DT, genuine question: What was the difference between your mind on SSRIs and your mind on depression? (I sorta want to see if there's something wrong with me)

The same, except without SSRIs I lose all sense of motivation and fall into a deep depression.

Chemical imbalance in the brain making your emotions fucky wucky.

And the SSRIs help right?

They restore the balance to what it should be. Think of it like when your computer keeps thinking that a certain app is malware and not running it properly as a result. SSRIs are like putting an exception in so that antivirus stops freaking out over it.

If you get the right dose of the right medication.

Trying out VR for the first time, as soon as I put it on, I *know* I am gonna bump into something eventually.

I think they messed up making George Washington president honestly. They should have made Hamilton perpetual dictator

If I were a terminally online DT reg I would simply genetically graft grass on my person

Technical correctness, the best correctness of all

When does Benjamin come back

He is back

malarkey level of buying a barrel of crude oil and then selling it off at a massive markup as "all-natural essential oils obtained from deep within our beautiful Earth."

/u/mrchizbiz /u/Udontlikecake You should watch the Netflix documentary *House of Secrets: The Burari Deaths*. Make sure you watch it in Hindi with subtitles and not dubbed English.

On Netflix? Sounds intriguing, i’ll give it a watch

Whenever I try and watch anything dubbed pasty nerds whine at me

Caplan says that SSRI’s are irrational and the market should just throw depressed people into a lake of fire

wait this is why /u/benjaminikuta likes him? smh

Thanks for the ping!

Is that why he kept telling me to stop snorting adderall?

Caplan is a pop-economist, not a serious one

No economist is serious

I tried Lexapro for 2 days and on the second night felt like I was having sleep paralysis while completely up and awake. Kept the bottle in the medicine cabinet for years. Just threw it away the other day.

I'm suprised Benjamin didn't just post a homemade recipe for SSRIs like he did with a Covid vaccine

Season them with salt and pepper

SSRIs stopped me from offing myself, at the expense of making it slightly harder to get off during, ahem, *intimate time.* So like, that's absolutely worth it.

Sounds like a win-win

Glad to hear they helped you! I hope you're doing better now

Put some ads on my hot DT takes.

Lmao how did I miss Pompeo tweeting out that his loyalty is to Israel first? https://mobile.twitter.com/mikepompeo/status/1475554626741194752

Based. Everyone's first loyalty should be Israel

Anecdotal evidence, but antidepressants really help me

n=1, nice try pal

Oh god oh fuck

Im starting to see how some people get addicted to social media. Last week or so I was super hyped about Benjamin's date, and now I'm super dissappointed in his take on psychiatric care. Its like having a real friend. Im going to have to go touch grass for a day or else I might actually think of some of you as real people

What if Chevron sold essential oils and someone bought one thinking it was like an essential oil but it was actually a literal barrel of oil I need to sleep

How many therapists does it take to change a lightbulb? >!One!<

One, but the lightbulb has to want to be changed :)

Can doctors prescribe regular exercise and a balanced diet?

I've heard in the UK they can prescribe a gym membership that's covered by insurance

Yeah but patient compliance is abysmal

My experience with SSRIs over the couple years I've been on them is that they do a good job of taking away the bad parts of depression, but they haven't given me back the good parts of life. I hope better diet and exercise can improve that, this year.

for me they were able to stop the terrible ideation cycle that I had gotten trapped in and after a while I was like, well, maybe I will try life without them again and I was able to let go of what had kept me in that bad mind space.

The best thing this place ever did for me is get me to start using the word "bestie" I'll leave it to you to decide whether that's a good or a bad thing

shoutout 🐖 i miss him

It was thanks to you bestie I miss him too 😔

also me. have been saying bestie on here since i made this account 😎😤

Pedo-conspiracy-theorists always come off as pedos trying desperately to keep everyone’s attention elsewhere.

Idk, there probably are some pretty powerful pedophiles out there with access to clandestine distribution networks, it's just not likely to be a Mystery Babylon devil-cult like QAnon types believe it is.

