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.

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?

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 got the game as soon as I saw this post, and have been playing it off and on for the last few days. The UI isn’t just bad, it’s like kinda pretty broken! At least on my GrapheneOS/Pixel 7 Pro, anyway. The game is also really really confusing?

…All that said, I actually really like this idea, and I’ll keep playing in hopes the rest improves over time. Also in hopes that anyone else in my area joins in lol, it’s pretty quiet here.

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.

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

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

Is that a thing?? Ahhh I wish!

Work, unfortunately 🥲

Much like the entire rest of my transition, I took the most cautious (read: cowardly) approach. I picked something androgynous that could feasibly be a nickname for my deadname, and got everyone used to that before ever even coming out. On the plus side, it’s extremely rare for me to get deadnamed now. On the negative side, it’s not the name I would have chosen if fear hadn’t been a factor.

I’m left-handed, and for some reason for me personally, Portuguese style has always been easiest to adapt that way. Might just be me though.

I usually wait till they complain about something related to one of the big corporate platforms, then throw out a “you know, the fediverse has an ‘X’ now, come join us!” Just replace X with reddit/tumbler/youtube/etc, whatever platform they were complaining about.

Alternatively, I’ll share fediverse links in the process of showing memes to people.
