DynagripBreak me a million heartsHoustonRegistered User, ClubPAregular
so yeah, got a verbal job offer. asked them to bump it up a little bit and should hopefully see something in writing by the end of the week. i'm kind of bummed out really. not about the job offer but just having to leave my current job. i really like my bosses and most of my coworkers but i do not like being really underpaid so yeah...
I like the ones where the side effects are way worse than the disease. Like "Do your legs feel restless? Do you cross them, then few minutes later cross them the other way? Have a whateveritis! Side effects may include rectal bleeding, hypertension, and stroke"

my parents are spending their paper on various things such as sail boats and farming. I'm unlikely to have much cash money coming my way after they drown at sea and/or die in a harvester.

re: "I'ma ruin you, cunt"
A simultaneous statement of name-calling (“cunt”), suggesting through yoniphobic language that the female she is speaking to is of lower class, credibility, popularity than her, rightfully, and that she is going to prove this by outdoing her (“ruin you”), while also using colloquial pidgin English substituting the possessive adjective “your” for it’s colloquialization in the pronoun “you” and with the double entendre of “ruin” also having a sexual connotation, she is suggesting that her power assertion will also be an act of sexual “destruction”, i.e. superiority, as is often stated in musical lyrics: “I'ma ruin [your] cunt”. Again this reinforces the power aspect of homosexual shame through the sex act by the agressor/penetrator being the superior agent, untainted by notions of homosexuality as they are destroying (“ruin you[r]”) the weaker party

One of the pills I'm taking increases my chances of heart failure. WELP.
have you ever heard the saying "go to a heart specialist and be diagnosed with a heart condition, a neurologist and get diagnosed with a brain condition"?
because that really applies to dopamine receptors at the moment
my complete speculation is that 70% or more of these correlations will turn out to be non-causative somewhere down the line
Very possible, but here is my current speculation:
DRD4 mutations have been shown to have a small correlation with ADHD and a small correlation with schizophrenia. Well, there is a particular subset of individuals with ADHD who have a set of symptoms called Sluggish Cognitive Tempo (I don't know if you've heard of it before). I definitely have this, and it includes working memory deficits like difficulty with mental math and verbal recall. The thing is, studies have shown that SCT symptoms are not specific to this subset of ADHD. However, what I noticed is that these symptoms are incredibly similar to symptoms exhibited by some schizophrenics. They are also working memory specific issues. I would speculate that DRD4 mutations would show a near perfect correlation with individuals who show these specific symptoms, regardless of their larger disorder.
Though, this is perhaps part of my more general notion that perhaps the way we break up a lot of our mental disorders is incredibly unhelpful in a world where we are getting closer and closer to finding the actual causative factors: if we have a lot of disorders that we define by shared symptoms but not everyone under the disorder umbrella shares all the symptoms, maybe we should be defining our mental dysfunctions by symptom.

luckily my parents have lots of illiquid assets that they will not liquidate
but i will liquidate those assets... once i liquidate the parents
Damn you girl guides! I was looking forward to lounging around on my Friday afternoon in a robe and boxers, but no! You have to go selling your delicious cookies, and more to the point, forcing me to get dressed at the speed of light before answering the door.
I wonder how many self-described Austrians would recognize Austrian capital theory if I presented it to them in a typically Keynesian fashion, e.g., through stylized facts
but really now, "we hypothesize, against evidence, that recessions are caused by excess supply of final and initial goods and excess demand for intermediate goods" just doesn't have the twang of "IT'S PRAXEOLOGICAL!"

sounds not unreasonable

it's hilariously typical of self-righteous, pretentious white college students that a deconstruction like that can have a misspelling and also mistake the possessive form

Blah, stupid capitalism
Congratudolences, Dyna.
I'm sure the new job will be awesome too, though.
Thank you. I really hope so. Gotta roll the dice either way. Also, jail, again?
Of bodies chang'd to various forms, I sing:
Ye Gods, from whom these miracles did spring,
Inspire my numbers with celestial heat;
'Till I my long laborious work compleat:
And add perpetual tenour to my rhimes,
Deduc'd from Nature's birth, to Caesar's times.
Before the seas, and this terrestrial ball,
And Heav'n's high canopy, that covers all,
One was the face of Nature; if a face:
Rather a rude and indigested mass:
A lifeless lump, unfashion'd, and unfram'd,
Of jarring seeds; and justly Chaos nam'd.

Alright, Piracetam ordered, and next day shipping too! I'll let you guys know how it works.
If it works, you'll be too busy finishing your 5 Ph.D.s and solving global problems to post on the forums.
You ought to have said, "If this works, you'll read about me in Time's 'Person of the Year' issue."
Unless you get transient eye and go crazy, of course.

this guys comments are a good example of how US Americans think that they ARE the world, when in reality they are 1 of 200(ish) countries in the world.
Granted i dont think that Apple should stick to just computers (they make surprisingly decent phones/tablets). honestly i would rather Apple Disappear completely.
Chinese only like the iPhone as a status symbol. US Americans are all about practicality (the non-iSheep anyways)which is why Android is catching up locally, even though it has dominated globally.

You're going to have an interesting end-of-term schedule, aren't you?

I feel obliged to do something with this ball of cotton wool, I don't know why
I am going to start drinking shortly in order to balance this equation out.
Or at least help me to stop caring about such discrepancies.
Dog bless all of you! This monkey gone to heaven.

I leave the cotton in the container.
Because that is its home.
