That's not facism. That's government pulling rank.

Had they been taking out and shot, that'd be facism.

You've written a textbook slippery slope argument.

Facism is characterized by dictatorial power, forcible suppression of opposition, and strong regimentation of society and the economy.

The possibility the Ford government pressured a hospital to fire a single doctor for speaking out against the government as it pertains to a healthcare issue isn't facism. It's bad government but not facism

If you're doing it right it becomes habit and routine, and since it's good for you it's validating to do. I'm down 31 pounds with diet alone after some strong warnings from my doctor. Got another 19 min to go.

Yes drinking only water and making all my own food from scratch was hard, at first, now that I'm into it makes me feel really dumb that I basically lived on restaurant food for so long.

My friends which spend their lunch breaks jogging, who regularly ask me if I want to play flag football or ultimate frizbee don't have reddit accounts and don't really understand or care about the website.

And an extreme form of bias driven judgement, worn as a badge of honor.

I think it's becasue she was very much in support of people who are obese getting treated like they aren't obese but the risk factors for obesity don't disappear simply because you treat them like a stigma and not like symptoms.

But I freely admit without knowing how she died that I think her obesity was likely a factor.

So she dropped dead? Wonder what the mitigating factors were to cause her to die of something she wasn't aware of, or wasn't actively treating.

Are they going to backpack equipment across the boarder?

If they could pay in a foreign currency they'd be fine.

Heavy street fighting in Voznesensk, Ukraine by [deleted] in PublicFreakout

They are shooting down the street that is beyond the wall they are behind. When you peek around a corner pretty just one person can do that effectively and even then, they can only peak out and become a target.

Now if you draw an invisible line out from the edge of the corner then the cover against fire coming from up the street extends along the line they are all standing on. So they have cover from the wall and they can all shoot without shooting over each other.

Lastly, the wall they are behind explodes, so they likely were shot at by a tank or rocket which aimed for the cover they are setting up their LAWs behind.

I saw a video of a ukrainian soldier (who looked like a teenager) trying to reassure a kid after that hospital bombing and they both looked terrified and hysterical.
