  • The internet as a whole was so much better for this.

    Free speech and exchanging of idea and views was great. Most of my time on YouTube was spent looking at out and out discussions, back and forth, about religion. Which seeing as I went to a religious school I didn’t really have anyone to talk to that was very helpful for me.

    Now people come to a conclusion and stick with it. But they also get encouraged by people doing exactly the same upvoting their view and down voting others. Evidence doesn’t matter. Reddit and redditors used to encourage upvoting alternative opinions.

    People are going so far as to want certain views banned just because it isn’t their view. It’s scary how much people want to be restricted. Reddit used to be great for free speech but now its terrible. I was hoping Lemmy would, by it’s federated nature, be an exchange of different ideas and views but if anything it is a lot worse. (I actually find the mods to largely be okay. But the people are terrible, worse than reddit is at this moment it time)

    So no Lemmy is nothing like reddit of old at all. I’d love to go back to reddit from 10 years ago.





  • There is maybe a subtle but big difference between being a fat slob and being powerful.

    Big guys/ strong guys always seemed to be attractive at least to some people. Henry the 8th was big to look good. Apparently he was much slimmer as a youth.

    But I’m not a woman and I have no first hand experience on being overweight so what do I know?

    The amount of crap fat people eat that skinny people don’t realise is insane.

    You see some fat person it a salad with loads of calories in the dressing then go much on some crisps. Then some skinny guy will eat chicken and rice and the fat person will say “I wish I could eat like you”.

    Also mobility is a huge factor. So many skinny people walk or move around somehow and do far more than overweight people.

    One thing I’ve noticed is quantity eaten and why. Skinny people only seem to eat loads when they haven’t eaten much across the week or if they just done a load of exercise. The calories in calories out is far more balanced.
