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 can’t even verify if this was posted on their site.
If you have the Google app on your phone, Discover is a choice on the bottom bar.

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).
Later seasons of it are better. Less humor for comedy’s sake, but still with some native humor and warmth. Much better than the first episodes.
I don’t have a watch or a Fitbit, but these screens sure look a lot like Google Fit.

I buy my phones refurbished and about 1 years old. I buy above minimum specs so that things last longer as I tend to hang on.
I can’t bring myself to buy a tablet, so I’m still printing papers and using 3-ring binders for my music. My desktop is due for an upgrade. My laptop is a boat anchor but I won’t replace it until it dies. I use an Epson Eco-tank printer which is awesome for ink cost.
The movie is a Tom and Jerry cartoon.
Thank you for this. I used it to explain it to my spouse today. It did help. I remember liking Tom and Jerry, quite a lot, and I never did take them seriously. This was a good perspective for me.
I do have a sense of humor, but I do have trouble with liking movies or TV where I have nobody to root for.
Fighting with Windows 11 introduced me to Linux Mint, which works perfectly! I’m not an OS geek, so I really don’t care about the OS – it’s just the thing I deal with on the way to Firefox.
