    The Fast Food Thread

    It is still the worst thing on the menu, and thats a big statement for a place that serves a fucking fish sandwich (OK this statement is not really fair because obviously I have never ordered the fucking fish sandwich) I mean its bland fucking lunchmeat, kind of warmed up, slopped on a bun...

    This is correct and also even once people realize it they still won't stop. The perspective from the outside is fuckin wild.

    Oh for actual fucks sakes. No. What compels people to pretend this? Whats the payoff?

    Do you dispute that such a category exists? Whats the end game here?

    Weight Loss Thread

    Fair, I'll admit I'm not super familiar with BP meds and was arguing the more general case. If the facts are as you describe, then BP meds go in the same category as Ozempic and I think people should view their side effects differently than lifesaving meds without alternatives.

    Weight Loss Thread

    Absolutely, but the difference is there are 100% effective treatments for obesity with zero negative side effects. With medical treatments its always about comparing the new treatment versus whats already available. Putting down the chips was already available, so its reasonable that people...

    I don't get the contradiction. You take BP meds to save your life, and there arent any real non-medication alternatives. People take Ozempic to make their double chin go away, when they could just stop snacking instead. I think its perfectly reasonable to view side effects differently in...

    I wanted to see this right after WandaVision, but man that plot summary isnt doing them any favors.

    Little House on the Prairie

    I have to admit I totally didn't know he was in the book. You got me, good catch.

    The Odyssey (2026)

    I had to look this up cause I had never heard of it. LMAO, the Wiki is hilarious. Its like listening to David Attenborough narrate a documentary about oogabooga tribesmen, trying to sound all intellectual like they have a valid culture. This shit is like its own category of humor, I can't find...

    Little House on the Prairie

    I was foolishly optimistic when I saw that they'd cast ordinary American people to play the Ingles. Then black doctor, LMAO. Yeah, a black doctor on the fucking prairie in the fucking 1800s. LHOTP always had a subtext about sympathy for injuns. Their presence alone in the trailer isnt enough...

    IT/Software career thread: Invert binary trees for dollars.

    There is nothing spoiled or unusual about this. Public transportation is literally hell, and the fact that people manage to survive it is a mindblowing testament to how adaptable the human brain is. Like stockholm syndrome. The brain will just take fucking anything you've experienced for long...

    For sure, although depending on the location it may easily be another "there isnt a number large enough" situation.

    The Odyssey (2026)

    Like usual I can't tell if we're having a language issue. Are you saying that movie was bad because of Ashton Kutcher's casting? It was super boring but are you really saying it was because of him? What, his "acting ability" wasnt up to it?
