Nice reference.
Btw Ali G came up nice. As in Sacha wasn’t left to be defined by Ali, went on to become Borat (which was also like the 20 years ago), has done some seriously good drama shows and now is looking like this:

Not really. Just look up the some slang words from 2000’s you’ve never heard of but what everyone in my generation would’ve been constantly using.
Ofc some of them are still around, but most aren’t.

Yup
Phrase what’s cooking? “what’s up, what’s going on” is attested by 1942. To cook with gas “do well, act or think correctly” is 1930s jive talk.
The expression “NOW YOU’RE COOKING WITH GAS” has bobbed up again — this time as a front page streamer on the Roper Ranger, and as the banner line in the current advertising series of the Nashville (Tenn.) Gas and Heating Company, cleverly tying gas cooking to local food products and restaurants. “Now you’re cooking with gas” literally took the gas industry by the ears around December 1939 — Remember? — when it flashed forth in brilliant repartee from the radio programs of the Maxwell Coffee Hour, Jack Benny, Chase and Sanborn, Johnson Wax, Bob Hope and sundry others. [American Gas Association Monthly, vol. xxiii, 1941

I don’t know who needs to hear this but I should point out both the characters here are men, and the things in their laps are their fists.

Can you morally take part in capitalism?
No.
Can you morally take part in (moral) market economies? Sure.
So then it’s just about where to draw the line.

I mean, it will help eliminate the habit.
The person doing the snacking is addicted to a feeling usually associated with eating because of a hormone that your stomach releases which makes you hungry. (Ghrelin iirc) This medication on either ocunteracts that or helps it’s counterpart, leptin, which signals satiation.
Usually people with severe obesity have those signalings all fucked up.
But like with smokers, nicotine patches will help people quit, but some just like still smoke on them and don’t even reduce, you know? Those people are more addicted to smoking than dependent on the nicotine, really.
Similar thing goes for food addiction. It can be either or, addiction or “dependence” (I put it in airquotes because it’s still not “really” required but your body certainly will make you think it is because it doesn’t know we live in modern times and a bit of fasting is completely safe).
Usually it’s a mix of both, obviously, like with everyone. But if the psychological component is far larger, than these sort of meds perhaps won’t help as much, and you’d need something combined with therapy perhaps.
but slim and shapely.
Yeah eh, if they’re being cautious and abiding by the instructions on the medications, I guess why not.
- Comment on where did we go wrong 1 week ago:
In a way, they attempt to moderate the hormones that usually are the cause behind snacking. But it won’t eliminate habit.
You’d be surprised at the figures of some of the people I see at the doctor’s for weight loss drugs.
I don’t think I would, but if some anorexic person gets weight loss drugs instead of a referral to a psychiatrist, somethings gone wrong.

Are you apologising for me not having a VPN? I don’t think that’s your fault tbh.
- Comment on Home Alone 2 weeks ago:
I live in an apartment building, no hot water limits. One olis side perhaps, in the other wise dreary living style.
The only thing for me is the pipes are getting on (not that much the house is like 30 years at most) but just loose enough to make a slight sound when using warm water, and especially when opening and closing pressure. KACHUNK.
But if you use the cooler water this noise is significantly reduced.
Sometimes I do care about my neighbors, although I prolly shouldn’t as they won’t behave no matter what. (This house and area are rather interesting)
- Comment on Home Alone 2 weeks ago:
A bidet shower is perfect.
It’s just a smaller shower handle, like this.
It runs from the same water as the faucet, so it’s always the temp you want to adjust it to, as long as you remember that like the first second or two will be cool, like with a shower.
- Comment on Something we all can agree on 2 weeks ago:
Why would the Russian and Chinese governments want to influence a small collection of web forums with no real influence on the wider world?
Why wouldn’t they? Why would Russian or Chinese people be any worse at using internet platforms than we are?
Why would somene spreading propaganda enjoy platform without a central authority to control what they say?
Hmm yeah, that’s a tough one. A really really tough nut to crack. Just no answer.
If only I got a euro for every time I read this general bullshit denial of propaganda and disinfo, “there’s no propaganda on Lemmy”, I’d be a rich man

Weight loss drugs don’t immunise you against food though.
And usually the people who are on drugs for weight loss a rent exactly close to the figure represented.

You do give a shit about fonts, you just don’t give a shit about discussing font choices.
I assume that if the global choice was something like Papyrus, or Windings, you’d care.

Sure. But lots of them definitely qualify as AGI, whereas what we have is just AI.
So like yeah, oranges are round-ish and planets are round-ish, but there’s quite a sizable difference.

I mean, if you put some stuff in a room, then slowly start to heat the room up, would you describe the things — which will at one point or another catch fire —as “spontaneously” combusting?
I’m not arguing the use is wrong here, just a thought I had.
