I'm only posting this here because I don't want to start fouling up the sad thread with British-EU politics.

I've realised (or more accurately, it's properly sunk in) just how authoritarian not-insignificant parts of the UK populace are. I've seen people saying that the "remainer traitors" should all be kicked out of public office (Farage said this, hence how I've been hearing a lot of other people go on about this) for daring to continue to hold their own views and not start slobbering over the cocks of the leaders of the no-deal movement. It's literally akin to how in the 1930s people in Germany weren't allowed to hold office for "betraying" the country, or the McCarthyite lunacy in the US. What's even more astonishing is how utterly in denial they are about the fact that behaviour like this is extraordinarily undemocratic, and they in fact think that it's promoting democracy.

And a large number of people are supporting this out of nothing more than sheer spite. What the actual fuck is wrong with us?

Practically no exercise for 1.5 months.

I managed to jog at about 75% effort for ten whole minutes. Admittedly this is because I was trying to outrun a swarm of flies that had taken a bizarre amount of interest in me and had been chasing me for about half an hour before that. Which is the other WTF: Every time I go past any bushes or anything that's prime fly habitat, a swarm of the fuckers decides to chase after me relentlessly. Nobody else seems to have this issue, just me. I'll be surrounded by a fucking cloud of flies insistent on trying to land on my head or buzz in my ears.

I'm happy with my fapguin free existence.

It's also appropriate given I'm likely going to be on drugs that have a decent chance of making me about as sexually active as a potato for the near future.

Check out chronic loneliness and social anxiety (or general anxiety that's just trying some post-hoc justification by clinging onto anything you did when socialising)

The former's generally induced by two things: Your brain being broken by something like depression or general chemical imbalances, and a lack of high quality relationships (Note it's quality, you can have a lot of low quality ones and still get chronic loneliness).
As ever, the unfortunate thing about these is that the road to curing them is long and difficult, but the rewards at the end are being able to function like a normal human being.

What do you mean one of the unlucky people? Have you never read the little pamphlet you get in it? It usually lists the proportion of folk who get various side-effects, from most to least common.

I do hope it goes away though; I refused to take medication after a few years on them ‘cause I’d rather feel deep loathing for myself than deal with the side-effects.

26% on this one, so I'm unlucky.

I'm going to either swap or stop though, because it's also giving me palpitations for a few hours after I take it. Not in the sense of my heart missing a beat but instead beating hard.

I appear to be one of the unlucky people affected by the side effects of SSRIs.

In this instance, nausea.

I was supposed to be going somewhere else today, but I can't drive when every time I yawn I have to spend 10 seconds trying my damndest not to gag.

Yes, I made an emergency clip bow tie purchase because fuck that noise.

Who the actual fuck designed bowties?

Secondary question: Who the actual fuck designed all these guides on how to tie bowties? They all seem to have a single step that is very much "Draw the rest of the owl". I can do all the folds, but nothing goes into depth about the fucking loop you stick the second bow into. NOTHING. I can't find a fucking loop. Even better, one fucking guide I found assumes that you're somehow able to make the fucking bow tie go *inside* your chest to get that second bow. It took me some time to work that one out.
