I ended up going to a regular SSRI and working with a compounding pharmacy to taper very slowly. Talk to your doctor!

I still get spasms when sleepy or tired after almost 10 years.

Oh no!

Anyway

IT guy here, not a programmer per se, but I have given up and am re-training into fraud detection. I want to take down some of the fuckers that ruined the industry before I die

Do you want to know more?

Embarrassing for Alberta and Canada, but extremely based on the part of the Saddle Lake Cree Nation. I wonder if US First Nations might be able to pull a similar maneuver?

“We on the right cast things in hateful terms intended to somehow be racist about bike lanes, but really it’s just different words for the same stuff.”

Fuck you, idiot. I’m sorry you lost your dad, and your advocacy would be welcome, if you could pull your fucking head out for five fucking seconds. But really, get fucked.

Or homelessness. Or suicide.

Yep. Declaration of Independence. Not part of our law, but part of our basis for overthrowing an oppressive, extractive government

Not sure what here is wonky. Personally my bikes just have regular ol’ cable setups, no electronic anything. I guess I can see “why update that one thing without offering the latest and greatest” even if it’s not something I get excited about. But I think that’s what the article is pointing to

Canada almost switched in the 1970s, but lost its nerve

When did the “simulated blowjob poking your cheek with your tongue” come out? That was advanced technology

Evangelion-ass atmospheric phenomenon

What a complete gentleman. Just chilling out in the open, no ulterior motives, sits still for his fitting appointment.

I choose to believe he donned a little top hat and walked out quietly

Fair.

Well, turns out people in different generations, while they may on the whole share various traits, are in fact individuals with different life experiences, temperaments, and attitudes.

That said I am seeing my own Gen-X peers turning “boomer”: entitled assholes who also attempt to turn the abuse and neglect we survived into virtues. I think a lot of this is completely literal survivor bias, but also “survivors” in terms of who gets seen and heard.

Ancient (and a very few modern) Gnostics decided to run with “God is an asshole and we are all prisoners here”
