I mean yeah, Ozempic is the death knell of weight watchers.

How much stock did she dump before this announcement? If Martha Stewart was convicted, how much more inside info is this? The SEC should be investigating the fraud that is Oprah.

Huh - a billionaire that lies?

Whoda thunk?

In a world of constant unjustified hyperbole, Oprah is genuinely the nexus of SOOO much evil through Oz, Phil, John of God, etc.

What a fucking suck on humanity.

She is a victim of abuse that keeps the cycle going.

I loathe this woman...evil all around

[–] [email protected] 10 points 8 months ago

so she shorted the stock right?

[–] [email protected] 17 points 8 months ago (3 children)

of course she did. it’s the only way she’s gonna be able to do it. we need to stop focusing on people’s bodies and get on with fixing the climate.

Yeah, I'm not racist but climate change is a big deal.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 8 months ago (1 children)

nobody was talking about the climate dude

[–] [email protected] 6 points 8 months ago

Exactly 😥

False dichotomy but I take your point..

[–] [email protected] 2 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Is it a false dichotomy if every problem humanity faces comes second when compared to climate change?

[–] [email protected] 7 points 8 months ago

But we can focus on more than one problem. Like I'm a gay guy. Should I nor focus on the potential genocide me and my community will likely face if the Republicans can win?

[–] [email protected] 63 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Never forget that Oprah platformed grifters like Dr. Oz and Dr. Phil

[–] [email protected] 18 points 8 months ago

A lot of rapists too.
