The actual study in question: https://doi.org/10.7326/ANNALS-25-05287- National Prevalence of Clinical Obesity by BMI Class: A National Cross-Sectional Study - Paywall. Direct full paper link : www.mediafire com/file/u1fckknys855438/elhence-et-al-2026-national-prevalence-of-clinical-obesity-by-bmi-class-a-national-cross-sectional-study.pdf/file So they basically added metabolic impairment and visceral fat to the definition of obesity. That is going to confuse alot of people. I really don’t see the benefit of putting all the metabolic problems under the label of obesity other then attention grabbing. It would be much more helpful to classify these as symptoms of hyperinsulinemia… the real problem. Fat people have ‘excess adiposity’ and people with broken metabolisms have ‘clinical obesity’…

It was then that the cupbearer of Ezina’s wine-house, Sargon, lay down not to sleep, but lay down to dream. In the dream, holy Inana drowned Ur-Zababa in a river of blood. The sleeping Sargon groaned and gnawed the ground. When King Ur-Zababa heard about this groaning, he was brought into the king’s holy presence, Sargon was brought into the presence of Ur-Zababa (who said:) “Cupbearer, was a dream revealed to you in the night?” Sargon answered his king: “My king, this is my dream, which I will tell you about: There was a young woman who was as high as the heavens and as broad as the earth. She was firmly set as the base of a wall. For me, she drowned you in a great river, a river of blood.”

I am concerned you revealed too much about yourself in one go like your age, location, where you go to school, hometown, even specifics about your parents. I do caution having better OPSEC on the internet in general. Lemmy is also very leftist, as in left to your democrats, you’ll find anarchists/communists/socialists here so you might want to understand these theories before diving into political discussions. There’s also not many (if any) who like corporate LLM here. Anyway, good luck here.

Congresswoman Summer Lee renewed her call to abolish US Immigration and Customs Enforcement on Friday after the Allegheny County Office of the Medical Examiner ruled the death of Daphy Michel, a Haitian immigrant who died after being released from ICE custody, a homicide. “Michel died on March 2, four days after departing the Washington County Correctional Facility, where she spent six months awaiting a preliminary hearing on misdemeanor charges of terroristic threats and harassment, which were ultimately dismissed,” Pittsburgh’s Public Source reported in April. “She was turned over to Immigration and Customs Enforcement, which fitted her with an ankle bracelet and released her under the agency’s Alternatives to Detention Program.” The 31-year-old Charleroi resident then “spent around 24 hours across the last two days of her life in sub-freezing weather in a bus shelter on the South Shore,” according to the the outlet, which cited visual records released by Pittsburgh Regional Transit. The medical examiner’s office said in a Friday statement that she died of hypothermia, and “the opinion of the forensic pathologist in this case is that Ms. Michel was a vulnerable adult, suffering from untreated severe mental health issues, and a significant language barrier when she was released from federal custody.” “Based on all available information during the investigation, the pathologist ruled Ms. Michel’s death a homicide,” the office said. The finding means “the death was caused by the actions of another individual,” but is “not to be interpreted as a declaration of criminal guilt.” Emma Federkeil, a spokesperson for Allegheny County District Attorney Stephen A. Zappala Jr., told the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette that the office hasn’t yet seen a copy of the report and opinion. “As such,” she Federkeil, “we must obtain a copy of the official report and opinion and any and all records relied on by the report, in order to determine the basis for the finding of homicide as the manner of death which requires a finding the death occurred ‘at the hand of another.’” “As we gather the necessary investigation documentation and reports,” she added, “we cannot comment further.” ICE is part of the US Department of Homeland Security. In response to the newspaper’s request for comment, DHS acting Assistant Secretary Lauren Bis reiterated the text of a March statement and added that “all illegal aliens who are processed have access to phones to call family, friends, and attorneys.” Regardless of any criminal charges, Joseph Murphy, an attorney who has represented Michel’s family since her death, told Public Source that he expects a civil lawsuit in the weeks ahead. Lee (D-Pa.), who has joined other progressives in calling for an end to ICE throughout President Donald Trump’s deadly crackdowns on immigrants across the United States, stressed in a Friday statement that “Daphy Michel was a human being. She happened to be born on the other