My main hope is that it will be more resistant against seasonal fluctuations and will help reduce chronic pain/inflammation in conjunction with tirzepatide which I also just started.

Had to spend legitimately over a year fighting with OHIP to get both of these covered.

Oops! All Graft

Boy, they sure love their no-bid contracts, huh?

The flick is 42 years old so…

The MYCITE system demonstrated no improvements in patient adherence whatsoever during the 5 years it was available. It was discontinued in 2022 because obviously it’s more expensive than regular aripiprazole and doesn’t get patients to actually take it.

Genuine opinion: We should be putting lithium in the water supply.

I am in a similar situation. I don’t believe in suicide, so to speak, as a resolution for my depression due to the way that I felt and the way that I was treated by others following an unsuccessful attempt several years ago.

However, I do experience suicidal ideation that I typically describe to professionals as being like intrusive thoughts. They’re there all the time, they pop up daily, and I can’t get them to stop coming up, but I’m not going to act on them. I’m not a danger to myself or others.

I’ve been like this my entire life and I’ve tried over a dozen different medication combinations to no avail. My depression would cycle up and down with the seasons, but it was always very severe. A med change might help stabilize things for a few weeks, but no major resolution and it would all come tumbling down once winter arrived.

3 weeks ago, I started esketamine therapy. I’ll keep the site posted on how I fare, but I feel like this is very different from previous interventions so I’m cautiously optimistic.

Not exactly. Back in the 80s, the refineries switched over to processing the cheap and “bad” stuff (heavy, sour) into the same products you could easily make with the expensive and “good” stuff (light, sweet). The cost of the “bad” crude is much lower than the domestically produced crude, but the process to turn it into gasoline is more “expensive” based on the infrastructure investment which has already been built.

The US hasn’t built a new refinery in almost 50 years iirc. The lead time to reconfigure refineries to process domestically produced light sweet crude would involve shutting down the refineries and rebuilding over a period of about 5 years.

The US isn’t willing to stop refining oil for half a decade, plus of course infrastructure projects in the US always take far longer and cost far more than initially anticipated, assuming they ever get completed.

Most of the heavy, sour crude oil the US refines comes from Venezuela, the Gulf of Mexico, and Alberta.

This is the most dudes rock shit I’ve seen on this site in months, possibly years.

Yes, exactly the vibe I want

They are intentionally not updating this information.

Just once, I wanna see the scale model be way too tiny, so it just visibly looks like dumping a bucket of water onto your Lego bricks as a kid.

Could you have your landlady verify for you? Definitely seems like olfactory hallucinations. Might want to bring it up with a doctor next time you see one.

Do you use tissues with lotion or fragrance? If it’s not something else in your environment, it’s probably an olfactory hallucination.

Extroverted? Here’s how to shut the fuck up for 5 seconds and center others.

Statistically, you’ve met dozens.

Nah, it’s absolutely not true. Menstruation is highly variable and apparent synchronization is just an example of confirmation bias.

I have upsetting news for y’all.

The evil person detection skill is learned through trauma. You’re recognizing patterns in human behaviour based on people who have hurt you.

It’s an example of hypervigilance, but it really is almost prescient. Traumatized people learn to recognize and avoid dangerous people based on subtle and not-so-subtle cues that others simply don’t notice and need high speed cameras to even document

Do you have cptsd? Both of these things correlate really highly with it.

I think we should maybe retry collective parenting methodology.
