I use the dark theme of the Awful app, and I mark good posters using the app as I appreciate their posts. LAB's posts are correspondingly crimson as she is a good poster. Unread unmarked posters are grey and read unmarked posters are navy.

Ok, so I dunno where exactly to post this since there’s not really a whole lot of meta threads about SA in general, but I’m curious what the gently caress this dude I work was talking about.

Basically he’s some extremely online chudsworth who saw me post about on SA and then started telling me what a moron Lowtax was and guffawed that I would pay ten bucks to post, and I just kind of stared at him with a “what’s your point?” Look and then he started telling about some guy on twitter that him and his online buddies always make fun of, some dude named Matt Meyers? He apparently thought this dude was some big player in forums culture or something, but I have never heard of this guy? but it didn’t really make sense anyway, and sounded like what a person with schizophrenia sounds like when it’s just word salad. It seemed like some kiwi farms bullshit tbh

Sounds about right, a lot of people tend to be at least five years behind and assume some guy they hate for some reason they probably don't even remember must be some kind of major player. Mind you, SA is guilty of it too. Helldumping does terrible things to people.

Might be talking about this turd who lowtax did not make fun of even back when he was making GBS threads on alt righters on Twitter.

E: I've never seen the comicsgate wiki before but that page seems to take the stance that racism is bad and racists suck so it's probably fine.

Aerdan posted:

Diets don't work in the long term; the majority of people who attempt them return to their previous weight within five years; some of them even gain weight within five years. This includes calorie-counting, any fad diet you care to name (including the so-called 'Mediterranean' diet), glycemic indexing, WW/Weight Watchers, Jenny Craig, etc.Because, here's the problem: diets are you intentionally starving yourself, and the mechanisms involved (your hormones) absolutely do not give a flying gently caress—starvation kills temperature regulation and causes lethargy, cognitive impairment, and other problems. So people stop dieting after they guiltily eat a decent loving meal for once...and oops, all that suffering was for nothing.

Exercise won't cause you to lose weight, either, because the amount of exercise you do would need to be consistent and significant to offset the food you eat. A 20-minute walk burns about 100 calories, give or take. Eating a serving of beef jerky or a typical protein bar will wipe that out and then some. If you're overweight (let's say 250 lbs), you're gonna be loving miserable–which is why fat people don't tend to exercise.

Beyond all of that, obesity is not inherently unhealthy, as it turns out. Almost all of the health issues commonly associated with being fat are from being out of shape and from doctors ignoring overweight patients' concerns because obviously the knees, ankles and feet you wrecked in high school at 180lbs are because you're 250lbs today.
