Fb is down?

It's worldwide... Almost 4hrs now it has been down..
may be intentional (after whistleblowing event on 69 minutes) to prove their point. “see? you all cannot do without us. see what you’ll do in 6.9 hours without social media?”

Actually I would rather they shutdown Facebook and Instagram.

totally useless things. They are instruments to spread lies and misinformation and absolute rubbish that undermines the truth, people who are honest, and wanting to truly help others.

Got difference.

Here on SBF you cannot profit from spreading falsehoods and lies directly.

FB and instagram got things like can send stars (ie money). Also can advertise. Can get sponsored. Dunno what shit lah.

Here Sam won't have any of that.
 
No facebook products for me so I didn't even notice.

I use photoshelter for image sharing, signal and telegram for messaging and sammyboy book for talking cock.
 
I was just thinking......if the internet system went down......no more internet.....

What will that do to the world economy?

Nobody would bother talking about covid anymore! LOL!

All those trading stocks and what not......jia lat man! Will have much much greater impact than pandemic.

World might see a instant collapse.

Things would be a lot better without the internet.

As much as it could have very good changes to the world, I think it is too late to move back liao. LOL!

It will be a financial disaster for the world though.

I'm being selfish. I've made my money from the net. It can now disintegrate for all I care. :)

Some day I will say I'm being selfish. I'm dead. The world can disintegrate for all I care. :laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh:

You've obviously cheered up because a couple of months ago you were wishing that you were dead regardless of what was happening to the rest of the world.

Hopefully you'll be back to a happy place soon. Just think of all the wonderful things that have happened in your life.

Yes I am feeling better now. I have started to tell myself to accept things as they are. Not to fight and try to change things anymore.

Just keep working as a doctor as much as I dislike it. Just work till I die. Don't go thinking of doing other things anymore. No more investment. No more stocks whatever crap. No business. No whatever shit. Just work lah. Save money.

And then just buy my lottery with the same numbers twice a week both Lotto Max and Lotto 649 as my hope.

Less pressure like that. I still have another month or so plus to have my last birthday wish come true. I am hoping for it. I wished last birthday that I will not see my next birthday. So come December if you don't see me posting anymore then it means I got my wish! YAY!

Brought it up because a few weeks ago I was feeling like shit and hoping I would go to sleep and not wake up.

I took stock of things and decided that I was going to make one change in my life and that was to stop any mind altering drugs. I proceeded to throw away ALL my Bupropion and be 100% drug free for the remainder of my life.

About 2 weeks ago I woke up one morning feeling fresh, motivated and looking forward to the day. This feeling has continued till today.

My conclusion is that any substance that messes with brain chemistry has the ability to cause untold harm.

What? One time you were telling me Bupropion works wonders? Good for sex drive too?

You should be pretty happy since you have financial freedom. You can go do whatever you want to do or not do anything at all too.

Go find something you might find enjoyable and fulfilling.

I dream to have such a day but I doubt it will ever happen. But it is ok.

It is a play on expectations and reality. I have to accept my reality.

If you ever need someone to chat or just listen. Feel free to PM me.

Life is up and downs. I think after you reach a certain age and have done enough......life just starts to be repetitive and tiring.

Don't think too much. Just keep busy. Idle minds breed negative thoughts. Automatic Negative Thoughts. ANTS.

I decided that there is more to life than just a good orgasm. :)

When I first started it seemed to put things right and I carried on for a number of years because I adopted the attitude that if it wasn't causing any adverse effects why not just carry on. It costs nothing as it is 100% subsidised.

When things started going downhill recently I stopped the drug to see what would happen as I felt there was nothing to lose.

I now feel a lot better. Placebo effect? My imagination? Coincidence? Who knows as anti depressants are one of the class of drugs which defy basic understanding.
 
@Sgpind any insights as to why such a major crash could happen?
Since whole site along with partner sites are down ( insta , whatsapp) I would say it could be due to network or network conponent related issues in house. Cannot rule out cyber . Since I don't use fb or instalation really say. WhatsApp I didn't see issues at my time.

I have read before that one of the theories is with all these SSRIs and whatever Dopamine agonists etc it causes upregulation or down regulation of receptors. So if you have too much serotonin or dopamine then the receptors down regulate. Less receptors. Whereas at beginning when you were low the receptors were upregulated ie more receptors. So initial use results are better. More receptors and more neurotransmitters.

But later all regulates back to square one.

So now stop then your receptors upregulate again.

Might make a case for occasional periods of drug holidays to let receptors regulate again.

Frankly medicine is very nebulous. Many theories. Doesnt work for everyone. Whats the point learning all this shit when in the end you are not sure anyway and the patients say they know better than the dr too.

Better dunno anything lah. Just know the stuff that is dangerous can cause harm one. Then know what not to do. The stuff that works.....let patient tell me what they think works better lah. It is like taking orders at McDonald's.

I'll just leave things as they are from now on. The jury has always been out as far as anti depressants are concerned. Depression most certainly involves more than just seretonin and dopamine levels and the fact that even for those that see benefits there is a wait of weeks or months before they take effect.

If it was down to just brain chemistry anti depressants would work straight away just like pain killers.
