If "just learn[ing] some self control" was a viable solution we wouldn't have an obesity epidemic in the first place. It's not like obese people don't know they should be eating less and healthier foods.

I'm quite open about my usage in real life because I want to be honest about how I achieved my weight loss - I'll also show some pride in all of the lifestyle changes I made, but I don't hesitate to mention the GLP-1 use and

The morbidly obese people I know fall into two camps: Those that still want to reduce their weight: All of them are on GLP-1s now (and losing weight!) Those that had totally given up: They had long since stopped attempting anything to reduc

I disagree, and have direct personal experience in having cars moving towards me at that sort of range and that sort of speed. I was afraid I might get my foot run over or bashed about a bit, but it was plainly obvious to me, even in the mo

by cthalupa 9mo ago
Nothing in that video, even if taken at face value, disagrees with a single point I made. The ICE agent is maybe pushed by a car moving at low speed. Maybe. He is still never in danger of losing his life or being seriously harmed. The car s

As others have noted, I don't understand how anyone can view that video and believe that any ICE agent was at risk of losing their life, but shooting at someone behind the wheel of a car that is heading towards you is not the correct w

Holding a random person to the same standards for judgment as the people we are entrusting the enforcement of law, sometimes with deadly force, is an insane thing to do. It doesn't matter if she was impeding an ICE smash and grab. It d
