I fall into that category, and am still mildly hopeful there might be one or two more chances to hop on board. My rent increased by close to 20% this year (US, FL) to the point where paying my old rent with a $250 month to month penalty is

I'm not up to date on if there are any counter opinions to this, but I've heard that placebo's are similar in effect to SSRIs[1] - Though as always there's a lot of buts/ifs there.[2] My assumption is that a placebo
