I could have sworn I heard something once about how fast food chains put addictive chemicals in their food. For me, I don't have an addictive personality. There's nothing in my life I feel addicted to other than fast food. It's weird. I know the food is dogshit and I can make tastier stuff at home. But I also think about getting fast food all the time and have to stop myself from ordering it a lot. It does kind feel like a dopamine hit when I open up a bag of fast food and start digging in.

    What is the difference between addiction and enjoying something? Can you be addicted to video games, sex, movies, gambling, music, internet, not being cold, sparkling water, porn, rock climbing, a web forum?

        that’s default

        Come visit me in Russia some time!

        But seriously, I remember reading discussion about whether video games can be an addiction and there was an attempt to define addiction as something more specific than that.
