<p>I'm amused at thinking of the other effects this can be used for, rebrand it as a tool like that copilot recall and point it with child privacy in mind for the general internet.<p>or you know, require it for internet/computer usage for a very dim futuristic outlook.</p>

<p>The biggest sign something is broken is when someone writes: "Thankfully, my mother died before the acquisition, and my father died last week, only a few months after the acquisition, so I don't have to deal with this any more."<p>Depressing to read. I'm not sure on which side.</p>

<p>This is what I’ve read on numerous accounts on Reddit and a few different discussion forums.<p>I find it interesting. Especially how people stated they still have a tendency to seek out sugar on Retatrutide.<p>On Tirzepatide, my experience has been no sugar cravings, increased weight loss and energy compared to semaglutide. Sema made me feel unwell and sometimes sleep due to what I think was hypoglycemia. It did improve my markers, but tirzepatide improved them all out of the park with generous weight loss and appetite suppression!<p>For anyone reading this, the change is night and day and I suggest consulting a doctor / running your own blood tests to see if it’s right for you. Tirzepatide works, for me and I recommend it over semaglutide and reading anecdotes online doesn’t make me want to change away from it.</p>

<p>Can you expand more on this? I’ve seen said machines too but I assumed you could use different solutions and just have a contract with sigma Aldrich to get what’s needed - what else would someone have to do to put a used sequencer to good use?</p>

<p>This corporate messaging piece really falls flat.<p>So they caught $4000 and $200. Sounds very much like sacrificial pieces.<p>“yes but see they don’t tolerate insider trading!”<p>That’s it? One from a social media post by the own person who did it, and another in a slim market and had tips come in?<p>So it basically comes down to:<p>1. Don brag about doing something, that I’m not quite sure is illegal but supposedly breaks kalshis terms of service (oh no)!<p>2. Instead of operating in a thin t̶r̶a̶d̶i̶n̶g̶, sorry, prediction market pool, stick with ones that enable more plausible deniability?<p>If anything there should be more regulation against prediction markets like Kalshi or even elimination.</p>

<p>RIP Internet. I don't agree with any of this, but I don't see the majority of people protesting this. If anything, promotion it because: Think of the children.<p>"Many social media platforms deliberately 
target minors, fueling a nationwide youth mental health crisis."<p>". These 
platforms are intentionally designed to be addictive, particularly for 
underaged users, and generate substantial profits by monetizing 
minors’ personal data through targeted advertising. These companies 
fail to adequately disclose the addictive nature of their products or 
the well-documented harms associated with excessive social media 
use. Increasing evidence demonstrates that these companies are 
aware of the adverse mental health consequences imposed on underage users, yet they 
have chosen to persist in these practices. Accordingly, many of our Offices have initiated 
investigations and filed lawsuits against Meta and TikTok for their role in harming minors. "<p>Yet, the comapnies aren't being regulated, nor the algorithims, the marketing or even the existence. It's the users that are the problem therefore everyone has to submit their Identity to use the Internet if this passes.</p>
