A Freeman Learns

I loooooove getting rejected. People should reject more. It's the "maybes" and ghosting that's just like too much. A firm but polite "no" is infinitely more respectful of everyone's time and feelings. Can we just do that?

You guys know this is a pretty normal human want and not a special accomdation to be saved for people with autism right?

Every town with a population between 5k and 50k has a similar story to "we used to have a gorgeous 3 story opera house/theater, but it was torn down in the 70s and replaced with a furniture store. The furniture store went out of business and now the building is vacant. It's been vacant longer than the opera house was vacant"

The other day my wife told me about this influencer who said she needed to go on ozempic so she could go from 130 lbs down to 115 and I really cannot stress the degree to which we have so COMPLETELY lost the plot with this glp1 shit. Like not only are people are going on this shit for purely cosmetic purposes, the cosmetic purposes are delusional. This is the kind of mindset that gives people eating disorders but now because you can get a prescription instead of having to starve yourself or enduce vomiting a big swath of the general public seems eager to go along with it. Body Positivity did not go fucking far enough because I am being so real when I say that fatphobia is more of a public health crisis than obesity has ever been

It really is delusional, because people on Ozempic look worse than when they started, weight loss or no. Yeah, you dropped 40 pounds on Ozempic but your face would make Skeletor jealous. You look like you should be riding on a black horse while holding a set of scales and talking about upping the price of grain. You look like the "after" picture of a Communist takeover.

That's because they are starving themselves and speeding up the wasting process. Ozempic without extremely strict diet and exercise causes the body to start cannibalizing its own bones, organs, and any fat it can find. And maintaining a consistent diet is even harder to do because the drug tricks the body into thinking it is constantly full and sated with a healthy, nutritious meal, which makes people just stop eating, instead of only eating healthy portions and foods. The lack of exercise makes the body go "guess we don't need this" and since their diets usually start lacking any major source of protein, up to half of the weight loss is coming from all the places people should not lose mass from.

You can go to the doctor for nearly anything, even just to update paperwork, and they'll start offering GLP1s without any reason. Big Pharma is raking in money and getting people to call this shit a "miracle drug" because it will cure obesity, because it gives people an eating disorder without all the puking. And for some fucking reason, it's treated like it's a good thing because people are losing weight, but they are destroying their bodies in other ways which will potentially do serious long-term harm.

I need to stop fucking doing this to myself

i think you should give it one more try, just to make sure
