AWKWARD ZOMBIE

Thanks, Cori, it helps a lot to hear that. I'm mostly feeling better now, thank god, but at the same time I think I needed to hear it.

Switching to new antidepressants and I absolutely hate their name, Wellbutrin Retard. As if I don't suffer that slur enough as it is.

Maybe it bodaciously "slows" the absorption of something, and the name was just poorly translated?

Yeah, I figured it was slows down some process, and the guy who named it just didn't think it through enough.

It's used to often casually or insultingly around me though, that I'm just tired and annoyed. Online I can at least silently report & block people, but can't do anything offline without drawing attention to myself.

I had slow-release tablets that also had 'retard' on the packaging.
I assume it's the chosen medical term for slow-release things.

I'm certain I read something about the word being created as a non-insulting term, but of course people got a hold of it and it became an insult.

I have Asperger's so I'm on the autism spectrum and recently I've noticed 'autistic' being used as an insult.
At this point I see it so much that it doesn't even bother me anymore.

Retard means to hold back something, in your case the medicine would retard its release so it will likely get to where it needs to go intact rather than dissolve too early where it cant do anything, or last longer but leaking instead of letting all the medicine go at once. Retard was construed as an insult to those who's mental facilities are held back relative to other people.

fuck yeah love taking things out of context

Context sucks anyway

hard drive disk shit itself and i've lost a lot of important things :( some stuff was backed up on an external but it hadn't been updated in 3 or 4 years so i've still lost....a lot of stuff. we're keeping the old drive to do a data recovery but since it's so expensive i have no idea when it'll be that i get it all back. games, files, art, photos, rabbitry stuff, the 70,000+ word novel i spent three years writing... all gone.

My dad finally got me a new SD card for my 3ds, but there's something wedged in my SD card slot. I get it out the next day, and I ask my mom where my card is. but she said my dad forgot it in his pocket when he went to work. So I wait for him to come home. Then he calls my mom and says he's staying over at my Grandma's house so he can go to work faster the next day.

It's like everything doesn't want me playing Pokemon moon.

Think I'm getting sick. Ugh.

Ok, ok. Grab a bucket, place it near the vicinity of your current residence of which you are recovering at (couch, futon, bed, etc) and be prepared.

That's not always what being sick involves.

For some reason it is with me. I pray to God I don't get a bloody nose while it happens though, that's when all hell breaks loose.

Finally getting a bit more down time with family stuff settling down. Too bad rain has messed up my sleep schedule and health. ¯\_(ツ)_/ ¯
