Also known as the Chocolate Rule. Or the [insert whatever snack that relaxes you here] Rule.

Basically, when you get pissed off on the Internet, you step away and have ice-cream. Or chocolate. Or whatever snack it is that relaxes you. When you're more relaxed, THEN see if you care enough to respond. Don't post when blindly pissed off.

Grrr. University kids.

No snacks. {=/ Dependency on "comfort foods," turning to fattening snacks for emotional solace, may lead to emotional dependency and contributes to today's dangerous obesity rate. It's a sensitive issue to me, having been raised by morbidly obese parents who smother their depression in food.

Choose a creative outlet, call a friend, write an angry LJ entry, indulge in a guilty fandom pleasure but let your mind be your comfort, not the calories.


I couldn't agree more about waiting until you're relaxed to respond when angry, though.

At basic, that's what the ice-cream rule is - just stepping away from the computer.

That, and let's admit it, ice-cream is more worth the effort than replying to something stupid on the internet!

I wish food could chill me out like that.

Strangely when I am depressive, I don't go for comfort food bingeing. I just lie on my bed staring at the flourescent lamp for hours.

But what do you do when you get pissed off at something on the Internet?
