I remember this. I was in college and found out I'd gone from normal to overweight, overnight. Fen-Phen jokes were all over campus and everyone was bastardizing Atkins and telling me I couldn't possibly have *lost* the Freshman 15 while (judiciously) eating pasta and bread. It was baaaad.

Okay but this is actually a Thing because they lowered the standards for what was considered overweight. Diet drug companies lobbied to lower it so insurance could cover weight loss meds

Heard some enraging scuttlebutt today that Schumer and Jeffries are being forced on us, and will be guaranteed, as a REWARD for the election results. A reward to THEM. That enough reps apparently think 2 guys are more important than the entire population they work for is WHY we voted new ones in.

Wow. Schumer team is so spooked at momentum building that they’re looking at changing the Dem rules to move the date of the leader election up from December to as soon as next week. thehill.com/homenews/sen...

No anesthesia drama, but I went to Disneyland with my bf and anti-bf soon after I was allowed real solid food. Went great until what I thought was a grain of rice got stuck in one gum wound. When I went to flush it out, I found it was a piece of carrot, fully jammed in. Needed forceps to get it out.

I'm 52 and I just got my sole wisdom tooth removed. I'm sitting here chomping down on gauze waiting for the numbing to wear off and I want to hear your weird wisdom tooth stories.

so uh humble bundle vibe coded their new site and it not only fucked a whole lot of features, it also fucked security to the point I can only recommend you remove your personnel & payment data because it is liable to be on the streets in about 3... 2...

Heads up! Humble Bundle has released a new vibe coded version of their website which removes a HOST of critical security features. Now may be a wise time to remove any payment information you might have saved to your account. www.reddit.com/r/humblebund...

Because I’ve seen this error a few times in the last week, a reminder: “Rein in ICE” = enact and enforce legal restrictions on the agency. “Reign in ICE” = rule in a frozen kingdom. To avoid this error, please use the correct phrase: “Abolish ICE.”

✨ 2,000 year old jewel-coloured Roman glass cup to brighten the day! ✨ Made of ‘ribbon’ technique mosaic glass, this lovely vessel is a wonderful example of the creativity and skill of ancient glassmakers. From Pompeii. Museo Archeologico Nazionale di Napoli 📷 by me #Archaeology

My photo shows a small hemispherical glass cup composed of blue, yellow, green, white, and red bands of glass. This type of ancient glass is known as 'ribbon mosaic' as it looks like a series of coloured ribbons. The cup has a yellow rim. It is displayed on a glass museum surface.

We struggled with dial-up We built webpages and communities using hosts that gave us 5 megs of space to work with. I hand-coded entire fan art galleries and fanfic libraries. Then ChatGPT breezes in practically last night, and suddenly nobody can wipe their asses anymore? Fuck that. Fuck you.
