on yourself too. Nothing toxic about anything they said. Stop trying to discourage people from working on themselves.

What part of all this is toxic? Who said I don't have hedonistic tendencies?

I watch porn. I just waste several hours a week on it. Trust me, I'm going to keep watching porn. I just want to timeblock it a little better, improving my relationship with it.

Maintaining this kind of lifestyle will likely result in burnout sooner or later.

Which ones exactly do you think contribute to burnout? Because as I read through it, I can't think of a single one that does. Maybe journaling if you do it every single day (I don't).

I'm not trying to give up as well, just want to reduce it. I did try a four week break from it (made it to 2 weeks) and it did reduce the amount of time I spent on it from that point forward. So I might have to do another one of those.

You described it perfectly! I resonate so much with the feeling of the sun on your skin. When I visualise myself in a peaceful place, I imagine myself running through a field of tall grass with the sun's warmth on my skin.

If you don't mind me asking, how come you stopped taking them? I'm asking because I can't imagine my life without them now that I've learned of the difference they make. I've tried grounding techniques and journalling but they never helped quite as much as the medication did, so I can't rely on those methods.
