As I understand it, one of the reasons GLP-1 agonists seem to affect so many different things is that evolutionarily, it does not seem at all surprising that a huge number of things are hooked on the hungry/full signal.

- jrockway 11mo agoWhat is your definition of "vaguely disabled"?

- bavent 11mo agoYou should be a better parent then, and teach your son to not judge other people so harshly.
- monero-xmr 11mo agoI’m commenting about how “tHiS iSn’T ReAl!!!” comments are so hilariously off-base, so much so my own child and his friends comment on how absurd the number of 20 to 30 something cane people are everywhere
- bavent 11mo agoAnd you don't think, "hey this is a learning opportunity for them, I can teach them the value of minding their own business, not judging people based on how they look, not making assumptions about people based on what I see" ? I don't think you're really helping your point the way you think you are. You said yourself they call them derogatory terms.
- monero-xmr 11mo agoI think it says something more about society that a significant chunk of our young adults have convinced themselves they have some sort of unspecific, incurable, un-diagnosable malady. It's actually super fucked up
- bavent 11mo agoI think it says a lot about you that you look at people and automatically assume your assessment of them is accurate. That you allow your child to talk shit about them.

- jnovek 11mo agoI’m one of those people who have a nonspecific disorder. I get plenty of exercise both aerobic and strength training. It helps with maybe 30% of my pain. People who play armchair doctor only make things worse for those of us who are actually disabled.
- monero-xmr 11mo agoWhat is your aerobic exercise?
- jnovek 11mo agoMy workout routine was prescribed by an MD who specializing in pain, specifically targeting my areas of pain. Then it was reinforced over eight weeks, four days per week, six hours per day by a team of two physical therapists and one occupational therapist in a pain management program. The program follows the bio-psycho-social model of pain management. That said, I’m not going to share details with you because your other comments in this thread indicate that you intend to argue in bad faith. However, if anything I said seems interesting, feel free to google! The bio-psycho-social model is very interesting, it’s the first real advance in pain management since we lost opioids as an option. These kinds of disorders — the ones you think aren’t real — are really disabling. I genuinely hope that you (or really anyone) never find yourself in this position, it’s truly miserable.
- monero-xmr 11mo agoI would be concerned if it has not solved your pain. Physical therapy did very little for me and the exercises they recommended because it is so weak. HIIT and core strength training was far more beneficial for pain
- jnovek 11mo agoOK! Good luck, I hope you’re never disabled, you won’t enjoy it.
- dragonwriter 11mo ago> Notice the absurd number of young, frail people with canes and masks. I don't notice an absurd number of young, frail people or young people with canes. There are a larger number of people of all ages masking than was the case pre-pandemic (especially outside of the ethnic groups where precautionary masking was common pre-pandemic) but...I don't think that's particularly a sign of changes in health status as it is of changes in perception of external environmental conditions and associated health risks.
- SoftTalker 11mo agoIt appears that it might be even more generically the "need/satiated" signal.
