Want to wade into the snowy surf of the abyss? Have a sneer percolating in your system but not enough time/energy to make a whole post about it? Go forth and be mid: Welcome to the Stubsack, your first port of call for learning fresh Awful youāll near-instantly regret.
Any awful.systems sub may be subsneered in this subthread, techtakes or no.
If your sneer seems higher quality than you thought, feel free to cutānāpaste it into its own post ā thereās no quota for posting and the bar really isnāt that high.
The post Xitter web has spawned soo many āesotericā right wing freaks, but thereās no appropriate sneer-space for them. Iām talking redscare-ish, reality challenged āculture criticsā who write about everything but understand nothing. Iām talking about reply-guys who make the same 6 tweets about the same 3 subjects. Theyāre inescapable at this point, yet I donāt see them mocked (as much as they should be)
Like, there was one dude a while back who insisted that women couldnāt be surgeons because they didnāt believe in the moon or in stars? I think each and every one of these guys is uniquely fucked up and if I canāt escape them, I would love to sneer at them.
(Credit and/or blame to David Gerard for starting this. This was a bit late - I was too busy goofing around on Discord)
OT: Lurasidone is neat stuff.
Never tried it. Do you have bipolar? I do. My psych is reluctant to put me on an antipsychotic again because Abilify made me gain 30 pounds and become prediabetic.
Yeah, BP2. Replacing risperidone. Metformin can help with antipsych weight gain fwiw, some really fascinating studies out there.
Yea Iām BP1. I switched to lamotrigine and lost all the weight and my fasting glucose went from 113 down to 85
Iām hoping I can switch to lamotrigine in the long term. Valproate is nasty stuff.
Iām very happy with it. I feel better than I can remember in a healthy way. Like I donāt feel negative emotions in my stomach or throat anymore when I experience some small inconvenience or disappointment. I still get some residual depressive symptoms though and some breakthrough hypomanic symptoms like once or twice a year.
Hypomania sucks. Iām lucky that I just get terrible insomnia for about a week.
Iāve been lucky itās only been for a few days at a time though. So I do get to have some fun, but itās over before it really gets out of hand. Usually triggered by not getting enough sleep one night.
