I'm what's considered mid-sized I guess... neither fat nor thin. I don't look visually big, but I have a belly, I have rolls, it's just when I'm clothed it's not so apparent. I'm thick, I have huge thighs, covered in cellulite.
So people, especially women, who are heavier than I am often get offended if I say I wish I had a little less fat. They treat me like I'm nuts and "so skinny!"
It never began
for instance, during lunch at work I mentioned I was starting to track my nutrition and exercise more often because I want to lean out, and another colleague jumped at me, almost angrily, and told me I didn't need to.
Right there with you!
I wear a US 16, and am tall.
That would be considered obese even at 6'6
I'm built different that plus size but get an annoyed look in "straight sized" shops when I ask for my size.
I mean, I'm talking about my experience. My colleagues are mostly women, thye share their struggles with weight during lunch. Just because I'm a little smaller doesn't mean I don't also struggle or that it's not valid. What am I supposed to do, just stay quiet durig lunch not to offend them, ion times when that's the MAIN conversation topic?
Woman companionship
She also hit the incelhood the wall
I was actually sort of happy about it after the oversaturation of male entitlement in my teens and twenties. 35 is the first year I've (personally, not speaking for anyone else) started to feel sexually invisible to the average passerby and it's just so... weird? Hard to explain, but it felt like I could hold people's attention (not even sexual attention, but general attention) without even trying before, but now I actually have to do something extra in order to secure my position.
To be honest, I've even been wondering if I have a worse personality than previously thought, because people generally even seem to find me less interesting now as well; they respond with more politeness compared to, well, genuine enthusiasm... and I don't just mean hetero men, but other women as well; society at large, really. Like, have I been very boring all this time, but people were only interested in what I had to say because I was a pretty young thing? (I'm probably not describing all of this very well, but it's a feeling I've really been stewing in this year.)
- I think the grief of it will last me awhile, even if I do enjoy the upside of being less sexualised than I was during my peak years.
I feel like I actually hit a happy medium in my late twenties to early thirties and the equilibrium has shifted over too much now, but I digress. The other way I cope is just glowing up my appearance in ways I have neglected, like slowly shedding the weight I've put on these past few years and revamping my wardrobe a little - things that may not make a huge difference to other people, but help me tolerate my own reflection better.
Says she doesn't care process to tell how she trying to improve her looks
It's nasty how much people feign interest in your mind and what you say just because you're attractive. I've been used by one too many guys because of that. One thing that sticks with me as a single woman is to pay attention to how a man I'm interested in treats women who he isn't attracted to. Does he genuinely listen and contribute to conversations with older women, fat women, trans women, etc. or does he only see and respect conventionally attractive women.
Does that man is interested in her

Tbh I don't even object to that because it's not thoughtcrime. In a real public health emergency draconian measures become permissible.
We're lucky this pandemic wasn't actually that deadly, but if/when Ebola Zaire hits the West, you might be glad for jackbooted agents of the state to forcibly prevent your neighbors from bleeding out their eyes.

Bb this is basically "those measures were really overblown for COVID but if COVID was substantially more deadly/crippling then they would have made sense"

There's a difference between believing the police should be less violent and trigger happy in most situations and seething that police even exist and are allowed to use force.

I guess, but COVID wasn't that deadly and they still did it. I actually think the excessive COVID policies which many people rightfully saw as over the top are a "boy who cried wolf" situation.
I personally have much less faith in our health officials as a result since they seemed to regularly lie to us, either directly or through exaggeration. I definitely noticed when we started by talking about "deaths" but moved on to "cases" and eventually "exposures". Like one kid at a school would get COVID, be actually fine (full swift recovery), and the news would read "30000 children exposed to COVID".
So if there's an actually dangerous virus next time I'm far less likely to follow their advice since it was such bullshit this time around.

The thing is that health officials are congenitally cautious. Their mental model is all about cutting mortality risk, they don't really see other risks, like lost learning from keeping kids at home.
I think overreacting in the early days when covid was poorly understood is totally understandable, but there should be some review and accountability for keeping schools closed as long as they did once it was clear that children were not at much risk, and for not reopening outdoor stuff once it was obvious that outdoors was dramatically lower risk. But reviewing and improving policy is boring and, "kill the tyrants!" is way more dramatic and fun.
The other thing is how fricking lazy so many people and groups are. Around here, they closed almost all the public bathrooms because of "covid risk" but then never reopened most of them because it turns out if you leave the door locked all the time then you never have to chase away junkies or clean it. I suspect if you looked closely a lot of the more objectionable "covid safety" measures were someone using covid as an excuse to do something they already wanted to do.

