  • You completely ignored the “permanent lifestyle change” aspect. It doesn’t matter whether the person in need of weight loss does it via diet and exercise or via diet and ozempic, the diet/lifestyle that they got themselves fat on has to change.

    You’re basically blaming the drug for the person’s inability to psychologically deal with diet. That isn’t what the drug does. No, you don’t need to eat back to your old weight, that’s the part where permanent change to diet comes in.

    I already stated a caveat for conditions that may be outside the user’s control, so don’t use that as an excuse for all users. Yet again, the doctor and patient have to discuss the risks. I’m done here.










  • Rotating an apple was easy.

    Then I tried putting a face on it. That didn’t work.

    On a whim I searched for an image of an apple with a face on it, found one, and found it easy to rotate that imaginary apple and face.

    I can imagine drawing a face on an apple, but find it harder to keep it in my brain if I rotate it.

    I wonder if the brain has an easier time taking a “snapshot” of something you’ve taken in from eyesight and manipulating it rather than generating an internal image from scratch and holding that image while working with it.
