  • 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.









  • Um, there’s a mollusk, see…And he walks up to a sea, well he doesn’t walk up, he swims up. Well, actually the mollusk isn’t moving. He’s in one place and then the sea cucumber, well they… I mixed up. There was a mollusk and a sea cucumber. None of them were walking, so forget that I… There was this mollusk and he walks up to a sea cucumber. Normally, they don’t talk, sea cucumbers, but in a joke, everyone talks. So the sea mollusk says to the cucumber…

    With fronds like these, who needs anemones?


  • Sometimes a monopoly can have so much money that it actually does some very significant amount of innovation. Look at Ma Bell.

    The problem is to not let them get so big though. Then you’ve got to break it up and that gets hairy. Look at Ma Bell.

    And then they might try to get back together. Look at Ma Bell.

    And at the end of it, we might just end up with a duopoly of shit. Look at Ma Bell and Xfinity.
