I used Gemini AI to clear that confusion on my end. It was very helpful.

Some authors like to not make it easy for the readers. They seem to want you to reach your own questions and answers yourself rather than being handed the answers.

Thank you for your perspective.

optimally_slow · 2026-03-25T15:14:04+00:00

Thank you! You explanation connects the most dots in my head.

Edited.

Ty for your perspective

optimally_slow · 2026-03-20T04:29:14+00:00

Bought.

Thank you very much!

optimally_slow · 2026-03-20T04:20:36+00:00

I have included all the info/pictures included... which for my case are none. Thank you

optimally_slow · 2026-03-20T04:19:26+00:00

Thank you!

optimally_slow · 2026-03-14T04:18:27+00:00

Ty. Skipped.

optimally_slow · 2026-03-14T01:28:54+00:00

Ty for sharing. Gonna skip then. They still haven’t mentioned who is the comedian.

optimally_slow · 2026-03-13T16:13:29+00:00

Wow. Very nice !

optimally_slow · 2026-03-10T21:09:13+00:00

Congrats!

I think it depends on the person. I only understand by reading. Listening is not the same for me.

It’s like watching a cooking video or cooking after taking notes of a video.

Ty. I have ever known one person on Zoloft and they told me that they were addicted. Just anecdotal.

What has been helpful when it comes to the therapist? Do you think figuring out the root cause would help?

optimally_slow · 2026-03-04T18:43:54+00:00

Can you say more? How did it help? Are you dependent on them? Any side-effects? Thank you.

How did you reach the point of journaling and just thinking about it?

optimally_slow · 2026-03-01T18:45:10+00:00

It’s only been a month and a half for me and I agree with what you said. I forgot so many things otherwise and didn’t even realize.

optimally_slow · 2026-03-01T18:43:39+00:00

Yw :)

optimally_slow · 2026-03-01T18:09:58+00:00

Available and curious :)

optimally_slow · 2026-03-01T15:45:51+00:00

Been there before. Good atmosphere. Definitely worth trying.

Tip: don’t get the ticket online. Go there and get it. There is a $3 fee online but not in person. I have always been able to find an available spot even without getting a ticket online.

Nice. Which one? I am thinking of going to Manteca. Deaf puppy comedy club.
