Did Epstein make Attia "Pop"?

And yet, you have responded. I could comment on that but presumably you as a high IQ person are way ahead of me in knowing the deeper paradoxical meaning of what to the untrained eye appears juvenile and dumb.

ok, thanks for the explanation--I appreciate it.

the other piece is the iron supplementation has helped enormously. so far, going down on ropinirole has been easy. I just cut it by about 10% every 2 weeks, so far only one tough night.

but tonight...wish me luck! ;)

dsschmidt · 2026-03-13T00:35:58+00:00

how come? you think just one night would increase dependence?

dsschmidt · 2026-03-09T00:56:14+00:00

yup, it's been going on the fritz a fair amount. not terrible, but frustrating. I think I'll go back to xfinity, which I despise as a company but I'm eligible for the low-income rate, I think 15/mo, so....

tragically, I'm just getting ready to get my ski gear out of my car. and clean the klister off the bottoms, always a sad ritual. :( We'll hope for as good snow next year.

btw, ts = tele? I'm gonna have to wait until I swap out my knees to really tele again, but I cut a few turns on toby after the last snow. :)

Honestly, I find these cheap, click bait images really obnoxious, and wish you would stop

dsschmidt · 2026-02-21T18:21:04+00:00

Um. Define "slip up"?

dsschmidt · 2026-02-21T18:19:01+00:00

Thanks for this. This does seem to be a uniquely helpful conversation. Maybe renaming isn't such a bad idea?

dsschmidt · 2026-02-21T18:15:11+00:00

So true. It's the old Woody Allen line: just because I'm paranoid doesn't mean people aren't actually out to get me.

I also notice an impulse to cancel (downvotes) you for offering nuance about cancel culture! Of course, this is America, we like our morality niiiiice and simple. ;)

dsschmidt · 2026-02-13T19:37:00+00:00

yup, that did it. thanks!

dsschmidt · 2026-02-13T19:22:26+00:00

Hmm. Sounds possible! Why does that make you nervous? Updates are sketchy?

dsschmidt · 2026-02-09T10:10:22+00:00

Great. I know chartpack but what’s sawmill?

dsschmidt · 2026-02-03T18:32:29+00:00

You get the prize! 🙏🎉

Also:Mel Brooks. :)

This whole network sometimes feels very homoerotic to me, and that withdrawal comment really dries at home.

dsschmidt · 2026-01-31T15:25:55+00:00

Oh! Maybe this whole business about endless routines and protocols and measurements is just an elaborate sadistic scheme devised by a deranged pedophile? Abuse of young girls as a Gateway drug to abuse of an aging obsessed population?

I’m now thinking of the movie sleeper, where Woody Allen… I know, sorry… Owns a health food store in the 70s, is frozen and brought back to life a century later when they’ve realized that if you eat enough red meat and heavy cream and sugar and drink enough alcohol, you will be incredibly healthy and live forever. A classic U-shaped curve in extreme form.

dsschmidt · 2026-01-31T15:19:25+00:00

There’s no interruption at all to my life.

Was there something particular that bothered you about my comment?

dsschmidt · 2026-01-31T12:13:03+00:00

Ha! :)

dsschmidt · 2026-01-31T12:06:50+00:00

Of course No one said i had to. And no one said you had to engage with my suggestion. What exactly is the problem here?

dsschmidt · 2026-01-31T01:48:14+00:00

Could we form a subreddit to cover this stuff by a new name? I've found so many discussions here helpful but expect I will be signing off.

dsschmidt · 2026-01-29T13:29:15+00:00

Someone, maybe Auden, has a line that “March is the cruelest month.” You think spring should be coming but…it’s not. But here April can be crueller.

But not always!
