So... it's not often that I attract the flamers, so I have a question for the people who do:

How long until they get bored and go away if I don't respond? I REALLY don't want to ruin my perfect record of never blocking anyone.

Ranger stations are taxpayer-funded. You aren't stealing in that case. You're recouping your investment.

Not being concerned with society is irresponsible at BEST. How selfish! That's another degenerate modern (or post-modern) attitude I'm over.

Having spent six years entirely off grid on a remote island in Alaska (I even had a baby there, at home, no docs or midwives), I can confidently say, living in the woods is by no means free, but it's freeing.

None. No municipal ANYTHING. Power came from a gas generator. Water from a catchment system. Heat from a wood stove. No phone. No TV reception. No internet. I got net in 2010.

To clarify, I meant fully developed adults (which happens earlier in females) don't HAVE to gain weight as they age. Many do, but they're overeating crap and sitting all day. It's a character thing, not a biological inevitability.

I don't dispute that, but I definitely blame the individual. The attitude I object to is, "It happens to many people, therefore it MUST happen, and there's nothing I can do about it." Horse ca-ca.

My ORININAL point, though, was that the

... things like "body positivity" and "fat acceptance", and all the bad nutritional "information". The food pyramid was CRIMINAL. You're right. It IS happening. It just pisses me off. My kids are suffering because of those lies.

Sounds like you're striking a decent balance of carbs and fats if you're trying to avoid weight loss.

I probably derailed the original purpose of the chart, and I apologize. I have personal reasons to be very angry about

I had to consult the Book of Knowledge several times to comprehend that post at all. It still doesn't make a lot of sense. You're implying that people fatten as they age? Not necessarily...

My point was the data is skewed if sizing shifts.

I cannot. I don't understand it. Nor do I understand your posts. I mean, some of the words look like they're English, but they don't fit together in any way I recognize. I don't think we speak the same language.

I see. I married a mechanical engineer. When he starts talking shop, he may as well be speaking Martian.

I don't follow comic books and I really hate anime/manga (not sure which that is) so I'd never have put that together.

Agree. There are stark differences in nutritional needs between the sexes. But if you say that too loud, the cancel police come for you...

I'm a "lady of a certain age" and soy is VERY useful. So my goals may differ from yours. :pepe_wink:

First frame does not even address vanity sizing. I wore a large (mostly for boobage. I'm not fat) in 1999. I'm exactly the same weight and height, and I wear a medium now. Sizes themselves are creeping upward.

@greyknight @amerika @h4890 @EvolLove @cjd @FourOh-LLC

That doesn't make sense. Laissez faire advocates for no subsidies or other government interference in markets. The Dutch Disease arises in large part due to things like foreign aid and currency manipulation, which are products of government meddling.

@greyknight @amerika @h4890 @EvolLove @cjd @FourOh-LLC

I don't think so, but I'm an armchair economist at best. Dutch Disease can be attributed partly to an influx of foreign aid when a country discovers something tasty in the ground, and that is definitely government interference.

@greyknight @amerika @h4890 @EvolLove @cjd @FourOh-LLC

I did. It does not disagree with what I said.

I just think free markets are always better than regulated and restricted markets. Someone here said laissez faire is the cause of Dutch Disease, AND that laissez faire doesn't work. I disagree somewhat on the first point, as the level of government involvement in international trade is significant, as is the foreign aid aspect.So how can you blame laissez faire when it's NOT?

WHY THE FUUUUCK!!! Can't I access scholarly papers produced by universities that are TAXPAYER SUPPORTED about research that is TAXPAYER FUNDED?! I'll freakin strangle the next gatekeeper I meet!

@LukeAlmighty

There's a concerted attack on beauty in general (e.g. modern vs. classic architecture), & for the woke, a specific attack on classical feminine beauty. It's an attempt to distance themselves from the confines of beauty standards such that "pretty privilege" is no longer a thing. The fat acceptance movement kicked it off, I think, but now it's morphed into an all-out assault on our innate sense of aesthetics. I'm not falling for it, and I got hit on by a guy half my age yesterday.
