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!!

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!

Thanks! I hope your huckleberries and raspberries learn to get along, would definitely be nice to have both lol. I try not to think about the dead stuff too much, and just keep rebuilding, but it’s hard.

The elderberries are finally starting to ripen and the beautyberries are starting to fruit. The box huckleberry seems to be very happy this year, I dunno why though. The maypops and creeping cucumbers have finally come out, late as they usually do, and are climbing everything. Unfortunately so are the invasive morning glories that I have to keep rescuing everything else from. The young pricklyash is finally starting to look more like a tree than a rose bush. The ostrich and maidenhair ferns are having their second terrible year in a row, not sure what’s going on there. Mayapples are very nearly ripe. Finally, the neighbor and landlord have murdered an even greater chunk of the garden. Nearly a third dead to poison…

I apparently agree with most people that the liberal comments aren’t contributing anything and should be removed, but this also seems like it must be a pain in the ass to moderate. It’s a shame there isn’t some way to just reduce the number of them showing up here in the first place… Don’t want our mods getting burnt out afterall.

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 much to say about it other than that it’s one of the best movies I’ve seen in years. I cried for hours.

Wow, people are actually saying these things? I haven’t really seen anything here like what they’re accusing. Probably people who wandered in from /All I guess?

EDIT: Oop, sorry! Meant to reply to the main post… I could delete and repost but deletes are still a little wonky on Lemmy I think, right?

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
