In the context you've given, sure! I like it but I have trouble believing people when they say it.
Not saying that the person in the post is correct in conflating those words, I don't think that's accurate at all.
However, it is disheartening to see so many ill-informed comments about fatness here... It's way, way more complicated than just "calories in/calories out". Even the extent to which it's unhealthy is more complicated; obesity is linked to higher risk of heart disease, but also linked to higher probability of surviving strokes/etc. A lot of the problem stems from the fact that BMI is a nearly useless metric.
They don't seem to have much presence here as far as I've been able to tell. It's a very purple state so you'd think all the orgs would be here, but they're really not.
As I understand it, a lot of the leftists I associate with don't like them very much? Mostly of the anarchist variety. I don't actually know what the story is there though, it seems more personal than just ideological differences. This is really unfortunate because they're the only leftist group that's actually doing significant work where I live. None of the other groups have any presence here, so it's PSL or bust.
The outlawing of supreme leaders.
I feel like my answer might break AskLemmy's rule 2 about "Overt Politics", but so do a lot of the other answers? Feel free to delete if so.
overtly political answer, also CW for violence.
As far as the current American system goes... nothing. By and large, even laws that seem good are mostly only used in service of the elites, against the people. Consider this series of events:
- In 2015 a white supremacist in South Carolina commits a mass shooting, killing 9 people.
- In 2017, the Georgia state gov expands the state's domestic terrorism laws, directly in response to this shooting, because the previous version wouldn't have covered it.
- In 2022, this expanded law gets used... against people protesting police brutality, who hurt no one, despite the fact that the cops killed one of them.
Unfortunately, this general sequence is not uncommon at all. Neither is the inverse, where the bureaucrats/judges/etc decide "that doesn't count, actually" when it comes to an elite very clearly breaking an existing law, or else changing the law so it doesn't apply to them in retrospect.
Thanks! I hope your huckleberries and raspberries learn to get along, would definitely be nice to have both lol. I try not to think about the dead stuff too much, and just keep rebuilding, but it's hard.
The elderberries are finally starting to ripen and the beautyberries are starting to fruit. The box huckleberry seems to be very happy this year, I dunno why though. The maypops and creeping cucumbers have finally come out, late as they usually do, and are climbing everything. Unfortunately so are the invasive morning glories that I have to keep rescuing everything else from. The young pricklyash is finally starting to look more like a tree than a rose bush. The ostrich and maidenhair ferns are having their second terrible year in a row, not sure what's going on there. Mayapples are very nearly ripe. Finally, the neighbor and landlord have murdered an even greater chunk of the garden. Nearly a third dead to poison...

This time of year, there's a zillion of these loudly and clumsily zooming around right outside my backdoor. They're very curious about everything that moves; they'll just like stare you down, hovering a foot in front of your face. Too cute!! They are also kinda eating the landlords mudroom... but so slowly that I'm pretty sure it hardly matters? You just can't be mad at these little fuzzballs! Worth it for the pollination anyway.
I got these as bare-root saplings a couple years old, and planted them last year. One actually bloomed and produced some berries the same year I planted it! These things sure are prolific. This year, they're all already blooming.
I tried a couple things with the handful of berries from last year, i.e. just eating them raw, making juice, jam, etc. Raw was (somewhat predictably) not very good, but the juice and jelly were great. Also, while I don't at all mind supplementing the diets of local fauna, it was nice that the birds actually left us some! Unlike my elderberries, which they picked clean so fast we didn't get a single one lol.
Trying to get the hang of celtic tatting, just working freehand for now. Real celtic tatting patterns are surprisingly uncommon! There are a lot of cool faux ones, but those won't teach me to use these shuttles. It doesn't look very good at all, trying to keep in mind it's just for practice.
This was a perfect project for getting the very basics of tatting down. Every time I made a mistake I just kept plowing ahead, rather than getting frustrated trying to fix it. Now that the motions feel more natural, it'll be easier to advance, maybe? The pattern is from Urban Knot Design. Even though it's chock full of mistakes, I still wet blocked it and will find some use for it somewhere.
I keep learning the bare minimum of tatting and then getting frustrated and giving up... This time I'm gonna stick with it! Please forgive all the horrendous mistakes lol.
Are Lisbeth and DMC the only people left making cordonnet? I'd really like to try more appropriate thread but it seems to barely exist!
File here. This is almost definitely not the best one that anyone's designed, but at least it's a little unique!
The holder parts bend apart to snap brushes in and out, and there's a little shelf above to put your toothpaste on. The shelf has print-in-place hinges so you can print the whole thing flat with no support and it all works with no assembly.

I've never heard of mujico, either positively or negatively. However, if your instance was blocked by my instance or by lemmy.ml, wouldn't I not be seeing this post?
So, what's your instance about? I'm intrigued!
