If a person experiences hyperarousal while playing video games, the brain associates the activity with dopamine. The person develops a strong drive to seek out that same pleasure again and again. Dopamine is a powerful neurotransmitter in the brain. Most people, upon being accused of entertainment addiction, become defensive. They insist they need to be online for work, that they are socializing with loved ones, or that spending time reading online is the same as curling up with a good book. This is no defense against the reality that entertainment addiction is very real, since addicts of all varieties routinely deny that they have a problem. Because it isn't a mind-altering substance, though, many people still have difficulty accepting the notion that it can affect the brain in ways similar to some drugs.A complex set of interlocking factors contribute to making the entertainment a powerful draw, especially for people who are already vulnerable to addiction. Dopamine is the brain's pleasure and motivation neurotransmitter. This powerful neurotransmitter is what motivates your to engage in pleasurable experiences, like spending time with loved ones or going on a shopping spree. It also plays a role in drug addiction, since many drugs stimulate dopamine production. For most addicts, it's the dopamine rush that keeps them going back to drugs even when the consequences are high. Entertainment feels rewarding. These rewards increase dopamine production, creating a vicious cycle that encourages users to keep accessing it to keep getting a "hit" of dopamine. There's close association between dopamine and addiction.

Nah. "these fucking Republicans mama." slight correction.

Law of attraction is real. A 100% real. I wish I could try it again. I stopped 2 years ago.

At least we get to know what happens to the human mind on dmt

I never watch porn. Porn is a dirty unfiltered obnoxious greedy version of sex.. It looks like filthy gratification to me. If I want to imagine sex, I imagine myself fully in love with my ex lover and them making out with me. It's so satisfying and purifying. Actually porn destroyed the beauty and Purity of sex and reduced it to some kind of a hellish robotic act of hedonistic fantasy. Gross. But real sex with a lover is a divine act of intimacy which I recently felt with my ex lover. It's so beautiful that you can never forget it. Real sex is divine, pure, child like, innocent. It's like eating ice cream together. There's a ton of love in sex that I felt and it's unforgettable. I think your real issue is that you never experienced true physical deep beautiful passionate intimacy. And substituted it early on with porn. I hope you do. What will heal you is deep intimacy and a positive guilt free understanding of pure sex. Lay off the porn and fall in love. Make love not porn.

That's actually cute. I guess people would have invented such methods in a strict culture. The real question is - where's the charisma?

Actually it was a joke between me and @Devinbecause before making that post @Devin had said "fuck you" to me so I responded like that. Haha.

This was a nice technique.

I get you. A girl shouldn't do that. Perfectly understand your position.

Yes yes yes yes yes yes yes. Bipolar psychosis can be easily misdiagnosed as bpd.

In a way, you have a point. May I ask you, what if the person not only looks in that direction but actually begins to follow and then touch their breasts? What will you say to that? Would you consider touching her breasts as harassment?

What kind of karma are you looking for?

They like to look cute I guess. And men like to stare.

INGREDIENTS LIST FOR THE CILANTRO LIME SHRIMP WITH ZUCCHINI NOODLES 1 lb (450g) shrimp, shelled and deveined 2 + 1 tablespoons olive oil 4 cloves garlic, minced 1 pinch red pepper flakes (optional) 1/4 cup vegetable broth 1 teaspoon honey (optional for low-carb, keto diet.) Juice of 1 1/2 lime 3 medium zucchini, spiralized or cut into noodles Salt and fresh cracked pepper to taste 1 teaspoon lime zest 2 tablespoons cilantro, chopped DIRECTIONS 1. In a bowl, combine 2 tablespoons olive oil, garlic, red pepper flakes, 1 tablespoon cilantro, honey, lime juice and lime zest. Add uncooked shrimp and toss to mix well. Marinate for 15 to 20 minutes. 2. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a pan over medium-high heat, add the drained shrimp, cook for 2 minutes, flip, and add the marinade.

Add the shrimp and adjust seasoning. Toss everything and serve immediately topped with additional cilantro. QUICK TIPS FOR MAKING GARLIC BUTTER SHRIMP: You can use shrimp with tails on or off. Buy shrimp (or prawns) already deveined, shelled and cleaned, your meal preparation will be much faster. Frozen shrimp is okay for this recipe, but fresh wild-caught shrimp tend to have better flavor. Cook the shrimp stirring frequently, until the shrimp is nice and pink and opaque. This will usually take2-4 minutes. This cilantro lime shrimp cooks fast over-cooked shrimp is rubbery, tough and not pleasant to eat at all. Fresh lime — Don’t go for the bottled stuff. use fresh lime juice for the Cilantro — substitute with fresh parsley or basil if you don’t like cilantro. Garlic — you could use garlic powder instead of garlic minced if you prefer Red pepper flakes — you could use chili powder instead of red pepper flakes if you don’t like a bit of heat, leave it out altogether. Or for more heat, add more. Honey — I love Honey in this. It balances out the acidity of the lime juice. optional for low-carb, keto diet. Lime zest — if you don’t like, leave it out altogether.

God's love is infinite. You won't see God even if he passed you by. You choose to look away when he is in front of you. You're stuck in projection mode. All the bad you do, projecting it on God absolves you of responsibility for following his command and that means creating good. By dismissing God, you want to cherish a worldview that your ego holds dear. Self deception 101.

For starters, don't open by saying anything sexually explicit, it doesn't get a good reception and for all the obvious reasons that don't warrant an explanation.

We need someone who talks like this. I'm too bored of PC. Leo is keeping it real..
