When I was 14 I killed a “dudes lounge” that was a spinoff of a forum I belonged to because me and the other mods decided to let girls we were friends with from the main site in and the dudes weren’t happy. So while I don’t sympathize with the TERFs, reading this post brings back memories lol

You joke but there are people yelling at our mayor on twitter about how we would have power if we were on 100% oil & gas power generation lol

But my mother’s story, like Sam’s, like everyone’s, didn’t have to turn out like this. For 60 years, doctors and researchers have known two things that could have improved, or even saved, millions of lives. The first is that diets do not work. Not just paleo or Atkins or Weight Watchers or Goop, but all diets. Since 1959, research has shown that 95 to 98 percent of attempts to lose weight fail and that two-thirds of dieters gain back more than they lost

Oh wow, that’s crazy. When I lost >100 lbs over the course of a year doing keto and carefully tracking my caloric intake (with very little exercise) it must have been the fat fairy that was actually making me lose weight.
