I mean I was dimly aware of the "whippits" thing but I really thought I was getting a "professional chef style" dispenser. It looks very professional, very sturdy and well crafted.

But... that's not what it was about at all.

@driusan @msbellows

It lets the gas out too fast and it's all bubbly and runny.

@catmisgivings @DamonWakes @msbellows

"This cooking store is really colorful. But don't you have anything but spice grinders and whip-cream dispensers? These double boilers are awfully small? What's that about?"

Us out shopping probably.

@Moss

Sounds like the kind of "friend" parents have nightmares about.

@dlakelan

Something like that I assume.

I just wanted to make strawberry shortcake.

@dlakelan

Close it's a drug thing called "whippits"

@msbellows

I was so excited that high quality whipcream makers were suddenly popular. I love making fresh whipped cream.

But apparently it's a drug thing called "whippits"

Well I found out why the nice whipcream maker I bought last year never worked right.

Why do I have to always be such a square.

@Amoshias

That is scary. Do you feel like the loss is slowing down and leveling off? It sounds like you might need to talk to the doctor about the dose being too high.

I lost about 5 pounds a month for 15 months but at the end it slowed and then just stopped.

@virtulis

I found that the pills just didn't work as well. So it's the injection for me. I don't know why the pills didn't seem to work, but they would at first feel like too much of a dose then wear off in just a few days instead of lasting the full week.

But the pills seem to work for some people so it's just an observation.

@dedicto

Will there ever be recognition of how intense and annoying "being on a diet" can be?

Food is a fundamental part of being alive. Having to ignore hunger has a huge impact on mood, concentration, and your ability to function.

Now my only diet focus is on "eating vegetables" since it's tempting to eat fats and carbs first and if I do I'm too full to eat any vegetables or fruit.

So I try to eat the veggies first. But that is fun to do.

I've lost weight and "kept it off" and it's not about willpower. It's about how I'm not fighting with my body anymore.

I'm also not depressed anymore.

Turned out most of my depression was tied to the strict diet I lived with and hated (I was still always hungry and still overweight. I was trying so hard and failing. That's depressing.)

Now there is no strict diet. I'm not overweight so the anxiety is gone.

The ability to digest food quickly was probably an advantage for my ancestors. Not helpful in the modern world where food is abundant.

There are moral judgements we project on to weight and diet. Notions of "self control" and goal setting.

For me? This has all proven to be totally irrelevant.

I can run up five flights of stairs and not be out of breath, I can walk several miles for fun. I take my meds. It's not that complex.

The most important thing about GLP-1 weight loss drugs like ozempic that I wish more people understood was this:

These are drugs you take for the rest of your life. They change how fast your body can digest food. By slowing digestion down, some people find that they are less hungry and we lose weight. If you stop taking the drug this effect stops and you slowly gain the weight back.

I've been to rodeos. I've even been to hockey games. I have been around several blocks.

@IveyJanette

I hate to assume that people are being manipulated however I just can't see Nicki following Don Lemon's coverage of a protest. So she is getting this from a right wing news outlet.

Moreover the logic of "have one black person criticize another oooo" is how white right wingers think.

Someone told her this would be impressive or something but it's not.

I don't think anyone is paying any attention?

Other than the sad spectacle of another talented star imploding.

@adardis @carrideen @VCP

Did you see the webapp from @c9a? Neat stuff.

And I posted a photo of the actual cards.

@driusan @ShadSterling

Do murals at the underpass count?

@ShadSterling

But then I think "the fall of literature" is like at least 400 years in? or maybe 1000?

I wonder if people of the stone age shook their head at the "decline in cave drawing" and "the fall of the story by the fire"

@ShadSterling

People have been saying "hip hop is dead" for 25 years!
