JakeP posted:Not saying you do this but in general don't spam the thread with an epic megacase that takes up the entire screen as your method of getting people on your side, peoples attention spans are short, and they will not digest it. I find you are better off posting your thoughts as they come up, and not letting them pile up, and just be genuine, and explain why you feel the way you do. Good townies will recognize this, and give your case more attention than some mega post of quotes and lovely blurbs about why the posts were scummy, or an essay that is 5 paragraphs long or something As someone who is very clearly long-winded, I usually try to (a) understand my thought process[/b] before I post it, so if people challenge me on my posts I can justify them (b) directly engage with the people who I think are scummy so there is an obvious thing for people to reply to (c) bold the important parts of my megapost if I think it's so long that people won't read it (I actually always forget to do this but I think it's a generally good idea) (d) be aware of the presence of scum. If your giant case is right and being dismissed, it might be a sign that you're right. Conversely, if your giant case is being agreed upon by almost everyone, it means scum is cool with it and you're (likely) wrong.

HiipFire posted:to be fair, most musicians don't really use the album format well The reason I listen to jambands is because (a) every live show has a different setlist / improvisation and (b) pretty much every live show is available online for free. This is great for the fans because there's a near-unlimited catalog of music to listen to, and great for the bands because it keeps the fans coming back to their live shows. With the exception of Phish, I haven't listened to any of my favorite bands studio albums because I like their live stuff more and there's a huge abundance of it. Here are five studio albums where I know all the words, like all the songs, and have listened to them a few hundred times each: Phish - Junta Sublime - 40 oz to Freedom Less than Jake - Losing Streak Daft Punk - Discovery A Tribe Called Quest - The Low End Theory Ernie. posted:ecco is basically a poor man's tremendous taste at this point This thread is a basically a poor man's PYF at this point

Look Under The Rock posted:My primary focus is on actual brain science behind mental illness. There is a lot of nasty misinformation flying around that's leading to botched diagnosis and people being drugged as a first line of defense when psychiatric drugs in a healthy brain can lead to chronic illness and dependence. I was sick for ten years from improper handling in the mental health system and spent the last three of those with a schizophrenic spectrum diagnosis. My goals are pretty steep but if I even get a lower level position on a research team working on dispelling the mythology shoved on consumers by the pharmaceutical industry, I will consider my life well spent. If you get me talking about how much I hate the pharmaceutical industry, it's almost impossible to get me to stop. Good luck to you!

Look Under The Rock posted:I would really like to talk to you about it.  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.

One of the biggest eye-openers for me was when I tried to be straight-up honest with a doctor to get an Adderall script. Not because I think I have ADD, but because I had been taking it for months and could tangibly see the benefit from it. My main goal in getting a script was to cover myself from a legal standpoint, and to have a doctor on-board with checking my health. Note that before I brought up Adderall, this doctor had given me a physical and said I was healthy. The doctor refused to prescribe it, and told me I needed to go through a therapist in their Behavioral Health department. The therapist told me that I couldn't be prescribed Adderall because I had admitted to doing cocaine in the past, which meant I was at a high risk for abuse. I asked her what "high risk for abuse" meant, given that I already had access to it and had been giving myself the same dosage for weeks and was fully aware of the risks (which was what brought me there in the first place). She said she would lose her license if she signed off on giving me Adderall, but if I wanted to I could make an appointment with a psychiatrist to state my case. I talked with the psychiatrist, who said that they couldn't do anything unless I submitted to get neuropsychological testing done, which would take a full day, and even then they were more likely to help me "get over my marijuana addiction" than to recommend me stimulants. After spending three hours and $60 getting nowhere, I did what I should have done in the first place and booked another doctor (the one who gave me the depression questionnaire) and told her what she wanted to hear. Look Under The Rock posted:Long term stimulant use is linked to decreased capacity to feel joy so yeah talk to your doctor about Adderall and enjoy your Celexa in five years My anti-drug friends used to say that about my MDMA use and a decade later I'm happier than I've ever been

Ahhh, I missed MBTI chat, but that's probably a good thing. I think the types of personalities / metrics used are all valid but the way most people figure out theirs (tests and such) or what they mean (buzzfeed memes) tend to be really bad.

BottleKnight posted:Engage them how? How would you go about engaging a new Facebook friend who has opinions you find, at surface, gross? Would you argue in the comments, message them personally about politics, or not bring up the subject at all to begin with? What I've found works is listening to the other person and giving them an honest chance to sell you on their opinions. Yeah, they probably won't change your mind, but if you make a genuine attempt to see where they're coming from / respect their point of view, they're more likely than not to do the same for you.

I am ok  I'm sorry I flaked out so hard in Opop's game - I'm very consciously aware of how much I don't like it when other people join games and then don't post. Mafia is really fun for me when I'm able to immerse myself in a game, but when real life throws stressful stuff at me trying to keep up on a Mafia game on top of all of it becomes a bit too much. Hopefully I'll be back next week with a good story to tell!

Lets not use that cool EZ pass express that you don't need to slow down for either While I understand that it's mostly unavoidable, my favorite part of the Mass Pike is that when you try leaving the city during rush hour in the summer, you get to stare directly into the sun.
