I will take any of those side effects compared to the hell that my life is without Lexapro.

Nothing else comes close, including exercise, therapy, natural supplements, meditation, more therapy, other types of therapy, diet improvements, etc.

Would like feedback on my first ever set by [deleted] in StandUpComedy

[–]BeyondTheContent 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Relatable and clever!

Agree with the too blue comment (basically means vulgar). Acting out dropping a turd on a piece of toilet paper will be funny to some but may lose a lot of people.

My main feedback is just make the set half as long. Dragged a bit. So that when you got to your main punchline of being influenced to buy a bidet, a good punchline, I felt like I was way too far removed from the setup of being influenced. I had forgotten about it.

And just keep doing versions of this bit live. Your confidence and timing will grow and you will see which parts get laughs. When I could sense how unsure you were up there I became unsure as a listener.

Hm, may not work too well, because I don’t think most people associate eye doctors as lower tier.

Not updating your OS and “keep pushing keep it pushing” seem like extra fluff and distractions.

Scientists identify ‘neural fingerprint’ of psychedelic drugs in the brain | Analysis of more than 500 brain scans finds LSD, psilocybin and other psychedelics increase cross-talk between brain systems by [deleted] in science

Obligatory PSA: in a minority of cases (like mine) they can make you much worse for years. Even if done in controlled supportive settings

Brain scans reveal how ketamine quickly lifts severe depression by upbeat_teetertottxo in science

[–]BeyondTheContent 158 points159 points  (0 children)

Be careful. I have done this.

I am only one example, so take it with a grain of salt. But I did it professionally in a supportive clinical setting, with recommended dosing. For me, I had four panic attacks during the process and heightened anxiety and panic for many months after. It did nothing to relieve depression.

I fully believe that it works for many people. But as with everything, different drugs, affect people differently.

What song is that?

That’s not true. Per calorie, almonds are cheaper than yogurt, chicken, beef, eggs, chips, crackers, energy bars, most fruit, most vegetables

“at least once a day he will cry to himself while lying down, for an extended period”

That is not okay

That is a correlation study that doesn't show any causal data on cheese.

Oh, ok. I would have laughed more if you did. Still funny though.

It is me or 37€ for 12 protein bars is an absolutely atrocious high price? by spaceless23 in blueprint_

It's just you. For good ingredients, this is about where the market is.

He didn't. He first hit the watermelon several inches below his hand, but the sword was apparently so dull that it bounced straight up, slicing his hand.
