How do I fix my internet addiction? I can't just turn off the internet because I need it for school and work.

>>162305 Find something better to do, i guess? The ultimate step to quitting anything is to care, either by sheer willpower or by deep filthy shame.This also probably isn't the best place to ask either because i love the fucking internet and everything that's not internet, like being outside and chasing pussy, strikes me as foolish endeavors. The only possible advice i can think to give you is "literally touch grass and have sex, incel".

>>162305 If you can't step away by choice, ground yourself with an obligation IRL. A club, some friends you meet every friday for drinks, hell even just going out with your family, something that gives you something tangible and worthwhile to do on a regular basis. Internet addiction's largely a symptom of having nothing else to live for in your neighborhood.

>>162305 >implying addictions are real You ARE the addictions. Fuel the fire. Now breathe in deep. What do you smell?

>>162305 Play some fucking videogames?

>>162294 Chris didn't oversell it. He didn't even want to press charges. This is purely on Will Smith.

>>162305 How big is your backlog anon? Isn't it time you start working on it? The games coming out aren't getting better so you might as well fire up that emulator or install a classic you never had the time for.

>>162305 Set up a filter that blocks websites you waste time on Set a pomodoro timer if your time management sucks (if pomodoro doesn't work look up some alternatives) Create a list of things you need to do for the day and put them in order of priority, and make yourself "earn" the fun stuff by getting the important things done first (great for improving mood and self-esteem too) Set a timer when you are on the net and get off when you're done, you'll find you enjoy the internet more when you're limited with the time you spend on it and you won't waste it on pointless shit as much The last point is about willpower and the only way to build it is to practice it. it's like a muscle. keep practicing. you won't get it right every day but don't catastrophise with black and white thinking, just do better the following day and keep trying >>162079 Dread was legit good. Not great, but good. That means it's dogshit to most of /v/ but there's no pleasing half the try-hard retards on here.

>>162279 >continues to amplify scripted propaganda Why, dipshit.

>>162313 Nah that wasnt scripted, and if it was it backfired in an spectacular fashion. Literally everyone, including the oscars, are getting shat on, the only person to not catch any actual flak was chris rock from being one hell of a professional.

>>162305 Get a pixel phone and put grapheneOS on it, you now have a dumbphone that can handle secure shit while making the installation of other apps a pain. In an ideal world, you could just step away from your pc and only get on once a week to talk/find music for your walkman, grab some books, check for CVEs, read up on any retardation gathered by the anon intelligence agency, whatever you actually want to do with yourself. But you'd have to scour the archives and get past all the filler in this thread to get a watered down version of that, which is probably why people use the rest of the webring. Maybe look up a printer with a cheap ink cost per page ratio, like the epson ink tank ones, and print out any long articles so you don't get distracted. In short >make your phone useless for anything besides calls, texts, email, bank, crypto, notes, spreadsheets, whatever >use your pc to grab things for disconnected use and minimal interaction to do so And unless your job pays extra for it, you should probably just put your phone on do not disturb when off hours. The french have a law that enforces this right. But the better question is, what part of internet addiction is wrong? Unless you're stressed from interactions or information, or overuse sites/services besides imageboards, it's probably healthier than interacting with npcs or keeping to yourself. If your social life is shit or you can't be motivated to do things, being in a dark room won't fix that on it's own.

>>162305 Have some self-control faggot. Are you a fatass too?

>>162314 >wasn't scripted <articles written right before the oscars about how "nobody watches it anymore" and "they'll have to reinvent themselves because it hasn't changed since evil whitey started it in the '50s" <suddenly a bunch of niggers are in charge <suddenly niggers chimp out on stage <suddenly all media outlets are reporting on The Oscars for days afterward as though this is legitimate content >THERE'S NO WAY THAT PEOPLE WHO READ FROM SCRIPTS FOR A LIVING WOULD EVER DO ANYTHING SCRIPTED! You're a fucking NPC.

>>162317 You really think Will Smith isn't a cuck who would be retarded enough to do dumb cuckholded shit? Hollywood isn't smart and you overestimate their intelligence.

