      Tell me about it. Started resistance training to strengthen the shoulders, they started feeling weak, then the knees started to act up, stopped skipping leg days. 47 is a bummer physically (for the rest: I’m still 25 in my own head).

        Ehh fat people need to stop trying to hone in on the moral high ground of race, sexuality, and disability and just accept they are fat fucks because they eat like pigs and don’t deserve special treatment. If you don’t like it put down the hoho and eat some fucking kale.

          It’s not that easy for everyone. People’s metabolism works in different ways and genetics is also a huge factor. I have a friend who eats roughly the same as me and regularly goes to the gym while I don’t, and still weighs like 40kg more.

          Plus, even when metabolism isn’t the issue, a lot of those people have eating disorders and shaming them for that isn’t cool.

        Weight is one of those things that most people can largely change about themselves. I agree it’s a lot harder to regulate your weight when you have conditions that reduce your mobility and make you burn far fewer calories like ME/CFS or fibromyalgia, but the basic principles of thermodynamics still apply.

        Trump isn’t one of those people with a debilitating condition other than his age. He’s genuinely an unpleasant glutton who lives on a diet of Big Macs and Diet Coke.

          Maybe he can’t do anything about him being fat, but he absolutely could stop being a fuck.

      Trump would be carrying the weight of the US and the free world, too.

      But he rejected the mantle, he didn’t pick it up. He just pokes it sometimes, and points at it and talks about it as something in his possession.

          I mean, he seems to spend no time off while dismantling democracy. I don’t understand why people go so far to ruin other’s lives, but not save them.

      He wasn’t always like this, he was a normal person, a good comediant, but when great and heavy responsibilities come, you change with the times, and for this man, times have been hell. I don’t want to be him, knowingly sending my troops and young people to die because of a (insert a bad word for Putin).

        If I remember correctly he was playing in a comedy as a guy who gets kinda accidentally elected, and based on the show he was kinda accidentally elected - half as a protest, half as a joke.

        I bet many people, professional politicians, people with no principles that care only about money, would’ve run away leaving their country to suffer. This man had the strength to change and demand help for his own people, that makes him great honour.

    Once the government here in the US ends up in Jail, we’ll build a monument to Zelensky. The title might be something like “never forget to not be the nazi.” Or “never elect another trump/republican.”

    Yea, it’s heartbreaking to see comments like “I’d rather [xyz] than give another billion to Ukraine.” Just no words. I wish these people at least had the courtesy to shut the fuck up.

    It breaks my heart. I have a few Ukrainian coworkers (working remotely), and when we jump in Slack and I chat with them now compared to when we first started working together, all I hear is the weariness, the sadness, the loss. This woman designed all of our proprietary software, and she was always such an upbeat, motivated badass. That cliche of a person “lighting up the room” when they walk in? That’s her. Now though? She’s had to move three times to avoid bombs, and even though she’s safe now, she’s lost something that I don’t know if she will ever get back.

    What I see in this picture of Zelenskyy is what I hear in her voice every time I talk with her. And it makes me fucking furious.

      I have a Ukrainian friend since like 2015, he is US citizen now. since last year they force smile and socialise less, just trying to stay busy with their kids.

      It’s so painful that I don’t even know how to talk to him about this anymore. I just let him drive the conversation for most part. Most of the time, in the back of my head, I feel the pain of his family/relatives who have been displaced/disabled/dead.

      I can’t imagine losing your homeland to a cruel dictator.
