But at the end of the day, eating less is the solution to the weight loss
And abstinence is the solution to unwanted pregnancies and STDs. The solution to alcoholism and all other drug addictions? Stop taking drugs/drinking.
Did I just provide medical advice? Or did I just make it clear that I don’t know anything about sex education and drug addictions? I think it’s the latter, and I think you’re making similar arguments wrt fat people.
You’re flattening the realities of life, and needlessly stigmatizing and moralizing eating . for every fat person you save with this gospel, there’s many more anorexic people absorbing the same message.
IMO this is because Lemmy is still mostly targeted at techy/open source people. Trans women have already created their own communities/subculture in this world (‘programmer socks’ etc). But there’s not that critical mass of trans men programmers to make a bustling community here.
Lemmy is probably also very white.
So we need more diverse topics to attract a more diverse audience. Right now, the only people signing up for Lemmy are people who have opinions about Internet protocols.
They wanted to cut out skilled textile workers and replace them with children! Imagine someone not only destroying your livelihood, but then trying to force your children into dangerous work
I love this graphic, but it’s a little outdated. that arrival of humans in NA can be pushed back to at least 20,000 ya. And we’re probably already past the “best case” temperature shown here for 2100 (depending how you take averages, and how hot '24 is)
That’s why I was specific in calling them “Biden Democrats”. I’m not including all Democrats here, nor am I including all Biden voters. "[Name] [party members] " is a shorthand way of talking about either the wing of a party, or a voters whose views align with [name]. This genocide is decades in the making, and Biden’s wing of the party has been complicit the whole time.
If you vote for Biden, that doesn’t make you a “Biden Democrat”. Many people currently protesting the war and taking part in actions will end up voting for Biden this November. I won’t Shame them for doing what they think is best.
However, this is Biden’s legacy. This is what it means to be a “Biden Democrat”. Go ahead and vote for him, but for the love of Blåhaj, don’t embrace the fascist policies that he’s been pushing for decades.
You do realize under the Biden Administration this is the first time the US has ever even abstained from a vote on the security council against Israel?
That’s because in the past, when the US finally thought Israel went too far, they would directly pressure Israel to stop. Carter did it. Regan did it. Biden could have done it, but he didn’t - either deliberately or through incompetence, it doesn’t matter. He continued sending arms to Israel and vetoing enforceable security council resolutions without using ANY of the enormous leverage the US gov has over Israel.
Do you not see the absurdity of rushing arms to a country committing genocide and claiming you oppose the genocide because you abstained from a resolution with no real enforcement possibility? It’s a sick fucking joke
The first part of your post would make sense if Biden just entered politics a few years ago. But hes been in politics for half a century.
Biden has been near or at the helm of US power for about 30 years. He is the face of the ‘bipartisan consensus’ that got us into this neoliberal hell of forever wars and dictator judges.
I mean, you put the blame overturning Roe entirely on the supreme Court. Do you know how long Biden was on the judiciary committee? He should’ve resigned in disgrace for how he treated Anita Hill. In hindsight, seeing how Thomas’s confirmation was handled should’ve made it clear that Roe’s days were numbered.
I don’t like Biden either, but anyone with half a brain knows there are two choices in the 2020 election. If we had a sane voting system, voting third party might be worth it, but as it stands, no one but you knows your favorite candidate exists and unless you want to become their campaign manager that will still be true in...
In September 2023, did you think you’d be supporting a candidate that you acknowledge is committing a genocide? Because my expectations for liberals in 2023 were already very low. But this is some Nazi Germany shit that we’re living in now.
In fact, the actions of the Biden administration to Palestinians in the US is contrary to your claims of the administration supporting genocide:
This is an honestly insulting thing to say. We have eyes. We know where the missiles are made. We know that a convoy of trucks can deliver more aid than air drops and a dock built out of rubble and corpses. The Biden administration supports genocide in palestine. Full stop. No amount of gaslighting can change that fact.
