You know what I actually want? Distance-based fares instead of this bullshit zone-based business.

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!
