The reason people s**t on ozempic is because it’s just a medical version of every other quick fix diet trend. They’re now talking about ozempic bounce back where most people regain the weight after stopping ozempic (I just looked up one study that said people regained 2/3rds of the weight they lost in the first year). And somehow people are shocked this happens?? If you don’t fix the underlying diet/exercise/hormonal issues, then there’s no point in taking ozempic. Studies have also found that overweight people tend to overestimate their calories burned and underestimate their calories consumed. Long story short, it’s hard to believe someone when they say they’re eating a calorie deficit and not losing weight because it’s almost never true (excluding the cases where people have a hormonal medicinal condition that needs to be addressed in which case that’s what the doctor should be looking into and not prescribing quick fix medications).
It is the same place. And it’s awful. This town on Santorini island was the worst, most overcrowded tourist place I’ve ever been… and I’ve been to Rome. Only topped perhaps by the Vatican (which I think is worth it for the culture/art history). Do not go.

Some of these: yes. Some others are too much. Why am I even working and making money if I can’t enjoy my life a little while I’m still healthy/young enough to do so. For me it’s a question of time and what’s valuable to me. I will splurge on travel and hobbies, but I rarely eat out (also for health reasons). Yes, I can take the cheaper route, but if it’s going to cost me too much time then it’s not worth it. It’s the different between buying the cheapest flight and saving yourself 2 hours for the slightly more expensive option. I grew up poor and now make a comfortable salary - comfortable enough to treat myself and still save. Just don’t waste money on things that don’t actually add value / bring joy to your life and you’ll be fine (assuming you’re not on a super tight budget).
I agree this doesn’t add up. Who in their right mind would push for full custody of children to take them away from a capable mother... If anything I would expect him to not want any custody rather than the reverse now that he’s finally able to explore his sexuality fully. What’s more, courts tend to side with the mother, so it’s weird there’s even a possibility she would lose custody unless there’s a real reason she SHOULD lose custody. She alludes to mental health problems and I image that’s the real story. The husband doesn’t believe the kids are safe in her care when he’s not around and so he’s trying to take them. She turned to Reddit for sympathy and gave half a story.

I told the husband of one of my dearest friends that his wife was sneaking out at night to go to bars alone to drink, and that two other of our "friends" were covering for her. I then wrote her a letter saying how much I loved her and worried about her, but understood if she never spoke to me again. She called me the night before she left for rehab, still hurt and angry but acknowledging that her mother had pointed out how much I must care to put myself in that position. When she got back from rehab, she was a new person and thanked me for saving her life. Unfortunately the damage was done to her marriage, but she eventually met another man and led her best, sober life. Several years later, COVID took her, but I swear I feel her with me every day.

Sorry, but wtf? Her conclusion is that she will not talk to married men?? I get the wife is angry at being left with two kids while he doesn't work, but that is a HIM issue, not OP's. Imo, everyone* is allowed to talk** to everyone*. (*Strangers, **chit chat).
Literally walked out of a restaurant last week when we were informed we had to scan the menu, which required providing personal information, and then, in addition, you had to place your order from their app. Bye.

People going in expecting $1000 service for $100.
I watched a video about how these digital locks are super easy to break into. It’s almost like not having a lock.
