I would 1000% watch a show based on QT's formative years. Call it QT Cringerella. And I mean that respectfully because holy hell do I relate to all her stories. In fact on this podcast they should allow listeners to write in some of their cringy early stories and they can read them. I fucking love this podcast so much.

The wine pour with the reverb was amazing. Also the wine pour is somehow becoming my favourite part of the podcast

I can’t believe this podcast is only 22% women? I assumed it was like 50% as a guy. Either way you guys are hilarious and yes as someone with a M.S. in Environmental Management & Statistics from UCSB and I definitely live vicariously through some of Maya’s videos. She is a a great human being and I’m glad I donated back in the day.

Antidepressants aren’t necessarily happy pills. They help a lot in allowing you to control your mood more and come back from low points like others can without intense rumination.

[@wabbab]

Yeah it leveled me out from having a two week cycle of flat for a week or so, good two days, then awful awful sadness. I've been on them for a few years now and recently upped my dosage and while I'm not perfectly happy now, it's a lot more manageable

[@cavedweller333]

Yeah, the ones i've had are more anti-emotion pills

[@pemcot9018]

Do y'all know what supplements QT is talking about?

[@furbytoothpaste]

@@pemcot9018 This is totally a guess, but from the way she was talking about how it interacts with anti-depressants and seritonin I would think she was talking about St. John's Wort. I would absolutely do your research before taking any supplements and ask a doctor if you can because many of these supplements can interact with other medications

[@oNorw]

[@Cole_McGill]

​@@sebdapleb1523how would it be parasocial, she could invite a bunch of people and post the lsit somewhere, so that they know who they can invite(maybe even allow them to choose someone not on the list). I mean it would still end is a shitstorm and people would try to say that QT didn't invite them for x, y, and z.

[@sebdapleb1523]

@@Cole_McGill parasocial's OG definition is that people think that they are friends with the streamer, but I kind of take it to also mean that they are too invested in their streamer's whereabouts and that they care too much about their streamer's relationships. I took OP's comment to mean that the streamers pretend to date each other. Imagine how shit everyone's chat's will be for weeks after that event lol. It's bait for parasocials.

Omg, omg, omg. I vote that qtcinderella makes a vlog just driving up to mayas- to prepare herself for a zombie apocalypse. Anyone else???

[@samanthaday5490]

As a New Orleans Vampire (NOV), you are spot on.

[@jetey26]

39:16 @QTCinderella when you are talking about how you can tell it's working because you notice yourself talking more and not feeling like it is pointless to open your mouth (or something like that), that is exactly what has happened to me in the past month. Before I watched that part when you mentioned it, I didn't realize how little I was talking to everyone for the past 2 years, it was like my entire world had shifted into focus. Your willingness to perservere through everything you have been through has given me a lot of courage to keep trying, thank you. Maya you're pretty short lol.

[@JemTootle]

as someone who is on antidepressants just want to say i had practically the same side effects and they went away and i felt a lot better for a while, i still have downs and a problem is that you have to use bigger and bigger amounts over time, still 100% worth compared to where i was before so just want you and anyone else reading this to know that antidepressants aren’t as scary as the first few times taking them make them seem

"we need programmers, but why would they save us?" As a programmer: we mostly work for the worst companies ever if we want money or make no money if the work is actually interesting (as in helps people in general or makes the world better in some way) Working to save a couple of streamers that release a weekly podcast to keep me entertained during the apocalypse? I may not last long, but goddamn I'd be there for sure

[@cawcaw9089]

[@adoribubble9110]

[@alfirstar]

Shout out to the small situation at around 44:35 - QT saying to "take [saying that she'll die] back" and after a light hearted banter Maya DOES take it back and they continue conversation. It's easy to just brush that ask aside since its such a silly thing from the outside perspective, and it's just nice seeing someone not get irritated with you and comply, maybe knowing that the silly thing actually does matter to you. Felt like OCD thing, maybe not, either way nice

[@joeliolioli4156]

Not 100% sure this is what Qt was talking about with the whole “if you see something no you didn’t” thing, but there is a similar thing with the Stairs in the Woods phenomenon. Basically Forest Service rangers, search and rescue crews and other woodsman type people have stories about randomly placed sets of stairs/staircases way out in the wilderness, including the Appalachian forests. Literally like a set of stairs from inside your house, just sitting in the middle of the woods somewhere. Rangers and search and rescue are told to ignore them, never go near them, and never EVER go up them

[@MichelleBVB]

I’m really happy to hear about the natural antidepressants working for you Qt! I started Prozac for anxiety & panic attacks and I have felt like a huge weight has been lifted off of my shoulders. ❤ mental health gang

Halfway between LA and Austin is Deming, NM, famously known as the place where the two halves of the *second* transcontinental railroad met, they also have a water park, a western museum, a border patrol training facility, *and* the worlds largest chili processing plant, sounds like the perfect place to wait out the apocalypse.

