Waze is my go to. But Google Maps is far more stable.

I wish there was a “why” function in these navigation apps. There’s about four or five different ways I can go home from work, some are more practical than others. Sometimes Waze routes me through some crazy way (and doesn’t give reasonable alternative routes either) and there’s no way to tell if it’s because it’s 5

Yeah, this kind of thing.  Directions that just don’t make sense, that’s a better way to put it.  

I haven’t had issues with accuracy, but I have had concerns about difficulty. Sometimes Waze will recommend a route that “saves” a minute or two on paper, but is needlessly complicated. Unprotected left turns, lefts that require waiting for a light, going through an area with extra turns or lights, etc. The practical

Excuse me, Doctor? Taking pills for the rest of your life is basically S.O.P. when you are older. My wife, who can basically run rings around me and runs every other day at age 66, has a pace maker, and still takes 5 pills a day for various blood pressure (low) ailments. It is not a hardship once you are used to it

Let’s not judge a drug by its price.  EpiPens can be anything from free to $1,000, yet they are also anything from unnecessary to life-saving.  The science is separate from the capitalism.  

As an obese person, I’d 100% try this if my insurance would cover it for weight loss. It sounds a lot safer than bariatic surgery, and you can always go off Wegovy in a way that you can’t with the former.

Additionally, some activists and experts question the inherent value of antiobesity drugs and worry about the floodgates of medical fatshaming

I appreciate reading your experiences with us. I find it helpful to be able to put myself in someone else’s shoes and your sharing helps me (and others too I hope) learn some compassion for those different than the normal. I’m glad you’re (relatively) well despite being fat. Better fat and healthy than skinny and

“It was immediate, these alarms in my head, because I was like, ‘There’s no such thing as a game-changer drug.’”

Dosing is everything in pharmaceuticals. I guess you’d be surprised just how many drug therapies change depending on dosing. How many drugs are used differently just based on dosing. And finally, just how many drugs are almost literally the same but just have a large dosing of the active drug and then have something

I am not understanding this critique at all. The remark about how most drugs are only taken for a short-term... huh? Have you never known a person with cancer, or depression, or lupus, or HIV? Millions of people make lifelong commitments to things. That’s (sadly) very common.

I dont think most americans want any kind of message from him. Hes to self consumed and he thinks only he and his high tech cohorts know anything. Well i know they are all wrong because if you trust communist china you forfeited any qualifation you may have had for decision making.

Hey. Fifty-six and childless here. Cool as fuck.

And you, friend, sound like a pedantic high school sophomore who doesn’t get out much because nobody really likes being corrected on their word choice every several minutes lmao. I bet you’re on reddit right this moment, quietly seething about the normies in your life holding you back

You sound like an overweight incel who hasn't seen his own penis in three years, so...

Shut up, zuck

Oddly specific. Can you relate?

Lol naw I already know I ain’t cool
