The poors aren’t people silly!

Should’ve gone the Kanye route and said defcon 3

End stage caffeine addiction. A terrible illness

This is heartbreaking news but I can’t get over the “pro-democracy law maker Nathan Law”

Tour as in tu- er or tore? I’ve heard it pronounced both ways here in the states

I really like startpage, but I’m pretty sure it’s just Google with some tweaks

What’s your point in bringing bud light up? I’m not trying to start shit, genuinely curious. What is it that we need to know? What does “never trust” mean in this context? I can’t make heads or tails of anything you wrote

The leader of an oppressive organized religion? Using slurs? Say it ain’t so!

We don’t need more blobs of suburban “neighborhoods”. Urban centers should be renovating/repurposing vacant properties and infilling empty areas. It’s a matter of building more densely and not tearing down nature for the sake of private equity firms bottom lines

Interchanges, plazas and malls

And crowded chain restaurants

More housing developments go up

Named after the things they replace

So welcome to Minnow Brook

And welcome to Shady Space

Well it all seems a little abrupt

No, I don’t like this change of pace

I thought kiwis were more tame than aussies

I did have some success doing essentially what you said. My free writing was certainly a lot more colorful than the draft I produced. I had a hard time editing my free writing to fit the prompt, essentially stripping what little emotion there was out of it in order to make it flow. The ADHD also made it rough to stay on topic haha. I’d get really into what I was writing and then read it back and realize it was completely useless for the purposes of my essay

I don’t think I’ll be able to cram enough reading in to learn how to feel emotions by Sunday night but I’ll try my best

That’s a great idea! I’ve been so fixated on trying to follow the prompt, the thought of using one of my emotions wheels never occured to me lol. Thank you

Hey that’s a pretty good idea, thank you! That got the neurons firing a bit. As an aside, I was getting help for a bit but therapy is expensive. Im going to school so I can finally get a job that pays enough for me to get health insurance instead of paying out of pocket. Thanks again!

Seconded for mobilism. It’s pretty good

Makes you a bit light headed and pleasantly dissociated. If you’ve ever done psychedelics it’s a bit like the come up. You get really loose and jovial for a minute.or two; it’s pretty common to spend it laughing your ass off. Then you come back to earth feeling relaxed. It’s (safely) synergistic with a lot of common party drugs.

I can only speak to its effects with mushrooms and acid. On a healthy dose of mushrooms (3.5 g or so) it’s akin to a DMT trip of you hit it at the peak. Fractals out the wazoo and you lose all sense of time. I thought I travelled to the future and came back with an unsettling sense of deja vu. 7/10.

The last time I did whipits was in combination with some nice dark web blotters. Dropped a 150 mic tab, watched 2001: a space odyssey and did whipits the whole time. The visuals were very different from mushrooms. Colors appeared out of nowhere, deep purples, greens and reds dripping off the walls and screens while you felt like your very essence was melting into a pool of narcotic bliss. Again, losing all sense of time until your soul suddenly reconstituted itself. 11/10

This isn’t a problem with “my” definition of cure. I’m using the commonly understood definition. If someone is successfully managing their type 1 diabetes with insulin and a healthy diet we don’t say they’re cured. They still have diabetes. If they stopped taking their meds and ate a ton of carb heavy foods they’d wind up in the hospital in a matter of days.

Same goes with mental illness. If you stop taking your meds, going to therapy, etc. your mental state will decline again. They’re still mentally ill, they’re just managing it.

Perhaps some people have acute moments of distress to the point where it’s clinically significant and treatment helps them weather that moment. Eventually they may return to their baseline of not needing drugs or therapy. But given the context of this thread (a woman killing herself after a decade of unsuccessful treatment) I figured it was fair to assume chronic mental illness. Something to the tune of major depression, bipolar disorders, schizophrenia, etc.

The word cure isn’t a fluid term to me or most people. It’s something that connotes permentant relief of a person’s signs and symptoms of a given illness. Something that often isn’t the case for mental illness
