I'm referring to the market of people who can already afford one, but choose not to because of various reasons like range, charging speed, politics, charging availability, etc. I never said the only reason they're unattractive is anything specific. But anything that helps them get in the mainstream consciousness will eventually help things like mass production, research, and market share, which will also help price and overall technology improvement speed. $5k electric cars may come in the future but nothing relating to ethanol in gas will directly cause those to appear and before that happens EVs in general need to become more accepted and more adopted.
Oh I'm explicitly not talking about tesla here. But yes, those are all good points that I agree with.
Yeah I know it will barely make a dent. But I think making them just a little tiny bit more attractive is a good thing. Speed up the adoption, cultural acceptance and general acceleration of technology ever so slightly.
I'm actually fine with sabotaging the effective range of gas cars to make EVs slightly more attractive haha
Have you read any of the other comments here? People aren't just "refusing" to change their diets. I'm not going to type my response again but see my comment here. Or maybe this comment by someone else. Or maybe this one. The point is that when 20+% of the population are afflicted with something, it's not a problem of them "refusing" to fix it themselves. It's a systemic issue.
How about you actually do some research before you make claims like that? It's a bit worse in the US, but obesity is a global problem. Any country with an obese population of 20% or more of the total population I would consider as having a serious national obesity problem. Several first world countries are at above 30%. A couple are above 40%, including the US. Even half of that is still in "crisis" territory.
Jellyfin watch status and sonarr. I do use mal but really only for looking up the list of shows airing this season and adding some that I want to watch to sonarr.
It's all in one place and directly relates to the availability on my server. Just a couple clicks and it's tracked and downloaded.
We do not (at least with an acceptable sample size), which does make it a bit of a gamble. However, for some people with severe obesity I'd wager the benefits outweigh the drawbacks, with all of the severe issues that can happen because of that level of obesity. If I had to deal with the drastically increased risk of heart disease et al or a yet to be discovered drawback, I'd go with the yet to be discovered one personally.
Right, you are correct. Now how do we get people to actually follow diets and eat less? How do we save the billions of people who are overweight? Because clearly telling them "stop being so lazy and eat less or exercise more" hasn't been working for decades.
Dieting is effective in a vacuum. Much of the time dieting isn't effective because people are too busy, uninformed, too stressed, working 2 jobs, have mental disorders, don't live near accessible sources of healthy food, have incredibly low willpower, are being lied to by food companies, lied to by their governments health systems, coerced into an unhealthy but profitable lifestyle, or all of the above.
Sure you could say "well just fix all of that and you'd be healthy" and you'd be right. But we all know that's not going to happen, especially en masse.
Semaglutide helps people in those situations avoid the consequences of obesity. Sure it may have its own downsides. But it's the easiest of many solutions, often the only one that will feasibly work for someone.
Not everyone can "pull themselves up by their bootstraps" and get healthy without help. If they could, the world wouldn't be so obese on average. You have to acknowledge this is a mostly global issue and traditional solutions would have fixed it by now if they always worked.
This article boils down to "be careful, you might get a tummy ache" and ignores the fact that glp1 is saving millions of lives from heart disease, stroke, and other obesity-related issues.

The what? I'm not familiar with any yellow ball in the sky. You mean when corn gets really tall? That shit can make so much ethanol.
