The reason people s**t on ozempic is because it’s just a medical version of every other quick fix diet trend. They’re now talking about ozempic bounce back where most people regain the weight after stopping ozempic (I just looked up one study that said people regained 2/3rds of the weight they lost in the first year). And somehow people are shocked this happens?? If you don’t fix the underlying diet/exercise/hormonal issues, then there’s no point in taking ozempic. Studies have also found that overweight people tend to overestimate their calories burned and underestimate their calories consumed. Long story short, it’s hard to believe someone when they say they’re eating a calorie deficit and not losing weight because it’s almost never true (excluding the cases where people have a hormonal medicinal condition that needs to be addressed in which case that’s what the doctor should be looking into and not prescribing quick fix medications).

It is the same place. And it’s awful. This town on Santorini island was the worst, most overcrowded tourist place I’ve ever been… and I’ve been to Rome. Only topped perhaps by the Vatican (which I think is worth it for the culture/art history). Do not go.

I told the husband of one of my dearest friends that his wife was sneaking out at night to go to bars alone to drink, and that two other of our "friends" were covering for her. I then wrote her a letter saying how much I loved her and worried about her, but understood if she never spoke to me again. She called me the night before she left for rehab, still hurt and angry but acknowledging that her mother had pointed out how much I must care to put myself in that position. When she got back from rehab, she was a new person and thanked me for saving her life. Unfortunately the damage was done to her marriage, but she eventually met another man and led her best, sober life. Several years later, COVID took her, but I swear I feel her with me every day.

The comment is funny, but the whole approach of judging the aunt for living her life how she saw fit is disgusting. If you don't care about your sister getting married, then fell free to tell her so, but not blame it on her "moving too fast" for your own comfort. She got married several times and had intense love life, so what? What's it to you?

I've got Asperger's and no problem with pets. Sure, people with mental specialities have their own knacks, but the world doesn't revolve around them. Sure, the baby cat suddenly being there could be a bit overwhelming, but in a scenario like that, it's suck it up and adapt, because the job world won't give you the luxury of being this dramatic about new things either. A kitten is a very small and forgiving thing in comparison.

I agree with Zedrapazia - the behaviour of the mom feels like she’s setting her son up to fail in the real world. You can’t protect your kids from everything and a cat is minimally disruptive (im a cat owner - they essentially take care of themselves). Of course the more effort you put into bonding with the cat, the more affectionate it will be…. But it sounds like this family doesn’t want that soooo let the cat do its thing and make sure you meet its basic needs, take it to the vet, etc. and it’ll be fine. What a bizarre reaction and family dynamic… everyone comes off anxious and miserable. The mom is especially has zero chill and sounds like a difficult person to be married to - I feel for the husband and the kids.

Ya this guy displayed a bucket full of red flags with this one action.

Sorry, but wtf? Her conclusion is that she will not talk to married men?? I get the wife is angry at being left with two kids while he doesn't work, but that is a HIM issue, not OP's. Imo, everyone* is allowed to talk** to everyone*. (*Strangers, **chit chat).

Literally walked out of a restaurant last week when we were informed we had to scan the menu, which required providing personal information, and then, in addition, you had to place your order from their app. Bye.

People going in expecting $1000 service for $100.

I watched a video about how these digital locks are super easy to break into. It’s almost like not having a lock.
