I don't see much value in taking it myself. I get boosted for ACWY every 5 years, because that's when that one starts wearing off below protective immunity, but B is every three years. It's just not durable. Plus, all the outbreaks among gay men have been Serogroup C, so at this time there's just really no medical justification I could see unless [18:15] Isambard_Prince they stop making the ACWY boosters and move to ABCWY. [18:16] Isambard_Prince B is more important for people who live in dorms or military barracks or something. [18:17] Isambard_Prince One of the more disgusting things about living in large cities where the rent is out of control thanks to Democrats, is that you have to pay like $1500, or $2000 even, to share an apartment that was meant for 1 person, with 7 other people you don't even know. So it provides the ideal breeding ground for disease. [18:20] Isambard_Prince I doubt that Mamdani will have too much impact on the price of rent in New York City. People already don't ever leave their rent controlled apartments except feet first because the non-controlled ones are much worse. And Mamdani himself has a rent controlled apartment despite not even being remotely poor. They don't "ration" them to who stands to need them the most. So they're not usiing the supply efficiently and it's turned into [18:20] Isambard_Prince cronyism where if you're in good with the local officials or bribe someone, you'll get good rent for the rest of your life. [18:27] Isambard_Prince MinceR, Humorously, the pills you can take for hair loss may cause ED. [18:27] Isambard_Prince I noticed that. [18:27] Isambard_Prince I said "Eh, who needs hair anyway." [18:28] MinceR :> [18:29] Isambard_Prince There's two options. Oral Minoxidil, which is off label, and generic Propecia. [18:30] Isambard_Prince "But side effects are still possible, including unwanted hair growth on other parts of the body, temporary hair shedding, dizziness, swelling, and an increased heart rate." [18:30] Isambard_Prince I wonder where on the body this other hair starts growing. [18:31] MinceR eyeball [18:31] MinceR oral cavity [18:31] MinceR lungs [18:33] Isambard_Prince That'll put some hair in your lungs!

The 3 Aspects of Self in ACT ACT Therapy [18:35] MinceR Australian Capital Territory therapy [18:56] Isambard_Prince MinceR, I was watching a Jackie Chan movie on Blu Ray the other day. A helicopter fires a missile at another one, then the missile comes down a wire, sticks onto the other helicopter, and explosives go off from under the seats. [18:56] Isambard_Prince That's a hell of a missile. [18:56] MinceR lol [18:57] MinceR obviously, it was a wuxia missile [18:57] MinceR or wire fu missile [18:58] darwin what about FLOSS AI like MyCroft AI (might've been discontinued)? [18:58] MinceR \_()_/ [18:59] MinceR afaik there are FLOSS models and weights you can use with ollama [18:59] MinceR i haven't tried because my gaming laptop doesn't have enough VRAM for this sort of thing [18:59] darwin i don't endorse AI, though it has helped me figure out science/programming things that would've taken me literally days or maybe a year on my own, and I don't think that's bad, but when I was using it, I only used it sparingly. I'd go a month or two without having used it. My sibling has hundreds saved chats in Google Gemini. In ones I have saved it's fewer than 10, though I did some not saved [18:59] MinceR also, maybe an NPU would be more practical for this, but i don't have one of those ● Nov 27 [19:16] *_what_ has quit (connection closed) [19:17] Isambard_Prince MinceR, I hear their carrier killer missile works about the same way. [19:17] Isambard_Prince :) [19:25] Isambard_Prince Speaking of the carrier, Mandy is out of the bedroom to do something. [19:26] Isambard_Prince I gave him citizenship, the hearing back in his right ear, and about $10,000 worth of dental work. In exchange I got Hepatitis B and am about to lose half my stuff in the divorce. [19:26] Isambard_Prince Very equitable. [19:26] MinceR lol [19:31] Isambard_Prince He's even got my mother defending HIM. She must take after her mom. Mom married three duds herself (as opposed to "dudes", you know, duds. None of them had the goods.), and grandma got in her car and said in a southern drawl. "AHHHH KNOW WHYYYY YOUUU CAINT KEEP AHHH MANNN! It's becuzzzz YOU'RE SAH MEEEN!!!!" [19:32] MinceR :> [19:32] Isambard_Prince MinceR, I amuse myself with that one a lot. Just saying it in my grandmother's