Which sounds more plausible to the average goon who has passing familiarity with you: This is both hilarious and a valid point.

This sentence makes me laugh so much, partly because I'm imagining the mailman just sticking his head through a broken screen door to yell at ASF until he rouses himself off the floor to take his mail.

Shoot, that link didn't work: Sunnyvale's finest. Like, I know you don't have a car, but I'm sure if/when the day comes, it'll be something like The Shitmobile: hosed up but somehow working all the same. (Plus you can use it as a summer home or a grow house.) If the time comes you need legal counsel, I think I can help.

I'm just pretty skeptical that he successfully kept his addiction totally hidden from them for the years? decades? before that. I've known a lot of addicts in that "no way could they tell, it's definitely a secret" mindset. How would they know? They knew he was going hungry and doing chemo at the time, why would they suspect drugs?

It wasn't so much the idea that Middle Eastern refugees entering Europe in large numbers could lead to issues, it's the idea that those refugees don't want to go to Croatia because they'd be expected to get jobs if they lived there. Y'know, that whole "immigrants are lazy parasites" thing.

Same thing goes for tramadol. Tramadol is loving frightening, Jesus Christ. I was prescribed it for sleep, the ones that can be split in half or into thirds--that poo poo was awful. 1/3 would leave me awake and pissed as hell I was awake; anything more, and I was left conscious but unable to move, and struggling to breathe sometimes. I knew you were made of stern stuff, but Christ.

you were warned posted:Are you sure it wasn't trazodone? That's often prescribed for sleep (and the tablets can be scored that way, which I don't think is super common?). I took it at one point, and it was so sedating that I could barely walk during the day. Awful. I'd actually been prescribed it on top of the maximum dose of lunesta (ambien's cousin) and a nightly dose of klonopin, so maybe I was lucky I was still waking up at all. That's it's, that's the one. Ha, that's a little embarrassing. Yeah, trazadone was a little rough, and I cannot imagine taking it with lunesta and klonopin.

I second keeping the beard; it works for you. Groom that thing properly and you'll be fine--a soft, clean beard is nice. As for where to meet (nice, non-crazy) women, I have no idea. You're kind of like an exotic bird, and I can offer no advice that would be of use to such a creature.

A SWEATY FATBEARD posted:I eventually came to a realization that I'm just not cut out for secks. The best I could do is have some sort of charity secks (orchestrated by Mr. Weed) but when you think about it, is that really something you should pine for? Really? It's cool if you have a low sex drive, as long as you're honest from the very beginning with your potential partner. You may end up meeting someone whose needs are similar. You may also meet someone who prefers to be more active; in that case, you'll have to communicate about how you want to address the issue. Some couples do semi-open relationships, in which the partner with the higher sex drive is "permitted" to have no-strings attached sex with other people on the down low; some couples break up. Either way, as long as you and your partner communicate honestly, you can find a good, healthy relationship no matter your sex drive.

Definitely tell your doctor. As for where you got the pills, just say you don't want to get anyone in trouble and leave it at that. I don't know how doctor-patient confidentiality works in Croatia, though, so I might be way off base.

A SWEATY FATBEARD posted:poo poo, I know I started rambling now and it's only a matter of time before I start losing coherence, but I want to ask a question to E/N forum mods, Bobbie in particular. Remember the time when I engaged in that racist spergout, quite some time ago - pretty much out of the blue? I said some very unfortunate things and people started calling me out (not without a reason) and it really bugged me out because I once again ended up being misunderstood. The question is; how come I completely avoided any sort of forums' related punishment? And the fact that I'm allowed to post while high (such as right now) and not only admit that I'm high (which is clearly against the rules), but actually be encouraged to post while high? First, I'm the only mod in E/N, I don't think it's ever had more than one at a time. So you can come to me for all your E/N needs! Anyway, the second thing is that I wasn't the mod at the time, so you'd have to ask who was, which is Detective Monkey, who has basically retired from the forums to raise her baby or something lame like that. If I had to guess, though, you were treated leniently because your posts have always been coherent and pleasant, even the ones you wrote while you were high. The No Drunk/High Posting rule isn't strictly enforced across the forum; it's something that is discouraged, especially when posters are belligerent and/or incoherent, but this isn't a hard and fast rule. Personally I'm okay with someone admitting they're drunk or stoned as long as they're not posting garbage or picking fights. Finally, I think I remember the incident you're referring to, over the use of the phrase "chimping out." Det. Monkey reprimanded you in a post, and you responded in a thoughtful manner. You apologized, explained yourself (it's understandable that a white Eastern European wouldn't be familiar with American prejudice against blacks), understood why what you said wasn't cool, and haven't said anything like that since. You're a valuable poster, and not just because you create content. Your interactions with everyone bears you out as a decent, thoughtful person.

