So excited for you guys to be back! How many pregnancies do you expect to result from the new album?

I don't think racism should be classified as a "mental illness". I don't have a PsyD or anything but I believe classifying something as a mental illness should imply it's life-long, and the most you can do is cope around it without totally eradicating the illness. Racism is a mental construct that can be broken down. Classifying it as a mental illness misses the point imo and will just direct people to look past the underlying causes of racism.

For me personally: Habitual use leads to a psychological dependency and I'm much slower cognitively. When I stop smoking I have no appetite whatsoever (I'll eat maybe one small meal a day for the first few days of withdrawal), I'm irritable and occasionally have a hard time sleeping. Those symptoms go away within a week. The worst part of habitual long term use if the lack of cognitive sharpness. I can think abstractly when I'm high but math and logical thinking go out the window, which is a problem for the vast majority of professions out there. Again, that clears out within a week of abstaining.

So it is like a neverending community wide AMA? I like the idea, depending on how the 'feed' is set up I see a lot of potential for low bounce rates and lots of sign ups. It differentiates itself well from other social media platforms. You can tell right off the bat that you are cutting right to the most interesting aspects of the users' lives, rather than "LOL LOOK AT THIS SANDWICH I ATE TODAY". I hope this venture works out for you guys, it looks promising.

My buddy was in for a suicide attempt and had the same experience. For the short time he was there he was regularly around every type of mental illness imaginable. He said it helped him feel normal, but he attempted a few times after that. He's still alive and kickin and I never want him to feel that sad again, but he seems to keep going through the same cycle. It's painful to watch someone go through that without being able to truly help them. I hope you're doing better now...no one wants their loved ones to kill themselves.
