The show OK KO! made fun of these kinds of stories - some idiot throws his empty cup on the floor right where Dendy is cleaning, and walks off smugly. Then later you see him on the phone trying and failing to embellish the story with a witty catchphrase and everyone clapping. He's so pathetic too, its just like "No, really. That's what happened" and the other guy is totally not buying it.

Splicer posted:If you have central heterochromia then which eye colour is more visibly prominent can change based on pupil dilation. But we're talking greeny brown vs browny green, not mood ring traffic lights in your face. I have central heterochromia. Until I hit puberty they were just dark blue, then the central heterochromia appeared and suddenly everyone was referring to my green eyes. They're still blue, but the gold makes them look green and it's easier to call them green than "like hazel but blue and gold instead of green and brown". It's weird to look at my school photos, and see one year they're dark pure blue and the next they look more teal and gold. Uh, and also they glint like diamonds when I get mad, and turn bright blue, almost glowing, when I'm telling off some bitch in line at Wal-Mart.

I have eyes like that and I just call them hazel on official stuff, because I realized you can just say whatever the gently caress you want on a driver's license and no one ever checks.

This is true. My driver's licence has had my weight from when I was sixteen for almost twenty years. I do not weigh what I did when I was sixteen. At one point I pointed out that wasn't right, and the clerk at the access centre waved it off and said not to worry about it. For the record, my license says I have blue eyes, but at least half the people I know would argue that my eyes are grey. No fancy colour-changing here, just an indeterminate in-between color that no one can agree on.

I remember telling the guy who was doing my dependent ID when I got married years ago my weight. He looked at me incredulously, and subtracted 10 pounds. I guess he thought I didn't know my own weight? I've always weighed more than I look like due to my body shape. It was still really weird.

I've been called overweight before by people who only know my height, weight, and what the BMI says they're supposed to be. Then they see me and I have a completely average body shape for someone 6'2 and even I can't find out where my weight is hiding.

Yeah, my BMI still shows me as overweight even though I'm at a perfectly healthy weight. I think nowadays that's partially because of the excess skin from a gastric bypass, but I would need to lose 20 lbs to get out of the overweight range (about halfway in between obese and healthy), which I'm pretty sure would be definitely underweight, even though the chart says I could lose another 50 lbs before that happened.

That’s why BMI was developed for studying population trends, and is barely useful for use on the individual level. Across bunches of people, it works very well.

BMI does a good enough job for the average person to get an idea of where they fall. And the people who don't fall under 'average' in this context(incredibly muscular or super tall/short people) already know it. Waist circumference and body fat % are still better if you want to know exactly where you fall, but BMI's fine for a quick estimate.

Araenna posted:You're probably better off looking in a mirror and making a guess honestly. Seriously, I agree that BMI isn't super ultra perfect accurate, but it's not as worthless as some people claim either. It's a quick, free screening tool to get a general idea of how fat/not fat you are, and does a decent enough job of that. If the number you get raises concerns or you don't believe it, you can follow up with more time/money intensive stuff to get a more precise evaluation. (Waist circumference is also quick and free, and is generally better than BMI, but it becomes even more useful combined with BMI. Might as well measure both.)

They only claim it's worthless because some people will cling to any excuse if it gets them out of having to commit to something, particularly weight loss and a healthy lifestyle. If they can go on believing they are healthy and not obese by dismissing BMI out of hand because "it doesn't work sometimes", they'll die on that hill (of fat).

They meant "Although it is your right" and not "For it is you right", correct? It seems like the person who wrote the letter to themselves was trying to be too proper and fancy (to drive home that they are being looked down on as a "hillbilly").

Yeah sure just keep defending an inaccurate chart for no reason when there's better ways for individuals to estimate. Using google and seeing the many, many articles that pop up about how inaccurate it is for individuals is apparently too hard. Edit: Didn't refresh like a moron, sorry for continuing the derail

The problem is most people who whine about BMI not being accurate don't search for anything more accurate. They just say "a number can't define me" and move on with their life and assume that just because it's not perfect it means they are healthy.

Zelder posted:Man this is the quintessential stupid rear end in a top hat post Who are you talking about, the one who said Americans can't tell what a fat person is, or the person who said that the only reason someone would say it's not good for an individual is because that person is a fat tubbo who can't accept reality? Let me be clear, I mostly agree with Haifisch. BMI is accurate enough for a quick estimate, and that people who are in unique situations that invalidate it are already aware of that fact. But let's not pretend that this one wasn't assholes all around.
