I’m happy GLP-1s can be used for so many things (and studies show more and more uses!) but the fact that I am *still* paying out of pocket for something that has measurably improved my quality of life and allowed me to live the “healthier” lifestyle is wild to me.

When I’ve discussed secularism with Québécois - they seem to forget that it’s not applied equally to all religions.
I believe there should be separation of church and state but - if you apply it selectively then be for real that’s just racism and xenophobia under the guise of secularism.

It is bizarre the way people with guns, bulletproof vests, riot shields, tanks, and other military gear act like rocks are an equal threat. It’s madness! If you are scared of rocks and think the punishment for having them thrown at you should be death, you shouldn’t be in law enforcement!

I step away to enjoy a day with colleagues and I come back to see we’re on the brink of WWIII maybe for real?!
I am not sure how much more we can all take here - a rise is fascism, wars in multiple regions, genocides, inflation, wild fires, etc.
How are we supposed to keep going?
