  • most of the time it’s because of something out of the person’s control not that being fat is even a bad thing. I for one just lost 48 lbs literally just by getting on Wellbutrin, went from 310 to 262 in a couple months. It’s usually like a genetic or metabolism thing, or they were on a med that made then gain weight, something.


  • I think people from places that use idiographic languages that have to be transliterated probably actually have an easier time with English orthography than people whose language uses a Roman script and is pronounced phonetically. People who are used to puzzling through the layer of abstraction/obfuscation that sometimes ambiguous transliterations will have can see that English orthography is almost always substantially different than its pronunciation.

    TL;DR: it’s easier for a Chinese person to learn to read English aloud than a person from Romania, but the European would have studied it in school either somewhat or a lot



  • It’s fuckin wild. I used to manage a toys department in an American burger big box store in a small town so I saw some shit. It’s either parents with kids on leashes or threatening them or hitting them in the aisle, my fellow Americans often treat their kids like shit, the image of the overindulgent parent isn’t really what you see around. Kids get treated like this and grow up to be adults who don’t break the cycle.



  • It’s all profit making in a capitalist system. There is in home care but that’s still really expensive for people. I am an in home caregiver for the state funded by Medicaid and as an “individual provider” my client supervises me and the company that does nothing but provide a website to clock in and out with gets $15 from the state for every hour that I work. If it were just directly operated by the government it would be far more efficient, and clients would be able to get more care hours (the max is a bit less than 5 hours a day, or 123 a month) but capitalism says someone has got to make a profit. It’s still a lot better than working at a care facility for an agency that sets my hours. I really like my client and they like me and it works great. I’m even able to help my client get more social services like electricity assistance and advocate for them at the doctor. The facilities are truly awful and there is no way to really make them better under the current system.
