  Another good question would be how much of that debt’s interest is being subsidized by the government?

  And why is that?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨sweet dreams⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  This is something I find believable, and I wonder why it’s not commonly discussed more.

  This needs to become the new colloquialism for taking a dump.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I just heard about Brazilian Butt Lifts which is a procedure where they take fat deposits from somewhere on your body and place it in your butt?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I would imagine that if the body is not used to burning fat in a specific area, it would probably continue not burning fat in that area, until it had no choice but to burn there.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I just heard about Brazilian Butt Lifts which is a procedure where they take fat deposits from somewhere on your body and place it in your butt?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  IANAD, but it’s my understanding that how people store and lose fat is unique to their biology. That said, it makes sense (to me) that one of two things would happen:

  1. They burn more fat in the area they augmented (ie their butt), because they didn’t have a lot to there begin with
  2. They gain/burn their fat faster elsewhere in their body, leaving their butt safe for a while

  I do not have any proof to back that up, other than my own personal experience with my body.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨giving out food bags to employees⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  That is a damn shame. I feel like for-profit schools shouldn’t exist.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨giving out food bags to employees⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  First of all, I 💯 agree with you that all employees should be paid a living wage!

  Obviously some people will fall on hard times despite what they’re paid, so it’s good to have this service in general. Let’s hope not too many employees have to utilize this on the regular.

  This is a public community college in Florida. If it’s anything like my public university here in North Carolina, the state probably allocates the salary budget through legislation, and the school itself has very little (if any) say in what employees earn. So, unless I’m mistaken, the blame for the living wage argument would rest solely on the state; and if that’s the case, I would give kudos to the college for offering this service in spite of the state.

  I would buy all of the “commercial” land that I could just to spite developers who want to mow down all the trees to put up strip malls.

  But what about the one in the US Senate? Surely we can throw that one into the ocean. No?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is there a more politically and ideologically diverse alternative for Lemmy?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I think I see the problem. You left Reddit, but Reddit didn’t leave you.

  What I mean by this is that you care more about the responses of internet strangers than you do having a genuine a discussion. As long as you’re being truthful, honest, and giving good faith arguments, then who cares if people downvote you or call you names. You’ve done your job. You’ve led that proverbial horse to water. You can’t make them drink. Let it go, and love on.

  Of course we’re going to form an opinion of you based on what you say. It’s all we have. If you don’t like the opinion being formed, then give us more insight to who you genuinely are so we can change our minds. And before you say it doesn’t matter, it obviously does or you wouldn’t be here making the argument you’re making. Be honest with yourself.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is there a more politically and ideologically diverse alternative for Lemmy?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  We can only know what you show us. The rest we have to fill in based on what you’ve said in the past. That’s how this stuff works. It’s a back and forth. For it to work, you actually have to contribute.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is there a more politically and ideologically diverse alternative for Lemmy?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve skimmed some of your comments, and honestly it looks like you’re already getting a diverse experience considering your political and ideological way of thinking. That’s not a condemnation, but a quick observation.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨‘My hoo haa is gonna be out’: US Olympians slam Nike for skimpy women’s track kit⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  They do it because ultimately, they get away with it. I understand athletes have worked their asses off to get to compete (especially in the Olympics), but at some point if they genuinely want change, they need to take a stand — either wear something less revealing, or boycott their events. Get enough people to do it, and maybe it’ll send the message.

  Hey. Don’t judge me. You use your bidet your way, and I’ll use mine in my way. Besides, it makes for a great water pik when I’m brushing.

  Hey, glad you’re feeling better!! Depression sucks! I go through the same battles of not being motivated to shower every day. I got a bidet, which helps, and splash water on my head and face. It’s not the same, but better than nothing.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨YSK there is a condition that makes your armpits smell worse called trichobacteriosis that is common and easy to treat⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Hm. I don’t have any yellowish coating that I can recognize, but my stank smells different than it used to; it’s a bread-like smell. Could this still be what you’re describing or something different?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨do you use cotton leggings? would you recommend them?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Honestly, you’re undecided. That’s fair. But it’s leggings. It’s not like you’re making a major purchase that requires this much attention to detail. No one will lose their life if you make a mistake.

  Go out and buy a few different pair of leggings. Try them out. Make a personal decision to which ones you liked best. Return, throw away, or give away the ones you don’t like.

  End of story.
