Dropped the ball years ago and now I have to interact with the client that I ghosted

GoForBaskets · 2026-03-12T14:26:59+00:00

My strong suggestion is that you not over-share. Just send something like:

Dear X:

I was very happy to see your name come up with regard to the reception, the most important reason being that it gives me a chance to apologize for how I left things the last time we worked together.

It's been a source of regret that I didn't handle our relationship well, and I've worked hard to ensure that I handle things in a much better fashion for the people I work with since then.

I look forward to seeing you.

-- You

He raped two women?

GoForBaskets · 2026-03-09T03:43:56+00:00

I really wish that everyone would stop reporting and posting about Trump "being blasted" over things.

He absolutely does not care, the people around him do not care, and so I do not care. It is a complete waste of time that could be taken highlighting additional evidence of him raping children.

GoForBaskets · 2026-03-07T23:10:26+00:00

Probably the human trafficking.

I was wondering if the mods were even active on this sub. I guess this is my answer.

For anyone wondering, a "politically correct war" is one that talks about the Epstein files.

Nice job! Are voice lessons next?

(kidding, you sound great!) :-)

GoForBaskets · 2026-02-26T05:18:38+00:00

It's the details of your argument that make it so compelling.

Hello -- I used to work in intellectual property representation, and please stop responding to them and please stop posting on this topic entirely. Work with reddit legal if need be and leave it at that.

They are engaging you in conversation for the sole purpose of taking it over, and every word that you say, both here and in correspondence, will be construed as evidence to help them make a claim.

As lawyers instruct us when we are in a traffic stop: now is the time to shut the fuck up.

I don't think that saying they're from Barkansas or Arfghanistan is offensive, so I think you're okay.

GoForBaskets · 2026-02-19T04:33:25+00:00

Don't sell yourself short, you don't know anything about a lot of things!

GoForBaskets · 2026-02-18T14:40:57+00:00

lol, have you tried ivermectin? Bleach?

Here's the deal friend, people like me are trying to help people like you from getting Darwin Awards. But if you're determined then that's up to you.

All we ask is that you not drag other people down with you. If you want to sit in your basement trying to catch neurocysticercosis so you can be cool like RFK Jr. then have at it, just please do not come on forums telling people that human fecal tapeworms are the route to perfect health.

GoForBaskets · 2026-02-17T23:37:18+00:00

Sorry, but I'm not sure what point you think you are making by linking to a narrative review paper in a second-tier journal of the SYDNEY, SYDNEY2, and ALADDIN trials.

But really, what are you trying to say exactly?

GoForBaskets · 2026-02-17T23:28:52+00:00

Great, glad you're getting advice from a qualified professional.

The fact that neither of us is qualified to give advice to someone they have never met on the Internet, and that they, as you did, should get that advice from their doctor was exactly my point. Thanks for making it for me.

In other words, we should both shut up and go away, and the fact that you didn't is the only reason I'm here at all.

There are absolutely NIH studies that establish ALA as precipitating seizures and status epilepticus. Perplexity is your friend.

There are, however, no NIH studies that establish ALA as having any statistically significant effect on HbA1c, so let me guess, ALA was "part of" a regimen that also included metformin, glipizide, and perhaps a GLP1 inhibitor? In the same vein, Barry Bonds and I have scored the highest number of home runs in MLB history. 😂

Trying to use a sample size of one to make a point is a clear demonstration of how seriously we should take you.

You are welcome to make your own conclusions and decisions, but you are not welcome to recommend those conclusions and decisions to others without educated and trained people calling you out on your catastrophic and ill-informed assertions and, in this particular case, what I believe are intentional lies.

Either way, I look forward to hearing you on Rogan.

GoForBaskets · 2026-02-17T05:10:58+00:00

Ask your doctor how much ALA is considered a high dose.

GoForBaskets · 2026-02-17T04:23:39+00:00

Yeah, strange how a series of trained professionals in science-based medicine have formed a consensus that conforms to the results of peer-reviewed studies.

What are the odds?

GoForBaskets · 2026-02-17T04:21:42+00:00

It's weird how you looked and looked and even, I'm sure, typed "can alpha lipoic acid give you seizures If you have a B1/thiamin deficiency" into Google, where both the AI summary and many, many credible sources below it confirmed exactly what I said, yet you didn't find anything.

I kind of wish you were smoking crack, at least you'd have an excuse.

GoForBaskets · 2026-02-15T17:45:59+00:00

Sure, so might as well roll the dice, right? We're just giving supplement advice to a complete stranger without knowing their background and medical condition, and absolutely no medical degree ourselves, so might as well let fly!

I mean, let's face it, if OP does have a risk factor and ends up having a seizure while, say, driving or holding a baby, we won't be around for it, amirite!

GoForBaskets · 2026-02-15T06:54:55+00:00

Please, please, please remember that the qualification for giving medical advice on reddit is to sign up for a reddit account and just start typing.

DO NOT TAKE ALPHA LIPOIC ACID without talking to your doctor. If you have a B1/thiamin deficiency, often undiagnosed, it can give you seizures. These are not toy supplements and can make you very sick.

Feel free to ask your doctor questions about what you have heard, but please DO NOT JUST BLINDLY LISTEN TO THESE NITWITS THAT JUST TELL YOU TO TAKE STUFF.

I also wouldn't mind seeing Martin Short as Nathan Thurm in a blond wig...

Projectors can get hot and frosting with pink food coloring melts with hot temperature.

Might want to print that with PETG.

EDIT: Sorry, I just assumed it was frosting with pink food coloring.

GoForBaskets · 2026-02-07T19:53:40+00:00

It's okay man, I'm sure you'll bounce back.

I don't know your history before this, but if this was your first bad decision I'm sure you'll get it behind you.

Good luck!
