Why, if I might ask...
I live in the US of A.... look around. #edit it's the only form of protest I can think of that might actually affect things, or at least my involvement.

Wait, that's apathy. Don't you think being selective about where you contribute is the right way to go? (I understand the idea of avoiding the "intelligence in the service of madness" trap but there's still a lot of good in the world.)

I disagree. I quit smoking easily last year on January 1st. I decided to quit a month prior to Christmas, but I was afraid of the jolliness of the season making me slip. I assume it is the same for exercise, portion control, and alcohol consumption moderation. Sometimes it is nice to have a clean break in a month where nobody bothers you and where you haven't had a routine for a couple of weeks. Although I really wis…
Care to give pointers/mindset/whatever helped, for quitting smoking?
Smoke two packs of Marlboro reds in a 1 hour timespan.
Yep that should do it.

#37As a first instance: I will stop using Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator and switch totally to Pixelmator and Sketch.
Second: relay more on data when meetings. This year I had a successful couple of meetings with destroying data so business men couldn't deny the facts and stopped the opinionated stuff. I will try to do it next year as a standard.

Honestly it was when someone (the CEO of 500px, actually) told me that quitting smoking was easy. You feel weird for the first two days and after that its only a 5 min period here or there that gets you tempted.
He was totally, 100% right. At least for me. It was a mindset change from something being impossibly hard to something being temporary and really pretty easy. During the first two days I had an inhaler that I used a total of 3 times splitting 1.5 cigarettes worth of nicotine then I just put it down and didn't come back.

Yes, it would be much more comfortable to continue riding inside the machine that tramples others than to be the others. Perhaps the divide is how you see of our current global actions. Truly sinister, or just the actions of a jumbled congress/governing system.