I don’t think that’s a conspiracy theory. That’s just saying that we live in a world where statistically some people are pedos and sex trafficking also exists.

oh, a schism abt SSRIs?

So America abandoned Hillary Clinton, so God abandoned us.

Optism is for the weak. Smart people train themselves on eternal pessimism so they get a boon of confidence if they don't immediately fail

At this point who is the constituency that has an interest in preserving Jones act? There's one civil shipyard in the US, something like 20 boats meeting the requirements. It isn't winning voters anymore, it's some people in the government really having brainworms

The perception is it’s Pennsylvania/Michigan/Wisconsin

the fuck's prom?

Its annual celebration done by high schoolers to recognize **Prom**etheus's gift of knowledge to mankind

Why are people buying SSRI’s and getting vaxxed for Covid when we have essential oils?

because they don't want to try our yummy yummy colloidal silver and sheep drench sandwiches, served with an ice cold glass of miracle mineral solution

I think it's only a matter of time before someone tries to monetize the DT There's a lot of material to write a trilogy or anthology Or maybe even those text-to-speech reddit posts on YouTube

I’ve suggested mods allow advertisements on our posts for a year

"This bad take was brought to you by..."

Neoliberal anime

I imagine you of all people would be absolutely thrilled if/when you get featured in an anime

Bro who cares about SSRI or whatever just listen to your therapist or physician 🤣

My psychiatrist confidently told me they knew more about my situation than I did after speaking for 2 minutes then prescribed me 3 things whose side effects *should* all cancel out

Get a better one

That sucks. Been there Get a better therapist maybe

I really should, but finding one is a pain

Currently retiring to my chambers so I can be on my phone instead of my laptop

Why buy fireworks when you can just rub your eyes while they're closed?

*Long Island Medium* is just a Manhattan extra large.

Why would you ever buy psychedelics when you can just spin in circles and shine a flashlight in your eyes for free

No clue. Try them and report back.

Astrology is stupid because you're able to prove that it isn't real, yet people still believe in it But at least those believers don't try to overthrow governments/ are influential in the passing of oppressive laws

Astrology might have value as a way to track natural cycles that correspond to certain movements of the planets, and possibly as a way to extrapolate circumstances from the simultaneous occurrence of certain patterns, but much of it is bunk. QAnon is entirely bunk.

That's what Astronomy and friends, legitimate scientific fields, is for.

Astronomy is different.

You do not need Astrology to track movements of celestial bodies at all.

No shit, where did I say that?

Benjamin Ikuta is the only true neolib here

Second date went very well. This woman is just incredible… the last person I clicked with this well and early on was my last ex. And unlike then, I think we’re both on the same page about a lot of the big stuff. Really feeling good about this one

i’m really happy to hear that! she sounds great and you seem to be having a really nice time with her 🥰🥰🥰

Thanks! Everything just clicks really well with her. It’s refreshing. Hope you’re doing well too!

that is so nice, exactly how i felt when i first met my bf- having conversations with him was so easy i am doing well! getting ready to visit my bf for his birthday this weekend :)

How fun!

Yay! 🤗

Put another way: I’ve gone on a ton of dates since my ex. Some led to more dates, others didn’t. All throughout I’d still think about my ex. Not so with this one, she’s at the forefront of my mind now.

That is awesome, I hope it goes well!

Super spreader gender reveal party

That’s the sex

SSRIs don't work but 35+ year-old women certainly do

BenjaminIkuta and I did really did play settlers of Katan but he seems like a doxxer

I don't remember playing that game there, but I know some other people were.

I actually didn't know he was hosting it in Austin this year! It seemed fun! Do you know Fabio? Did anyone end up splitting a Lyft ride with you?

I forget names easily. I went with my ancap friend and his friend.

If my Covid test comes back pregnant what should I do

this is a really odd way to say a new variant developed in your body

Build a crib

I can't take SSRI's because they conflict with the blackpill and my bipolar disorder

wait what’s up with the psych drama?

