So you're overweight! Only barely though, lose just a single pound and your BMI is in the normal range. Phew, for a second I thought you were another special case...

^ Yes, I know that. This is why shows like The Biggest Loser are actually dangerous to public health. But no one, unless you're a giant and/or burning a lot of calories for being extremely active, should eat 3,000 calories a day. As a former fat, I did exactly that and paid the price.

The whole "2000 calories/day" thing is largely nonsense, lingering from WWII-era nutrational recommendations. Actual caloric needs depend on height, weight, and physical activity level. I've calculated my own, based on moderate activity, and I came in at ~3400, which is purely a consequence of being 6'4" and 190 pounds. If memory serves, Clench is about that height and probably quite a bit heavier due to all the powerlifting, and definitely qualifies as being highly active, so 3000 is perfectly reasonable. If anything, I'd expect quite a bit higher than that.

https://globalrph.com/medcalcs/estimated-energy-requirement-eer-equation/
Yes and no, and that website is bullshit. It says you should eat more the fatter you are. Of course calorie intake depends on your level of activity and size, but eating 3000 calories a day is NOT healthy for the vast majority of people. It also doesn't matter if you're power lifting or bodybuilding, BMI applies anyway and that is what really counts. Bodybuilders suffer the same health risks as obese people. The only time BMI doesn't apply is when you're amputated. In such a case, you must recalculate the proportions and it varies on a case by case basis.

Here, let me show you how bullshit that website is:
Age: 25
Gender: Male
Height: 170 cm (the average)
Weight: 250 kg (very morbidly obese)
Activity: Sedentary (can't even walk)

Your estimated energy requirement (EER) or average dietary energy intake that is predicted to maintain energy balance in healthy, normal weight individuals with the current age, gender, weight, height, and level of physical activity indicated above in order to be consistent with good health is: 5318.6 kcal/day.
With good health? LMAO!!! This example of a man shouldn't even be alive! For fuck sake, he has a BMI of 86.5! That's more than twice the threshold for morbid obesity. No, what this website shows is how much you should eat in order to maintain your current weight and "health" level. What that website really does is guessing how much you're eating. It should not be an indication of how much you should eat, unless your BMI is in the normal range. This appears to be your case, so you're right to say that eating that much is good for you. However, this doesn't apply to everyone, you're a very special case. If you become sedentary but keep eating that much however, you'll become obese real fast.

It says that mine is 2623 a day, but I actually aim lower than that because I'm trying to lower my BMI even further. Right now it's 24, which while normal, is too close to being in the overweight range. Not too long ago, I had a BMI of 38.2 and yes I ate over 3000 calories a day. I still have some flaps I'm trying to get rid of.

Rather than a hard cap, if you want to cut down on wealth disparity, minimum wage should instead be defined as a percentage of the highest wage (including bonuses) in the company. If a CEO wants to make more money, they must first pay all of their bottom-rung staff more money as well (and, by extension, everyone else in between). Growth remains possible, just not to the explosive, exploitative degree that's currently standard, and that growth benefits everybody that contributes to it.
Dude, that's like... so fucking smart!

This suit is a desperate cry for attention and it's kind of hilarious how thoroughly her lawyer is taking her for a ride.
Her lawyers are exploiting her for money. They know her lawsuit is frivolous but they file it anyway. They're evil bastards.

adjl posted...
With some caveats. Refusing service on the basis of a disability that can reasonably be accommodated generally doesn't fly, so there might be a case against Starbucks for discrimination there. That's a big "might," though, since there's a very easy case to be made that not being able to wear a mask endangers staff and other customers too much to justify giving her such a non-essential service, plus it doesn't sound like she has a particularly legitimate disability (not to gatekeep disabilities, but generally speaking, a doctor's note should come from somebody with "doctor" in their professional title).
Her "doctor" is a chiropractor, i.e. a quack. Chiropractic is pseudoscience. Her discriminatory case also doesn't hold, considering it would have been illegal for the barista to serve her, considering wearing a mask is mandatory in businesses in San Diego County.

