Open Bar MMXIV^2: Solace of Quantum

I find it starts to get palatable after about the 3rd or 4th one, and goddamn tasty after about the 7th or 8th.

I rarely get drunk, it's bad for my emotional stability.
But antidepressants sort of amp the effects of alcohol, so when I do I am officially hammered on 3 drinks.

This is why I pay extra for tastiness.  I like hard cider, port, mead, berry wines/liqueurs...and oddly enough, a straight whiskey.  Have yet to try black rum by itself, that's on the agenda.

("That's neat rum you're drinking," said Magrat.

"You're telling me," said Nanny, taking a swig. "Cheers!")

I have some insane former Rhode Island representative on Twitter asking me to come on his podcast and discuss Plan B. WHAT DO?

You mean the plan b pill?
...Or something he's come up with?

If he's for the plan B pill, not sure if it would hurt or not.
Get that you have to approve upload in WRITING before he posts the video?

Seems kind of weird.  Is he/she against it?

[Q. G. Pennyworth]

This is the Plan B pill, and he is against allowing 12 year olds to get it because that's "supporting them having sex." We just talked on the phone and he's a pretty stock northeastern libertarian type.

I really don't understand that argument.  At all.  You could always go fuck with him, and tell him he's using his political pull in order to force abused children to be stuck with the consequences of being raped.  That's lulzy AND legit!

Go on his podcast and tell him you don't support men taking heart medications because it might make their dicks hard.

I guess I'm having an anxiety attack.  Or I suck and everyone hates me for real, and I'm going to be a total failure forever, and I will destroy everyone who ever haves a meaningful relationship of any kind with me, even if it's just being close friends. 

I don't know how to calm down, or I don't know how to deal with this.  So, you know.  Posting on a forum is totally going to fix it.

Two things that help me with that :

1. The right kind of nutrition
2. Breathing in a ratio of 1:1:1
In 5 sec, hold 5 sec, breathe out 5 or 10 sec.
Slight pause, repeat.

Gently and smoothly, relaxing my body in the hold.

I feel the way you do a lot.

The trick is to breathe and not allow that demon to take hold.
That feeling is not your friend, breathing is.

I am starting to be concerned that there will be a movie and madly popularize the idea of Discordian witches.

Oh please goddess no.

This board would be overrun by a whole new breed of 'fluffy bunnies'. Just think of all the people you and Dok and y'all would have to punt about.

That might be nice, at least.

I did forget to breathe. 

Thanks.

Yeah, anxiety/panic has been a bitch for me lately, too. It is fucking with an arrhythmia I've had since birth and I do not appreciate it. I do the breathing thing too, except I work on a 4-count.

And I remind myself that hate is an awful lot of energy to waste on someone and most people don't do it that much. And no one is anything forever, we're always changing so there's a pretty good chance I won't keep fucking shit up always.

[Freeky]

Ah, but you forget, there are so many ways to be a complete fuckup!  You could go your entire life without having been even a fraction of all the kinds of fuckups there are!  [/jokey stress managey strategy]


For real though,

Nah.
You're doing the best you can with what you have right now.
It'll never be perfect, but it'll be okay.

Freaking out like this is a sign you are trying to be good, see?
Trying not to hurt people, right?

Sociopaths run through life never questioning themselves, merrily crushing people as they go, and they haven't a care in the world.

You seem nice enough to me, so far.
