  • I have the 13 mini and ordered the 15 pro max. Prior to the mini I had the XS Max. I clearly don’t know what I want.

  • I disagree actually. I think with a series they can actually flesh out the stories and characters more. The movies were missing so much stuff.

  • Oh yeah I forgot about the whole Nina Turner thing (and Nina Turner).

  • I don’t see any posts actually.

    EDIT: Never mind. Now I can see the posts. Must be an app thing.

  • Why do you keep saying recession?

    I don’t know if you’re being intentionally obtuse about this? In case you’re asking in good faith, I say recession because I don’t think it’s mutually exclusive from the housing bubble popping. I think if one happens the other will follow. But that’s just me.

    I don't think prices will drop, period. The moment they do, a company will buy up all it can and prevent the average citizen from owning anything, just as you said.

    Ok then.

  • People that can’t afford a property now won’t be able to either when we go in a recession. Housing prices will drop, sure, but so will people’s incomes/savings. Individuals and entities that have deep pockets can withstand this dip and swoop in to buy up all the cheap properties and hoard them until the prices inevitably go up again.

    I’m not the only person that thinks this way.

    Or do you think the housing market exists in a vacuum and the bubble will pop without any other economic consequences?

  • It’s sweet that you think we can just implement social policies like that.

    Only the rich and corporations would benefit from the housing market crashing.

  • No it’s the same. Then again I can’t recall seeing any marshmallow on the shelves when I visit home. I don’t think it’s a common snack in Taiwan but I could be wrong!

  • Yes I’m a liberal snowflake 🥲 thank you for seeing me.

  • I didn’t realize liberals must congregate on Reddit. I must have missed that memo.

    I left Reddit for many reasons, and I don’t owe you an explanation on any of them.

  • If you think Lemmy by default is a safe haven for conservative bigots then you’re gonna be very disappointed.

  • Imagine saying a woman isn’t a woman and thinking you’re being civil.

    You’ll find an instance that fits your liking though, I’m sure. Most other instances won’t be federated with it but you don’t want to live in our “liberal echo chamber” anyway.

  • I don't see many providers in my life that prescribe semaglutide to non-diabetic people who aren't considered overweight. Social media isn't real life. Most providers won't prescribe medications for weight loss unless the BMI supports it. The fact of the matter is that A LOT of people in Canada and US are overweight and with that comes with a slew of health complications that frankly I'd like to mitigate for my patients.

  • Most health care providers go over risks and benefits prior to initiating any kind of treatment. What the hell are you on about?

    If I have an overweight patient who has tried for years to lose weight but can’t sustain it (which is the case for most overweight people) and are at risk for metabolic diseases and cardiovascular complications, and I have something that evidence tells me can help with weight management, you bet your ass I’m going to talk about it as an option.

    Or would you prefer that fat people remain fat until they develop diabetes (and its various associated complications) before I’m even allowed to discuss semaglutide?

    Patients are oftentimes aware of the potential side effects and the rebound weight gain. People don’t jump straight to an expensive injectable drug as the first option for weight management. It’s something that they try after a string of failed attempts by other means.

  • I think that was swipe forward right? You can either swipe back or forward and that was my my favourite thing about Apollo too.

    For now I’m just happy that swipe back works. I’m sure one day swipe forward will be implemented!

  • This is so fucking stupid.

    When a patient comes in with a positive pregnancy test, the first thing I ask is always “how do we feel about this?” You don’t want to continue with the pregnancy? Say no more. Let’s take care of it.

    What the fuck even is an “aesthetic injury”?
