Does it matter what it was?

What I recognized as "brain shocks" when I was taking generic escitalipram (Lexapro) would be a feeling sort of like a short circuit in my brain for a quick flash of a moment. Like another commenter said, quick movements of my eyes or head could cause it. It was quick, and non lingering, but could happen frequently. Just a little bzzt! In the brain with a little visual stutter. It didn't hurt but it was disconcerting until I realized it was normal when missing or cutting down doses. Sounds like it can happen for some people on the normal dose but that wasn't an issue for me.

Amazon customer service used to be amazing. Now it's clearly designed to frustrate you into giving up trying. Assholes.

Yes, in practicality, this is it.

I'll start by saying I agree with all your points. And I wasn't able to find info about the median height, but the average height of American men is actually 5'9. Which including women would bring it down quite a bit. That said, as a 5'7 shorty, I hate the small space in seats. Based on your post I'm guessing your height is around 6'2" (I must know if I'm close!), so you truly have my sympathy sitting in those sardine can aluminum tubes.

I can't say whether this is unpopular broadly, but it sure is unpopular with me.

Edited to: Disregard this comment. I didn't read the entirety of the situation and I don't have good advice for you as I haven't walked in your shoes.

To use an old cliché, "username checks out"

It's easy to believe you're invincible in your twenties. Or "later me can deal with it.". As that later version of me, I'm not a huge fan of that earlier version in a lot of ways. It's fine, I'm who I am for what I went through, and I'm righting the ship. But the more cans you kick down the road, the more you have to deal with later and the harder they are to deal with. Physically, mentally, financially. It's ok to try to live life freely, but definitely be aware of this and consider kicking one less can every chance you get.

I'm beginning to wonder if micro-plastics aren't going to be our leaded gasoline. If they really do cross the blood brain barrier, I can't imagine that they wouldn't be impacting us long term with cognitive and behavioral variances.

I think all the judges they have in place from lower courts on up to the supremes shows this is a dangerous belief to maintain.

If you ever do digitize it, or even going forward for other recipes you use, I recommend checking out the recipe app Paprika 3. I've been using it for years now and love it. It even bypasses pay walls on recipe sites like NYT cooking when downloading. Enter the url in the browser section, and hit download regardless of the paywalls I've encountered so far. I put cocktail recipes in there too.