QT, Got to say. Love the way you explain how you feel. I am currently having issues where I feel the same way and your way of explaining it will help me make myself understood to my therapy . I think I will go back on antidepressants though, currently without it but last time i felt like this it helped me get back on my feet.

[@synthiandrakon]

The thing that grounds me and dismisses any intrusive thoughts about scary stories is just looking at the picture of Bigfoot. To know that this story that so many people seem to talk about and believe in and looking at the image and just being able to see with my eyes "that's obviously just a guy in a suit" that really helps

[@poshrat993]

Qt tells stories that are so cringy I genuinely wonder how she not only tells them willingly but also with a smile on her face. The belly thing made me physically recoil 😭

[@CrazyShawnTV]

Ya know idk any guy that would be embarrased that a cute girl wrote his name on her stomach I dont see that as embarrassing at all no no the embarrasing part is she got the kids fucking Moms up there with them like my god she musta watching that high school musical garbage or something like that to have thought that any of this would be ok

Every time qt talks about her high school experience I have flashbacks to my high school experience. I think every unpopular kid has the same experience in high school.

[@I.j.721]

Omg I was in the IB program & I'm pretty sure that's what QT was in. Also, you need to enroll in college & talk to them first so they can honor your college credit.

[@n0face2]

That wine pour was magical

[@imagoblin4802]

Yeah, what QT was talking about is in Appalachia. There are lots of stories of people hearing their name being called from the woods, or hearing the voices of people that shouldn't be there. Also mountain lions sound alot like women/ children screaming, and wild turkeys can make some terrifying noises

[@journeysilvers9838]

I was on Zoloft for about 3-4 years and I felt like it really helped in the beginning, but I went through such an extreme depressive phase that I ended up feeling like they were hurting more than helping. (In hindsight idk if they were actually the reason or if whatever new brand of depression I was experiencing was fully to blame), but I was having a lot of trouble with introspection and thinking creatively and feeling like I had any identity at all, tbh. Felt like the medication had stopped helping and was working against me and making me feel worse. I wouldnt mind giving whatever natural supplement QT was talking about a try, but she didnt drop a name... Im happy its helping her though

Originally a yard frog, came here for the ludwig guest ep. It's super dope to see therapy and mental health discussions be so normalized. Watching through the whole wine about it backlog as we speak!

[@portaltotheweekend_189]

Ya, QT is right. Lord of the Flies is a pretty common HS reading, I read it too in HS. QT mostly told the story right except I'm pretty sure the reason it was all kids was just because they were the only ones who happened to survive I think? Maybe I'm remembering wrong but thats how I remember it going.

[@0hbro]

(57:53) “That seems insane to read in high school” well I had to read A Thousand Splendid Suns sophomore year (public school in California). 🚨TW there’s su!c*de, abuse, child abuse, war, r*pe, child brides, etc. It’s the type of book that’s supposed to make you cry. Oh also side note: I had to yell at my teacher for her to add trigger warnings. This was during the online school year so people would try to read between classes but they’d get too depressed to continue

[@tgg_music2]

I live in Louisiana, not far from NOLA, and a friend of mine got invited to a vampire bar once. It feels like what you said is all accurate, but also there's truth to the historic vampires that lived there. There's probably a handful of those vampire bars around now, so there's no telling which one you went to (or if that one is even still around after hurricanes + pandemic) but theoretically some of the people in those bars practice old rituals and things associated with the historic vampires.

[@victoriaalldraw]

For why some AP credits are taken and some are not: it depends on the college. Most colleges will have information on what AP credits they take and how high you have to score in order to receive credit. For instance, I took an AP Sculpture class, and the college said they would not take that AP credit. So I didn't submit a portfolio and saved money.

Also important detail about siphoning gas: the destination of the gas needs to be lower than the source of the gas, otherwise it won't siphon. It's more than just sucking through a hose, you need gravity to keep the flow going. Have fun in the zombie apocalypse 👍

The unlimited budget question is so great. My first thought was to put on a live creator esports tournament. Different streamers of all variety go head to head each with differening skills.
