Thank you all for your suggestions! If I remember, I’ll let you know what we pick.

I suppose I mean anything 80s and older.

Surely they signed an extremist non-compete.

At one point in my life I was doing a lot of intravenous oxycodone et al. I loved pushing my limits and was very good at it, apparently. At one point, and this wouldn’t be the last time but was probably the first, I put about 130mg of oxycodone into one needle. I remember getting tunnel vision and a rushing sound in my ears. I woke up several hours later. A few months later I decided to look into those symptoms. Basically early onset overdose. Those were interesting times for me.

While no one really wants to hear this, and I preface this with I still struggle sometimes, but lots of therapy and venlafaxine (SNRI) is what did it for me. The medication got the endless, racing, intrusive thoughts and memories to slow down so I could sleep. Then the therapy did the rest. I’m off the meds now and just smoke a lot of weed, and drink a couple times a week still. Not perfect, but better. The pills made it hard for me to get off, so I opted to manage it myself once I’d had things under control for about a year.

Just saying if he takes two steps to his left, those leafy greens are probably under a sprinkler. Just wet your fingers slightly.

I’m also not going to read it, but $700 mil as of 2023, according to the table in the link.

The other day I was hanging out with a friend and played racket ball for the first time. I don’t do sports, but that was a blast.

I watch an unhealthy amount of YouTube and never knew this. Nifty.

Thank you

That’s fair. I’m entirely uninformed on the sparrows but I do understand nature is an endlessly complex system which we do not and probably can not ever truly understand. Not trying to be absolutist.

But I do wish death on every blood sucking mosquito.

What do you think we’d use? Just out of curiosity. Horse? Deer? We have the infrastructure and such for horses. I don’t know why we haven’t domesticated deer for meat production but I’d imagine they’re next. Horses have much less utility in the modern world so I can definitely see them being the go-to.

Surely something else can be eaten. And there are many species of mosquito that do not eat human blood. I think we can nuke the species that does and still get by.

Perhaps I’m under informed here.

Fun thing is nature always copes. When we’ve lit the atmosphere on fire and been killed off by climate change, chances are long after we’re gone life will persist and leave us irresponsible children behind.

It’s beautiful, in a way.

Shit really? Is THAT why I can barely pay rent and I’ve eaten bologna sandwiches for the last three days? I thought I was just undeserving of basic necessities.

I read somewhere a good starting point is if a task takes less than two minutes, just do it now. You start there and build. Never quite realized that’s what I’d started doing on my own, but it has helped, especially after making it a conscious effort.

Now if someone could tell me how to deal with having a shift at work at the end of the day and the entire day before the shift being wasted because all I can focus on is that I have somewhere to be in 6 hours.

Missed the lesson on gravity while you were in rehab at 4.

This happens to me when I smoke a lot. No biggie.

I never had a Sega, so no go there.

95-96 ish
