    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    Not Classic, but they're doing a Remix event (similar with what they did with MoP) where it's a fuck-around, get overpowered as shit version of the expansion and a good way to get cosmetics, transmogs, mounts, etc.

    Health Problems

    I'm just nervous about switching to something else. Naturally, I'd rather not be on any medications at all, but I at least know the Xarelto hasn't given me any weird side effects and shit over the past couple years I've been on it. Worried I'll switch to something that has some other formula...

    Xarelto. GoodRX doesn't really do anything for it, last I checked. Going to try their patient assistance program again now that I have insurance and see if it changes anything.

    Health Problems

    Had picked up some health insurance to try and help with the cost of my blood thinners. Says $25 copay for drugs without needing the deductible met. Cool. With the financial assistance, was able to bring that plan down from $600/mo to $200/mo. Not bad until I can get something from a job...

    Health Problems

    I passed out once after donating blood (fucking pussy) and I guess I was out for a minute or so. I swear to god, I’ve never felt more refreshed in my life then when I came back after that. I’d pay money to make that happen on a nightly basis.

    I'm so sorry. You've been a massive help to me in this thread and it makes me sad to see you now going through this similar bullshit. I'd try to give some (probably useless) advice or some feel good shit, but I feel like you'd be able to do that a lot better than I ever could. I'm rooting for...

    Depression

    FWIW, that's what I was put on back in 2014/15. Only side effects I had was just some weird sleep for a bit (not that my sleep's ever been normal...). Got off of it after about 6 months or so just tapering off and had no issues there, either.

    I use Max for pretty much anything live weather. Was interesting watching this thing just sitting there then just start zooming on up.

    Did you go to NRG on Bridge Day? I believe that was last week. Though, I guess if you did, it would have been busy as fuck on there. Would love to make it down there someday. Did a little nature hike today at a nearby preserve.

    General Gaming News and Discussion

    I remember I did big batch purchases from the Secret Shop for a bunch of board members a couple times (maybe during the Rerolled era? Fuck, that was a long time ago). I randomly found a guildmate in the line for the shop at TI4(?) and we spent a miserable 7 hours together outside in the line...

    General Gaming News and Discussion

    Man, the early Internationals at Benaroya or whatever were awesome. I remember I got this item live during a match and your name would pop up during the event on the screen there with what you won. Was pretty dope. The event in general was so cozy, since the venue was smaller. Went to one or...

    Yeah, was a similar experience today on the other end for the hike. Looked like a no kings protest, but everyone was nice, picked up some trash, and learned about some native plants and birds. I guess it’s the Sierra Club, so not sure what else I expected, but still was fun, relaxing, got some...

    Depression

    Was only two teams there, so small crowd: one family group and a pair of young couples. The couples team let me join them. Ended up winning (I managed to get the entire movie category correct since it was all 90s and earlier shit). They were nice but damn I feel old. The four of them were all...

    Think this all probably belongs in the health issues thread now, but anyway I just bought a shitload of activia and miralax, so maybe the spirit of Jamie Lee Curtis will bless me, wish me luck. I'm making an effort not to be a pussy and am going to try going to a trivia night tonight at a...

    Whats rustling your jimmies?

    I mean, I always pull in forward because I'm lazy, but I would think it'd be safer to pull out forward for visibility, especially if you have big ass fuckers on either side of you. And, I don't even know why this triggered me so fucking hard last night, but my student loans are on forbearance...

    Depression

    I mean, I did that too, but prepping for it was considered "too much work" so now I have hemorrhoids which is just one more item on the list of why I feel broken and how no one is going to want me.

    Depression

    FWIW, I’ve been depressed long before I ever got put on birth control (depressed since I was 9, didn’t get on BC until I was 28) and even if I wasn’t on it, my life’s still a bag of shit and I’d probably feel the same way. I also sometimes feel like chicks get put in a no-win situation on this...

    Monthly bullshit won't happen without it thanks to the tumor (also didn't want kids anyway).

    Depression

    Nah, I do my best to not take any shit unless I have to. Right now that's tumor meds, blood thinners and the birth control. Sometimes I just stop pooping; don't know if it's just a stress thing.

    Depression

    It's what I would prefer to do if possible. Parents have also said multiple times "don't worry about the house" and that they're not going to let me lose it. This of course just makes me feel more guilty because I don't want them covering for me like that. I know they've always just tried to...

    Attended some online depression support groups yesterday and today.

    Depression

    I already feel like a failure even considering it (among other things) and I’ve told them as much. Just also seems unnecessary to burden them when I have a perfectly good place to live already. I also don’t mind the not having to give a fuck since there’s no one else here, but I’m not sure if it...

    Depression

    I had talked to my parents again about moving in with them when they were up here. They seemed super gung-ho about it, but then once I asked about it again, they kind of backed off on it, wanting me to wait it out and see if I feel better after a few months and also concerned about me having too...

    Still just getting by day to day, but still feeling pretty dumpy. Went to the Highland Festival with my parents for a bit, which was nice, but I do kind of feel like a bit of a loser being a lone grown ass adult hanging out with my parents. Had tried to get info on that support group and the...

    Knocked out a couple of movies young me wanted to see but never got to: Reign of Fire: heard this was a pile of shit and it didn’t disappoint. Fucking awful, lol. Labyrinth: weird as hell but entertaining. Obviously would have made more of an impact as a kid, I’m sure. I’ll give it bulge/10.

    Broke down and got one. Lovely little build and really neat putting all the components together inside it. The buttons are also a blast to just fuck with.
