Yeah I’m finding beehaw a great, very active community. They’re doing something right.

Great work! It’s not that it’s not possible. It’s just not common.

For most it’s an appetite suppressant. Bear in mind, exercise is rarely a weight loss tool. It’s very important but it’s not really a way to lose weight

I’m glad people have correctly realized that the French should be associated with violent anti government riots and not surrendering. That was a meme that needed to die.

It’s not much better in other places. Lots of us rely on being “better than the us” so as it slides, so do we, just a few meters behind.

Politicians need to actually feel concerned about how the people they are hurting will respond. Currently they know there will be nothing more than a few grouchy news articles and upset social media comments.

I’m really tired of prescribing ozempic. It’s the only thing I have access to that works, but it’s not the wonder drug people think it is. Pretty much every other day I have to give the same speech about informed choice around it and how it works. I look forward to a brave new era where there are half a dozen others on the market that I have to give a slightly different speech about.

Every dollar we spend making sure kids in poverty and their families have food and shelter and security is going to pay off hundreds of times over in adulthood. It’s still a hard sell, politicians tend to operate in the timeframe of “next election”.

I don’t think it’s all that slippery a slope. Not many deep sea private submarine rescue operations going on amidst the working class.

Bank of Canada trying desperately to convince everyone that nothing is actually up?

“Unauthorized Bread” by Cory Doctorow is a short story about this. Great read.

Almost all these smart devices are useless. Just give me a fucking toaster or microwave that doesn’t die in six months, there is no world on which being able to connect my microwave or dishwasher to the internet is relevant or helpful to anyone but the data miners.

To heck with you for your stupid opinion, everyone is obviously always positive here

Subs=subscriptions.

Was wild logging in this morning to see it and thinking “yep this is going to be a hit” and coming back to see the highest voted Lemmy post ever

Glad another Marxist said it. The problem isn’t that capitalism was always the wrong choice, it’s that we’re clinging to it long beyond its best before date.

New Comments is also good.

I’m puzzled what’s surprising about this.

I’m not LGBT, or American, but seeing people online suddenly talk openly with a great deal more vitriol and hatred about my friends, and even my child, caused me a fair bit of stress.

Build trust by having AMAs of interesting non-celebrity people.

The plus side is that it’s open source, so we could look into having some way to collapse crossposts in view so that you eg. see a single link with a “see other conversations about this” button.

yes, it is so small I can’t read it, you’re right
