the twitter replacement narrative for nostr is more harmful than anything else.
replacement implies that people can anticipate roughly similar functionality and UX. nostr is not a product. its a very simple and occasionally dumb protocol.
for basic protocol options there is decent amount of interoperability among clients, thats why showing lots of twitter-like app experience using the same data works. but it fundamentally changes the way you interact with the world, so you should also change with it
i'm always wondering what happens after bukele? It can take generations for nations to healh and changes to stick, and a lot of it can be undone real quick
i'm not in pharma but i've done some research when it started gaining traction to see what it is
ozempic and other glp-1s tend to be a life long treatment, people who go off it regain weight, have blood sugar surges etc.
there are also negative side effects of burning off that much fat in your body that quickly and ppl are getting the ozempic face since the weight loss is so rapid. body stores toxins in fat so by burning a lot of it you will release lots of toxins in your system which means that you should be also working on getting rid of that (and you might feel like crap).
in any case its a very one sided approach that highly reminds me of the fatkins from cory doctorws Makers novel where people do gene therapy to get their bodies to burn 10000kcal/days in order to lose weight (and later on figure out there are some long term effects of this)
GLP-1 is the perfect pharma solution since you need to keep taking it forver otherwise you'll gain the weight back. Plus the side effects seem to be far from trivial, specially in fucking around with your gut
