It works really well for me! Since I’ve been on both, my mood has been ok almost every day, for the first time since puberty (10-15 years ago). Psych said that’s a known effect of this exact combo.

Idk for photos in particular I don’t experience many drawbacks from just using two separate physical external hard drives (every photo is backed up to both).

The capsule is the MP, the lengthy one is escitalopram (an SSRI antidepressant), the round ones are thyrostatics, for my autoimmune hyperthyroidism.

Hahaha yeah it’s definitely just 6

(I just checked, it’s 19 on my phone, 21 on my laptop and 12 on my work PC)

My brain broke deciding whether it was the English or German word ‘also’

Felt prompted to share my lunch. Feeling healthy (yes one of the pills is MP as well).

Super interesting, cause for me it’s the opposite! If I try to read it out loud mentally, my mind is (I guess) understimulated and starts to wander, causing me to have to reread it.

Side question: if you give text a voice, what kind of a voice are you giving my comments here? Not just asking you specifically, but anyone who wants to answer!

Thanks for the pointer, I’ll read the wiki!

Hm so it isn’t like reading it out loud, except in your head, after all?

Interesting, everyone I’ve told this to said that is indeed how they read!

Does reading something quietly take as long as reading something out loud for you? It’s hard to imagine!

The way I explain it is: when you read, you don’t read the words aloud in your head. You look at them and register their meaning. My thoughts are just those meanings. Usually in larger chunks than single words though. They don’t have a language. I can ‘picture’ sounds I’ve heard before though, like getting a song stuck in my head. That one’s more difficult with pictures.

That first one isn’t just American christian zionism, it’s the literal reason modern day Israel was created.

If you want to actually mix two colours, get a separate brush and just mix a drop of one polish and a drop of the other on a non porous surface like a bit of tinfoil. About the chipping: are you using a decent top and base coat and wrapping the tips?

I have a shower-tub combo, I just sit on the edge and point the stream at my butt.

Yep 100%. Culturally where I’m at small talk is seen as having the purpose of starting an actual conversation, so ‘stressed, finals are coming up’ is ideal. Brief, not too deep, and invitation for conversation. But also said in a way so that’s it’s not rude for them to just say ‘sorry, that sucks’ isn’t rude.

Might be cultural, but I never get bad reactions to A. Nobody wants your life story, but if you’re brief, chances are nobody will bat an eye. e.g. ‘tired’, ‘stressed’.

Thank you. I’m also sorry you’re hurt. Guess what I’m saying is, this is the ONE space I’m comfortable, BECAUSE profiles don’t matter. Theres profiles so there’s accountability and the option for bans so this doesn’t become 4chan. Do you have a suggestion where I could go that’s safe for me if this isn’t it? I don’t know of anything else.

There’s many different types of neurodivergent with many different needs, and it hurts to be dismissed about that. I’m trans too and I never tried to convince you that your experience has got to be the same as mine. Going into profiles destroys the anonymous safe space for me. I just want to engage with posts and comments, not profiles. This is overwhelmingly the culture on here, and that’s the reason why it’s the only social media in comfortable using. There’s plenty of social media that isn’t like that.

Not all of us are neurotypical. Those of us who aren’t and have differing needs deserve space. There is plenty of choice for non-anonymous social media.

Because the anonymity and impersonalness of this site is what makes it much more accessible to many of us than non-anonymous social media. Some of us have an easier time interacting with ideas if it’s impersonal. Knowing who the people on the site are lessens the appeal and accessibility.
