Americans will call this a hate crime.

Excuse me sir but you're above the weight limit ... you may either pay an adjusted fee ... or we amputate two limbs

American rubbing his chin: .....mmmmmm ... I don't know .... hmmmm?

How much extra do they charge for the amputations?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 9 months ago (2 children)

I mean Finland has universal healthcare right? Probably cheaper to go for the amputations, if so.

Only costs you an arm and a leg.

Or I was thinking about if it was in America

What, a FREE AMPUTATION!?!? That'd be seven digits normally!

[–] [email protected] 3 points 9 months ago

six digits if you have shitty health insurance ... five digits if we get a really good vet ... four digits if we do it right here

Free and instant weight loss, can't complain.

The article says it's voluntary

It's tricky, right? It's hard as hell not to eat when you're hungry, but if you're objectively bigger and harder to move it's a lot to ask of everyone else to pay the difference.

I don't really buy that it's hate just to point out that a bariatric person is different, and in a usually-bad way. On the other hand, there's a ~100% chance some of the people that used to be on r/fatpeoplehate are now very fat.
