MemberI'm going to be really angry if you're lying about the free ice cream on Fridays. Where were you yesterday?!

Btw folks, the idea to raise more awareness via social media hasn't been abandoned, it's just been put on hold as the timing isn't right. Let's do something special later in the year and I hope to see as many of you on board as possible.
My mom's best friend recently got tinnitus and is really upset and unhappy about it. She has already done what most of us have, she saw her GP and she paid to see a private ENT because she didn't want to wait, and she got no benefit from either. I asked my mom for her number yesterday and then rang her because I know how isolating and lonely this condition can be when you believe that nobody understands what you're going through. She was almost in tears as I spoke to her because I guess it was a relief to finally talk to someone who understood what she was going through. I did my best to reassure her and that's all I could do.
If we all pull together we can raise awareness on a scale that simply hasn't been achieved yet, but this can only happen if every single person takes a form of action, and this includes all the lurkers. The time for just words has long gone. It's time to step up. Help all you can with Tinnitus Hub's current projects, and then when the timing is right, let's launch an all-out assault on social media.

This is important. Let's make an impact. Instead of doing the same thing every year let's try something different.
I think the dividing line for me in determining freewill is how much people are amenable to change from rote behaviors. This is what "payoff" in a movie usually entails, a character that goes through an epiphany of some kind and becomes better because of it. In reality that is pretty uncommon and on the internet rarely do you see anyone's posting behavior/netiquette change (think JohnAdams). This is why the NPC meme exists. The more you learn about human nature the more robotic and to-type people tend to be.
If the hand of time was re-round ten years. Would that imply EVERYTHING until now would be played out 100% the same? Simply due to physics and chemistry
In this scenario is everything the same? Or is there any new knowledge that the subjects of the repeat decade have that they didn't have before?

@JohnAdams hey man, I hope you at least come back to the research threads and contribute there. You were the only person to find that patent data for the Hough pill and I really appreciate you finding scientific sources that I couldn't. I've always admired that about you, and value the scientific discussions you've sparked.
I don't agree, it's been nice to not have him posting. The vibes are better without him.
Scientific information (links to lesser known publications especially) and discussion is harder to come by than good vibes. Can't people that don't like him just put him on ignore?
I think I see what you are getting at and it's a very interesting thought exercise.
It really does feel like that. Some people are really their own people, others [RUN]{Lifescript}

Nah, it's almost like they want to insult him, get him angry, so he comes back and dishes out some more. Rather than he comes back and contributes. It's like some kind of weird masochism.
before you even walk into the office, they already have a pre-approved flowchart for CBT, ACT, ototoxic pain killers and a flowchart to teach you psychological resilience propaganda.

What do you have against psychological resilience?
I mean, what do any of us lean on daily in order to avoid jumping off the nearest bridge?
It's not that these things should be used as an excuse to pursue real treatments, but if none of us developed coping mechanisms, either independently or through a clinic of some kind, we'd probably all be dead by now. So I don't really get all the haterade.

I think we should vote who gets the Pope position. I'm tossing my hat in the ring...
1. We all have fun.
2. I will give full support to the cause.
3. There will be free coffee, tea, and everyone gets their choice of a free kitten, dog, or a pony, plus apple pie and ice cream, their choice of cones or gallon buckets.
Vote Elmer B Fuddled.
I have these oldschool photoshop plugins from 2002 and run them on a program called "Real World Paint" http://www.rw-designer.com/image-editor
