Body positivity is such a strange concept to me. There's efforts to reclaim words while simultaneously calling them bad if used as an insult. Ideally, people wouldn't be offended by someone describing their body with common descriptors, but socially there is so much value attributed to certain body types that it's almost...
Even if the work itself is easy, dealing with customers is a skill set too. Too many of my friends couldn't hold customer facing jobs because they just couldn't deal with people (understandably).
The Justice Department has determined that Boeing violated a settlement that allowed the company to avoid criminal prosecution after two deadly crashes involving its 737 Max aircraft, prosecutors told a federal judge on Tuesday. ...
I generally assume that "popular thing is overrated" is generally said just to troll people. At least, I like to dog on things that are popular that I'm not in to just to get a raise out of people that can't accept any criticism of their thing.
Taking BMI as gospel is another problem, to be considered in an ideal weight, I'd have to weigh as much as when I was 17 and that was when I was the most active in my whole life (walking to and from school, PE at school, going outside with friends daily, etc.) No chance I can cut to that weight at 35 in a healthy way.

Drama like this is exactly why I laugh when people say its better on lemmy than reddit, its just a different flavor of the same shit when you're on All.
The people I know do nothing of the sort and dodge the question when I ask what they NEED so many tabs for. Some people just think its easier to just have tabs sitting around rather than use bookmarks or accept that they aren't going to read that article they set aside weeks ago.
Yeah, I don't agree with them on much in a political sense, but I've never really had a problem holding a conversation or debate because I'm not being a shit. And the times that I've said something a bit off base, they've always tried to confirm if I really meant what I said or if I was misunderstood before any moderation would happen.
The sony communities I saw poopooing the whole thing flipped immediately into "WE DID IT" mode, pretending they actually cared about the people that were going to lose access.
It bugs me when people say "the thing is is that" (if you listen for it, you'll start hearing it... or maybe that's something that people only do in my area.) ("What the thing is is that..." is fine. But "the thing is is that..." bugs me.)...

I'd have a lot less of an issue with TBBT if people I know didn't expect me to like it because I'm "a nerd" (I wear glasses and know how to use a computer). Also its just not very good.
But why have people I know given me a ton of flak for the actions of men that I've never met nor had the opportunity to try to correct the actions of, merely for having a penis? Like, sorry for not being a clairvoyant and not stopping something from happening to you before I met you.
If it were just venting to me, I wouldn't say I was getting flak. Its the venting but also the finger pointing, acting like I was there and egging it on, when I wasn't around it at all.
