All the Williams titles are pretty terrific. Pinball FX (Zen) has done a good job with these.

A lot of the comments so far are trying to stay with the negative connotation to exploitation. You exploit your comfortable shoes to walk further each day. You exploit the microwave oven’s ability to more quickly warm your coffee than the stove.

This is the same with discrimination. You choose the raspberry danish over the cheese danish. This is you practicing discrimination, and it’s fine.

Any evil in it comes from abuse or impact to yourself with respect to others, that second definition of exploitation in the OP.

and it’s generally directly supported by rider fares instead of petitioning for government tax money.

Fares alone do not pay the bills. Buses are always subsidized (which is totally fine IMO. Every fine metro area has a good transit system, and it should be affordable to all who would want to use it.)

trains and busses that actually work and get people where they need to go with minimal hassle and a reasonable cost

Trains predate cars and busses have always been with us since the car. People have voted – with their cars.

The Interstate Highway System started in the 1950s. Population has more than doubled since then. Of course, we have more traffic, we have more people!

Yes. When somebody else has a better take and I want it to be the top comment, I will downvote mine.

Barbershop quartet singing (ala The Barbershop Harmony Society). Instant friends and such satisfaction to hear yourself lending a note into four-part chords. (It’s the basis of my username.)

Working out with weights

Unfortunately, I’m finding Lemmy 2023 just as shallow as Reddit 2023.

I’ve convinced myself that using his name practically in the title is about marketing. People watched it just because his name was on it.

One of Roddenberry’s first series was called The Lieutenant which aired on NBC for a season – until it was canceled due to a falling out between the Marines and the network over a race-based episode that nobody wanted but Roddenberry forced through (too preachy they worried). Episodes of this are available on YouTube and you will see some of the Trek stars that appeared in Where No Man has Gone Before.

For those looking for a Lemmy weight loss community, visit !loseit@discuss.tchncs.de and help us grow one!

This is too severe and unhealthy.

Your body is burning not just fat tissue, but lean tissue as well, and likely so fast that it can’t replace it fast enough to keep up. Even with 5000 Fridays, you’re taking in 8000 a week which is less than 1200 a day, less than some old short inactive grandma would use to lose a few extra pounds (not from 270).

Weight loss puts increased demands upon the body. Gallstones, malnutrition, dehydration, and electrolyte imbalances can happen when those demands exceed the body’s capability to cope with them. More minor side-effects include hair and nail problems, irregular female menstrual cycles, constipation, dizziness, fatigue, and headaches.

I just saw your post. Wanted to say hi. I lost from 298 and also lost pretty fast, but didn’t need to go all that severely. I also had a few goal-weight adjustments but I’ve kept it off basically for 8 years now (170s now, at 5’11 male).

Hey folks, send the EFF some of your loving money. They are worth it. They truly are watching our backs. Good people doing the good fight.

Everything that has a beginning has an ending (perhaps with a long tail). Perhaps the only wrong thing is that we forgot about that. All of these Internet services tend to have a long tail, most of everything we remember once using is still around in some form barely being used but for a tiny and loyal user base that is still hanging in there for some reason.

None of these things were great in and of themselves, it was always the community.

I heartily recommend Fox News*, but otherwise I’d suggest looking up hashtags of things you’re into and following people who like what you like. And follow other people on your own server too.

I love it!!

If invented in 2003, it probably would have had the name iBiscuit or eBiscuit.

Excellent! Consider me subscribed!
