I don’t downvote on request (for reasons I have occasionally expressed I consider that self control strategy to be poor).
Go edit C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts or /etc/hosts to point lesswrong to 127.0.0.1. Works for me. In fact, whenever I get the slightest impulse to go look at lesswrong I deliberately and actively type in lesswrong.com, anticipating somewhat eagerly the Server Not Found message and giving myself a mental reward. This was amazingly effective in achieving extinction) in an excessively reinforced behavioral pattern.
Ok this didn’t work. Please down vote parent and this comment to punish me for posting.
Edit: Ok who up voted this. Not funny. :/

This is useful advice. Thank you.
Konkvistador,
For some of us, your behavior looks like evaporative cooling from the inside. For those of us who don’t want cooling, this is not a good thing.
But I respect you too much to upvote something you don’t want upvoted.
Not funny. :/
