    You really need job regulations. In my country if you gonna fire someone you have to pay a lot of money, this way companies think twice.

      That’s true in the US too. If someone is fired without cause, the company has to pay unemployment.

      I’ve been the manager of completely shitty, toxic people who cause harm to the company and lead to massive turnover of other staff, but was unable to fire them because they showed up on time and met dress code, and corporate wasn’t gonna pay for unemployment.

      And in fact, if someone doesn’t care about the suffering of animals, I want nothing to do with them.

        That I know. One of my best friends in high school used to be a body builder. Got absolutely swole and would dehydrate before his competitions. And while I would never do that to myself, I supported him fully as that’s what made him happy.

        Edit: We don’t know if this dude is competing and if he’s close to a companion if he is. It’s not rightto body shame, and you can’t act as if it’s for health purposes off of one picture.

      This is fundamentally no different than making fun of someone for obvious plastic surgery. Choices were made.

      This guy is clearly choosing to look like this.

        So… if someone can’t help how they look then you shouldn’t shame or mock them but if you choose to look a particular way then get fucked? That is a truly fucked up moral to try and proclaim. That it is totally acceptable to mock someone for their looks as long as they’ve chosen to look that way.

        What a shitty, fucked up and miserable little world you must live in. Why don’t you show us what you look like? I’m curious what decisions you’ve made. I mean… fair is fair. Right?

          Yep.

          It’s funny how you’re acting superior but have no problem judging the world I must live in as being shitty.

          The difference between you and I is that I don’t lie to myself. It’s a subtle difference but actually leads to living in a world that is less shitty.

          Maybe one day you can join me but you’ll need to let go of that gate your keeping yourself behind.

            Well yes. Because Im judging the world you live in, not you. I’m saying that if you go around doing this, you’re going to see nothing but misery and contempt everywhere you go. You on the other hand are openly mocking a person. There is a difference between these two. Should I get the crayons to help out on that explanation? And if you want to whine that I’m not being nice to you, you broke the social contract and decided that it’s okay to mock people to make the world better. I’m just using your rules.

            The difference between you and I is that I don’t lie to myself.

            It’s a subtle difference but actually leads to living in a world that is less shitty.

            Ahhhh, my mistake. Sorry. I didn’t realize that attacking people for how they look actually makes the world less shitty. Makes total sense.

            Maybe one day you can join me but you’ll need to let go of that gate your keeping yourself behind.

            Brother, you are openly judging someones appearance and saying you’re allowed to mock them but saying I’m the gatekeeper?

            Good luck with that.

            By the way, I’m still waiting for you to post what you look like.

            I mean you’re saying that we get to mock people based off of appearance to make the world better. Show yourself. Let us see what you look like. Never know. Maybe the world needs to be made better?

              I look like shit, but that guy is going to die if he keeps taking such high doses of steroids. I don’t celebrate the life choices of an emaciated heroin addict, and while I might not mock them either, it’s understandable we might socially acknowledge that their behaviour is undesirable for a number of reasons. There’s no need to eradicate any and all perceived criticism of others’ choices, it feels a bit like you’re using it as a cudgel or some sort of weaponised purity test.

              or

              “I hope he reads this bro”

                Okay, show us your life choices so we can judge you. I mean if it’s killing you, we’re allowed to mock you after all. Right?

                  You rely on that rhetorical device a little too much.

                  In my daily life I expect, receive, and largely accept criticism for any poor decisions. I choose not to broadcast my daily life to the world via social media.

                  Your behaviour, ironically, comes across as bullying.

      Had a buff friend (but not even close to that) that had to reach for his seatbelt with his right hand because his biceps didn’t give him enough flexibility to reach for it above his shoulder with his left hand and sometimes he would need to pull on his right arm with his left hand to give himself enough reach…

      It gets pretty ridiculous at some point…

    I don’t know why anyone would ever want to look like that. It’s some body-horror shit. Deep insecurity there.

      People might look at me and think why would anybody like to play so much Factorio. Or why does this guy keep going rock climbing when he’s already torn a tendon.

      People do things that they like to do regardless of what anybody else thinks or without some ulterior motive for it.

      Sure some people might have body issues and this is the result, but for the vast majority of people they’re doing what they enjoy and doing it for themselves.

      I worked at Apple and one thing that always stuck with me was their approach to Positive Intent, we assume that people are being honest and the best selves and so we assume that of people until proven otherwise. Someone cuts me up in traffic, oh well perhaps they’re in labour and heading to the A&E.

        I’m sorry to feed your addiction, but if you enjoy Factorio, give Dyson Sphere Program a shot. Again I apologize for any hours lost in advance.
