that's fucking hilarious holy shit

it’s also fucked up that fat people literally fear going to the doctor for anything because they know the first thing out of their dr’s mouth no matter what their ailment is, is gonna be “lose weight lol” broken leg? lose weight. rash? lose weight. whooping cough? lose weight binch!!!!! like we get it. but can you just write my prescription you bitch so i can go eat a salad and not call you again until im about to die of the plague????

I would not be surprised if someone did a study and found an increase in misdiagnosis of fat patients due to doctors focusing solely on weight loss as a panacea and ignoring other vital issues

You mean like this article from the NY Times (from September of 2016) talking about how doctors refuse to consider non weight related issues until they absolutely have to?

Why Do Obese Patients Get Worse Care? Many Doctors Don’t See Past the Fat

Or this study showing that even though the bias is often unintentional it greatly changes patient care?

Impact of weight bias and stigma on quality of care and outcomes for patients with obesity

Or this study that showed that maternity providers have a bias towards obese women and often provide subpar care or push elective procedures?

Weight stigma in maternity care: women’s experiences and care providers’ attitudes

Fat Shaming Tied to Increased Risk of Metabolic Problems this one that says that obese people who are made to feel bad about their weight are 41% more likely to have medical complications as a result of the internalized stress (high cholesterol, high sugars, high blood pressure- or need meds to treat those conditions), versus people who don’t feel stigmatized. 

‘People First’ – Ending Weight Bias in Diabetes Care “ Evidence also indicates that doctors may spend less time in appointments, provide less health education, build less rapport, have lower expectations for medication adherence, and have less desire to help patients with obesity compared with thinner patients. “

I think about this every time I see something saying that obesity is a high risk factor for any other illness.

He was so smart he figured out how to open the child proof lid on his dad's pills and took them all for a science experiment. Sad!

We got one very hilarious win

our server's weekly movie voting rules

War has changed.

new update: there was so much vote manipulation and tampering that we had to throw all of the results in the garbage and create a ranked choice poll

[ID: two discord screenshots. the first reads "rules: 1. movie is decided every friday ~8pm est except for tiebreaks decided saturday ~4pm est 2. person who suggests movie has to be able to make it 3. Clifford (1994) cannot be suggested 4. in case of a 5 way tie at the end of the voting period, Clifford (1994) will automatically be chosen"

the second screenshot is a message from "most evolved creature" that reads "@watchmojo CRITICAL ALERT: if we actually end in a 10 way tie we will have to watch Clifford (1994) twice in some form. a poll will be conducted over what form that will take (simultaneous, back-to-back, etc). if you do not wish for clifford then you must prevent a 5 or 10-way tie from occuring. if you do wish for clifford you must ensure it. godspeed soldiers" /end ID]

outdoor cat defenders really are simply some of the most Delusional people on the planet, like you can list fact after fact all with verified sources about how bad it is to let cats outside for both them & the environment around them and people will cover their ears and be like "umm not my frumpkins he knows not to play in traffic & he has magical resistance to coyotes and disease"

thinking back to the time that a random girl told me how her cat would always find injured wildlife and bring them to her to try and heal them.

the mental gymnastics genuinely had me speechless

The Smash Bros. cast swapping anecdotes about their various evil doppelgangers and Mario getting into an argument about whether Wario counts.

Surprisingly, Mario is arguing that Wario does not count as he has literally never made that connection in his life. You can’t just say every fat italian in overalls is a Mario counterpart, he’s his own person with hopes and dreams. Evil hopes and dreams, but still.

Daisy, meanwhile, manages to argue very convincingly that Peach should be considered her evil doppelganger.

Wario is playing Devil’s advocate because being Mario’s evil doppleganger is great for business. If he was just some guy, nobody would buy Warioware.
