Hey /sci/, how can you reverse damage from internet addiction, I'm a brainlet and need your advice.
I don't think I can quit the internet completely but If I implement a day in a week were I absolutely cut out electronics and do things like reading, playing guitar, exercising or masturbating will that possibly aid me in my recovery?
I was also wondering, does meditation reverse the damage of this?

I just got internet access again after moving and I think you're creating most of these problems yourself, or at least trying to find some excuse for why you don't feel as smart as you should feel. The internet is just a way to deliver content and information, it is completely up to you if you're going to to use it to your benefit or detriment. Setting a specific time where you have to turn your computer off won't make any difference in my opinion. Reading, music production and masturbating are all things that exist with and without it, exercise maybe not but again I think you're either motivated to do that or you're not and unplugging your computer an hour a week won't really make a difference..
I think also you have no idea what actual "damage" is like lol
>>
can someone give me a non shitposting answer please

You type like a fag and youre shits all retarded bro!
The internet doesn't 'damage us', ya goon, it does make us complacent and happy to be contained in dividual reality cells.
On the other hand, following the 'inverse square law', exposure to many wireless modems will slowly fry your brain.

My mother has been scammed by a Nigerian spammer posing as an American real estate agent. This has been happening for around 3 months and she is convinced they are in love. She's given him around 2000$ through iTunes cards and around 1500 through western union.
That fucker is crafty and my mother is an idiot so she has followed his instructions and deleted messages containing bank details etc. However i found one screenshot he took for him to receive money from western union and it is a Nigerian name and address. What I want to do is track that motherfucker and get him caught so he won't be able to do the same thing to other people.
Is this possible? I'm an Ausfag so apart from reporting to ACORN what can I do to get the police involved?

meds are absolute last resort for when the problem is severe. they throw everything out of whack, there's side effects to contend with, and the lasting effects even once you've stopped taking them can take weeks/months/years to sort. but pharmaceuticals are yuge money makers and integrity kinda sorta stopped being a thing in medicine decades ago, so pills get handed out like m&ms now and we all go along pretending or convinced that that's the only way. whoo.

Been together for 2 years.It's almost perfect except:
>in every argue we have she adds the 'maybe we should break up
>if my opinion is different 'maybe we should break up'
>if she askes me something where she knows she's wrong i get the 'maybe we should split'
She will never split from me, I'm sure of it. She's at the point where is more than in love with me; she sees us and wants us toghether, married and one day have a family. I'm basically everything she wants.
What's the reason behind all of this? She won't do it (we both know it), yet she's trying to use this as a weapon every time. Is it because of her ego?self esteem?affraid she will be dumped?

well what do you expect? psychological advice from people on 4chan lol.
ye she is scared and pushes it to emotional levels. talk to her and ask her why she threatens you all the time, tell her how you feel with it. try to let her explain her position. then try to both see that different opinions are _ok_. opinions are not the commitment and love you both put into each other. a relationship means to cope as a team, even different opinions and by those based actions are fine. you might not like a move your SO does, but still the person is who you commit for. try to talk about arguments after things are clear again, in a neutral mode -- obviously tend to yourself being in a wrong position because women lol.
being in a relationship and love doesnt mean you blindly understand each other especially about emotions. it needs explanation and exploration, both of your need to explore your own emotional world to understand each other, so do it together.
>>
>>18603491
thats a really unhealthy relationship behavior that she's doing. It sounds like an abuse tactic or something to get her way/what she wants
you gotta start communicating with her and both be ok with disagreeing, arguin, etc. (not saying you aren't op but it sound like she is at least) The point of a relationship is to be in each others corner and support and try to understand each other, not to force the other one into what you want from them
>>
>>18603517
it is unhealthy. it looks like an abuse aswell. i just wanna help her stop using it and accept different opinions.
One thing is for sure..i can;t say 'Ok, let's breakup, because i don't like that colour now that you've asked me'. It;s plain stupid. and if I play along and split from her it will destroy her to the point she will never be able to have a relation after me

Every time I get rejected by girls I feel blue as hell and try to self improve to cheer myself up.
This cycle has made me lose 40lbs, return to university, give up MMO's and return to my sporting hobbies.
I was talking to a girl, we met and - despite significant date rust on my part - we made out a couple times before the night was over.
As I revealed more and more of my sense of humor (think Curb Your Enthusiasm, Million Dollar Extreme and generally controversial, edgy and often times political) her interest waned. All it took was one stark reveal of it, my instagram name, and now she's simply stopped responding.
I really liked her and I do understand my humor is cynical and offensive to most...
But it feels like, to get the girls I want, I'll need to become a fit and successful husk of my former self.
The pepe is only mildly representative of my humor. Mildly.

I think the real question is: why is everyone after Trump?
He was elected President. Let him do his job until the next election.

Because he's counter culture. He's politically incorrect, and flusters the jimmies of the new industry, the tech industry, and the college industry, which, up to this point (and, looking at the Google memo, arguably still today) has a stranglehold on culture, and are about as tolerant of different opinions as the Puritans.

