    Just FYI, I’m not sure if this is a joke or not, but it’s not appreciated. I’ve had issues in the past, and still do some, about feeling too skinny. This was not me bragging, and I’ve gotten it a lot in the past that people treat it as something good, while I struggle with it. Would you say the same to an overweight person who is trying to not be overweight?

      There are a lot of fat people who use Lemmy and they take it very personally when someone doesn’t shovel as much food in their gut as they do, take it as a compliment. Skinny people live longer.

        I’m in the “healthy” BMI range, thank you. I just hate having to work to maintain that. I would love to shovel as much food in my gut as I want; I spend most of the time thinking about my next meal. But I also understand that being overweight is a huge predictor of lots of other issues and like you said, an early death.

          Sorry I’ve been dealing with other people who want to try to tell me that taking a drug to make your dick work is equivalent to lifestyle changes like taking fucking vitamins. Made me very salty, and my fiery gaze transfixed onto you. Again, I’m sorry.
