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.

The brain is great at creating patterns where none exist :)

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

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 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.

Skibidi is so cromulent, brosef.

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

[-] marzhall@lemmy.world 17 points 6 months 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!"

That's so art deco

[-] unreasonabro@lemmy.world 11 points 6 months ago

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

Do you suppose most may only be half or quarter-reading too?

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 6 months ago

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