Have you ever contemplated that the "racist, xenophobic and homophobic" behaviour is what is keeping those communities and used to keep other communities homogenous and thereby ensured high-trust? In that case the xenophobia acts like the immune system but for a community/society.

>some field with a combination of rewarding work and 'enough' pay seems sensible enough.

What makes you believe those jobs will still exist or will be available to you competing against massess of other now unemployed software devs? Overabundance of desperate workers will depress wages.

How are you preventing the service being used to terrorize people by impersonating them and ordering knocks at 5am?

The more important question appears to be why it seems to difficult to follow the advice?

Personally, I'm well aware of the positive effects of drinking plenty of water, eating vegetables, exercising daily, and going to bed early. However, I buy myself a chocolate bar every day, love pizza, just want to unwind after a hard day at work, and still read Reddit late into the night.

All the healthy stuff has friction: a workout takes time out of the day, the veggies need preparation, while going to bed early means I'm missing out on fun or intriguing things that I would learn about otherwise.

This is a very good point that I haven't even heard made by proponents of this idea before. Thanks!

As a Reddit user I'm using this simple replace function to switch to the old.reddit.com version of a page:

javascript:(function(){ if (location.hostname === "www.reddit.com") { location.href = location.href.replace("www.reddit.com", "old.reddit.com"); }})();

Necessary due to Google search results on Reddit leading to the new.reddit.com version of a page which demands a login more often than not.

Most likely. For me personally, the ADHD medication hasn't helped, and after missing two appointments in a row, I'm now too embarrassed to call the doctor and get a new prescription.

>I've tried this and the temptation to remove the block is too much.

Or circumvent it. I used a blocking plugin, until I've learned it does not affect other/new browser profiles. Some other low-level solutions I've tried could be bypassed Tor mode inside Brave browser. It seems like my brain just doesn't want to focus on the damn work, but rather on how to get that dopamine hit the easy way.

Although I enjoyed reading her book and found most of the information plausible, I always found it strange that the author herself seems so uncharismatic, especially given her claim that charisma can be learned.

The same goes for Robert Greene, author of "The 48 Laws of Power," "The Art of Seduction," and several other books. I've watched a few interviews with him, and he strikes me as completely unremarkable, uncharismatic, and rather unconvincing, which makes me doubt the validity of his books' promises.

That wasn't very helpful...

I'd assume it's somewhat easier this way than building a net-worth of €830k through working long hours for decades.

It's not an uncommon expression on managing generational wealth. I've frequently encountered it as:

"The first generation makes it, the second generation spends it, and the third generation blows it."
