  • What are the under discussed risks/horror stories of Ozempic and other GLP-1 medications?

    Jump

  • Ooo, I've got one!

    Last Saturday, I was knocked off my feet with a stomach virus.

    Because the meds slow down your digestion, it was difficult to, um, expel the illness in the usual, fast manner. I started feeling slightly better on Wednesday, but the issue wasn't really resolved until Friday morning.

  • What flag to fly?

    Jump

  • I don't have a flagpole. I want to put one in, but my wife objects.

    The reason she objects is because she thinks it will make us a target.

    I want to fly a pride flag under the American flag. The point being that the American flag stands for all Americans, not just the Americans who agree with the current regime.

    I'd probably change the lower flag from time to time, depending on events, time of year, or my mood.

  • Do you think the situation in Iran will escalate regionally?

    Jump

  • Where is here? Are you taking about terrorist cells?

  • Shouldn’t the Surgeon General Have a Medical License?

    Jump

  • I'd argue that the surgeon general should have a medical license and at least a decade of two of clinical work, ideally with some administrative experience as well.

    However, that would work against the number one requirement for anyone to get a job in this administration: be dumber than President Pedophile.

  • British planes ‘in the sky’ in Middle East to defend allies after US strikes on Iran

    Jump

  • Who fighting who?

  • What's the best thing that happened to you this week?

    Jump

  • Yeah, the week is looking better. Had a couple scrambled eggs this morning for breakfast and a baked potato for lunch.

    If it all goes well, I can be back to eating the unhealthy crap I usually eat tomorrow 😁

  • What's the best thing that happened to you this week?

    Jump

  • Well. I got sick on Saturday. Stomach bug.

    The best thing that's happened to me this week is I was able to eat a few saltines last night.

  • I know which one I am.

    Jump

  • Am I the only person who puts glasses in the cabinet upside down?

    Also: left side, but flipped.

  • Do you think "coconut water" is corporate propaganda and it should be called "coconut juice"?

    Jump

  • I considered making a "Meet the Parents" reference, but I'm not happy with what I've come up with.

    Well, what the hell.

    "I have nuts, Greg. Can you milk me?"

  • How come in American classrooms they make another language an elective. Why not teach our kids as many languages possible that way if we go somewhere we will kind of have uper hand?

    Jump

  • For me personally, I wish Latin had been an option for me, as it's used extensively in biology and it would have been incredibly helpful.

    My wife and I studied Latin in middle school and high school.

    My kids were also able to take Latin in school.

    Rather than list all the benefits of learning Latin, I found this, Top 10 Reasons For Studying Latin, which says it better than I could.

    I would struggle to translate anything today (although I still know that all of Gaul is divided into three parts), but I know I have benefited from an improved understanding of English grammar and vocabulary.

    Fight for Latin in your schools!

  • ‘We’ve been paying for happy endings for Andrew for years’: the inside story of a royal disgrace, by his biographer

    Jump

  • Then in the US, where the one decent thing to come out of the revolution was licking out the monarchy, you've got a while crop of traitorous morons trying to establish one here.

    I was always disgusted by the way my fellow citizens seemed to crave a monarchy. I see now that they were just waiting for a person vile enough to qualify.

  • The "western hemisphere" rubs me the wrong way

    Jump

  • You can say that if you wish, but it makes you sound like you just don't want to admit you were wrong.

    There's plenty to blame the U.S. for, but it's important to be honest if you want to be taken seriously.

  • The "western hemisphere" rubs me the wrong way

    Jump

  • That's what I was thinking.

  • The "western hemisphere" rubs me the wrong way

    Jump

  • According to the Oxford English Dictionary, the first known use of the term, "Western Hemisphere", is from the writings of Sir Thomas Browne in 1646.

    It doesn't really make sense to blame its creation on the U.S, as it predates us by more than 100 years.

  • Islamic police in Nigeria arrest nine Muslims for not fasting during Ramadan

    Jump

  • Nothing says true religion like using police to force people to follow it.

    "When a Religion is good, I conceive that it will support itself; and when it does not support itself, and God does not take care to support it so that its Professors are obliged to call for the help of the Civil Power, 'tis a sign, I apprehend, of its being a bad one."

    -Benjamin Franklin

  • Why does cats (and similar animals) can live with the exact same food every day, but we (humans) need a variety of food to survive?

    Jump

  • That's true, but we're not cats.

    It's can be difficult to change a cat's food. You have to gradually introduce the new food mixed in with the old food, or the cat may just refuse to eat it.

  • OpenAI is Suddenly in Trouble

    Jump

  • I just looked up a 2TB M.2 SSD I bought in November of 2024 for $179.99.

    It's $419.99 now... Only 1 left when I checked.

    Luckily I don't need it. However, I'm wondering when I'll run out of storage on my media server.

  • Government considers removing Andrew from royal line of succession

    Jump

  • I'm assuming that the reason he shared state secrets with Epstein is because Epstein had something on him.

  • ICE is quietly buying warehouses for detention centers and leaving local officials out of the loop

    Jump

  • The supremacy clause of the Constitution means that the federal government is not required to obey local zoning laws.
