  • Pretty much. I'm not sure I totally buy into that it's much of an increase though. Or people would be dropping like flies.

    I think the bigger issues is just being generally overweight. The percentage of overweight people is crazy, regardless of their jobs.

    I'm 55 and not to be an old man and say "in the old days", but in the old days, when I was growing up. I knew ONE overweight person. Yeah, just one. It just wasn't common. Look at pics from the 1970's, and you just won't see a whole lot of overweight people.

    Now? Everywhere I look. I'm sure more office workers have added to that, but that doesn't account for everyone.

    I work in an elementary school. And I was sitting at lunch just looking around and thinking about it. Teachers are actually pretty active. Lots of walking around the classroom. Very little sit down time in an elementary school.

    Me and two others are fit. Rest are all overweight. How did this happen?!

    Ok, rant over. Just got me to thinking. :)

  • Finding a BifL smartphone

    Jump

  • I’m surprised to hear a phone for $100 referred to as cheap.

    Fair point. That was the cheapest I could find one that did GPS, cam/vid, and have some apps on it. I do have a crappy flipphone for $30, but I found out that girls I date like to text. A lot. So texting/sending pics/vids was something I found I needed.

    But yeah, my gf has a $1,000 iPhone. I'm like wtf! lol

  • Bread Knive

    Jump

  • Good to know. I may have to revisit this idea.

  • Bread Knive

    Jump

  • In your experience, is making your own bread cheaper than just buying bread? Or do you do it for the love of making your own bread?

    I like the idea of it, but if it ends up being more expensive anyway, I don't really wanna do it. It's just so easy to buy a loaf of bread at the store.

    But I also like the idea of making some tasty bread and mixing in some protein powder so I could have protein bread. lol

  • This is exactly why I am so frustrated that my youth was spent on girls, drinking, fucking off, and avoiding anything to do with all authority.

    That lifestyle is behind me, and I want to do all this cool stuff, but lack the skills and the income to pull it off.

    But this article has inspired me to really jump into a whole new DIY thing. Love the mindset and innovation for this. Thanks for this post!

  • suppose we must push harder for remote work

    But most remote work pays enough that housing isn't an issue. Many lower paying jobs require us to be on-site, and we're the ones that can't afford housing.

    So I think the option is way more affordable housing, and removing the stigma around that. In my area it's called Section 8, and of course, those options always seem to be in the more crime-ridden areas. So frustrating.

    UniversalMonk ban evasion

    Jump

  • Just curious, and not to beat a dead horse, but if Lemmy can give us notifications that comments are removed, why can't it do a simple ban notification as well?

    Because I always get notified when a post or comment has been removed.

    Seems simple enough make the removal notification that led to banning something as simple as "Your comment has been removed for xxxx reason. And now you are banned from the community due to reasons xxxxx."

    I realize that my particular situation here has been resolved and we can move on, but I'm just curious if the lack of banning notifications is a software issue or if it's a philosophical issue for Lemmy and the fediverse.
