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.

Random question; The city you grew up in wasn’t called “Forssa”, was it?

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.

Sure there’s quite a lot of them to choose from, but for instance USPS tracking numbers are 22-digit numbers.

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.

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 4 days 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 4 days 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 4 days 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.

I thought that was a gif at first, but it was my eyes playing tricks on me.
Like a mostly still gif, but like the eyes just quickly dart back and forth every 5 seconds or so.

This is clearly AI, he has way too many fingers on his hand; five.
I see him more as a lobster type of thing. Image
- Comment on It turns out Nokia’s legendary font makes for a great general user interface font – OSnews 1 week ago:
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.
- Comment on Who is the enemy? 1 week ago:
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.

Stop humanising answering machines by equating them to Star Wars level droids please.
Insulting.

Idk man, my ears are pretty good at estimating quick relative pressure changes.
Also, were I in a spavesuit, I’d probably have trouble judging temperature changed as well.

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.

I agree with you otherwise but I don’t think this is correct.

You don’t even realise it but your quality of rhetoric is devolving.
en.m.wikipedia.org/…/Framing_(social_sciences)
Propaganda isn’t synonymous with lying you uneducated twit.
For instance Davel@lemmy.ml did the exact same type of spamming of “don’t vote genocide joe” and later anti-harris articles. Are any of those untrue? No. Did it help Trump win? Yes. (No matter how marginal the effect.) He also claimed to be American, when he painfully clearly isn’t.
So yah, the quality of your rhetoric is going down. Maybe take a breather, have some krokodil, go to bed and try again tomorrow.

How do you think disinfo and misinfo shows up?
Oh you don’t think about it?
That’s why.
- Comment on Speeding overtaking driver who left cyclist with life-changing injures in “horrendous” hit-and-run crash jailed for four years 3 weeks ago:
or spammy stuff.
He posts so much he doesn’t even have time to read the articles. Yet you pretend it isn’t spam.
Zzzzzzzzzzz
Grow up

I’ve stated it a dozen times. Are you honestly not seeing it, you’ve mangled you’ve brain so badly with cognitive dissonance that it’s literally blocking text from comments you reply to?
Or the simpler explanation that you’re just a bad faith bullshitter.
I don’t care a bit about him. I care about disinfo and misinfo.
I just wish even once there was one of you who knew how to argue even a little. But it’s like middle school level rhetoric. Such a bore.
You don’t care for misinformation and disinformation? Why not?
