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)

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.

If I was Zelensky, I'd probably agree to a rebuilt Ukraine with Trump Towers and Tesla factories and all sorts of things. "Just imagine, Mr. President, world class Trump golf course and resort in Crimea--- envy of all East Europe!"

Why did that shitty influencer beat up the crazy guy from The Hangover?

Upvote since this is my kids favorite show right now and therefore this is my favorite meme right now.

Edit as someone who watches enough:

Come'n vamonos, everybody lets go!
Come on let's get to it, I know that we can do it!

Where we going?
👏👏👏
Detention center!

Oh no, actually this got too dark.

As far as I'm aware it's correct, but as far as political compass goes, there needs to be a joke that libertarian Steve Rogers diddles kids. It's the right libertarian way!

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.

No, no, once you're a parent you just want someone else to take care of your hellspawn for a day. I can handle making myself a frozen pizza tyvm.

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.