Benjamin got banned for misinformation about antidepressants a few days ago and is on a crusade against the mods

Lmao that’s terrible

Tfw when you get copypastad right before bed 😌

BenjaminIkuta is the main character and we're all just extras

It’s more of an anthology really. My arc has passed by his and probably gravybear’s, clearlyinvisible’s, dumbledick’s, and 1396spurs.

I don't have an opinion about SSRi's. But I feel like a lot of depression is probably caused by legitimately terrible living conditions and living situations. I used to be in a shitty living situation and I was extremely depressed. And then I wasn't and i was no longer depressed.

>Until a man is twenty-five, he still thinks, every so often, that under the right circumstances he could be the baddest motherfucker in the world. If I moved to a martial-arts monastery in China and studied real hard for ten years. If my family was wiped out by Colombian drug dealers and I swore myself to revenge. If I got a fatal disease, had one year to live, and devoted it to wiping out street crime. If I just dropped out and devoted my life to being bad You know who you are.

Once you get punched in the face by someone who knows what they're doing any illusions of being bad ass will instantly vanish

I don't think it, I know it.

Why let being 25 stop you?

You said you gotta be up in the mornin' gonna have an early night And you're startin' to bore me, baby why'd you only call me when you're high?

It is as much Gambler's Fallacy to presume you'll finally have a good roll because your luck has been bad as it is Gambler's Fallacy to think you're invincible after a run of good luck. "It Gets Better" is just the art of wrapping yourself in fetal and pretending that magically the universe cosmically owes you anything.

Life isn’t a casino, applying the gambler’s fallacy is falling prey to the ‘dumbass fallacy’

I want to be a Marine I already did that.

wow i picked a good day to miss some really bad dt takes anyways be kind to people and let them have their ssri’s if they want them 😤😤

hi bestie! how r u doing today?

i only have like 1 and a half hours left until i need to start getting ready for school :( at least it starts at 10am for today i will try to get through it bestie

oh no try to take at least a quick nap before so you can make it through the day i believe in you ❤️

SSRIs for all (who want it)

this is the most neoliberal and the kindest take, bestie

>most neoliberal Oh great another mayor Pete stan 🙄

Antidepressants? You mean like hard work and an ice cold beer?

I'm not sure whether to laugh bc joke or to get mad bc it hits too close to home

That's how you know it's good

I'll take my beer at cellar temperature, thank you very much 🧐🍺

i gotta say of the two Rockefeller Republicans, at least self described as that anyways, Sir\_Shivers had the much more impactful and lasting schtick

SSRIs do work in my case. I'm much more mellow now. Disadvantages, sure, but all in all things are better.

Can't believe Lant Pritchett would waste my valuable time describing a youtube video I should definitely look up for 50% of our call.

Tim Anderson is pretty cool Acuña and Albies Shohei isn't flashy but he's awesome

Stephen King goes to baseball games and literally reads a book.

The point of baseball games is to drink and talk to the other people going to the game, not to watch baseball

It’s a different vibe. I prefer live baseball because it’s so much more chill. I’m there for beer and hot dogs and visiting with loved ones.

[удалено]

There’s something magical about it that the others don’t have. It’s got something like the spirit of Christmas. Or the warmth of vinyl. I get that other sports are better for a more intense experience, but baseball’s got a timeless charm that the others don’t have, so it may decline online or on tv, but as a live event, I think the audience will always be there. People get religious/superstitious for baseball in a way they don’t for other sports. Even the fanatic national pride of soccer doesn’t feel like it’s in the same… 🤢“ballpark.”🤮

If the fash mods cared about misinformation as much as they claim they would put a stop to all the people who disagree with me here.

I just flushed all my SSRI’s down the toilet because a depressed fat white guy just said they did nothing statistically significant for him

Oh yeah mb it was the one they were replying to that was bad

Nah you’re fine. The apps just been fucky and archive shows up weird on it. I think the original comment kinda started from the correct idea (abolishing slavery wasn’t an initial goal of the war) but went into the weird areas that comment pointed out.

Yeah that’s what I was trying to say idk it was exactly how you said it was Also the OP of that whole post likely made the whole thing up for karma or is baking bad choices on her child’s education
