The blockbuster weight loss drug sold as Ozempic and Wegovy [has, on 21 March, gone] generic in countries that are home to 40 percent of the world’s population, significantly lowering the price of a costly medicine that had been largely unaffordable to nearly all but the wealthiest people. On Saturday, Novo Nordisk, the company that until now has had a monopoly on selling the drug, will lose patent protection in several of the world’s most populous countries. The first generic versions are expected to arrive in India as soon as this weekend. In the coming months, the generics are also expected to become available in China, Canada, Brazil, Turkey and South Africa.
I’d question your mental health.
you do realize he mentions ADHD? i’m sure you don’t mean to but your comment implies the mentally ill can just pull themselves up by their bootstraps
Then treat it.
I am more than familiar with people like him. I have had relationships with people who made endless excuses, and refused to manage their conditions, and then of course, told me it was my fault. As if I was supposed to magically cure them of all their mental and physical issues… that they actively embraced and enhanced by poor habits and recreational drug use.
When it comes to mental and physical health, yes you do have to pull yourself up. Nobody can do it for you. Nobody can fix my health problems for me. It’s my responsibility to manage them. Or I suppose I could just give up, and be a twat about it and incessantly whine to whomever will listen to my self-imposed misery. And go around taking random internet comments as personal attacks on myself… lol
don’t worry nobody here is taking anything as a personal attack, you just repeat ableist rhetoric that is used to attack anyone with a handicap and i want to make that clear for anybody else reading it
be more of a .ml user. are you a tankie too? you think Chinese communism is going to magically improve your personal problems too?
everything I want to say to you will be removed
exactly. if that’s your impulse… you probably need some better mental health habits and emotional regulation.
I have my own health problems. I am not here blasting other people about them and how horrible and unfair my life is because of them… why is that you think?
because you don’t care for other people but will whine about other people not caring enough to lose weight
nobody is here “blasting” you they are speaking from their own experience with weight loss and all you had to say was to question their mental health
yeah i lack emotional regulation, like that’s a thing for me and people with my condition, at least i know my faults
I don’t care for random internet strangers and people in the vague abstract mass of humanity, yeah. It’s fucking weird that anyone thinks that is legitimate caring. It isn’t. It’s just a proxy for grand standing and ego-stroking.
I don’t care about their experience. It has no impact on what is a massive public health issue. The world is not about them and their individual experiences. And their inability to see usually means they are a egotistical nutjob who thinks everything is about themselves and their personal feelings… which actually is the type of people who give a shit about nobody but themselves.
Randomly going into vivid detail abut all your personal problems to vent at some stranger you feel has aggrieved you in a public space is insane and hostile behavior. I’m sure if I randomly went up to you and started screaming at you about my personal health issues, you’d find that very offputting and offensive and you’d wonder if I was off my meds.
or, perhaps, they wanted to show you a different perspective you do not know without aggression
I’ve met tons of whiny people my entire life who write essays about their problems. I don’t need to hear from more of them. I understand lemmy is full to the brim with them though, who have delusions of grandeur because they PC game with linux or something, and yet they can seem to struggle with basic adult tasks. weird how that works.