side of a border, but she was no less worthy of care, safety, and dignity. That should not have been a death sentence. Daphy’s death was preventable and is the result of a violent system that cages people, surveils them, abandons them, dehumanizes them in life, and smears them in death to escape accountability.” “She deserved care, shelter, language access, and medical support. ICE and every agency that failed her must answer for this,” Lee continued. “And now, as more people die in and around ICE custody, their answer is not transparency, accountability, or care, but to stop reporting the deaths of recently released detainees altogether. We may never know how many more stories like Daphy’s have been hidden by a system built to disappear people. Rather than pour billions more into the agency that murdered her, we must abolish ICE and build systems rooted in equity and basic human dignity.” Daphy Michel was a human being who happened to be born on the other side of a border. That did not mean she was any less worthy of care, safety, and dignity. Her death was preventable. We must abolish ICE.www.publicsource.org/haitian-immi… [image or embed] — Rep. Summer Lee (@repsummerlee.bsky.social) June 12, 2026 at 5:49 PM As Trump has pursued his mass deportation agenda since returning to office last year, at least dozens of people have died in ICE custody or shortly after being released. Earlier this month, ICE announced that it was rescinding a 2021 Biden administration policy requiring a report to Congress and an investigation any time a detainee died within 30 days of their release. Following that announcement, the Republican-controlled Congress sent a bill with nearly $70 billion in new DHS funding to Trump’s desk. The legislation, which the president signed on Wednesday, includes $38 billion for ICE and $26 billion for US Customs and Border Protection (CBP). “House Republicans handed ICE and CBP billions more while families struggle to afford rent, groceries, childcare, and healthcare,” Lee said on social media after the chamber’s vote. “Congress shouldn’t be writing blank checks for cruelty while everyday people are being crushed by rising costs.” From Common Dreams via This RSS Feed.

After threatening on Thursday, June 11, to launch more destructive strikes against Iran, seize Kharg Island, and confiscate Iranian oil, Donald Trump once again suspended his colonial ultimatum that evening, before announcing that a memorandum was on the verge of being approved by Iran. According to Axios, clauses include the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz without tolls, sanctions relief, and a 60-day ceasefire on all fronts, paving the way for a new round of nuclear negotiations. According to the Iranian media outlet Mehr, it also includes the withdrawal of U.S. forces from Iran’s immediate periphery, the lifting of the blockade, the unfreezing of certain assets, and the end of all sanctions against its oil and petrochemical exports. While Trump announced that the agreement would likely be signed in Europe in the coming days, Iranian leaders have yet to confirm his statements. Regardless of the outcome of the negotiations, the terms of the memorandum represent a diplomatic manifestation of the United States’ strategic failure in Iran: a return to the pre-war status quo, which began on February 28, would be accompanied by the lifting of some of the sanctions that have crippled the country for 47 years. In recent weeks, the neoconservative camp has railed against such an agreement, which could grant Iran new room for maneuver in the region, particularly at the expense of Israel. Trump’s announcement comes after a week of high tension. The anxiety of U.S. imperialism is palpable, and several narratives are beginning to emerge regarding the negotiations. For Hassan Ahmadian, a professor at the University of Tehran: The initial Iranian terms — previously agreed upon in principle — had left Trump no room to claim a clear victory. So, after that preliminary agreement, he backtracked, sending his own amendments back to Tehran through mediators. But Iran did not respond. Instead, it left him in a state of wait-and-see for days, while signaling its readiness to resume the war — by striking Israel first and the ‘incident’ in Hormuz second….In response, Trump attempted military pressure…Yet Iran answered on both nights of escalation…At that point, he seems to have lost any hope of forcing Tehran into acceptance. The announcement of an agreement actually constitutes the announcement of a retreat — a return to what had already been agreed upon previously. For other analysts, Trump’s maneuvers were less about securing more favorable terms than about creating the illusion of a U.S victory over the regime, achieved through a new series of strikes, thus offering Trump a way out of his strategic impasse. This, at any rate, was the line of communication adopted by the White House throughout yesterday evening after the