The last time I saw my doctor, she gave me this form and told me that they're having all patients fill it out. It's copyrighted by Pfizer, and I can't think of any reason for a medical practice to give it to all patients unless they were purposely trying to prescribe more antidepressants / book more psych appointments. The fact that medical professionals can do this with a straight face makes me sick.

haha it goes directly from 'not at all' to 'several days' holy wow

this is how you end up with a statistic that says 'More than half of mental health clinics patients' illnesses affected their sleep, energy or appetite more than once a week'!!!

also, maybe it's just my take, but her sense of humor is very SNL sophomorish

it doesn't feel like she brought any sense of whimsy into any of her acts/bits/jokes etc.

but if that boy accidentally stumbled into my bed late one night, HOO BOY

first, i'd start by biting his pants on his inner thigh, until they're frayed enough that i could lick the individual hairs of his groin, i'd try to even knot them with my tongue

i'd smack his rear end up and down YOU'RE A NAUGHTY BOY BOULEVARD and then kiss it like a motorboat that just got stuck in the world's thickest cornfield

This is an awful way to say it and I hope it wasn't said like this, but it's not untrue. Medications have side effects and you and your doctor should have an honest and frank discussion about whether these side effects are worth the benefit of the medication. That doesn't mean that drugs are poisoning you or killing you, it's not the drug's fault and we shouldn't talk about going drug free as a solution, but people need to be aware that these things come with a cost. I can't tell you whether doctors do discuss these things with the general public. I can speak only from personal experience where I have been made fully aware of all possible side effects of any prescription drugs I take or procedures I have. I recently had an operation that had an extremely high cost both during the procedure (it's dangerous) and afterwards for the rest of my life, but the benefits outweighed (heh) those risks and I went ahead with it, but I could never say I was unaware of them.

asiina's operation turned her into bill hader

Despite our flaws as a community I feel that sa mafia is by and large a group of kind, understanding, and generous people. That's why I'm confident that in posting apostate courier's gofundme nobody here would confuse it for solicitation or begging on her part. If you can support AC in any way it'd just be further proof of the quality of people that make up sa mafia and help to set it apart as a family.

I am sorting my bags as we speak. I have many different Le Pliage and carry a pink leather crossbody most days because it rules. Oh freepeople's reusable shopping bags are also amazing.

Do you know what the Purse Forum is? There are many many pictures of bags there. I have even seen people's bags having tea parties it is really, something, else.

for me it depends on the occasion. i mostly use the recycled suit bags because it gives me the opportunity to buy garish suits i wouldn't otherwise, helps my recycle and also looks unique

for business i have an old 90s beane briefcase, and i have ... a few dozen travel bags and four laptop bags and 3 backpacks :X

BTW Myers Briggs tests are hilariously broken and the only metric worth any thought in how you interact with the world is the introversion-extroversion scale. Everything else has been known to be bunk for years.

BottleKnight posted:

90% of the times that I have seen the results of this test it has been INTP. For some reason engineer/math majors consider it a badge of honor.

I remember discovering the INTP forums when I was a kid and thinking to myself "WHAT PART OF THE "I" DONT YOU ALL GET. WHY WOULD I CONSCIOUSLY BE SOCIAL WITH PEOPLE WHO EXPEND ENERGY IN SOCIAL SITUATIONS. WHY WOULD I DO THAT TO YOU ALL."

the I > E. most people think Hitler would have fit into INTJ, actually, but I think he was likely extroverted enough considering he was able to bark down his advisors into letting him orchestrate his own demise, and he was an excellent orator.

is complimenting someone by saying they look beautiful with a smile creepy?

one of the common cat-calls/sneers women hear on the street is 'smile more!' - a carryover from bad opinions on how women should always do their best to be attractive, and that even in walking down the street they should appeal to men

while your compliment might be sincere, it unfortunately fits into a very ugly social space nowadays. it's the equivalent of asking a black guy if they play basketball, basically.
