>Fine, the title is an exaggeration. But only a small one. GLP-1 receptor agonist medications like Ozempic are already FDA-approved to treat diabetes and obesity. But an increasing body of research finds they're also effective against stroke, heart disease, kidney disease, Parkinson's, Alzheimer's, alcoholism, and drug addiction.

redditors predictions

https://old.reddit.com/r/Cricket/comments/1iqwh6b/rcricket_champions_trophy_predictions_thread/

There's a lot here, but a summary and some key takeaways:

Lady is a feminist and a dominatrix. Decides she wants to fight for social justice in a small South African kingdom. Applies to the Peacecorps; is told that up to half of all Peacecorps volunteers ragequit, and is she absolutely certain she wants to continue fighting for social justice? Says yes, gets in the program, is informed on arrival that there will be no fighting for social justice, since Africans are racist and sexist and the local King will absolutely FAFO the Peacecorps if it fricks around.

Whole country is full of AIDS. 25% of all people have HIV, including 40% (yes) of all pregnant women.

Lots of little details come to light, such as:

A man killed his wife for asking him to wear a condom. Whether this is a reasonable thing to do or not is, evidently, a matter of national debate in their society.

Peacecorps volunteers can't wear anything too slutty, like mom jeans, else they might get r*ped. Having to wear a dress and not being allowed to wear jeans causes her fellow volunteers so much distress that at least one of her coworkers quits.

Libertarianism is rampant. To the point where they have billboards everywhere warning adults that fricking kids will give them AIDS.

It's not just normies, either. Apparently the King himself spotted a middleschooler he wanted to bang; her family tried to flee to England, so he had the Secret Service track her down and abduct her.

Because Africans hate hookers, Peacecorps volunteers find themselves needing to do HIV outreach work while simultaneously avoiding groups with HIV, lest they anger the locals too much.

The Peacecorps offers months of training and ideological reinforcement, but after that, has no idea what the frick it's doing. Every individual volunteer is, evidently, expected to think of something useful to do on their own, if and when they get assigned to a village; there's no "plan". Just liberal 20-somethings, abandoned amongst AIDS-riddled libertarian male feminists, with truckfulls of cash and rapidly souring views on the nobility of underprivileged Africa.

Eventually Our Heroine finds a village where hookers have formed a union, of a sorts, and is like OOO GOODY as a hooker myself, that's for me.

Unfortunately, it turns out most of the hookers aren't actually hookers. They're fake hookers, only telling the NGOs that they work as hookers because they expect government gibs earmarked for s*x workers. There is, apparently, no way of screening any of them, so everyone loots the hooker aid money and nobody cares.

But whatever, some of them are probably hookers right?

The local NGOees hit on a brilliant plan to convert the "hookers" into car wash attendants - even though there's almost no cars, and the only "road" in the community is a mud track that makes cleaning an effort in futility.

But the car wash is abandoned halfway through the building process, after the money is handed out but before anything concrete and workable is in place. Instead of waiting to finish the wash (which would have been an economic failure anyways, given the aforementioned lack of roads), the Peacecorp Kids organize a press event and take a bunch of photos to go on their resumes, before every single one of them leaves.

The half-finished car wash is abandoned and the Africans go back to hooking. Only lasting legacy are the news reports touting the success of those bright-eyed white liberals helping African hookers get on their feet.

The fact that she, also, fricked off out of Africa and cynically hates her Peacecorps work, same as the rest of the buttholes she worked with, goes unremarked.

OH, and frick Trump and Elon, they're the real problem, even though aid doesn't work it's important we support it anyway. Maybe she'll explain this in a subsequent article...?

>Shadows is currently on par with that of Assassins Creed Odyssey in terms of its pre-order numbers. "Early previews have been positive, praising its narrative and immersive experience, with both characters playing critical roles in the game's storyline, as well as the quality and complementarity of the gameplay provided by the dual protagonist approach," Guillemot said in the most recent earnings call.

