Easily. Everything was on the line and he went out there and took it.

If he stayed, the fans will keep asking for the old Klay.It’s weird as **** that Klay is on a team other than the Warriors.
How come nobody wants Lavine man
Okc gonna end up with Cooper and Boozer back to back . Clippers might go back to giving away free tickets this year
In this case, these drugs are being abused for cosmetic purposes, which isnt their purpose.
Drugs are relatively too new to know their long term side effects of weekly use for months/years (even though more and more info is coming out now).
When it comes to cosmetics, people will go to great lengths. Even if it hurts them in the long run or hurts others who actually need this medication for non-cosmetic reasons.
1. "abused?" how do you know it's being abused? The FDA has approved its use for weight loss, how is it abuse to use a drug for its fda approved purpose?
2. They've been doing clinical trials on this since 2008, research started in the 1980's. these drugs are relatively well studied. obviously more research is being done but i think you are exaggerating the long terms risks here a bit.
and there actually might be some health benefits beyond weight loss.

This just feels like moralizing over "cosmetic" use. Weight loss has been one of the most confounding problems of modern society.
and we've finally developed a technology that actually works. personally I hate needles and love bodybuilding, so I wouldn't risk the possible loss in muscle mass to take it.
but i think if you struggle with losing weight, and you can afford it imo you'd be a fool not consider it.
you don't get extra credit for losing weight on hard mode.
It’s more about developing good habits than intentionally “losing weight on hard mode”you don't get extra credit for losing weight on hard mode.
you won’t mose muscle and Ozempic (semaglutide) is the worst of the 3 main glp1 agonists out now. Tirzaperide (monjauro/zepbound) is a 2 pathway, retatrutide is 3 (glp/gip/glucagon). Lilly is ripping everyone off you can get all 3 for the super lowty low, they arent expensive at all to make and again to the muscle loss in studies, they took normal *** people and just gave them the glp 1 agonists and told them change nothing else about their lives. It’ll just “magically “ make you eat less, you’ll lose weight. FWIW the Average American eats 3600-4100 calories a day and still manages to under eat protein; primarily processed fats and carbs.1.

1. Its FDA approved for obesity. Specifically for obese people with an additional comorbid condition (diabetes, heart disease, etc). Not weight loss. The main indication is Type 2 Diabetes.
2. People started abusing it because one of the main side effects of this medication for people who used it prior for what its actually approved for is weight loss.
3. The first recommendation for weight loss and pretty much every heart related condition is diet/exercise. You do get extra credit for changing your diet and exercise. The benefits of diet/exercise (first line recommendation) long term far outweigh the risks of this medication.
They started pushing Zepbound (which is specifically approved for weight loss) to "fix" this issue, but once again its not available anywhere. Clearly also a pharmaceutical money grab.

osh kosh bosh this is just something you're wrong about.
-Its the long term side effects people are concerned about. Pancreatitis and gallstones are the major ones here. These people who dont need to be on this who are relatively healthy, dont need to develop pancreatitis. This is a benefit vs risk case just like everything in medicine. The risk of serious long term side effects, don't outweigh the benefit of losing 20 lbs because of a medication.
-Drugs are rarely prescribed off label. Its not a common thing in practice. Absolutely no one uses Aspirin for hypertension.
-Diet and exercise absolutely works for people.
-You dont increase supply on a medication that people are abusing. The medications cost 1k+ and insurances dont cover it without a bunch of paperwork of doctors proving the patient has a comorbidity and arent using it for specifially weight loss. Who are the ones paying for it? The models and your Ros's. Not the people who actually NEED it.
