They're going to be able to get clicks writing up this study for decades lol

You have to be very careful about controls in this area, because GLP-1 meds are most used by diabetics and diabetics are at particular risk for blindness.

Other studies have shown what you'd expect - the drug that cures type 2 diabetes in many people also reduces their blindness risk.

Sure, but the comparison that matters is between the drugs.

Mystery! Adventure! I can't remember what you'll find there, but you'll find something.

And if you're by the coast, you'll be fine. It's inland that gets the "fucking kill me" temperatures.

Also Osteoporosis and ligament damage.

On the final season of house, and the last 2-3 seasons have been absolute dogshit.

The last good episode of House is the season finale (or opener, I can't remember which) with the crane collapse. It's not a steep slope, but it's still a decline and it starts after that and never reverses.

Pretty sure that was the finale,

Spoiler: show

he also hooks up with Cuddy in that one, also ditching the increasingly obnoxious PI in the process (who was fun initially). The episodes following that were still pretty good in my opinion; sober House was, quite honestly, the most enjoyable one, so for me, the downfall probably starts with the relapse.

.

Everything past that is just old him dialed up to eleven again, so you get to spend the rest of the series once more watching someone self-sabotage all relationships he has again and again, which, honestly, is not fun. The cases themselves remaining entertaining, but from Vogler to Tritter or some of the other larger plots, the series has a real problem with the overarching plots sucking the fun out the cases themselves, which at least remain fun/dramatic/interesting, also thanks to the team dynamics.

[Zealot]

Yeah the season that followed still had some good episodes but nothing ever hit that crane peak again. The break up episode in particular was fun until it wasn't, and I don't know if the show ever got fun again.

I'm so tired, until my dog's follow-up clears her she's not allowed to run or jump or use stairs so I'm just anxious about her every move.

The ending wasn't as strong as the season or two before. Wilson's Heart was peak House. Still a great show worth watching though

I know the world turned upside down and thousands of people died and for most it was generally Not A Good Time, but I'm still somewhat strangely nostalgic for those first couple months of lockdowns. I "worked" from home, took my dog on like a dozen walks per day, binged through Persona 5 Royal and FFVII Remake, didn't have to talk to anyone face to face except the grocery store checkout clerk for like 3 months. It was grand.

Millions*. Also covid was when the servers we're on fucked up and the simulation has been damaged ever since

I also miss work from home, I started working for the DC government after return to office was ordered, but then the mayor also reduced the number of remote days from 2 to 1 because I guess restaurant revenue was suffering. I just wanna hang out with my dog.

Yeah from a personal standpoint COVID was okay for me.

Now I'm teaching kids who actually have zero mental capacity as a result of Zoom school and AI, and I'm paying it back in spades

Pandemic times were shit. No WFH. 5% of my hours were cut for 4-5 something months. Didn't have time for much vidya. Then lost friends who thought it was fine to stay silent about the one right-wing guy in the group chat who attempted to justify the Ahmaud Arbery murder.

I don't want to go back to those times.

It was a season finale. Yes, and even that season was a slog.
