The brain is a helluva drug
i’m literally high on my brain 24/7
Saw something similar.
Two groups getting UBI. One group had to jump through hoops to get the money; talk to social workers, prove they were looking for work, etc. The other group just got a check, no questions asked.
The group who got a check without questions had better overall mental health than the ones who were monitored.
The first group being monitored were not receiving UBI because UBI comes without any bullshit justifications or monitoring.
I checked with a an acquaintance who has a Master’s degree in English.
They said that in this context, the use of ‘UBI’ is perfectly cromulent.
cromulently technically incorrect lol
cromulent>
From Omicron Persei 8?

It’s sad when people are so caught up in reading fantasy that changes in reality elude them.
Lmfao! Wild that you thought an abstract joke means I have no understanding of the word I am poking fun at.
Dont worry about them, just keep reading your futurama books
Or I just enjoy the fact that ‘cromulent’ went from being a Simpsons gag to a respectable word?
>elude
You mean like the ability you get in Final Fantasy XIII?
that actually might be a real thing, though. after all, once you realize you’re on LSD, you immediately stop hallucinating

Completely stopping hallicinations was not my experience with LSD.
Being told the hallucinations were not real made them less intense without them going away completely. Like hallucinated flashing lights might become more subdued but still pulsing. A hallucinated smoke monster might be less intense, but would seemingly shrink in size and closer to the actual smoke.
Then there was an LSD effect where I knew my vision was impacted and things would kind of shift and move and change. An orange pulsing like a heart, the wallpaper shifting and moving, and the carpet blooming like spring flowers all come to mind. Completely aware all were hallucinations at the time and just enjoyed them.
Oh I know, that was a joke. Obviously you don’t stop hallucinating when you know you’re on drugs. I said that because…well. this might be the paranoia talking…but sometimes I wonder if I’m actually not even bipolar, I just have something else that looks just like it, which is why all these bipolar drugs have done nothing more than make me a drooling zombie with no hobbies, emotions, or interests. At least now I have a legitimate reason for why I haven’t worked for the last ten years.
I do wonder if tism gets misdiagnosed as bipolar sometimes (especially in women).
That’s my theory. One of the doctors at the hospital I was at told me about how sometimes ASPD gets mistaken for bipolar disorder. If that’s the case, then I seriously need to read about what happens when you give an autistic person bipolar meds.
ASPD is an interesting take from a medical professional to catagorise a autistic person. Id gently suggest maybe find a doctor with a more up to date take on neuro divergence. I hope you can find some support its a hard road to walk.
Thanks for the advice! I was tested for the 'tism about two years ago. If I told them about the ~90,000 hours I’d spent attempting to correct my posture from 2000-2025, I definitely would’ve been diagnosed, LMAO. I already had 3 out of the 4 clinical markers they were looking for, they needed 4 to diagnose
Its a pleasure. Take what i say with a grain of salt as my own experiences will probably differ. Does your country follow the DSM 5? That sounds a bit odd. My diagnostic process had a full spectrum iq test then put through a 1hr 30min diagnostic process based off early childhood development, education markers etc.
Happened with my wife, although the mood stabilizers help regardless.
ASD is a pretty broad term for a diverse mental state. Sometimes a treatment for some other ‘disorder’ will work for an ASD person. Its good to hear your wife has found something that works for her. What helps me manage my sensory issues and by proxy mood is cannibis (luckily im in a country that allows legal access). But i probably wouldnt have to take meds at all if the world wasnt a sensory hell hole and even though it benefits me it might not benefit another person. The biggest help though. Having love support and understanding when things are tough.
That’s kinda how my wife discovered she was autistic.
I’ve read a little bit about the overlap between ASD and ASPD with psychopathic traits. In some ways they’re very similar, but in other ways, they’re polar opposites.
