Is that taken at Niagra’s Bird Kingdom, or do those places all use the same kind of stoneware? What a handsome lad too, posing for the papparazzi!
If memory serves me correctly … <bites luscious red bell pepper and chews, confidently laughing to self about something you’ll never understand!>
Ask Robin 😁
Even accounting for exchange rates etc that is insane. With my numbers I’d be paying $78k annually just for my medication. Bitch I don’t even earn that much in a year!
Ecit: heh I’m pretty salty about this one I guess but pharmaceutical pricing for biologics is ridiculous, and I think its outrageous to push the burden onto people who are chronically sick. Fuck that.
PURE PROTEIN!
Forcing people to switch medications in this manner may have saved the government money but has put the lives of the patients at risk. If you’re taking a biologic medication, there’s always a chance your body could grow accustomed to it and eventually reject the medication. And there’s a limited number of available biologics to try. And it takes months for the patient’s body to adjust. IMO this was a strategy that was the easiest solution but really doesn’t account for the patients at all. There could at least have been a staggered approach by implementing the change slowly as a natural need to switch medications arose, maximising patient safety. Instead, people with “invisible illnesses” are being forced to unnecessarily switch their medications, reducing the options available to them if the switch doesn’t work. The patient impact would need to be monitored over years to manage this responsibly.
Patients should not be pressured to switch their life-altering medications in order to save the government money. Where is the pressure on pharmaceutical companies to lower their goddamn prices so that patients aren’t expected to absorb all the cost and risks in these scenarios? My medications would cost me or the government $1500/month. I totally agree with the government that the price is insane. PATIENTS DON’T SET THE PRICES.
Another today saying “if our produce isn’t fresh, it’s free!”. Duh doi if your produce isn’t fresh, I don’t want to buy it
I heard a radio ad today saying they offer price drops EVERY 4 WEEKS! Like, bitch, this is a NEW feature you’re desparately using to lure people back, not something that was always a thing.
I said “ve’ll cut off your johnson!”
To the best of my understanding, mathematics isn’t referencing a singular object but is used as an encompassing term to refer to content from multiple schools of mathematics e.g. geometry, statistics, calculus, algebra etc. Or in other words, all the subjects covered in math/maths class! 😊
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Dear Netflix, I’ve been a loyal customer since 2013. I’ve been perfectly happy with our arrangement. YOU are the one terminating our contract, not me. It seems you’d prefer to get rid of a happy, paying customer in the hopes you can somehow persuade them to embrace a higher cost or shittier experience (ads). That’s a bold move Cotton. Buh-bye dons pirate hat

Because it’s the short form of “mathematics”
Although typically I’ve seen the UK call it maths and North Americans call it math.
Not weird at all, just a different perspective they weren’t previously aware of. One group I know of that does this is people who follow stoicism. Memento mori!
This time for Africa!
If you remember the books, do you also remember the tv show, or was just in the UK?
Lee Pace FTW! Try The Fall if you haven’t seen is before!
Friend this is beautifully written! I was also a healthy weight in high school, but that didn’t stop almost every woman in my life telling me we needed to constantly strive to be thinner. These ideas were presented like a trauma-response; it usually stemmed from the insecurities that had been presented to that person as a “normal” way to coexist in society when they were growing up.
I don’t blame these women for perpetuating the cycle, but I can change how I respond to these ideas. I reject the idea of telling other people what to think about their own weight. It takes time and effort to adjust to this way of thinking, but I firmly believe we have to strive to be better than the trauma of our past. (This is still a work in progress for me, because some days it feels like I’m swimming against the tide)
That being said, I was firmly convinced that I was never going to lose the extra weight I had built up over the years. I am glad to say that I’ve found a solution based in psychology, that helped me understand all the food distortions I’d absorbed or self-inflicted over the years. I won’t say the brand name unless someone asks, but it’s been amazing to realise that beliefs instilled in me as a teenager can be changed over time.
Personally, I need the change to be gradual so I can reinforce my healthy eating habits and set aside my unhealthy eating habits. Once I re-focused on my eating habits it started to change things for me. For the first time in about 10 years, I’ve lost 50lbs since last year, and am consciously making healthier choices in my life.
Lovely lemmy lurkers, I wish you all the best of luck and empowerment in your journeys to live healthier and happier!
Always I think about Tony …
