SUPERMAN'S GAL PAL posted: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.

ToxicSlurpee posted: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. 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.

Sunswipe posted: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.

Sic Semper Goon posted:Always wondered what was with the mottled purple/pink parts of fat (white) people. 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.

The average age of this group is about 80.

Picnic Princess posted: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.
