"Remember Europe"? Silly me, I always thought Russia was in Asia.
The Urals are the standard divide.
Divide your standards where you will, laddie.

The vast majority of Russia lies to the east of the Urals, as does Ekaterinburg, a name which might or might not mean something to a student of history. Most of Russia is inarguably not Europe. Russia is 70% of the area of Asia. Nothing wrong with that; it's just the way it is.
And yet “Russia” is culturally far more European than Asiatic in nature. Such a wonderful land of contrasts.

The largest mosque in Europe is in Russia, a wonderfully diverse country. :P

Ah, I'm sorry. I hadn't placed you in the camp where one's feelings override facts. So if I am to understand correctly, Russians, living in Asia, can identify as 'Europeans'?
Tomorrow I shall identify as Australian and present myself at the nearest Australian consulate and ask for a passport. (Actually, I won't, going to the dentist to fix a root canal appeals to me far more (seriously, given the pain!))

PS nothing like gratitude....a small town sponsors two families of refugees who then feel they are too good to stay in such an economically hopeless community.

https://nationalpost.com/news/canada/se ... sored-them

Oh, I know about economic migrants, being one myself. The difference being that no Canadian was willing to work 1 in 2 in the middle of nowhere, and I stayed there for thirty years as I felt I had to do so. So fuck me again, with even more restrictions applicable this time.

You’re right. The graphs irrelevant and Russian state nationalism, while an exotic fusion, is clearly rooted in the Orient. Silly me. That much was obvious from even a cursory glance at the Romanovs. And Australia, as a country, had its cultural roots geocentred on the Simpson Desert.

I would imagine someone living right of the Urals would identfy as “Russian”. With all that entails.

Wait, are you suggesting that if a different people take over a place and rule to their values instead of the previous owners, the fundamental nature of that place changes to the point it can no longer be considered the part of the greater area still run by the previous owners?

The thing is that Ramzan isn't really a bad muslim. Like a good Russian Christian he really hates gay people, and has even gone the extra mile and aggressively trying to round them up and you know. Like his pal Putin he is a fan of the martial arts and murdering journalists and political opponents.
He pledges allegiance to Mother Russia and I'm pretty sure he has stopped illegal immigration into Chechnya.
Alt right utopia!

Hi Pitters --

I came of Sertraline (Zoloft) earlier this year -- my own decision, I got so bad at remembering to take it that I decided there wouldn't be much difference if I stopped taking it altogether. Same in fact with the Lialda, which I was on for ulcerative colitis.

However, in recent weeks I've found myself alternating between paranoid rage and bouts of tearful self pity, sometimes culminating in thoughts that my family would be better off without me. I've talked this through with the wife, and we've agreed that I'm nuts, and that stresses at work (where I feel completely undervalued) are likely also playing a role.

But should I go back on the Sertraline? Is this my old problems resurfacing (although my issue was mainly anxiety), or is this some kind of fucked up delayed withrdrawal? Obviously I need to talk to a health professional, but I'd appreciate hearing from the Pit, which contains both experts and those who've been down this path myself.

(No need for sympathy -- got plenty of that during my recent ER trip, ta very much!)

There are so many mood drugs out there that I would just ask, why settle for something you were so unenthused about you forgot to take it? The new mode seems to be for doctors to try drugs briefly, two or three weeks, then switch to another one if no results are apparent. So you can work your way through quite a few drugs in a short period of time. As far as I know, there are no crystal balls, just trial and error. I can't speak to the "paranoid rage" part. For that your should definitely consult someone who knows what they're doing, and that probably means a specialist (psychiatrist).

I would just say good luck getting good public officials if part of the job description is having to be sequestered from the very public you are supposed to serve. Pretty sure this form of direct democracy is not what the founders were thinking of. I don’t know that I like it either. Don’t like Pruitt? Vote. I don’t want this woman who has easy easy access speaking for me. Why does she get a privilege voice over a voter out west?