A SWEATY FATBEARD posted:Well it's not like I haven't been banned over less, so I'm a bit confused over the 'clemency towards racism' thing - misunderstood or not - which should have defaulted into a forums ban. For example, Ozma banned my '07 account during the Something Awful's Pony Pogrom of 2012, and I neglected to read the rules that ponypostin' on the forums is not kosher. I didn't even get the chance to explain that I was tripping balls on subs and that the ponies are the best thing to watch after snorting a line or two. I mean, I know that being a weeaboo while pushing 40 is already bad enough, but ponies? gently caress you forums' poster, we can't have that. I don't know, maybe I'm at fault, maybe it's Ozma's fault, but the ban felt as if your friend suddenly kicked you in nuts and told you to gently caress off, especially as I'm the sort of poster who typically stays out of trouble. None of this stuff happened when I was a moderator, so I really can't speak on it. All I can really say is that moderation isn't an exact science, every mod and subforum is different, and standards/policies change over time. Obviously racism is bad, but I guess Det. Monkey gave you a pass because it was inadverdant and you apologized. (Unfortunately, there are a lot of innocuous terms that actually have racist/prejudiced origins or contexts, so I really do think Det. Mo's response was fair.) Don't dwell on receiving what you think is undeserved leniency. That's a great way to backslide into self-destructive thinking and habits.

SENSUAL DAD KISS posted:Depression is a symptom, not a disease. There's dozens of not hundreds of possible causes and medication won't work on most of them because of the complexity of the condition. Depression can be a symptom, or more likely a comorbid condition. My depression and ADD can exacerbate each other, but they both require treatment. Source: I thought my depression was a symptom of my ADD, but it turns out I was wrong and eventually went back on an anti-depressant. It was a good run, though, about a year.

Yeah, that's a weird argument. I don't think you can disqualify something as an illness because it's a "structural" condition and not a chemical one, especially since structure and chemistry are functions of one another in the human body.

Old Binsby posted:A broken arm hurts but the treatment isn't primarily painkillers - i.e. chemically. It's resetting the bone and a cast to make sure it heals properly, structurally. Don't forget that chemicals have an effect on structure, though: putting that broken arm in a cast doesn't grow new bone, or smooth away and reabsorb part of the broken bone to make room for said new bone. It can be argued that you want the set the bone properly in order to facilitate the chemistry of healing. Fetal development is dictated by chemical signals that determine how the body is formed, which in turn impacts how chemicals are made, received, and regulated, which in turn impacts the forms and functions of the structures of the human body. Biology is a complex feedback system that relies on chemical communication, so I think it's a bit weird to say that chemistry only a symptom and not a cause. I mean, if thinking about it that way works for you, great, but I'm not sure the science behind it is solid. I do agree with you that medication for mental illness alone is not enough. My recommendation has always been "Talk therapy before, during, and after a medication regime." Drugs are just tools, not the end goal.

Yeah, fair points. I honestly forgot there have been multiple Fat Beard threads, and in fairness, this one is over three years old and time has blurred all of his threads into a single hazy recollection. You guys are right, there is a significant downward trend on ASFB's quality of life. I suppose the question is, where do we want to go from here? Is keeping this thread open encouraging his self-destruction? I'm asking for honest opinions, because I have to admit, I feel ambivalent about keeping it open. The last thing I want is a morbid exhibition on substance abuse/countdown thread to ASFB's death by misadventure, but this thread is also really good.

Veni Vidi Ameche! posted:You'd have to ask A Sweaty Fatbeard, obviously, but I feel like this thread probably has some degree of therapeutic effect for him. I think there's a reason he keeps coming back to tell us about his life, and why he's so eager to tell us when he gets clean(ish). Again, you'd have to ask him. Maybe I am reading too much into this, but he's been keeping us up-to-date more or less regularly for years, now. Yes, these are all good points; this is ultimately FatBeard's thread, and he's the one keeping it alive with his updates. I don't want to feed into a spectacle, but if this thread has value for him (and us) and if it helps him in some small way, I don't want to pull the plug. Or send it to TCC, I feel very possessive of ASFB.
