Madman? He knew exactly what he was doing. He’s a maga murderer.

The church is large and complex and run by many different people. It has been a force for good and evil all along.

If they spent half as much time monitoring wmright wing murderers as they do peaceful left wing movements, the country would be a lot safer.

What do you think they should do? Go to Minnesota and wack two Republicans to balance the legislature back out?

I would hang out with me. I would play boardgames and learn about obscure subjects that I am interested in.

I would have trouble coordinating schedules with myself.

It’s terrifying in many ways.

Millennial, briefly experienced a life with limited access to information.

You are capable of more than you think. You wrote phone numbers down and memorized your own. You memorized the ones you used regularly. I had 7-8 friends and family numbers memorized.

You also only needed one phone number per household.

When you needed to know something like how to fix a car or replace a light bulb you asked someone. Often An uncle, aunt, or cousin. If nobody in your friends/family group knew, you went to the library.

Yellow pages and magazines and instruction manuals were constantly floating around with information. I never felt deprived of curiosity. I read a lot.

Katy Perry. She got brain rot from dating Russel Brand.

They are not our ally and you are arguing a strawman.

I suspect that when the holiday was getting going, it was spread by music, and “July 4th” doesn’t carry the lyric … Utility of “fourth of July”

The phrase “Born on, the fourth of, July!” Is buried in my consciousness but I can’t name the song or any other lines to go with it.

They will scrape us for training data.

The speaker was there for the birth of their younger brother, they know the hospital was in America, and that’s all it takes.

Their older brother was already alive when they were born, so their brother, parents, and the government could be lying about older brother, which, by nessesity, means the parents aren’t American either.

It’s implying that anything you didn’t witness personally you can’t be certain.

REPUBLICANS in Congress have abdicated their constitutional duties. A few Democrats are collaborating.

“Though it’s also possible that public schools will close and only the wealthy kids will be well-educated… can we not, please?”

Trump and Republicans would like nothing more than to turn this country into another Russia where your kids have to pay through the nose go abroad to get a decent education.

Brave New World? No, the rulers aren’t that benevolent.

1984? Still no, they aren’t that competent.

We are heading for fareinheit 451.

I use one.

I believe everything you have said here. I haven’t looked it up recently but it’s certainly plausible. I don’t think ozempic is a miracle drug, just one drug that will be widely prescribed like statins and blood pressure drugs have been.

Certainly it would be better to get the benefits of ozempic from diet if we could. We should pursue those other avenues I mentioned earlier. I see people struggling with access to Ozempic and other glp1 meds every day and speak to on average half a dozen of them, and the denials and roadblocks out healthcare system throws up has worn on me.

“Again, I just want to again reiterate: Literally everything Ozempic does positively, from dementia to cravings to weight-loss, can be achieved by eating a healthy diet. Period. Full stop.”

I’m not ignoring you. It’s just not relevant. People could eat better, but nobody does. I see the people around me all my life everyone is dieting and resolving to change their behavior and buying healthier food and going to weight watchers and having bariatric surgery and they are NOT losing weight and they are getting diabetes and suffering chronic pain and many of them are becoming disabled.

If anyone could do it, it wouldn’t be a society wide issue. 60-70% of the people in my city are overweight and the percentage goes up over time. Sure, technically, anyone could change their diet, but they won’t.

Maybe we need to change our transportation infrastructure so biking is easier and walking more reasonable. Maybe we need to change our food regulation so our groceries and restaurant food is less processed. Maybe we need to change our taxation structure to encourage the production and consumption of healthy foods. Maybe we need to do all that, but people know what healthy diets consist of and they DO NOT eat that way. Sugar and fat and cheese and meat and deep fried deep fry are delicious and people will eat delicious food far in excess of their needs and telling people to eat their vegetables is tone deaf, counter - productive, and ultimately, cruel.

Nobody around me is suffering from malnutrition. Meat is very nutritious. That is why our bodies crave it. Bread is fortified with micronutrients. Yes, eating more leafy greens would benefit basically everyone where I live. But Lectures are worse than useless, when obesity is killing and maiming people every day.

Factually correct and wrong in every way that matters.

Have you struggled with oveeating? Food is as addictive as nicotine but you have to have it every day, just not too much.

That’s not realistic. Not for the majority. It’s just not.

That’s all true.
