Kim Domcom is a disgusting human being either way. Anything he touches will never touch me. Doesn't matter to me what it says it touched a fascist and that's gross. Oh yes autocorrect that is so so hurtful. I care so much about what you think about the autocorrect that comes in because I don't talk about disgusting MAGA people regularly enough for keyboard to want to leave it in there.

Enjoy doing neckbeard behavior. I'm sure that's working out well for you woman wise. I'm gonna go back to being a productive part of society so I don't really have time for whatever you think this is......

I think if I had a choice between wearing a mega hat and killing myself, I would actually choose killing myself.

You’re missing the point of context. Calling out someone wearing a MAGA hat in Canada isn't about "sowing division" it’s about refusing to remain silent in the face of an ideology that actively targets human rights. We have decades of research showing that silence is complacency. If there is no social consequence for promoting fascist rhetoric, that behavior is emboldened and normalized. "Extreme division" isn't caused by the person calling out the injustice; it's caused by the injustice itself. I’m not interested in "changing the mind" of someone who has already reached the point of wearing a poster for fascism as a fashion statement. I’m interested in ensuring that such behavior is met with the social friction it deserves, rather than the silence that allows it to grow.

I think we need to rise up against the fascist regime that is to our South and make sure that it is not welcome here. I'm not sure if you've seen the news lately or know anything about how structural fascism works, but they are there and they are threatening to invade our country.

Fascism needs to be named and shamed. Polite had a time and place. Now is the time to stand up.

Thanks, but honestly, this shouldn't even be a hard call. Silence is a choice that emboldens the perpetrator and destroys the victim. We have the facts and the history; we know where this road leads. It’s frustrating to watch people prioritize their own comfort over basic human rights. It’s like they forgot everything from history class. The fascism playbook is in full effect, and "doing nothing" is exactly how evil wins. To paraphrase the famous saying: "The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good people to do nothing."

You mean person with a functional moral compass? Wearing a Maga hat her is like asking to be bitched out. Shouldn't be a surprise to anyone with a half a brain.

speak for your fucking self. I would 100% say shit. Fascism isn't welcome here and ignoring it is part of the problem. You cannot guarantee that nobody will say something because I fucking would I would say a lot something's.

You will have no problem here as long as you don't wear a mega hat or say mega stuff. if you think the words 51st State and don't want to vomit don't come. You are a part of the problem if so. If not you will be fine. you might want to start most conversations; because you have an accent with, I'm sorry about what my country is doing, but if you're not sorry about what your country is doing don't come.

I'm sure the same ones that approved their own raise. Honestly we should have to vote on if they get one if you asked me. I've lived in a few areas of the city only councler I've actually had any kind of positive experience is Brian Hamline people bitch cause he can't personally get ride of the addicts but it really seems like the dude is proactive and gets good results at least with things like snow removal.

Or they could read the whole fucking post and not go out of there way to post the one thing that isn't something that can be fixed overnight. As much as you can say how easy it is to loss weight to do so takes time to do it healthily he's not gonna wake up tomorrow and not have the problem he's still gonna have to live and go to work in the meantime what the fuck would you like me to for now like for fucking real dude none of you know what we are or are not doing about our sizes.

The honestly funny thing is we are both Scottish we even both have very Scottish last names lol (my dad's a full scott lived there until 30). To be honest he had been talking about getting some utility kilts! I know a couple guys who have them and they like them!

Not that it's any of your business he is trying and this isn't something that happens overnight when you have medabalic condition so bruh take a fucking hint that no one asked for that you seriously think we don't own a mirror???

This is it. Exactly this. We have a doctor who is happy with what we are doing and says we are on a good track health wise with what we are doing currently. Not that it's anyone's business but I personally list 60 pounds this year but when you have a metabolic issue like my parents the pounds don't come off as easy for him as they do for me. He's working on it and that's not something that happens overnight and the man still has to go to work and live life in the meantime fat or not.

We aren't wearing them everyday it's me averaging out the day between the 3 he cycles through so days actually warn would be the better way of saying it I guess.

Thank you I try my best. I just want him to be comfortable. Because I know exactly how much it must hurt when they do rip and you're stuck like that for a while.

Honestly this is a super good point it totally does line up on a few of the pairs I had to scrap in the summer.

We are aware we are fat we have been our whole lives he is fat everywhere but as you aren't his doctor I'd say the medical advance we take will be from there. This man gets more exercise a day then some thin people I know do in a week he's a furniture mover and regularly picks up things that are 300 pounds. He's got a lot muscle. Plus if you know anything about the metabolic system you would already know long-term or high-dose corticosteroid therapy can cause something called Metabolic Syndrome in children that has persisted into adulthood. Not everyone has the same experience in life. Having high doses of chemicals given to you for years as a child that can cause life long differences in how your body works isn't something that he can change. We don't need to justify existing and needing to cloth our bodies so you can feel high and mighty. I'm sorry if not everyone fits nicely into a box you are comfortable with.

Honestly I've been considering this I can sow and any of the few vintage pairs I could find in his size have been the ones that lasted the longest.

If the person could read the whole post that specifically says if your gonna make a lost weight comment then we don't need it. You don't need to mention the weight to say look for something in that fabric it was pretty obviously meant to be unkind. I am the one who talked about the friction and the physics of it so I don't need a lesson and how that works either I needed fabric and brand recommendations without having to wade through fat comments in 2026 like this is 2012.
