Yes, this is Luo Yi Rong, who absolutely is the same sculptor from that astonishingly inept self-own by an idiot.

i think what confuses me the most about how white liberals have knee jerk reactions to poc not tolerating fascist is if the fascist just didnt exist we would not have these issues like the world would quite literally be a better place if everyone was in lockstep and agreed “anyone who thinks xyz minority is subhuman is not allowed among us in any capacity” like it is not a hard ask, that is the lowest bar in the world u would think we are asking them to split a atom or something, they just dont see how believing other people are not people based on race is inherently violent like there is no way for that belief to be held without you being a danger to other people

literally like its crazy it’s crazy to be constantly told you have to shake hands and move on about people who are saying to your face they see no difference between you and a monkey deserving of being put in a cage. Over Skin Color.

GLP-1 medications for weight-loss: a triumph of marketing over patient care

GLP-1 weight loss drugs are receiving an avalanche of positive press. From major media outlets to trade publications, clinical, policy, and lay audiences have been inundated with articles declaring...

Synopsis: The benefits of GLP-1 weight-loss drugs (like semaglutide) are frequently overstated due to selective reporting, industry influence, and widespread conflicts of interest in both research and media coverage.

While they can produce short-term weight loss, results vary widely, often plateau within a year, and are difficult to maintain—especially since discontinuation leads to rapid weight regain and loss of health benefits.

Cardiovascular benefits are modest and inconsistently distributed across populations, and adverse effects—ranging from common gastrointestinal issues to serious complications—may be underreported.

Overall, the current evidence and marketing practices obscure significant limitations and risks, undermining informed consent and exaggerating the drugs’ long-term effectiveness and safety.

slightly furious reminder that fish do in fact feel pain and do in fact experience fear and distress when in pain since people seem to love spreading the myth that fish don't feel pain. what is it with people assuming a creature is incapable of feeling pain or emotion just because it doesn't have complex facial muscles. come on gang

[asaltysquid]

As my main income, I work with fish in a specialty pet store that's privately owned (so I'm allowed to say no and be stern to customers when it's needed).

You learn really quickly that not only do fish have individual personalities and emotions but they also have memories and recognize people! There are certain fish who will only come out for me and hide for everyone else. The pufferfish spits at me because she gets pissy that I haven't fed her. The flowerhorn bites everyone but me and my coworker when we clean his tank. I trained a fire eel to come up and eat directly out of my hand.

Fish are beautiful complex creatures and I thank the universe everyday that I get to work in a place where I'm encouraged to tell animal abusers to fuck right off.

So, like, fun fact: all of us, down to nearly the very base of animal tree of life, basically have the same neurotransmitters for motivation/drive. We all seem to have comparable pain receptors and react to opioids (pain reduction)

(Well, invertebrates use octopamine instead of noradrenaline, but supposedly that is very similar.)

And by almost the entire tree of life I do mean all of us: mammals, fish, bugs, jellyfish, POSSIBLY sponges (it is a little unclear if someone checked)

All, that is, except ctenophores.

Also known as 'a swimming string of led lights wrapped in a plastic bag'.

Completely different neurochemistry.

May as well be aliens.

it is impossible to watch a movie. every night i think i want to watch a movie. no movie gets watched. because it's not possible

[mousidy]

and yet they keep making movies with the hopes that one day humanity will discover a way to watch them. it's so inspiring
