That picture is, but lipedema is a real condition that has less to do with obesity and more to do with a combination of genetics, hormones, stress, and other factors still being sorted out. The lady in purple probably has lipedema (and maybe Cushings based on the humped back). Apparently even if a patient is obese and loses weight it's primarily lost in the upper body with little change to the lower, even with bariatric surgery.

Yes, the only way to get rid of the large masses is by surgery or liposuction. :ohdear:

A libertarian convention let basically anybody go up to give a speech for nomination. Or something similar to that; they basically did the whole "we won't deny anybody the microphone" thing and let anybody go up to try to get votes who wanted to.

So that husky bearded guy said "I'd like to campaign!" and instead went up on stage and did a strip tease until they shooed him away. It's as hilarious and awkward as it sounds.

It was the official Libertarian Party national convention, during the time that the people campaigning to be party chair were goven opportunities to make speeches. This was apparently this dude's "speech". He got two votes.

P sure that is the same dude in a previous pic where he's posing in the Walmart break room to show off his "brony" tattoo.

Yes, it is. There's a third photo of him that often gets shared as well, but "scrawny brony in fedora" somehow didn't turn it up.

Still makes me laugh that Sinn Fein representatives had to have their voices dubbed by law on the news. As if hearing Gerry Adams real voice would have converted the whole of the UK to his point of view. Good times, good times.

The idea was to keep them from sending coded messages with pauses, throat-clearings, and the like, I thought?

I was very disappointed when I finally heard Gerry Adams's actual voice. It was like the end of a childhood era.

Always wondered what was with the mottled purple/pink parts of fat (white) people.

Are they massive stretch marks or something?

Lipedema or lymphedema with accompanying venous insufficiency. Fun fact: if it's lipedema, losing weight won't reduce the size of those fat masses; they have to be surgically removed.

How exactly does the "atheist Jew" part work

My father-in-law belonged to a "secular Jewish" community, and at least for them it meant "have potluck Shabbat dinner in the basement of a Unitarian church, and replace all references to God and Torah in the prayers with the word 'tradition'."

The average age of this group is about 80.

Well of course I disagree with every Nazi, come the gently caress on.

Yes, but you disagree with other people, too. Like, flat-Earthers aren't necessarily Nazis. Or those shoeless dudes who tell you weed cures cancer, they definitely aren't Nazis.

I generally think people who say they're Nazis, who display Nazi symbols, who quote Hitler, and who shout "Sieg Heil!" are Nazis. Maybe that's just me, though.
