I know everyone likes to be mean, but let's be creative here: It's not just the stereotypical fat American. Look at our athletes and body builders, a lot of people who could possibly be in these terms are healthy by all metrics; some Americans are just taller and more muscular.

I'm not downplaying the obesity epidemic, but I feel like a more generic term is appropriate here.

God that whole interview was pathetic. It was obvious Alex was trying to do the dad talk with someone who just did not buy in.

I feel this, that menu was a favorite with times it rolled around.

Yeah, none of this is based in reality dude. Look at our movie stars, any magazine, and people on TV. This shit isn't normalized.

Alternatively: Capitalism has robbed the working class of any time for exercise while simultaneously pushing food that is dirt cheap to make with artificial additives that lead to excess consumption.

But that doesn't fit the convenient narrative of "it's all society's fault," which pushes all blame and need for action off the observer.

We call these sovereign citizens. They are a loosely connected group of conspiracy theorists who believe by invoking the correct legal terms, they can be covered by, but not behold to, the laws and regulations of the USA.

Sometimes it's just someone who doesn't want to pay taxes. Other times you get this, occasionally they do weird ass communes.

Yeah, I'm sitting here wondering how these people do things and enjoy life. Like, if people understood from a microbiology level how filthy literally everything is, they'd realize frankly none of it matters.

I disagree, I feel like this is an attempt to inject emotion and empathy into a topic that usually garners hostility. Think of the people usually reading The Wallstreet Journal: it's not anyone young you imagine, perhaps someone with terms like "commies" still in lingo from the 70s and 80s?

I read this as an attempt to humanize a group that their target audience would usually alienate. The photos help with generating those emotions.

It's been a minute since I heard a line from Goodburger

And the world was forever lighter for it.

It's a cannon event, we can't interfere.

So, the issue we see is that the republican party has often run democrats, and then had them flip to republican after election.

I don't trust most democrats either at this point.

I don't have to have a solution to see a problem .

Give up, these types never have any sort of thought to organization, they want to see tmstuff happen, but refuse to apply any effort or thought themselves.

Longtallsally sells women's clothing meant for us tall girls. I ordered stuff from them, usually off the discount.

You tube has guides for doing minor adjustments to things like jeans and simple shirts, you can do some quick and dirty alterations to help with things falling.

The Chronicles of Amber by Roger Zealazny is ripe for CGI heavy HBO treatment. I think it would be very well received at this day and age.

Has no one in this thread never considered the root cause with these:

Anxiety. Americans are an anxious society. And that is with good cause, no social safety net, work 2 jobs to get ahead and a mass shooting every goddamn day.

Goddamn what a fucking reddit comment chain.

Damn, am I the only Wenslwydale girl?

Yes, and while I will not die on that hill, I'll kill others on it.
