Who else tipped their toes into radicalisation by how cringe this backlash and gamergate were? Like I didn’t play videogames for years out of embarrassment for even remotely associated with this.

Within ecological limits I guess? That is the only real cause for concern with whatever gets you nerds hot - renewables or nuclear. Storage is necessary for both intermittant and the category of 24x7 until it's not and suddenly you have to have 1.6GW types of power generation. And from the wikipedia articles I have skimmed pump hydro is the gold standard.

China trying I guess? They are more invested in fast reactors and light water reactors and see them as purely experimental considering what happened in Germany with the THTR.

It’s bad when the toxic family and friends give better contextual advice.

Don’t want to scare you off getting help. A lot of Dr Phil’s to sieve your way through.

Don’t be too humble. Many of them need more help than that patient. So many going to therapy themselves and think “hey I can do that too”.

Idk about anybody else but CBT amounts to some sneering fuck saying “just stop thinking that” for a couple of days wages.

I did say that we should ban that shit being mass produced.

While not calling for an “alliance” with the fat acceptance “movement” from which I can tell is a long gone movement in the 70s and some instagram accounts. It mostly exists in the imagination of chuds.

If telling them getting off the junk was going to work it would have worked. Same with smokers. You have to deal with all people as they are. Unique and complex neurological train wrecks that will sniff paint cants and chew lead paint if there was nothing better is available to temporarily escape the human condition. Change the environment as much as possible but people are going to find ways to fuck themselves up and socialism will just need to scale with it.

Child obesity is a a horrible byproduct of the collapse of social reproduction and advertising that affects the poorest and minorities first. Just calling it abuse is dangerous when we need real solutions like reduced working hours, healthy communal meals, sports programs for all.

Or to be treated like an invalid for falling behind on these milestones. I have to suppress so much rage when somebody condescendingly congratulates me for only being able to buy a car in my 30s or tells me I am must be narrow minded because I don’t travel.

Conservatives and libs still wonder who would want to repeat the terror of the first French Revolution when it achieved so little. Except for you know their burkean ptsd that brought us our meagre wins. Subject to geography of course.

And the levels of disability from bad spinal health and joint injuries. The bullshit they can lose the weight if they get off the scooter that saved them from becoming a shut-in.

Would even go so for to say a lot of the “treats” as hexbear often put them should probably be banned from production and just be something home made. At least effort is involved then to make stuff at home and with won’t be engineered with the sweetness bite point that makes easier large quantities of ultra processed foods.

Obesity is a such a deceptive disease. The majority of people regain significant or even more weight after losing it, even with surgery and the long term dependency on drugs to maintain loss is very telling.

We need better quality food, much more physical activity and a far less chemicals in our everyday lives but shaming fat people is so much more idealistic than the fat acceptance everybody dunks on. The material reality is so much more grim when people are going to just regain weight again.
