I found it very easy to install. They offer what’s called a “blacklist” and a “whitelist”, for completely blocking or allowing specific websites, and categories that could be allowed or blocked as well (e.g. News, Sports, Entertainment, etc.)
As for within YouTube, there are no customization options with the free version, only with the paid, premium version. You can allow or completely block the site.
In the spirit of Shovavim, I have been using the free version of Qustodio’s filter for some time now, and they seem to be a solid choice for Windows.
I’m beginning to notice that it’s hard to construct anything about any personality on the internet based on what they write. (Such as troll/not, smart/not, age, etc.)
If anything, trying too hard kind of messes with you. Too many possibilities. And often too hard to guess tone in plain writing.
I think that what MDG means is that, at the end of the day, the whole purpose of this political movement, with all its details and hangups, is to legitimatize certain immoral behaviors in society. Not that those details themselves are intrinsically immoral.

“There is no such thing as more bechira or less. It is a yes or no question.”“It may be harder for some people to choose right over wrong but that does not mean more or less bechira.”
To my understanding, bechira is the ability to choose between right and wrong, so this seems to be contradictory. Right and wrong might be different depending on a person’s level, but shouldn’t true bechira be an even pull in both directions?
To try answering the first question, maybe people realize that sometimes giving attention to those who crave it may create a pattern of emotional dependency where they keep coming back to you for more in desperation. Like that friend that always makes the joke and immediately looks at you to see your reaction. Not everyone enjoys that.
Similarly, many people may not want to even give a loan if the person will keep coming to borrow more.
