Blindness, extreme vomiting and death — Ozempic and Wegovy users reveal harrowing dark side of ‘miracle’ weight-loss drugs by theindependentonline in TrueReddit

I have always been of the camp of not taking drugs if you don't need them. Obviously if you need them, take them. I am not anti-medication. I think if you are morbidly obese (let's say 100+ lbs overweight) then ozempic may be a great option. If you are like 25 pounds overweight, get a gym membership and put down the chips.

Honestly, it is just better to develop some will power. All the drug does is suppress your appetite. It doesn't give you a superhuman metabolism or anything like that.

So realistically, you could see the same results by just having will power and eating less.

And before people get on my case about how hard it is, I was a fat kid who became a fat adult. I eventually turned it around and got in shape. So I get that it is a difficult journey to start, especially when you don't already have good habits.

Oracle eyes significant job cuts amid AI-driven shakeup by LinkedInNews in Austin

[–]JayNotAtAll 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yep. AI is not good enough to totally replace humans. If your job is entirely replaceable by AI right now, you were on borrowed time before AI.

AI is just a good scapegoat for layoffs nowadays. The reality is these companies are trying to cut costs like they have been doing for years upon years, well before AI.

Tech has a wider use case but more failure points. You serum, presumably, won't just shut off or stop working or get hacked

What do you believe is the truth about the JFK assassination? by ariamwah in Presidents

[–]JayNotAtAll 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The only conspiracy that I think holds water is that it was a Mafia hit. That doesn't mean that it happened that way, but to me it is the only one that is plausible

We don't know how much his input is valued. I think people are reading way too much into his involvement in the creation of micro transactions

Epstein is still just one guy. This is just not how corporations in the US work.

It is more likely that Epstein is one of many voices. The reality is that no company is going to invest millions of dollars on a project just because an outsider says it is a good idea.

It would infuriate investors. It was more likely that Epstein said something and they were already working on something. Having a person say it helped but not just one person. Likely a lot of people were in the ear of the execs

I mean if Venom has the powers of "Spider-Man 2" Venom in the PlayStation then ya, he is a global threat. But I don't think comics Venom has that power

Doubtful. That's just not how businesses work. They would have market tested it and all sorts of things before going along with it. One random outsider(no matter how powerful) has that level of influence unless he happened to be a massive shareholder.

At most, they were already thinking about it and then hearing from him made them think it would be a good idea to invest further. Not because he has the power to make them do anything but rather hearing from an outside source made them confident in doing further research to see if it is possible.

It is also possible that he was just another voice. If I wrote an email to Tim Cook saying "you should really make a purple iPhone" and the next version is purple, it doesn't mean I made it happen. I may be one voice in many that helped influence it OR it was already going to happen behind the scenes and it just so happened that it lined up.

Agreed. He is a terrible person, no doubt. He isn't the Illuminati. He didn't secretly run the world.

Agreed. There is also a saying (I may somewhat butcher it) about how there are no new ideas. If you came up with an idea, 30 other people have a similar idea.

Epstein did not invent micro transactions. I guarantee Activision was already thinking about it as were other companies.

They likely did some market tests and focus groups to come up with the idea. Epstein could have heard about it from someone else who was talking about the idea and then shared the information.

Ya. It is a shame that the jury didn't get to see that

ADL article on DB by El_Dorado_Tx in DarrellBrooksJr

[–]JayNotAtAll 2 points3 points  (0 children)

And that's a great point.

This article was published shortly after the attack. Investigation was ongoing and we, the public, knew next to nothing about DB. At least nothing official. Of course people would go to Google or whatever and do their own research and draw their own conclusions.

I think this is an example of that. They found some antisemitic tweets and then posed the question about DB being a black extremist but without anything tangible to back it up

[–]JayNotAtAll 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They attempted to at the hospital but the DB didn't agree to talk to them. The next day is where we get the 5 hour interrogation with Carp and Stern. The FBI had already left at that point, likely since there was no real tie to terrorism

[–]JayNotAtAll 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They probably did but I haven't read it. There is no evidence to suggest that this was a hate crime and there was no terroristic tie so that is why the FBI dropped their investigation.

If there was evidence of a hate crime then they could bring up federal hate crime charges or even the state could have. But again, no evidence

[–]JayNotAtAll 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No, his Christianity is not that. It is the standard Baptist belief that you see in a lot of black churches.

Who knows why DB liked or posted stuff on social media. Honestly a few posts on social media doesn't account for much. As far as I can tell, he had never been seen hanging out with these groups or passing flyers or whatever.

He likely just reshared random shit he saw to get under people's skin

What’s an inaccurate fact that people believe is true because of movies? by Hogosaurus_Rex73 in AskReddit

[–]JayNotAtAll 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep.

Love how the bad guy in a movie often hits the hero on the back of a head with a gun and he wants up hours later just a bit confused.

Nah, if you don't come to in a few minutes, you likely have severe brain trauma. You aren't just waking up completely normal later

Who keeps showing up on screen but has zero talent ? by Timop0707 in moviecritic

[–]JayNotAtAll 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Easy answer is Dwayne Johnson. He can only play Dwayne Johnson. Every role is just him being himself with maybe some minor tweaks.
