It’s Colombia btw, not Columbia.

A lot of people who are on methadone, don’t necearrily have a doctor to prescribe them something, they should, but they don’t, good info for those who do though.

Why don’t the democrats simply discipline their members helping Trump’s agenda then? Because I think the title is pretty accurate if they can’t be bothered to do the bare minimum against it.

I think the conventional wisom is diet is more important than exercise in losing weight, although I think most people would recommend working out once a week regardless if you would lose weight or not, basically any working out would be positive if you aren’t at all, it couldn’t hurt to do sit ups and push ups and see where that takes you.

IDK, people can downvote what they want. I unchecked the show upvotes and show downvotes options on the first day I made an account not gonna have a conditioned response to a number every time I post something or read a post, would highly recommend doing it personally.

If the downvoting seems suspicious like somebody might have used bots to mass downvote it, you can always message the instance mods as that would violate the instance rules of pretty much any instance.

“what about” it?

The idea of turning a massacre site into a beach destination is sadly not unique to them, could easily swap out the flag to the countries of a bunch of different places like Bali & Jeju island.

which apps are seeing your shared storage when you export your contacts?

in a foss contacts app

I said in a foss one, I don’t think the foss developers are conspiring to get rid of your contacts, maybe for apple you might have to hope the developer doesn’t get burnt out, but the android foss community is pretty robust, but if you’re that paranoid just put them in a txt file or a spreadsheet.

You might still have to use a gmail account for this though, depending on if your email works with it.

There’s also Nextcloud which would be self hosted.

And the extremely low tech solution of just having them offline in a foss contacts app and exporting backups from that app to your storage in case you lose them.

If you’re gonna drop this kind of comment please get in the habit of sourcing your claims. No one should take your word for this without at least knowing where your claims are coming from, show your sources.

I assume you are getting this from amnesty international reports.

Dude is trying to turn himself into human Foie gras.

It is very obvious what is meant by this.

The author is taking issue with these drugs being prescribed specifically in examples like given in the title and doesn’t believe that some people who are currently being prescribed these drugs should have access to them

Pharmacists Warn That People With Eating Disorders Are Misusing Wegovy Prescriptions

I disagree with your definition of original source. If AP writes an article, then Yahoo news takes that article and attributes it to the AP and links to the AP article, and publishes it, that yahoo news article does not become the original source the AP article is the origanal source.

In the case we are discussing the Mondoweiss article is a full day older, I don’t understand where you are coming from. If you want to post the reprinted version that is fine, but you are not posting the original article when you post a reprinted version.

There isn’t original source per se

If you would rather post the Truthout version that is fine, but the original article for this article spefically is the Mondoweiss one, it is the original source and was submitted there by the author, it is simply redistributed by Truthout. I don’t know what you think redistribution is at that point if you think there isn’t an original source.

It says this at the bottom of the article. They just reprint articles from sources cool with them doing that. If you look at an article they actually wrote it says

On August 5, an angry President Reagan carried out his threat, and the federal government began firing the 11,359 air-traffic controllers who had not returned to work. In addition, he declared a lifetime ban on the rehiring of the strikers by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). On August 17, the FAA began accepting applications for new air-traffic controllers, and on October 22 the Federal Labor Relations Authority decertified PATCO.

This is the finding out part when you do the fucking around.

During World War II, in which he was rejected for military service, he was associated with the left wing of the British Labour party, but didn’t much sympathise with their views, for even their reckless version of socialism seemed too well organised for him. He wasn’t much affected, apparently, by the Nazi brand of totalitarianism, for there was no room within him except for his private war with Stalinist communism. Consequently, when Great Britain was fighting for its life against Nazism, and the Soviet Union fought as an ally in the struggle and contributed rather more than its share in lives lost and in resolute courage, Orwell wrote Animal Farm which was a satire of the Russian Revolution and what followed, picturing it in terms of a revolt of barnyard animals against human masters. He completed Animal Farm in 1944 and had trouble finding a publisher since it wasn’t a particularly good time for upsetting the Soviets. As soon as the war came to an end, however, the Soviet Union was fair game and Animal Farm was published. It was greeted with much acclaim and Orwell became sufficiently prosperous to retire and devote himself to his masterpiece, 1984.

I did not know it was finished in 1944, that is wild, no wonder it’s taught in American schools.

If you post the Ten Commandments in a classroom, students will read the rule against committing adultery, and Sen. Cora Neumann had a question about that situation.

The Montana Legislature already has told schools to notify parents about anything related to sex — even teaching Romeo and Juliet — so parents can have their children “opt out” of the lesson in question.

Given that consideration, Neumann wondered how teachers would handle the situation with the Ten Commandments — from a practical standpoint.

“This is actually going against our own Legislature’s ruling of the last session of exposing children to explicit sexual references,” said Neumann, D-Bozeman.

I would love to see a court square the circle on how bringing up adultery has nothing to do with sex.

Just letting you know because you probably care about this kind of thing, this article was originally from Mondoweiss, in an effort to avoid reposting I would probably just use the original source over Truthout, when it is an article recirculated by them, I posted this 10 minutes before you with the Mondoweiss article.
