And don’t be ashamed about it. Don’t advertise it, but also don’t hide it. It’s 2024 and we’re allowed to ask for help.

Yeah, it’s about projecting confidence when you want something and you’re intimidated by it.
It gets mighty expensive.
I had the biggest crush on a coworker, but I stick to this rule like it’s oxygen. I waited to ask her out until after we stopped working together. To my surprise, she said yes.
Shit, I was able to get my GED to get in to college, didn’t complete, and get a job at one of the biggest tech companies on a prestigious project without completing either. But I was self taught and lived and breathed tech stuff to get there at 29 while the people with CS degrees were getting there at 22, so there’s a downside. But it’s just a piece of paper.
I only got around to blocking subs that are in other languages in the last couple of months. I should have done so sooner.
Two. And one of those was Blog Oklahoma cause I was tired of seeing their submissions and didn’t wanna block the community. I think blocking should be reserved for people who are obvious trolls only. I like to drink from the firehose.
YouTube used to promote the most-watched videos on their front page. This made it so that an unfunny white comedian with a bit called something like “history of dance” was kept in that unearned position because people who hadn’t seen the routine assumed it must be awesome for being on the front page. It was garbage, it was overhyped, I’m sure the dumbass felt like the best comic in the world, I hated it because I had to test software related to YouTube daily, I was glad when they changed it.
Long way of saying this idea is not a good one long term.
If it was me (which it was), I’d set a reminder and then every time I got a notification, I’d push it off until later. Also, I’d hate my(past)self for making the commitment to have to deal with the notifications.
Oh, great point that I’ll add to as I have battled insomnia all my life. If possible, develop a rigid sleep cycle where you get up at the same time every day and go to bed at the same time every night. Set an alarm and get up to it even if you have the day off. This helps me to a great degree. Once the pattern is set you can drop the alarm on days off because you’ll likely still wake up fairly early out of habit (I usually wake up at the time when the alarm would have been or an hour after and feel quite refreshed doing it this way).
Limit time spent online. Stop viewing the news. Improve the foods you’re eating, if you can. Exercise. Go to a nice spot in nature, if your location allows, and appreciate natural beauty. Every day, think of one thing for which you are grateful.
To not procrastinate.
Or guns.
Speaker on a phone call in public. For that matter, any sound from a phone in public.
The video for Fat was awesome.
Only when I feel like it. And OS updates that require a reboot maybe four times a year. And I run pro audio software that takes a long time to catch up, so never the new whiz bang version of macOS. And never the N.0.0 version for any of my other devices. I used to work / dogfood development software for work. Never again. It’s begging for your existence to be hell.
I don’t think there’s any group that doesn’t have some members who like domination. But I’m just speculating and am not an expert.
Still not wrong though.
Sounds like maybe a bit of depression could be hiding behind your anxiety about tech (if so, talk to a professional). I agree with some other takes that getting offline can be helpful. I got offline (as much as I could) for two weeks and it did a good amount to improve my mental health.
This morning I awoke with the following idea for a campaign issue:
