Welcome

We're not The Onion! Not affiliated with them in any way! Not operated by them in any way! All the news here is real!

The Rules

Posts must be:

  1. Links to news stories from...
  2. ...credible sources, with...
  3. ...their original headlines, that...
  4. ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”

Please also avoid duplicates.

Comments and post content must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, ableist, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.

And that’s basically it!

Who exactly is “people like me”?

Stop making assumptions. Particularly when my comments directly contradict them.

You’re reading things in my comments that aren’t there.

And by the way, GPL-1s aren’t some sudden fix. Yes it helps with the appetite and hunger.

But that comes with other baggage, like needing to monitor for side effects, finding the proper dosage (and keeping on it.)

It’s certainly not a viable solution at the scale that’s currently necessary. Even so, I’m not seeing anyone here saying traditional weight loss isn’t hard- and I’m certainly not.
