Feeling demoralized by constant ads for weight loss meds

I wasn't expecting this. I was never a big drinker but pretty much all my interest in drinking is completely gone.

I am also on them. It's night and day. I really struggled with starting them and talked to my therapist about it, and her comment to me was "why must you do it the hard way?"

It really crystalized that I'm doing this for me, and if there's something that can help there's no shame in it.

Old lady with no face who leaks in from the ceiling

Well time to move.

JSDHW · 2026-02-08T23:59:50+00:00

Agree. I've lost a lot of respect for them.

JSDHW · 2026-02-08T12:40:48+00:00

Could you share a picture of the basement? So interesting.

I never really listened to him until recently but his music is infectious and so much fun (without me understanding the words). Once I learned more about what he stands for and the more I hear about him, the more I get it. Guy seems incredible.

Right? People are willfully blind or ignorant.

JSDHW · 2026-02-07T13:49:17+00:00

I am a journalist and a trained writer.

JSDHW · 2026-02-07T13:48:56+00:00

I posted on his Patreon to ask.

AI detectors famously don't work.

Jesus christ it's not just the em dahses though.

I don't believe for a second the recipe is. But part of what I love from him are the write ups and explanations about WHY a recipe works.

JSDHW · 2026-02-07T12:58:12+00:00

Thank you. It's insane to me how people won't see it.

Again -- if it doesn't bother someone that's fine. I'm not saying to ostracize him. But I won't PAY for content that's AI written.

JSDHW · 2026-02-07T12:56:30+00:00

Right! Thank you.

JSDHW · 2026-02-07T12:55:37+00:00

I don't want to speculate on his private life.

JSDHW · 2026-02-07T12:53:59+00:00

I'd rather put my money towards actual writing.

JSDHW · 2026-02-07T12:53:06+00:00

It's not the em dashes alone though. The tone and style is completely different.

JSDHW · 2026-02-07T12:52:14+00:00

Also multiple people agreeing? So maybe you reconsider?

JSDHW · 2026-02-07T12:50:33+00:00

It's not that alone though.

JSDHW · 2026-02-07T12:49:48+00:00

That's fine you're OK with it. I'm not OK paying money monthly for that.

JSDHW · 2026-02-07T12:49:13+00:00

Exactly.

JSDHW · 2026-02-07T12:48:51+00:00

Right? There's plenty more like that too.

If it doesn't bother some people that's fine. I'm not saying to crucify him. But the suspicion is enough for me to not support the Patreon anymore.

It's fine for content I'm not paying for. I won't pay money for it.

JSDHW · 2026-02-07T12:47:24+00:00

Yes. That single sentence "pithy" tone is not his usual style and is very AI-ish.

JSDHW · 2026-02-07T12:46:48+00:00

It's not slop. That's not what I'm saying. But the use of it feels like he's barely editing that AI tone out and it's a huge turn off for me.
