I don’t have this relationship with porn but have been addicted to other things. I have found some success in this method:
I tell myself “ok, I can do bad habit in three hours, and I promise myself I won’t feel bad if I do.” and then in three hours, if I can, I just tell myself the same thing over again, and put it off for three more hours. If I buckle, I don’t kick the shit out of myself, and I’ve found that I can make it a whole day if I bargain with myself based on time. If I’m going to do bad habit in three hours, I can think about other things until the three hours is up. And no matter what, setting a small goal (just three measly hours, what’s that to me if I can do bad habit as much as I want when it’s done?) and accomplishing it gives me a different form of reward.
Idk, it doesn’t always work, but when I was trying to fast for health/personal care it really helped me not eat until my “shift” was up.
It doesn’t have to be three hours, it could be 30 minutes, or “when I’m done doing other activity” or something similar. Small goals that are possible to attain.

Dull Men's Club@lemmy.world•My kid felt that my arm should not be unadorned
21·2 months agoAs a 38yr old artist person, I would like to thank you for reminding me of my own father letting me draw all over his arms when I was much younger. I can’t speak for your kids, but I remember my gratitude at the time (which I would recognize later) that my dad was letting me do something otherwise not ok for the sake of silliness and love.
Not to get all serious about it. But I hope you do cherish this, in the off chance your kids remember the love!
Edit: “in the off chance” I meant as “I don’t know what kids are into these days I feel old!!”
I took that to be an actual cup of coffee, in addition to the wine. So you don’t pass out before you can really speak your mind.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Whats your favorite "struggle meal"?
6·7 months agoScramble some eggs plain and mix into rice and some canned corn. Butter + Sriracha + soy/tamari . We call it “bachelor stir-fry” and it’s especially good if you can get your paws on some sesame oil!

Greentext@sh.itjust.works•Anon struggles with a one day chip
37·7 months agoDefinitely not gender-restricted. I think every guy I’ve ever dated has poked/shaken/bothered me awake just to ask in a loud whisper “pssst hey are you sleeping??” and when I’d say yes, I was sleeping, they’d be like “okay you should probably keep sleeping” or something like that.
One guy would find that I wasn’t in bed anymore (he snored) and then come to the couch, poke me to ask if I was sleeping on the couch, and then ultimately climb into the couch with me to then snore some more!
Looking back it is very endearing, but I’ve never considered hurting someone I love as much as I did in those instances.
Hey, he said he’d lower taxes. You can’t tax $0!

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Do you pronounce the word “data” like the Star Trek character? (Day-ta)
4·7 months agoI know it’s me just being a particular asshole, but I really don’t like the pronunciation data… it’s honestly tiresome, problematic, and outdated. It’s pronounced DATA.
Hi Lucy, I hope you are having a great day always!

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Why do people insist on not answering ALL the questions in an email or text message?
51·7 months agoI have the same question, as I will receive replies through text messages that are like this:
Me: hey! Are we still meeting today? Where would be good for you? I’m open from 10am until 6pm so just let me know when works best.
Them: I can still meet today
I get responses like this all the time, and I don’t feel like my initial text is too much.

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What's an absurd luxury you pine for?
1·8 months agoI bought a tabletop ice maker from Costco for $80 three years ago, and have never ever regretted it. It doesn’t pull a lot of power and works pretty fast.
The downside is cleaning it, it’s cheap so you can’t easily break it down and rebuild it, so you’ve got to get creative.
Edit: I see you said “nugget” now, (which I don’t exactly know what that means), but these ice pieces are not rock hard like refrigerator ice, fwiw.
