Chat does this by being a long-form community where topics will remain from day to day unlike the megathread, and it is distinct from c/chapotraphouse in that we ask you to engage in this community in a genuine way. Please keep shitposting, bits, and irony to a minimum.

As with all communities posts need to abide by the code of conduct, additionally moderators will remove any posts or comments deemed to be inappropriate.

Thank you and happy chatting!

Idk some see it as using it in excess due to body image issues in Hollywood but a lot it seems like its always a thinly veiled shot at the body positive movement whenever I see this mentioned. The South park episode I'm sure helped fuel this. Hell of a lot of moralizing over ozempic in general and people not losing weight the "right way". thats-why-im-confused

I suppose it was a bit mean spirited. I wrote it to be more of a quip than just to be mean. I work with a lot of people that are either on test and peptides, or on semaglutide. Rather stressful and physically demanding field. The people here shooting test and peptides are going to the gym and working out a bunch. Some of the people on semaglutide work out as well, but they tell me they just no longer feel hungry, so they don't eat much. The craving just disappears, if it works for them. Couple people got off of it because it gave side effects that made them feel like trash. If you don't get the side effects, you just get the results with little to no effort.
