  • 99% of all Americans today either are an immigrant themselves or have an ancestor within living memory who was one

    That’s a shocking stat to me. My perspective is probably skewed because I am from a small town in central Appalachia so nearly everyone in the county was from one of the families that settled the area shortly before the American Revolution. I would have assumed the percentage of people whose families immigrated here before the Civil War was much higher.

    The mods don’t look particularly active so I’m going to make a guess based on how the reddit community worked.

    Medical interventions are fine to talk about so long as they are kept in perspective. Medication, surgery, therapy, etc are tools that can help with weight loss. They aren’t a magic bullet and losing weight requires effort and commitment with or without them. They shouldn’t be pushed on others and no one should be discouraged from using them. Respect that the journey is a personal one.

    I am restarting as well. I was a pandemic weight loser, from the end of 2020 to the beginning of 2023 I went from 470 to 180 and over the last year I’ve gone back up to almost 300 and have mostly abandoned my exercise routine. I’ve been working for a couple weeks to get back to exercising and get back under 200.

    Looks like one mod hasn’t posted for 7 months and the other posted 2 weeks ago but is very infrequent.




  • How can you have a list of 80s cheesy sci-fi with no Troma? The Toxic Avenger, Class of Nuke Em High, Surf Nazis Must Die.

    On top of being a list of big budget films these are supposed to be under appreciated? Ghostbusters had a sequel in the 80s, basically continuous TV presence for the past ~40 years, and unreasonably huge merchandiseing. It’s one of the most successful franchises of all time.