>At the time of writing, Shadows currently has around 300,000 pre-orders, said sources and Odyssey's day one player numbers were between 400-450,000; a gap of around 100-150,000 that needs to be made up in the next four weeks.

In case you're like me, and had no idea what an "ego death" involves other than a vague awareness of it being some kind of Freudian nonsense:

Oh, he went nuts. Why not just say so?

So Bardfinn was a normal well adjusted functioning adult 20-30 years ago?

Not exactly.

That's right. Our neighbor walked away from the best job he ever had because the boys wanted to go to Hooters.

Now he collects welfare payments and creates AI horrors he can post on BlueSky for 27 likes.

The reason everyone hates malls is because these days they're filled by groups of Edgars asking every second girl for their phone number and young neighbors starting fights and forcing people to be in their public interviews. The girls aren't exempt from criticism either. the non-white girls just can't stop themselves from being loud and shit and shoplifting. All these little disruptions make any public place more hassle than it's worth. The number of times I've seen some BIPOC try to "holla" at one of my female friends after leaving them for 2 seconds is just ridiculous. I can't imagine how tiring life is having to deal with this 24/7.

In the dead of winter, on a day with -27°C wind chill, in FiveFinger shoes (my toes are still cold), on icy trails, in a state that hates anything other than cars, on a dead ebike (25kg), and with no additional planning than "I should bring a rope today," I was able to transport a full 4'x8' sheet of plywood from the hardware store to my home for model railroading without any issues at all. If I could do it under these conditions, then anybody could do it under nearly any conditions.

AstroG4 had a problem: He loves trains, but he just doesn't have quite enough wood. Now a normal person would look at the weather, then hop in their GMC Yukon XL Denali and run over fifty children on their way to pick up plywood.

AstroG4's too eco-conscience for that. Instead, he strapped on his goddarn FiveFingers shoes with the individual toes, mounted his glorified Huffy, and braved the subzero temperatures on a non-functioning eBike to prove to the rest of us that you CAN, in fact, transport one full sheet of plywood on a walmart-tier Trek bicycle.

You may be asking yourself "how is that a full 4x8 sheet when it's clearly cut into 4x2 sections?"

Three splices, actually, but perfectly sound logic. I could grind a piece of plywood into sawdust, dump it into a backpack, carry it onto a plane, then reglue it back into a 4x8 sheet and claim I was able to carry-on a sheet of plywood.

But honestly, that's not the reason I'm posting this. Much like the /r/malelivingspaces threads that Carp would post (please do more, they're fun), I want everyone to look at his model trainery.

The more you look, the more you see.

• Pieces extending beyond necessary length

• Jigsawed paths for curved tracks

• Everything is made of scrap remnants you'd normally toss or burn

• Drywall screws everywhere

• Scrap pieces used as spliceblocks, seemingly using tie-wire to hold them to the main track curve

• Thin tinmetal braces held on by a single screw, no washer, in no way actually bracing the legs

• The table-thing in the foreground (lower right corner) has a short leg, being extended with a single carriage bolt

• Handwriting looks like a fat neurodivergent, using the cheapest tan masking tape he could find.

• A single laser-cut cupholder, clearly not his own work

I'm still baffled by how he can be so terrible at woodworking on the right half of the picture, but appears to have functional drawer slides and flush-mounted buttons on the left half.

And since this is Reddit, you guessed it: he's nonbinary and posts in femboymemes link

thanks and godbless !friendsofxirabolt

'Some sources suggested that the reluctance to push ahead with broader [gender change] reform was down to a desire to protect relations with the United States.' So Trump succeeded where a multitude of British women, including lifelong leftists, failed. 1/4https://t.co/V4oUQbCvhg

However, in spite of the puberty blockers ban, 'separate moves for a transgender-inclusive ban on “conversion therapy” are understood to be going ahead.' This means therapists will be banned from fully exploring why a child wants to transition. 2/4https://t.co/V4oUQbD36O

We know that children who are neurodivergent, same-s*x attracted and those who've experienced sexual abuse are overrepresented at gender clinics. We also know, from multiple studies, that the vast majority of children grow out of gender dysphoria if allowed to go through puberty. 3/4

Therapists and gay activists have begged Labour to realise that the affirmation-only model could cause serious, irreparable harm to minors, to no effect. I suppose we have to hope Trump says it soon. Then, maybe, they'll listen. 4/X

Why is Sweden so r-slurred?

What makes afghan refugees so important that they won't get deported no matter what crimes they commit, but a Ukrainian nursing student who's been in Sweden for a decade and is perfectly integrated has to go back home in the middle of a war lmao

Netflix made a new documentary about Alexander The Great. Within the first 8 minutes, they turned him gay. pic.twitter.com/y56b4eDkjb

It’s still unproven speculation and should definitely not be shoved into the first 8 minutes

— End Wokeness (@EndWokeness) February 6, 2024

Noo it's not proven that Alexander was bussy blasting hot twinks nooo

Hmm..... next thing they will say, he conquered nothing 🙄

Thank you!!! Couldnt watch after that.

Nobody argues that there was no sodomy but why do they have to film romantic sunlit moments of hair stroking and talking about feelings?

Yeah, I'm glad they didn't race swap this one. 🤣🤣🤣

— BrandNewDay (@MakeThoseAngry) February 7, 2024

I know, they could have made him monkeydonian

Turned it off at that moment. It's basically unfounded speculation by leftist academics that he was homosexual or even bisexual. They might as well have cast a black or Asian actor in the role as that would've had as much historical basis.

Alexander was the only greek in Greece who didn't frick other men, that's why he was the Great

Make it gay and lame!

Hi! It's now February, and you know what that means - it's time for our annual Donkey Kong December celebration!!!!

Unlike last year (but like the year before!), this time around there are

NEW BADGES

and as you know I am extremely sleep deprived, so I will mostly be just copypasting from this thread here https://rdrama.net/post/156812/diddykongdancediddykongscaredkongmaxxing-event-badges-galore-diddykongscareddiddykongdance

NOTE: Badges appear on profiles in the order they were granted, so I will be paying out in order so as to spell K-O-N-G. So if you're just doing the G (name and stuff), that will be paid out after the event.

SUBMIT A DONKEY-KONG THEMED BANNER TO EARN YOUR K. No low effort, quality control will be exercised. You know the drill by now with how banners work.

Protip: Here is a fantastic Donkey Kong font - https://fontmeme.com/donkey-kong-font/. There are a huge number of Donkey Kong assets out there if you don't feel like creating your own.

Submit here: https://rdrama.net/submit/banners

SUBMIT A DONKEY KONG-THEMED SIDEBAR PIECE TO EARN YOUR O. Requirements: Must incorporate Marsey or another mascot (bardfinn counts if you want). No low effort, quality control will be exercised.

Submit here: https://rdrama.net/submit/sidebar

N

SUBMIT A DONKEY-KONG THEMED MARSEY or DONKEY KONG EMOJI TO EARN YOUR N. Requirements: None for Marseys, you know the drill with those by now. For straight up DK emojis, these need to be transparent background animated assets from the games. No low effort Marseys, quality control will be exercised.

Submit here: https://rdrama.net/submit/emojis

NOTE: Game assets should be submit under the new "Donkey Kong" category. Marseys still go under Marsey.

ROCK A KONG-THEMED NAME (USE "KONG" SOMEWHERE), PFP AND PRONOUNS TO EARN YOUR G. It really is that simple. The G symbolizes that you are a real and true G. Anthems, profile backgrounds, and banners aren't required because I don't have time to check all of that, but it is strongly encouraged. If you're found to have de-konged yourself before the end of the event (TBD at this time), you will LOSE YOUR G.

If you've kongmaxxed your name, leave a comment in this thread - https://rdrama.net/post/338843 - and I will review at end of event and badge those who stayed true to the faith.

BUT WAIT THERE IS MORE

ALL COINS FROM VOTES ARE DOUBLED

THAT'S EIGHT COINS PER THREAD VOTE AND TWO COINS PER COMMENT VOTE
