OT: I’m adopting two rescue kittens, one is pretty much a go but its proving trickier to get a companion (hoping the current application works out today). Part of me feels guilty for doing this so fast after what happened, but I kinda need it to keep me from doing anything stupid.

That would be a much better world (btw ironworkers are great if you ever get to use one).

I think theres a EA presence at the all the big universities now. Theres a rationalist meet up in Manitoba but nothing here thank god.

I noticed Sonia during the initial media coverage but didn’t know what to make of her. Theres another person on twitter alleging abuse at Aella’s cnc parties, I can dig them up at lunch if you want.

Cross posting from reddit but here’s TPOT/GHB/CNC stuff

OT: I really appreciated the things you guys said last thread. It helped a lot.

I adopted him from the shelter. He’d spent months if not close to a year there and no one wanted him. If I hadn’t adopted him, he would have been put down the next day. That was close to eight years ago. He was antisocial to other people but loved me.

Despite his discomfort, he still came and curled up on my chest in bed for a while last night. I appreciated that.

also the universe has granted me a small mercy and for once the alcohol/semaglutide thing I mentioned a thread or so ago seems to be totally impotent against the might of scottish chemical engineering. thank you jesus

Should have noted Hunter Ash admitted to being a pedophile.

OT: He’s gone. Last thing he saw was my face and then there was no more pain. His veins had all collapsed (vet had to inject the phenobarb into the liver), so I was right to bring him in when I did.

Clinic called back. Its metastasized through his lungs and he’s got months tops. Probably going to be less bc vet said he’s suffering.

I think thats Eiganrobot’s wife’s gay escort ex.

OT: My truck got rear ended today, and then my cat had breathing difficulties when I got home…he’s under oxygen at the university clinic right now and its probably cancer instead of pneumonia. Just feeling totally destroyed rn.

Its working! I got him to eat!!!

Is mentioning his other reddit account not permitted on wiki?

OT: Did you guys know they give cats mirtazapine as an appetite stimulant? (My guy is recovering from pneumonia and hasn’t been eating, so I’m really hoping this works).

I want a vortex ring gun.

Its gone completely out the window - anything more then a beer or two and I get nauseous. I get a free bottle of hard liquor from work every quarter (distillery) and I’m completely unable to touch the stuff now.

I also quit marijuana entirely, the only thing remaining is nicotine (which I do consider dropping from time to time). All and all, I think its been a good thing since I’m not sure I have the healthiest relationship with substances.

I’m running ozempic and I haven’t noticed any anhedonia tbf. I think Yud claimed he had tried them and that they failed to work or something.

(fun fact: ozempics going generic up here in a few months because Novo fucked up the patent application. The peptide market thing gives me the willies.)

Hypomania sucks. I’m lucky that I just get terrible insomnia for about a week.
