Why do tasks I enjoy sometimes feel coated in teflon?

[crantz]

I need to read this paper for class, it's something I'm interested in, and I keep bouncing off it. Poing. Poing.

I'm only on page 3!

The same thing has been happening with comics - I have so much in progress (including a Deadman collection where he might sell Satan to aliens?) but I can't seem to sit down and turn the pages.

Also be careful what you click on in horrified fascination on comixology, it can't tell what you actually buy and the morbid fascination clicks apart for its recommendations so I keep seeing heinous comics each time I open up the front page. I don't know what a waifu is and I don't want one.

I already ate my brownies so I can't bribe myself with brownies to finish this paper. I am my own worst (brownie-filled) enemy.

Maybe... an episode of Midsomer? Can I have little a murder as a treat?

You are correct in not researching "waifu" and you can probably insta-block people who use the term un-ironically without any substantial social loss.

Oh dear.

That was more of a comment on the types of comics comixology, a digital comic retailer and subsidary of amazon, was recommending me.

Indeed. The Algorithm is known for its good taste and discernment...

(I have spent a good chunk of the last hour improving the quality of my Twitter by blocking certain dudes arguing against a costume going "but she not hot she no tits" and it has made me more cynical than usual.)

There needs to be a 'no, I looked at that out of morbid curiosity' option.

Ahh, twitter blocking. I can't quite recall what it was that I looked at the replies to but I think they were escapees from the Daily Mail.
