In the news

I don't think it's our job to cheer on a Tory twat.

It's literally the most depressing thread on the internet.

Try reading it with an ice lolly up your arse.

Or an Alaskan Pipeline.

I don't think it's our job to cheer on a Tory twat.

Its not about her, its about the people on LFGSS who are struggling with their weight and how reading this shit affects them.

If every person on LFGSS was considered there wouldnt be any talk of any kind.
No politics.
No cars
No parents
Etc etc

Lfgss, the friendliest forum.

Remember?

Ps. I'm not sticking up for him just getting on with my life and not shoehorning In ways to show how much I care on the behalf of the "effected" people who probably don't careaskuch as you think.
It's like when dudes talk about periods.
Short sighted

No, but are you willing to be empathetic with forum users who are struggling with weight issues and who will feel hurt by a physical condition they share being used as an insult?

I’ve been fortunate to have a life and metabolism that made an athletic build easy to maintain. That is until 3 years ago when injuries, age and lifestyle (stress, rushed meals, lockdowns) led to me losing muscle mass and replacing it with more fat than I’ve ever carried, around +25% body fat. That’s not terrible and I’m not saying I know what people with greater weight challenges feel like, but it was still enough to make me feel sad, frustrated, ashamed, multiple times every single day.

Fat comments don’t hurt me, but now I have a keen awareness of how emotionally difficult and acutely stressful it must be for people who don’t like their weight, and keep hearing comments and insults throughout their lives. I’d go so far as to compare it with the struggles depressed people face, feeling unable to change their painfully unhappy (or worse) lives, and being told they’re the problem and to stop being sad. The fact that many people eat to feel better, similar to how addicts shoot up to escape their lives, makes fat-shaming actively harmful to many people who are already hurt. Is the insult really worth it?

Somebody like Boris Johnson can get healthy meals delivered & the best training

Yet still...

It's only acceptable to make fat jokes about yourself or @hippy.

I am about to eat ice cream number 3

I’ve had ice cream for breakfast 3 days in a row, to recover from the dun run, I can quit whenever I want mate. (Joke, not passive aggressive)

Not bad, £10bill for Europe’s largest nuclear power production.

Ice cream or ice cream bucket?

That's the difference between the people playing the games and the guy running the casino.

Mwuuahahaa

Mackies Raspberry Ripple since no one asked.

Wow, 110% daily fat intake in a single scoop of ice cream.

I’ve actually cut out most processed sugars except once a fortnight treat meal. Back to the news…

Given they already own 85%, that values them at £67B. The UK government paying for Hinckley point will give them that £10B in short order

This one is Climate x Bike Forum:

Or one for the 'Spotted' thread?

I'm sure someone will be along shortly to explain how smashing windows is counter-productive

Brilliant 👌

Will be interesting to see if this EDF news will have any bearing on Sizewell C. In a post Brexit Tory world, is it really acceptable to be handing over twenty billion or so to the French government to build and operate a power station?

The Tories are quite happy to hand over annual subsidies/tribute to foreign owned TOCs, Train Operating Companies.

not looking like they do exercise

The looking being the key there. I know some very round people who do incredible amounts of exercise.

Ugh. Can't believe after everything the country is going through, we are going to end up with Liz fucking Truss as PM. Will be so excruciatingly embarrassing. And shit for us all.

In his case, i guess it is definitely a lack of willpower or interest.

But perhaps his GP is happy and he likes his body shape.

It's not for me I stopped eating crisps to drop 1.5 kg but we are all different. I'd be slimming if I were him but it's his body.

The fact her slogan isn't TRUSST ME is a disgrace.
