cheee

First week it made me feel like there was a very light electric current running through my body. Not unpleasant, just a bit odd. Tingly. And yawning uncontrollably for a few hours after taking them for a few weeks.

Again, not unpleasant. But I absolutely embraced them, I did not fight the effects. I was very, very glad to try medications.

Now, after like 4 or 5 years, I can clearly tell the difference between before and after - the difference is, instead of downward spiralling into a hideous pit that I couldn’t climb out of, that spiralling downwards still starts, but it stops.

Instead of falling into the pit, I can just choose not to keep going down.

Things are still upsetting and I still take things worse than other people but I dont become out-of-control spiralling downwards forever until I can’t function. I have gained the ability to shrug and go “that sucks but, whatever”.

Yeah, I’d agree, and why I hope AGI is a thing soon, so the AI(s) can take over managing us.

The problem I had with Vinge’s Sky series is that the first book is so, so amazing. Like wonderfully amazing concepts that I wanted to read all about, so I immediately went and read the other 2.

Book 2 is ok but crap compared to book 1.

And book 3 sucks.

Neither book 2 or 3 explore any of the interesting concepts from A Fire Upon The Deep, and I wanted so, so much more, and it just left me deeply disappointed.

Yea I’m at least 10 years post quitting properly and I’d fucking kill for a ciggie right now.

Not gonna do it, because of all the many, many reasons that they are fucked up. But still.

Why is your skin colour the same as mine?

Fucking poser

Yea but where are u from?
