Had the same experience. I ended up having my doctor write a prescription for wegovy pills and am just paying $200 out of pocket. I figure I’m at least breaking even by eating less. Only been a month so far.

People pretending the US is still a country of laws. Cute, but depressing too.

As do the courts quite often.

Minnesota supports castle doctrine, or so I’ve read.

It’s against the Constitution for insurrectionists to hold federal office. Yet here we are.

I enjoy both ways, but I can’t grasp how people think they are the same.

According to this page, that is just not true.

When you read, your brain is working hard behind the scenes. It recognizes the shapes of letters, matches them to speech sounds, connects those sounds to meaning, then links those meanings across words, sentences and even whole books. The text uses visual structure such as punctuation marks, paragraph breaks or bolded words to guide understanding. You can go at your own speed.

Listening, on the other hand, requires your brain to work at the pace of the speaker. Because spoken language is fleeting, listeners must rely on cognitive processes, including memory to hold onto what they just heard.

Hey thanks. I found 3 claims and almost $200.

Huh, I didn’t know that about China. TIL.

Russia invaded Ukraine and was immediately under many sanctions. I don’t get why the world doesn’t treat the US the same way. Aside from greed.

Maybe leave piefed until it gets fixed?

Ah, I thought that Hillary ended up getting more votes. I must be wrong. I’m in no way denying the fuckery that went along with it, from the DNC to media doing everythign they could to keep Bernie out, but in the end, voters are the ones who vote. Tell me again about how it’s not ultimately the voters. And most tellingly, we weren’t discussing the presidency, which is a whole bag of issues, but Congressional representation. Fucking voters 100%.

How does/did Schumer, Grassley, Graham, Pelosi, McConnell, Feinstein, and so on, stay in power? I always get downvoted and naysayed when I say this, but American voters fucking suck. Just the absolute worst. People will blame the two party system, and they do have a point there, but those same people don’t show up in the primaries to make a difference. They’re too scared to vote for change, as they’ve shown over and over. Just a bunch of ignorant, self-satisfied, cowards.

I’ve only noticed them at the prisons that are out in bummfuck Cali. Off the 5 in the Central Valley, like OP said, or out in the desert off the 10.

So you won’t pick up escapees hitchhiking.

The currency stabilised in early 1922, but then hyperinflation took off: the exchange value of the mark fell from 320 marks per dollar in mid 1922 to 7,400 marks per US dollar by December 1922. This hyperinflation continued into 1923, and by November 1923, one US dollar was worth 4,210,500,000,000 marks.

• History, hyperinflation in the Weimar Republic

Right wingers are freaking idiots. I wouldn’t let anything that comes from that bunch of xenophobic, racist, strong-man-loving turds. Asking a right winger to explain their viewpoint will just make you feel dumber. Why are you even caring what some stupid, inbred, shallow-thinking bigots think or say?

  aphasia

OK, let’s be “generous” and agree to that figure. Or twice that. It doesn’t change a thing I said, and nobody will ever find me defending Stalin, unless their lenses are crazy colored.
