Hurling ordure at the TREACLES, especially those closely related to LessWrong.

it's all deliberate
and also antidepressants don't work like that, at least most of these currently used. except ketamine. aren't you thrilled to get mysteriously timed ketamine shot?
Not mysteriously timed, timed by your boss, by remote. Like in the famous book, "don't build the torment nexus".
