What's currently the most cost-effective and practical method of getting ahold of Ozempic/whatever weight-loss drug in the US without a diabetes diagnosis?
You should learn how to buy the freeze-dried peptides directly from gray market sources and constitute them yourself in vials with bacteriostatic water and use an insulin syringe to inject it. There are Telegram groups where people get together and test the gray market sources, usually organized by the gray market source itself.
Most cost-effective: this comes to about $60/month if you buy a one year supply of the drug and related materials.
Most practical: I consider it so, because I can just get everything delivered and don't need a prescription, though it takes a bit of research.
If you don't have a diabetes diagnosis but can convince your doctor to write you a prescription for it anyway, you can expect to pay about $350-500/month by buying it from Eli Lily direct. You still have to fill and inject yourself with syringes though.

I was informed, with mock-seriousness, that confusing a denizen of Colorado with a Texan was a Capital Crime.
Accurate. Texas has annexed large amounts of Colorado, and many locals are less than pleased. In part, it goes back to this observation:
Our taxi driver continued complaining that the tourists who appear to be Dover’s primary fuel source were a nuisance who clogged the roads. This seems to be a common paradox in tourist economies.
However, many of the Texans have moved from the category of "tourist" to "occupying force," hence the less-than-fond attitude by many Coloradans towards Texans.

Google shows you it's location tracking in Google maps timeline.
Apps that respond to voice commands Hey Alexa, OK Google etc. Must record all sounds to parse the command sound. That doesn't mean they archive it all but it's all getting recorded and processed. They certainly have all your phone call metadata (who you called and for how long). Your browser has site history which is generally sold widely.
I would operate under the expectation that all of those but phone transcripts to be available to anyone who wants to buy them.

Thankfully the pedo rings don't in fact exist. Hopefully Rightists will grow more comfortable in saying so. Epstein conspiracism is not only wrong on the facts, it's a pointless political dead-end.
I don't think you can conclude this.
It's a pointless political dead-end because it can't ever be adjudicated. At best you can say the epistemic commons are so poisoned on the issue that Epstein Files is now 9/11 Conspiracy is now JFK Conspiracy. No majority will believe any explanation, no matter how bipartisan the committee and how much evidence gets dumped.

Have any other middle-aged dudes grown out their hair? How did you keep from going insane?
I'm over a year into growing it out and it's long enough to pull into a ponytail. However, I don't want traction alopecia, so it can't be in a ponytail all the time, and it drives me crazy when it's loose and I can feel the weight against my neck (I have very coarse hair that is also very thick [such a burden for a man in his 40s, I know]). Taking care of it is one thing, but always feeling it is another. Perhaps I have too much 'tism for long hair.

but in the end parents still want their kids to be successful,
Be afraid of this. Be very afraid. Immoral Mazes reward psychopathy - mean chickens. Selecting for expected income would literally be one of the most destructive rubrics possible; at least if 5% of the new generation had penis noses it'd mostly just suck for that 5% rather than dragging everyone else down with them the way that 5% being genius psychopaths would.

The Skin by Malaparte. Not as good as Kaputt so far, but it has been worth it if only for the chapter about how the young male survivors of WW2 became communists because they were homosexuals and wanted political justification for their pederasty.

One of EA's main tenets is that the traditional hyperfocus on overhead costs of charities is unhelpful as a measure of actual efficacy. If you want smart, driven people to do good work in allocating resources, paying them something like market rate is advisable. Otherwise, you're selecting on something other than merely talent for the job.
Yes, but the problem is that if you are giving them good salaries, you are selecting for the ability to tell good stories to donors in exchange for money. There's a reason why charities have tended to be suspicious of such structures: they have no in-built market correction so they're easy to turn into guilt-tripping sinecures. (GiveWell is fine but it's like a regulatory body and is straightforwardly capturable, so doesn't count.) That's why charities have traditionally relied a combination of:
- scions of wealth
- wives of wealthy men
- men who've made their money and want to give back to the community (or, cynically, to barter wealth for influence)
None of whom need the money. Of course, this still biases charities towards sounding good rather than doing good, but that's really really hard to avoid.
What's the source of sympathy over casting couch situations? It's gross and worthy of judgment, but against both participants. The only people getting screwed are 1) the investors in the project, as the caster is misusing their authority to choose a (presumably inferior) casting option instead of fulfilling their responsibilities; and 2) the superior casting option who gets passed over. Just a particularly sleazy form of graft.
The young women choosing to do this might have economic struggles, but those aren't unique to them; whatever empathy they deserve for that should also be extended to all the women (and men!) who have the same economic struggles but don't choose the couch.

