There are many ways to share contact details. One is to use an app provided mechanism, which can ask confirmation about sending and receiving contacts. Another one is to just type them into a message. The confirmation of the intention to send is implicit but no confirmation is possible at the receiving end: they read the message and get the contact, willing or unwilling. All they can do is delete it before remembering it and report the other party. There is a provision about reporting unwanted interactions.
About circumvention, one could think about a way to detect contact details in messages. There are several problems with that.
1. If it warns the sender, the sender will try another way until the obfuscated contact passes unnoticed (text, image, vocal, link, whatever.)
2. If it automatically reports the sender there will be many false positives, some due to copy and paste, keyboard autocompletion, etc.
Huh that happens to me too, tooth grinding and all. I never thought it might not be normal. In periods it's so bad I have to completely avoid music or I won't be able to sleep. I'll just lie in bed jamming for hours. It's incredibly annoying, and a bit scary to observe my mind going in circles like that.
It's definitely stress/anxiety related for me, or at least coincident.
I don't play an instrument, do you? Maybe it could "get it out of the system" somehow?
it's slightly relieving to hear you experience similar and find it normal
yes to it getting in the way of sleep and yes to probably anxiety related
I used to listen to a lot of music and play a few instruments as a hobby, but have had no time to in recent years. I consider myself an incredibly musical person and wonder if recording the main offenders would expel them. I would love to find the time to turn this affliction into a creative process, both as a hobby and possible therapy
This is my experience. As a teenager I pirated about half the media I consumed. Now that I have a modest income I legally consume almost all my media (books, music and games), except for uni text books and scientific articles that aren't available through any of my libraries.
I tried following my linear algebra course using freely available materials and/or 2nd hand text books, but constant "new" editions and access to online study portals made 2nd hand books impractical.
I feel like this is "the 2nd uncanny valley", on the other side of realism. It's more uncanny because the face is so realistic, indistinguishable from a real person. But the weird mistakes around the face reminds us that this is made by something entirely alien, with an alien understanding of what it means to be human. It's like The Thing.