That woman is obviously mentally ill. She also shows all the signs of histrionic personality disorder. "Karens" are basically the definition of it: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Histrionic_personality_disorder

I've no idea what you're saying but it sounds good.
It's French. I sang the beginning of a song by Joe Dassin, an American-born French singer-songwriter. The title of the song is "Et si tu n'existais pas", which translates to "And if you didn't exist". If you think it sounded good, wait until you hear the original song. It's going to blow your mind.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=abfQQ1hzN9M

Below is a translation I made of the lyrics.

And if you didn't exist
Tell me why I should exist
To roam in a world without you
Without hope and without regret
And if you didn't exist
I would try to invent love
Like a painter who sees from beneath his fingers
Birth the colors of the day
And who can't get over it

(I only sang the above)

And if you didn't exist
Tell me for who I would exist
(Female) Passersby sleeping in my arms
That I would never love
And if you didn't exist
I would only be another dot
In this world that comes and goes
I would feel lost
I would need you

(Instrumental solo)

And if you didn't exist
Tell me how I would exist
I could pretend to be me
But it wouldn't be true
And if you didn't exist
I think I would have found it
The secret of life, the why
Simply to create you
And to look at you

(Short instrumental and humming solo)

And if you didn't exist
Tell me why I should exist
To roam in a world without you
Without hope and without regret
And if you didn't exist
I would try to invent love
Like a painter who sees... (fade out)

But...my recorded voice sounds lower/deeper than what I hear internally....
That's not how frequencies work. We as humans have trouble hearing frequencies that are too low or too high. The rich low frequencies I mentioned being delivered by bone conduction can't normally be heard. They can only be "felt". This is kind of like how most deaf people can still "hear" low frequency sounds. They reverberate in your body. You don't need ears to "hear" those sounds because our ears are incapable of hearing them. When you talk, your voice reverberates in your body and so you can "hear" those low frequencies. When you listen to a record of your voice, you can't hear those low frequencies.

Most deaf people can still hear sounds delivered by bone conduction. These people can actually hear themselves talk, but what they hear is very limited. They don't hear via air conduction, so what they hear is the difference between what you hear when you talk and what you hear when you listen to a record of your voice. Sound also travels in solids, and that's what bone conduction is all about.

When I speak, the voice I hear in my head sounds great. When I listen to a recording of myself speaking, it sounds absolutely nothing like what I hear and I don't like it. Oddly deep and frustratingly monotone even when I know damn well I wasn't speaking in such a way. Like, if I didn't know it was my voice that was recorded, I'd swear it couldn't possibly be me talking, it sounds completely alien to what I personally hear.
That's because when you normally hear yourself talk, you receive both sound transferred through your ears externally by air conduction and sound transferred internally through your bones. This bone conduction of sound delivers rich low frequencies that are not included in air-conducted vocal sound. So when you hear your recorded voice without these frequencies, it sounds higher and different. Since your recorded voice does not sound how you expect it to, you dont like it.

This is similar to how we often don't like our own picture. We're used to see ourselves in a mirror, so the image we have of ourselves is mirrored. If you like combing your forelock in a certain direction, other people actually see it in the opposite direction. The same goes for imperfections such as moles, pimples and scars.

I think Im indifferent. Plus, I cant really hear my voice. Because Im me, I cant really hear what I sound like normally. So, I can only hear when recorded...
So you can't hear yourself when you talk? You should consult a doctor because that's not normal at all.

Boston accented gay voice. And yes, I get misgendered everyday on the phone at work, but I play-along. When you're doing medical insurance things, you don't want your homophobic and conservative clients to derail the subject.
How can you be misgendered if you sound like a gay man? Sounding gay still implies that you sound like a man. Unless you're actually a woman, I don't see how you can be misgendered. Also, a voice can't sound gay, only an accent can. Gays who talk in an effeminate accent can actually sound not gay if they try, just like how a straight man can mimic a gay accent if they want. The gay accent and mannerisms are basically just replicating a type of female speech. Gays who adopted it during their development were subconsciously trying to act female because they felt more closely related to their female peers. The same goes for very tomboyish lesbians, their natural behavior is closer to a male one.

