Meh, I just looked it up and it's about 800 miles / <1300km from Cairo (which is shorter than the distance between the north and south borders of California). Not exactly in Africa, but close enough for my point - especially since my country is known for not even being able to find Canada on a map, what with it being tucked away down there

Steve Nash is the ugliest man on earth. I don't know who Jason Richardson is, but he did the Nash family a favor.

If we're really going by the ol' Out of Africa theory, then the "Africa" everyone comes from is closer to Chad or Kenya, where catarrhine primates emerged. If we're going by a more potentially accurate hypothesis, early primates (and therefore proto-hominoids) came from Western Asia and Europe into Africa. (I fully realize that I am biased, having studied under David Begun, but he's also a huge asswipe, so I may not be as biased as you might think.)

And that first primate was...Albert Einstein.

I was nearly killed in a hit and run by a fatophobe.
Seriously. She saw me coming and sped up, When I moved out of the way (and screamed at her), she leaned her head out of the window and screamed “FAT BITCHES LIKE YOU NEED TO STAY OUT OF THE STREET AND BE REMOVED FROM THE WORLD”.
Then she revved her engine and screamed “I WOULD HAVE DONE EVERYONE A FAVOR HERE IF I’D RUN YOU DOWN LIKE i SHOULD HAVE”.
She she drove off after throwing water at me.

I’m seriously trying to stop myself from breaking poo poo right now. Can I emphasize the fact that THIS WOMAN TRIED TO KILL ME BECAUSE OF MY SIZE?

Thin privilege is knowing that some poo poo like THAT would never happen to you.

What really happened, I'm sure:

Fat person is walking in the road and doesn't pay attention to a car coming. Car has to slow down and honk. Fat person moves off the road slowly. Driver yells "Learn to get your fat rear end out of the road!".

I can't fathom it at all! What position would she be squatting in, wearing pants, that her tampon string could be hanging out? Was the tampon string several feet long? Did she bust her pants wide open and somehow not notice?

This stdh is weirding me out. If the string was supposed to be something else, I'm even more confused.

The only other option I can think of is that she's English, where pants=underwear and she was wearing a skirt. But that makes her incredibly stupid as well, because what else would a string hanging out of your underwear be?

Also every brand of tampon I've ever used has a loop of string rather than just a plain hanging string, whether it's two strings knotted together or just an unknotted loop. Not to mention they hang like two inches maximum so I mean. Like, point is that a tampon string looks distinctly different from any other string in all brands I can envision.

Now it doesn't say she pulled the whole thing out, which would have been even more STDH because it's not like the things come popping out like Pez candy.

I guess this would explain the tampons that appear in weird public places, but, I mean, no, no it would not.

Fativism.

quote:

Bigotry Comes In All Shapes And Sizes
Retail | USA | Bigotry, Health & Body

(I work in a store that sells only plus-sized clothing. There are signs about it throughout the store, and the sizing system is clearly different from other stores. A pair of very skinny girls walk in.)

Girl #1: “Whoa, look at all the fat people in here.”

Girl #2: “Dude, shut up.”

Girl #1: “What? I can outrun them if I have to.”

(I approach them before Girl #1 causes any trouble.)

Me: “Hello, ladies. Is there anything in particular I can help you find? Looking for a gift for someone?”

Girl #1: “Yah, where are your leggings?”

Me: “They’re right over here on this rack.”

Girl #1: “What’s this? 1X? 2X?”

Me: “That’s the plus size sizing system.”

Girl #1: “Do I LOOK like I’m OBESE?!”

Me: “I assumed you were in here buying for someone else.”

Girl #2: “[Girl #1], I told you this is a plus-size store.”

Girl #1: “So you don’t have a size two?”

Me: “No. Like your friend said, we only sell plus-sized clothing.”

Girl #1: “This is discrimination against people who actually CARE about their bodies! You should carry NORMAL clothes too!”

(Another customer overhears her little outburst.)

Customer: “You really don’t have to shop here, kid.”

Girl #1: “Well, maybe I wante—”

Customer: “I’m sick of hearing that sort of attitude. I go to any other clothing store, and I can’t find anything that’s my size because I’m too big. There are dozens of stores at this mall that sell your size, but only one the sells mine. Guess what, kiddo? I didn’t CHOOSE to be fat! I have a genetic disorder that causes me to gain weight no matter how much I work out.”

Girl #2: “Come on, let’s just go elsewhere. I’m so sorry for my idiot friend’s behavior.”

Girl #1: “Why are you standing up for them?”

Girl #2: “You know I used to weigh twice what I do now. I worked my a** off to lose over 100 pounds. I don’t see why the f*** we even came in here! I told you we wouldn’t find anything! So cut it with the fat discrimination and let’s go elsewhere, you idiot!”

(Girl #2 came back later to apologize again.)

The reality of the situation:

A girl walks into a plus-sized store. She asks if they have anything in size two. When informed it is a plus-sized store, the girl is embarrassed, thanks the employee and leaves.

I like how no matter what, every single time, without fail, every SINGLE fat protagonist or prota-supported fat person in stdh ALWAYS has 'a disease' instead of just admitting they're a lazy fat rear end. Seriously, I know people with thyroid conditions and the like, and shock horror at worst they're slightly overweight. Surprising that.
