Didn't these guys already file for bankruptcy 2 years ago? They already tried and tried again but there's just not enough market for it.

All meat consumption leads to the same kind of pollution, soil destruction and inefficient land use, with an even worse effect in a tiny country like the Netherlands. So they decided to do something about it.

And all that for just 1.5 hours of runtime.

Imo if leaving from windows, Linux is easier to use than macos these days, simply because Linux has improved so much recently and the design paradigm is more similar to windows.

Macos has some weird ass UX sometimes like the ridiculous alt-tab equivalent or the switch around of all common keyboard shortcuts.

Learning from the last few years it's clear every last PCB will go to the ai datacenters before it goes to any consumer.

Do you have the slightest idea how little that narrows it down?

I don't think it's black and white so I'm not hating, but the cultures I mentioned are already some of the poorest in the world so the cost shouldn't be a factor. It definitely requires huge adjustments in thinking and approach to food. I know it took me something like three years to be fully comfortable with eating 99% plant based. Like I said, if you're serious about it, I think you can do it.

It can't come soon enough, the only problem I see is that at a global level every country is developing their own closed system that does not operate with others and when you are travelling visa/mastercard remain the only true cross border solution. I wish countries collaborated more on a system like matrix or lemmy where the backend is the same across the globe even if the end user experience is completely different.

Are you adding to the meme excuses or genuinely think this is a good excuse? Because I have two answers depending on your intention.

Option 1: good one.

Option 2: Do you live in the Arctic or somewhere where plants don't grow? No vegan who's serious about this has ever starved. There are entire cultures and religions that are plant based and their choice of food has never starved them.

Ponitails are the most boring depressing hair style to choose for a wedding. It's like wearing slippers or a t-shirt. I'd say take the opportunity to cosplay a bit a do something more creative than the morning "I need this out of my face to brush my teeth" hairdo.

This just accepts all cookies. The default should be to deny them which is what consent-o-matic tries to do. With ublock it's like you're ignoring the pop-up which would be the next best thing.

For me this like is paywalled.

Vegans love animals as long as they are not abused or on a plate so using little pictures of animals would make vegans gleeful while writing most probably.

Hey OP, I will copy a point I made somewhere deeper in this thread that you might not see, because I do really believe that there is help to be had. I commend you on your desire to do something about this, since it will increase your quality of life in ways you never even imagined. Other people have also had great points I think and have touched on the tragedy that is the US medical system, I want to touch on the potential alternative solutions that are too often overlooked.

The obesity epidemic is caused by caloric density creeping up in ultra processed foods, tricking people into thinking they eat a normal amount when they most definitely don’t. The fact that these foods are almost like a drug for some brains combined with the fact that some bodies struggle more than others with burning calories can make it more difficult at first for people to loose weight, but you find yourself in the difficult circumstance of having to pay 200$ per week to do something about it, and there are two alternatives.

"Eat healthier, eat more fruits and veggies, cut out excess sugar, walk more, exercise more, the whole kit and caboodle" - as an external observer with no context all I can read from this is that you replaced some unhealthy calories with some healthy calories. So the first proposal is calorie counting by yourself. You have to be anal about it, every little detail, any little snack has to be on your list and fully counted. If you do this properly and have a hard limit of 1500-2000 per day you will absolutely see results without having to do any excercise or eat any specific food. This is proven science at this point and anyone arguing about this is trying to sell you something or someone else sold them something. More colorful trends like intermittent fasting also achieve caloric deficit in a roundabout way, but in the end it doesn't matter what approach you take, any way that works for you is fine, as long as you don't go over the caloric limit. Losing weight is not exciting and doesn't have some funny quirky solution, it's just simple hard brute force.

Second, a little less brute force solution, but also not free, spend a fraction of that ozempic money on a registered dietician that can monitor your intake and make recommendations. At least that way there’s external support and motivation, as well as much needed help in case you have a history of eating disorder. I found they are like 100-200$ per month so an 8th to a quarter of the ozempic price. This is still going to be hard work, but with support and help from an expert it will be far easier to establish and maintain.

Both of these solutions will help build good habits and help you build an intuition for food caloric content at a glance. Ozempic, if it works, skips these important aspects, which might make you rebound after finishing the treatment, since you never actually learned how to manage your intake, just had reduced appetite for the duration of the treatment. Any aditional things you do like eating healthier and exercising will be a great bonus to your health, but you should honestly skip if they are overwhelming you and impeding you from achieving your goal. It's normal to expect failure when the requirements are steep, so keep it a level you can manage. If calorie restriction is all you can do, then stick to that, but don't compromise it ever because that is the absolute minimum. Everything else may come later.

I wish you good luck with your journey and hope you'll enjoy the new life when you finally succeed.

Edit: bonus point I forgot to make earlier. Exercise may actually increase your appetite because that's just how the body is wired. Which will make resticting calories even more difficult from a mental/willpower perspective. So it may be advisable to actually not exersice while you are trying to achieve your goals, because dealing with both changes of exercising and eating less at the same time can be too much and leads to failure of both. If you have to choose, always do the calorie restriction, like I said before, that is the minimum requirement, everything else is a bonus.

My first reaction would be to say not the same thing, but then I remembered we've had studies recently that have confirmed that depression can genuinely be helped by leaving the house and touching grass.

But still not the same thing compared to depression, unless you have some eating related disorder or medical issue, the vast majority don't and historically never have. The obseity epidemic is caused by caloric density creeping up in ultra processed foods, which already tells you everything you need to know, tricking people into thinking they eat a normal amount when they most definitely don't.

The fact that this food is almost like a drug for some brains combined with the fact that some bodies struggle more than others with burning calories can make it more difficult at first for people but given difficult circumstances like having to pay 200$ per week to do something about it, there is always the free alternative. The difficulty in this case is more akin to quitting smoking or coffee. No one said it's easy, but most could do it if they set their minds on it.

On a less brute force but not free path I would spend a fraction of that money on a dietician that can monitor my intake and make recommendations. At least that way there's external support and motivation. I found they are like 100-200$ per month so an 8th to a quarter of the ozempic price.

If my alternative would be 200$ per week, I'd take eating less as a solution.
