and now my car needs new bearings

make $300 a week

spent $1400 in auto repairs in the last month counting this new thing, also school fucking fin aid up so I have to pay out of pocket until the paperwork all catches up and I get back paid

it's sure a good thing I built up a rapidly depleting stockpile of cash or I'd be beyond fucked atm

So It Goes

I have come to the conclusion that beer makes me fat

which is so sad

I happen to know for a fact that I weigh exactly 200.7 lbs as a 6'4" man because that's what I weighed at intake when I had a tick removed from my ankle this afternoon.

No, wait, that was intake, after all the digging I guess it's probably closer to 200.6 lbs now.

The insidious thing about my brand of mania is that you think you're just having a really good day and you've finally gotten healthy. In fact, why am I even taking these meds? I feel great. I could wrestle a bear.

And then I feel absolutely devastated when the bear beats me, and everyone gets to say "I told you so, about the wrestling bears thing", only for me to completely forget how awful the bear wrestling incident went for me the last time I tried it and do it all over again the next time I'm manic.

I had kinda given up hope on Star Trek: Into Darkness because I read a couple of early reviews 2 weeks ago and they haaaaated it.

Mind you it was aint it cool news

My take on it is kind of: it's definitely a more tightly put together film than the first, but if you hated that, you'll hate this.

I loved the first so I sound good to go. Plus it'sat 90% on RT with 67 reviews

Hey! No quotations! I legitimately forget!

You forget because

1. You've had to overcome an ingrained misconceived notion towards the subject due to your upbringing and experience and a lack of education on the matter
2. You, like most bipolar people, struggle with time management that isn't blocked out for you. (ie, outside work hours)
3. You have gut issues that make it hard for you to take your meds without food, which means taking your meds properly relies on you eating properly, which is entirely its own issue to tackle.

those are the primary things that cause you to actually forget, versus opting not to because of mania

not sure i'd want to be all the way back down to like 150. that was pretty thin

190ish is my ideal weight

yikes dealing with bouts of depression lately and after this car repair I'll be getting back into "Terrified to look at my bank balance" territory, that was a good feeling to always have and I welcome its return

I am 5'10, roughly 158-163. I would like to be 175 I think. Of muscle, not just weight

That'd be grand

So what you do is this:

Get yourself a 20 lb beer coozy.

Don't use a table, just set that bottle right down on the floor.

It always seems like perhaps there is an active effort to block out remembering when you get into that cycle. It's in quotes because I don't think you're lying about forgetting but that perhaps are avoiding remembering.

On August 31, 2012, Japanese mathematician Shinichi Mochizuki posted four papers on the Internet.

The titles were inscrutable. The volume was daunting: 512 pages in total. The claim was audacious: he said he had proved the ABC Conjecture, a famed, beguilingly simple number theory problem that had stumped mathematicians for decades.

...

The problem, as many mathematicians were discovering when they flocked to Mochizuki’s website, was that the proof was impossible to read. The first paper, entitled “Inter-universal Teichmuller Theory I: Construction of Hodge Theaters,” starts out by stating that the goal is “to establish an arithmetic version of Teichmuller theory for number fields equipped with an elliptic curve…by applying the theory of semi-graphs of anabelioids, Frobenioids, the etale theta function, and log-shells.”

This is not just gibberish to the average layman. It was gibberish to the math community as well.

“You don’t get to say you’ve proved something if you haven’t explained it,” she says. “A proof is a social construct. If the community doesn’t understand it, you haven’t done your job.”

http://projectwordsworth.com/the-paradox-of-the-proof/

I read that the other day. It is interesting. Mostly because this guy, unlike the surprisingly large number of math-quacks out there who behave in a similar fashion, actually has the education and previous published work to make this worth paying attention to.

But his behavior is indeed very odd. For such a basic theorem, no one can use his work without a lot of independent verification of his proof. So, in it's current state, it is useless.

edit: I mean "basic" as in, useful as a base or tool in other theories. Unlike, say, Fermat's Last Theorem which has no application only interest because of the oddity of it's history.

I don't know that 2" makes an enormous difference, but when I was 180-185 @ 6'3" people were constantly telling me I looked sick; I also have a broad frame though so maybe that did it. 145 @ 6'1" sounds like fucking starvation level thin.

for me, my mania causes laser-focus. Like most people who struggle with bipolar when I'm manic I'll start projects or have ideas and smash into them with crazy amounts of effort. But even when I don't do that, I'll like... lose myself in playing video games for six hours.

Not in a depressed "I'm playing video games to just pass the time" kind of way, but in this really engrossed "HOLY SHIT I LOVE THIS GAME" kind of way and then I'm like "oh fuck it's 5 am"

hah, yeah. Which can be a useful mindset to be in on occasion.

The absolutely worst thing about my own condition is that I am doomed to make the same mistakes over and over again in a horrific Sisyphean cycle.

I am literally resistant to learning from my own mistakes.

Losing weight is easy when you have a stomach disease! Well, actually, keeping weight on is hard. But it looks the same from a distance

I have pretty broad shoulders for being as thin as I am. Like, I've been asked if I work out when I wear a turtleneck.

Yeah, been at starvation level. BMI hovering at 15 at the time.

This is a thing I need to do also.

Irond Will

so the mathematical condition "x >= 1" expresses "x is more than or equal to one". in common english, assuming the value 1 was a proper value for x, we might associate this with the words "x is sufficient" or "x is enough"

is there a similar word for the condition "x <= 1" or "x is up to but not more than this amount"?

Because if not, you should. And run. The actual mechanisms of getting into shape are not complicated; it's the discipline and time commitment that holds people back, imo (myself included).
