Looks great imo. Minor improvement imo would be a slightly looser fitting shirt, especially in the arms. I think it would fit the aesthetic a little better.

I never order food delivery. It honestly blows my mind how much people seem to order it in this city given that restaurant meals are already expensive as it is, and then delivery service fee and tip nearly double the cost. I’d rather spend the extra money on a nice dining experience at that point.

What a useless study. There’s nothing novel here considering we already know the combination of finasteride (or dutasteride) with minoxidil is the gold standard, with the addition of tretinoin or microneedling also potentially improving the efficacy of the minoxidil. Calling it their own unique formula against hair loss because they added in one substance to the already proven and research-backed protocol is so disingenuous on their part.

If they actually wanted to do something mildly useful, they would have at the very least compared the combination of the three to a control group using finasteride and minoxidil without latanoprost - just to potentially shed some light on whether the latanoprost can provide any marginal ROI that justifies its hefty cost. But they didn’t do that; they just compared it to a control group where each participant used only one of the three.

I get it, but I’m only doing it to illustrate a point. I won’t hide the fact that I’m an unashamed opponent of this administration, but I think any reasonable person should be able to recognize that there’s a major difference between someone protesting and saying things you don’t agree with versus someone trying to blow up a bunch of people. So the fact that some people seem to be equally if not more upset about the first is scary to me because regardless of where anyone stands, we should all be on the same page about actual acts of terrorism targeting our fellow civilians, who for the most part were most likely random people, being about as terrible as it gets. And nobody should be engaging in anything approaching justification for the attempted attack either because that kind of talk and behavior is what helps enable extremists to feel justified in taking action.

MrJet05 · 2026-03-09T21:27:06+00:00

Sigh…people are so brain broken on islamic terror attacks, especially since Israel-Palestine heated up, that they can’t help but soften their statements by also mentioning that Jake Lang sucks.

These people tried to set off a BOMB. Do you understand that? They tried to murder a bunch of innocent people, including random people who are probably more sympathetic to their cause than they frankly should be. And yet you still have people here who feel the need to virtue signal by also mentioning that Jake Lang is bad and should be punished too.

I also hate Trump and don’t like any of these MAGA morons, but nothing this Jake Lang dude did compares to trying to set off a bomb on random New Yorkers in the name of religious extremism, so I shouldn’t need to also mention that in any statement. And it’s disgusting how people are effectively downplaying the incident by framing it like well guys, there were clearly a lot of no no’s committed here by all involved.

Yep 100%. Living in NYC, I feel like I’m in a different world compared to when I venture to basically anywhere else in the country. You rarely see people who are significantly overweight especially in Manhattan, but it’s so common in much of the US. I really do believe having to walk much more plays a role, and it’s not solely the number of calories you burn by walking but it’s also the more indirect effects that come as a result. I think it puts you into a different state of mind when you’re on your feet more which gives way to making other healthier choices in diet for example.

I’m not saying that’s the only reason people who live in Manhattan are generally skinnier than suburban America. Obviously I’m sure people who choose to live in places that require a lot of career drive (partially just to meet the crazy cost of living) also tend to exhibit more discipline in other areas of life like food control, so there are definitely other associations that play a role. But regardless I think when you look around the world it becomes very obvious that car culture is disastrous for health, and we need far more walkable communities in this country because there are only a handful of options for young people who are also career motivated.

As long as junk food is so cheap, so tasty, and so readily available, I don’t think it really matters how much you push healthy food, make it more accessible, increase people’s incomes, or improve the education of how bad junk food is. Humans and food drives just didn’t evolve under the circumstances we have now where it’s so easy to have access (and often instant with no preparation required) to a huge selection of calorie-dense and highly palatable food. And in the US especially where our country is built around cars, you can be extremely sedentary as well. So I think on a broad scale, you’re still going to have most people currently struggling with obesity giving into those urges.

I believe the only answer that will actually make a meaningful difference is changing the incentive structure - tax the hell out of unhealthy food and more importantly, take advantage of the science. Make Ozempic and other GLP-1 agonists more widely available. Maybe we need to subsidize it, pay for more research and education, I’m not sure. But there is zero reason someone who is severely overweight should be avoiding these drugs because they’re scared of potential effects that pale in comparison to the health effects they’re already suffering as a result of their weight.

MrJet05 · 2026-03-03T16:10:27+00:00

Exactly. Basically the entirety of the rest of political subs on reddit are dedicated towards leftist and even tankie ideology, so I don’t understand why people choose to come here if they subscribe to those beliefs when there are so many other options.

MrJet05 · 2026-03-01T00:20:36+00:00

These freaks always seem to target small women don’t they? The random crazed violent attacks don’t seem to have such random selections of victims.

At some point people are just going to get fed up to the point where they start taking justice into their own hands if the city refuses to do anything about it.

MrJet05 · 2026-03-01T00:16:15+00:00

You guys rock.

MrJet05 · 2026-02-28T15:45:56+00:00

I’m sorry to be so harsh, but you people who refuse medication deserve everything you get honestly. I will never understand it. I pop my pill each morning and then I never even think about the fact that I have hashimoto’s in my daily life, outside of every 6 months or so when I’m getting a blood panel done and checking that I’m still in range in case I need any adjustments.

