  • Shit dude. That would financially ruin me after the first payment. (I don’t get paid in dollars nor euros, but the company does.)

    What job do you do now? How bad was the pay cut? (Or unexpected pay boost)

    Do you still take Ritalin? I’ve been taking Vyvanse for a year now, switching from a Concerta generic. I’m indifferent, but the lisdexamfetamine lasts wayyy longer. Also I get this strange general sense of “something great is going to happen very soon”.

    Venlafaxine and Buproprion helped major with anxiety and somewhat with depression. Instead of getting anxious, I now get grumpy.

    Before it was “oh shit, oh fuck”, now it’s “ugh shit, what fucking now”

    Saw you were sitting at 0 points. Who tf downvotes someone’s thoughtfully written non-hostile comments?

    Btw thanks for the brain wave info. I thought that was like, hippie stuff, but no it’s like, legit science.





  • I’ve seen dozens of videos (not even looking for them, they just pop up on my timeline).

    A bunch of buildings turned to rubble

    A red crescent ambulance

    People speaking Arabic in a distressed tone.

    Sometimes, they pull a survivor out of the rubble

    Other times, you hear family members of the deceased scream in a way that you never stop hearing in the back of your mind.

    I’ve seen a lot of of these videos long before October 7th 2023.

    There is a growing consensus

    Like, I legit want to cry that even getting to this point has taken so long.

    “Consensus” is such a fucking slap in the face of anyone who’s been paying attention, even if accidentally.

    Dropping white phosphorus on civilians, bombing entire villages off the face of the map, sniping children in the head and executing journalists.

    This is not a spectrum. This is not even binary. They are committing genocide.

    There is a growing consensus that the pope is catholic.





  • My brother used to take Ambien

    Like, too much Ambien. I heard that in the USA, you could only get 3-5 tablets or something like that prescribed. Over here in ZA, you can get a 6 month prescription with 30 tablets each repeat.

    We shared a bathroom. On multiple occasions I’d walk in with the floor coated in piss. One time, I walked in while he was lying face down, dick out, on the floor completely soaked in urine.

    I helped him up, he said something incompressible and tried to get him a fresh pair of clothes.

    Another time he woke me up to convince me he could make things levitate. I said “nah man you’re on Ambien, go to bed”, but he kept insisting. Eventually I just caved so I could go back to sleep and watch him unsuccessfully levitate his keyboard.

    I played cod once after taking 10mg. I felt like I was in the fucking jungle. Heart pounding, terrified, adrenaline flowing, tunnel vision. Fucking dominated that match though.

    I then blacked out and I told someone who I haven’t spoken to in years, that I was in love with them. (I wasn’t). Deleted the message when I woke up. No follow ups, thank god.

    The memories are either blackout or vaguely choppy.

    Weird-ass drug. Wouldn’t recommend unless you really struggle to fall asleep. You gotta take the pill and immediately jump into bed and try to fall asleep or else face the consequences of shit you don’t remember doing.




  • The assisted exit game without saving provided is not great. From what I understand, it paralyzes you and makes it feel like every part of your body is on fire until your heart eventually stops pumping blood.

    I may be misremembering, but I think it also takes a really long time. 30 minutes or something of pure agony.

    No one deserves that. Especially not this dude. First time offender, substantial public support, very unlikely to reoffend. They’re trying to make an example out of him. Don’t you dare hurt the shareholders.

    Long story short, I can’t openly advocate for a better solution to assisted grave digger revenue, but lethal injection is one I’d strongly advise against.

    Also, I have a similar problem with back pain. Not as drastic as his, but when it hits, my god, I can’t walk, sometimes it reaches the back of the neck, makes it feel like the back of my head is repeatedly being stabbed. My insurance paid for physiotherapy, but it still flares up now and then.
