Oh yes!
Currently down from 160 to 100kg (350 to 220lbs) and almost everyone is treating me differently. Many people didn’t make eye contact with me either on the street or in shops, some were visibly unconfortable (or slightly afraid). I had remarks all the time about how big (not fat, just imposing) I was.
Now cashers smile at me, people on the street are more friendly. It’s night and day and it saddens me in a way. I didn’t lose weight for appearence reason but for my health, and to see for the first time how people are (were towards me) judgmental is kinda sickening.
I just though people are sometimes a bit cold but never really associated it with my weight.


This was at least true until August 20th, 1909 [source]


At first, people used itinirary (to go to Rome, first go to PlaceX, then PlaceY, etc)
Maps of the time, when they existed, where merely illustrations, with fictionnal places sprinkled in.
Then some attempts mesured distances between places by counting step, and overall direction. This is why most maps before 1000ce are really strange looking, but you can guess what they represent using the name of places.
With the invention of things like the astrolab, people where able to mesure both distances and more precise direction, giving birth to triangulation, which was used until the invention of GPS
You are sick… and I love it!

A tip I’ve seen online is to keep a gaming journal. After you finish a session, write what you accomplished and what you want to do the next time. Then every time you are a bit bored or have time to kill, look at your journal and flip through your started games. Works like a charm for mr at least.
Lemmy is a federated platform where each instance is run independently but can interact with all the other ones. lemmy.org is such an instance.
Your account is on it (written sulegulmen@lemmy.org) but I (KubrickFR@lemmy.world) can see and reply to your post on the community c/asklemmy (similar to r/something on Reddit)
Hope this is useful, I’m no expert…


I use it for books/movies/music/games recommandations (at least while it isn’t used for ads…). You can ask for an artist similar to X or a short movie in genre X. The more demanding you are the better, like a “funny scifi book in the YA genre with a zero to hero plot”.
