Do Fat People Piss You Off a Little?

I should write an article about cooking eggs.

Please do!

Where is all this salt hate coming from?

Honestly, it’s out of laziness lol
I boil the eggs in bulk and just grab a couple out of the fridge

I also boil eggs in large batches. That doesn’t mean you can’t put some salt of them when you eat them. That’s actually the only time I salt boiled eggs.

You guys aren’t just heathens, you are sinners.

If it is any consolation, I salt and pepper my kids eggs every morning. They usually eat eggs and some type of fruit for breakfast.

Smokers, fat people, and drug users are some of the typical targets of the “that should not be covered by insurance” trope.

Isn’t insurance simply a contract between a person (or group of people) and a company? But once the government gets involved it complexes everything. Considering personal accountability an insurance company that could insure who they want and what they want would be the fairest contract. Sure they could price themselves out of business, but Capitalism would allow it to be replaced with a more reasonable insurance expense. I know this flies in the face of socialism, which seems necessary to care for the unfortunate and :“grasshoppers” of today.

I know… I don’t have a proper salt shaker though. Just one of those big Morton cardboard cylinder things. Too much effort to try not to accidentally dump literal tablespoons from a slip of the hand

I agree with this. Not really how it works in the real world though with the government involvement.

What an arrogant, hateful thread

Is anyone really surprised? I’ll refer you to my training log title.

Fat ppl piss me off when their grocery cart is full of shit or their kids are fat too, unhealthy fat.
Also, fat ppl who are influencers who act like fat is being healthy and happy, not… and when influencers try to put influence airlines to make healthy ppl pay for their extra seats they need for being fat.

@mnben87

The context is about people taking risks and if others should have to share the burden in health costs,

That’s why you pay a separate insurance from health insurance when it comes to vehicles.

[mnben87]

Sure, but there are other examples of behaviors that are risky, and many people having beliefs about what should or shouldn’t be covered. Maybe they are correct, but I haven’t heard a convincing argument yet.

[zecarlo]

I think it’s a matter of scale. What impact do the few mountain climbers who get seriously injured every year vs the epidemic sized number of obese people have on health care costs?

[BrickHead]

With all this egg talk, will be people be mad at me for a temporary derail with this photo of shakshuka I was so proud to make with our backyard tomatoes and peppers? It was topped with crumbled manori cheese (Greek ricotta). Pfft!

[mnben87]

I can understand that an epidemic level thing (like obesity) costs a lot more in general. I am not sure that justifies not covering medical procedures related to obesity.

I try to think consistently. Search for things that challenge my ideas. What I think of here is that as a man, I pay into insurance to cover items related to reproductive health for women. That is roughly 50% of the population that raises insurance costs for the other half. Certainly a large scale cost.

I think it would be consistent to think that fit people should bear costs for obese individuals (for procedures / treatments related to obesity), and to think men should have to bear the extra costs for women (reproductive health treatments). Or to think the negative for both of these things. I don’t think it would be consistent to believe one, and not the other, without a good reason. Perhaps here, there is a good reason and that is that the former is a choice and the latter isn’t (although pregnancy is a choice).

Alright, I’ll write it and submit to the powers that be.

Shakshuka looks great. Chef approved.

[BrickHead]

Thank you.

Yes, please write such an article.

My wife, kids, and I, are all egg lovers, and we prepare them in all sorts of ways.

IDK, but lets see if any 40-something year old men threaten to cold cock you while showing you your own asshole for it though

I agree but, if you get a speeding ticket or have an accident, your insurance goes up. Maybe health insurance should adopt the same approach.

@mnben87

That isn’t how it works my dude.

You are the one asserting that certain known risky behaviors that result in injury should be looked at differently (and covered by insurance) compared to “willfully damaging behavior” that results in injury / disease (and should not covered by insurance).

I don’t owe you the proof you are wrong. You owe me the proof you are right. Burden of proof and all that fun stuff.

You’re trying too hard to force an out of context point and creating a red herring in the process.

Let me know when you can explain how willful decisions and not at fault accidents are in the same category considering the broader context you snipped from and I’ll be happy to engage.

@EmilyQ

What brought him to my attention again is that I peeked into @Njord’s profile and saw that among his “most liked” is Systemlord.

Interesting.

I don’t even remember saving him. Or following or whatever. I disagree with some of his stances, but he is very knowledgeable about trt and other protocols, plus his comments kick off conversations with other knowledgeable people that I find interesting to read so it makes sense that I did I guess.

Not sure what the feature really does though. I don’t get notifications about his posts or anything alerting me to discussions.

Oh, and the sister was batshit crazy. Complained like no other about being a fatty but never made any lasting changes. Just excuses. Over and over. Batshit. And annoying.

You didn’t make a willful decision to ride a motorcycle? They are in the same category of people participating in risky behaviors where the probability of a bad outcome has been quantified and is easily accessible.
