I only looked this up to confirm in the last few days. 11:11!

Glad you found a way out. You puff.

No, it's somehow the present. Any reason not to have China envelop NK? They can somewhat buffer the US military border and it wouldn't take such a hit to their economy. South Korea wouldn't be thrilled, but it might be the most palatable option overall.

Always liked Wacky too.

Another vote here for seeing out The OA. I really enjoyed the whole thing. The end is very... different, but worthwhile for me. Also opens up a possibility of a second series, which I really didn't expect to happen until then.

You're right on several fronts here. I would say that regular meditation, sleep hygiene, moderate exercise and diet are at least as important collectively as medication. We are, as a society, extremely overmedicated in the west. And I would highly recommend exploring all other options available to people (as long as it's not life-or-death) before going the medical route. There's plenty of downsides to medicating. Having said that, I wish someone had recognised and medicated my condition at 15. I spent a long time searching for answers, self-medicating, and ultimately living like a monk for a year before I accepted that maybe I needed to look into medication. My life has probably been dramatically worse than it needed to be due to attitudes to mental illness back then, and to a lesser extent now. I think what you're experiencing here is called something like the fallacy of the beard. Basically you're seeing something that exists on a broad spectrum as the same thing because we don't really have a way to accurately measure the levels being experienced. Let's talk about it in simpler terms. Some type II diabetics (who are still producing some insulin) could survive by adapting their diet and exercising, but they ultimately "choose" to enjoy their food and life the way they want to and take the pills/injections instead. Some other type IIs get away with lifestyle improvements. But there are also type I/plenty of type II diabetics who have to take insulin no matter how "good" they are. As to how long I've been 'wrong in the head', it's complicated, but ultimately as long as I can remember. Oh, and from the description of your own symptoms, I would highly recommend an immediate and heavy dose of ketamine.

I didn't know you were a medical man, Parky. You've really got to the crux of the illness there. Actually no, though. I rarely get any kind of pure depression (or the opposite). I get mixed episodes of both (hypo)mania and depression together. So more like constant negative rushing spiraling thoughts. It's more likely to present as irritability/anger from the outside.

Is it defo accidental?

Imagine if Hitler had been evil enough to drop the Zyklon-b from a greater height! Sickening. That's also the second time he's specified that the Syrians were 'innocent'. Does he need a history lesson?

Came from the hedges and managed to injure someone on the bus (?). Does not sound like firecrackers, but hopefully equally ineffectual.

BBC saying 3 explosions. You'd get very long odds on anything other than FUCKIN' MUZZIES.

http://fox61.com/2017/04/11/spicer-hitler-was-not-using-the-gas-on-his-own-people-the-same-way-that-assad-is-doing/? Just wow. Is this all pantomime to distract us from the coming enslavement of us plebs? How can anyone, any group of people be this consistently incompetent? I'm not buying shrewd dog whistles either.

He was having some kind of argument with the gf and rubbed flora covered toast/bread in her face iirc.

Anything anyone disagrees with is an SJW issue.

That's why you do it 2-3 times a week, not daily. Apparently.

What are these metaphors you speak of?

Doesn't every second movie do something like that? Harry Potter does it ffs.

Could apply to any of us.

Don't think the centre are so much complacent as they are nonplussed.
