You’re a lot more likely to get a conversation here, or at least have someone read what you write.

It’s like Reddit was before everything was so huge. Whatever you say there gets buried before you even have a chance to have any kind of discussion.

And I’ll tell you something else amazing that has happened for me.

It’s like dropping Reddit cold turkey has changed something in my brain. I’m dropping a ton of bad habits like it’s nothing. I was a chain smoker this time last month. Recently I smoked two and a half packs in one day and I was really upset with myself. I said, “no more.” and I’m down to 4-8 cigarettes a day. It’s like it made me realize that I have control over myself.

I’m gonna try to go this whole day here at work without a cigarette. At this rate I will have quit completely in no time.
