DeLorean, I'd buy one of those almanacs, and also travel to the past and wager big bucks on
Buster Douglas!

You would do better if you took that wager and put it all in bitcoin at its inception. If someone had invested $10 in Bitcoin in 2010 when it was worth about $0.0001, that investment would be worth approximately $3 billion today,

I actually considered investing in Bitcoin back in 2012 oh well -- coulda - shoulda - woulda -- didn't

Now I'm curious who else dropped by yesterday except for me. Unless I'm the one you're referring to?

Edit: Nah! Checked the stats on the picture, and that most definitely wasn't me.

He was posting everywhere but here, that's why 73 messages

It is only my opinion, and I'm not expert, but what do you suggest people with depression do? Do not trust anyone?
Of course there are lots of incompetent psychologues and psychiatrists, but you have to start at some point trusting somebody. And yes, medication is not a cure, but maybe, some day, a window of opportunity is good enough to save a life. And good enough sometimes is a lot.

Making a suggestion in the first place is arrogant at best.

That said.. the best place to start is a hospital.

See if what you're experiencing is the result of genetic issues, chemical imbalance, etc.

If it's not a chemical imbalance, then you can't be treated.

Unless it's fixing a chemical imbalance, medication can provide you with a distraction. A temporary reprieve, but nothing more than that.

In such a case, only you can make a difference. That was the case with my wife - nothing wrong genetically. Every issue was experienced.

A truly benevolent psychiatrist or psychologist can help but the chances of finding one of those with truly benevolent intentions is near zero in my experience.

If in such a situation you just hold on for as long as you can.

Resting, my ass! You're sitting there being lazy just letting poor old Geralt do all the heavy lifting.

Oh, don't you know she's the chosen one? The heir of Falka? The princess of Cintra and the only daughter of Emhyr, the white flame, the emperor of Nilfgaard? She can rest as much as she wants.

Hello everyone. I am back

Hi Ciri!, welcome back, and good to see you.
How are you doing?

 

[Ciri]

Resting, my ass! You're sitting there being lazy just letting poor old Geralt do all the heavy lifting.

I am fixing my silver sword. New hunt will be tomorrow

Oh, don't you know she's the chosen one? The heir of Falka? The princess of Cintra and the only daughter of Emhyr, the white flame, the emperor of Nilfgaard? She can rest as much as she wants.

Thank you Poldek. My friends will understand me

Hi Ciri!, welcome back, and good to see you.
How are you doing?

I am fine Slumdum, how about you

 

[MattShizzle]

What if you COULD travel in time - but only ahead and only 30 seconds? And couldn't use it more than once a day.

 

[uncbuck]

Orwell's what? Why?

Given the audience here it could be either Animal Farm, 1984 or Down an Out in Paris and London. But I would bet -- actually just my choice - Animal Farm -- cause I like Pigs

Can you please give an example? Like the whole game is done by AI?

Mainly the artwork, but really any AI. My main gripe is that the characters aren't consistent across the story last I played one.

@Slumdum how do I get your emotes?

We've got a fun theme today!

Yeah, I remember checking what a bitcoin is and thinking: should I buy 100? it is less than a coffee. Then 'ah, what for?' And closing the browser.

Maybe I'm arrogant. I'm sorry if that's the case. My experience with depression is mine, and I think it was mild. Maybe you are right, but you have to start somewhere. Is it better to try to survive by yourself?

Titles and tits don't make the Witcher. Witching is hard work, and considering Geralts deck of love cards he must constantly be hard. Ciri does not have those bragging rights.

Now I'm even more intrigued.

Geralt also likes polishing his sword, but he does it in the field.

I'm going to re-iterate that last line..

On September 11th, when the Trade Towers were hit in the US, my kids were still pretty young but saw on TV the people in the towers jumping from the windows to commit suicide.

No one in their right mind could condemn a person for choosing between a quick death and a slow one. If flames were melting your flesh from behind, the faster death of jumping would seem like mercy.

Depression, no matter the cause, is much the same,

Those invisible flames lick at your flesh until you can't endure any longer.

..no one should ever be judged for such a choice, but I can say as living proof: Hope is not worthless.

There is always the opportunity for a brighter day and if I'd been seconds faster than my wife, I wouldn't be typing this message. I'd be a dead man on the sandy shore of a lake that virtually no one gives a single shit about but me and her.

He also has a deck of Gwent cards for a different kind of work

(Just to make it clear for anyone who reads this, this is just my experience and it may not be the same for others)
I usually don't talk about it, but at least on my case it was exactly like that, and the external help didn't manage to change it. Of course, it's something that doesn't just dissapear completely, and it sometimes comes back, but I've learned to "accept" (don't really know if that word would be the best for what I mean, but don't know a better way to explain it) some of those thoughts as part of my own, and when it does come back, it's never as bad as it was before.

(don't know if I explained me correctly because it's in English, but just wanted to add my own experience)

Well, the pigs in animal farm are not very likeable, I would say. They are bad pigs.

If I remember well, at the end of the books, is Ciri who saves the world. So she can brag all she wants.
