  • You're saying we should be blatantly discriminatory to prevent subtle discrimination? How does that make any sense? It's like saying people with racist thought should just say them instead of shutting up. Or an better example: should we make fun of visibly disabled people? I'm sure plenty of people have "natural thoughts" when they see someone like that, but you shouldn't say anything because that'd be a horrible thing to do.

    Again, most overweight people know they're overweight. They are already affected by it in their daily lives. They don't need you to be a dick about it.

  • Your oversimplifying. I agree I don't think being overweight should be necessarily seen as a good thing, but that's still someone's personal business. They may be trying to loose weight. They may have a medical condition or an addiction to food. They may just not have access to good, healthy food, or are uneducated about how to eat healthy in the first place. Making fun of them is useless at best and hurtful at worst, because chances are, they know they're overweight. They don't need you to point that out to them.

    Even if someone chooses to be overweight, making fun of them for it can still hurt others. By all means, say that it's unhealthy and that it shouldn't be normalized but don't take it out on individuals, especially if you don't know their situation.

  • True but dictionaries (at least for English) are descriptivist, so they can only describe how a word is used. The definitions, especially the second one, are so broad due to how much the word is misused.

    But your right that I probably shouldn't have said it has no definition.

  • Oh yeah I'm subscribed to codeparade! I know it's not a perfect analogue but since it's such a large scale, our perspective makes it look flat. So at long distances it feels like you're moving in a straight line when you're really not.

  • I got soma for free on epic at one point. I started my playthrough mostly as a joke, since I did a similar thing with amnesia - I'm not good with horror but a friend wanted me to play. It caught me super off guard when I realized that it's actually really good. It's become one of my favorite games just for the story alone.
