The poor of today (in developed countries) live absolutely lavish lifestyles compared to the middle class of 80 years ago.

It's not like it's impossible unmedicated. Plenty of people have and will do it. Obviously most people are unable to. I was always surprised just how few prediabetics did though.

Sure, and I totally get your issues. I was a damned wedding photographer and I'd only eat towards the very end of the night, and still had a few iffy days. As I stated, I originally tried semaglutide with no luck. I didn't try t

Sure, obviously there's no real way to compare that. I was just pointing out that the way it makes people feel isn't natural - as in, that's not how most skinny people feel either.

I apologize for ruining your day, that wasn't my intention. As I stated in my post I don't doubt that obese people have screwed up that signaling over time. Are your cravings off medication worse than mine? Probably. We'd

I mean, yeah. You could always just lose weight and probably get out of being prediabetic.

I’m sorry, but as one of the rare (decently) fit & nondiabetic people that have taken these drugs I’m going to call out your comment a bit. While I have no doubt that obese people have gradually made appetite control harder for themselv

DNP makes you burn fat, so technically it’s possible. It’s also dangerous as hell.

Huh. I’m at a healthy weight but I’m taking retatrutide for IBS and it’s working wonders. Very low dose, though. I originally tried it with semaglutide before the weight loss craze kicked off and the first few days of the week were worse an

It's more like its being sucked up by special education, ESL, etc.

Oh come on. The fingers being slightly spread isn't exactly a huge difference. The real difference between both of them and what the nazis did is that when they moved their hand to their chest first (which they certainly didn't a

They did the exact same motion, just a little slower. Sorry for the Twitter link, it was stupid hard to find a good comparison video: https://x.com/stillgray/status/1929070220921942470?ref_src=t... For the record

Ah, but here's the kicker - we are a small school. My graduating class had 140, and it's shrunk since then. I believe the grades are now about 110-120 each or so. However, we have some very successful sports programs. The girl

Do you feel the same about Cory Booker's "nazi salute?" With the right prompt I'm sure PC-less Grok would have gone full black supremacist as well. Apparently at the same time it was blaming stuff on jews it was also s

As an addendum, my wife just messaged me about getting our daughter a worse child seat because ours is rated for 50 pounds. In Minnesota's new laws that means she needs to be rear facing until she's 50 pounds. She's a few m

Apparently in our school you straight up won't be able to play in the regular school teams unless you do the travel teams starting in elementary school, because everyone else does it. Therefore, your child won't be as good as the

We only have a 3 year old and a baby, but my wife and I have already argued a bit about this. She's all in on the sports train - it was a large part of her life growing up for her and her siblings. I, on the other hand, did a lot wit

That lasted for literal hours before they changed it back. It was clearly just shitposting in a 4chan style way.

While well intentioned, car seat laws have gotten a bit insane. Minnesota recently implemented some pretty nonsensical ones that are dependent on if they've outgrown their seat. How are cops supposed to know if they outgrew their seat

That's true. However, I worked as a photographer for about 10 years (quit about 2 years ago) and high school senior photos were one of my specialties, so I got to know a lot of teenagers. Overscheduling is, I think, the biggest issue.

I made another comment about this, but I went to a psychologist as a teen and found it absolutely useless. To be fair, I was sent for silly reasons - I was tired all the time and it was an actual undiagnosed medical issue they just figured

I recently used ChatGPT (o3) for a therapy-type question for the first time - how to deal with absolutely hating birthdays/other special days aimed at me like father's day. It gave some good pointers on how to handle it, it expla

Everyone has issues. For instance, I have idiopathic hypersomnia - I'm tired literally all the time. I don't get to say "Sorry wife, I'm just not going to be able to work." There are things we're good at and

Oh, come on. “It takes me 15 minutes to get to my destination. I should leave 5 minutes earlier than I need to in case there’s traffic or whatever.” Set an alarm for 20 minutes before you need to get there, and leave when it goes off. Done.

Now that they've cleaned it up it isn't so bad, but browse Civit.ai a bit and that'll still be confirmed - just not with real people anymore.

Fun personal fact - the only reason I didn't invest more in Bitcoin (which would have definitely been enough to be FU money) was because I had some E-Gold when it was shut down.

That’s just the naturalistic fallacy. I’m sure there are some places in the world with lead or cadmium or whatever in their water - does that mean we should be adding it to our water supplies if we found out it was good for our teeth at the

I’ve personally read many people say that AI is worthless when their only exposure to it is through Google search. Just spitballing here, but it almost seems like a deliberate way to buy themselves some more time before needing to transitio
