"Of course, you and I can be addicted to any number of things - to love, to sex, to worship of our children or our parents, to dominance, to submission. We can even be addicted to ourselves (see Charlie Sheen, Donald Trump). Such individuals can be absolutely fascinating at the same time as they're boring as hell."

I used it for a while when I first quit illicit #drugs since it massively quelled #opioid withdrawal, acting on the same receptors:
It's like the diet version of an opioid painkiller.
I slowly tapered off it until I didn't use it at all over roughly a year, and it used to be a lot more niche.
Now people are getting addicted to it in mass since it's a pain killer with extra effects, the #fda is eying it, and I'm glad I stopped.
💟 Mental Health Matters.
I live with clinical depression. I’ve lost a family member to suicide.
I know how real—and how silent—that pain can be. But help is available.

“I think the new web aesthetic is about getting active again. Platforms encourage passivity. They want us to stay still and scrolling, looking at what the algo wants to show us. Like, swipe, repeat. But the new web aesthetic is non-linear. It encourages you to move from one site to another, to dive down rabbit holes, and crucially, to continue sharing what you find.”
