This is one of those things. It reminds me of how you see the store with a sign in the window saying "no underwear showing, pull your pants up!" because you know it's a problem lol they've been catching people lying about having disabilities and that's pathetic. I would love to have seen someone get caught doing that. Kind of like when somebody gets caught wearing a military uniform who isn't military, and they get rightfully shredded for it.

if you fat you fat its pretty simple

But this is oversimplifying it lol and missing the point.

I think it would be interesting to see the weight stats (including weight history) for those who agree/disagree with the point of this topic.

It's literally not constructive. Fat is fat. But acknowledging that something is reality can lead to you changing it (if you want)

I'm making assumptions here but this is much easier to say if you've never been overweight, or if you are overweight and have no interest in losing it for whatever reason.

It's like, I've never smoked or drank a day in my life but I always catch myself thinking "why can't you literally just quit cold turkey?" before I realize "right... it's not that easy for everybody." It's a crutch for sure, just like food can be. Some people eat to live, others live to eat. Eating is emotional. Take that away from someone who feels it's the only thing they have to look forward to, and you've made that person so depressed they're bound to fail.

Not to go on a tangent, but honestly most people think they have to deprive themselves by going on a restrictive diet. They often don't realize they can (and should) eat quite a lot, as long as they eat nutritious foods and generally stay away from sugary, fried, processed foods. It's all so much simpler than it's made out to be, and the same can be said about exercise. How much to do, what do to, and why. But doing the initial homework is frustrating for people because of all the different advice out there. Everybody saying "this doesn't work, do this", pulling people trying to find the answer in all different directions, instead of "this doesn't work for me because ______ , try this instead". People need to identify with someone who has figured it out so that they can figure it out themselves.

Same can be said about tough love vs. coddling when it comes to calling someone fat or simply overweight.

It's this. They took one terribly timed screenshot as proof that she's "ugly" and haven't shut up about it. They did the same thing with other games. Took one screenshot that made the character look bad and ran with it. But she looks fine.

There was even a topic here about it, but that TC started the topic and just never returned lol.

The "proof" they're using, for reference.

Yeah I remember that topic too. People also did the same thing with Aloy, in both games (especially FW).

Even factoring in the glitches and stuff...yes.

There really aren't many though. It's only the speedrunning crowd that knows about all that. I wouldn't say that counts because the average player isn't going to encounter much of anything.

That's a pretty healthy work lunch, right?

Pretty good, yeah.

Some people pack it with fruit and just because it's natural sugar doesn't mean it isn't still sugar lol you can definitely overdo it with fruit.

Yeah I love her 80s style, it's very apparent that's what they were going for. She's not ugly, nor is she beautiful, and that's just fine. She has a good balance for a character who is going to be in lots of action.

I think you are dishonest and literally just a troll.

I haven't had much direct interaction with TC. I don't mean to defend him or speak for him or anything like that. I certainly don't follow him around co-signing everything he says, I've seen a lot of his posts and I don't get this at all.

Maybe a misunderstanding.

Dont level up, abuse junctioning, play the card game without mixing rules with other areas, turn a blind eye to the annoying characters, and ignore the really dumb plot points.

10/10 game

Practically impossible in my experience.

I like it purely due to nostalgia, I have to admit.

LightningThief posted...

I think most here get his point. We just don't agree with the message as a whole.

We don't agree its helpful to pretend morbidly obese people aren't obese. Just like in the arguments of those that don't agree with the TC, we agree its not necessary to antagonize those who are obese.

But again where we don't agree is the idea that saying someone by definition is obese, that it's inherently malicious. We are making a nuanced point as well, we just don't see eye to eye.

That's what I'm saying. I think both sides are right in their own way. So it really is an "agree to disagree" type of thing.

Yazarogi posted...

I really despise the holier then thou attitudes CJ and his little packets have been shitting through not only on this thread but many others they run.

Youre all delusional.

What do you mean?

Sorry for the vague title but it would be way over 80/80.

Say you're really familiar with a character an actor plays. Take for instance Tom Hanks in The Burbs. Have you ever seen a later movie and tried to convince yourself that the character in the later movie was the same character, just later in life? For instance, Tom Hanks in Cast Away. They're very obviously not the same character but in my head I'll often say "Cast Away is just how his life ended up after the events of The Burbs" lol hopefully that makes sense. I've never verbalized this before, and I probably shouldn't have tried to.

It can be fun, sometimes it works better than others.

Sonny from Dog Day Afternoon found himself in Cuba as a result of his stint in prison (stretch but you never know) and turned into the Tony Montana character from Scarface. We never saw Sonny's parents or siblings, so for all we know he moved to NYC from Miami when he was young and used "Sonny" as an alias to start over in the big city. Sonny did have a wife and kids though. Tony Montana liked kids, probably because he missed his own from when he was Sonny. He was familiar with weapons already, understood money laundering because he worked in a bank. Neither character was super intelligent, but both were very street smart...

I have the exact same thoughts TC, except I didn't vote in 2016.

Not year round but certainly longer than they should.

In my defense, all of the pics I post here randomly pop up on my FB feed, and a lot of them are porn bot accounts that steal pics from instagram, etc, all under fake names. My feed is literally all ass, with some bonus boobs. I have no idea who any of these asses belong to.

Best one so far, jfc.

I wish I had the time to play a game like RS.

No way do I expect to be the one to make any sense of this for everyone after over 100 posts now, but moreso to clarify for myself what is being said here... This is going in circles and everyone's arguing semantics.

