Wanting people to have housing, healthcare, and food is a pathway to many philosophies some consider to be... unnatural.

The ideology? "Kids are welcome in the classroom."

Did the IDF put them up to this or something?

That post made it seem like there's some differentiation between trafficking and prostitution. Which would presumably be to say they were not coerced.

Bit idea: arguing because mayoral elections are a state's rights issue and accusing people of being authoritarian

There has been a lot of good in not consuming weed for me. However, I wish I was as chill as I was when I was using. Even that's a misnomer because I was much more neurotic and upset about things that I can either let go or have been disabused of. But in exchange for the clarity of sobriety I've become much too... orchestrated to feel good under the influence. It no longer feels good, on the contrary, a modest edible gave me dysphoria from the rush in my head. It's been years since I've felt nervous about walking into a social situation (because of the socializing), but if I smoke I shrivel into silence immediately and feel like I'm missing out. I don't fuck with driving while high so I become more dependent. I have a habit of thinking haunting thoughts to myself which aren't exactly... constructive criticism. There's a smell that comes with smoking. I can't be around children, in the gym, the elderly, or my family and feel good about it.

But I remember right after finishing my first novel. I took a flower cooking vape out into a field under the stars while there was a little snow on the ground. It was cold so I was in my favorite jacket and I was alone. I pretended I was in a circle with characters from the book (just like I would do drugs with my friends) and that the Aurora Borealis was in the sky. It was really peaceful in a way that escapes me anymore.

I miss being able to feel at ease. I used to be a heavy sleeper, a belly laugher, and an irreverent asshole. Now I wonder how plot points contribute to the climax and which subplots need to be scrubbed and changed to get more impact in fewer words. I have a hard gaze when I'm thinking. It's interesting

We were talking about a bit idea where they release Epstein files. The punchline is the American people being like

Same thing here. It could be all the coke, illegal shit, support for Israel, sexting, conspiracy, and bullshit in the world and it's like "damn, that's crazy. But they're making a concentration camp in Florida and posting interviews on Twitter"

I want to see the violations and wage theft that the capitalists did to their DPRK employees.

Are you doing it with friends? The things I get gud at have very little correlation with going "oh, I should get gud at this" and a strong correlation to being in community with people I enjoy being around. I wouldn't have been a communist, I'd have been a 6-pack having, piano playing entrepreneur. But alas, here I am liking the things I like

I can't stop recording it turns out I love you and your voracious appetite for pad thai. I think I'm about to cry

He's dangerous because he's capable of using the communistic powers of communication and offering rewards for labor like pizza and beer in exchange for moving things. Therefore he able to cause multiple people's worth of chaos in the mayoral office! We can't let him do this!

thank you for doing your part for the revolution

Imagine a ~~burger~~ a slice of Marvel slop. I wish I had something else in my canon that was more apt, but this fits so snugly in my mind. In the Tom Holland Spider-Man movies Tom bends the rules and fucks up. Iron Man comes over to him to take his suit. Tom goes "I'm nothing without the suit" and Iron Man goes "If you're nothing without the suit you shouldn't have it.[1]"

~~In this essay I will explain why~~ that's how I feel about Semaglutide drugs. The fundamentals of nutrition still matter. In fact, they matter more. If you endeavor to lose weight, you'll find that there's a few struggles you find. You need to get enough protein, you can't just stop eating without playing god with your metabolism, and you're going to be hungry. The thing is two of the three, usually, are knowledge checks. If you know what to do, you win, if not, you're in for a bad time. You can calculate protein requirements, you can know high protein foods, and you can plan what you're going to eat to hit the requirements. You can estimate your calorie requirements and, in my experience, that estimation is within 150 calories of a measured requirement. The big, bad time you're going to have is being hungry. The struggle when you know intellectually you're at your calorie limit but could totally smash another burrito and have to stop yourself with a willpower saving throw. That's where semaglutides shine in my mental model.

What if you just stopped rolling willpower saving throws? What if the only struggle was knowledge checks+side effects? It sounds too good to be true. I call it a superpower; that's probably why I reach for a superhero metaphor. Iron Man isn't saying that there shouldn't be a Spider-Man, on the contrary, he believed in Spider-Man and wanted his success in beating bad guys. So without the requisite int/wisdom (int for weight loss, wisdom for being a superhero) bad shit happens. You'll fuck with your metabolism if you don't get enough calories for too long. You'll fuck with your muscle tissue/tendons/potentially even worse if you have a couple shots of vodka instead of a protein rich meal and never think about what your hunger is communicating. This is all in conjunction with the idea that if you stop taking semaglutide, without the knowledge, you'll have learned nothing but had a transient, difficult, expensive experience with weight loss.

If you make sure you understand your TDEE, your protein requirements, how to read nutrition labels, what to eat when you're hungry and tired, how to meal prep, how to weigh food, and how movement+resistance training spares muscle tissue you'll move mountains with your super powers. If you don't, you give yourself more danger and suffering while learning nothing. I would recommend you lose 25-35lbs through conventional means before you pursue it. Learn what the hunger feels like and be amazed by how semaglutide suppresses it.
