Killed a single dad at a traffic stop...after (allegedly) driving his car at agents, hitting one, and dragging that person for some distance.

R-word also making a comeback.
Strongly tempted to make a "bofa" joke here.
Third and last genre, real-time battle sim (though I usually just played against the computer):
In the RPG genre, wa y back in the day, I dug the NES version of Ultima 3:
Not a big gamer, but probably:
They believe when Will cites "median income" he is actually talking about the median value from set of unique income values, regardless of how many people are in each income bucket. So the median of [ $1, $1, $1, $1, $5, $10 ] would be $5 and not $1.
You're doing God's work, Katherine.
Of note: current law allows parents to consume alcohol with their minor-age children so long as they are physically present. Mapping onto these laws: just give parents the ability to opt their kids out of the restrictions. Parents who want them get them; parents who don't, don't.
Feel like they could have cast Ryan Reynolds in place of Jude Law and it would have worked.
I'm not the target audience (being an adult), but it's better than I expected. Thought the episode on the "Hatfields and McCoys" planet was kind of weak.
I still contend that what *most* irks people about weight loss drugs is when people use them who are legitimately sedentary and have a poor diet, then make no lifestyle changes whatsoever.
The guy with an identical lifestyle to mine who is ~100lb overweight? He almost certainly can't keep a healthy weight without a herculean effort. He should get on medication. At the same time, he should also put forth a reasonable amount of effort to make lifestyle changes.
I count myself in the first category, by the way. I'm ~25 pounds overweight. If I ate right and jogged a couple miles each day I could achieve a healthy weight. The amount of effort it would take to do that is not unreasonable, but I nevertheless can't muster it. ...
Let me explicitly say it then: it is not a moral failing to be fat.
That said, certain people who are fat could be not-fat without the benefit of medication given a reasonable amount of effort. There are other people (who are also fat) for whom that is not the case.
I'm capable of understanding other peoples' criticisms even when I don't agree with them, and then discussing whether those criticisms are being mischaracterized.
... and are folks who could reasonably be expected to maintain a healthy weight without medical assistance.
... genetics (or chemical imbalance, whatever) that makes it "extra hard" for them to maintain a healthy weight, and they would not necessarily be opposed to *those* individuals taking Ozempic. In their view, however, the *majority* of Ozempic users do not fall into this category, ...
I see where you're coming from, but I also think I disagree. Putting myself in the position of the Ozempic critics, I don't think they (by and large) believe that ALL obesity is due to moral failing. That is, I think they can wrap their heads around the fact that *some* individuals have ...
It's clearly not "doing the work", but I don't view that as negatively as the folks do who are highly critical of Ozempic use.
... those drugs, they're just too lazy to "do the work" and are medicating instead.
... have ever needed heart surgery if you'd eaten healthy you whole life, but that ship has sailed. People don't begrudge you taking medical action to avoid dying. With obesity itself, they resent drug-based treatments because they associate them with laziness. In this view nobody "needs" ...
Seems like those have meaningful differences that explain why they're viewed differently from plain-old obesity. At the point you need stints, heart surgery, insulin, etc. you can't do anything to "fix" your condition. If you need heart surgery then you need heart surgery. Granted you may not ...
In college I ate ham or tuna sandwiches, hot dogs, and cold cereal. It's a wonder my teeth didn't fall out.
... start to pay less than they once did.
Yes. And I'm saying that I don't believe "being a doctor" will become devalued in the collective minds of the U.S. population any time soon. Given the amount of training involved, medical doctors will continue to occupy an elevated position *even if* certain types of medicine ...
So I read that, and I'm not seeing where it talks about the medical profession *as a whole* ("writ large") becoming lower status. It does speak to that happening within specific specialties. Did I miss it?
Key words: "writ large".
