“People living with obesity have an increased risk of cardiovascular disease but to date, there are no approved weight management medications proven to deliver effective weight management while also reducing the risk of heart attack, stroke or cardiovascular death”

Just shut up, bozo.

“Bozo” is such an underused insult these days.

Nobody needs a warrant to fly a drone over property in California. Are you the homeowner? Is that why you’re so butthurt about this? Clean up your trash dude.

The insurance agent sent to verify the conditions of the house and property likely took a drive by and (even more likely) never even had to get out of the car to see this hoarder’s junk piling up in the driveway. Anything you can see from the street doesn’t need a warrant to look at, you bozo.

If this guy was my neighbor, I would love to have an HOA.

My guess would be she’s quite dumb, and figured “if X mg/week gets me 0.25 lbs/wk loss, surely 4X/week gets me a full lb/week loss”, and has ramped up the dosage thusly. AKA the assumption of a linear response curve for the medication’s effect without considering if the side effects would also likewise scale too.

Pancreatitis is a not very common side effect. Truth is these drugs need to be onboarded VERY slowly otherwise you get vomiting, etc. With Ozempic you start with 1/4 mg per week for a few months. If you tolerate that then you go to 1/2 mg per week for a few months. If you tolerate that then you go to 1 mg per week for…

At this point, neither drug carries a label warning about possible gastroparesis, and it may take more research to confirm a causal link. There are other known risk factors for gastroparesis, including diabetes. And in some of these alleged cases, including Bjorklund’s, the patients have not been formally diagnosed…

There are an enormous number of people taking semaglutide (both for diabetes and weight loss - that number includes me) - we’d be seeing an epidemic of ER visits if the scale of her issues were common. We simply are not - the biggest issue most people have is nausea, which attenuates over time.

All drugs have unique…

Sorry, but...

It could also be the lifestyle changes a GLP-1 blocker forces on a person and that’s a hard thing to gauge. A GLP-1 blocker makes you want to eat less and makes your stomach always feel slightly ill (or really ill if you force yourself to eat anyway). For me this resulted in not wanting to go out to places and eat as…

Good for Reddit...it’s your company, don’t let a mob run it.

Maybe those mouth breathers mods will finally go outside and touch some grass

I also read this as 82% of people surveyed are complete idiots

Then cancel. It’s easy. Netflix is not a necessity. If it’s as bad as you say, why did 6 million more people decide they needed Netflix?

I can understand arguing in favor of, for example, allowing a child going off to college to share a password without additional charge to the account, but the general vibe I get from these articles is “how dare they crack down on any password sharing with anyone??!?” Netflix is a huge corporation driven by the…

How dare Netflix make customers pay to watch their content?

Still absolutely blows my entire mind that these people are so mentally deranged and have so little to occupy their lives that they continue to be obsessed with the fact that Bud Light gave a trans woman a small amount of money to promote a product for like 10 seconds 3 months ago.

Once again, insurance companies do not give a fuck about politics. All they care about is math and money. If the math doesn’t add up to money, they will go do business somewhere else. If the practice ESG or believe in diversity, it is because those things make them money, not because they are being run by “woke…
