So instead of listening to survivors, she listens to a paedo?
@LostInCalifornia
Well, you know... she's on Ozempic.
@SiRrogueKnight so is Trump (or maybe he's taking Wegovy -- difference between the 2 is a half milligram.) And Elon is on that drug that killed Matthew Perry, Hegseth is an alcoholic.
List goes on.
When you have that confluence of substance abuse, it's not the substance abuse that's a problem. It's the confluence of underlying mental health conditions -- they are self medicating.
Ozempic didn't cause her condition. Her need for a bigger bank account to fill the void did.
@LostInCalifornia
I don't know enough about Megayn Kelly, and don't even care enough to know... she just looked like a skeleton all the sudden, so I disagree with your analysis, unless you got her receipts.
She certainly makes enough for Ozempic. You are just being ornery... π€£
She went skeletal at the same time as Sharon Osbourne and a few others.
@LostInCalifornia
Ozempic and a bigger bank account can both exist equally... π
@SiRrogueKnight she's a vacant talking head -- says what she needs to say to meet the political objective.
got on my bad side ages ago.
@LostInCalifornia
I was never a fan.
But thinking of the Ozempic thing... and thinking of Botox too... I wonder if you get on one or the other of these, if you gotta be lifelong.
If so with Ozempic, I wonder if they'll go bat-shit-crazy if they go off it.
My bank account is HUGE!
Pity it's nearly empty.

@SiRrogueKnight Ozempic is specifically an anti diabetes drug, and it is effective at countering insulin resistance, without side effects other than a rare but possible effect on the pancreas.
Went with your game for a second, but movie stars taking it for weight loss is a small part of their market. (And some of them need it. Tom Goodman is looking better these days.)
But no, "my analysis" is not wrong. The confluence of substance abusers and takers is a well known phenom. Originally it was called "birds of a feather flock together" but there has been a lot of post Freudian scientific research since then.
If you're interested (or in need), attend almost any 12 step program and listen in.
@AnungIkwe @LostInCalifornia
Really?
Checked.
DAMN! That's double creepy.

Jun 17, 2025What is Ozempic blindness? Find out how semaglutide (Ozempic, Wegovy) and similar GLP-1 drugs may be linked to sudden or permanent vision loss.
She was a prominent figure in the "Me too" movement when she called out network founder Roger Ailes on charges of sexual harassment.
Now she's a big old TERF who sometimes simps for Trump.
She probably still feels pressure to conform to patriarchal beauty standards for her "career." Men mess you up. Powerful men mess you up more.
@LostInCalifornia
YOU: But no, "my analysis" is not wrong.
ME: You gotta lighten up... π€£
I'm just here for laughs, to get a bit of info, and whatever.
You are ornery. But that's cool... π»
@AnungIkwe @LostInCalifornia
Powerful women mess people up too. π€£
@AnungIkwe @LostInCalifornia
Normal women mess you up too.
Bottom line, assholes regardless of gender mess you up. Liars and thieves mess you up... gender don't matter at all. They just use different methods.
@AnungIkwe @LostInCalifornia
I gotta wonder what some of those celebrities are thinking who went on it.
@SiRrogueKnight Diabetes is also lifelong.
Not all kinds of Type 2 are preventable by lifestyle changes. Women with PCOS are predisposed, and there are other genetic dispositions.
If you go off it, your blood sugar spikes, although that would be temporary. I think a blood sugar spike makes you nauseous.
(I'm prediabetic -- so been looking at it after a doctor raised the possibility. My mother was diabetic).
Botox -- outside of migraines, fuck off.
@AnungIkwe @LostInCalifornia
π€£π€£π€£π€£π€£... in diners and factories? They're not doing that at universities, where I work.
The places you're talking about are viper pits, I would suppose. Out of my pay grade.
@LostInCalifornia
"Botox -- outside of migraines, fuck off."
No... I mean about the "going blind" part. If they did not know that in advance.
@SiRrogueKnight Yes, I know.
I'm thinking in squares not circles these days. (I know what that means; you don't have to.)
My rage fest hasn't ended since the Great Elon Lies of the Palisades Fire, or the Marines Stationed By ICE To Intimidate In Westwood, and it's not likely to until things change. I am not alone either.
@LostInCalifornia
Well I sincerely wish you some peace of mind or a good turn.
@SiRrogueKnight Nothing suceeds in calming rage than material changes for the better. So far, it's looking like nothing changes until next November.
Great, it makes you skinny. What other decisions are different as a result of fiddling with brain chemistry? Could it make people less ambitious? Could it make people more accepting of bad actions by the rich and powerful? Could it make you choose more subtle decisions differently? If you take something that fundamentally changes something like that about you, are you really the same person? What if you go on to make a bunch of decisions that you would agree with on such drugs that you agree with at the time and aren't huge, but over the course of years you become someone who is alien to yourself when you're not on those drugs?

