These high-G injections have some serious side effects after pulling so many jumps.

There are some parts of the fat acceptance movement I can get behind, like having exercise and yoga classes specifically for fat girls like me. But the whole "perfect at any size" crap makes me think of the pro-anorexia garbage at the other end of the spectrum. Both sides think the extreme is okay when it really isn't.

EDIT: need some awkward for new page. How 'bout two female entrepreneurs having to create a third male cofounder to get around industry sexism?

This? This right here?

This is the sort of "I'm the exception" bullshit that keeps fat people fat, goddamn it. Your fat cells aren't malfunctioning and you're not "metabolically disprivileged," you just didn't stick with your diet/exercise combo for long enough for your body to realise what your brain was trying to get it to do.

Serious congrats on taking charge of your health and making those changes. Healthy weight loss is hard but must be even harder when you're surrounded by messages that you're somehow being untrue to yourself by losing weight.

That's the killer. You're only being untrue to yourself if you're uncomfortable and not trying to fix it. Weight loss is actually really easy, it just takes significantly more time than you might think.

why doesn't he rewire his brain so he has the self control to lose weight? is it because he can only do it once and he doesn't want to waste it on not being fat?

This one brings me back to when I'd get dragged along with morbidly obese friends when they'd be hitting the antique/thrift stores looking for rockabilly style clothes and how livid they'd get that clothes from the 50s and early 60s just didn't exist in a modern XXXXX size and they'd be better off just finding sewing patterns and have stuff custom made. Christ, what the hell is it with rockabilly fashion being such a magnet for the morbidly obese?

They're charging 8-10 each for crap like enamel pins and iron-on patches. Even if production costs are on the artist, that's a pretty good cut.

He adopts an extreme interpretation of utilitarianism which, as far as I remember, culminated in his argument that it would be morally right and desirable for one person to be tortured for eternity to prevent 1,000 people from getting a grain of sand in their eye.

He thinks a lot of grains of sand in a lot of eyes is worse than the rape-torturing of humanity by robots (whom you should worship, lest you get rape tortured)
