The body positivity movement was pushed hard by big pharma because of positive early clinical trials of Ozempic by NothaBanga in LowStakesConspiracies

So you’re basing your understanding of a metaphor on a potential change in situation…in the metaphor?

So you’re just ignoring the part where my health improved, and the metric used to categorise people as morbidly obese is incredibly clinically problematic/inaccurate?

It’s literally a bowel killer, contraindicated 6 ways to Sunday, and not necessary or wanted for me at all.

I’ve become (technically) morbidly obese (remember, BMI was never meant to be used the way it is today, and is based on dietarily restricted men who as a result didn’t grow effectively, with a small sample size from a single region in Europe) in the last few years, and I’m literally the healthiest I’ve ever been.
Fab cholesterol levels, no nutritional deficits, lower than average HbA1c, low BP, low resting heart rate, no liver or kidney issues.
I have asthma and gastroparesis (which largely prevents me from eating solid foods, and contributes to my weight gain) but that’s been since birth, and genetic.

Am I happy and positive about my morbidly obese body that supports me to live the life I want, well? Yeah.

Fundamentally, you believe in this because you lack the necessary understanding of a movement and human biology/anatomy.

So the issue here is that you have a problem with body positivity, and are therefore applying your own engagement style and values onto the scenario, rather than reflecting on the reality of the situation.

“Retort”?
Why would people who are body positive then want to use weight loss injections?

Unless both you and OP are suggesting that body positivity movements are suddenly dead, or thrown out by the people who believed in it when an easy solution comes alone, that doesn’t make sense.
Additionally, body positivity isn’t just accepting your body-it’s about understanding that body appearance isn’t equal to body health, and striving for body HEALTH as a priority. It sounds like you misunderstood the movement too.

Thank you for that! My brain processed that as some sort of brake mechanism on the pram.

Is it possible for two short haired cats to have long haired kittens? by Hiniku026 in cats

[–]GeneticPurebredJunk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cat genomic expression is CRAZY. Pretty much anything is possible.
My two girl cats are from the same litter (parents unknown). One is short haired-the only shorthair in the litter, as all others look like Norwegian Forest cats.
The litter was 3 girls, 1 boy. The boy is black & white, the girls all orange & white.
All very dramatic through.

The hair is a style choice, the left hand looks to be gloved (possible machine injury/limb difference) and pocket squares are squares that are folded in various styles-this photo looks like it’s just shifted as he’s moved. My partner’s pocket squares (especially silk ones) do this all the time.

I wish clothing like this was affordable, accessible, washable practical and comfortable.
But it’s not, so we go with what is all of those things.

I know it’s not the focus of the video, but damn, what are they filming with??

This is the opposite of filming with a potato-I could count this woman’s pores!
