  • Yeah, I get it. The first few days of medication were incredibly eye-opening, and I had taken a shitload of stimulants before, mind you.

    It felt like somebody had flipped the switch for the 5 billion whispers that were constantly talking in the background. It was honestly shocking. That was how neurotypical people experience life?

    Now, the downside: I actually started to miss those whispers. They were my voice, after all, and they were not only distractions, but also my emotions, my creativity, my wit, my charm. It’s not that those things are all gone, but they are certainly subdued, muted.

    So, whenever circumstances allow me to, I like to go back to my old, unmedicated self.

    That’s a pretty normal picture if you have regular, social interactions. What’s weird is posting that anywhere outside your circle of friends and the picture becoming the topic of public debate after one of the subjects allegedly shot someone.

    That being said, and I say this as a married, retired old fuck - that guy definitely fucks.







  • I don’t have personal experience, but have a family member that suffers from schizophrenia, so I’d still call that first hand experience.

    I’m neither a nutritionist nor a psychiatrist, but let me say, your struggles are valid. Weight gain on meds is absolutely a thing and yes, it’s a lot harder to lose the weight.

    I’m sure it can be done, but it will take more out of you and will require a lot more discipline - it’s okay if you can’t push through that all the time, but it’s also absolutely valid if your weight and personal image matters enough for you to try.


  • Just for reference: the nail polish is supposed to create a random, near-impossible to replicate pattern using the metal flakes inside that get randomly distributed during application. You’re supposed to take a picture of the blob after it has dried and keep that at home for comparison - the nail polish is not a miracle replacement for e. g. Loctite that will make it impossible to undo the screws.




  • I mean, loops just became available, and I have seen two videos of this user in a time span of 30 minutes. Given that the videos have a certain production value (they’re edited, there is music, proper lighting etc.) these videos were made by someone that was already doing this before loops and is now simply expanding their outreach to a new platform, so I would expect the content to be similar - whatever has worked for them previously, they’re testing the waters without investing additional effort to adapt to a potentially different target audience.

    Maybe loops will be different and the userbase will over time express a completely different taste in content, maybe not.

    As I see it, I get to experience new forms of content, hopefully without the negative connotations that TikTok brought along, which I never got into.

    Do I need to watch someone glue a condom to their shoes and surround their feet with fries for push a lame word pun to 11? Probably not. But I’m sure there will be different things, too.

    I do in fact use unrefined, brown cane sugar, although I have not tried panela. specifically.

    The one I use pretty much looks like this:

    It’s an organic fair trade brand, but I’d have to look up where it is imported from.

    As I said, I can’t imagine making it with any other kind of sugar any more. Sorghum seems like an interesting idea, might have to experiment with that.