>>162318 >by claiming that they're all just puppets reading from scripts and playing parts, you are OVERestimating their intelligence What?

>>162319 >Calls others NPC <While falling for a meme

>>162319 >They're merely pretending to be retarded >Calling them actually retarded is overestimating them!

i dont know i actually agree with that anon, it feels like the entire thing is just another scam to get viewers and talked about. But all it did was blow up and make people look down on actors and will smith particular even more

>>162321 >merely pretending No one said this. It's because they're retarded that they define their existence by taking the roles of others and being mouthpieces for a propaganda outlet in exchange for currency. The idea that anything genuine could come from people who have been raised and molested from childhood to simply parrot what they're told to say and do is an overestimation. >>162320 What's the meme, dumbass?

>>162322 Sometimes people are this fucking retarded and anons need to remember that.

>>162323 >No one said this. You did. You said it was scripted, i.e., fake retarded shit for money, instead of real retarded shit because they're dumb niggers.

>>162325 >You said it was scripted, i.e., fake retarded What sophistry. Imagine being unable to reconcile puppets dancing on strings with their own inability to act.

>>162326 I'm sorry you think that being fake retarded is more retarded than being real retarded. Maybe one day you'll stop being so retarded. And remember, April Fool's was yesterday.

BACKER? Can we make the thread dwarf themed?

>>162324 i just think that anything that doesnt lose interest in less than 3 days means its a slow news cycle or its propped up by the mainstream media for views. And since theres clearly a war going on that rules out the option 1

>>162329 You also forget people laugh at other people being retarded and it's been a thing for immemorial.

>>162327 So why are you still shitting the bed with bullshit no one claimed?

>>162331 Words mean things anon. Some niggers were retarded on TV. You say that was scripted, which is a claim that it's fake retarded. It doesn't matter if you qualify it with fancier words like "acting" and "scripted". It still means the same thing. And it's still less retarded of them than being real retarded. Saying you didn't say this over and over again doesn't make it not true.

>>162317 Neither Will Smith nor Chris rock are good enough actors to pull that off. And again, noone cares about the oscars, noone is wanting to watch It Next year, people are talking about the bunch of mouth breathing hypocrites they are since if average Joe had done that he would at the very least be escorted out of the building by security, not given a trophy, 5 minutes to talk about love and peace and a standing ovation. You trully are misjudging the fallout of the slap, anon.

>no more flags C'mon, just one more day.

>>162335 make your own /v/ :^)

A little early but NEW BREAD NEW BREAD >>569152 >>569152 >>569152 >>569152 >>569152 >>569152 >>569152 >>569152 >>569152 >>569152 NEW BREAD NEW BREAD

>>162332 >Words mean things Literally my fucking line. >You say that was scripted, which is a claim that it's fake retarded. You're just inventing designations for something you don't understand to try to weasel out of accepting that reality isn't as you want it to be. Fuck off already, retard. >>162334 >people paid to act their entire lives couldn't act I'm starting to think you people are genuine shills for this shit. >And again, noone cares about the oscars, noone is wanting to watch It That's what I fucking said. <Pfizer creates alopecia drug <Pfizer sponsors oscars <news articles written in lockstep about how "oscars need something fresh" <something involving alopecia "happens" at oscars <news articles written in lockstep about alopecia And then retards try to claim it wasn't scripted. Absolutely suspicious.

>>162317 I've watched it over 100 times, it looked very real to me. All the little details too. Chris Rock was in a state of bamboozlement immediately after the slap, you can see the short pause he had and him stumbling over words. However, he did manage to stay professional, be the bigger man, and keep the show going. If this was scripted, then Will Smith has unironically fooled the world with a masterpiece. Which is the less likely option.

>>162310 >Will Smith just smacked the SHIT out of me He really did over sell it. >WOW I mean bro. It's not real. It's a promo for a wrestling match made by two actors.

>>162298 >no amount of 2D chest flattening will undrink that breast milk stored in the company fridge. This should be a banner.
