Not saying that the person in the post is correct in conflating those words, I don’t think that’s accurate at all.

However, it is disheartening to see so many ill-informed comments about fatness here… It’s way, way more complicated than just “calories in/calories out”. Even the extent to which it’s unhealthy is more complicated; obesity is linked to higher risk of heart disease, but also linked to higher probability of surviving strokes/etc. A lot of the problem stems from the fact that BMI is a nearly useless metric.

Makes sense to me, nothing to add! I hope the fediverse gets better for marginalized people…

Unfortunately Lemmy being a reddit-like platform, there’s likely gonna be a bunch of reddit-like people in these comments saying reddit-like things that go against one or all of these guidelines.

One of my boyfriends is in the middle of forcing me to watch all of Naruto, and honestly I hate it so far? Once you’re a couple seasons into Shipuden they interrupt every single episode of actual progress with like 5 episodes of unnecessary flashbacks. Also the message is terrible, it’s misogynistic as hell and damn near fascistic.

For the One Piece fans here, I’m getting the impression that it’s like almost exactly the opposite. Is that true? If so we’re watching that next for sure.

Woww wtf!!

They don’t seem to have much presence here as far as I’ve been able to tell. It’s a very purple state so you’d think all the orgs would be here, but they’re really not.

As I understand it, a lot of the leftists I associate with don’t like them very much? Mostly of the anarchist variety. I don’t actually know what the story is there though, it seems more personal than just ideological differences. This is really unfortunate because they’re the only leftist group that’s actually doing significant work where I live. None of the other groups have any presence here, so it’s PSL or bust.

The reason you can’t afford food is because precariousness is baked into the system, it’s a necessary component to force people to participate in capitalism largely against their will, whether they realize it or not. So, in that sense, surviving in any other way than by selling your labor is at least a little revolutionary, isn’t it?

I do! We have them where I live and this has happened to me too lol. I like to consider it a sign of trust that they’re willing to get that close to me, even though it’s more likely they’re just kind of oblivious. Although, they do have the best eyesight of any centipede… so who knows!

Please be nice to house centipedes, they’re friends. They won’t hurt you.

EDIT: Sorry OP, I shouldn’t have assumed any ill will, you seem cool!

The 40 hour work week was a goal set by people working way more brutal hours, not infrequently 7 days a week. People fought really hard for decades to change it, and when I say “fought” I mean literally. Many of them were murdered by the state or corporations for it. But they got there.

May I introduce you to the 4/4/4 movement?

I use Reflow Filaments’s PA-CF from recycled fishing nets all the time, it’s WONDERFUL stuff. Might be using the same source?

I don’t have a lot of mod experience, but I am bi and frequently online. If this is a “the more the merrier” type situation, then I’d be happy to pitch in as well.

Makes Your Head A-Splode if you think about it too much.

I’m so glad I’m not the only one! 😅

Yeah that’s definitely my problem, I just can’t seem to resist overthinking it 😅

Etsy has been rapidly going downhill for a while now, in many ways. It’s a shame…

Does Ravelry allow nudity in their pattern sales? I think so, right? There’s also some new site that’s modeled after Etsy, except it’s like a worker co-op or something cool like that. Not much on there yet though

This trope, like how the Addams Family does it, has always really bothered and confused me. Like if the characters followed it to it’s logical conclusion, it wouldn’t make any sense at all, and I just can’t get over that. I don’t know how to explain what’s logically wrong with it, I wish someone would like write a tvtropes page about it

I came to say the same thing about Camellia sinensis, thinking “am I about to be more of a tea purist than is even encapsulated in this chart?” So I’m glad somebody else got there first lol

Me as a vampire and also Marvel’s The Thing: “It’s hemogobblin’ time!”

Oh what a cool concept! I definitely have some to contribute

Oh god my brain… This one is truly beyond me
