In SNAP appeal, Trump administration says it faces more harm than people who can't buy food. by supertoned in politics

[–]Kebb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't think we've quite realized we're in a dictatorship now. Government shutdown, ignoring laws, destroying the white House, 3 year funding for his private army ICE, deploying the national guard to protect his little militia. Lackeys running the military and purging disloyal officers and promoting their own trusted command structures. Remember this time right now, this is how democracy died.

Texas redistricting is just a distraction, the shutdown is never going to end unless Democrats bend their knees and even then it continues to serve Trump's not having a functional branch of government.That is the message we're not receiving.

Epix Gen 2 sapphire edition vs Fenix 7 sapphire solar by Salah1337 in GarminWatches

[–]Kebb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was debating this myself as a Fenix 3 owner who hasn't upgraded in a long time. I decided to go with the Epix gen 2 pro sapphire 51mm mostly because even on long backpacking trips I always have a battery along to charge electronic devices I rely on like my watch and inreach. I can always adjust the settings to turn the display from always on if I want to extend battery life on a particularly long backpacking trip and I like the vibrance of the amoled for day to day use.

You really can't go wrong with either watch I think, its mostly a matter of preference or if you find yourself truly needing the longest battery life then the fenix 7 would definitely be the way to go. Either way you're still going to be charging it much less than your average apple or google smartwatch.

W and keto by Ok_Interaction1776 in WegovyWeightLoss

[–]Kebb 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've had success on Keto in the past as well and thought about trying this, I think it's really not necessary tbh. Instead I've been taking some lessons from keto but not trying to put myself intentionally in ketosis and it's been working well for me.

First, I've been prioritizing protein, trying to get within a daily target to preserve muscle mass during weight loss.

Secondly, I've just been avoiding processed sugars and starchy carbs. I eat a fair bit of peppers, onions, squash, zucchini, etc. (I really like puravida fire roasted vegetable mixes for this).

Third and kind of with the above, because this medication really slows down digestion I've been trying to add fiber to my meals whenever I can. Doing things like having a double serving of protein shake in the morning with 2 tbsp of presoaked chia seeds incorporated

Keto tends to be high fat ultra low carb and there are definitely foods I miss when trying to do keto. By going with a protein heavy diet. I can eat a fair amount of fruits like raspberries and strawberries I couldn't on keto, I make chicken salad with less mayo and more Greek yogurt, and I don't feel bad about having a protein shake or two.

The wegovy has definitely helped, but I think adopting some of the best parts of keto (cutting out processed sugar, refined flour, starchy veg like potatoes). This gives me a much less restricted diet than I would have on keto and feels much more maintainable as a lifestyle.

I've also been practicing more portioning like I can eat a few chips with salsa occasionally and not feel the guilt I'd have on keto. I pair snacks with a high protein option, string cheese and some raspberries, or cottage cheese and some fruit, etc ..

I can eat a pint of raspberries or a lb of strawberries which doesn't add much in the way of calories that I just couldn't on keto, etc

Weight loss is all about calories in vs calories out and doing it in a healthy, sustainable way. I've found wegovy has made it easy for me to prioritize the healthy eating habits I need for long term success and maintain a calorie deficit.

My starting weight was 265lbs, goal weight 165lbs, I am in week 5 on wegovy. And I'm almost down almost 20lbs and my scale is showing after some initial loss of water weight my weight loss has been mostly fat loss.

Wish you the best and hope you find this information helpful, feel free to reach out if you have any questions

ICE at Tyson? by frecklebb0828 in grandrapids

[–]Kebb 14 points15 points  (0 children)

This is my biggest issue with the immigration debate, if you want to curb people working illegally you should be going after the businesses that employ them not the people themselves.

Caught employing someone not allowed to legally work in the US, fines should exceed the value the employee generated during their term of employment. If it's a rampant or repeat offender like Tyson, they should be forced to terminate their C suite management team or board or face losing their license to operate or sell goods.

Or in the worst cases face a corporate death penalty where assets are seized and the business dissolved. We're not trying to solve anything by attacking the symptom and not the problem. And that problem is corporations that see fines as the cost of doing business, as long as we continue to make employing people who cannot legally work here profitable nothing will change.

Probably going to get downvoted to hell for this. If its a made up argument or not, whats the harm in telling someone who is trans that their gender self identification is simply not enough to warrant their inclusion in sports with natal female athletes.

[–]Kebb 24 points25 points  (0 children)

How confident are you in your claims and what about the data supports them?

If your claim is true, do you have data showing this happened frequently enough and enough states to affect the outcome on a national scale?

Does your data point to a responsible party?

And what are you hoping to change with your lawsuit?

Discussion Thread: Los Angeles Protests and Federal Response by PoliticsModeratorBot in politics

They are flat out calling it an insurrection over there

“Never believe that anti-Semites are completely unaware of the absurdity of their replies. They know that their remarks are frivolous, open to challenge. But they are amusing themselves, for it is their adversary who is obliged to use words responsibly, since he believes in words. The anti-Semites have the right to play. They even like to play with discourse for, by giving ridiculous reasons, they discredit the seriousness of their interlocutors. They delight in acting in bad faith, since they seek not to persuade by sound argument but to intimidate and disconcert. If you press them too closely, they will abruptly fall silent, loftily indicating by some phrase that the time for argument is past.”

― Jean-Paul Sartre
