Would you take it?
Am I understanding correctly that it's supposed to be taken as soon as possible after the trauma? Not really the best time to have to make that kind of choice.
Oh my god. What can it be? We're all doomed! Who's flying this thing!? Oh right, that would be me. Back to work.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

Oh, I didn't get that. That's more worrisome, really. But I guess I can see some people wanting it.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
Was she a crazyass nutjob lying sack of shit?
Yes. Likely, she was mentally ill, which I also stated. Beverly suggested putting a note at the end about her death just a few weeks before I completed the essay, which I did, and ended it by saying that I hope her troubled mind is at peace.
I think that was the best way to go about it.

That seems very kind actually. While still being honest in the essay. Being dead now doesn't make what she did any less heinous.

Would you take it?
Interesting. With enough testing? Yeah, I think I would, if it really does what it says. There's the problem that they're intending it for traumas which would result in PTSD, and it's not entirely clear which ones those are, but memories that get etched so strongly that they cause insurmountable fear or flashbacks can cause serious, disabling damage. So, yeah. You know, if the pharmaceutical world were perfect and I could trust that it would actually do exactly and only what they say. Hah!

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
People who've had PTSD are likely to develop it again, right? It would seem like a good idea there.

Your tag here.
I just got back from a first date with a very lovely woman. It's been a year since I've been out with somebody. I'd forgotten how nice it is to care about somebody and be cared about. She wants to see me again. I sure hope this works out.
Edit: I'd be remiss if I didn't point out the porn value of this post number.
