BTW the person you replied to isn’t the original person you replied to. Hence the confusion. The first person is also a lemmy.ml user but the second person isn’t - but I guess you assumed they were the same person without checking the usernames.
Oooh I see.
So is lemmy.ml associated with Chinese propagandists now? There was me thinking it was just the one that happened to be created by the creators of lemmy…
Where’s this .ml you’re seeing?
I mean this sincerely and not as a hollow insult: you’re too cynical. Give the internet a rest for a while and get some endorphins flowing. You’d like it…and we’d appreciate it.
That’s not irony, that’s hypocrisy.
Their source is better than your source. They at least indicated that it was word-of-mouth and didn’t try and present it as anything but that.
Gas prices feed through to consumers by raising the cost of energy for everyone except those not using gas. So it seems reasonable to not double count it by adding it to the basket as well.
The only real gas consumers use is for heating and cooking - and that is very low volume compared to the impact on us from costs to producers going up.
Bit of an overreaction. Same-sex facility sharing has been a staple part of human society for thousands of years. We seem to have done okay so I’m not too worried or “horrified”. I guess it’s just not something you’ve come across so it seems unusual to you.
Depends I guess. They’re cheaper to do the open style so in poor schools and sports facilities you tend to get them.
If you’ve been fortunate enough to go to decent schools and not played sports outside of well funded institutions then you probably wouldn’t have come across them.
The majority of US citizens do not fall into those categories, and for that reason I see it as an unnecessary procedure that is more cultural than scientific.
Not so dramatically you can not wear a condom. So given you’re going to strap up anyway, what’s the benefit to having surgery on your genitals?
You’re forgetting that communal showers is a thing
Don’t they get charged that? As in it gets deducted from their slave wages.
I think you’ve got some things twisted here, you certainly can eat more than you burn.
For example my maintenance calorie level is around 1400 a day. I work a sedentary job and do moderate exercise 5 times a week. The low amount of calories I need to maintain my weight was surprising - I always went by the RDA of 2-2.5k - no surprise I was slowly gaining weight over the years.
I can easily blow past 1400 without even thinking about it. I drink about 500 cals of milk a day alone. No carbs in that yet I’m already 1/3 of my limit and I’ve not even had that 1000cal tub of ice cream.
Protein is harder to overeat because it’s lower calorie per gram and its harder to digest so we feel fuller for longer.
If cutting out carbs works for you then crack on! It’s all about just finding the diet that works for you because trying to do something too painful will unlikely result in meaningful lifelong changes.
All diets offer the same thing: less calories in than you burn.
There’s no secret sauce here…it’s just about finding ways you can change your lifestyle to reduce calories in.
Exercise is good for you for many reasons, but you can’t outrun the spoon. The effort required to burn 1000 calories is significantly higher than the effort required to not eat the 1000 calories.
The thing that worked for me was tracking my calories every day. Didn’t aim to change what I ate…but when I saw the realities of the calories rich food I was eating I made simple choices to switch it out for low calories. Fibre and Protein are your friend in this fight.
Also doesn’t help that the USA political spectrum consists of “right” and “far right” so while they may call it “left” it’s only left compared to the far right.
Welcome to the party pal - where you get downvoted because you thought the word used to marginalise gay people had fallen out of favour…along with poof and bender.
So we’re still using nonce then?

You know Dropbox? Google drive? OneDrive? That’s file synchronisation. Files across multiple devices kept in sync by the software provider. Except in the named cases above, all your data is uploaded to their servers. With syncthing there’s no cloud server, just your devices operating over the internet. So you have some backup responsibility to cover.
Caveat: I’ve never used syncthing and I wrote the above with a total of 10 seconds of reading their website and so it is entirely possible I’m completely wrong about everything and so I emplore you to do your research.
