  • There was this shady used car dealer near me, not long ago…had an A-Frame sign out in front. It read “Your Approved!”

    I always thought that was funny, and I feel like they may have been called out on it, because after a couple of months they replaced it with a new sign, which read “Everyones Approved!”

    Mind you, these were printed signs. They paid money for this.

















  • Pulled up my phone and seriously thought this was a picture of me from like 15 years ago. Then I realized how common the look is among this industry.

    Reminds me of a time a couple years ago when I took a brewery tour around Boston. Every. Single. Guy. Including myself and the driver/tourguide…looked exactly like this guy, with a beer gut and a plaid shirt.

    I think (and IANA astrophysicist) that they are saying because of the density of the sun, the forces of gravity are so strong at the core, that time dilation occurs, making time at the core pass more slowly than time at the surface. Over billions of years of existence, that adds up.


  • I started wegovy pill last month and have lost 30lbs so far, roughly 8% of my starting body weight.

    I’m a fat fuck though, and my first pounds always come off easy. Plus there were a couple days I just didn’t eat because I was throwing up and/or diarrhea constantly.

    Vomit seems to be punishment for eating bad food (or over-eating, which is easy to do from old habits but also the medication makes you feel full sooner, and you learn to set smaller portions quick)…probably something greasy. Choose the carrot or risk the stick.

    Diarrhea just seems to be a fact of life. One minute I’m pissing out my ass, an hour later I’m having the healthiest looking stool of my life. Important to remain hydrated, I guess.

    The starting doses are $149/mo with mfg coupon and no insurance. Higher doses I think are $199. I believe both are cheaper than the injected variety.

    As much as I hate the fact that I have to pay out of pocket for any medication…I’m fairly sure my grocery bill dropped by more than $149 since starting.
