    There are some that consider the term obese to be derogatory.

    I don’t agree with that opinion, but I can understand where they come from. I generally support body positivity with a heavy dose of realism. Being overweight shouldn’t be a reason for someone to treat you poorly, but pushing the idea that being overweight isn’t unhealthy is where I draw the line.

    If I were medically overweight I’m sure I would also not like any term that directly points to something considered a very negative trait, however clinical the word is.

    As someone who mostly lurks/occasionally comments and someone who likes to view hot/active posts from all communities, repeat posts from similar communities in different instances is something I find really annoying. I’ll see the same post four or five times as I scroll. It can make things feel really empty to see the same things more than once.

    Who the fuck is going to the doctor over a cold? Especially when it’s someone making $9/hr (if they’re in Texas, at least).

    Slap a mask on and don’t breathe in people’s food and you can keep on working. Why is this even an issue?
