For a minute I thought this was /2meirl4meirl

Also for me personally a phd and sad-meds-sex are both things I'm not getting so this joke has legs

But, in the end you get a really awesome piece of paper that doesn't fit in any normal frame!

[–] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 18 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I'm sure you can get the tissue paper you cleaned up with into a regular frame.

Tissue falls apart. Use a wash rag or bandana.

They arent as ubiquitous as the frames with round numbered side lengths but you can get A3 frames

I generally think the rule on splitting infinitives was made up by English majors upset that English isn't more compatible with Latin, but in this case I think the attempt to avoid the split made the sentence weaker and ruins the sentiment.

"Trying to not kill yourself" implies effort. It sounds like you're actively avoiding something. "Trying not to kill yourself" sounds like you're doing something different, to change it up.

You're right. There's no actual rule in English that you can't split infinitives. It was copied over from Latin in an attempt to try to come up with some rules for grammar.

This sentence made me want to kill myself.

Just kidding

Have you you tried antidepressants?

[–] shalafi@lemmy.world 10 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Had to quit the depression meds because I couldn't cum, even if I did manage to care enough to try fucking.

Different meds can have different effects on different people

I tried half a dozen different meds before I got a different diagnosis and prescription

Each one came with its own unique set of side effects (like 1 anti anxiety drug that gave me panic attacks). Sometimes you've got to try a bunch before you get the one that works for you

This isn't too uncommon for some meds.

But interestingly the same meds can sometimes help people who suffer from premature ejaculation.

Brb, getting depression real quick. Will check back later.

[–] biomatrix9@sh.itjust.works 3 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

It's been 17 hours! Dude, are you alright?

[–] Speculater@lemmy.world 1 points 2 hours ago

Didn't work.

[–] FromPieces@lemmygrad.ml 1 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Okay so.
I... have a friend...
who has difficulty ejaculating with a partner but never with masturbation. He thinks because the problem never arises with masturbation, it couldn't be caused by medication. Is this logic sound? Or could his antidepressants be the reason he's limp-dicked for real women?

Surprisingly accurate 💀
