I am now officially a #Freemason as i have now finished my initiation (first degree mason).
It is so cringe when i hear people hijack general less descriptive terms like "neurodivergent" to mean really silly arbitrary things like adhd and autism... we already have descriptive terms and that word already means something useful before you bastardized it.
> It was the lack of bodily autonomy.
As (partially unrelated) side note, if we see the "big picture", we have no full "bodily autonomy", because we live in a society influencing what we eat, drink and breathe, i.e. many things that affects our body and our health are influenced a lot by laws and society behavior, and not only from our direct choices.
It is an eternal balance between how much we are single entities or parts of a group. IMHO, in many cases vaccines require to act like a group, and not as an individual, because with our behavior we are influencing other people.
It depends also from the type of vaccine obviously. For example, in case of COVID, in the end the vaccine was effective only for the variants before the omicron, because it reduced the stress on the sanitary system. But in this case, a nation can also decide to reduce assistance to no-vaccinated people.
Just a reminder... no matter how much you listen or try to genuinely understand them.. this is almost always the outcome when you discuss things with a leftist... Either you agree with them, or they get offended, make personal attacks, and walk.
Every interaction I have with the left leaves me wanting to have less to do with them than the time before, and this is sad since I associate more with left ideals in many cases than right ones.

#Chroma glasses are a medical scam taking advantage of #ColorBlind people.
Kinda weird, but I always wish I had an #Amish friend. Of course given their lifestyle I know thats impossible, or if it were to ever happen it would be an ex-amish. But still, I'd really enjoy that.
As some of you know ive been on #Ozempic / #Wegovy / #Semiglutide once daily instead of the usual weekly.
I created a log of my historic blood accumulation when i was on once weekly and now that im on a daily adjusted dose. The blue lines show total amount in my blood, red i dicates equivelant weekly dose based on daily dose x7 and yellow is based on expected blood concentration.
As you can see the daily dosing produces much more constant levels. This is based on the typocal 7 day half life.
ideally, morality is about being able to live peacefully with others
I dont have too much trouble with people seeing #Antifa as terrorists, their pattern of behavior kinda lines up with this. But by that same logic I'd argue the #ThinBlueLine folks, and really the vast majority of police officers are likewise terrorists.
So apparently a plate of rigatoni with cheese and red sauce according to the restaurant is like 1600 calories.... how the fuck is a single plate of food literally a full days worth of calories.... how! How is this normal....
16 lbs down since started #Ozempic / #Semiglutide
I also started on TRT 3 days ago which seems to have jump started the weight loss again resulting in 2 more lbs lost since then.
Looks like I might also have hypothyroidism, waiting for the second test on that one.
