So it took like 5 years to get thst sorted out did it

Why does everyone suddenly seem to regard weight loss drugs as safe? Up until RFK became health chief in the USA administration, stuff like Ozempic was a joke. Now it's actually prescribed to people other than the Kardashians

The thing is, weight loss should be about learning and easing yourself into the habits of 1. Healthy Eating 2. Adequate Exercise 3. Not sitting on your arse all day, hence I feel like giving people a hack to skip all that grind is not good - you avoid learning about how to take care of yourself in the process.

But seriously, is ozempic some sort of scientific break-through, The Substance-style?

Sounds like their fix is 'tear down some buildings to put more parks in towns' but it is also solved by introducing more trams, metro trains, and better bus services, allowing people to travel to nature spots. And also mitigating the huge lack of mobility people face in english towns.

Our reporter goes on a crawl to find out if a tart can really be worth £45

Really depends which kind of "tart" we're talking about doesn't it

There is no way the kids who grew up with technology in their lives from the start won’t find ways to work around it

This is why i support the age verificsrion already in place, and perhaps a social media ban for kids - if we prevent them from seeing porn in the first place then they may not seek it out at all. Kids should at least be educated on how dangerous it is before they have a chance to stumble upon it.

So yes, they can locate it via VPNs and such, but that isn't an argument against trying to prevent them from seeing the stuff in the first place.

Even if kids were to be completely banned from the internet and it somehow magically was enforceable, they’d just end up buying physical porn.

This doesn't really line up with the experience of me or anyone my own age. Porn is popular because it's on the screen and super easily accessible, like literally more easily accesible than food and water, lol.

But besides: physical porn is less harmful than internet porn.

  • Are we talking playboy magazines? Static images > moving videos
  • Or maybe porn videos? Well assuming such sales points even exist anymore, and aren't enforcing age rules on the products sold, I still thinm they'll end ul with stuff less violent or psychologically dangerous than they'd be seeing on the internet
  • Alao, having to buy it from the get go makes it a much easier habit to manage. Rather than an addiction.

If they actually wanted improvement, they’d fund support for parents and the educational system so kids grow up in environments that teach them good values and feel safe in.

I do not feel good about getting the government to do nanny work for parents, as it has been disastrous so far. We should aim to get parents more time with their kids - e.g via a 4day work week - and we need to emohasis the importance of actually teaching your kids stuff rather than waiting for the government to do it.

Governments can usually get away with whatever they wabt and the british government is the best example of this. I'd literally write a letter in and tell them they can get away with banning it all in one go if i thought they'd follow through on it.

But maybe there's another reason they do it in little chunks; one distraction headline becomes about 14 distracrion headlines, so lavour gov is safe to have 14 seperste scandals over the course of the next year or so

That's a good point. I personally think the racial fetishes are particularly harmful to how people perceive and treat one another.

Here is a link to the actual consultation if anyone wants to get there quickly.

image of the 3 different surveys you can do; one is for all adults, one for parents and one for youngsters.

Some really wacky ideas in there. Having completed it, it is almost like they were skewing the arguments in the "against" camp to be really really stupid sounding.

Also bungs young adults in with kids and asks you questions as if you're a 12 year old (i did the 3rd option)
