I don't have this relationship with porn but have been addicted to other things. I have found some success in this method:
I tell myself "ok, I can do bad habit in three hours, and I promise myself I won't feel bad if I do." and then in three hours, if I can, I just tell myself the same thing over again, and put it off for three more hours. If I buckle, I don't kick the shit out of myself, and I've found that I can make it a whole day if I bargain with myself based on time. If I'm going to do bad habit in three hours, I can think about other things until the three hours is up. And no matter what, setting a small goal (just three measly hours, what's that to me if I can do bad habit as much as I want when it's done?) and accomplishing it gives me a different form of reward.
Idk, it doesn't always work, but when I was trying to fast for health/personal care it really helped me not eat until my "shift" was up.
It doesn't have to be three hours, it could be 30 minutes, or "when I'm done doing other activity" or something similar. Small goals that are possible to attain.
Scramble some eggs plain and mix into rice and some canned corn. Butter + Sriracha + soy/tamari . We call it "bachelor stir-fry" and it's especially good if you can get your paws on some sesame oil!
I know it's me just being a particular asshole, but I really don't like the pronunciation data... it's honestly tiresome, problematic, and outdated. It's pronounced DATA.
I bought a tabletop ice maker from Costco for $80 three years ago, and have never ever regretted it. It doesn't pull a lot of power and works pretty fast.
The downside is cleaning it, it's cheap so you can't easily break it down and rebuild it, so you've got to get creative.
Edit: I see you said "nugget" now, (which I don't exactly know what that means), but these ice pieces are not rock hard like refrigerator ice, fwiw.
I'm taking a big risk after experiencing your last post, but... I actually really loved Prometheus. Alien is in my top 5 movies list, but I still enjoyed it.
I'm about 75% through The Ritual by Adam Nevill. It is also a movie. I really enjoy how he writes his characters, and the book is legitimately scary and creepy. I have to set it down sometimes.
On the scary/creepy note, another amazing book and movie is Birdbox by Josh Malerman. That book legitimately terrified me.
It's about a pig on a small farm that can seep into your mind and make you do and see terrible things. I picked it up after reading Bird Box and a few other books of his, which I enjoyed. I expected to give up on it based on the silly 80s horror movie premise, but the book is truly demented and creepy and I felt existentially weird after reading it
