How do such shady businesses get such prime real estate? Right next to the central station IIRC

I guess so. Thought generally all the ones i meet who aren't civils are... well, more civil xD

Source: i study civil eng myself

As a kid and teenager all the people who said they wanted to be engineers were also patently aggressive priviliged snobs. PAPS.

I think this is completely true.

I've met so many civil engineers who are hateful little tossers, there might (might) be something wrong with the industry in that regard. Or maybe it just attracts macho dudes.

This kind of moral judgement type of advice really doesn’t help.

Sorry if that was triggering, I'm not actually that kind of super critical person. I just thought it would be an appropriate time to slip in a joke-y phrase and I guess it didn't come across as lighthearted. I myself am very sedentary, so I don't actually hold contempt towards people for it.

That being said, the reason I threw that phrase in was because i feel the NHS (or at least, Wes Streeting) is making precisely these kinds of moral judgements when doing these decisions. And that the government is shying away from holistic improvement of our society.

On top of that, dieting triggers a hormonal process that seeks calorific foods and holds on to more of those calories. This has evolved to help us survive food shortages, but is backfiring on a population wide level now that food is no longer scarce. If dieting were the answer then Weight Watchers and Slimming World would have solved this problem decades ago. Instead they encouraged people to fall into the yo-yo diet trap that leads to ever more weight going on each time the cycle completes.

What GLP-1 inhibitors do is to shut down or quieten this hormonal response. This means that people can then do the obvious bit of eating less and moving more without their own bodies sabotaging them.

Very enlightening. This is pretty much what I wanted to know - if it's actually regarded safe and useful - because when ozempic was rolled out in the USA there was some uproar about it and I personally don't trust Trump's regime with healthcare, so seeing that the NHS was promoting ozempic gave me pause.

After seeing your reply and mannycalavera's i'm more optimistic about ozempic

Apparently red squirrels spread out more and are more competetive with one another, and also have a much more limited selection of foods. That's what i was thinking of. This is one of the reasons greys are considered so bad - they out a lot more strain on the environment compared to their red counterparts.

Every party in this country bears responsibility for the high immigration numbers

Does she not kmow how many parties there are in the country?

Was The Atomist Party, for instance, culpable for immigration getting out of control?

I'm being pedantic, however. Just think "every party sitting in westminster" would make more sense.
