Before being an appetite suppressant, it is a medication for diabetes.

The problem is not the margin Novo Nordisk makes on an appetite suppressant, contrary to what the headline says.

The twofold problem is the margin on a diabetes drug, which weighs heavily on patients and health insurers around the world. And the potential supply problems for diabetics, when a vital drug is sold as a miracle weight-loss remedy.

I think it's a more global movement.

When I was recruited at my university in the early 2000s, every teacher had an ftp-accessible space with an http address like myuni.edu/~myname. The more techie ones did html, the fancier ones even added css. Muggles would export html from a Word document.

Then one day, the IT department decided to replace this with a "learning management system". A wysiwyg platform with dozens of modules for videoconferencing courses, homework submission, online exams, and so forth.

Except that the user (the teacher) no longer has control over his or her personal space.

This news must be read in the French political context, where far-right ideas are corrupting the minds and islamophobia is the legal face of racism.

It's also a way for the government to divide the left, accusing it to promote islamist terrorism (which is obviously a fake).

This is a loophole that the Minister of the Interior has been discovering and exploiting for months: he does something whose legality is highly questionable (like banning a demonstration), and by the time his decision is legally challenged and overturned, he's got what he wanted and there are no legal consequences for him.

Unions don't work the same way in all european countries.

In France, the union I belong to is organized by local company and public service, with a spawling system of dual cascading federations by geographic sector and economic sector.

And there are several competing national union organizations which overlap. I don't know exactly how the other ones are organized

Who cares about your career? How could it be a justification for anything?

There is no universal "line". Every family has its own implicit rules about clothing and nudity, which vary from situation to situation.

If she doesn't question the rules acquired on her mother's side (your SO doesn't seem to be worried by her clothes), it's because she sees you as an adult in the family, i.e. someone she trusts and who won't sexualize her.

If you feel uncomfortable, I think you should work on that on your side. I think these days, it must be precious for a young adult to have a safe place, where she can dress without being judged or sexualized. You shouldn't risk taking that away from her.

Not only that. It's also a means of long-term tax evasion, by storing works of art in a freeport.

I have a question about the pronouns in profiles. I hope it won't be perceived as transphobic, that's not my intention. I'm not a native English speaker, so perhaps that's where my misunderstanding (and possibly awkward turn of phrases) comes from.

Why specify the object pronoun when the subject pronoun is given?

For example, why display [she/her], and not just [she]?

Shouldn't the slash be reserved for people who recognize themselves in more than one gender, like [she/they]?

I don't understand. Is this supposed to be an incentive to turn on watch history?

It's not a question of age, but of culture. Video game are no longer niche stuff for a handful of nerds. It's a huge industry, like music or cinema.

People who say that games are childish are just trying to hide their ignorance.
