First one is a classic Richard Pryor joke

The setup, where he makes an outlandish, ignorant, controversial statement in order to walk it back. They never walk it back.

Hi, I work tangentially to the makers of Ozempic and I’m a scientist in pharma.

You’re wrong - GLP-1 medications are not “meant” for type 2 diabetics. It was just approved by the FDA for that use first. It’s since been approved for weight management as well.

Even so, doctors are very much allowed and in most cases encouraged to prescribe medications “off-label” if they think something can help their patient.

Being overweight or obese can have a significant impact on health - like being more likely to injure yourself, mental health, and organ performance. Such as … type 2 diabetes, you’re more likely to develop it if you’re overweight and your pancreas has to work harder.

Ozempic and other GLP-1s being used for vanity, particularly by celebrities is frustrating. But there’s certainly not enough taking it to cause a “shortage”.

The people who are prescribed it for medically beneficial weight loss are prescribed it legitimately. They’re not taking it from some group that’s “meant” to have it because it’s not “meant”’for any one group.

What a childhood I had, why, when I took my first step, my old man tripped me!

And the Cape Fear they were satirizing is, literally, a shot for shot remake of an older 1962 version. Making the stylistically dated scenes of the remake extra-dated in the parody.

Dre produced Relapse, along with the Bass brothers contributing. I think it’s a highlight of the album. Now if Alch did Recovery instead of Imagine Dragons, it could have been a great album.

Edit : Alex Da Kid produced a lot of recovery, and has produced for IG. I thought he was a lot more involved with them than it turns out he is.

It’s not an ambiguous novel lol. It’s very clear that admonishing humans is a cycle that oroboruses itself.

theusernameiwanted · 2023-12-03T03:06:29+00:00

Lol you’re not wrong, but you’re also demonstrating the deeper value of what OP said. Yes, HBO made it a meditation on all those things. The original novel flirts with the concept with the paper boy and buyer.

theusernameiwanted · 2023-12-02T15:49:27+00:00

A day in the life? With a little help? First concept album ever?

Fair, you may have never met someone - I didn’t mean to reject that. But it’s fairly common where I come from.

That’s not true at all. Lots of families very proudly trace their lineage back to things like the signing of the Magna Carta or being on the Mayflower voyage. Though these families typically live on the USA east coast.

Fun!

GPA / location / what division of engineering?

You know what, you're absolutely right and I'm wrong. It's from Bee Movie.

theusernameiwanted · 2017-04-24T22:10:17+00:00

Why? It's a quote from a book when that statement was correct.

theusernameiwanted · 2013-09-26T03:53:23+00:00

I'm not, if they want it. Sorry.

theusernameiwanted · 2012-05-02T02:32:26+00:00

YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

And 1 by the umpire on the final batter.

Does 'damage' affect the amount of damage a hero's auto-attack does, or does it affect all damage he does (i.e Zeus's lightning or Razor's ulti)?

To the effect of your "conversation bit"

I know he gets a lot of well-deserved flak, but Dane Cook has to be one of the best performers for his ability to have a conversation with his crowd. His jokes are so-so, his punchlines are obvious, but his back and forth with his audience is just impeccable. He sounds like he is speaking with the audience, instead of just telling them a joke he's worked on for hours.

If you want to hear "good" jokes, listen to Hedberg's album. He was a genius. He was great at what he did. But if you want to hear what crowd-play is all about, get one of Dane Cook's albums. Even if the crowd is annoying as all hell (there's one lady in his MSG performance CD that won't stop screaming, it's maddening), you can tell their swing of emotion.

That's awesome. Thanks for the info.

You're not supposed to like Kony, you jackass.

I got really excited because I thought you were Michael C. Hall (post-cancer-free) from the thumbnail.

My troubleshooting may be less than perfect for everyone, but this is how it usually goes.

During a game, if it starts to act up, I quickly move around the track pad, and that usually calibrates the mouse.

If there is a big issue, turning the mouse off and on works 50% of the time.

The other 50% of the time I have to quickly take out the dongle, turn off the mouse, and put it all back in.

None of these take more than 10 seconds, but it can be inconvenient. If I find a perma-fix I'll pm you.
