      Had a buff friend (but not even close to that) that had to reach for his seatbelt with his right hand because his biceps didn’t give him enough flexibility to reach for it above his shoulder with his left hand and sometimes he would need to pull on his right arm with his left hand to give himself enough reach…

      It gets pretty ridiculous at some point…

        I mean, I am not buff at all and have hypermobility so I can put my arms in positions most people can’t and I still use the other hand, so if I am driving the right and if a front passenger than the left, not sure by your description if that’s what you meant

          Sure you can still do it even if you don’t need to, but he was physically unable to reach his seatbelt with the hand that’s on the same side even if he tried

    You really need job regulations. In my country if you gonna fire someone you have to pay a lot of money, this way companies think twice.

      That’s true in the US too. If someone is fired without cause, the company has to pay unemployment.

      I’ve been the manager of completely shitty, toxic people who cause harm to the company and lead to massive turnover of other staff, but was unable to fire them because they showed up on time and met dress code, and corporate wasn’t gonna pay for unemployment.

      And in fact, if someone doesn’t care about the suffering of animals, I want nothing to do with them.

      Yep. I’ve been utterly disgusted by so many people in this thread and kinda regret ever posting this. At least I found a whole lot of people I can tag as being problematic as shit to keep an eye on. I don’t know how anyone in their right mind believes that it is okay to mock someone based off of the way they look. I kinda do it off of actions. Doing it off of looks is just childish horseshit and I expected better of people here. They should feel incredibly fucking ashamed of themselves.

      All these pathetic redditors who left the site but not the mentality.

        That I know. One of my best friends in high school used to be a body builder. Got absolutely swole and would dehydrate before his competitions. And while I would never do that to myself, I supported him fully as that’s what made him happy.

        Edit: We don’t know if this dude is competing and if he’s close to a companion if he is. It’s not rightto body shame, and you can’t act as if it’s for health purposes off of one picture.

      This is fundamentally no different than making fun of someone for obvious plastic surgery. Choices were made.

      This guy is clearly choosing to look like this.

        So… if someone can’t help how they look then you shouldn’t shame or mock them but if you choose to look a particular way then get fucked? That is a truly fucked up moral to try and proclaim. That it is totally acceptable to mock someone for their looks as long as they’ve chosen to look that way.

        What a shitty, fucked up and miserable little world you must live in. Why don’t you show us what you look like? I’m curious what decisions you’ve made. I mean… fair is fair. Right?

          Yep.

          It’s funny how you’re acting superior but have no problem judging the world I must live in as being shitty.

          The difference between you and I is that I don’t lie to myself. It’s a subtle difference but actually leads to living in a world that is less shitty.

          Maybe one day you can join me but you’ll need to let go of that gate your keeping yourself behind.

              • Nope. It’s the paradox of tolerance you’re upset about.

                Fallacies can be either illegitimate arguments or irrelevant points, and are often identified because they lack evidence that supports their claim. You mocking someone about thier appearance is, yup, CHILDISH.

                  It’s really weird how much emotion is in all of these responses but it’s really silly when you then claim I am being emotional.

                  I’ve made no claims to my moral superiority but you and other have. That is a paradox.

                  We disagree on something. Calling me childish is a bully tactic.

                  I am true to myself and that offends people in weird silly ways. It results in them applying their imagined prejudices to me.

                  These are all logical fallacies and if there is one thing I’ve learned over the year is that those who deploy them are not worth arguing with and this is such an occurrence.

                  I knew it would lead here because the internet is predictable because people are predictable.

                  For example you will now ignore me or responses with an emotional response, dismisal of my position and list of logical facllicies you feel I am using because you aren’t interesting in a discussion.

                  You need me to be a bad person

              I look like shit, but that guy is going to die if he keeps taking such high doses of steroids. I don’t celebrate the life choices of an emaciated heroin addict, and while I might not mock them either, it’s understandable we might socially acknowledge that their behaviour is undesirable for a number of reasons. There’s no need to eradicate any and all perceived criticism of others’ choices, it feels a bit like you’re using it as a cudgel or some sort of weaponised purity test.

              or

              “I hope he reads this bro”

                Okay, show us your life choices so we can judge you. I mean if it’s killing you, we’re allowed to mock you after all. Right?

                  You rely on that rhetorical device a little too much.

                  In my daily life I expect, receive, and largely accept criticism for any poor decisions. I choose not to broadcast my daily life to the world via social media.

                  Your behaviour, ironically, comes across as bullying.

            Judging peoples choices regarding their own body that has nothing to do with anyone else makes the world less shitty.

            Got it. Thank you.

          • Also, by this logic trans people should get mocked because they made those choices to their bodies and it’s outside those norms, but i thought we were trying to be more accepting

    • Right but this is like the Miukbang people and nickado avocado or whatever. It’s the equivalent of gorging yourself into being morbidly obese whole going “don’t shame me!”
