fucking legendary bit LMAO
yeah it's the depth that makes me think this is just bad timing, but still, I know nothing about seismic signatures

From the Iranian Seismological Center:
Is this a regular ass earthquake with the worst possible timing, or could this be something else? I imagine an earthquake signature would be different from a nuclear test or a malfunction at the Fordow Fuel Enrichment Plant (~30km northeast), right?
I never forgot a comment I once saw, which said that James Hoffman is what an iPhone would look like if it were a person
holy FUCK I actually flinched lmao
that was an incredibly close call, goddamn
That's really interesting! I already asked Marmite to share some stuff where I can learn more about this, do you have any suggestions if I want to read up on this stuff?
I'm learning a lot from all of your comments, thanks! Can you direct us towards some sources where we can learn more? I see lots of people here who are very knowledgeable about this kind of thing, but I don't even know where to start.
SWEET MOTHER OF FUCK
HOLY MOLY hypersonic missiles are fucking TERRIFYING
LMAO "Peru" is the Portuguese word for turkey, the bird
intern ass mistake
Folks, this is it.
After more than six months on Wellbutrin, being the unfocused mess I've always been, and being treated like a criminal and/or child by the most condescending, inconsiderate psychiatrist I've ever had the displeasure of seeing, I decided to say fuck it and find another professional.
For six months, I've been made to wait by my health insurance provider for an ADHD test that never came. I'm on a mysterious waiting list that moves forward at a pace that is known only to the Nether Gods and in all likelihood I'll never get to do this test anyways. All of this because apparently a psychiatrist does not have the authority to say "hey, I think you have ADHD, let's try a first-line treatment and see if it works for you." Silly me, thinking a psychiatrist would be able to diagnose a psychiatric disorder.
Well, my new psychiatrist decided to try a new approach: I've been on Lithium before, because a GP thought I might be bipolar. It didn't work, because... I'm not bipolar. So let's try ADHD medicine and if it works, then, well... in all likelihood, I truly do have ADHD.
Folks, it seems I do have ADHD. Vyvanse (actually Lisvenx, same medication, different name) works a treat. A goddamn treat, I say.
Yesterday felt like the first day of the rest of my life. Cheesy cliché, I know, but holy fucking shit it feels like an entirely new world has been opened to me. I taught five lessons without feeling like I was going to fall asleep for even a single moment. My mind is focused, and my internal monologue is only one audio track instead of four.
I have energy, I don't feel my eyes trying to shut on their own. I can simply get up and fucking do things. Easy things are easy to do. Difficult things are difficult to do for the correct reasons. I defeated the Fromsoft ADHD field boss: I folded all my laundry and put it away.
How did I spend more than 30 years of my life not feeling like this? How many opportunities did I lose, how many things did I abandon because I felt like I wasn't capable of doing them, not because of my lack of competence, but rather because there was an invisible wall of inability between me and even the simplest task? I now realize how much of a fucking legit disability ADHD is.
This is only my second day on this medication so I'm afraid that things might not always be like this from now on. I'm afraid that this effect may only be an initial honeymoon phase and I'll eventually go back to how I was before. If that ever does happen, though, I'll know that that disorganized mess of a human being is not all that I can be.
I can be better. There is hope.
This has been a life-changing experience for sure, and I hope that every single person who needs ADHD medication does get the opportunity to at least try it once, if only to realize that a better life is, in fact, possible.
Which Way, Western Man?
I spent the whole day at my workshop, making sawdust, logged off and enjoying a local holiday. I arrive home and see that at long last the cheeto is fired and then I decide to go over my daily allowance of Twitter just to check out what's going on.
My feed is full of the most radioactive shitty excuses for human beings, one after the other. I just opened it right now to check it again, and here's what I got, in this order:
Ann Coulter, Mike Pompeo, Kyle Rittenhouse, Tucker Carlson, Megyn Kelly, Mike Lee, Jim Jordan, Nikki Haley, Donald Trump Jr., Josh Hawley, Lauren Boebert, Donald J Trump Posts from Truth Social, Greg Abbot.
To what do I owe the pleasure of being presented with this absolute eldritch nightmare of a blunt rotation? Is this happening to anybody else? This is on my phone's Firefox browser, because I've reached the daily app time allowance, same as on my PC's browser.
how thoughtful, they have an ICBM just for hexbear!
