The research all points to lifestyle and diet changes being the best way to keep weight off which is the core of what I was saying. The decades of evidence is thorough and conclusive. Sometimes the science does back up conventional knowledge. This is one of those times.

If you want to talk about treating the underlying reasons for physical health issues related to diet then you may as well advocate for a full psychological evaluation before any other intervention. I'm not even against that as for many people their unhealthy relationship with food and their own health is seated in trauma. Maybe even for most people but I don't care enough to search the data on that.

Feeling hungry all the time has a lot to do with diet, I've found. You can feel more satiated with better diet choices like eating healthy fats and proteins which give a full feeling for longer than carbohydrates.

Diet and lifestyle changes are the ONLY sustainable way to keep the weight you lost off. Saying these aren't more "sustainable" than other "interventions" is wrong. Like, dead wrong. You are throwing out buzzwords here to qualify your wrong assertion in way to make it sound more right but it's still wrong. GLP-1 is an intervention. Diet and lifestyle changes are not. They are what you are doing long term. It's a different step or element to the weight loss and healthy living journey.

I'm not against GLP-1. I think it's it's great to get yourself on the path. Kick start it. I'm saying that once you stop taking it you'd better have changed some things about your relationship to exercise and food. If you go back to the way things were before, you'll gain it back. It's how you got it in the first place.

Allow me to echo a common bit of advice. Any weight loss you do must be accompanied by an overall diet and lifestyle change in order to be permanent. Weight loss treatments and drugs are fine if you are using them with medical supervision (sounds like you are) as a way to kick start this transition in diet and lifestyle for a more healthy and manageable future for maintaining your weight and governing your health. But that lifestyle and diet change is key. Don't squander your chance to get on the right tract to start taking control of your health. Make the changes. Stick to them and you'll see success.

anyone got information on how the usa is backing the m23 rebels? i thought it was pretty common knowledge that they were backed in some part by rwanda

First of all, it's just a car and you are okay. That's what matters.

That said call around and get some quotes. There are local facebook groups and you can ask in those and usually people are very vocal about mechanics who are either particularly good or bad. So a simply post in your town or burb's community page of "Need a good mechanic/body shop for car repairs... any suggestions?" should get you dozens of replies. Then you get quotes form the two top recommended ones. If it's a mechanic and they do you right this time, keep going back.

Having a good, honest mechanic who doesn't fleece you is one of those adult things nobody tells you about but is a must. You have to build a list of "guys". Then before you know it someone says something like, "I got ants out of control in my apartment" and you respond without thinking, "Oh, you need a bug guy? I got a bug guy. Lemme get you his number."

I'm a city dweller now but I have family who grow food, raise chickens and such and grew up near pastures with cattle and horses. The amount space for grazing you need for livestock is a ton! There are plenty of places where it makes sense. Rocky terrain with poor soil conditions can be great for goats and sheep. Other areas poor for growing can be good for other livestock like cattle and cattle can be good for natural fertilizer and so on. Point is there are tons of ways to have a homestead where you raise and grow your own food but of all the ways, this isn't it. It's not just bad: it flat out is non-functional. This person not only has never raised livestock in their life but has never even been around it. They didn't even do a basic google on it. They didn't even fucking do the current lazy shit and just ask AI.

Some of that shit is so frustrating because they are putting it out there as not being true and it's stuff that you can't really prove one way or another but regardless is still absolutely true.

I was alive and an adult during the build up to the Iraq war. Americans, by and large, absolutely 100% supported it. Not just in a "I support this but war is bad" sort of way but in a "woo-hoo, yeah! I can't wait to go kill them Aye-Rabs!" sort of way. There was fervor. A glee about it. An anxious anticipation for the bloodletting. It was sickening.

I opposed this very publicly and even demonstrated and you would not believe the hate we got. Westboro Baptist Church demonstrations got less hate.

The revisionism really disgusts me. I took shit from family and friends and the community for being "anti-American" (and this was before I actually shifted and legit became anti-American) and these fuckers are unironically trying to steal valor. Their side supported this! Their side was 100% on board with it. Pelosi even said she knew the fucking "evidence" of WMDs were fabricated and voted for that shit anyways!

Yes, I'm mad. All the other shit, too. But that one, I'm mad most about.
