No, they made it to 3 trillion with cables, overpriced PCs, overpriced notebooks, overpriced Phones, overpriced watches, and locking software of all these so the easiest way to use different devices together, is to use another apple product.

Oh, and cultivating a fan base of people who uncritically buy anything they make with the notion that it's "better than anything else" when in reality that could not be further from the truth.

Communists != tankies

Real communists and socialist care about human rights, and dislike brutal, totalrian regimes like ruzzia, China and north korea.

Tankies (and presumably, you) are free to move to those countries to be disappeared once you speak against the regime you so dearly love :3 <3

I did and it usually takes way more than jusf self control to quit it. Some people are just built different.

What I was trying to show by mentioning withdrawal symptoms that masturbation does not change physicochemical make up. All it does is release dopamine (hell, not even masturbation, the orgasm itself), and its not the only activity that does that. Eating, sports, donating, receiving compliments... all of those give you dopamine.

Actual addictions change you inside, sometimes severely enough that you need professional help.

I just don't think its useful to call both of these an addicion, given how different in nature they both are. I think there should be a difference between an addiction and a habit. But thats just my opinion and I don't force anyone to agree with it

I never said self-control itself is easy, giving up watching porn once you have it, is.

You don't have withdrawal symptoms from not jacking off unless you count craving to masturbate as one. The craving is felt by literary anyone who gets horny.

Drugs, on the other hand, can have very severe withdrawal symptoms that require the person to seek help and cure his addiction.

Not to mention, you get dopamine from many things. If we treat all of them as severely as actual addictions, the word itself just loses all its meaning.

You will not have withdrawal effects from not jacking off. Urge to do it is not a withdrawal effect and can be overcome with self-control. With actual withdrawal symptoms, they can be extremely severe in some cases, even deadly. If you are addicted to drugs, you need to seek psychological help to overcome it, not with porn addiction

True. There is no chemical part of porn itself to make it "addictive." Orgasm just releases dopamine that feels good.

If you are addicted to meth, it's not easy to give it up because you are chemically addicted to it.

If you are "addicted" to porn, it's moderately easy to give up, if you have self control

If they actually cared they would donate a dollar of each order they get to charity, that would be houndreds of thousands if not a million per month

I love it when McDonalds does this shit

Like, bruh, how about you take money from my order and give that to charity instead?
