That Memory Is In The Past, I'm In The Present. I Made It Through.

Since I received quite a few comments under this post, I wanted to explain my point a bit more clearly.

Over the last few months, I’ve been searching more and more intensely for my “endgame” mouse. Because of that, I found myself constantly switching between my mouse and countless other models on a daily basis. Eventually, I decided to simplify things: pick one main mouse and one main mousepad, and stick with them for the foreseeable future.

I ended up choosing the Razer Viper V4 Pro and the Artisan Zero. Not because I believe they are objectively the best products on the market, but simply because I looked at what many professional Valorant players are using. A large portion of the scene trusts this combination, so it’s unlikely to hold me back.

And that’s exactly the point I’m trying to make.

With my current mindset, a mouse and mousepad setup doesn’t need to be 100% perfectly tailored to a specific person. As long as the shape generally fits your hand, matches your basic preferences, and the technology is reasonably up to date, you’ll be able to perform at 99.9% of your potential. At that point, constantly chasing the next piece of gear is unlikely to make a meaningful difference.

The peripheral hobby itself is still something I enjoy, and I’ll continue following the scene and keeping up with new releases. The only thing that’s changing is that I’m no longer going to chase every new mouse in search of the perfect endgame setup, hoping that it will somehow make me a better player. The improvement I’m looking for won’t come from swapping hardware every day, it will come from actually using what I have and putting in the time to improve.

Scientists shut off the dopamine in some rats and they stopped eating. Food everywhere. They starved in a full cage, not because they hated it. Put sugar on their tongue and they licked their lips. They still liked it. They just lost the drive to go get it.

This is one of the strangest things we know about the brain, and it traces back to a researcher named Kent Berridge at the University of Michigan. Your head runs two different systems. One is wanting, the push that gets you off the couch and moving. The other is liking, the good feeling once you are in it. Dopamine runs the wanting. The enjoyment runs on separate wiring. So you can be sure you will love something and still feel almost no pull to start it.

That is the man in the cartoon, swinging at rock with diamonds all around him. He could see the good stuff. He just could not make himself dig toward it.

Once you see why, the usual story about procrastination stops making sense. We say lazy, or bad with time. Mostly, it is neither. Two psychologists, Fuschia Sirois and Tim Pychyl, argued back in 2013 that it runs on emotion. A task makes you feel something you would rather not feel, even just the small dread of starting, and putting it off makes that feeling vanish on the spot. So you scroll, or you suddenly need to clean the kitchen. Dodging the task is a quick hit of relief, and your brain grabs it. The bill goes straight to future-you, who is left holding the guilt and the deadline.

You can even see it on a brain scan. In 2018, a team in Germany scanned 264 people and matched the scans against how much each person put things off. The big procrastinators had a larger amygdala, the little alarm bell deep in the brain that flags anything risky. They also had a weaker link to the part meant to quiet that alarm and get you moving, a region called the dorsal anterior cingulate cortex. Loud alarm, weak off-switch.

And if this is you, you have plenty of company. A big 2007 review found that 80 to 95 percent of college students procrastinate, that roughly one in five adults does it long-term, and that more than 95 percent of them wish they could quit. Students alone burn about a third of their day on it.

The fix falls out of that same split. If wanting and liking are two different systems, then waiting to "feel like it" is waiting for a bus that may never come. The main treatment for the severe version, called behavioral activation, flips the order. You start first, as small as you can stand, before any motivation shows up. The wanting tends to arrive a few minutes after you begin. The diamonds were there the whole time. You just have to swing the pick before you feel ready.

I want you to take a wild guess on why this show was cancelled

[LLK. @LongLiveKorra]

As a person that has named their entire online persona over an avatar character for the love of the show…

It’s not that deep…

making her actually say “there is no war in ba sing se” completely goes against her character. these writers are actually fucking stupid.
