What if a guy meets a girl and she is so attractive, that in fact she is the one making the choice, not you. You are compelled because of millions of years of genetic programming to value certain features and traits. Her decision to put herself in your territory means she was the cause and you...

Maybe where the dispute between the Doc and Insane_AI comes in is actually a difference between a conscious choice and a subconscious choice. You can intentionally decide to swing one way or the other, but you might be having factors that pull you one way or another based on subconscious factors...

Fifi, in what way was it hell? Did it suddenly hit, or did is slowly become hell as the effects of the antidepressants slowly went out of your system?

By medicine, do you mean nursing? Doc?

I love cooking nice stuff. Perhaps you can share some of your favourite recipes when you start cooking again. Please to hear you are in a good state of mind today. Maybe it is a bit like being an alcoholic, you take one day at a time. From my perspective, my troubles are mounting up. I...

Trust me Insane_AI, I am all over this stuff and what is happening over there. It is crazy. And my views coincide with yours.

I watched "On My Skin" (Netflix) a couple of days ago. It is a true story about police brutality in Italy. Subtitles - which I normally hate - but I stuck through it and it is a harrowing story.

Hah, before I got to that phrase it was already in my mind to add that to my reply. Your circle of competence grew and I can understand how easy it would be to care for a temporary condition versus a chronic condition. There is always that light at the end of the tunnel.

The thing is, if the new iPhone is sexist, where were the complaints about the original being sexist, since clearly it would have been too small for men? It appears that sexism only seems to happen one way, which is sexist in and of itself! I didn't know you could watch BBC over there, unless...

Gotcha. It's a American thing.

To my mind, the definition of man and woman came before the understanding of the "other stuff". If you want to use the "other stuff" to redefine what man and woman mean, you can't. The definition has already been made. You could argue that a male has a female psychological profile but that is...

Sorry Insane_AI, I don't understand?

Thank you for sharing a very heartfelt story Doc. Those sounded like tough times. Sometimes when we are deep in the quagmire, we can't see over the top at the beauty out there. The only thing to do is keep on keeping on. Eventually, everything passes, even our own lives. I am curious how you...

Biomedical science sounds like a tough subject!

Have you tried coming off your meds before?

There is also the difference between intellectual understanding and empathetic understanding. The latter may come from personal experience.

Ah so the same standard then. Is it more vocational, where it is tied into a potential job?

Let's get one thing out in the open. Depression is normal! We all get it from time, since it is a everyday biological process that probably has an evolutionary reason for being there. Life can sometimes deal us some blows that kick us off course. To get down is commonplace. Yet at the same time...

This could be a good way to get the grumps out in the open! I hate it when they stick a discount label over the description of a product so you don't know what it is! At the local supermarket the other day, I saw this ready-meal which was roughly half-price. It looked like some coconut curry of...

Here's an idea...I am colour blind. What you see is not quite what I see. This is a genetic aberration that makes me see things that you don't and vice-versa. Could paranormal experiences be the same thing? Some people feel more receptive to these things than others. Throw in our own individual...
