Fri 22:47:28 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ They basically took all the neighbors they were having problems out of and sold them to slavers.

Fri 23:13:17 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ I told him I was paranoid after the last apartment building became completely infested with roaches. I said the landlord and his tenants were giving them all the garbage and water they could ever want, between living like animals and all the leaky pipes and roof.

Sat 00:25:09 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ And that's what happened to me. So it needed replaced from the resonator to the tailpipe.
Sat 00:25:17 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ And that cost me $450.
Sat 00:25:42 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ It's usually like $800-900 but they did it just for the cost of the parts since I was in there having major work done anyway.
Sat 00:29:13 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ here people don't have their exhaust systems fixed, they just enjoy that it's louder
Sat 00:29:23 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ i suspect some of them damage it deliberately

Sat 00:52:42 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ I suspect they're just deleting the muffler entirely or something.

Sat 00:54:36 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ they can just cut a short section of the pipe before the/a muffler

Sat 05:27:43 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ Stopped getting out of bed on her days off. Only went to work because of my cousins. (Doing things out of guilt that you would harm others if you failed to. Not for yourself.)
Sat 05:27:59 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ Retreat into fantasy (expensive trips to Disney).
Sat 05:28:23 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ One time, for a little while, she came out of the depression.
Sat 05:28:33 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ She started talking to a dentist on AOL in private chatrooms.
Sat 05:28:49 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ She went on a diet, lost a lot of weight, started exercising and cleaned her house.
Sat 05:29:18 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ Then it went right back to how it was when he said he was married and just wanted to see people on the side without his wife knowing about it.
Sat 05:29:50 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ schestowitz[TR2], People need to feel loved and needed.
Sat 05:30:45 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ When it stops entirely and nobody around them loves them and needs them, they become without purpose.
Sat 05:30:57 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ And this is when people are more likely to harm themselves somehow.
Sat 05:31:32 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ Some people cut, others drink or use drugs, some people do like my mother and join a church and give the church all their money.
Sat 05:31:46 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ Some people pick up a gun and blow their brains out.
Sat 05:32:17 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ But certainly nothing good happens when you become an "artifact" without purpose.
Sat 05:32:39 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ And this is what I've become again.
Sat 05:32:47 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ The other day I did not get out of bed.
Sat 05:32:58 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ I stared at the ceiling for 12 hours then went to sleep again.
Sat 05:33:29 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ All of my dreams are either good things that happened years ago, or just very dry and technical.
Sat 05:33:59 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ When I started dreaming the other night, I had a dream that I was repairing an old television set.

Sat 05:35:58 │ 〖schestowitz[TR2〗 │] TV fantasies
Sat 05:36:17 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ I don't know why. Dreams don't always literally mean what happens in the dream.
Sat 05:36:58 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ All I know is I was tearing apart an old television set to see what was wrong with it. I think the tube had burned out.
Sat 05:37:25 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ My mother said that when she was here the other day she noticed that my speech pattern has changed.
Sat 05:37:56 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ She said she had been blaming my phone or Mint Mobile or my old apartment's crappy reception for me seeming to trail off at the end of sentences.
Sat 05:38:04 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ But when she was here she noticed me doing it in person.
Sat 05:39:14 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ One of the questions they'll ask about depression is "Have you started moving or speaking so slowly that others have noticed or commented?"
Sat 05:40:00 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ It's called psychomotor retardation.
Sat 05:40:22 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Psychomotor_retardation
Sat 05:40:36 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ schestowitz[TR2], She said she started to notice this over the phone about a year or two ago.
Sat 05:41:45 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ schestowitz[TR2], Then she was reading a story about someone who committed suicide by cop.
Sat 05:41:53 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ And she said she had no idea why anyone would do that.
Sat 05:42:01 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ I said I knew exactly why people would do it.
Sat 05:42:45 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ Afraid to do it themselves or don't have access to a gun so they pretend they do so the cop perceives a threat, or they realize they've committed a serious crime and don't want to go to prison forever so they do that instead.
Sat 05:43:24 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ It's harder to pull off in many English speaking countries because the front line police officers are less likely to have guns.
Sat 05:43:35 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ Maybe you get yourself tased or something if you do that in the UK.
Sat 05:43:50 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ But I don't think they call out the real police unless you're a terrorist or something.
Sat 05:45:04 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ Hard to do suicide by cop when most of the cops are just TV Licensing with a badge.
Sat 05:45:42 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ Patroling the mall in case Chinese tourists want to heckle a citizen who plays the piano.
Sat 05:46:10 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ Where they leap to the aid of the rude Chinese tourists, citing laws and rules that don't actually exist anywhere.
Sat 05:46:16 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ Because that's how they roll.
Sat 05:46:35 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ "You can't say that."
Sat 05:46:51 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ Yeah, watch me say that, lady.
Sat 05:47:01 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ Go back to China if you want to act like that.
Sat 05:47:05 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ Fuck off.
Sat 05:48:00 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ The only halfway interesting thing that's happened in the UK lately were the Chav riots.
Sat 05:48:05 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ And even then only barely.
Sat 05:50:51 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ Interestingly, they say that your libido goes down while you're depressed, but that has not been my experience.
Sat 05:51:58 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ I've become so depressed that even all the shit I take for bipolar disorder doesn't work that well right at the moment.
Sat 05:52:26 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ I'm undoubtedly more prone to bad decesion making because the stakes have been reduced.
Sat 05:53:42 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ Just like Aunt Karen at least getting out of bed and forcing herself into work for the sake of the girls, I've been somewhat functional because I had to be, on behalf of someone who clearly played me for citizenship and now washes his hands of me.
Sat 05:53:57 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ So there's no reason to care if he suffers for what I do, which makes me less stable.
Sat 05:54:14 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ *decision
Sat 05:54:36 │ 〖schestowitz[TR2〗 │] ACTION back
Sat 05:55:22 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ I can make good or conservative risk decisions, it's just that I no longer care.
Sat 05:55:58 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ I haven't felt this bad in 20 years.
Sat 05:58:33 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ schestowitz[TR2], I ran across someone I dated many years ago that's apparently dead now. That makes at least two.
Sat 05:58:44 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ This one made it to 37 and I'm sure it was a bad 37.
Sat 05:59:26 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ Saw the obituary. For some reason they either die young or at least fall apart too early.
Sat 05:59:51 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ I lived long enough to become arthritic.
