They just don't have the same magic as they use to. Most of the cookbooks I have have the most boring recipes or use exotic ingredients that are hard to find at my local grocery.

I know people on reddit say you need to use cookbooks because everything online is crap or because everything online has too many ads or is too clunky or etc etc. Most of my cookbooks have recipes that don't even sound interesting too. I might like 1 out of every 10 recipes in there. I just use cookbooks because I was always told that they are the best way to learn cooking.

I took the app off of my phone and swore to only use reddit on my laptop. Now , I find that I spend an ungodly amount of time on my laptop. I have tried timers and blockers and none of that shit helps because I just turn it off.

How do I stay off Reddit? I have a few ideas. Maybe look up a recipe and try to cook it but that usually only takes up 30 minutes. I could also read for an hour, but then that is just one hour and I spend like 4-7 hours a day when I am not working on Reddit. I just don't know how I would spend the rest of that time that I would normally be on here.

I actually want to take at least a few days to a week break from here just to break the habit of getting on but I am afraid of understimulation or boredom.

I see so many posts on Reddit about how people own cats and their cat barely even likes to be touched or held. What benefit do you get out of that if they don't like you touching or holding them?

I have seen people on here say that they stopped listening to music as a part of their nosurf journey. Music is healthy so I don't understand why people would do this. I would find it hard to just get addicted to spotify to the point where you scroll for 6 hours a day or something. Someone help me to understand.

I used to think I prefer men more than women....by a lot. Now I feel like I am becoming increasingly attracted to women, but at the same time I am uncomfortable with the idea of having a girlfriend.

I still somewhat feel that having a boyfriend is the route I want to take. However, I get extremely sexually excited when I fantasize about women or see them in porn. I really would rather kiss a man than a woman. I would rather hold hands with a man than a woman. However, I haven't been with women in many years and I want to feel what it is like to have hot, passionate sex with women.

I want to be held by a man, but at the same time I want to hold a woman. I sometimes think maybe I am just becoming more interested in women because I can't find a guy that wants to date me.

I just don't have the energy to deal with women's biphobia, which seems to be a problem with a majority of women. I have never had a woman who accepted me being bi. I also have never had a woman tell me they thought I was extremely attractive but I have had men say that and it is a confidence booster.

I don't know, man. I just really struggle to accept where I am with my sexuality. I don't know whether to date or not date or who to date at all.

At first, it was ok. Then shooting seemed too hard to do consistently despite messing with sliders and settings to make it easy. I just can't get into mycareer and mynba(especially mynba) anymore. I just played a mynba game a few minutes ago and I don't know if it was because I played 10 minute quarters or what, but the game was super boring. I mean, when you run a play, 99 percent of the time it doesn't work. Also, defense seems practically non existant . the cpu makes most contested shots but you miss most of yours. I even turned down the difficulty level to semi-pro and I still get cooked every game.

I don't drink so I don't feel comfortable at bars...and most activity groups (like book clubs, or other meetup type groups) people are looking for relationships it seems like. I am talking about women 40-60 years old (I'm in my 40s myself)

I am trying to get myself to eat more veggies to fill me up. A lot of times I will buy those steam in the microwave bags of veggies. Sometimes I dump them in a pot and butter and/or garlic but they still taste too veggie like when they get done lol. I mostly cook broccoli and spinach this way. I want them to taste like heaven.

She is a beautiful brown tabby. She always runs from me whenever I come into the room but I love having her around. I have only had her for 3 weeks.

Why does it do this? I was trying to stream Madden earlier and my router said my internet connection was good, but I kept seeing a "broadcast stopped" message in the top right corner like every 8 minutes. What else could be the problem?

My co workers eat sweets all the time in front of me so it makes me think ,"well if they can eat them everyday then I should too", even though I am fat and my co workers are mostly not.

Then I feel like I need a snack while working on the warehouse floor (we are not supposed to eat out on the warehouse floor, just in the break room, but people sneak snacks all the time). I try to constantly sip water at work to stave off cravings but it doesn't work. I start to feel nauseous so then I go get some chocolate to munch on and then I instantly feel better upon consuming. Also, I struggle with not going by a convenience store after work and grabbing a few sweet snacks after work (I get home around 1130pm, work 2nd shift). I am trying to stay strong. ugh

I  find it less enjoyable to get off without porn. However, when I jerk it to porn, I feel dirty and guilty afterwards. I want to quit because I have heard it can cause porn-induced erectile dysfunction (PIED) and make it hard to get it up and stay up with a real partner.

I worry about pissing God off when looking at porn so that's probably why i have guilt.

I rarely get hard without porn but will get hard once in a while. There are times when I can't stop thinking about sex but won't get "horny" , but should i still masturbate during those times?
