I tried that, but it pierced through the leather and escaped
slaacaa@lemmy.worldto Not The Onion@lemmy.world•Woman divorces husband after ChatGPT reads his coffee grounds and predicts affairEnglish121·4 days agoI think correction is fine, as another comment said it’s a good way to get feedback and learn.
The problem with this comment for me was the condescension and the rudeness.

Reagan fucked it up for all of us in the 70s.

Now it is also prescribed for obesity, not just diabetes. And I think very much worth it from a societal perspective, as the healthcare costs of obesity are extreme.
They are, and they absolutely changed my life. I was never obese, but almost always overweight since childhood.
As an adult, I used Saxenda (liraglutide) for almost 3 years, prescribed by my gastro doc. I lost 25 kgs with it, out of which only 3 was muscle mass. I only needed half the max dose, and now they even have a newer and more effective formula.
I was afraid I would gain it back after stopping, as I was warned, but I stopped half a year ago, and I lost 5 kg more with only diet since then. And by diet I don’t mean starving myself, just switching to super healthy and natural stuff, and staying away from processed food.
Before this med, I ate too much, and even though I tried to stay away from stuff with added sugar or too much fat, it just added up. The drug took away my excessive hunger, and at the beginning I just ate less, but after a few months I also changed my diet to be more fresh and healthy, and the fat just kept melting away.
Now I’m in my mid 30s, and look better then ever, and also got rid of health conditions (like minor high blood pressure) that would cause a mess later. And again, I was never obese, only overweight, so I can’t even imagine the impact this would have on dangerously obese people.
Incredible technology, I think a lot of people will take these in the future. And my case shows that it’s not true that you have to take it forever: if you can adjust your diet and life over a period of a few years, your body will “heal” and help you to keep the fat down later.
Obesity is a disease, so it should be treated as such. It’s not more of a personal failure then getting lung cancer from smoking.
Yet tobacco companies are shamed and taxed, while the sellers of addictive junk foods and sugary waters are thrivingcand marketing for children.
And at the end, people are dying, and taxpayers are paying the cost for capitalist greed.
Such an amazing game. I’m not into RPGs but somehow got convinced to play this.
I don’t understand how I even had the energy to play 100+ hrs next to work. I often played until 2 am on weekdays, or woke up earlier to play.
I understand the complaints of the gameplay or controls, but the story and the characters are what makes this game special. It’s a journey I will never forget, some memories and feelings from it will stay with me forever
