You'll be sorry, Dr. J!

The only positive I took out of my marriage besides my kids was that my ex-wife got me into the Dead. It might have been partially Stockholm Syndrome, but I like to think I started to really hear the music.

They were probably doing it just to fuck with you.

In Milwaukee, once Pabst was exported as hipster beer, it wasn't hip enough for the true Riverwest hipsters, so they flailed around for years trying to find an alternative: Blatz, Schlitz before it was rebranded, finally settling on Hamm's for a while. I lived in a flat above one such hipster and our back porch was…

No! It's gross!

Ha! I've met the people who invented that beer. It's contract-brewed by Sprecher in Milwaukee, and it is indeed disgusting. There's also supposedly parmesan cheese in the recipe.

My brother-in-law proposed to his wife by singing her that song. Stupid Sappy Sandler.

Now I'm emotional thinking about you having that great memory with your daughter. I really love my daughter. My son, too, but mostly my daughter.

Holy Jesus, do you live in the world? This is clearly a pointless discussion.

Yes, because that's how wages are determined. The benevolent employer looks at each individual's labor and pays a fair price for it. Capital and means of production on one side and a pair of hands on the other certainly make for fair negotiating conditions. This has all been sarcasm.

The next time you speak to her, tell her that Pee-Wee's nemesis thinks her film is the most important document of the American labor movement of the last 50 years.

It's spelled "heartily."

The three musicians listed are cultural vultures. What possible benefit could there be to "reimagining" these songs? It's not as if Dylan is obscure. If you're aware of Dylan, you know whether or not you like his music. If you like his music, you'll seek out the original record. These people have too much time on…

I'm on duloxetine (Cymbalta), and it's done wonders. Not only with depression, but with social anxiety as well.

I know this is going to end up being pretty far down on the list, but if anyone makes it this far (or has comments sorted by "newest" like some kind of degenerate), I want to express gratitude to everyone who's commented here, and to Marah Eakin for the article. I'm sure all the depression-sufferers here would agree…

I'm glad to hear you're doing so well without medication. My psychiatrist intends to wean me off my antidepressants in the spring and I'm sort of terrified.

Maybe it doesn't "get better" overall, but medication helps, and you adapt. That is, you learn to emphasize the little triumphs like making your bed first thing in the morning or going outside just for the fresh air. That's what works for me, anyway, choosing to do something that'll make you feel better about…