accent. [19:33] Isambard_Prince MinceR, Another good one. Grandma called her back massager her "vibrator". So I imitate her accent and say "Now where did AHHHH put MAH VAAAHBRATOR!? I NEED IT!" [19:33] MinceR lol [19:34] Isambard_Prince MinceR, Then there's the one from when John and I walked into her hospital room when she slipped and hurt her neck. [19:34] Isambard_Prince "ISIS is GONNA BLOW UP THE POWER GRID ON CHRISTMAS because they hate JESUS!" [19:35] MinceR lol [19:35] Isambard_Prince John said "Did they put her on pain drugs?" [19:35] Isambard_Prince I said, "You know, it's hard to tell because that's about her baseline." [19:36] Isambard_Prince MinceR, She did the vibrator one while I was over there drinking a Coke. [19:36] Isambard_Prince And I spat it everywhere trying not to choke on it. [19:38] Isambard_Prince MinceR, So I got on GoodRX care and they do Viagra and Cialis now apparently. My problem is that I'm too aggressive on Mondays and it really detracts from Tuesdays. [19:39] Isambard_Prince And so the doctor suggested a 2.5 mg Cialis every day for "spontaneity". [19:39] Isambard_Prince I said sure why not. They went down the list of side effects that are possible. They're a lot less likely with this dosing schedule. [19:40] MinceR i didn't realize hypertension drugs could cause spontaneity [19:40] Isambard_Prince But then I said "I know one you probably don't." [19:40] Isambard_Prince And she said what's that. [19:40] Isambard_Prince I said "Take it with plenty of water because if it gets caught in your throat you'll have a stiff neck all week." [19:40] Isambard_Prince She laughed. [19:40] MinceR ouch [19:41] Isambard_Prince :) [19:43] Isambard_Prince MinceR, So an 80 old man goes to the doctor and asks for Viagra. The doctor says sure I'll start you out at 50 mg. The old man says he wants to cut it in half. The doctor says at that dose it probably won't do anything for him. The old man says "Oh at my age I'm not having sex but I just want it to stick out far enough that I don't pee all over my shoes." [19:43] Isambard_Prince B-) [19:45] Isambard_Prince MinceR, I wanted the small consistent daily dose of Cialis because I'm not having terrible issues obviously, but I'm also not a 20 year old man anymore. [19:46] MinceR lol [19:46] Isambard_Prince It's like a car. It doesn't stop working after 20-30 years necessarily, it just isn't new anymore. It's always got something a bit wrong, gotta take it to the mechanic more. [19:47] MinceR maybe the old man should try pissing while sitting on the toilet [19:47] Isambard_Prince Yeah, then you run into the other aging problem. [19:48] MinceR which one? [19:48] Isambard_Prince When you're 20 years old you can do that. When you get older sometimes you sit down and you have to hold your balls so they don't go into the water. [19:48] MinceR lol [19:48] Isambard_Prince They start to sag. [19:48] Isambard_Prince So you lift up the toilet tank lid and adjust the water level just a tad. [19:48] Isambard_Prince At least you don't need to ask the doctor for something I guess. [19:49] Isambard_Prince I want to be 20 again. [19:51] Isambard_Prince MinceR, Archie said that he was terrified I'd go on Cialis. He said that I'd "go wild". He said that he already hasn't seen anyone like me unless they had just taken a popper. And I don't use those btw. [19:51] Isambard_Prince I laughed. [19:51] MinceR lol [19:51] MinceR https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/4/47/Archie_on_the_cover_of_Archie_and_Me_no._1.png [19:53] Isambard_Prince My mother said that my dad "always wanted sex" but would not kiss her. He said "I am fastidious." [19:53] Isambard_Prince I said "Well, I'm not fastidious if that helps." [19:54] Isambard_Prince I would never say something like that. [19:54] Isambard_Prince If you're dating or married to someone and you have a sexual relationship anyway, why would you refuse to kiss that person and say "I am fastidious!"