suspension of Trump’s latest ultimatum: speaking to reporters, Trump declared it a “very solid memorandum” and that there had “really been regime change,” with the new Iranian leaders, in his view, being more “reasonable.” This rhetorical posturing comes at a time when the United States has failed to achieve any of its strategic objectives, and this agreement acknowledges Iran’s new position of strength. Symptomatically, the tone of the Israeli statement reveals Israel’s unease with the text: Although Israel is not a party to the memorandum of understanding, the Prime Minister expressed his appreciation for President Trump’s commitment that the final agreement resulting from the negotiations will include the removal of enriched nuclear material, the dismantling of enrichment infrastructure, limits on missile production, and an end to Iran’s support for its terrorist proxies in the region. Using a certain degree of doublespeak, the statement reaffirms Israel’s maximalist demands, which are not contained in the text. It simultaneously distances itself from the text without directly confronting Trump. Indeed, an agreement with Iran would represent a slap in the face for Netanyahu, especially as Iran attempts to impose a new “strategic equation” and no longer hesitates to interpose itself between Israel and Lebanon, which has been under attack. While it remains to be seen how long the Iranian bourgeoisie will follow this line, it is a clear sign that Israel’s room for maneuver is now more limited, particularly in Lebanon, where Israel has failed to achieve its strategic objectives despite the extreme violence of its genocidal methods. Meanwhile, the relationship between the United States and Israel continues to deteriorate. While Netanyahu has jeopardized the negotiations by crossing the red line established by Washington and Tehran and bombing Beirut last Sunday, Trump merely called for calm after the Iranian response. On Wednesday, J.D. Vance spoke about the relationship between the United States and Israel, noting that “sometimes we have interests that are perfectly aligned and sometimes we have interests that are misaligned.” Netanyahu “aggressively asserts the interests of his country. Sometimes that means we’re on the same page, and sometimes we’re not,” Vance explained. The situation remains open in any case, as Iranian negotiators have not responded to Trump’s announcements, and Tehran might be tempted to wait even longer in order to gain more, as Hamidreza Azizi points out: Apart from the horizontal structure of decision-making in the Islamic Republic post-Ali Khamenei, which requires time for consensus-building, another consideration is how to frame any agreement in a way that would be acceptable to the hardline constituency. On the other hand, Trump himself, faced with the contradictions revealed by the U.S. failure, already seems to want to revisit certain points of the agreement, accusing Iran of having published terms different from his own. In a message on Truth Social this Friday, Trump indicated that “the terms that Iran leaked… have absolutely NOTHING to do with the terms that were agreed to, in writing.…What they said, including their weak and pathetic statement on having a deal, bears no relation to the truth. They are a very dishonorable people to deal with.” A potential last-minute reversal, in an attempt to find another way out that would allow him to conceal his failure, is therefore not impossible, given that Trump has no viable option for ending the war. And even if the agreement were signed, this new round of 60-day negotiations on Iran’s nuclear program — which excludes the missile issue and support for Tehran’s various allies in the region, which Trump had placed at the heart of his war aims — demonstrates both the retreat of the United States and the possibility that it could end like the previous rounds: that is, with a resumption of hostilities. While Washington seems to have resigned itself to backing down on some demands in the face of the war’s strategic failure, there’s no guarantee that Israel won’t try to disrupt these high-stakes negotiations to avoid a major setback. Already, Israel launched airstrikes against the Palestinian people in Gaza on Thursday night, threatening to reignite a high-intensity genocidal war, seemingly to avenge its defeat against Iran and Lebanon. In any case, while the effects of the U.S. defeat are already being felt and Washington is trying to restore its credibility by threatening to invade Cuba and increasing pressure on Bolivia, where the pro-Trump government of Rodrigo Paz is facing a powerful workers’ and popular rebellion, there is more urgency than ever to build a mass anti-imperialist movement that calls for the defeat of the United States and Israel in Iran and throughout the region, completely independent from the Iranian regime and the leaderships allied with it, and that fights for the end of the genocide of the Palestinian people.

