Yeah I’m worried about that too. Like Pihole can’t block youtube ads because they’re served from the same domain. Same with Twitch. So that could become even more common.

I have bad news for you. Literally every TV has ads now. Every. Single. One. That’s why I keep harping on Pihole. It blocks them.

I wouldn’t know. I use pihole to block all ads on my TV OS. I’m curious though, which service/app is giving you ads on pause? Do you mean like on a Roku TV where the screensaver is ads? Many TVs let you disable that (i.e. LG WebOS.) otherwise pihole is your friend :-)

Don’t bother. The people responding to your comment clearly have no intention to learn.

Brotha waattttt?

If your genetics give you an abnormally slow metabolism, this will result in you gaining weight based off calories that a normal person would eat to maintain a healthy weight. It’s hard enough for most people with normal metabolisms to eat a healthy diet so saying “well those people can just control it with diet” is grossly optimistic and again puts the “blame” on these people with metabolic disorders for not eating well enough.

You did mention though that those people may go the pharmaceutical route, however that may not be available to a lot of people due to lack of health insurance, lack of knowledge, etc. also these weight loss drugs that have become all the rage as relatively new, like last few years

So to come full circle, yes, some people are fat because of genetics.

To be fair, this is a very small subset of people we’re talking about.

Very true, but it still sets the tone for the community and the platform as a whole. If factual information on Lemmy is always downvoted then it makes Lemmy look like a misinformation engine, no better than the other bullshit platforms that have gone to shit. Lemmy is a platform that is trying to grow. Why would people join it if it comes off as toxic?

You are factually wrong sir. I suggest you do some research and reconsider.

Ok. My point was just that these people exist. I made no claim about the frequency of occurrence.

My comment about genetic disorders was downvoted. People here must hate fat people so much that they cannot accept that a small fraction of fat people have genetic disorders and are not fat due to any fault of their own. But hey, fuck em, amirite?

Some people are genetically fat though, or have metabolic disorders. Just keep that in mind.

Edit: lol, down voted for stating a proven fact? Interesting… not a great look for Lemmy, is it?

No you’re right.

Version 1.0 would be full release. Version 0.1 or 0.0.1 would be apha numbering. You should probably re-do this meme…

Makes sense. It also likely depends on blue callar vs. white collar jobs. Or low level vs higher level.

This is definitely posted as ragebait.

I’ve never had a boss EVER that pressed me for information on why I took off sick. That’s completely inappropriate for them to ask.

Yea for sure. That’s why I’m saying he/she should file a lawsuit. That’s completely inappropriate

Pretty sure you have clear grounds for a lawsuit on that one. I feel like you’d easily win compensation. (This is my guess. Obviously consult a lawyer ha)

For future reference though, just keep things high level and say it’s a mental health concern. Or even just a general health issue. NEVER disclose that much information to an employer again.

But yeah, you should totally file a lawsuit.

Easiest downvote of my life.
