politics @lemmy.world•HouseRepublican introduces bill seeking to make Greenland 51st state
7·7 days agoyeah that’s not how it works lmfao even if this passes and gets signed the world doesn’t just suddenly agree to its decree. it will not make Greenland our 51st state in any real capacity other than paperwork and no enforceable action at all. …so… ok lol. also, definitely gives us more Dem reps. that’ll work out in their favor for sure. Greenland would not run Red.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Those of you who cut off all comms with your parents, what would it take to mend things and reestablish contact?
291·8 days agonothing. my father is a fascist and refuses to acknowledge how homophobic and violent about it he was towards me as a teenager. he can apologize for the way he treated me but supporting Trump twice is unforgivable.
i could no longer stomach reddit and am uncomfortable using mainstream internet.

politics @lemmy.world•Federal agents shoot couple in Portland less than 24 hours after ICE killing of Renee Good
643·12 days agothis is contributing to the false narrative that ICE is legitimate. they aren’t. they should have never been established and must be abolished. not only that but their current iteration is acting on illegal orders by a fascist dictator president. even if what they’re saying is true it doesn’t justify their actions because they shouldn’t fucking be there in the first place.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•How do you successfully maintain a calorie deficit over the long run?
1·21 days ago…the hell are you talking about. i said it directly how more explicit could i have gotten? and no, your response is not relevant because again, i am not going off of these as we currently understand them. they are lifelong for me and should be for anyone taking them.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•How do you successfully maintain a calorie deficit over the long run?
4·24 days agoah sure! more than happy and willing to help how i can.
cost
yeah this is the biggest barrier. i am thankfully on state medicaid which is covering the cost, but when i had personal insurance i ended up paying $500/mo. however, the pill form is coming and is already available compounded. it should make things more affordable.
side effects
varies from person to person obv but i don’t have many: skin sensitivity, mild cramping, nausea on occasion, constipation. might sound like a lot but these aren’t 24/7 or disruptive. they are also treatable and i have lowered their frequencies by keeping hydrated and increasing fiber, stuff like that. i will tell you it is 100x better than the symptoms i had being morbidly obese.
regaining weight once off
well good news, these are lifelong lol. this is a common concern but it stems from Hollywood abusing the intention of these drugs going towards treating a chronic condition. you don’t lose 40 lbs and get off. GLP-1s treat your brain which then controls the metabolic disease you likely have. medicine will need to control it lifelong, there’s no cure.
when i started Zepbound i weighed 363 lbs. i am now 209 and continuing to lose. It’s been a year and one month. i will stay on these class of drugs until told otherwise by trusted experts and professionals. the amount of physical and psychological improvements have been worth any cost needed for this medication. i feel tremendously human for the first time in my life. i wasn’t restored, i was rebuilt.

politics @lemmy.world•Some Epstein file redactions are being undone with hacks
3·28 days agoof course they goddamn did ahahah nobody can tell a single one of them “no,” or “hey this isn’t a good idea.” they’re all smart, duh.





this is what fascism does. it erases history it dislikes. for a group priding themselves on valuing “the truth” they accept fucking none of it. their worldview is violent and sustaining poverty and techno-oligarchial control, but you say that and you’re some commie or whatever and now nothing you believe can be accurate. very good objective analysis with zero emotion on display.