Nah I'm gonna disagree here.
By the end of April 2020 we knew full well that COVID was spread through aerosolized water particles that contained the virus. And yet they still closed down the fricking forest preserves here. Big wide open outdoor spaces, literally perfect for the COVID pandemic since spread was negligible, unironically one of the safest things you could do is take a walk through the preserves. And we knew full well that was the case at the time, all this "oh we were uncertain" shit is revisionist, that was true in like February but by the time summer rolled around we knew full well how it was spread.
No, the real reason is that public health officials and a loud portion of the electorate just couldn't handle COVID. They couldn't deal with the fact that there really wasn't much to do but live through it. They felt they had to do something, anything to show changes were being made. So they made up some bullshit and closed a bunch of shit, passed absurd regulations that had zero actual impact on the spread of the virus. Just because they wanted to do something because they were allergic to doing nothing. Now people claim they were "following the science" and "what we knew at the time" but that's bullshit and not true at all, there was zero medical reason for most of the COVID policies, no studies they were basing them off. Just fricking vibes.
I see it as absolutely pathetic and it's tarnished by view of public health officials for the long term. These are the people who are supposed to keep a cool head and act rationally in times of distress, and they utterly failed. So now anytime any public official is like "no you need to do this for your safety" I just remember the times they said the same exact thing and it was a complete lie.
sorry bb I know this got a bit heated but as somebody who loves the outdoors the policies they were pushing really pissed me off.
Edit: you mentioned schools - the reason CPS was remote for over a year had nothing to do with COVID or even public health officials. It was because they went remote at the beginning and the teachers realized they could slack off if they were working remote so they pushed to keep it going. It was 100% driven by the CTU and not by public health officials.

On that last point, pretty much every teacher I know was chomping at the bit to get back to in person schools, but it was the state government that didn't let them.
Of course, this is New York, but it's interesting that there was such a opposite opinion in my neck of the woods.

Interesting. Yeah here in Chicago it was almost entirely the CTU (chicago teacher union) pushing to keep schools remote basically indefinitely (they never claimed that obv, just "we're not ready yet!!"). Their argument was basically "what if the heckin kids get COVID??" I'm sure there were some teachers that wanted to get back to school but tbh the CTU is how they voice their opinion on policy and the CTU was staunchly opposed to it, the school district basically had to force them back.
The remote learning was also really bad here. Not sure about NYC but over here some crazy portion like 1/6 just never logged in, like ever. Also when schools went remote in spring 2020, teachers were expressly forbidden from reducing grades no matter what - so most students literally never attended the rest of the semester, never took finals, they all just got passed on to the next grade despite not actually getting an education. Because obviously if you tell the kids that they'll still get the same grade if they just take the last 2 months of school off, they will.
I'm still convinced that we're going to feel that ripple for years to come. Good job security for me I guess. Sucks for society tho.

I am up in rural New York, so the opinion might have been influenced by relatively lower chances of getting Covid. That said, most teachers absolutely hated having to do everything remote, because they are usually older people without the technological skills necessary to have remote learning work
Personally, I think remote learning sucks for a lot of the reasons you mentioned; I teach summer school, and I get maybe one in 10 of the students that are supposed to logon once a week.

Yeah so that goes to my last point about lazy fricks.
All the things you're saying are real and true, but it's very different from the "omg the new world order democrats are going to weld us in our cubehomes!!
" vibe I get from a lot of the comments on this topic.
But yeah, for sure, vote out the school board and the forest preserve commissioners. Heck, vote out every elected official in Cook County just on principle.

Ah true, those theories are r-slurred. Something people forget is that it's literally impossible to have 10k+ people in on a conspiracy without leaks, especially in the modern era where everybody has instantaneous communication with the entire world in their pockets.
I just wish all the people responsible for the insane policies faced consequences for their clear incompetence. But we all know that doesn't actually happen. These people were voted in again. Heck even the DA that completely fricked the Jussie Smollett stuff here, clearly lied about a conflict of interest multiple times, won her reelection only a year or two later.
I would unironically
But the rot is everywhere. It's been this way for decades and I'm not naive enough to think it'll change anytime soon.
Anyways happy Friday bb

This boiled my piss at the time.
We knew super early on that obesity increased the severity and mortality rate of covid, but we managed to ignore the frick out of that inconvenient little fact when it came to implementing measures.
When they realised the hospitality industry was in trouble over here the government started a scheme called "eat out to help out" which is exactly what it sounds like. They kept the fricking gyms closed though.
And I lost count of the number of fat fricks tossing snide remarks at me whenever I was out running.

Yeah it was the perfect time to run some PSAs to try to get people to move. Plenty to do too, like literally go for a jog around the park, ride a bicycle, something.
But there were no such PSAs. None of the guidance related to COVID included losing weight or getting in shape, even though it was far and away one of the most critical factors in how severe COVID would impact you (only bested by age, which you obviously have no control over).

This is the problem. That overreaction is the root of so many different issues.
Perhaps it was entirely unavoidable. But I think it's really dubious to just let the authorities of the hook. They failed the most important part of the entire pandemic.
