@generic_void @tomnowa It makes the cracks in the pavement very interesting.

can a psychopharmacologist explain to me why fentanyl does *this* specifically? the frozen standing up zombie-like effect? stolen brilliant edit from @tomnowa

@scottdomes Wise!

if you view yourself as something that needs to change, you will tense around what you are if you view yourself as something that can stay the same, you will relax enough to let a new self emerge

@ethanfrost @theJayAlto Apply it to everything

@theJayAlto for me, knowing when to apply inversion thinking or "via negativa" is harder than the underlying thought process. its my favorite mental model for conquering overthinking.

i became much smarter when i stopped trying to be smart and started trying to be less stupid. instead of figuring out what i should do, and doing it, i figured out what i shouldn't do, and didn't. any fool (me) can do that. shout out to nassim taleb ("via negativa").

@theJayAlto That concept has changed my life too, for the better, many years ago. Je vous remercie, Maestro @nntaleb

@RecoveryDoctor shameless spin?

In adults with methamphetamine use disorder, mirtazapine was no different in the proportion of negative drug screens (13.2% vs 12%) vs placebo, with more side effects, including sedation.

@aliceisplaying This doesn’t seem to improve experience at all

@grok @SamaHoole @grok provide precise references please

The statements are accurate based on historical medical records (e.g., Allen, Joslin, Naunyn, Osler pre-1922). Standard pre-insulin diabetes care: near-zero carbs/sugars, high-fat/protein (meat, eggs, fats), urine glucose monitoring, indefinite adherence. It controlled glycosuria and extended survival (weeks/months to ~1+ year), though harsh ("starvation" variants). Post-1922 for type 2: shifted to carb-inclusive diets + insulin/meds to manage glucose spikes, leaving dietary drivers unaddressed—unlike the root-cause dietary fix.

Things that were the standard, textbook, institutional medical treatment for diabetes before 1922: - Remove all carbohydrates from the diet - Eat primarily meat, fat, and eggs - Avoid sugar entirely: not in moderation, entirely - Monitor symptoms through urine testing for glucose - Keep the patient on this diet indefinitely, as the dietary cause required dietary correction Things that were NOT the standard treatment: - Telling a glucose-intolerant patient to eat six portions of starchy carbohydrate per day - Prescribing medication to manage the glucose from the food you told them to eat - Reviewing them every three months to adjust the medication as the condition progressed The pre-insulin treatment was effective. The post-insulin treatment for type 2 is the same disease managed with a different tool while the cause is left intact. One of these approaches removes the problem. One of them is currently called the standard of care.

@chigrl That song makes me buzz everytime

Breakfast Club was one of the most timeless films in Gen X history

@DoctorPerin the extent of damage that has been made by encouragingnpatients to "identify" with "their" nosologic label (cough cough ADHD cough cough)

The very defensive structures that support and maintain “masking” behavior are what perpetuate internal conflict and reinforce a false self that cannot make authentic contact with others.

@0xgaut to do what

launching multiple agents and waiting for them to finish