The far-right government of Daniel Noboa is facing a serious challenge to its image of an administration that is tough on crime and effective in securing the safety of the Ecuadorian people. The government has attempted to promote the idea that those killed belong to criminal gangs, suggesting that there is a sort of “bubble of violence” within which most crimes occur. However, the recent deaths of an activist, a student, and a high-ranking official at an Ecuadorian university have shaken public opinion to such an extent that many former defenders of the government’s thesis regarding the limited nature of the issue are now feeling overwhelmed by violence that, on the contrary, is spiraling out of control. In fact, 2025 was the most violent year in Ecuador in recent history. 9,216 people were killed in violent deaths, an increase of 32% from the previous year. 10 years prior, the number of violent deaths was 1,050. Meaning that from 2015 to 2025, the number of homicides in what once was considered the safest country in Latin America, increased by 777.7%. Meanwhile, Daniel Noboa’s government has continually insisted that the only solution for combatting the spiking levels of violence is to militarize the country through “Plan Fénix” launched in 2023, maintain the declaration of internal armed conflict and a state of emergency, and engage in joint military operations with the United States, against the expressed will of the Ecuadorian people. These strategies have appeared to be ineffective in stopping the violence and have, unsurprisingly, contributed to its growth. The tragic and mysterious death of Mónika Silva A few days ago, authorities reported that anti-corruption activist Mónika Silva Koniuszek was found dead in her home in the province of Santa Elena. The Prosecutor’s Office has requested international cooperation to solve a case that has shed light on the silencing of those who denounce acts of corruption and drug trafficking in the country. Most concerning is that days before her death, Silva had spoken about death threats against her and stated that her life was in danger. Several human rights organizations, such as the Ecumenical Commission, argued that the state bears responsibility for her death due to its inaction and passivity in response to reports regarding her safety. Despite this, Interior Minister John Reimberg issued statements a few hours after the murder claiming that the activist’s death could be a suspected suicide, which provoked anger and rejection from Silva’s loved ones and civil society in general. Many questioned why Reimberg rushed to make these statements when a thorough investigation of the case had not yet been conducted. A few days later, the Minister of the Interior himself appeared to backtrack on his initial statements when he called for the investigations to be conducted with the greatest possible “speed, thoroughness, and transparency … so that the facts may be fully clarified.” Following the death of Silva, who was Polish by birth, the European Union issued a formal public call for the government to ensure a transparent investigation in accordance with international protocols. Silva had dedicated the last years of her life to leading the La Integridad Foundation, which is committed to promoting transparency, social oversight, and citizen participation. The organization had become prominent in the public debate for exposing cases of corruption, land ownership disputes, administrative irregularities, and environmental issues. As a result, authorities and several journalists continue to investigate who is behind Silva’s death, and whether it was some form of retaliation for her work exposing powerful groups that control corruption networks in the country (and whose ties to various institutions remain unclear). The disappearance and death of Nathaly Mafla For several days, the media and social media were flooded with images of Nathaly Mafla, a 20-year-old systems engineering student who disappeared in Quito. Her family and friends led a media campaign that reached millions of people, wondering where the young woman – who had come to the capital from Tulcán to study – had gone. Several videos were shown on major television channels showing Mafla wandering disoriented through the streets of Quito. A few hours later, after several days of searching, it was confirmed that a body found in a ravine near her university was that of Nathaly. Students and faculty at the university where she was studying, the National Polytechnic School, were shocked by the tragic news of her death. Furthermore, they and her family members reported that she was a responsible and dedicated student, with no ties to any criminal organization. Her mother said on social media: “My dearest daughter: I never thought you would leave me so