I started watching out of boredom. Thornton plays an even more degenerate version of his character in Bad Santa.

Even watching with no background or expectations, I wouldn’t say it’s propaganda. It’s consumable media, not a docu series.

Wouldn’t not using these apps en masse drive them out of business? Then they’d have no platform to do their evil. Hardly a distraction. It’s a very rational boycott.

Agree big time. Or order directly from the restaurant. I usually call, then pick up. I get the food faster, and I know nobody has tampered with it.

Only time I’d even consider using delivery app is if my extremely sick. Even then, I have some canned soups ready to go.

It’s crazy how fast it builds up!

Just remember it’s your space. You can do whatever you want with it. It doesn’t all have to match or have a specific vibe unless that’s what you’re going for.

Every medication has a long list of adverse effects that could happen. So from your position, all drugs are bad for everyone. And nobody should take or be prescribed any drugs for any reason.

This doesn’t not mean they are not safe. People are not dying from these drugs. They aren’t causing harm to people. And places like the EU and Canada (or any place with a very strict drug regulations) would pull them from pharmacies if they truly were not safe. And doctors prescribe drugs based on the fact that the benefit outweighs the side effects.

Mental health drugs can shave years off people’s lives because they are so hard on the kidneys and liver. But taking those drugs gives people the ability to be productive in society. And the reduced lifespan is seen as a net positive for each person.

I am always happy to be educated on a topic I am not an expert in. But it seems like you just have prejudice for whatever reason and have no good sources or research journals to back up your claims.

I’m a minimalist. So every room in my house has a specific function. I don’t have more stuff than I need. I have a kitchen table and chairs. I have a couch and a tv. I have a bed. I never found the need to paint or buy art. My bed doesn’t even have a headboard.

I do have holiday decor. I have display cases for collection items. These things bring me joy and brighten the area.

It’s your space. You can do whatever you want with it. If you hate the vibe, you can change it. The only thing holding you back is your own budget and time.

You can rearrange, you can repaint, you can buy area rugs or carpets. You can buy new furniture. You can hire an interior decorator.

I quit 10 years ago because the bots were insane. The discourse was polarizing and truly showed how uneducated the masses are. Either that or my feeds were mostly bots made for engagement bait. I only miss some of the local pages I belonged to. But even those were filled with rage bait and the ignorant.

It always humored me to argue with someone in my neighborhood online only for them to completely be jovial to me in person. When I’d bring up their idiotic arguments they’d just walk away. Being outed as the village idiot in person still worked. But online, it was celebrated.

About 4-5 years ago, I noticed Reddit was catching up to that point in time when I quit facebook and Instagram. Bots, people who just want to see the world burn and a lack of serious and respectful discussion. Not that Reddit was ever respectful. But I’d find very insightful TIL or AMAs. It’s all disappeared.

Buying anything from Amazon. I canceled my Amazon prime over 20 years ago.

I was a heavy Amazon user. It was $60 for the year and when they changed the pantry from anything that fits into the box with free shipping to not free shipping i decided it’s time to quit.

Also, when I heard that the warehouse inventory is all co-mingled, so even if you buy your skin care and vitamins from the “official” retailer store there’s no guarantee that you’ll get a genuine product. I vowed to never buy anything from amazon that I would consume or put on my body. Even cleaning products, I’ve received fraudulent products. Once you know what to look for, it’s quite easy to spot.

I buy from Amazon maybe once a year. And it’s typically only for something I can’t find elsewhere. Like a specific gift a friend or family sends a link for.

It’s easier to shun problematic women from society (in this case fire her) than to educate and hold men accountable on how women are not objects, nor property.

Do you have literature to prove these aren’t safe?

The fact that they are prescribed world wide refutes your claim.

I hope you’re not one of those people who just hate fat people and want to force them to loose weight “the old fashioned way”.

These drugs have been on the market for long enough and they are very safe. I think issues arise when they are prescribed for people who don’t need them.

I’d like to loose 10 lbs. but for me to loose weight, I’d have to eat 1000 calories total each day. I don’t do that, because that’s not a healthy behavior, so I eat 1200. I don’t qualify for these medications, but I know there’s places I could very easily get a prescription. And perhaps that’s where the issue is.

Anecdotally, I know about 5 people on these meds and they all still get hungry. They all still eat. They do get full sooner, and eat small portions. All of these people were prescribed the medication from an actual dietitian. Not an internet doctor.

These medications are life changing for people with addiction, with food noise, and for those who have disabilities.

There is no shame in being prescribed weight loss drugs for those who truly need it.

Eh…. I’ve read that these drugs also help addictions. They turn off the receptors that tell people they need (insert addiction thing), to the point they no longer have an addiction.

As someone who is a health weight, but has constant food noise in my head, I’d love to get rid of that.

My partner takes one of these medications. It was life changing for them because they gained weight due to other medications. And it is likely they’d never loose it without that type of help.

What should be mandatory with a weight loss prescriptions is some other help. Food therapist for people who have eating disorders; dietician to coach people about how to make healthy choices, or what healthy food actually looks like. And even a gym coach. Because I’ve also read that lifting weights help offset the problem of people loosing muscle on the weight loss drugs.

I worry about this very thing. My partner was also a healthy weight until medications were necessary, and those meds automatically had them gain 20lbs. They might choose ice cream or a cookie for dinner instead of something actually healthy. And they won’t be hungry for anything else.

They never grew up with health education to teach them what is good for you and what is not. Weight loss drugs were prescribed without any other interventions. Without changing behaviors or education, this is a very real thing.

It’s ok to want a treat, but people on these drugs need to take extra care to ensure they are getting all the nutrients needed.

People too poor to afford a Doctor. So, unfortunately many people.