• We aren't advocating an unhealthy lifestyle. This has been made very clear.
• We shouldn't call someone "fat" if they have excess fat, just as we shouldn't call someone who drinks alcohol excessively and irresponsibly an "alcoholic".
• Some see that restriction as walking on eggshells, and tiptoeing around the harmful words - or not acknowledging it at all - is enabling more of the same behavior because it ignores a problem (although one that is usually not for us to prescribe a solution to).
• Others insist that using those words is like kicking people when they're down which may also cause more of the same behavior due to psychological stress (100% true).

I feel like the back and forth here is just a result of both sides being right because there isn't one size that fits all. Generally we can all agree when someone is grossly overweight, but who are any of us to be labeling others or telling people how to live their lives? Some people need the tough love, others believe that's harmful or just not even our place. I, like TC (and I also greatly contributed to the first weight loss social topic), have also been overweight. I made the excuses and I felt the anxiety it caused me, but I found my way out of that hole with the right guidance and enough trial and error.

Weight loss advice is a perfect example of how not every approach works for everyone, and yet if you simplify it enough, it can seem to be that way. "Don't be lazy, just eat right and work out every day!" But that's a monumental task for some people who don't know how to muster the willpower to do so. I think one of the reasons it worked for me was that I spent years inching in the right direction until I finally found a guy on YouTube who made it all make sense to me. There's a saying, "when the student is ready the teacher will appear." Sometimes people need to try things their way and figure out what doesn't work on their own before they're ready to accept help, even subconsciously. But I digress.

TC's heart is in the right place of course, but I believe he's trying to make a very nuanced point to a pedantic group of cynics.

I know that I have a health topic for those interested in weight loss, and I welcome anyone who wishes to join. However, I feel its important to share a message for anyone who might need to hear it, and everyone on the board. Whether youre 50, 100, or 300 pounds overweight, please remember: You are not fat. You have fat. Fat does not define you; it is not your personality, nor is it an intrinsic part of who you are. Its simply something that you carry with you. If fat were truly a part of your identity, it would imply it is permanent, but thats not the case. You can shed fat, but you cant lose what truly makes you, you. So rest assured, you are not fat. And for those trying to lose keep going. Remember the only easy day was yesterday. But the goal is worth it.

Right, you aren't fat if you have fat. You're overweight if you have fat.

"Your best thinking got you here."

I understand your point but lets not sugar coat anything, pardon the pun.

...I'm not so sure about post 65? lol

Dude lol

Randy fucking drilled him too, that RKO was done with purpose. And that Sparta kick was no joke either, no wonder his ribs hurt.

I didn't like Randy growing up but I think he's a badass nowadays tbh.

I have one good friend aside from my gf (and work friends) and tbh that's all I need. We've been friends about 10 or 11 years now I think, he's like a brother to me and vice versa.

I really enjoyed Papa Johns years ago when I ate it regularly. I'm talking like 10 years ago, every few weeks for months. I was just bored of local places basically, which I admit are better.

But about 3 years ago maybe, my gf and I were staying at a hotel and decided on Papa Johns for dinner. We ordered a pizza with some kind of special crust, I think it was garlic parm? Holy shit.

We both sort of tasted something funny but didn't place what it was until about halfway through when we realized kind of at the same time that what we were tasting was that stomach acid aftertaste you get after vomiting, and I mean it was uncanny how spot on that was. It was the crust. I've never had garlic parm crust on a pizza before, but I've had garlic parm sauce on chicken, and it never tasted like that.

I've been put off Papa Johns ever since lol who knows if it was a one-off thing, maybe not. Hell I'd obviously never have to get that crust again either, but that's what I'll always think of.

Lmfao the eggs splattered next to the nest. "It seems like."

What a rollercoaster this thread has been.

I'm a Fender man myself. I've got a sunburst Strat and black Tele cabronita, which is like a regular Tele with an attitude. But I recently became obsessed with my buddy's Gibson Explorer, which he's letting me hold on to indefinitely until he finds a better apartment. I can't put it down.

I also have his Gibson Les Paul and Firebird, both of which I'm not really into. Beautiful as they are, I don't like how it feels to play them. Particularly the Firebird, which seems to fight me. That Explorer though, chef's kiss baby. Holy shit is it nice.

I just learned the Hollywood sign is 101 years old. I knew it used to say Hollywoodland, although I didn't realize it has been Hollywood since 1949. In 1978 the original was replaced to be more durable. Apparently it was originally placed as an ad for a local real estate development but it was obviously left up because it became famous.

Neat.

When you go back. Do more training on technique for the first month or two. The reason, you want to create a habit, your muscle memory will start developing, your body will adapt to the form. When you think you are ready, do pyramids as sets. Check your form and balance.

This is what I always say but people get bored. Two months on technique and form will save you headaches. Proper form will always outclass the weight applied.

Agreed

Dishonored, Bioshock, Hollow Knight, and eventually MGS3 remake (never played OG) are on my list.

Congrats, keep us updated on the procedure and healing process if you don't mind. I'm curious how that all works.

The only one that sticks out in my memory is the one where there was a painting of a white bird on a cliffside or something? I don't even remember the story of it. But I remember liking that one. If someone happens to find it please link to me.

Be safe, good luck.

I love how red seems like the danger color and it's barely halfway up the danger scale. Pink purple and blue are worse than red since when?

I think I'd be a good dad but I don't really want to be. In my heart I know that. But I don't suppose I'd be upset if it were to happen. Just afraid.