Paradoxically, when I was undergoing puberty around the time I turned 14, I actually liked my recorded voice more than the one I heard in my head. My voice was just getting deeper, it was when I could no longer shriek like a girl. Since my recorded voice sounded higher, I recognized it more than the one I was now hearing in my head. I hit puberty late and my growth spurt was insane. In primary school (6-12 years old), I was always in the middle in class pictures, i.e. half of my peers (both genders combined) were taller than me. On my first year of high school (12-13 years), many girls were taller than me. A year later and we were equal in height. Another year later and I finally exceeded them but only barely. By the time I reached my maximum height at 16 (yes, that fast), I was now among the tallest. My height is 182 cm (1 cm below 6 ft).

No that is false. Jack Thompson got disbarred for lying.
Which was pretty much a direct result of his many frivolous lawsuits. And he wasn't disbarred just for lying.

On July 8, 2008, Judge Tunis recommended permanent disbarment and a $43,675.35 fine for Thompson to the Florida Supreme Court, citing "cumulative misconduct, a repeated pattern of behavior relentlessly forced upon numerous unconnected individuals, a total lack of remorse or even slight acknowledgment of inappropriate conduct, and continued behavior consistent with the previous public reprimand... Over a very extended period of time involving a number of totally unrelated cases and individuals, the Respondent has demonstrated a pattern of conduct to strike out harshly, extensively, repeatedly and willfully to simply try to bring as much difficulty, distraction and anguish to those he considers in opposition to his causes... He does not proceed within the guidelines of appropriate professional behavior, but rather uses other means available to intimidate, harass, or bring public disrepute to those whom he perceives oppose him."

Source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jack_Thompson_(activist)#Disbarment

He exploited the legal system to do the things in bold. His repeated frivolous lawsuits are the primary reason for his disbarment.

You realize most judges just throw these out the second they step into a court room right? If a lawsuit is 100% frivilous it literally goes nowhere since most judges will find it completely ridiculous the second they see it. It seems like you think every lawsuit is handled exactly the same and the judges hands are tied and he must treat it like a very serious matter.
Your assumption about me is wrong. I totally get that. Judges may also fine both plaintiffs and attorneys who dared waste the court's time. Some lawyers may also get disbarred as a result of repeated offenses, for example the infamous Jack Thompson. Some plaintiffs may even be banned from ever filing a lawsuit again.

If he was picked to be on TV, then yes he is handsome. They don't pick uggos!
It depends from person to person. Beauty is often subjective. For example, some people hate tattoos, so someone with them will be ugly compared to the same person without them. I personally hate makeup and find it disgusting to look at, so pretty much over 99% of women I see on TV are very ugly to me.

No, but I'm a cis het male
So am I, but that doesn't mean you can't find a man handsome. The trick when answering this question is to ask yourself whether or not you would find yourself disadvantaged when competing with the man in question. Let's say you both want to impress the same woman, do you feel confident in your chances compared to that other man's?

Okay, since there has been a lot of misunderstandings about the issue, let me explain.

How this is unrelated to freedom or speech:
Freedom of speech is there to protect citizens from being prosecuted, censored or imprisoned by the government for having a different opinion than them. For example, you may publicly proclaim that you love communism, that you hate the government, that you hate democracy, that you want someone to be killed, that you identify yourself as an alligator trapped in a human body, etc. without fear of being prosecuted, censored or imprisoned by the government. While this protects you on a legal manner, it won't prevent other citizens from hating your guts. The nurse obviously stated a controversial opinion. Whether or not what she said falls under freedom of speech is irrelevant. The hospital isn't the government, so they have all the rights to fire her. Whether or not this constitutes as an unlawful termination of her contract is irrelevant to freedom of speech.

