Y’all make fun of these folks. However they are living their life but adding walking into it.
We as a society should not be putting down those trying to better themselves. They are clearly working towards something.
You're judging them. They're minding their business. And implying moral failure for how they treat themselves. This is very much your problem. Nothing to do with them.
These are the same people that block my way when I go to generic 4th of July celebration they're not minding their business when their issues effect others. They're causing my insurance rates to go up and dragging their insolence with them in front of us is insulting.
There's a difference between being overweight and being this insolent. It's like being told smoking is bad, so they smoke 3 cigarettes at the same time.
I'm going to smoke cigarettes, now. Respect autonomy, fuck nut.
Personally, I hope you do.
The bar is really low when we praise people for walking
That depends if it is their first steps ever, if they had a bad accident, or major surgery.
No praise, just saying don’t be a dick. Not the same but I get your point.
The calories burned walking are completely offset by those consumed from the beverages. Walking in this case is probably pointless.
And likely the walking wasn't a choice. This is disgusting.
Calm down, it is a diet coke.
It’s a gigantic Diet Coke, if it’s even Diet Coke.
That is just the mid morning one. Got to stay hydrated.
Walking is a normal thing that every able-bodied person should be doing plenty of every day - assuming that this basic act must be "trying to better themselves" is condescending and infantilizing IMO.
I would bet my right nut there's soda in those ~~cups~~ barrels.
alcohol
Nacho cheese.
fatphobia isnt a thing my friend,
dunno why you're getting downvoted. people act like others being mean to them is just as bad as having their rights stripped away, being beaten and killed for things you can't control.
