Sure, but it's not like there's a push for Camp Guderian or Camp Giap after lessons learned from our adversaries in WWII or Vietnam.

Literal traitors.

"The war is over the rebels are our countrymen again." - Ulysses S. Grant, 1865

I don't believe he continued on to suggest that we should honor them or their cause, though.

He and others laid the groundwork by deciding not to be arrogant asshats, as that would not help the country heal from its wounds.

I didn't realize that it was an arrogant asshole thing to suggest that public institutions shouldn't be named after certain people.

If someone told me tomorrow that a new school in my hometown shouldn't be named after me, I wouldn't take that as a slight as it's not a slight. I don't deserve that honor, and I've never broken an oath of allegiance, committed treason, and killed fellow Americans over an idiotic cause.

More like a significant segment of the population never got over the fact that their ancestors lost fighting for a shitty cause and naming bases after Confederates was a popular political move back when it happened. And it's not like adversaries in other conflicts had sworn oaths of allegiance to the United States as was the case for plenty of honored Confederate generals.

Military bases should be what we're really going after. The fact that several bases are named after people that fought against our country (several of whom had previously sworn oaths to protect and serve the country) is phenomenally stupid.

Maybe it's because the US military learned a lot from the Civil War. The Confederates seemed to be the smarter side when it came to new tactics from the little history I know.

The Dark Knight is the best comic book movie hands down and is a legitimately excellent movie by it's own. Better than any Marvel film so far, period.

The Dark Knight Rises is a bit of a mess, but still entertaining. There are plenty of Marvel films better.

Batman Begins was good, but I'd also say pretty overrated. There are lots of Marvel films better, like Spider-Man Homecoming, Civil War, Avengers 1, Infinity War, Iron Man, and Thor Ragnarok, just to name a few.

So, all in all, an A+ film, a B-ish film, and a C-ish film. Averaged out okay, so I'd disagree inherently that the trilogy is better than what Marvel is operating. At it's best, yes. At it's "worst," hell no. Averaged out, no.

The inference to be made here if you say "I 100% would never date a transperson because I'm heterosexual" is that you still don't view them as their transitioned gender. Pretty clear how that's transphobic.

Again... we're at the point where people are rightfully arguing for respect for sexual preferences and gender identies, and yet the notion that there could be a sexual preference for cisgendered men or women is a no go?

I mean, that doesn't make much sense. It's like saying I'm sapiosexual or whatever those made up orientations are. If you're in the realm of making up biologically implausible sexual orientations to justify your own lack of acceptance, you've made a wrong turn. At least simply admit that you don't see them as truly their identified gender and the thought of them as their pretransition state freaks you out.

Yeah, you're just looking for things to be upset at this point if your rational is that it's "biologically implausible" to have a sexual orientation more exclusionary than your own or inventing states of mind for people that have them. You're attracted to trans and cis people? Good for you. You think that there's zero possible reason that someone could be only attracted to cis people? Quit being so close minded.

I can safely say that there isn't a cisgendered guy that attacts me. Does that make me a homophobe? If yes, that's a dumb take. If no, how's that different if you changed "cis" with "trans?"

If you're straight then you aren't into men. If you are straight you're into women. Trans women are women. If you exclude all trans women from your dating pool it's because you don't consider them women. That's the difference.

Yet again, we are in an era where we are rapidly recognizing gender and sexual diversity that just a decade ago would've been essentially ignored, yet the idea of cis-sexuality of either the homosexual or heterosexual variant immediately kills the conversation?

Sorry for anyone with an actual genetic condition, but the odds of a fat person being fat for genetic reasons alone while eating a relatively normal diet is so staggeringly tiny that you can essentially ignore it in everyday conversation.

Mmkay, now how many people are claiming they're fat because of a medical condition?

... are you kidding? A significant number of people do just that. Hell, I regularly eat with a dietician buddy in the hospital and that's the biggest go to excuse he gets. Probably close to half of the people he talks to claims a genetic reason for being fat, which quickly falls to shit when he asks them where they got the information that they have a genetic condition. That's the biggest thing he bitches about, as he's watching numerous patients slowly dying because they're not willing to take beyond the most basic of steps. That and wanting just surgery and nothing else.

I honestly didn't know. Quite frankly given the tone of the topic, I had my doubts anyone had any actual info. You have anecdotal, but do you have links about this?

Not off hand, but it's something he's mentioned numerous times and I've heard from other doctors in the hospital that I'm working at that I'd trust medical professional opinions on the matter, including geneticists, over someone claiming something as a go to. That's the thing, obesity is an enormous strain on the hospital in particular and on the healthcare service in general, and almost every doctor has informed opinions on that the subject that I've least spoken to. Genetics certainly plays a role, but it's not remotely the end all/be all when compared to simple dieting and exercising.

Explain how.

Person comes in for weight loss help/seeking a surgery. He speaks with them about methods to lose weight. They claim a genetic condition. He asks where and how they were diagnosed with a genetic condition. They have nothing (or claim that their parents and kids are fat while ignoring that they all share similar diets and sedentary lifestyles). And repeat. For a significant number of people, it's just a go to excuse, and one that more than a few keep sticking to when tests don't back that up at least according to him.

For the vast majority of people

Therein lies the problem.

It's a majority. It's not everyone.

It's such an utterly staggering majority that even mentioning it's not for everybody vastly inflates the relevancy of those that have legitimate genetic and other health factors that make losing weight borderline impossible. Not to mention that it's insulting to those that actually have such conditions to be lumped in with people that are just fat because of lifestyle decisions that they don't have the desire to change.

The long and short of it is that almost every single fat person is fat because of apathy. Literally any sensible diet alone would work when it comes to weight loss for almost everybody provided that you stick to it. Yeah, weight loss is usually slow. But if you're talking about undoing decades of damage, is it really that shocking to say that it will be a multi-year recovery process?

But I guess excuses are easier than calorie counting.
