Depressing, but having seen my Missouri friend eat in not surprised. I'm glad he's taking ozempic now cause I swear the Midwestern diet it inherently an eating disorder. (Also thinking of a Texan friend who drinks coke like it's water, oooof).

It's never too late, I managed to lose 20lbs simply not going after seconds on my tasty pasta dinners. Took like 6 months but my stomach got used to it. Granted, this last week has been hella tempting to stress eat, but just seeing progress is enough to keep me going. Just get the ball rolling and be happy with really subtle losses. Like, impossible to notice day to day loses.
Why did that shitty influencer beat up the crazy guy from The Hangover?
You know, despite all the crazies on Lemmy, I still doubt we have people invested enough to bot us. Too small a market share and defederation makes it even more complicated. Our bad takes -- 100% genuine!
Noted! I never like playing with controller so that's the other thing, but some tasks really don't require precision clicking.
We'll see. The guy practically steals political capital so it is unpredictable; traditional candidates usually have to cut deals with folks in house and Senate when a policy would cost that person votes, but he doesn't play by that because he can just make shit up. Gaetz will be a good test to see if he's still able to force bad choices on people.
The only upside is he's also an idiot who doesn't trust people around him. 2016-2020 was bad, but man it could have been a lot worse if he wasn't inept.
Yes, I know. Well actually, technically No Child Left Behind was a bipartisan attempt to improve education under Bush but was designed by people with conservative values (hence being a shit show designed to improve public education by punishing it).
But yes, on average, they've mostly pushed privatization of education and in more recent years, homeschooling for religious values. Dumbing down of society is probably a welcome side effect of stealing money from kids to fund tax breaks for the rich, though.
I imagine with denuvo he'll have to wait a moment before he can sail the seas. Not too long, though.
Hold yourself over with emulated DQ 1 and 2!
I adore the first trilogy of DQ games but I'm holding off cause I don't like or trust SE anymore (plus, denuvo, ugh).
I will say, it's a better experience to play 1 thru 3 in order with no prior knowledge of what makes them a trilogy. Having 3 stand alone kind of misses that "oh fuuuuuuuck" realization I got to experience (and subjected a friend to, who has yet to forgive me lol). It's what made 3 one of my favorites next to 5 and 11.
Looks lovely! Didn't think the deck could handle mods but looking at the specs, makes sense.
I wonder if my modpack I've been playing works on deck so I could at least get a few more things done while watching kids (the pack being Enigmatica 6 Expert, works on 1.16). It's a chunky pack though, so I'm doubtful.
Quick edit: was reminded of my pack because of the big tree. E6E ends with a giant tree growing in your base you have to nurture with obscene amounts of stuff you automate.
Half of voters, and still 47% voted Harris last I checked. And turnout was especially bad, too, hence it technically only being a fraction of Americans. That's not to say it's not terrible, but even when Trump didn't get a majority last two times it was alarmingly high.
But my expertise is in education, I can say definitively that Americans fail at civics and we haven't done much to fix that in close to half a century. But failing civics doesn't mean you deserve persecution or deportation or skyrocketing costs or nuclear death-- especially when people can legally lie to you to sway your vote. Systems fucked, but I wouldn't place the blame on that slight majority of subset of the population.
It's really mostly about doing something sustainable. I tried keto once and lost 20lbs only to regain it immediately after. Portion control seems to be working better for me since I will still eat whatever I want during the day (helps that my diet is mostly normal food I cook and not processed)
