Didn’t care about the specifics of a particular one over another. My take is that promoting the ‘fix’ of something via chemical intervention that wasn’t a widespread problem until relatively recently is the wrong approach.
This is not something caused by genetics or some novel disease targeting the USA public, it’s a change in recent decades of our diets and lifestyles.
Pills and shots of any sort are only masking the underlying issue, regardless of their mechanism.
Which is quite a lot of words to say eating too much no-nutrition highly processed fast food/easy-prep bullshit.
I’m not disagreeing in the least that the mass of HFCS and salt laden garbage is a big driver of it. However, those things only are allowed to become the staples of our diets that they have because people are too complacent and willing to open the freezer rather than do a bit of whole food kitchen work.
I’ve made it a point to learn what I can to avoid the loss of capability to make decent food for ourselves. As I say to my kids, I worry there’ll be a day when Grandma’s famous thanksgiving pie comes in a box from Sarah Lee.
The workings of any particular variant are largely irrelevant.
In effect it still promotes the idea that rather than eat better and live healthier that your problems should be solved with a pill or shot.
Edit: Since diet and exercise are so unpopular here, I’ve yet to see anyone explain how it is that the average obesity rate in the USA has grown so significantly over the past century in anything beyond a ambiguous ‘medical condition’ or ‘genetics’.
The makeup of the human species hasn’t so dramatically evolved over the course of a few generations, that’s simply not how evolution works, but somehow despite supposedly nobody overeating and everyone getting plenty of good exercise we’ve gotten to a point where Americans are globally stereotyped as being big fat slobs.
Maybe? I dunno, seems a way for people to treat it as a get out of guilt free card. Some types work as stimulants to promote burning more calories rather than helping minimize intake.
The guy is an over eager would be tyrant, and the rest of his party knows they’ll be the ones in firing range when people finally get sick of him. Slowly it starts to show that he’s lost the plot and needs to be ousted…
So keep jabbing yourself full of weight loss drugs so you can consume more empty fast food calories.
In the mean time, vaccines bad and should be hidden. It was less than a year ago when the health department made some sense.
I sometimes think he’s just scared of the spooky pen moving like a ghost was using it…
Not that I pay attention to the platform, but I gather these where prominent accounts claiming to be real muricans who totally supported prez turnip but where entirely fabricated. In theory an account either needs to be legitimate, or marked specifically as a parody of some sort.
Given Alabama’s rep as the punchline of incest jokes I’m not sure ‘One Alabama’ is a great slogan. We’re all one big family…
Crockoffs one could say
The people planning the update to X, IT staff don’t tend to make changes to public facing interfaces without having some level of an idea what that change is going to bring.
Given the tendency for a lot of political talk on there, and the owners recent adventures in doge land I can’t believe someone hadn’t looked into this before pushing to prod.
There are certainly enough folks on the fedi who see anyone not showing off their hammer & sickle tattoo as being another ‘blue maga’ who should be shunned.
They would have know this before putting it public, and someone signed off on the deployment. Here’s a bet that Musk or his surrogates got a nasty gram from the whitehouse telling them to shelve it.
That constant feed of notifications and prompts to partake in the daily/hourly event/contest/whatever from a bunch of apps is enough to make the most resilient mind kinda twitchy and anxious. This isn’t surprising in the least.
Tried, but things got so slow the picture hasn’t made it here yet.
When you suddenly realize how disposable you are to the cult if you dispute the word of their deity…
I’m something of an outlier in the use level for sure with all the self hosting. When my kids starts downloading these several hundred GB games for the consoles though that take hours to pull it can sure eat the bandwidth up. Makes me wonder what the more typical home user’s average is.
There’s a fiber build in progress around here that I expect is going to kill all the existing local carriers, or at least force them to drop prices by a drastic amount. Nothing close to $5 though.
That last mile thing would make a lot more sense if the carriers kept enough staff to have appointments not take a week. Add to that the wireless carriers around don’t have much price advantage either, but that’s mostly a ‘fuck you, we can’ pricing I figure.
The joys of living in the corn fields.
You’re going to try and compare lack of understanding about a mental condition to people physically getting wider?