? [19:55] Isambard_Prince In many ways I don't blame her for not wanting to be married to him, but a lot of this stuff should have been setting off alarm bells before they ever got married, I should think. [19:56] Isambard_Prince Then she knew his entire family was full of drunk and crazy people, so why not throw the dice and have children by him? [19:57] Isambard_Prince MinceR, I don't know what the hell was going on in....that brain of hers. [19:57] Isambard_Prince If a man wants to have sex with you, but won't kiss you, there's something very wrong with that man. [19:57] *ewig has quit (Ping timeout: 244 seconds) [19:57] Isambard_Prince Even if you don't know anything else about him yet. [19:59] Isambard_Prince I'm happy with my new relationship, but I think I surprised him. Three hours later he's like "My God, don't you ever get tired?" [19:59] Isambard_Prince I explained that I would be "Much worse, off my bipolar meds." ● Nov 27 [20:00] Isambard_Prince I said that I can now appreciate what I have with him and do not need anyone else, but off meds I was having sex with people and it was not for pleasure, it's so that I wouldn't "hurt". [20:00] Isambard_Prince And that's exactly what mania does to you. Well, to some of us. That's one reason why you need to get that under control before you come across a person with HIV or something. [20:00] Isambard_Prince Because those people will be dangerous, and you won't be thinking about it. [20:01] *psydruid (~psydruid@jevhxkzmtrbww.irc) has left #techrights [20:02] Isambard_Prince I also explained how my medication makes me sleep, otherwise I might not sleep for weeks, and I could even start hallucinating at some point. And that I'm terrified that I might ever lose my medicine because one missed dose could start a serious problem. [20:03] Isambard_Prince If I ever had kids they could end up inheriting this from me, because there's a strong genetic predisposition to it. [20:03] Isambard_Prince He didn't understand what I meant and asked if he could "catch it" from me. I said, "Oh God no, bipolar disorder is not a sexually transmitted disease. It would affect the children maybe if I had some with a woman, but I would never do that." [20:04] Isambard_Prince MinceR, Something Richard Stallman said stuck with me. [20:05] Isambard_Prince He said that his parents didn't do a great job and they were always arguing and it was just miserable, and he didn't see why he would necessarily do better than they did. [20:05] Isambard_Prince So the onset of bipolar or schizophrenia is partially genetic, but it's partially environmental. [20:05] Isambard_Prince So I don't like the odds genetically, and I have no confidence that I'd make a better parent than my mother or father. And look at what happened to me. [20:06] Isambard_Prince So what a terrible thing to risk happening to someone. [20:06] Isambard_Prince Then to make it even worse, my mom said she didn't even want kids and that it was a pressure campaign from my dad and that he threw away her birth control medicine. [20:07] Isambard_Prince I greatly dislike my parents, but my father especially. [20:10] Isambard_Prince It's a mixture of having psychotic mental illness, an unstable childhood background with mental and (from a step-father) physical abuse, and just an overall disgust with the way my mother handled divorcing my dad. Not just filing for divorce but going off and neglecting her child, not even caring if I finished school. Not college, just high school even, and I did not, and then flaunting her corrruption and adultery. [20:10] Isambard_Prince Then telling me I was unwanted. [20:11] Isambard_Prince I told her they should go back to executing women for behaving the way she did with the adultery and divorce. [20:13] Isambard_Prince She was like "Oh, you're still married." I said, "Yeah, to a jerk that used sex as a weapon for six years then asked ME for a divorce when he was finished abusing me and getting his immigration papers. And at least I don't have two small kids watching it unfold as I lie and say I'm at a Mary Kay convention while I'm shacking up with a stinking truck driver with his many vices." [20:14] Isambard_Prince MinceR, So I told her "I don't think you realize, you are not in control here anymore." [20:16] Isambard_Prince Because she told me not to get married again and I said I would if I wanted to because it's my life not hers, and just because all of hers went wrong doesn't mean the same thing will happen to me, if I'm careful. [20:16] Isambard_Prince I told her the person I'm with is treating me well and the minute he doesn't "I'm gone like Enron." [20:30] Isambard_Prince I miss Ronny's Steakhouse. I used to eat there 2-3 times a week before they closed. [20:31] Isambard_Prince I actually preferred cheaper steaks slathered in A1 sauce. Amazingly you could get one for like ten bucks with sides and stuff and it was still much tastier than going to one of those chain steakhouses or something, spending $50 a person.
