      Excuse me sir but you’re above the weight limit … you may either pay an adjusted fee … or we amputate two limbs

        How much extra do they charge for the amputations?

        What, a FREE AMPUTATION!?!? That’d be seven digits normally!

          six digits if you have shitty health insurance … five digits if we get a really good vet … four digits if we do it right here

      It’s tricky, right? It’s hard as hell not to eat when you’re hungry, but if you’re objectively bigger and harder to move it’s a lot to ask of everyone else to pay the difference.

      I don’t really buy that it’s hate just to point out that a bariatric person is different, and in a usually-bad way. On the other hand, there’s a ~100% chance some of the people that used to be on r/fatpeoplehate are now very fat.

        It’d be uncivilized to charge rent, when their insulin costs so much.

            No, America fat. Highest average daily caloric intake in the world, only second to Ireland. Nearly 12% of the population has diabetes. Heart disease runs rampant. It’s a problem, and the denial is such a disservice, as well as the push for “size acceptance” and accomodation. The general normalization of obesity in America is astonishing.

                I am terminally online, but I do travel quite a bit. I recommend it, it puts things into perspective. America fat as hell.

                Ireland needs to get their shit together, too.
