@CaptMylo What an amazingly fun treasure hunt, and thanks for sharing it with us. Most people dump their absolutely worst trash, oh the stories I can tell, but you're really being blessed with this house
it's unclear if most ppl realize that ozempic’s real effects on culture haven’t even started.
cuz what you’re seeing now is the first order effects & some glimpses of second order where ppl get thinner & some products experiencing a resurgence.
but the second & third order effects are where things might get gnarly due to the fact that these drugs seem to dampen desire itself across a surprisingly wide range of behaviors (it's not universal or obvious yet). food is simply the first & most obvious target.
liek what happens when millions of people suddenly spend less time thinking about consumption? what happens to industries built around cravings, indulgence, impulse purchases, addiction loops, or even certain forms of entertainment?
entire sections of the economy assume humans will remain governed by the same reward circuitry we’ve had for thousands of years. if these drugs meaningfully alter those circuits, we’re talking about a tool that edits human motivation.
we are gonna see thinness but in a lot of diff ways it seems like.
@Fansdepantallas This series has everthing, a soon to be leader of the gypsy community who is secretly gay, his ambitious fiance, corruption in the Vatican, it grabs you from start to finish
There's no more accurate a metaphor for the West than slowly bleeding to death by the hand of barbarians while corrupt authorities tie our hands behind our back.
@better_times11@HistorianUSA1 No money to buy a puppy and how is she going to feed it? She wanted to start a puppy breeding enterprise is what she wanted
@CaptMylo I did find a rare old Bob Dylan with a nice double cover, in good condition, but that was the only one slightly valuable. Selling them on something like ebay is lucrative, but we don't have any way of getting them there thanks to the death of the post office!
