Why do people always say size 2 when hating on thin people? 2 isn't the only "skinny people" size, and honestly, with vanity sizing being what it is in the States, just about anyone can be a 2 if they go to the right store.

There is nothing wrong with being a size 2, bitches. Don't expect me to empathize with your problems when each and every one of you talk poo poo about my size. :colbert:

A friend of mine posted the following on facebook today:

"While I haven't been able to keep from posting football stuff, I *have* been successful in cutting down dramatically on the number of political posts.

Today is election day though. I sincerely urge everyone to actually read facts, and more importantly the ***PROS*** of each candidate, before going out to vote. READ the facts, by the way, don't let a deluge of completely skewed commercials warp reality for you. The majority of media is under the control, influence, or pay of a certain political organization. Find the facts for yourself. Think for yourself. Don't let your friends pressure you into a mindset, and certainly don't let some outside organization with an agenda strong-arm you into a certain vote. This is America. We all originally came here to be free-thinkers, not whip-driven yes-men with no voice."

While I admire the basic premise of the message, he just had to get in that dig at the media. He "likes" a lot of those crackpot tea party things as well, which is essentially the same thing as posting, just without having to worry about other people calling him an idiot for it.

Pretty sad, he's a really nice guy in person.

Well, he is partly right. A large portion of media is under the influence of a certain political organization. Just, that organization is the GOP and their donors.

That's the great thing about right-wing conspiracy nuts. They're right, but in exactly the wrong direction they think they are.

Ah, yes. My uncle is a goldmine for this. He's a closet racist (who moved to Switzerland) who frequently posts the UK equivalent of ARE TROOPS because he was in the RAF.

As a sparky. A civvie. You wouldn't know it from the way he posts, though. You'd think he literally was the entire SAS. Hopefully he'll deliver for the thread soon...

Just wait a few months until the presence of a small flower shaped pin on your jacket defines you as a FUKKIN TAIG TERRORIST or a TROO BLOODED IRISH PATRIOT M8 depending on whose drunk uncle is posting on Facebook.

I have encountered the phenomenon of going into a store and finding nothing that fit because all the clothes were too big due to vanity sizing. I normally wear a 4-6 and the size 2 pants were falling off and had to go all the way down to the one pair of 00 pants in the store to find a pair that fit. It should not be a goddamn challenge for people with normal BMIs to find clothes that fit in regular stores.

I'd like to have "thin and short" stores like the big and tall stores but I'm sure that'd draw the wrath of fatties everywhere.

That's just shorter versions of the "straight sizes" 0-16 (or 00-14); the waists and hips usually aren't smaller.

Everything about women's clothing sizing is ridiculous and makes no sense.

This is absolutely a thing that happens. I was in a Skype call for a D&D game I was running and I casually dropped "isn't it election day today for you guys?" for the Texan player and he just laughed a lot and said he didn't keep track of that kind of thing and he had no idea.
