    I do agree that if you are obese and have unrelated medical issues the doctors will very much say “you need to lose weight”, and call it done. And that is x10 if you are a woman, for some reason. Yeah, these problems may not be so bad if I was not obese, and they may not have existed is I wasn’t (bulging disks my back, in my case etc.), but the truth is, I am fat, I still need my problems fixed, go ahead and do the surgery to trim the disk that is pinching my nerves to fix my back because otherwise I can’t move and I will just get fatter and my back will just get worse. Perpetually.

    It is just laziness and they have a blanket scapegoat to use to get out of doing their job if you walk in and are overweight.

    It’s quite literally the medical term… i… I am an obese man, I am an obese man mostly of my own doing, their might be some psychological or socioeconomic reasons, but it’s mostly the fact that food is good, exercise sucks, and impulse control. I wasn’t born this way, I wasn’t treated as nonhuman for something beyond my control, and obese is not used for the sole purpose of being derogatory.

    Those two words are very, very different. Even if you are obese because of a thyroid, or injury, or whatever, a doctor can, and will call you obese in your medical reports. And if you can’t handle that because you can’t handle that slight uncomfortability, no wonder you are still obese.



  • Not too bad now days with SSDs and fast boot, but back in the day that may have been a 15+ minute mistake. Getting into windows took several minutes and you would still have several minutes of nearly unresponsivness as background processes booted, including your anti-virus. Usually you clicked the power button and waked away for a bit. And the trick to speeding up your pc was to dig into the startup folder and delete as many programs as possible so they wouldn’t start at boot, because for some reason everything wanted to.

    Isn’t your phone far more connected to your identity than your car? As in, if your worried about Toyota or Ford tracking your vehicles driving statistics it seems using GPS and wifi and Bluetooth on your phone that also has all your payment info, browsing history, and all your passwords saved defeats the entire purpose of worrying about your car. However, at least your phone gives you a benefit to using it like navigation and music, your car just mines your location data.



  • God damn, I hate him reguardless. But sometimes you forget how absurd it is. He started and endorsed a riot that stormed the capital with gallows, pressured the vice president not to certify an election that was obviously legit. Then supposedly Pence was afraid to get into a ss car because he knew his safety was in question.

    That’s fucking insane. It’s fucking insane how obvious it is that he is trying to undermine America and its institutions, its government, its "democracy ". He’s not even trying to hide it. It’s his rallying cry. In the country that his party pretends to love.

    And whats even more insane is here we are, in a situation where we are worried about half the country voluntarily wanting it to happen.

    I am as apathetic as they come about our broken system. I want the whole thing to burn down and rebuild, but not by handing the keys over to a tyrant. There is no rebuilding after that. Not in my lifetime.





  • Mainly they make diesel engines. Dodge pickups that have a diesel, have a Cummins engine. They may use third party parts to make a generator with their name on it, but the engine is a Cummins. I would guess thar the op picture is some other brand of generator that advertises that the generator is powered by a Cummins engine. Cummins has a reputation of being one of the more dependable diesel engines.
