Bottom post of the previous page:

IQ is meaningless, anyway.

We know, we know.

We know you Germs aren't allowed to think some people are better than others, anymore.

It comes natural to Americans.

Well it was America that came up with the concept of eugenics and was the first country to start neutering retards

[420weedscopes]

more like nurturing am I RIGHT

[DemonFiren]

If you were American you would be.

Going to toronto for my Second weekend in a row, this time for fanexpo Canada. Really excited!

[Malkevin]

Apparently South Park turns 20 some time soon.

When it first started airing I was the same age as the boys.
I now feel old again.

[Remie Richards]

Tuesday better hurry the fuck up so I can get my happy pills.

[420weedscopes]

i'm sure the doctor told you this but
they won't affect much until like two weeks in, maybe a week since you're young
once shit hits you most likely won't feel much different, but people around you will definitely notice the change

[A3STH3T1CS]

my happy pills.

I understand you're most likely saying that ironically, but don't do that.

No, I legitimately have an appointment with my GP on Tuesday because somebody with a psychology background thinks I'm genuinely depressed.
That somebody's boss is also going to see me at some point too.

I am kinda spooked of antidepressants after getting to know one dude, who got obesity and his attention span lowered to ,, I forget the previous text line in book before I get to the half of the next one" as ,,unpredicted minor side effects "
And in the end, he is still psychologically wrecked dude with insane mood swings from depression to mania state despite five years of curing his depression.
It is actually even became worse then in beginning, oh shit.

[Remie Richards]

Yeah they supposedly have wild side effects.
major ones including:
* increased risk of diabetes
* suicidal thoughts

and yeah I've heard stories of people "not being themselves" after depression meds.
but I suppose that's also the entire point.

[420weedscopes]

i am for sure not the same person
i'm sure saying this is like Really Edgy but i do not remember what i was like before anti-depressants
all i know is that i am off them and i am pretty good to go

[Remie Richards]

not the same worse or not the same better?

[Super Aggro Crag]

Something bad happened to my friend so I am upset about that.two other friends of mine have made it clear they don't want to be.my friend anymore because I am poor.

[XSI]

A side effect of some meds that are supposed to alleviate depression is deepening depression

That's just kinda how it is, we don't understand brains enough to make pills that fix the causes. We just have pills that help fight the symptoms. Which is in theory good enough if you can get them and also therapy to solve things. The cause of depression isn't really understood either, but this seems to work for at least a significant portion of people

At least humanity is trying

[420weedscopes]

not the same better
i am for sure better off now having Lived A Little

I'ma spice this bitch up with something positive. Got some sweet Malware analysis materials coming to my house, about to be be able to some malware forensics shit on my resume.

[A3STH3T1CS]

my happy pills.

I understand you're most likely saying that ironically, but don't do that.

chology background thinks I'm genuinely depressed.

I don't care, don't call them happy pills.
Knocking down the propaganda that anti-depressants are anything close to "happy pills" is priority to reduce addiction numbers.
Also it should be considered last resort and not joked about unless you identify as some edgy teenager.

[Ricotez]

did you take your joy

[Wyzack]

Fanexpo was fucking awesome even though I was hungover for the morning. Saw a panel by John barrowman and another by Alan Tudyk. They were both really funny. Bought a shitload of new dice and got an old fucking Traveller rulebook for 30 bucks. Also my costume turned out great and I even met two other people cosplaying darkest dungeon characters.

And I realised how much I actually like gin. In all a pretty awesome weekend

My Grandfather passed away at 7:50am today. He'd had a conversation with my mother about what he wanted to do in the garden (boss around my Dad) when he got home from rehab, then took a nap.

I'm going to miss him a lot. I was really proud of him and proud to be his grandson.

I can be a huge pain in the ass to deal with a lot of the time and go from zero to pissy over actual nothing but in some stupid way I'm proud of everybody here for this great big mess we've made together. Beyond the game and shit it's a nice collective of people. A good slice of autistic fuckwits trying to have fun together inbetween bouts of treating eachother like shit.

