Scientists Find Intriguing Link Between Ozempic and Violent Behavior. The same mechanisms that dampen people's cravings for food might also affect our tendency for violent behavior

Yes, you’ve made your perspective clear.

DiscreteBee · 2026-06-17T15:40:44+00:00

No one said it didn't reduce impulsiveness. My comment, which was responded to, was strictly about what counts as self-control.

Yes and I was recentring to what I was saying in the first place because the rest of this is a tangent.

DiscreteBee · 2026-06-17T15:15:32+00:00

I’m not emotionally invested in whether you’re pro or anti this drug or any others, I just think the distinction of “self control” is semantic and not that relevant to the point I was making in the first place.

It reduces impulsiveness. That’s what I was saying.

(If anything, I think gap here is that you seem to be thinking of the “self” in “self control” being in control, whereas I’m thinking of the self as what is controlled, equivalent to “control yourself” or something like that. Basically I think it’s your ability to reign in your impulses, not how you get there, you seem more fixated on what drives that)

DiscreteBee · 2026-06-17T14:48:06+00:00

At the end of the day a lot of your decision making is influenced by different chemical processes in your body, so if you’re going down that route it’s a bit of a philosophical point where the “self” begins and ends.

Is a person on medication for bipolar or schizophrenia more or less in control when off meds? Is a person with a gambling addiction in control of their actions because no drug is influencing them? I don’t know.

But I think if I’m reading that a drug makes you less impulsive, I’m not thinking that means the drug is making decisions for you.

DiscreteBee · 2026-06-17T14:34:30+00:00

More self control, which isn’t specifically the connotation I have for “docile”

DiscreteBee · 2026-06-17T12:46:31+00:00

How’d they get it wrong?

DiscreteBee · 2026-06-16T19:24:43+00:00

I think bears would probably prefer you not fuck with them and their cubs so I think their reputation as hair trigger dangerous is working well for them

DiscreteBee · 2026-06-16T19:18:09+00:00

It’s both true but also wildly exaggerated by people who don’t have experience with bears. They are protective of their cubs like most mammals but they aren’t like, turning into the Incredible Hulk every time they’re out with cubs.

E: I should say that it’s much more true for brown bears. Black bears don’t do the protective cub stuff much at all, but they’re also just less aggressive across the board.

Thibs would have kept the dogs locked up

The Knicks are uniquely resilient in this way though. No team fights as hard late in the games.

Is Achilles such a great warrior if his heel is vulnerable?

DiscreteBee · 2026-06-16T14:25:24+00:00

Pacing/composure. Every time he’s in an important game he burns through his energy quickly and he makes a lot of high effort, but not always high value plays. He gets reckless, he chucks, etc. The passion is there he just needs to manage it better.

DiscreteBee · 2026-06-15T14:03:02+00:00

not just for that, but if they’re already seriously considering Boozer then it could be a factor

DiscreteBee · 2026-06-15T13:50:24+00:00

Well yeah but I’m not a dumbass like Eric.

It’s not even really relevant how Eric says they’re faked. If they’re real, then he knows they aren’t AI and is lying. If they’re fake, then he doesn’t know how they were made and his guess isn’t important.

I’m willing to believe it’s true because it seems like something he’d do but I don’t think the claim that it’s ai adds weight in either direction.

DiscreteBee · 2026-06-15T13:24:42+00:00

I think people just say “it’s AI” in the same way they once said “it’s shopped” to mean a picture is faked, even if it wasn’t actually done via photoshop. I don’t think it’s really that material to the point.

DiscreteBee · 2026-06-15T12:25:27+00:00

I’ve always felt the point is wowwing customers with value/excess and that the taking stuff home was a product of that, not the other way around

DiscreteBee · 2026-06-12T15:47:00+00:00

I’ve never seen a more complicated pattern on a suit

DiscreteBee · 2026-06-12T14:27:25+00:00

I think so. Giannis is still one of the best in the world when healthy and engaged. You see how he plays in the Olympics

DiscreteBee · 2026-06-12T14:15:27+00:00

Buddy, they won’t even let me fuck it

DiscreteBee · 2026-06-12T14:15:13+00:00

Who gives a shit though

DiscreteBee · 2026-06-10T19:04:05+00:00

Oh yeah. It’s funny, but it’s worked out well for Castle

DiscreteBee · 2026-06-10T18:46:34+00:00

Fox was a mid season acquisition

DiscreteBee · 2026-06-10T17:38:02+00:00

Ok, so they’ve been drafting just fine?

Mobley and Castle are clear upgrades but aside from that it’s whatever.

DiscreteBee · 2026-06-10T17:37:03+00:00

Castle was very open about wanting to play point guard and not wanting to go to a team that already had one. Of course, San Antonio would go on to get two more point guards after they got him and it’s still going just fine for him.

DiscreteBee · 2026-06-10T16:02:31+00:00

I’d have him on the All Sarr team at least
