I used to. When I move I plan on getting animals, probably adopt old dogs or have smaller ones who don’t need as much walking OR just cats for now (or probably get a large dog and walk them an hour a day anyway lol what’s 13 hours instead of my usual daily 12 if I live close enough to work 🤔)

There’s tons of other things to do that’s better than this shit, you just have to remember that it’s there and force yourself to go do it.
I blacklisted the site on my router, worked like a charm. Am much happier without it!
