Oh and also, I have a filter called qustodio. Works well. 

Agreed. Works very well, easy to setup, and has a monitoring option so that someone else can see what's going on every time you try to access something you shouldn't. Recommended.

No pressure

Also, if you're interested there's a fascinating Rav Pincus in his sefer Tiferes Torah by parshas Vayakhel. He explains that Chazal speak about two yetzer hara's and how in our generation we only have the one which is our physical desires, meaning it's us. Really like you were saying.

Eyes, I think it does

Kavey, so what your saying is I was Mechaven to Rav Pincus? Nice.

I am not taking this too seriously because I took it too seriously for 10 years and it hasn't helped. So I will crack jokes and focus on why I am awesome and actually on my way to being an eved hashem.

Also just for a laugh:

“A moth goes into a podiatrist’s office, and the podiatrist’s office says, “What seems to be the problem, moth?”

The moth says “What’s the problem? Where do I begin, man? I go to work for Gregory Illinivich, and all day long I work. Honestly doc, I don’t even know what I’m doing anymore. I don’t even know if Gregory Illinivich knows. He only knows that he has power over me, and that seems to bring him happiness. But I don’t know, I wake up in a malaise, and I walk here and there… at night I…I sometimes wake up and I turn to some old lady in my bed that’s on my arm. A lady that I once loved, doc. I don’t know where to turn to. My youngest, Alexendria, she fell in the…in the cold of last year. The cold took her down, as it did many of us. And my other boy, and this is the hardest pill to swallow, doc. My other boy, Gregarro Ivinalititavitch… I no longer love him. As much as it pains me to say, when I look in his eyes, all I see is the same cowardice that I… that I catch when I take a glimpse of my own face in the mirror. If only I wasn’t such a coward, then perhaps…perhaps I could bring myself to reach over to that cocked and loaded gun that lays on the bedside behind me and end this hellish facade once and for all…Doc, sometimes I feel like a spider, even though I’m a moth, just barely hanging on to my web with an everlasting fire underneath me. I’m not feeling good. And so the doctor says, “Moth, man, you’re troubled. But you should be seeing a psychiatrist. Why on earth did you come here?”

And the moth says, “‘Cause the light was on.”

I was using qustodio, sort of still am, but I find it very erratic with what it does and doesnt block, and to a lesser extent what it reports. it's positive becuase I'm afraid to go to any site I might have to explain, but it also wont necessarily block everything. Thouhg I haven't tested it out, thanks to the reporting

I am going to post a song I have been listening to which I have found is really soothing.

It does have kol isha so I will only post the music not the video and it is in Danish so the words might sound like gibberish.

Ok cannot post the link, its called anoana by heilung.

Yea it is not perfect. but none are tbh.

You just need the one which works for you,

Re: Stress and frustrations 18 Aug 2022 17:33 #384878

Just curious, are you guys using the free version of qustodio or the paid one? I don't know if it the paid one would be better in terms of the software behaving erratic or not, but I'd like to look into it because I might add it to my signature. Also are you guys using webchaver on top of it, and is it through the free method without the filtering or with webchaver filtering?

they fix many loopholes that exist with paid filters (speaking from firsthand
experience) and because they add priceless accountability features.
