I love genuine questions and people putting in the effort to love and understand each other better. If you come at me just wanting to argue I’m going to troll you back. FAFO.

  • Oh yeah when I was young and had an active untreated personality disorder men loved it. It’s like they want to be tortured. Tbf I also pass on a lot dumber bullshit more now that I’ve gotten treatment and chilled out a little. And I found a dude who’s in almost the same exact boat with bipolar 1 to be stably unstable with. So the idiots really don’t get a lot of chances with me anyway.




  • Was watching Fionna and Cake and really getting the feels from Simon Petrikov. Like what if I did just like. Go be mentally ill again. Being a normie with a job isn’t working out great. You know what was great? Hot shower / cold beer. Gonna try therapy one more time but like. Ugh. Please do not bother me with platitudes unless you’ve got $100 to send me monthly to put towards my rent.









  • I feel like the answer is to have all competitions be centralized on special competition computers. You physically travel to a centralized convention or whatever and have to use equipment set up just for the competition that’s been checked for mechanical and software fairness the same as the ball etc get tested for a professional sports game. You can practice at home with whatever software you want but if you want to be properly competitive you’re going to want to practice on an uncracked game (or even cracked against you).


  • Yeah this very much depends on the actual specific number. I work inpatient so I don’t blink at 155 systolic because we’re gonna take it again in 12h and honestly these days the hospitalist says current evidence supports not even treating emergently until 170. The ED actually keeps insisting that 180 isn’t their problem for patients they want admitted to psych. A small dentists office might not be up to date on current best practice for treating hypertension.

    When I interviewed for a CSU they were even like “how would you approach an intake where your new pt has a BP of 180?” and I, coming from the university hospital where I had residents subject to my whims I struggled to come up with an answer that wasn’t “page the oncall I guess?” But I did manage “…tell them to take some deep breaths and take it again…?” which was apparently the right answer???

    150s to me is a GP/PCP’s problem 3 months from now and ultimately they’ll probably just tell the person to start with eating less salt. It also sounds like it was asymptomatic and there’s also the possibility that the doctor just figured she wouldn’t take anything anyway based on this person’s description.
