I think despite the downsides of the internet that it’s clearly overwhelming good for society.

The amount of landys I’ve seen off the road in snowy/icy conditions is hilarious.
I’d guess it’s a combination of them not being as good as their reputation and the false sense of security that they give the drivers.
I’ve seen house sparrows take a house Martin’s nest before, not sure if it was already abandoned or not.
It’s my opinion that a huge proportion of people that identify with Reform will get cold feet in the ballot box and decide to stick with what they know.
Of course not and that’s not what they’re saying. They’re saying that trying to outrun a bad diet is never going to happen.
You could run a marathon every day and then still gain weight because you ate three birthday cakes, five burgers a bucket of fries and a whole pizza for breakfast , lunch and dinner.
Enablers hate admitting it, but weight is lost in the kitchen.
If you want to lose weight, eat less, if you want you can also get fit. That’s the difference between being a healthy weight and being fit and healthy.
You don’t have to exercise to lose weight, you don’t even have to drastically change your diet.
Eat. Less.
You can lose weight on a diet of pizza, donuts and laying on the couch if you simply eat less calories than you burn.
You quite frankly sound like one of the many enablers that wants to make every excuse possible about why it’s impossible to lose weight rather than taking responsibility for the countless poor eating decisions that lead to obesity. No one is born fat and no one wakes up fat, take responsibility.
It’s like giving up smoking. A huge amount of smokers wish they didn’t, but they don’t stop until they say “enough is enough”, draw a line under it and commit to quitting instead of making 101 excuses about how hard it is.
I hope you get to your “enough is enough” point soon.
It also adds to the HAES bullshit. Being obese is unhealthy, that’s not up for debate.
Imagine if they had a smokers acceptance day where we all had to give them a pat on the back for damaging their lungs. It’s so stupid.
No one has to accept or celebrate your lifestyle they just have to tolerate it.
And as you’re saying, if you want to be super fat, good for you, but people are going to look and that’s not their problem.
I thought you were talking about disposable vapes, if not, apologies.
Devils advocate:
If you’re known as a guy that loves Pokémon cards and people keep gifting you Weedle’s (one of the lowest powered and most common cards in the game), then after a while you’re going to be like “thanks guys, I know you want to gift me and to not just throw the card away, but these are worth literally nothing to me because I already have much nicer examples and I don’t need/want/have room for them, I’d just be throwing them away myself”.
That’s not a very nice thing to say about Jacob.
At least halve the amount of ice-cream for it to look appetising to me.
How can you say it was one and not the other? I’d say it was more likely a bit of both.
I don’t disagree with what you’re saying, but whether you live in a capitalist, socialist, communist or what ever other types of economic systems are available, you need to be intellectually honest about what types of workers the society needs to be able thrive.
How many historians do you want qualified before you would say, “maybe we should incentivise people in to things like medicine or engineering”, a hundred thousand, a million?
Of course history is important, but there’s clearly a sensible limit to how many job opportunities there are for curators, archeologists, researchers, teachers etc.
In the UK, more or less fifty percent of young people have a uni level of education but there are not fifty percent of vacant jobs that require a degree level education. It might be absolute lovely that my barista has a history degree, but they could have joined the workforce several years earlier, have dozens of thousands pounds less in debt and still had the opportunity to study history in their own time.
To be fair, how many historians etc do you need to qualify every year?
What’s the point of studying something for years, getting in to dozens of thousands in student debt, potentially getting near the top of your field and then having to go work in a Starbucks because there are so few vacancies in your field?
I agree that these degrees are nice to have, but we should be honest with students in regards to the sort of lifestyle they can expect after they qualify.
Do you remember when their protest outside the HQ of BP made the news? Me neither, but I’m sure the high rollers on their 6, 7, 8 figure salaries felt terribly inconvenienced!
I don’t have to agree with their methods or their ideology to recognise their right to protest. We’re talking about dyed cornstarch here, it’s not like they blew the thing up.

I mean it’s not perfect, but it’s only going to get better.
