    So I've been prescribed medication, and I don't want to take it

    Well then I consider myself fortunate. I don't really understand the liability towards addiction with benzos. Physical dependence, sure. But all they make me feel is tired, and I hate feeling tired all day. There's no euphoria, just fatigue and chunks of apathy. It's not pleasant, but it's...

    So I've been prescribed medication, and I don't want to take it

    I just recently came off Sertraline (known to many as Zoloft) recently after a 2 month bout with it. I've been on many medications for anxiety, and proportionally more anti-depressants than anything else (SSRIs, SNRIs, tricyclics, everything but MAOIs). For me, Sertraline did not work. It...

    Nvidia May Be Revealing the GTX 1080 Next Week

    I've been running a 570 just fine for a while. Smooth, 50+ framerate in pretty much everything. The blessing and curse of cross development, although the curse seems to be far more prevalent. Games are just not pushing the technological envelope anymore. Back when the Radeon 9800 came out or...

    Tracer #Buttgate - Shots fired by professional cosplayer at Heroes Championships

    I believe the correct term would be 'misgynopisthia'.

    Blizzard to Remove "Sexy" Tracer Pose in Overwatch - Update

    Yes, to a degree, and I'm saying that degree of interpretation is considerably higher when basing it off poses and animations. Certainly, that's a fair point. They're not as interchangeable as G.I. Joe #65012. I saw a few of the TF2 character videos when they came out, but it didn't...

    Blizzard to Remove "Sexy" Tracer Pose in Overwatch - Update

    That's right. My point wasn't a jest, just a clarifying observation to those in desperate need of a dictionary, crying 'censorship'. Also, Blizzard can say they were going to remove it all they want, but acting on it after the post (and after responding to the post) makes the stated claim...

    Blizzard to Remove "Sexy" Tracer Pose in Overwatch - Update

    It's certainly not censorship, but there does appear to be external influence on the decision. 'Tis, well said. Without sex, there would be no humans. With no humans, there would be no evil. Join the Anti-Sex Squad. Hm, I see it more as a coy & smug check over the shoulder, as if to say...

    Anti-depressents

    I've documented every medication I've been prescribed & taken over the past 13 years in a nice little document with tables, journal entries, comments and summaries. I've been prescribed 10 different antidepressants in that time. They varied from doing absolutely nothing to endless...

    So, what if we banned Direct to Consumer Advertising in the US?

    One of the main reasons I don't watch TV is because of commercials. They're too annoying and I'm just not buying anything they're selling. They have a vested interest into getting as many people to purchase their products as possible, regardless of the reason for doing so. It's all about...

    Terrible dating advice

    As a dude, recognize that the deck is heavily stacked against you. Be height-weight proportionate, or close to, and get really good a lying. When people say "confidence is key", what they mean is "lie better". Addendum: Being funny, interesting and smart are all useless traits.

    What are some of the worst things?

    Traffic's pretty terrible. I hate driving. Never saw a car as a symbol of freedom and independence, but rather a perpetual stress machine and money sink. Roads and highways around here are designed by overpaid idiots, and they're constantly "being worked on". Gas is expensive just because it can...

    Anybody find sex overrated?

    Yeah, and I'd imagine it'd be somewhat older women looking down on younger, more "sexually liberated" women who mention their sexual soliloquies. I see dudes more 'shamed' for it in the way that people usually don't talk about it without it being sort of jocular, because the subtext seems to...

    Anybody find sex overrated?

    Sex is the epitome of physical pleasure that we can naturally experience (i.e. sans drugs or some sort of artificial, neuro-scientific experiment). Sex is 'overrated' because it's really the only thing that consistently provides pleasure, ideally both emotionally and physically. It's also so...

    Poll: Which "Bad Dish/Bland Dish" Would You Find Unacceptable? Starter, Main Or Dessert?

    I don't care. Unless I'm spending a lot of my money, I can rarely find fault with food. As long as it's edible and it keeps me alive, I don't care. I very infrequently go out to restaurants and I never order dessert. It's happened a couple of times, but I was always with a group of people...

    I'm a Smooth Operator

    Wow, I missed that entirely. The plane didn't just miss the runway, it bypassed the airport completely. That's such an odd logical step for the hairdressers to jump to. I guess it could make sense depending on context. But the way it's conveyed, I just assumed that the hairdressers were...