Guardian literally murdering transfolk:
There is no single cure for unhappy girls, but as adults it is up to us to teach our children that one does not need to change one’s body to reject socially imposed gender stereotypes. Girls can swing from the trees like monkeys and plait their own leg hair; they can play with tea sets and measure their life in lipsticks; or they can do all of the above simultaneously, if they so please, and none of this has anything to do with their bodies, biology or brain colour. Biological sex goes deeper than leg hair.

Its lightweight, over the counter stuff, but I've used Theanine to good effect. Specifically, products containing "Suntheanine". It works for anxiety & is cheap enough to be worth trying. Of course, if the problem is bad enough, heavier stuff will be necessary.

Is that extra or included in the $750?

.......

Interesting SMH story on Sydney.
This was a “no” to not just the destruction of heritage buildings, but a revolt against a government deciding what your neighbourhood will look like and who will profit from it. All across Sydney people feel underserviced, overcrowded, dwarfed by high-rises, squished into train carriages, smothered by streets flooded with cars and crammed onto toll roads.

Willow Grove is only one of many speed bumps in the government’s quest to flatten and rebuild Australia’s largest city. It’s not too soon (nor too late) to ask what the future of Australia looks like. Can our governors imagine an Australia that goes beyond a dormitory for property investors, a quarry for multinational mining corporations and a beach for tourists?

This. We often hear “never apologise to a SJW”

Well this. This is how you do it.

https://www.news.com.au/national/politi ... f5cad060a6
Senator David Leyonhjelm has rejected a legal demand from Senator Sarah Hanson-Young to apologise, saying his opponent “is wasting her time”.

The Liberal Democrats senator knocked back the latest demand he say sorry to Ms Hanson-Young, which came with an order for financial compensation, in their continuing battle over alleged sexist remarks.

*is on, is what I have edited out.

I may be biased against Hanson-Young, because I found her crying on demand insufferable when she was Greens immigration spokeswoman.

I really don’t see a big deal here. Crass, vulgar, maybe. But sexist on the pathway to violence? That’s moonbat territory.

"If the girl is a Cossack ..." then she got to have a shashka (Cossack sabre)



I wonder if this is a new thing ... hmmm ...this article titled Women of the Cossack Resurgence states that:
The Cossack revival began in 1991 with the collapse of the USSR, as small groups of men and women began to resurrect their historic role as defenders of Russia’s Southern borders and the Orthodox Church.
...

Historically, only the wives of Cossacks were allowed to join the military formation, but as they have adapted to modern life all women are now welcomed, as are men, regardless of ethnic origin or whether they have Cossack heritage.
I hear those sabres are sharp enough to shave with.

It’s a bullshit power play. It always is.

She should be ashamed leveraging the concerns of the deranged for ideo-benefit.

I've no plans to attend, and also missed Sargon's live 'This Week in Stupid' in New York (at US $125 a head). I'm reminded of Robin Williams thoughts on concaine addiction - to whit it being gods way of telling you you have too much money.

But good luck on your crowdfunding...

'Taking over' =/= opening a few kebab shops.
I think that's where you're wrong.

Speaking from experience:

Here in my city, muslims act thus: first they find a café or bakery or fast-food joint that sells coffee. Then they band together and hang out in front of it all day, sipping their caffeinated beverages, giving angry looks at customers until people are too uncomfortable to enter the premises. The shop owner goes bankrupt and the muslims buy the place at a very low price. This almost happened at the bakery my father owns just downstairs from my flat. Next thing, it's now a kebab or halal grocery place or phone service for Maghreb low-cost calls. It's actually happened on a massive scale near the Nice main train station, a neighborhood I sadly have to go to often because that's where my motorbike's shop/garage is. They are one of the rare businesses there that haven't folded yet. Once the muslims are settled, they open a mosque (legal or illegal) and declare the neighborhood "Terre d'Islam", a status that, according to them, can never be revoked. And non-muslims are very unwelcome there. Incidentally, it's the neighborhood in downtown Nice with the highest level of criminality (I usually ride faster than normal when I have to pass through it after dark. Just a few weeks ago, a woman just driving through there was shot, probably a loose bullet).

There, my two cents.