How this is related to freedom or speech:
Some people are arguing that she should get imprisoned for what she said. One side argues that what she said falls under freedom of speech while the other side argues that it constitutes a death threat, thus not being protected by freedom of speech. So what exactly counts as a death threat? Freedom of speech actually covers hypothetical threats. For example, "I would kill someone if he looked at me with disdain" is protected under freedom of speech. On the other hand, "I will kill you" isn't protected by it because it counts as a death threat. It appears like what she says does indeed fall under freedom of speech, so the government unfortunately can't do anything about it.

Exceptions to freedom of speech:
Incitement: the advocacy of the use of force is unprotected when it is directed to inciting or producing imminent lawless action and is likely to incite or produce such action. For example, inciting someone to commit robbery, murder or suicide.
False statements of fact: while lying isn't always a crime, it isn't protected under freedom of speech and so can be censored. It also means that false statements can be subject to civil or criminal liability. Libel and slander laws fall under this category. False statements made under penalty of perjury are subject to legal sanctions if they are judged to be material.
Obscenity: Speech is unprotected if your "work of art" is offensive and/or lacks serious literary, artistic, political, or scientific value. Usually, possessing such work in your home is fine. In most cases, censoring beats imprisonment, but in other cases, for example sex in public, it can subject you to criminal charges.
Child pornography: While it would technically fall under obscenity, child pornography is distinct from it because it's always outlawed no matter what, so merely possessing it at home is criminal.
Fighting words (death threats fall under this category): What constitutes fighting words is speech that tend to incite immediate breach of the peace by provoking a fight, so long as it is a personally abusive speech inherently likely to provoke a violent reaction. Such speech must be directed to the hearer to count. True threats of violence that are directed at a person or group of persons that have the intent of placing the target at risk of bodily harm or death are generally unprotected. However, there are several exceptions. For example, threats may not be punished if a reasonable person would understand them as obvious hyperbole. Additionally, threats of social ostracism and of politically motivated boycotts are constitutionally protected.
Speech owned by others: Basically, this is about copyright.
Commercial speech: Basically, this is about false advertising.

Actually it has plenty to do with it. People are saying what she said is a death threat when it isn't.
It still has nothing to do with freedom of speech, no matter what you say.

I'd rather cuddle (not sex, not kissing, just cuddle) with an average looking man than her and I'm not even gay. If she was still like in the first picture and not wearing makeup (it's a big turn off for me, almost as much as smoking and even more so than being fat), I would agree to go on a date with her. As a formerly fat person, I tend to encourage fat people to stop overeating and I'm always happy to give them advice, but I refuse to respect anyone who thinks it's fine to be fat. Accepting your fatness is and should never be the solution, you have to accept that you have a problem. You're not telling alcoholics and people with an addiction to gambling that what they're doing is acceptable, so don't do it with a fat person. If they haven't already, make them realize that they have a problem and offer help. If they refuse help, feel free to publicly shame them. If they accept your help, be kind, encouraging and understanding.

There should be more support groups akin to the AA for fat people. I've never been to one, but I would consider sponsoring if given the opportunity. I might even not refuse a sponsor for myself, it can sometimes become difficult not to relapse. Thanks to the pandemic, I've been unable to go to the gym and social distancing brought me back to bad habits. I gained some of the weight I lost, nothing near the level of obesity but still over a healthy BMI. I just started losing it little by little, hoping to return to a healthy level within two months, but it's hard when you're more sedentary than ever.

As much as I hate US cops, this right here is an example that both sides can be in the wrong. It's okay to peacefully protest against the police, or violently if it means saving an innocent's life (for example attacking a cop about to murder someone in cold blood), but assaulting the police for the sake of assaulting the police is dumb. There are shitty people on both sides of the spectrum.

Had the question be about better mother or cuter woman, my answer would have been Chi-Chi (plus she doesn't smoke). But better wife? My answer is Bulma.
