It's very expensive to make good content that a player can miss is why.

Pity, not sympathy. They still got grifted and will be laughed anywhere they go. I pity them that.

On one level i do have pity for anyone who got grifted by a nazi and wasted a bunch of money only to commit themselves to an endless stream of repairs and recalls while getting laughed at everywhere they go, all for a shit car with no resale value.

So unauthorized transport of iranian oil? Either the ship was sanctioned by the US in error or a ship that was shady enough to do sanctions-busting for Iran is also shady enough to double cross iran, work for another paymaster, or some such?

part of Iran’s shadow fleet, the network used to move crude outside official channels.

Iran’s explanation didn’t add much clarity. Officials said the tanker was carrying Iranian oil but had tried to exploit regional conditions. No details on what that actually means.

Pretty shady looking site. If this can be believed, it seems like story is that some kind of deniable sub-contractor in the wider shadow fleet network was doing something that caused it to be flagged as suspicious and seized by iranian officials.

Objectively untrue. He lacks the cognition to realize anything of the sort. "Mythos is so scary!!1!1" is a PR line.

GPL1 is not the only way to get there

Except that for the overwhelming majority, functionally everyone, they are.

I'm not a propent of the drug. I'm slightly wary, I don't want it and i don't bring it up to others. But I don't judge people who do.

It sounds like you're part of the incredibly small minority who have been able to lose weight. Congratulations! It sounds like you worked long and hard to find a regimen that works for you.

Literally 99% of obese people will never find what you found. For them, these drugs are the ONLY realistic option to perminantly lose weight. Nothing else has been shown to work in more than 1% of cases.

😊 Right? It really stuck with me. One of those articles that ties together so many obvious and not so obvious pieces into a really clear picture. And in HuffPo no less!

Yep!

The altered hormone balance is what allows weight loss and if that reverts than so does weight loss.

I know this "you have to keep taking them" argument is big in anti-glp1 circles, but I don't think it's very good - the same is true of vitamin supplements. You have to keep taking them or the deficiency comes back. They still help.

I don't care for glp1s myself but i've heard how happy they make some, so i don't judge others' choices.

If you know several people who met the medical definition of obese and have perminantly left that category then you know several outliers, which is entirely possible.

But that is just not representative. Over 99% of obese people do not lose weight. Those few outliers are heavily visible and celebrated so it feels like there must be more.
