Without antidepressants, you and all the other weak will individuals would have to learn how to handle your emotions and life's ups and downs on your own. Like the rest of us. GOD FUCKING FORBID.
that's like saying a cancer patient dying an agonizing death from cancer shouldn't take pain medication, but learn to deal with life's scrapes and bruises like any other person

Time travel is impossible. Once something has happened it is no longer in existence. It has records of it happening, there is evidence that it DID exist, but after something occurs, or before something occurs, it isn't in existence. Time is not a physical thing, and it cannot be altered.

It's a variation of the Fermi Paradox (if there are so many potential life bearing planets in the universe, why haven't we heard anything, since we've been sending out radio signals and probes and things why haven't we seen anything?). Surely, if unlimited time travel were possible, would we not see time tourists all the time?
the two most likely explanation seem to be
1) Time travel, in the sense that you can revisit any arbitrary previous timeframe, is physically impossible.
2) For humans, there is no future due, for instance, to cataclysmic warfare or divine intervention.
