Always looking for new music.

Is this a side for a meal, or a dessert?
I’ve never attempted to make bagels before but these make me want to try.
I have been on SSRIs for 20 years. For me they’re a good idea, but I’ve known others who have had a terrible time with them.
Sexual dysfunction is definitely a thing: how much of an issue that will be is going to be a personal decision on weighing up pros and cons. If your sex drive is low as a part of your depressive symptoms or you’re already experiencing anhedonia (inability to feel happiness/pleasure) or anorgasmia (inability to achieve orgasm) then going on SSRIs isn’t going to make that any worse. But for others the risk of missing sexual pleasure might be an unacceptable trade-off.
For anyone starting SSRIs I think it’s best to go slowly and keep in touch with your primary doctor throughout the process. There are a number of SSRIs available, and if one doesn’t work out you can try others, and hopefully land on one that works for you.
With all that said, SSRIs don’t work for everyone. It’s not unusual to feel weird or like things are getting worse when you first start them: it takes some time for the effects to settle. But if you’re having a really bad time on them, speak to your doctor about alternatives.
Can’t wait to see a black forest gateau salad.
This absolutely screams “I was zooted on lithium when I came up with this” 🫤
I love how fast and loose this plays with the definition of “salad”.
No problem! It’s basically a service for people to sell used clothing/items, but they have a very good delivery guarantee.
Do you have Vinted in your country? I’ve bought used vinyl through it and I’m really happy with the experience so far.
It’s not dedicated to vinyl sales though and the availability of things you’re looking for will be highly variable. But I picked up an original pressing of David Bowie - Low via Vinted for a fair price.
It looks like Blackpool, UK.
One of us! one of us!
I love the Fincher-directed video for “Judith” by A Perfect Circle.
Other favourite music videos:
It’s all metric until the final part 😭
It’s still one of my favourite albums.
That looks amazing! He should be proud.
You know, I love those albums where they fucked around did things like hard-pan all the drums to the right channel. I’m here for the experimentation.
That’s a nice haul!
👍🏻
I’ve always thought “separate the art from the artist” should be a conversation, not a hard and fast rule. I’ve never heard White Freckles so I don’t really have an opinion on this. But if the track is meaningful and brings beauty to people’s lives, that’s valid despite the artist being a piece of shit.
There are some artists where I feel the artist’s behaviour does not outweigh the impact of their work on my life, for example Eric Clapton, but there are other artists where I feel their work stands up despite the artist’s actions (Prince, David Bowie).
I don’t know anything about its effect on fertility. I know people who have conceived while on SSRIs, but that’s purely anecdotal.
It’s going to be a judgement call on your part. SSRIs have been in use for long enough that I would expect there’s a big pool of data around fertility rates, even if it’s not had much analysis done on it. Also, rat models are useful but need to be understood in their context. One study in rats is not overwhelming evidence.
