If obesity were simply a failure to “put the fork down,” we would have solved it decades ago. Instead, what we see, consistently, is that when people cut calories, the body adapts: hunger signals rise, satiety signals fall, and energy expenditure drops. The system pushes back. Not weak will. Physiology.
That’s why people can lose weight with effort, and then find it disproportionately hard to keep it off. The brain defends a higher set point. You don’t notice this when things are easy; you feel it when they aren’t.
Medications like GLP-1 receptor agonists don’t replace discipline. They change the biology that makes discipline insufficient, by reducing hunger, quieting food noise, and allowing people to sustain changes that otherwise fight them every step of the way. That’s treating a disease with tools that match the mechanism.
We don’t tell people with hypertension to “just relax harder.” We don’t tell people with asthma to “breathe better.” We treat the underlying physiology.
And importantly, this isn’t either-or. The people who do best with medications are the same ones improving diet, moving more, sleeping better. The difference is they’re no longer trying to row upstream with a broken oar.
You can frame it as a character flaw if you like. Medicine looks at the data and sees a regulatory system that sometimes needs help.
Perhaps you should too.

It's actually depressing to think that so many people would rather medicate themselves than just exercise a bit of restraint and put the fork down a bit sooner. It's getting harder and harder to have faith in humanity.

Continuous trading during the day is a legacy design choice. The majority of volume occurs at the market open and the market close. We should move to a 365 day intermittent auction.

Markets closing at the end of the day is a legacy design choice. Tokenization opens the door to a system that looks more like the internet itself.

If I'm going to ride in the backseat of a Rav4 anyway, may as well be ready and waiting to leave when I am

Feels like the surge charges, lack of availability, etc. has just destroyed Uber and Lyft. Anytime I’m arriving at airports or train stations now, I’ve found myself using taxi cabs again. They’re always right there, usually cheaper, and often a much more pleasant experience.

Lots of good dunks on this obviously but my rare take as a former P&S nerd -- did not recognize that particular SONY Cybershot. Some easy digging reveals it's from 2000 and the first iPod touch with camera came out in 2010, nobody was carrying around a 10 year old digicam

As a formerly obese person, not on GLP1s, who lost and kept off the weight for the past 2 decades my opinion is that if you want them you should have them. Insurance should cover it 100% like preventative care. I care not for American Puritanical "discipline" culture
Maggie@maggiemoda
If you are obese, by all means, go on GLP1s. But if you are skinny fat and want to lose 10 pounds, you will gain much more from developing food discipline and a gym routine.

similarly "millennial gray" is a Gen X/Boomer preference for "neutral" decorating perpetuated by the HGTV mind virus
pat 2: cruise control@ranmasaotome96
Whenever people complain about "millennial writing", what they're actually talking about is Joss Whedon/Dan Harmon dialogue (both Gen X, for the record).

the dealers love steering buyers away from hybrid/electric because the maintenance is so much higher on ICE vehicles
Joseph@Jojosdojo
Horrific conversation in a Skoda dealership just now about electric cars: Me: so how long does the battery last? Rep: about 100k / 8yrs Me: then you swap the battery? Rep: nope. Swap the car. The battery is built into the floor.

It's interesting because I think on average the listening quality is better than 30 years ago -- AirPods are better than Sony StreetStyle headphones and the average car stereo is higher quality etc. -- but streaming and Spotify in particular butcher a lot
Upstate Federalist@upstatefederlst
Last year I listened to a CD instead of audio files for the first time in a long time and it's crazy how much lower the sound quality is on streaming and we've just gotten used to it.