soon.” The brutal death of Santiago Ávalos A few hours ago, several passersby posted images on social media showing a car riddled with bullet holes. Authorities later reported that the body of Santiago Ávalos, the financial manager of the University of the Americas (UDLA), a private university in Quito, was found inside the car. According to the police report, Ávalos told his wife over the phone that a motorcycle was following him. Shortly afterward, the motorcyclist allegedly fired at least six shots at Ávalos’s car, causing him to lose control of the vehicle and crash into a pole, where he died at the scene of the attack. For its part, the UDLA said in an official statement: “His absence leaves a profound void among those of us who shared our daily work with him, but also the legacy of integrity, generosity, and dedication that set him apart.” Growing unease in society The notion that violence in Ecuador is limited to criminal gangs and certain socioeconomic sectors appears to be fading in light of these and other similar incidents. Furthermore, in recent months there has been a concerning rise in criminal activity in the capital Quito, that had previously been concentrated mainly in cities along the Ecuadorian coast, such as Guayaquil, Manta, Portoviejo, and Machala. Despite this, President Noboa insists that his security plan is on the right track and yielding clear results. In this regard, he has made the United States his primary partner in tackling the crime that has made 2025 the most violent year in the country’s history. Indeed, Noboa announced that he will travel to the United States again to meet at the White House with Stephen Miller, Deputy Chief of Staff for Policy and National Security Advisor to the Trump administration. Noboa is the president who has traveled abroad the most while in office, and the United States (his country of birth) is his favorite destination, where he has traveled more than 14 times – a remarkable record. However, while Noboa travels to the United States in the midst of the World Cup, fear and insecurity are growing among the Ecuadorian population. The government has promised on several occasions that it will succeed in overcoming the violence in the country, but little by little, these promises seem to be fading in the face of a reality that terrifies citizens who are unsure whether they will make it home safe and sound.

Microsoft’s Xbox division is reportedly planning layoffs as new Xbox CEO Asha Sharma plans a “reset” for the beleaguered gaming business. Bloomberg, citing anonymous sources, first reported Wednesday that Xbox was planning “major job cuts” within the division in early July after Microsoft’s fiscal year ends on June 30. The same day, Sharma and Xbox Chief Content Officer Matt Booty said in a memo to employees that after their first 100 days on the job reviving Xbox, the next 100 days would be devoted to a major overhaul — or a reset, to borrow gaming parlance. After touting the recent successes of Xbox — Microsoft has been hard at work to reverse the decline in subscribers to its Game Pass service — Sharma and Booty laid out the realities the gaming business needs to navigate. Microsoft has poured billions of dollars into its gaming division over the past five years, even excluding the $69 billion purchase of Activision Blizzard. The memo said investments in Xbox have surpassed $20 billion since 2021. At the same time, the division’s annual revenue has declined by nearly $500 million. “Going forward, this cannot continue,” the memo said. Amid the artificial intelligence boom, which has helped boost Microsoft’s cloud computing sales, Xbox is facing a hardware component crisis. The cost of storage components for gaming hardware has quadrupled since last fall and Microsoft expects another significant increase heading into 2026 holiday shopping season. As AI demand increases, companies have been spending more on specialized hardware. That coupled with AI’s extraordinary need for memory is leading to higher costs. For consumers that means demand is outpacing supply for Xbox consoles. Because of this, Xbox needs a new business model for its next-generation console, code-named Helix, according to the memo. “Our current platform infrastructure is not built for the battle ahead. … We’ve become too reliant on vendors to operate our systems and must become more self-reliant as an engineering culture to build for the future,” the memo said.

The only MLM product that I’ve seen actually be good for what it is and could easily be sold retail are CutCo knives. Shit, they could still keep the sharpening service (they are rather unique blades and need special sharpening equipment) and they would be still worth it. Nothing has made slicing tomato paper thin without tearing it up easier than one of those knives.
