Horrible invention to make society even lazier

"there's a pill for that" is the bottom-of-the-barrel of avoiding putting effort into anything

Get surgery

take pills

do anything, anything at all, other than take responsibility and make personal life changes

Even before med school or I knew anything about health, I've always prioritized physical activity. I build my daily schedule M-F around WHEN I get to the gym. Everything else is scheduled around this.

*insert 1,000 excuses*
Fuck this mentality.

You like going to the gym? Good. Do that. Enjoy it, get the most out of it.

Not everyone likes going to the gym. And your response to that should not be, "Suffer, fatties!".

People have to live their own lives, and most of them aren't going to revolve around the things you like. If someone doesn't like going to the gym they should feel free to take whatever alternative steps they want to maintain their health to the degree they want.

This sneering superiority serves no one and and aids nothing. You're supposed to be a medical professional? Quit. Unless you can grow some empathy and lose the narcissism.

As if there's some part of Eurovision that isn't weird.

I never understood this mindest. Yes, they likely do not care about me. But why should I care about that? In a normal world, a relationship between a politician and their constituents should be purely 100% transactional: they pass legislation I like, I vote for them. They don't pass that legislation or prove to be incompitent, I vote them out.

With this reality, why should I give a flying fuck what they think about me? It's almost as if I'm being told that I should pursue parasocial relationships with my elected officials, which just screams wrong to me.
That's not what that means.

"Democrats and Republicans are not dealing with the issues you elected them for, and are spending time and resources on weird tangents that you could care less about."

"Politicians are not engaged with your actual concerns."

"They don't care about you."

The violence would be the same, you'd just be less aware of it.

It was slightly difficult to see them before pulling them up, so it was a bit before people figured how they looked while listening to Queen and Bowie collabs, and by then the name stuck.
