treefrog,

The habit is the part that says oh I should brush my teeth.

But it’s also the part that says, nah, I should just keep playing on my phone.

They’re both habits. The one you engage in more is the one that will probably end up happening without some effort and self discipline.

Making new habits when you have strong habits encouraging you to follow old routines is never easy and takes practice to get right, neurotypical or not.

treefrog,

well some of us moved on purpose

treefrog,

no idea. i have been seeing a lot of fascists lately maybe that was why.

treefrog,

i grow mushrooms outside and do some foraging.

if a mushroom is covered in bugs it’s probably edible. centipedes, fungus gnats, and slugs are all common on my outdoor beds.

there are a few edible fungi i don’t see bugs eat, like meatier varieties such as shiitake and saddle backs, but i have never seen bugs go after poisonous fungi

some bugs will eat psychedelic fungi just like some animals will. but there tends to be less predation with them.

treefrog,

i said probably and my point was made in the context of the meme. it wasn’t advice on safe foraging but an observation on how early humans may have made intelligent guesses before we had reliable guide books and the internet.

treefrog,

Worked in tech support for a satellite based Internet company that oversold its bandwidth on one of the satellites.

We told customers on that beam we were working on it. The actual solution was attrition. Eventually enough customers would quit that service would be better for those that remained.

treefrog,

There’s withdrawal but of the four drugs i have been physically addicted to (caffeine, weed, nicotine, and SSRIs) it’s the only one I can cold turkey in under a week and feel fine.

treefrog, (edited )

It’s both. Nicotine is also both. Note how people at AA still often smoke. And how much coffee they’ll pound even after dinner.

The only drug I misclassified is SSRIs. Which don’t trigger the dopamine reward system.

And my comment was in light of OP and common language usage. People say heroin addiction and they mean heroin dependency. It doesn’t help anyone to be pedantic about these two words. And I say that as someone who has taken college level classes on pharmacology and alcohol and drug dependence and is very aware of the technical differences used professionally.
