In all seriousness, I'm a vegetarian and could never cook meat for $h!t, and I can now do that in the air fryer. For some reason it makes it so much easier.

What meat are you cooking in an air fryer (she asks apprehensively)?

Mostly chicken and fish.
I use it almost every day. I even did fried ice cream

OK, now I can’t cook worth a damn, but this sounds amazing.

Care to share your well-thought-out solution? I'm sure you'd be wealthier than Elon if you ever share it with the rest of us mortals.

NP - ending corn subsidies would be a good first step.

And, you know, allowing doctors to tell patients they need to lose weight.

Also - being explicit that while everyone should be comfortable in their skin, bodies are really not intended to carry too much or too little weight. We need to be able to say this very clearly and directly.

Are doctors being prohibited from saying that?

Of course not. PP just makes crap up because they salivate at any chance to trash Fat People and lie that it’s just because they “caaaaare.” In reality, they just feel badly about themselves and need to try to score nonexistent internet points and drag other people to boost their low self-esteem.

Oh, and if I didn’t add the addendum below, they’d respond “HARR HARR OK FATTIE TOUCHED A NERVE, DID I?” In fact, they probably still will, with something asinine like “Sure, Jan/Karen/Brenda/Becky,” because even negative attention is better than no attention.

Categorically not true. I've had many conversations with my doctor regarding my weight.

Assholes who make it their business to "preach" to overweight people when it doesn't concern them in the slightest might be canceled through. Why do you care about how much I weigh unless you're my spouse, child or doctor?

The same reason I care about smoking. Because obesity is a public health crisis that will be underwritten eventually by the taxpayer.

Cool. Well, your “preaching” accomplishes nothing except making you feel good, and changes nothing, but we all know you’ll continue anyway.

Pronouns are dumb. I don’t care who you’re attracted to, who you marry, who you love, what gender you identify with, what gear you were born with. None of it matters to me. You do you. You should have all the same rights as anyone else. But acting like I’m rude because I mess up your pronoun just makes you seem like a narcissistic attention seeker. You see, I so respect you’re equality, it bothers me when you think you’re special.

Preach, sister!!

I would LOVE for restaurants to be sectioned for children/no children. I have young kids and while I love them, they should absolutely not be inflicted on unsuspecting fellow diners while they're learning how to behave properly in public.

Then don’t inflict them on fellow diners. When my kids were babies we didn’t eat out much, but if they started to cry I would take them out to the car so as not to inflict them on anyone else. As babies, they had no concept of restaurants or disruptions and it was my job to take care of their needs and to respect the people around me. When they got older, while their table manners may have been lacking, they were in no way being disruptive to unsuspecting fellow diners at other tables. Granted, we weren’t eating at 5-star restaurants. The crayons and notepads I carried in my purse usually kept them quietly occupied, but if there had been any disruptive behavior, I would have immediately removed the child, so as not to inflict it on other diners.

Oh, look, actual competent parenting.

The taxpayer pays for your SN child from the getgo. I know someone who gets free babysitting through Medicaid for her two SN children and uses it for Christmas shopping.

Just when I thought people on this site couldn't get any more disgusting, they surprise me. So let me get this straight, she gets a subsidy for some babysitting and she chose to use that time to go buy her kids a few Christmas gifts. That is your beef in life? That is what you choose to b*tcg and moan about.

See me, a single mom who pays for everything herself because I am fortunate and able, could care less if another woman gets a well deserved break.

It’s funded by taxpayers. If she isn’t using it for childcare, she shouldn’t get it. It’s not a “taxpayer Christmas gift fund.” Take it away and give it to someone waiting who will actually use it for childcare.

I’m the PP who called people like the PP who talk about “willpower” profoundly stupid and I totally agree. That PP is just demonstrating low intelligence.

I need my phone for directions anywhere beyond my usual stops (grocery, library, bank, post office, etc.).

More importantly, in case of emergency I need my phone. I haven’t had to call AAA often, but when I needed them, I had to have my phone. In case of a serious car accident or medical emergency, I need to be able to call 911. Not to mention, for even a non-serious accident, it’s nice to be able to take pictures of the cars, and taking a picture of the Driver’s license, insurance card, and license plate of the other driver us considerably more efficient than teyong to write it all out by hand while blocking traffic.

OK. So keep one phone iin your pocket or purse. You don’t need to endlessly mindlessly scroll the internet to have a way to call 911.

And provide evidence of financial viability and stability. Not saying you need to be rich or even middle class. But you need a stable job and a decent apartment that you pay for yourself, and with enough of a buffer to also pay for childcare.

This is a terrifying opinion. The government should be in charge of who can and can’t have children. That’s what you’re saying.

Sorry, I don't want my tax dollars paying into subsidized housing, WIC, subsidized child care, food stamps, heating and cooling, etc. all because some poor lady wanted babies.

They already are, though

Yeah I know. Which is why I said what I said. People should have to pay for their own offspring and not foist in upon taxayers.

Do you also think only people with superior intelligence, blue eyes and blond hair should have children and everyone else should be sterilized?

I don’t care what color your hair or eyes are or what your intelligence is (as long as you don’t have profound intellectual deficits that require you as an adult to be under someone else’s care), as long as you can pay for the kids you’re choosing to repeatedly pop out.

Oh, and BTW, you lose, because Godwin’s law, but here’s a sticker, because you tried.

That isn't just controversial, it's so ignorant. I have ADHD. Damn, I wished I had been diagnosed in my youth and gotten proper treatment. My life is night/day with treatment.

How do you explain how many more kids have it today? It is SO many more kids and not just because of additional diagnoses. It has to be environmental somehow.

There are as many poor and neglectful parents as there have ever been. You can't explain a change (increased incidence of ADHD) with something that hasn't changed (parenting quality). Science 101.

False. Screens and screentime have increased by orders of magnitude.

And there are many who believe it has negative results, especially for kids.

Researchers found by age 5, children who spent two hours or more per day, looking at screens, were 7.7 times more likely to meet criteria for a diagnosis of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, or ADHD, than children who watched screens for 30 minutes or less each day.

OVER SEVEN TIMES more likely to show symptoms of ADHD!

https://newsroom.clevelandclinic.org/2019/07/18/preschooler-screen-time-linked-to-attention-problems/

It was also found the kids that were Not allowed to look at a screen or play video games had such bad hand eye coordination they make terrible surgeons.

You all must have toddlers.

https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jamasurgery/fullarticle/399740

Ok? Correlation is not causation. You have screen times for your high schooler?! I doubt this!

Google the research I just grabbed the 1st result. I’m not saying let them play 24x7 but most surgeries are done with electronic screens and video games help.

Yes, it was terrible before the advent of readily available videogames how there weren’t any surgeons. So many people died waiting for videogames to be invented. Tragic. *sniffle*