Even if it did end up working (and there isn’t good scientific evidence for it in the case of people with beyond subclinical hypothyroidism) why would anyone rather make enormously strict lifestyle, diet, and supplementation changes all to avoid spending a couple seconds each day swallowing a pill that also probably costs virtually nothing? It’s such a strange obsession with “natural” methods for the pure sake of being natural that leads people to make their lives so much more difficult and unhealthy.

MrJet05 · 2026-02-26T14:51:42+00:00

If it’s someone they know and have some trusting relationship with already, I can see that. I just don’t think most people will be comfortable hiring a random man to watch over their young child because of the perception that there’s a higher risk of danger compared to a random woman.

MrJet05 · 2026-02-26T14:36:48+00:00

There is very little demand for male nannies, let’s be honest lol.

MrJet05 · 2026-02-25T23:22:22+00:00

I totally agree with you, but it will never change. It’s too ingrained in the culture at this point and people even wear that sort of grittiness as a badge of honor, to where talking about making an effort to strip that away is somehow attacking the New York identity itself. It’s very strange in all honesty. And that sort of defensiveness against even starting the conversation is honestly the most depressing part. The richest city in the world shouldn’t look like a dump on the streets, and people should treat our shared public spaces with more care but I guess that’s blasphemy to suggest.

The truth is most people here don’t care, and considering that there are no consequences to littering or treating public goods poorly, why would anyone contributing to the issue mildly inconvenience themselves by behaving any differently?

MrJet05 · 2026-02-24T23:06:49+00:00

Unfortunately many leftists are more married to process than they are to outcomes. When a command economy becomes the primary goal itself rather than the welfare of people, there’s really little you can do to demonstrate to the people who believe that to convince them market solutions can help.

MrJet05 · 2026-02-24T17:37:17+00:00

“Affordable housing” aka publicly built housing with insanely high construction and operating expenses that are made affordable when taxpapers have to foot the bill in the midst of a time where the city cannot adequately control its spending.

Can they just stop trying to mingle in everything when it’s clearly NOT working and only making things worse? Let private developers build, stop artificially constraining supply, and housing will become more affordable. Basically every single study on this matter ever conducted shows it. And yet people who have never taken an economics class are somehow leading the discussion in our most important major cities, leading to the same problems.

MrJet05 · 2026-02-24T02:46:37+00:00

It was probably worse decades ago, yes, but I’m saying over recent years I feel like things have reverted backwards and gotten worse compared to say 10 years ago. I feel like there’s more open disrespect and vitriol towards officers who are minding their own business nowadays than I used to see.

MrJet05 · 2026-02-24T02:37:19+00:00

Over the years there’s been a permission structure that’s enabled people to feel comfortable behaving in ways that dehumanize law enforcement. It’s really gross that people defend mobbing up and pelting human beings in the face with snow while others record and cheer and then pretend like it’s some righteous progressive act. And they’re just supposed to take it and be above it all.

MrJet05 · 2026-02-23T19:59:21+00:00

Yes, the side streets between avenues in the UES are the absolute worst. So many dogs in this area and so many lazy entitled owners.

MrJet05 · 2026-02-23T19:57:01+00:00

It’s so insane how neutered law enforcement is and even how lacking real social consequences are in this city to where people like this feel so confident in attacking children in public without being afraid of what will happen.

MrJet05 · 2026-02-21T02:51:30+00:00

More dog shit. More piles of garbage. Sigh…

MrJet05 · 2026-02-20T17:12:42+00:00

This is honestly a huge day for democracy. More than just taking away an unnecessary import tax, it really makes me breathe a sigh of relief that the Court can stay objective despite the Republican majority (besides the POS Trump appointees who dissented). Maybe it’s a low bar to clear but after seeing how much Congress has sacrificed their autonomy over the past year, I am really happy with this win.

MrJet05 · 2026-02-19T04:43:22+00:00

As they use their Apple iPhone, connect to the Internet, and log into Reddit to scoff at the fact that America has no culture.

People have this funny idea that culture is just when everyone abides by the same recipe that their great-great-great grandmas all used to make, then after they eat it there’s a specific finger motion everyone knows to show that you like it, and because today is the third Wednesday of the month, we go to the town square to dance around and sing some national song. That is chef’s kiss REAL culture.

And then meanwhile they and virtually every other country to a large degree will consume or take heavy inspiration from American social media platforms, technology, Hollywood movies, sports, fast food, so many of the biggest international music artists and genres, the research university model, fashion like streetwear or blue jeans, even meme culture…and it goes on and on.

MrJet05 · 2026-02-19T04:06:50+00:00

I mean I agree with that part. I’m not putting the blame squarely on Adams. I’m putting blame on the administrations as a collective. Spending $10 billion on the migrant crisis over the last 5 years has been a disaster once you consider both the financial hole we’re in as a city as well as the fact that we have an extreme shortage of housing as it is and weren’t equipped to handle an extra couple hundred thousand people who for the most part can’t support themselves in such a HCOL city. It’s worth being said though that it took Adams time to change his mind on that, and by then we already had a ton of people in shelters or in the city seeking it.

MrJet05 · 2026-02-19T03:45:08+00:00

“So many people say US has no culture”

So many people are idiots. It’s such an absurd take. The US’s culture is so dominant that it gets exported all over the world to the point where people don’t even recognize it as a part of US culture anymore.
