Sertraline is an antidepressant. I've taken it. It worked fairly well for me. That said, if I told someone I was upping my dose and they said "that's art deco," I would assume they were referencing Sylvia Plath and L'Ennui via The Great Gatsby, and I would be impressed and agree.

And then I would be amused at their correct assumption that I, an LGBT white woman with depression, have familiarity with Sylvia Plath, and I would be impressed with their wit.

All that to say, you can just say anything, and sometimes you'll get lucky.

If you were a character in a book, you'd be my favorite character. Please take this as a compliment.

[-] flicker@lemmy.world 12 points 1 month ago

I do! Thanks!

Honestly, any comparison to Sam Vimes is a compliment. Unless it's the alcoholism.

She probably agreed because that is at least a seamless way of "acknowledging" some totally incomprehensible bullshit that a stranger just told her.

Not that I see how the sertraline dosage even came up, to be fair.

You'd be surprised what people will tell you. Although usually it's the customer and not the employee

I've met so many people who start giving me intimate details of their life after a mere greeting. Like, yo! Don't you have any filters?

Tbf, being told by a stranger that they are upping their dosage un-prompted is itself some totally incomprehensible bullshit. Too many of the people that do this will actually accept any response that isn't a direct attack on or distraction from their personal narrative.

sertraline is an antidepressant, for the curious but lazy.

Art deco is an architectural style from the 1920s, for the curious but lazy.

A barista is a usually tippable service worker of moderate status who is trained to produce a slightly better tier of coffee and related beverages, for the curious but lazy.

Curiosity is a car-sized Mars rover exploring Gale crater and Mount Sharp on Mars as part of NASA's Mars Science Laboratory (MSL) mission, for the tippable but coffee.

I was buying some edibles a few weeks ago and the guy behind the counter told me this cheap brand was infused with "nano technology." I laughed a hearty laugh and replied, "I'm sorry, did you just say those are infused with nano technology?" He looked me right in the eye and said, "yes." I bought the $6, 'nano technology infused' edibles lol!

[-] Cptmurph616@lemmy.ca 26 points 1 month ago

I overheard a budtender say that at my local dispensary too lol. Must be a marketing incentive.

It doesn't surprise me to learn that the guy at the weed shop doesn't know WTF he's talking about.

[-] JCreazy@midwest.social 26 points 1 month ago

Nobody at the dispensary knows anything about marijuana. You just get the same canned responses with every question.

[-] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 14 points 1 month ago

This is how the gray goo end of the world happens. Nano tech infused weed brownies.

[-] gmtom@lemmy.world 9 points 1 month ago

I mean, he /could/ be right. He probably isn't but he could be.

Nano technology doesn't refer exclusively to like nano robots it could also just be infused with nano particles of something.

I feel like I would just agree because I would assume that person is being weird and wouldn’t want to interact any longer than necessary.

Please don't, I'm not ready for new slang. I barely had a grasp on old slang.

[-] marzhall@lemmy.world 17 points 1 month ago

As an old, learning the new slang is a wonderful chance to learn words of power that will make everyone around you flinch under their force.

Utter a "that's bussin for real," and watch those around you fall to their knees, and add a "poggers" to hear them wail and grind their teeth. Sprinkle a "skibidi" in to really drive things home.

You're missing out on true power here.

It pleases me greatly when my kids take psychic damage from a simple incantation "sadge chat, no rizz for real for real".

If you barely had a grasp on old slang, new slang is just a second chance to get on with the times!

The meaning doesn't matter
If it's only idle chatter
Of a transcendental kind -
And everyone will say
As you walk your mystic way,
"If this young man expresses himself
In terms too deep for me
Then what a very singularly deep young man
This deep young man must be!"

I mean if you give a barista a hard time in conversation, what are they going to do besides consider you a fucking weirdo?

"that's so art deco" "I'LL KILL YOU FOR THIS"

if you act weird people will stop talking to you, welcome to this world

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 9 points 1 month ago
[-] DarkCloud@lemmy.world 10 points 1 month ago

The art deco period was a period of huge drug taking because it was before drugs were so restricted.

[-] RecluseRamble@lemmy.dbzer0.com 13 points 1 month ago

That sounds so plausible, I don't even know anymore whether or not there's sarcasm involved in this thread.

can confirm, you can just say things, and nobody will ask you any questions.

It's the weirdest fucking thing ever.
