Porn addiction is your body's attempt at saying IT'S STUCK IN THE ANIMAL (LIMBIC BRAIN)
When you are stuck in the limbic brain & you have excessive amygdala activity due to 3 reasons:
- poor posture for 90-95% of the day because this can cause improper brain drainage and circulation
- hyperventilation
- chronic stress
The voice in your head increases and pre-frontal cortex activity decreases so you get thoughts like "just one more look" etc and you become more impulsive and less reactive
The solution is to decrease amygdala activity and increase pre-frontal cortex activity so you become more logical and less animalistic/impulsive because the pre-frontal cortex exerts inhibitory control over the amygdala
You can do this by reducing stress, taking supplements, posture exercises, slowing down the breathing pattern
I hope this gave you a better picture of your porn addictions and how you can overcome it once and for all.

84% of chronic fatigue patients improved with an anti-candida protocol.
These fungi can:
◇ Drive chronic inflammation
◇ Suppress the immune system, increasing pathogenic load
Contributing to fatigue pathology.
One doctor reported that 84% of her patients had a positive response to antifungal therapy - and nearly all were off disability in a few years.

omfg @buildyourcorner has been charting in spain for months but we could NOT figure out why users couldn't access the app intermittently. even did 50 user cold calls and they kept saying they couldn't use the app at night which was annoying bc the whole use case is where to go out
turns out la liga (spanish football league) has a court order letting them block cloudflare IPs during all match times to stop pirated streams aka ~360 matches × 2.5h per match ≈ 900 hours where corner is blocked
i cannot believe lol

we actually built corner entirely to avoid lines. (1) so you know where the hot places are *before* they have lines and (2) to find alternatives to place that already have lines.
shoutout to @chubbyapples for the sick onboarding video
If you want to build a great onboarding for your app.
Check out how @elizalian & @jakexia27 did it for Corner 👇
Onboarding:
- Killer intro video with music
- Asks for a review right after the video ends
- Builds your profile based on your tastes
- Showcases cool places
- Generates a personalized map
If you want to succeed, you need to create an experience, not just onboarding.
Start building yours today with Anything
the first time we met @elizalian said "I want to build an app to help people get off their phone". I felt that in my soul. and here we are.
the only computer I had growing up was an iPad and I dreamed of being on the appstore one day. and here we are.
small win but I am so proud of our whole team <3
1.86m apps on the U.S. app store. only 365 app of the day's a year.
@buildyourcorner is the first app @jakexia27 and i ever built and we will die on this hill:
we are the first generation to have *more of other people's memories* than our own. take a second to think about that.
when our users are 90, we want them to look back on their corner profiles and remember all of the adventures they've been on and how much of the world they explored. not how much they scrolled.
a small win for the team today. winning apple's design award has always been one of our side quests. one step closer!

we’d rather execute than talk but we were told to post more:
last summer when IPAM lost federal funding mid-cycle, we flew to LA and moved $ same-day so they could make payroll
it isn’t a billion dollars but enough to keep Terence Tao’s team going until the system caught up

there's so much performative vibe coded agent slop. anyone can vibe code an agent but wrangling it to really work for you is the hard part. super excited for @kevinyang to help people actually get shit done!!!
We raised $6.5M to build the agent for professionals.
When your reputation is on the line, you need an agent that's reliable, secure, and one step ahead.
