First up: do you want to eat me? Please email scribblebank@gmail-com if so…
~95 kg this morning
But my question is: how do you sleep (without having told explicitly those who want to eat you that you don’t want to be eaten, and that your going to sleep does not demonstrate peace and thereby consent in any way to being eaten by anyone while you sleep) ?
I can quite understand wanting to copy and paste this – together with your email and some quantity indicator (eg “recently less an appendix”) for your own use elsewhere – that’s quite alright by me. It’s a dog eat dog world out there, staySafe!
And now for something completely different:
I was reminded recently of a conversation with a community psychiatrist (supposed to be an expert on the mind) on the relative effects of monthly injections Vs daily pills. They were proposing switching to the injection…
They said something like “the subjective effect of the injection would actually be lower, since you would be having 400mg every month, rather than 15mg every day” – and after a pause of a few seconds, “it’s obvious” and then changed the subject.
They later wrote that “significant thought disorder” was evident, which I think they based on my not being convinced by their explanation there – an explanation that lacked any mention of the proportion actually absorbed from the stomach when taken orally Vs when taken by depot injection.
There just wasn’t enough information to reach the conclusion the psychiatrist quickly declared obvious… I thought it was obvious you shouldn’t assume it to be 100% absorption and availability, but didn’t put this into words before they’d moved on…
They must have known that they were presenting an over simplification as obvious correct reasoning. I’d say there was a 3 second pause (with me trying to convey with my expression that I had doubts) – them apparently waiting for me to say “ok yes, you’re right as usual, I’m completely happy with what you suggest…”
But no, “formal thought disorder” was the psychiatrist’s write up – twice, for good measure.
Pump up the diagnosis!
Ermm…