Seems to me that two weeks back on the sertraline would answer your question in a pragmatic fashion. The natural history of anxiety is that it progresses to depression, especially if not treated or if under-treated. A brain that lives in fear eventually gets overwhelmed and goes down the black spiral, and you seem to be talking about irritability, which is the first and most sensitive marker of falling mood. We all know the feeling of having to walk on eggshells when interacting with depressed people - they are so irritable, and it's the reduction in irritability that is the first thing people notice when they respond to anti-depressants, and it's noticed by those around the patient long before they feel it themselves. It's also true that people who respond to SSRI's often find their effectiveness waning with time, in which case a switch to an SNRI usually works, although they take longer to start showing effects. If the sertraline helps but incompletely it would make sense to look at venlafaxine or the like.
It may be that your recent issue with palpitations will turn out to be anxiety related, using Occam's britva. If you are lucky the UC may stay in remission, though it does tend to relapse sooner or later. Don't play games with that if it comes back, as UC can go quite nasty.
My statement about anxiety progressing to depression isn't based on a theoretical model, really, just the well-known observation that a ten year follow-up of those with an anxiety diagnosis shows they will almost all have been diagnosed with depression as well in the interim.

As i've mentioned here before, I was on Sertrline (aka Lustral as it was in the Uk) when I had my clinician depression in the 90s, triggered partly by my Dad's death ( I was 29 , he was 66) from cancer (though other past factors made me vulnerable to depression which I wont go into) . Anxiety was part of my diagnosis.
Having previously tried Moclobemide, an SSRI (not available in the US) my feeling was that drug therapy didnt seem to make a lot of of difference to me (I had several years of counselling as well ) but it's hard to know how worse you might be off than on, . I decided to stop the Sertraline because I had the unfortunate side effect of anorgasmia - I couldnt even enjoy "self love" which was one of the few measures I had at the time. Apparently the part of the brain the drug affects is quite close to that which controls orgasm and sometimes there is unwanted cross over. I came off the Sertraline without any noticeable side effects that I can recall.
Even at my lowest low, I never had any realistic suicidal thoughts - but its partly because I somehow deep down knew that would hurt people and being still barely alive but miserable as hell - was to me, a way of "containing" the depression, So as not to "bother other people" with it . or being guilty or embarrassed by the state I was in, though my reflex was to withdraw anyway.

Anyway maybe going back to Sertraline or trying another to see if works for you. Try to get stabilised then address the work etc situation. But talk to your Doc , one size rarely fits all.

So on the subject of drugs...since this is where we are.

Does anyone think I should follow JP's example and try psychedelics?

Wait, are you saying that's isn't how normal people act?

I would say you might want to check in to a mental hospital for a week or so. We had to do that with my oldest son and as painful as it was for us it helped out a lot. If I had the insurance and was comfortable being away from the kids I would totally do it myself.

There is no single cure for unhappy girls, but as adults it is up to us to teach our children that one does not need to change one’s body to reject socially imposed gender stereotypes. Girls can swing from the trees like monkeys and plait their own leg hair; they can play with tea sets and measure their life in lipsticks; or they can do all of the above simultaneously, if they so please, and none of this has anything to do with their bodies, biology or brain colour. Biological sex goes deeper than leg hair.
https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfr ... ink-v-blue
As an adolescent, I was terrified of becoming a woman. In part this was because I believed the gender stereotypes. Being a woman, I thought, meant wearing makeup and high heels; men expecting things from me that I in no way wanted to give them. Being a woman seemed limiting and terrifying, and definitely not me. So as soon as I started to go through puberty, I starved myself until I looked safely asexual and boyish again. That was my solution, in 1992, to avoiding being a woman.
How come all sorts of disorders and pathological behavior are said to derive from gender nonconformity , but the gender nonconformity itself is always causa sui?
In Nanette, her excellent new standup show on Netflix, the comedian Hannah Gadsby ...
Why am I getting an Emperor's New Clothes vibe about that show?
In Britain, at the Gender Identity Clinic in London, the UK’s main child gender service, 70% of all referred cases are teenage girls.
Yeah, but that's a reflection of the social epidemic of Rapid Onset Gender Dysphoria, brought on by transradical indoctrination, not reinforced gender stereotypes.


But on the whole, the article makes sense and will surely send the transradicals into a frenzy.