A couple examples just to give you a sense of some of the gymnastics that are required.
I don't consider this gymnastics. It's like saying that freedom of the press applies to television. The founders didn't have television and the Constitution doesn't say anything about television. But you can guess that if someone had magically told them about television, they, or at least a substantial portion of them, would have said that television counts. So you read "press" as including television. Likewise, you should read "army" or "navy" as including the Air Force.
It's true that the Air Force can do things that the army and navy don't, but it's also true that television can do things that printed newspapers can't. That's not really a reason to say that television doesn't have freedom of the press. Also, the exact terminology is irrelevant; if we had by happenstance of language called the Air Force the Flying Navy, that wouldn't change anything.
(Notice that "if they had heard of it, would they count it?" is not the same as "they hadn't heard of it".)

Is there anything interesting going on artistically lately?
Aside from the obvious, that digital artists are getting supplanted by cheap, fast AI images?
I tried searching a bit, and asking ChatGPT, and mostly people seem to be saying that there are a bunch of different things going on, many of which are identity based and fairly boring as far as I'm concerned. The last large movement I liked was probably Impressionism; Art Deco is also pretty good.
People around here mostly paint the hills and skies, which I think is just kind of a default, I don't know if I'd call it a movement. I guess recently I like the atmospheric, somewhat out of focus landscape artists, like Gareth Edwards or Paula Dunn.

Blank slatism for adults isn't extreme, as it isn't limited to EA, nor limited to progressives. It's a part of mainstream Western white culture, e.g., magic dirty theory. Or see for a specific example, a white woman forgiving her mother and cousin's murderer (who's of the demographic one might expect), hiring him to work on her property, only to get murdered by him herself.

How much detail do you think is in the data that governments and tech companies are keeping about us?
-
Are they keeping a log of every website you visit?
-
Are they keeping a log of your phone's 24/7 location data?
-
Are they keeping transcripts of all of your phone calls?
-
Are they keeping transcripts of every word you say in the vicinity of a smart device?
-
etc.?
It's not pedophilia, but we should still call them pedos anyway. However, there's only so far you can push this socially useful equivocation before it starts backfiring.

Another thing to consider here, is that within the past 20 years, the Catholic Church did suffer tremendous fallout for this thing.
It suffered massive losses in cultural influence, credibility, financial payouts, and legal win against it.
There’s two points here: one is that to the average person, this is a massive point in the “it could happen” column. Justice can be seen at least to a degree that isnt zero.
Second, all the excuses AT is making about technicality of ‘pedo ring’ applied here as well, but didn’t matter to the public perception. was widely regarded and reported as a pedo scandal, when it was mostly gay pederasty. The same mainstream taking down the Church downplayed this, not to justify them, but to avoid crossfire against homosexuality as well as get maximal outrage.
So again, ATs cutsie sneering at MAGAs that “this isn’t how it works” is completely at odds with how it actually did work and recently.

Black Magic Sanction (The Hollows Book 8) by Kim Harrison.
You've clearly never been there.
Confidently asserted, yet wrong. I indeed have been there. While I didn't spend any time with single mothers, prostitutes, or single-mother prostitutes—I did bang a high single digit number of non-single mother, non-prostitute Pinays. And none of them asked me for money (whether directly or indirectly) nor was there any sort of weird drama afterward.
Not that it requires having been to the Philippines nor having any experience with Pinays to spot the red flags described in your thread-starting post. Nor is the theme of women-playing-men-for-money specific to the Philippines, or SEA, or even specific to foreign women with Western men. Women using their sexuality to get resources out of men transcends time and space. It doesn't take a chef to suspect if something smells like shit.
And you misinterpreted a lot of what I said. so whatever. thanks for trying I guess.
I thought the sentence right after the one you quoted made it obvious I was joking, if the sentence itself and the one preceding it weren't already obvious enough: "After all, what kind of sick fuck prays?" Wild speculation, I know, but might stubbornly overlooking cues perhaps be a recurring tendency of yours?
You could consider mustering up a fraction of the disagreeability toward her as you've displayed in this thread toward people replying to you.

Also, is it worth messing with oral delivery, or are they flat-out less effective than the injection method?

The slave owner doesn't provide zero value, they do serve similar to a factory owner in that they're the peak of management.
Which is a great deal larger than zero.
But unlike modern capitalism where people tend to get in that management position because of talent and skill at management, slavery tends to happen because of skill at other things.
Getting to the top of a hierarchy requires the same basic skills regardless of what the hierarchy is. A cynic would say "backstabbing and douchebaggery", though admittedly it's not ONLY that.
No one is talking about the Rothschilds and the Carnegies, we're talking about Bezos and Musk.
Don't the Rothschilds still run The Economist? If nobody's talking about them (aside from the DR, occasionally), it's because they don't want to be talked about.
But all of this is besides the point, which is that until very recently there weren't any successful non-slaveowning societies. Which very strongly suggests that slavery was an advantage.
It frustrates me that whenever his name is mentioned, I picture Douglas Urbanski.
