I acknowledged that shame doesn’t help with weight loss and that legitimate medical conditions can cause you to gain weight. But at the end of the day we have something called the conservation of energy if you like I can drop a link explaining it but if a person doesn’t consume energy then the energy level in their body can’t go up. Fat is a form of stored chemical energy. Therefore the single way that people end up fat is overconsumption of calories.
I explained several of the medical reasons why a person might be more likely to over consume calories even though many of them are very rare but if you can find a single reliable source that shows a person consuming less calories than they burn and managing sustained weight gain (ignoring water weight transients) I will backtrack on everything I said and acknowledge I am wrong

And then in 1984 they voted for Reagan even more
BussyCat@lemmy.worldto News@lemmy.world•Biden says he's partially responsible for Trump beating Democrats in 202414·18 hours agoThat’s why I am saying chamberlain. Benedict Arnold actively attacked the U.S. while chamberlain just failed to stand up to nazis and let them advance
Baby boomers are 1946-1964 Gen X is 1965-1980 Gen Y is 1981-1996 Gen Z is 1997-2012 Gen alpha is 2013- present
The Korean War “ended” in 1953 the oldest boomer would have been 7 year olds, about half of them were the right age for Vietnam but even with that only about 2.7m served in some capacity for the Vietnam war with a lot in non combat roles there were 76m baby boom era so less than 4%
A lot of boomers missed Vietnam as even in 1975 some boomers were only 11 years old
Both your links gave me 404 errors
They were almost all able to vote in 1980 at 16- 34, and made up a large portion of the population then in 84 they were all able to vote and saw what actions he took the previous election and voted for him more…
It’s iron clad in the literal sense that cladding something clad with iron still is heavily susceptible to corrosion.
At the end of the day being fat is a choice, you can have a metabolic disorder that causes you to gain weight if you eat 1/8th the calories of the average person but you are still choosing to eat more than you need. You can have abnormal signaling pathways that make you feel hungry or even lightheaded that causes you to overeat but again you are choosing to give in to a feeling that you know is bad for you. You can be disabled/poor and struggle to prepare food so you only eat cheap unhealthy food but you are still choosing to eat more of it than you need. Making fun of people for being fat might not help them lose weight but it’s not like you are making fun of a person because of something they can’t change like their race, sexual orientation, or even height, it is something that they can 100% change and the picture isn’t of someone whose 10-20 pounds overweight but instead well over 100lbs more than they should be.
It might be an unpopular opinion but a person should feel bad when they are that glutinous that they have consumed 500k calories above their required weight
As long as nuclear is required to be 1000x safer (not even hyperbole) than fossil fuels it will be expensive to run and the cost of nuclear for running home electricity is more than the average person wants to spend. So it wasn’t really going to replace a lot of other uses of oil anyway
It’s a chance for you to explain what you were doing. If you spent that time taking time off between jobs because a job fell through, you got laid off, you quit spontaneously, etc those are all very rational things that an employer may want to know.
It’s up there with innocent questions like “where did you work before here”, and “do you have reliable transportation “

You can say something like “I was attending to personal matters” that still gives no information but doesn’t come off as rude to what could be an innocent question

It’s not some complicated plot to drive conflict… it’s literally just a metric that has turned out to be somewhat useful as we can talk about what major life events different generations experienced at what approximate age.
For example most Gen Y was a teen when 9/11 happened and most Gen X was a teen when the challenger explosion happened and most boomers were a teen when we landed on the moon
