@lily_choudhury_ What about if our sense of smell was impacted by COVID and it never returned fully?

[Dr. K, M.D. @DrKERMD]

Retatrutide 12 mg → 28.3% weight loss at 80 weeks, 11.3% discontinuation due to adverse effects
Tirzepatide 15 mg → 20.9% weight loss at 72 weeks, 6.2% discontinuation due to adverse effects
Retatrutide showed higher efficacy at the top dose but with more dose-dependent dropouts. Lower doses performed well on both fronts, however.
Direct head-to-head trials are underway and should provide clearer data later this year.
Practical takeaway: Retatrutide offers greater weight loss potential for patients who tolerate higher doses, while tirzepatide remains a highly effective and better-tolerated option for many. Slow titration and individualized dosing are key with both.

SOLO DATES YOU SHOULD TRY ATLEAST ONCE IN A YEAR

1. Take yourself to the cinema alone. Buy popcorn and whatever snack you enjoy while seeing a movie. Pick the seat you actually like. Laugh, cry if you need to. No one talking to you, just you and the movie.

No one on the left ever blinked when I said Christian theocracy was bad. I was applauded.

Why can I not say Islamic theocracy is also bad?

There’s no country running Christian theocracy as law. There are multiple Muslim majority ones doing it. It’s not working out well.

@4nsmiley He is the worst governor we have ever had. Not even close in my opinion. I see R’s criticizing him too online so I’m hopeful he can be ousted next election

@ggreenwald Better Call Saul was a slow burn too, especially the early seasons.

Congress doesn’t seem to realize that reopening the government after 43 days isn’t some kind of win. It never should have been closed in the first place. You turned air travel into chaos and forced Americans into food donation lines. We don’t applaud either party for this—you both failed. There are no victors here, just a bunch of useless politicians who can’t handle the most basic responsibilities of their jobs yet still expected and got a paycheck. We deserve a rebate!

@baseballcrank Absolutely and this was very evident in 2020-2022

@PeterSweden7 This is not true, most of the female hostages were released previously.

@mualphaxi Let’s just hope Paramount doesn’t ruin it.

[therealist @therealist1111]

@markpinc @bariweiss Gosh, that would be an amazing development!

@RepMTG That’s not true, I cannot get someone to answer questions for my team related to healthcare regulations. Things are impacted just not everything

[therealist @therealist1111]

@PaulGoldEagle This is not true, they have not banned mammography.

@ianmSC Each side is the same in this. All about control and fear

@NicoPerrino @conor64 Didn’t Biden’s administration ask social media companies to censor content in 2021?

@JoJoFromJerz This is totally unacceptable but this was happening during the pandemic and some people were completely fine with the idea of someone losing their job if they criticized vaccines or masks.

Someone is trying to radicalize us. And yes they’re trying to radicalize both sides against each other. And it’s working. And there doesn’t seem to be any way to stop it other than turning off your phone and your tv (if you still have one), and going outside to hang out with real flesh and blood people.

They keep feeding us the most horrible versions of each other. The algorithms are. But who makes the algos? Who REALLY benefits from us being at each other’s throats?

If you let the algos convince you the other side is evil then you have been psyopped.

Yes, there are evil people, but most people are not. We’re letting ourselves be defined by the absolute worst examples at the extremes. That’s what they keep showing us on every news channel and every social media feed. The worst of the worst. It’s all designed to foment us into anger and self destruction. I don’t know why exactly—could be as simple as divide and conquer. It probably is.

Don’t swallow the psyop.

I was working in a coffee shop when an acquaintance walked in. She talked nonstop, inc saying she doesn't watch the news any more because of "Trump's insane inflation." I told her inflation is down. She said I was wrong. I pulled up this graph, turned my laptop around... (1/2)