Be excellent to eachother.

Rest in peace an0n3s grandpa, "tg's official great-great granpappy"

Just look after yourself ya hear? You spend a lot of your time looking after people and trying to do the right thing. But now its time to just be kind to yourself. You owe that to yourself.

There's going to be a Carlin special on the 16th

Apparently this was recorded on 9/10/2001, and he said something to the effect of "I like it when a lot of people die", and then a day later 9/11 goes down and they decided to shelve the recording

15 years later and we finally get to see it

I bought some of his books. It was fun to read.

[Remie Richards]

GP isn't sure if it's depression or not, but she made it clear she wasn't saying it definitely wasn't.
She's worried it may cause issues with my other medication (You know), so she's advised asking my doctors at Nottingham if it's ok to take them together or not.
She says if things get worse before Nottingham (3 months time) or if they say it's ok that she can help me try some antidepressants really soon after, so that's nice.

tl;dr unsure, but GP's ready to act as a safety net.

[420weedscopes]

i've seen it kind of uncommonly for your current medication to cause depression but
i am sure your willpower will barge through it

i've had something on my to-do list for almost a year now and today i get to erase it
playtime video up today

[Remie Richards]

Oh no choco, not caused by them, but that having both at the same time could cause extra weirdness (antidepressants already have enough side effects, let alone them acting weird in combination)

[420weedscopes]

oh okay I Understand Better Now

You go with psychological problems to general practioner?

Where else? plus most other places require referrals from... well, take a wild guess.
Plus as I said above, my GP *CAN* actually get me the medication for it, if necessary, so it's not like it's the "wrong" place to go.

[XSI]

Generally, as far as I am aware, you go to the GP for anything that doesn't qualify for the emergency room at the hospital. Then the GP sends you on to whichever specialist can handle in depth diagnosis and/or treatment

Might be different in the US, but this is what I know of medical systems and it seems to be working fairly well

[Timbrewolf]

I saw a few psychiatrists when I was younger but eventually my care plan was just medication that would need adjusting over time prettymuch at my own discretion with a check-in from my GP.
I'd simply tell them whether or not I needed it for the time being, and if it was strong enough to handle the problem, and they'd give me the script.

It may seem kinda lax for a drug that can so drastically change a person but the truth is it's not something you would ever, ever want to abuse in the first place.
Prozac, zoloft, other SSRI's, shit like that helps a person who genuinely needs it and FUCKING COMPLETELY RUINS THE CHEMICAL MAKEUP of someone who doesn't need it.

Nobody is going to be buying/selling that shit on the street corner or taking it for fun. The people who need it really need it and the people who don't should stay the fuck away from it.

[nsos]

i was out skating in between classes and i texted my friend about getting lunch and all the people in the group chat was like "no we got lunch and we saw this guy" and im like "who" and apparently one of my friends accidentally made eye contact with some dude walking and he just sat down and started yelling about like buses or something

and like

he kept playing music from his phone and he was playing nightcore and the fucking crazy frog song

[nsos]

i need to see that guy

[Falamazeer]

Awesome Nsos, guess we know theterbs is still alive.

[Malkevin]

I found it funny the frog had a dick on full view for a couple of years before anyone noticed, then they put a massive borat censor bar on it

[420weedscopes]

my brother and a bunch of his friends did warhammer shit when i was younger
the only information i gleaned from that was that paint was for sure the most expensive thing
£5-10 for a tiny jar of the stuff
like it was Good Paint but still

[nsos]

i need to see that guy

UPDATE: SAW HIM

thankfully our table was full

[Thunder11]

Paint must be horrifically costly if it's the most expensive part, after what I've heard about the prices for models

does anyone have the video of spongebob and squidward bouncing up and down to deathgrips
