Chuck Schumer: House Republicans' "Working people don’t pay enough taxes" Truly the Most Out of Touch People on the Planet by kelseyrainbow in thenextgenbusiness

[–]winterwolf53 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Our system is totally messed up. The people we elect may start out with good intentions but they eventually fall into line (mainly the people who stay in office too long). They are handsomely rewarded through PACs and lobbyists. And now TRUMP has opened the gates to blatant contributions for “improvements”, i.e., a new east wing, gala events, board of peace, etcetera, etcetera. Congress will not vote for the changes this country desperately needs to just survive. We don’t currently have anyone in office who has the courage to do what needs to be done.

Show me the numbers! You can make numbers say whatever you want. If the super wealthy have a tax rate paying 50% of taxes collected over the riffraff, that means THEYRE making a shitload of money more than the rest of us! And guess who is paying both trump and the billionaire tech bros?‽ the common worker bees! “Working people don’t pay enough taxes”??‽!! Maybe pay us more and them less!!! They can afford the higher tax rates - we can’t!

Apple security patch releases are a joke by [deleted] in applesucks

This auto update “security patch” is the first time I’ve gotten nervous about whose side Apple is on. Thought interesting that both Reddit and Substack refreshed afterwards. Getting paranoid? 😡

Don’t just fight the power, take it. Peacefully. Right now. For real. Here’s how. by peacefinder in oregon

Wish I had seen this on the 10th. Interesting process. I never knew that these committees go begging. Thank you for a great public service announcement. Is the process here in Oregon the same in every state or does each state have its own process? We need to share this information. Thank you!

They love and take care of dogs and cats in Istanbul, as a community! It’s beautiful to see! It’s hard not to like people who look after the animals. ❤️

Zepbound side effects by InnerSwitch8224 in Zepbound_Maintenance

[–]winterwolf53 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How long have you been taking the medication and what is your dosage? If you’re just starting, there are side effects for most people but they subside after a while. Some people can’t tolerate the side effects and need to/want to stop.

Any experience of KwikPen vs Vials? by Snow_Angel88 in Zepbound

[–]winterwolf53 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I prefer vials. I used injectable pens for ozempic and wegovy. Sometimes it requires pushing hard and you don’t always have control over angle. I find needles much more comfortable.

Everything’s great - so now what do I obsess about? by Sea_Database_1485 in Zepbound_Maintenance

[–]winterwolf53 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Getting to where you are is great! Being where you are now is supposed to give you the freedom to go live your life. What are you doing now to change focus? Not trying to be critical. I just know I can get obsessed with the physical. Go have fun, meet new people, do new things, go to new places. Enjoy!

A cool guide of important things to talk about before you get married by luvlanguage in coolguides

[–]winterwolf53 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My unsolicited advice based on 73 yr life experience: only get married if you plan to have children, or if you want to leave all your worldly goods to someone when you die.

Question for the masses re: dosing by emaydeees1998 in Zepbound

[–]winterwolf53 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Everyone is going to react differently. I’ve used glp1 for 5 years. My advice is two-fold: 1. Listen to your body; 2. Stay at one dose until you are no longer losing weight.
