Yep, as the saying goes, living will kill you.

My approach is moderation. Enjoy life, enjoy those guilty pleasures, but, do it in moderation.

[–] spongebue@lemmy.world 25 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Everything in moderation, including moderation

[–] No_Eponym@lemmy.ca 5 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Right, so I should do some moderate excess then?

[–] MDCCCLV@lemmy.ca 5 points 1 week ago

Yes but avoid heroin. Some things are in excess even at the minimum possible amount.

[–] Thedogdrinkscoffee@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 week ago

I'll drink to that! (Or anything really)

Is that a saying? Does anyone other than yourself say it?

[–] CuffsOffWilly@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Yes. It’s a saying. All things in moderation including moderation.

[–] Fenrisulfir@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 week ago

Yes I’ve heard of that one but that’s not the “saying” we were talking about.

[–] iglou@programming.dev 2 points 1 week ago

I've heard it before, so I'd say yes.