How to avoid mind break after extended psyops/gangstalking campaign targeted at civilian
I'm hoping there are some people from the military here who know about this. Or maybe some people know of some good resources.
So this is going to sound crazy but my parents have been trying ineffectively to drop me into a psyche ward for a long time to get rid of me. Recently they made some friends in the mental health industry and with possible military connections. These guys started a campaign of real heavy shit which I will begin to describe here.
First it was soft approach, they scoped out my running route and had people from a local swimming pool pop up here and there and hiss at me randomly and stuff like that. They began to spread rumors about me so that when I went to my local hairdresser I got a very negative reaction from the girls there, which was when I started to feel that the community was turning against me. This may sound too insane but unbeknownst to me they had installed actual spy cameras in my room, bathroom etc., I suppose with my parents permission and were watching me pretty much 24 hours a day. Now, at the time I had no knowledge of mental health topics and I was taken to my GP with anxiety and immediately the GP declared that I had acute psychosis. That was the beginning of my first traumatizing stay in the psyche ward where they kept me awake intentionally by playing weird birdcall sounds. Nobody explained anything to me, they just intended to keep me there forever. I believe the intention was to diagnose me with schizophrenia. I had a brain scan as well which exhibited (or so they say) strange results. The psychiatrist had been paid off or otherwise convinced that I was to be locked up. After calling in a MH advocate I ended up speaking to the Chief psychiatrist and he sent me home pretty quickly. At this point I had some visits to psychiatrists and my parents began gaslighting me with tactics like jangling keys, leaving doors open etc.
Cont.

Dude, you are probably crazy. Just read your story. Anyways suppose you are crazy, then you need to test yourself so that you know you're sane. Schizophrenia has other symptoms like disorganization and social withdrawal. You can use the other symptoms to determine whether or not yoy have schizophrenia. Anyways, you can never take youe own sanity for granted. You have to make sure. Maybe these people care about you a lot and then your brain invents all these terrible ideas and hallucinations and stuff. Something to consider.
>>
Would you believe anything I say unless I told you exactly what you want to hear? Because to me you seem highly* paranoid and need the help, but I somehow doubt you're going to take what I say seriously.
I wish you luck. You're probably not a bad person and deserve some peace from whatever you're going through, hopefully you'll make good amends sooner than later.

I KNOW I would be an asset to any company that hired me, but I can't even get an audience with a hiring manager. I've been lurking r/cscareerquestions and it seems like even those with a degree and multiple projects and internship experience have a hard time getting a foot in the door. What jobs should I be looking at? Data entry? How boned am I?

My girlfriend asked me a sort of odd question. Could a man, that she slept with once drunkenly over 10 years ago, 5 years before I even met her, stay at my house on his way to travel across the country?
She keeps a open communication with this guy, texting about their common job (same company) crap. I don't care, I feel zero competition.
She's told me the sex was a one time thing, small dick, and it was bad sex, would never happen again.
What do I tell her? No, he can't stay and feel like I show jealousy for this nobody. Or do I say yes and feel like a cuck and awkward as fuck when he is here?
The answer should be the one that helps my relationship the most.

...why would she tell you about sleeping with him?
>>
Say no and explain why
>>
If you don't want him there, that's your answer. But I'd consider the full reason before you explain it to her, otherwise you will seem petty and jealous. If you decide to let him stay in the end, you need to make your rules about it very clear and thought out well. Either way just be open with her before one of you feels hurt enough that it causes problems.

How do I go about letting my step brother know I wanna fuck him on the DL? I've wanted to for awhile now but I forgot about it because I figured it was bad idea, but now I literally can't stop thinking about it.
We don't live together or anything. We're both adults. Though another problem is, he very very recently got a girlfriend and I don't want to sound rude but...I am unquestionably more attractive. Sorry, I hope that statement doesn't make anyone feel biased toward me but I'm just being honest. I get the feeling he's just trying to get his dick wet, so how do I let him know he can with me?
I'm also afraid of him flat out rejecting me, making things awkward from there on out but I can't imagine him wanting to fuck her and not me. Again, not to sound full of myself but my face is undeniably more attractive, I'm more in shape and she has baggage that I don't have...It's a very new relationship so I know they are not in love. But I feel like I have a lot of chemistry with him. I'm not trying to be with him, I just think it would be really hot to not label anything and just dick around under our family's noses.
I feel like the worst that could happen is they expected it because they're always talking about how he and I are good looking. Besides that, him rejecting me of course. So how do I go about this or should I even act on it at all? I've ignored it in the past but it's getting to the point I think about it daily. What do?

Every single time I check out a hot lady they always look away, so I shrug it off but then feel their eyes on me until I look back, and they keep ignoring me. I am really not interested in playing games but like meeting new people. I am borderline and spend most of my time alone. Can anyone help shed some light on what's happening here

I don't stare, I usually catch eyes but when they look away I assume they aren't interested, but when I feel them staring at me after sometimes I get the feeling they expected me to approach them but I don't understand that

if he wanted it to just be the two of them, he would have invited only her. more context would help, but its disneyland they dont need to get away and hide. just make sure they get to sit next to each other on every ride, and maybe let them go in the romantic / cute ones alone
