    If you re-read the comment that you replied to first that there is a community of people who believe absolute bullshit which you deny in your reply to their comment but then admit they do in mine by refering to them as “extremists”

    Doctors not taking health complaints of people who are carrying an excess of adipose tissue is a real thing, but so are people who refuse to accept that their weight is the root cause of many of their issues and do body positivity a disservice when they do

    No theres absolutely people who believe that shit. Same as people who believe that Trump has all the answers, Jews are the problem and flat earth. The “fat acceptance”, “body shaming” and “body positivity” movements have legitimate positive roots but have also been co-opted by people who just want their bullshit view to be right.

    Take “Healthy at every size” for example. You can have excellent cardiovascular fitness, great bloodwork and your weight isnt the cause of any health maladies but at some point at a certain body fat/muscle ratio (too high or low) is going to start to reduce the probablility of that being the case and people use these edge cases to justify their opinion. Look at Eddie Hall “worlds strongest man” he weighs 355lbs and over 6 foot tall, I havent seen his bloodwork but people will hold him up as an example that you can weigh 350+ but I also bet he doesnt need a scooter to get around wallmart.

    There isnt an ideology or behavior on earth that cant be taken to a toxic place.




  • The best use case I can think of for “A.I” is an absolute PRIVACY NIGHTMARE (so set that aside for a moment) but I think its the absolute best example.

    Traffic and traffic lights. If every set of lights had cameras to track licence plates, cross reference home addresses and travel times for regular trips for literally every vehicle on the road. Variable speed limit signs on major roads and an unbiased “A.I” whose one goal is to make everyones regular trips take as short an amount of time as possible by controlling everything.

    If you can make 1,000,000 cars make their trips 5% more efficiently thats like 50,000 cars worth of emisions. Not to mention real world time savings for people.






  • Honestly I think he comes across as genuine. Yeah he can be a bit abrasive but I also cant stand tv presenters who are always so fucking nice and obviously fake.

    Its why I always liked the way Jesse James hosted Monster Garage. He was (and is) arrogant AF, but also an experienced fabricator who was happy to call people out on fucking off for the camera too much and not putting work in.

    Ive always thought “Personalities should have personalities” otherwise its just interchangable douchebags.







  • I didnt mean it like that, I legitimately dont know. I know Chuck e cheese is a thing (great play area, terrible food) high end restaurants are obviously a thing, as is family casual like TGI Fridays and chain places, but do they have playgrounds?

    Its a stupidly common thing in Australia. The food is (usually) a solid 6 or 7, sometimes an 8, the bar is pretty well stocked and the play area is like an average public park. Easiest way to explain it is like a TINY casino, theres usually some function rooms, a small (or overwhelmingly large if its a predatory shithole) area with slot machines, and a restaraunt (sometimes a few) and a play area.

    If I wanted to go out to eat and had to choose between Chuck E Cheese and a restaraunt where I have to spend the whole night managing my childs behavior to not upset others and those were my ONLY options without the ball ache of organising and paying babysitters. I probably wouldnt go out.


  • Delphia@lemmy.worldtomemes@lemmy.worldIt's a wonderful sound.

    Does America not have “Family Friendly” restaraunts at all? Like not “Chuck E Cheese” but casual dining for families with outdoor playgrounds or an indoor play room?

    My friends and I go out EVERY SATURDAY and 6 kids in total and they know the rules "Cause a ruckus out there on the other side of the heavy windows where I can supervise but still hold a grown up conversation.


  • I once made “Povery rolls”

    I took every last scrap of leftover food, all the half bags of frozen veggies and so on from the freezer. Defrosted it all, put it in a stock pot and cooked it till it was a thick stew moved it to a giant bowl and went buck wild with the electric mixer then threw in about 4kg of self raising flour and water. The dough tasted ok, but then I did the same thing with the spice rack… stock cubes, french soup mix… the works. They tasted odd. But I rested the dough, divided them up and baked them anyways.

    Fuuuuuuuck they were amazing. They tasted like a family sunday roast dinner flavored heavy doughy roll. It made about 50 of them. I scoured the house for change and found enough to go grab a decent sized packet of powdered gravy mix.

    I was genuinely sad when I used the last ones.
