I’ll do “See you there :)”. In my mind, the emoticon is a much more subtle smile than an emoji.

(Also I’m older than emojis so emoticons come more naturally lol)

Edit: this comic was further down on my feed lol

Is that why everyone’s going to Ram Ranch now? To harvest high-quality RAM right from the source?

I agree with others, much too red

I really like Pretty. Odd. by Panic! At the Disco - it sort of reminds me of the later Beatles albums but is still unique.

The mural:

I agree you with on those, it’s pretty wacky. You should see the beta designs if you haven’t already, it makes it a lot clearer:

Wake up babe, new copypasta just dropped 🍌

For sure! I’ll DM you

I’m a data analyst, not so much a developer, but in my work I write SQL, DAX, and M code. My job involves sales people telling me what metrics they think they want, delivering those metrics, then being told to make different metrics because the ones I delivered didn’t play into their narrative 🙃

It’s an interesting article, but unfortunately it only mentions the specific bird as the last line. It references another article that talks exclusively about that bird, the Manu-o-Kū (Gygis alba).

Polka-dot tree frog, in case anyone else was wondering!

This is false - Here’s a link from BBC saying so.

Top right definitely isn’t Frizzle Sizzle:

I think it’s actually Albuca concordiana:

I do think that medication is key, and luckily my fiance is very dedicated to taking his pills diligently. If your son is seeking treatment, then that’s a great step in the right direction. And with your support, I think he will definitely be on the right path. Best of luck! I’ll be rooting for him and you :)

I want to second genetic testing! I had it done for myself after taking medicine for depression for years without it helping, and my doctor and I were able to find something that has helped me a lot.

I’m not sure if there’s different companies that do it, but just so you have a name, the one I used was Genesight. I think my insurance told me that they wouldn’t cover it, so I was able to get it for free.

Hi, I’m currently engaged to a wonderful man who I love very much. He is diagnosed with both ADHD and bipolar disorder, and has been since he was a kid. He’s had a long time for him and his doctor to experiment with which medications work well for him and get him stable, and so, to be very honest, I don’t think I really notice much of anything that I attribute to his bipolar. If he had never told me about it and had only mentioned his ADHD, I don’t think I would have ever known.

I’ll admit that I don’t know very much about bipolar, so it’s very possible that maybe my fiance is lower on the “spectrum” (if one exists - I personally have depression and autism so this is where my first hand experience lies) than your son, but like you mentioned, your son is early in his journey compared to where my fiance is at. But I want you to know that there is definitely hope, especially with parents who love and care for him - and you must, since you’re here asking about him.

If this is your first experience with mental health care, it might be advantageous to research groups in your area for help. For instance, in my area there’s NAMI, which was a big help for my fiance’s mother when he got his diagnosis.

If you’d like to ask more questions about my experience, feel free to shoot them my way!

Same here, thought I was dying

Is this… Is this where Squirtle comes from?? I don’t feel so good… I think I’m going to go lie down now
