From the article:

People who live with diet-related diseases, especially obesity, usually have a strong feeling of guilt, thinking they are the problem due to their own lack of willpower. Researchers now know this isn’t true. This food has been engineered to be addictive. We need to shift the blame away from the population.

Just a detail, but yes! Legislators, please help our society to not suffer under the downsides of capitalism.

In my experience, lemmy.ml and feddit.de (for example) are in more left wing then milquetoast progressives. It's faszinating and refreshing, and I don't mind people speaking their minds. But I prefer moderate, too.

I would rather say that the average Redditor is milquetoast progressive. Heck, I start to really enjoy this phrase 😉.

No, what I meant was a fixed interest rate over 10 years (German: Zinsbindung). The loan is over ~30 years.

After 10 years, we can decide if we change the lender or stay with them. The lender can decide on a new interest rate.

I still have my Reddit account with ~20 multireddits and countless subs. I enjoy the new experience on kbin and Lemmy, but I also miss my niche subreddits and the weird awe that I get occasionally from the mainstream subs.

I hope the typical offsite humour and the in-depth discussions will also migrate to kbin and Lemmy.

In the meantime, I urge everyone to create magazines for their niche interests to prepare this platform for more exiles and give them a homely start 👍

To be fair, many bots don't know how to use it either.

Germany. We got our loan in 2018 for 1.78%. A friend of mine even negotiated 1.4%. However, we have a loan term length (is that the word?) of 10 years, so let's hope rates will be low again in 2028.

Edit: It's a fixed interest rate over 10 years. Zinsbindung in German.
