Date: May 28th, 2026 12:20 PM Author: cucumbers I used to think fat people were just lazy/undisciplined/etc. until my last job became extremely stressful, and I started stress eating. Gained nearly 10 lbs really quickly and had to make drastic changes at work to stop the stress eating and drop the weight. I'm guessing a lot of chronically fat people are victims of GC fucking up their appetites and making them over-eat, although exercise, healthy eating, healthy habits, etc. are still critical.

Date: May 28th, 2026 12:38 PM Author: Richard Ames 100%. Staying in good shape basically becomes another job, especially if you have a family. Need to hit the gym? Better get up an hour early to exercise before getting ready for work. Then "work" is basically just sitting all day on a screen manipulating abstractions. Then you go home and are exhausted, but also restless. Because staring at screens is insanely unnatural. Couple that with the endless amount of processed slop that is available and engineered to taste great and it's just a brutal battle. I am in good shape, but it requires an unbelievable amount of discipline. Especially as you age. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5869614&forum_id=2#49905072) |

Date: May 28th, 2026 12:49 PM Author: Richard Ames I think it depends. If someone is carrying an extra 10 - 15 lbs, I have a lot of sympathy because of what I described. Particularly if they have kids and are 40+. If someone is carrying an extra 50+ lbs, it's obviously a different story.
But honestly a huge amount of people are basically living a zoo-like existence and GC is a big part of why. |

Date: May 28th, 2026 12:53 PM Author: UhOh i kind of agree, but i also realize it takes a ton of effort to stay thin in this country. if you don't prepare all your own meals and exercise at least 1 hour a day you're basically doomed. you need to avoid the absolute bombardment of sugar sugar sugar carbs carbs carbs at every turn, which let's face it you're fighting against the entire history of human evolution. and you also need to avoid drinking which is sad because it's fun and a part of basically every social function.

Date: May 28th, 2026 1:10 PM Author: Richard Ames Right. I think there has to be a mental delineation between people carrying some extra weight and people who are out of control fat. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5869614&forum_id=2#49905091) |

Date: May 28th, 2026 1:27 PM Author: zarathustra it takes effort to be fit, especially living a typical working life. for someone not to be fat takes only a look in the mirror in the morning at his revolting gut and the thought, "i will not eat gladys's birthday cookies in the breakroom today, i will not have a massive lunch, i would rather undereat than exist in the world as a clown." and yet.

Date: May 28th, 2026 1:13 PM Author: You're right to push back on that. it's mostly genetic
this is one of the few Science discoveries that actually runs contrary to what seems to be intuitively obvious |

Date: May 28th, 2026 1:15 PM Author: Metal Up Your Ass We need to round up massive numbers of people and force them into camps under the strictest of controls for food intake and exercise regimen. In the name of science. No joke.
I 100% believe that some people are born with the genetics that make achieving certain fitness goals much harder/easier. People are definitely not the same.
But top tier doesn't make sense for most people.
Not being a chronically ill, morbidly obese piece of shit is far more important for society as a whole.
It fascinates me the way some people are committed to eating, most especially women. It's one thing to eat gc slop takeout (more like delivered these days), but the ones who essentially meal prep like a bodybuilder with 6x daily meals/snacks, except with the end result of being a whale, are the ones I can't wrap my head around. |

Date: May 28th, 2026 1:25 PM Author: You're right to push back on that. i mean we have GLP drugs now. this problem is Solved
even if someone doesn't want to get into the nuts and bolts of the Science (which takes like 30 minutes with an LLM), the overwhelming success of GLP drugs should make it very obvious that variation in prone-to-fatness is genetic in origin
the drugs work because they reduce excess appetite which is an entirely subconscious biological process in the body. something no one has conscious control over. fat people aren't "undisciplined" in the sense that they're just randomly eating for no reason. they're responding to their body's overwhelmingly powerful signals to eat, which can be suppressed with GLP drugs |

Date: May 28th, 2026 1:29 PM Author: ...,,..;...,,..,..,...,,,;.., hot take: it's very easy to be fat, but very difficult to be either fit or morbidly obese.
after a certain age, it takes a ton of work and discipline to be fit and healthy. being morbidly obese also takes an incredible amount of lack of control and devoting yourself to being disgusting. |

Date: May 28th, 2026 1:44 PM Author: 345 (🧐) this isn't a hot take it's painfully obvious
XO is just full of bald skinny fat lawyers who hold themselves in high regard because they aren't fat fat and look for reasons to actively detest people because they are shitty Jewish human beings
it's the same type of person who really really wants it to be the case that ozempic gives everyone cancer or gay aids |
