Exciting! Where are you going?

Yeah but you could also end up with 300,000 crushed people if you treat a crowd like this.

I get this too, also when I try to talk and it feels like my mouth is full of cotton wool.

When you get into it, running feels amazing and you genuinely look forward to getting up in the morning to go outside. It probably won’t click immediately though.

They had psychedelics in medieval times. Mushrooms, ergot, etc.

Seriously, wtf is up with that subreddit. I got banned for saying maybe it’s not ok to shoot people in hospitals.

Definitely do both if you need to, but don’t under estimate exercise. I went from 10.5st to 9.5st just doing couch to 5km and then continuing to run 5km 3 times a week, no other dietary changes.

Running for half an hour burns about 400 calories. 1 hour of running, 800. 3 runs a week can burn a day’s worth of calories. Don’t understate the impact exercise has.

I drink water.

Hopefully staying fit, making some new memories with friends, making music, appreciating the time I’ve got here as much as I can.

How do you find it, all I seem to get is trash and if I have to hear the phrase “like and subscribe” one more time I’ll scream?

I don’t think it’s difficult to understand that people feel moved by atrocities that are closer to them. The UK directly helped create present day Israel and the colonisation of Palestinian land. Our current government also supports Israel in their attack on Gaza, meaning our taxes are being used to fund weapons and aid the genocide that’s happening right now. Of course people are protesting here.

Does it mean people don’t care about Tigray? Or course not, but we have less direct influence over what’s happening there.

Agreed on period variation. I remember my teacher telling everyone women didn’t lose more than a teaspoon of blood over the course of a period and I was so confused because I could be sitting over the toilet and losing a teaspoon’s worth in 2 minutes. But no, apparently I was misjudging the amount.

I felt vindicated when I later bought a mooncup and it would fill up in an hour 😆

🤦🏻‍♀️ So when Israel violated Gaza’s border, that’s fine?

There isn’t anywhere safe in Gaza right now.

Like what Hama’s did? Ya, forget terrorists dont have rules didn’t you?

We aren’t talking about what Hamas did, obviously that wasn’t ok?

Gaza is only 25 miles long. The furthest away I could get from my neighbours right now would be the next town over, where 1 million people already live and there is limited food and water. Have some compassion ffs.

And bombing civilians is a war crime, so no, it doesn’t happen in a war zone.

Children shouldn’t be punished for the crimes of crazy men.

I’ve probably read all the threads on the front page of Lemmy about this Greta story, and used to be a heavy reddit user so regularly read threads about her there. The difference in contributed content is night and day. The odd negative comment here would be the main discourse on reddit. I’m not sure why you’re so insistent that there isn’t a difference. It’s ok for the two sites to be different.

I love a good whinge, everyone does, but a reddit whinge in 2023 leans heavily towards right-wing, pro-capitalist, thinly-veiled anti-women rhetoric. I’m not seeing posts here get bombarded with the same comments over and over.

And yet you don’t see it here on Lemmy. The point is the difference in culture between the 2 websites.
