I hate the feature that tries to guess for you what you are writing. I'm worried about Otezla. I saw the SNL commercial for it. It seems to be a vacuous unstable and constantly morphing substance that changes properties when no one is looking.

When my dog died last year and I picked his ashes up from the funeral home there was a pamphlet in there about “seek out therapy after the loss of your pet”. It’s gotten out of hand and those therapist write scripts for everything.
The vast majority of therapists can't write prescriptions. Typically need to be MD/DO or MHNP. They typically do not do therapy, they assess, test, and then decide your treatment course.
Some people take the loss of pets harder than you. It helps to talk through those things with a professional. It was a recommendation, not an order.

Back when I had a sizable book of group health insurance Rx was always an issue. I never looked at the applications past the standard first page but my contact at BC did. 90*% of the females were on some form of Happy pills, 75% of men were on hbp or cholesterol pills.
Complaints from the women’s 100% of the time due to generic Happy pills weren’t as good as name brand

Tech has made people lazy.
Because they have nothing to do with their time they focus on pointless matters.

I’d need a detailed explanation as to why I couldn’t wear my Apple Watch to a wedding.
It’s a request from the bride and groom, if you need your device on you at all times, just don’t go to the wedding

People can, and should, be intentional about the type of gathering they want. People then have the right to self select not to go.
Exactly this. If the bride and groom want a tech free wedding, that’s their prerogative. If you are so addicted to your tech that you have to have it on you 24/7, then you can choose not to go.

And it's not that. People think they're so important and video fricking everything and when you get your pictures back they're all obscured by people everywhere holding out their phones acting like they're Spielberg.
That’d make sense in asking for no phones out during the ceremony. Apple Watches can’t record on their own (they be used as a remote for the iPhone I think).

Like when did this shite become so normalized?
Around the time "like" meant more than "a preference toward" and people began starting sentences with it for no apparent reason.

It's not the medication, it's underneath that. Helicopter and bulldozer parents thought teaching kids to self soothe is throwing a device (TV/iPad/fidget spinners) at them. When you have no internal ability to control your emotions and mind, you look for external ways to do it.
Anxious women create anxious kids, which creates drug addled adults.

We haven’t. We have just enabled tools which give the dumbest of us the loudest microphone.

A fair percent of my generation has been on prescription ADD medication since the early 90s. Once they’re in the prescription mixer, there is only more to come. Their blood pressure gets screwed up. Then their dick stops working. Then they get depressed. Then they gain weight. So they are on their ADD meds, blood pressure meds, erection meds, anti depressants, and the fat shot. We will soon find out what cascading effect the fat shot has.

Two working parents who don’t have time or focused attention on family when with family over-compensating (helicopter and bulldozer parents, as you say)…thinking they are making up for the gap actually creating bigger issues.
Ask ‘why’ 4-5 times to get to root issue. I think it all creates abnormal fear that is driving much of this.
Negative emotions ain’t good. That simple.
Parenting and being present (like really present…not on phones, thinking about work, thinking about texting, reading gossip, etc). The problem.

When most everyone became pussies, got fat and out of shape and want to be fixed NOW with no effort. Blame doctors, blame healthcare industry and big pharma. But that shite is on the people. I'm amazed every day with the shite people will come in for with out trying anything otc or even riding it out for a few days. Some parents have their kid there damn near every day for every imaginable "ailment", twitch, fart, grunt etc. The old folks with their Medicare if they don't have a co-pay or deductible, they just make up shite for social visits or ain't got shite else to do but sit around and obsess about every little ache, pain, turd consistency, or whatever the hell else crosses their mind or they saw on the news.

Really? Cause they've been out for twenty one years. Ozempic goes off patent next year. That, plus 10-20 years of research and trials has given us 30-40 years of data. Now people abusing them? Different story. F#$king water will kill you if you drink to much. You worried about it's long term side effects?
Don't see any mf'ers worrying about their dick pills, "peptides" or other bullshite they pump in their systems. I'm certainly not saying they are harmless, but they a far from new. Educate yourself.
