Oh, i am and some others too, but it would take someone with an army to fucking bomb Israel back to the stone age to stop those madmen. I never thought i would say that, but if Israel vanished in a giant nuclear fireball, it would be a net positive for the world at this point.

Israel disappearing would probably be a big step towards peace in the Middle East, given their tendency to start shit with their neighbors.

I used to think "dude, why does everyone on the middle east seem to hate Israel"

Then I got a minor in history

Then I tried using it. It's embarrassing how many years there were between the two. Please don't ask

I told every politician that represents my address taking AIPAC money is a nonstarter for my vote a long time ago. They didn't give a fuck. Being angry enough has nothing to do with it, they won't / don't care until supporting isn't real starts losing them money. And this blue no matter who shit some people love to throw around explicitly helps further genocide. Never vote AIPAC, no matter who.

[–] LostCarcosan@lemmy.today 4 points 4 days ago

Corbin Dallas is from The Fifth Element. An amazing scifi movie from the late 1900s

I’d probably just want to keep believing that vs HSM, lol.

i mean, i had a flatmate in college who would turn on the disney channel and watch high school musical every day. i told him if he was going to do that, at least take the TV (it was a big ol' 13 incher. also mine.) back to his room because i didn't want to watch it more than once a week. all i managed to absorb was that vanessa hudgens exists.

uh, what were your parents doing in 2005 that's the only year i don't have accounted for. my asshole was steering the ship though so i don't think i'd be doing much breeding or interacting with people in a positive manner.

amnesia sucks dude

I had my second kid and was full speed ahead into my second divorce.

Amnesia sounds awful, sorry bruh

I was wondering why some of my friends were not reacting, then I remembered most of them are on antidepressants. I'm starting to think too many antidepressants users out there, and many of them probably take them because they can't deal with the state of the world.

MAJOR DISCLAIMER THIS IS NOT MEDICAL ADVICE THIS IS MY OWN EXPERIENCE

There's that, and there are a lot of chemical imbalances that are covered up by SSRIs. I have a MTHFR (MoTHerFuckeR gene yes the capitalization is important) (dear gods I've typed that phrase so many times my autocarrot knows it) mutation, so I cannot methylize folate, so if I do not eat methylated folate (as a pill supplement), it is bad. SSRIs mask that "bad". If I take methylated folate at the right dose I am myself. If I SSRI it up, I'm a zombie. Took years to figure everything out and the right balance, and I'm still learning shit about my other defects. But it took a lot of work to get to the place where I could get off the SSRIs, and there were more than a few failed (md approved) attempts.
