Hooray for Sertraline withdrawals

Nowhere near as bad as Seroquel ones, though

I never got withdrawals from Seroquel. It did give me/us the munchies big time though.

What's Sertraline like? Effective?

In every thriller movie there reaches a scene the protagonist inevitably stuns the killer, and for some reason instead of finishing him off right then and there, they instead try to run away and a chase ensues. If they just finished the killer off while he's stunned/down on the ground, it would be over. No one would have to run for their lives. Gah!

Hollywood tropes are really annoying. I want to see a movie for once where the bad guys win, the heroes get killed off, the guy doesn't get the girl, and there's no sequel or whatever that somehow reverses any of this.

Sertraline sucks, but it's better than nothing. Well, actually, I don't know if it is or not. Going off of it improved my creativity and mental clarity, but also made me more prone to being manic. Being back on it, my creativity and mental capacity are dulled, yet I still have problems with anxiety. I dunno. A while back when I went back on it I actually ended up having a panic attack since I started back on too high of a dose. SSRIs don't do it for me, Wellbutrin doesn't do it for me, I wish they would try something different.

i had to go down to circular key to look at it carefully and try to calculate the total mass of the opera house and i am glad i moved on quickly because otherwise i may have come to the attention of paranoid people.

i calculated the opera house weighs 317,000 tonnes (give or take a few)

i will have to look it up soon to see if i was correct, but i am afraid there will be no information about the weight of the opera house on the net.


How much do you reckon Bankstown weighs?

If I could do a big enough crap, I'd be able to tell you to the μg.

I read somewhere that the opera house is a feng shui disaster, saved only by the positive vibes of the millions of patrons which negated the negative.

I actually went on the Opera House tour a month ago and they said how much each of the sails/shells weigh but I can't remember. Some amazing amount. All I know is that they said they needed no structural support despite the weight.

I'd vote "yes" to legalize gay marriage if (pretty sure we'll be having a referendum for such):

someone could tell me that Bob and Bill won't sue for discrimination based on sexual orientation [and win] if a church refuses to marry them based on their beliefs, which ends up with courts forcing the church to do such (which will then apply to all based on discrimination laws), negating The Separation of Church and State.

The importance of such Separation is far more than the individual freedom of gays marrying here (which will take away freedom from another group too with said lawsuit).

If it was written that they could just get government marriage certificates and have ceremonies in institutions that want to do it, then awesome.

Newspaper gets used for lots of things that aren't reading, but when you touch it, you can get ink on your hands. If there is water, it can probably stain things.

They should sell blank newspapers that can be used for anything so you don't have to worry about the ink, or invent some type of printer that you can put newspapers into to remove the ink. The ink could be separated inside the machine and go into a cartridge so it can be used again for other things. It would mean there are no more messy newspapers, no wasted newspapers, saved paper, saved trees and saved money because you wouldn't have to buy ink as often.

i would certainly buy a blank newspaper every day (as long as it had it's logo and date printed on the front page)
i would probably hoard them for years until one of them for some reason became valuable.
