  • Pharmaceuticals are life saving for people in various conditions whether thyroid issues, achieving a body that can exercise in the first place, or fast interdiction for diseases associated with excess body fat. But yeah i agree with your point if someone’s problem is their own choice in diet and exercise.

    When you go off GLP-1s you generally gain all that weight back. So when they’re discussed in the context of saving airlines on fuel costs it’s not that far a leap from cynicism about pharmaceutical companies being pretty excited about rising popularity in a take-forever-drug.

    Capitalism is so gross…


  • All trauma and people are different. I’m not prescribing anything.

    When i was going through mine from a severe work accident i had to not just sit with the feeling and adrenaline waking up after watching meaningless gore-filled horror shows in my dreams but push into it. Feeling it as hard as i possibly could telling myself that I WANTED and NEEDED to feel it, trying my best to think about every detail of it. It was horrible to experience that, but in the moment i was focused on seeing my trauma and getting to know it.

    It seemed the deeper into it i went the faster it receded over time. The worst of it, fits of adrenaline filled crippling anxiety, went from daily to null over 3 years. The wincing about the thought dulled over the following few. I settled at some point on just having a heightened internal sense of empathy. It’s probably why i avoid a lot of visual format social media.

    I hope you find a method that works for you. You may not get back to your old normal but you can get to a normal where you can live life in whole again free from this pain.






  • My experience:

    “I would like to schedule a vasectomy”

    “OK the specialist is avilable on these days, do one of those work for you? Also here’s some papera you’ll need to read and sign before your appt. Are you paying out of poacket or with insurance?”

    I should note i was lucky enough to have access to planned parenthood. Nevertheless, the statement in the firat comment on your link should work. 🤷








  • I think i understand you’re making hyperbole but i can say 5ft of snow in two weeks was pretty easy to manage and i was never stuck. Just had to clear the walkway/driveway on the daily for a bit. That and i was being a cheap-ass and doing it myself with a hand-held electric blower instead of paying for a plow like the rest of the neighborhood.

    It was definitely a lot of work back before when i just had a shovel. 125m(400ft) is a lot of ground to cover.





  • I guess yeah the only reason i felt like season 8 was a better production than Disney star wars was because of the previous 6-7 seasons building such a firm foundation. That’s a beautiful insult to them that their writing was seen as worse than the gold standard of slop at the time.
