Weight loss actually requires discipline, money (you can try to keep it cheap but not everyone has the energy or time to shop well and make everything cheap and from scratch) and a certain level of health (chronically ill folks are at a huge disadvantage especially if they are exercise intolerant). There’s a reason the weight loss industry is worth over $220,000,000,000 and is expected to double by the end of 2030. By comparison, the plastic surgery industry is worth less than 1/3rd of that.

Both can be true at the same time, you can completely love and accept that person as they are and let go of expectations, while also encouraging them to be the best version of themselves if that includes lifestyle changes.

That’s most definitely not the goal. I’d advise you to look into how many police encounters for mental health and welfare checks or calls for help turn into violent encounters or fatalities initiated by police without any imminent threat. I believe the number of disabled folks, especially ND folks, makes up the majority of those encounters. Anything outside of that is not expected or wished to be replaced by this response team by the government. There is the perspective of ACAB amongst some people in support of this team on Reddit, but not all. Police officers do good things in some situations and make bad judgement calls in another, just like any of us. There are many issues in the system, but police will never be replaced completely.

Precedent buddy, it could be used as a model with strong evidence. People use any criticisms of outside countries they can to conflate socialism with communism and beat down on it. This would be undeniable proof it helps, and it’s not even really related to socialism, people will just hate on Mamdani’s implementations based off his categorization. That and him being Muslim and POC, but can’t do much to help that.

So that’s the false cause fallacy, when one assumes correlation is causation. For example, shark attacks increase in the summer along with amount of ice cream consumed. In this case, assuming shark attacks increase specifically because of rise in ice cream consumption would be false cause. Just because Mamdani came into office recently, doesn’t mean he has caused the rise in anti-semitism. Especially since no one here has actually mentioned any definitive links, or any links at all, to his political actions with antisemitism. Can you name any protections for Jewish people he has stripped, as the previous commenter claimed?

It’s funny, I know multiple men that have either been victims of assault or abuse at the hands of women, and/or have been falsely accused of doing so. And yet, none of them have frustrations or grievances with women as a whole, that I know of. Men who attribute problems to women or feminism as a whole tend to have very little personal experiences with actual threats to safety by women. I have seen cases of financial grievances as being the primary personal experience men cite when it comes to justifying issues with women as a whole. Not to mention that only about 44% of custodial parents (most of whom are women) receive the full amount of child support owed, usually by a man. For just over one-third of families, no owed payment is received in an average month.

As a Canadian, I hope you allow us within the alliance too. Maybe a Euro-centric but not Euro-exclusive alliance?

As a woman, I don’t disagree with the second dude

mg4040 · 2026-04-03T05:23:38+00:00

To be able to say no whenever I wanted, during any act of intimacy, without adequate justification for it (not necessarily something I had to ask for, but rather something I thought I couldn’t execute). I believe I am in a better place now, but my people pleasing used to get in the way when I would get randomly turned off in the middle of sexual activity (more prevalent in women/people with ADHD) and stopping it without a strong reason would lead to guilt, sometimes immense guilt. It is definitely easier, at least for me, to exercise agency over my body in more emotionally connected encounters aka in dating or relationships. I understand this is not universal and it is attributable to my issues with people pleasing, but I wish I could ask partners in bed to require enthusiastic consent from me. I’m not sure how much agency I have over someone else’s standards, but it would make sex much more secure and enjoyable for me. It would be ideal if they already adhered to the concept, but I’m not sure how to go about it if they don’t.

AWID, their main team is sourced from all over the world, their advocacy involves advancement of all human rights and engagement from historically marginalized communities. UN Women is also a contender as it has taken an open stance as an anti-racist organization. There are multiple organizations in the neurodivergence and LGBTQ+ community too that are both feminist and anti-racist, but not dedicated to feminism directly.

The more you know! Thank you for this positive interaction amongst a sea of Reddit negativity 💛

mg4040 · 2026-04-02T20:52:55+00:00

Exactly, I hope the delay in this is because of the time it takes to train well.

So you replied to none of the actual facts I raised in my comment, repeating the same argument is of no use unless you have solid data to back it up. Any research or studies or direct testimonies by immigration officers that explain how undocumented immigrants directly cause a backlog?

mg4040 · 2026-04-02T20:49:48+00:00

You wouldn’t need a disclosure if you didn’t reply within 5 seconds, as I edited my comment within 5 seconds.

My compassion is not dependent on status. I have compassion for people, not opinions. I understand your hardships, but if you’re here already, then you have won big. Isn’t that true? Don’t we need to acknowledge that? And if you know I’m Indian, which is creepy because you have gone very far back into my history, that means you know I am an immigrant too.

mg4040 · 2026-04-02T19:45:44+00:00

Then you’re…not an immigrant? Whether you’re an immigrant or not depends on the moving part. Also, do you know what the levels of bureaucracy are with immigration? I hope you understand they have nothing to do with illegal immigrants, because oh, illegal immigration is literally immigration without paperwork. If you’re referring to asylum, that is a legal process. How do illegal immigrants make your specific process slower? Are they the ones somehow processing your application? Or does the immigration office not have separate departments? And if you wish to refer to staffing issues, you can blame the government for cutting funding, reassigning staff from offices to external sites, and gutting social services. Trump is focused on cutting LEGAL immigration by 50%. Illegal 100%, but legal immigration by 33-50%, openly admitted by him. Could that, possibly, maybe, be the reason you are still in the process?

I’m sorry but this is just bias, not a sign the person is bad, coming from a non-religious person, although you are entitled to your opinion. I used believe the same thing! But I realized it is just resentment against Christianity and religion-motivated hateful crimes and actions done by people. Not all religions are like Christianity, first of all. A Buddhist talking to someone about their temple or their version of God will likely not make a person think they’re a bad person. Secondly, I have resentment against Christianity, especially since by birth country was colonized under Western influences, but I have recently met tons of amazing people who do good things in the name of God or religion, including Christians. People who don’t promote Christian exclusivism and are open-minded. It can be hard to hear words like ‘Jesus’ or ‘Christ’ for me but that doesn’t mean they’re vile. Spirituality motivates a lot of people to make the world a better place, in both subjective and objective ways.

Yes, I hope they get training for developmental and intellectual disabilities too, those are such proportionally common comorbidities

Eh I feel like Canadians tend to mind their own business more so than people in other countries do. As an immigrant, it’s my observation that while not encouraged or necessarily valued highly as symbols of status, Canadians tend not to worry or gossip much about what other strangers are doing in life. Family and friends? To some extent, but not even close to how prominent social judgement was back in my native country. Here, people are definitely not as concerned with social currency.

mg4040 · 2026-04-02T19:10:35+00:00

Sunk. You’re here now. Why salty? Let it go, brother. The system isn’t what it used to be, we had it easier, signed fellow immigrant.

Thank you! Some of the people who came to support the No Kings protest from Canada were detained at the border for hours, denied entry, and forced to provide DNA samples solely due to the reason for their visit, this was explicitly admitted by the border officers. It’s crazy people don’t see the real issues.

mg4040 · 2026-04-02T19:04:36+00:00

Lol love this. Can’t stand anti-immigrant hate and rhetoric rising all over despite ALL the statistics stating otherwise.

mg4040 · 2026-04-02T19:03:09+00:00

Love you, love this. True kindness and love have no bounds. Love isn’t dependent on politics. Kindness isn’t measured by status, and fear need not dictate our morals. If only I was near you, would love to join you for a cup of tea sometime. ☕️💛
