I couldn't sleep for the first few days because although my body was tired, my mind was expecting to watch some sort of carnal entertainment.
I also felt an uncomfortable rush of blood in my left temple everytime I wanted to indulge again, but that could be purely psychological, I don't know.
I was addicted to pornography. The way I knew was by trying to stop for at least a week, if I could accomplish that, then it wouldn't be a problem. I couldn't make it past one day.
I thought, maybe access was the issue - so I deleted my browsers, and within a day was reinstalling them just to watch porn.
I was watching during classes, and I would go late to events just so I could finish watching a particular scene, or explore a pornstar's catalogue.
It was only after confiding in somebody that I realised how deep I had sunk (watching and paying for snuff and gore), and it was extremely tough to come out of that.
I still get the urge when opening a browser to muscle memory type in a site, and it's constant vigilance and self-discipline that has held me at bay, but the pull has never went away.
There's a weird relationship between the worker and customer if one asks the other dance, and they acquiese, knowing that it will be fodder for short video entertainment.
Considering the ones who dance don't seem to be pressured into it (given that the majority ignore those requests) it's harmless, but I don't see the end goal, or upside. Maybe the virality will in some way bolster a future potential career? Maybe the dances are cathartic and a bonding experience between two humans who decided not to engage with each other physically?
I don't know, but the practical fact remains that they really should fix those mirrors, because that's a misdemeanour in my country, and who wants to get a misdemeanour during work hours.
I think Paternalism best describes the practice in this context. It is fairly annoying to not have options in most facets of software, and especially vexing that I can't own something I pay for wrt to subscriptions.
However, I'm fairly young and despite thinking that my fellow cohort would be "digital natives" and interested in controlling the preferences in their hard/software, the vast majority do not care.
If there is a step to change something for their stated benefit that requires more than a button press and some siping gestures, I've seen people just giving up and living with it. This is worrying to me, because that apathy will be the herald to something of far greater import in the years to come, whether that's politically, economically, or just a microcosm of society. And it does not bode well to me.
This is the first time I've seen someone argue for the preservation of bureaucracy - I think the idea that health are policy should be rational is inarguable, but I think we could use Lewin's Three step model to Change Management as a guide to far-reaching public policy.
Increase the collaborative nature of policymaking with constituents and there'd be less panic about mandating things, because the public will feel as if they had a say in it. I think there was a subtle dig at the current administration's non-patrimonialism, but if they use collaboration and public discussion as ways of formulating healthcare measures, then there wouldn't be need for strongman leadership to require mandates.
Of course, mandating isn't necessarily the best choice, especially at any federal level, and the introduction of that idea should be floated in public discourse.
