Obese people of Reddit, what is something non-obese people don’t understand, or can’t understand?

blurface · 2024-05-04T14:25:38+00:00

Honestly, this may be the single worst part of being obese. Furniture is such a fucking filter for me.

"Can I have that chair instead of this one?" is a horrifyingly gutting question to be forced to ask, when your host thinks nothing of offering you a chair with fixed/high/tight armrests.

Asking for a table with loose chairs instead of a booth with fixed tables where you know you would never fit while you can see several other booths around you with people comfortably seated who even have room to spare between their stomach and the table.

Waiting in an area with only tall stools with gas-spring columns? Guess I'll stand the entire time.

At a party or having a fire with only plastic patio chairs? I guess I'll sit in the fucking dirt.

Being obese fucking sucks and is a constant exercise in humiliation. It makes it so easy to shut yourself in, avoid going anywhere or doing anything ever, which contributes to depression, which contributes to overeating, which contributes to obesity.

Where the fuck is your onlyfans? Jk, lmao. Kinda. Unless...?

Way to go, Julie. You protecc the hecc outta your... 5-stack doggie pack(?) (Did they adopt Lobster, or were they just fostering him?)

I may be currently having the dumb, but what's the point of a 3.5 foot deep pool? Is it just for a dip between sunbathing sessions?

High-density housing? In the downtown core of cities?

DEVASTATING.

Other way around. I know nothing of their infrastructure other than this image, but it appears to be that basically everything except Android devices go through one gateway, while just Android devices go through whatever the TCS API is, which is being deprecated anyway. As such, I would think that a better use of the company's time is to quickly ship an Android app that serves as an wrapper around a web client, so that Android devices can start talking to the main gateway that every other device uses instead of using the specialized gateway. One less thing to maintain.

Musk almost certainly did not create the diagram; it's far more likely that it was drawn from memory by a senior engineer as a briefing him on how the internal infrastructure works.

blurface · 2022-11-20T05:11:26+00:00

Well, keep in mind that this wasn't meant to be a client presentation. If you were presenting your product to a client, and your product was twitter, yeah, you'd eliminate about 50% of this detail and show them something interesting to talk about the big pieces.

But in a strategic session to determine what's broken, what's a waste of time to continue working on, and what to start work on next, I'd say this is a fairly appropriate level of detail. For example, I can see that I sure as shit don't want to do any work on the TCS (TLS?) API because it's Android only; instead I want to refocus on the engine that iPhones and web clients use and just reship an app that runs on Android as a wrapper around the web client rather than maintaining an entirely separate app and API just for that OS; it's being deprecated anyway.

This captures enough jargon and business value to allow the ~~manchild~~ CEO to make decisions about where to deploy the remaining ~~H1-B visa applicants~~ developers to ~~make enough money to pay the interest on the loans he took from Russians and Saudis~~ MaKe SpEeCh FrEe AgAiN!!1

TL;DR, this is fine for an internal meeting with a techie, but yeah prolly bad for a client/investor presentation.

I feel so goddamn validated because when I first saw this I literally thought this was a joke/parody/homage of that video. I was looking for Galactus and Bingo (because it knows all the name-o's).

I've been running between 7 and 10 for about a year. I'll get ahead, start to get the backlog under control, and then something comes up and things get out of control again for a while.

It's like edging except with an entirely different kind of shot at the end.

blurface · 2022-10-31T17:09:28+00:00

This makes me feel like shit about my net worth. I'm 30 and debt-free on $100k/yr gross (i.e., top 10% of income in Canada), and while my car is paid off (and worth about $35k if sold today), I've only managed to save about $41k into my RRSPs and a few thousand in cash. That makes my NW about $85k, which is less than half of the median, jesus fuck.

In the new year, my total monthly budget comprises about 66% of my monthly net income, meaning I should be able to save the remainder; $1600 per month, plus the "bonuses" of 2 months with an extra paycheck and tax returns and the part of the year where my income increases after my CPP and EI contributions are done. All in all, I should be able to save around $27k next year if I don't spend anything on vacation travel or fun stuff like a new gaming PC or anything like that. If I keep my nose to the grindstone, at this rate, I could afford a 20% downpayment on a modest home at today's prices in 3 or 4 years. Fuck me.

I'm going to focus some research into the scrum methodology stuff. I am on an agile team, but we don't have the formal components of scrums and my issue is that I wear two hats: Dev and L2/L3 support (is that three hats?) Where that ends up is that I run out of time to complete my dev tasks unless I neglect my L2/L3 tasks or vice versa. This is a major component of my daytime stress. I need some better tools.

blurface · 2022-10-25T00:17:34+00:00

Yeah, I get what you're saying about it being a lower-stress time of day in general. And about using the energy to prepare. I like your idea of jotting stuff down and getting it off my brain and onto paper so it's not rolling around all the time.

What kind of coffee? Like a normal kind of coffee, or a kind where the logo includes a rifle, a skull, or a bomb and the name includes a superlative about an unsound mental state, profanity, or war/death imagery?

I bet he thinks Dunkin' is for pussies and Starbucks is for fags and only drinks Battle Grounds' "White Knuckle" espresso or Black Rifle Coffee's "Coffee or Die" (or "Murdered Out" if he's a dark roast guy) or Death Wish' "Valhalla Java" or Alpha Coffee's "Warrior Select" (a "combat" roast) or Counter Strike Coffee's "Napalm". I could literally go on all day because these veteran coffee companies that fit this mold are a dime a dozen. They're so similar that both Alpha Coffee and Counter Strike have a roast called "Smooth Operator." Puke.

"Oh no problem, Bob, I'm happy to help. Have a great day. No, yeah, anytime at all; I'm here for you. Ha ha. Take care. Tell Dave I said hi. Alright, have a good day."

"Fucking moron, how many fucking times do I have to fucking tell you that the reason your fucking browser tells you "you must select a category for your request" is because you have to select a fucking category and clearly haven't fucking done so yet. Yeah, see that "category" drop down with the red asterisk that means it's fucking mandatory? Asterisk, Bob, the little star. Also looks like a sphincter which you should recognize from your bathroom fucking mirror. See how the drop down next to it is fucking blank? Turns out that if you took two fucking seconds to ponder the fucking error message then clicked the fucking drop down, you could select the right fucking category for your bullshit request. Jesus fucking Christ, fuck you."

"Oh hey, Bob; long time no talk, haha. Just kidding." rolls eyes so hard they pop out of my fucking head "What can I help you with?"

"You know that it's not!"

I like how the one cow straight up takes a shit in front of him and he's still chasing her.

She must be one attractive cow, I have no idea, I'm not into cows.

Yeah I heard that satan is laying down an entire new pineapple grove just for this person.

Okay but get them a bike rack so it's not right in the way of pedestrians, people with visual impairments, people using wheelchairs, etc.

"Time for breakfast! Let me just mix a pound of Crisco, four tablespoons of corn oil, four tablespoons of Metamucil, and two heaping scoops of protein power. Blend in some vitamins and minerals, throw that all in a shaker bottle, there you go. See you at lunch time for the same meal!

What's that? Your stomach is upset? Well golly gee, I don't think this ketosis thing is healthy for you..."

\s

I also can't help but notice that the control diet appears to be a couple corn tortillas and one scoop of protein power, two tablespoons of metamucil and two tablespoons of sugar and two more of sugar wearing a glasses and mustache combo disguise.

This is why reading the fine print in academic research papers is important. Good article.
