    Oh, government email domain would scare anyone off. It’s as bad as a “fbi.com” address. I doubt the permission is really there as the post says, what I have seen is the contrary. Anyway, try with a regular email address. If you want, as background story, say you’re a student in a third-world country. That’s how I lived before Sci-Hub (via VPN) and it worked out most of the time (e.g. ~75% success rate).










  • Great for you. To me is not so much a matter as to how much time but the timing. After all, you could as well be reading the most elevated book saga. On the contrary, there’s the addiction of doomscrolling… I have seen friends scrolling posts on social media even while on a pizza night surrounded by others. Or trying to have chat conversations with potential dating partners instead of an actual phone call. That’s the kind of thing I believe is troublesome, the lack of “here and now” awareness. And something similar goes to the constant checking. For example, if you or anyone uses their phone 4 hours in total, I’d say it’s better if that’s on bigger chunks than if it’s just a millon of small distractions throughout the day hindering many other activities.
