    Time for some shrooms and a little introspection, maybe a nice cup of tea with a slice of lime.

    Hey, one week of anticipation to distract from the yawning chasm of darkness is better than nothing.

        Honestly this is true for me too. I could buy something for 50 buck and wait a week in excitement for it to arrive only to abandon it in an hour.

        Or I can buy a 3 dollar lottery ticket for the weekend draw and be excited all week only to only lose 3 bucks when I inevitably dont win.

        Fuck you brain, You’ll never be happy/satisfied! I know your game and ill spend the least amount possible to get you to fuck off for a week!

    I’m unemployed now and had to stop but I still want an all sfp+ managed switch and some regular manages switches with sfp+ for my home network. And I actually do lie in bed with electronics before installing them. Its a building up motivation thing

      abd

      Anyway I always scroll down and read through all the comments before I say what someone else probably already said. And you said it :-)

      Except I would’ve said “and” instead of “abd.”

    I recently discovered fidget toys as a way of slowing my online shopping. Hasn’t stopped it, but putting it beside the phone decreased the phone time at least

    Don’t buy clothes to make yourself happy.

    Buy knives to make yourself happy! And then, if you’re feeling unhappy, you can go out for a walk with your knife, and find a cool stick, and you can whittle it into a magic wand or a spoon if you want to get really creative, and then you’ll feel happy.