I heard it eats away at your brain mass. Maybe inaccurate... but it makes my imagination soar with blind zombie cannibal celebrities.
@sj_zero @AnungIkwe @LostInCalifornia
The concept of Botox also creeps me out. Something under your skin that you have to keep re-adding into your body like silicon or something?
Just creepy to me.
@LostInCalifornia @HiroProtagonist
Megyn is correct: there's no pedophilia involved with Epstein and it is wrong, and deliberately inflammatory, to use the wrong word. Statutory rape is bad and is a punishable crime, that's what's in play w/Epstein (in addition to probably some straight up prostitution). It's well, and funnily, explained here: https://youtu.be/nu6C2KL_S9o?si=swd8Hkn6TGhl5el7
@CaptLuke I'll grant you that Kelly is a lawyer, but for most people 15 is still a child. It might be deliberately inflammatory from a lawyer discussing a legal issue, but for the common person it is a name that describes the activity appropriately. @LostInCalifornia
@CaptLuke @HiroProtagonist No she is not correct. There is mental health damage done to children who are sexually abused, whether they are 5 or 15. That damage is lifelong, altho it can be mitigated by supportive people in their adult lives.
There is a vast trope of literature which proves your "age of consent law are wrong" memes are wrong.
I suggest you stop listening to your penis.
@HiroProtagonist @CaptLuke Also, legal definition of paedophilia is a 9 year age gap.
The men who visited Epstein's island were older than 24.
Also, legal definition of paedophilia is a 9 year age gap.
Is it really? Do you have a link to the relevant law? All I can find are references to children under thirteen (eg image).
If that is the legal status in the US, it would explain a lot about people (mis, imo) using the term about Epstein.
@HiroProtagonist
I think you're probably right about that, but I'm arguing that's part of the problem. When people don't have the right words, arguments become muddled. As Socrates said "The beginning of wisdom is the definition of terms".
While pedophilia is not in and of itself a Federal crime in the United States, if this psychiatric disorder causes a person to commit such crimes as child abuse or the acquisition of child pornography, then a pedophile may be subject to arrest and punishment by U.S. Federal authorities.
It's defined as a 9 year age gap in psychiatric lit, and that would be the guidance (until Bondi, et least). The gap is there to distinguish between relationship which might fall under "statutory rape" - an age appropriate relationship between teens -- and genuine paedo tendencies.
You have to go to the individual states for specifics.
@LostInCalifornia @HiroProtagonist @CaptLuke Iβm geoblocked from that link. Could you screenshot/quote the part about nine years?
It seems weird to tie the definition of paedophilia into the Romeo and Juliet laws, as you say theyβre two pretty different things.
@LostInCalifornia @HiroProtagonist @CaptLuke Iβm not defending child abusers. Iβm defending the correct use of language.
@Flick @HiroProtagonist @CaptLuke You are right. It has been at least 10 years since I last looked at Merck's definition.
They have tightened it. It's now a 5 year age gap. 9 years was alwsy too large. This would be the guidance.
https://archive.ph/nPLt3
Does not mention the age of consent of sheep.
@LostInCalifornia @HiroProtagonist @CaptLuke Still seems wrong to me, linguistically, to define interest in a fifteen year old as paedophilia, no matter how old one is. Hey ho, if thatβs your law over there then β as I said earlier β it does somewhat explain the sloppy language use around the Epstein case,
Sorry 40-yo Hippopotamus Karen, paedo is greek for children, not an age differential. Using arguments like "the legal definiton" on the Internet without jurisdiction and citation suggests you're sub 80 IQ and trying to win an argument.
The female pharma psycho loneliness epidemic marches on; karenophilia is just as disgusting as paedophilia.
morally, aesthetically if not legally.
So you assign opinions to me that I neither expressed nor have, then attack me personally for them. Good job at being on the internet . . .
@CaptLuke Ok. So perhaps you don't understand the nature of either the crime or the damage done. What I do know, is that people are depending on you not understanding that nature. The "slippery slope" so many people scream about.
The law allows lesser punishments for teenage relationships. Those are usually only pursued when an outraged parent or other motivated party is involved. I distinctly remember a politicized case of parents outraged that their 17 year old daughter was dating an 18 year old woman. I sided with the 18 year old in that case. If she'd been 30, I would not have.
One is statutory rape. The other is paedofilic rape, aka child sexual abuse. Statutory rape is not good, but it does not necessarily lead to lifelong damage.
