I miss the concept of renting VHS and DVD's. There used to be a Blockbuster near our neighborhood when I was a kid. We would occasionally rent VHS tapes until eventually the DVD player became more prioritized. My family rented DVD's from the library, Safeway, and Hollywood Video.

I appreciate it too, at least one reasonable person in this thread, capable of answering without turning everything to eleven ('This is Spinal Tap' moment ;-) )

I actually really do apologize if my comment came across as insulting; it was brought up with authentic concern for your wellbeing.

Not the person you were talking to but I pardon for overreacting towards your post. I didn't get the context at the time. On an unrelated note, that one guy should be ashamed for being an immature bully.

Well it’s nice to see that we all came to a conclusion and clarified what we were trying to get across. 👍 I even sent a message to Randi apologizing for getting carried away earlier.
Don't remember that name but glad you guys made up! edit: nevermind I think they responded to me before, I lost track.

I don’t think you’d find many conservative reactionary types giving HAES lectures or talking about systemic anti-fat biases, but I’m sure you could find a large number of overweight/obese people who just endure bigotry in docility to their “skinny moral betters” — “I might be fat but at least I know I am and don’t believe in HAES”
That said I dont think the vast majority really care about fat people outside of people who are just blatantly racist homophobic antisemitic anti-woman already, it’s more of a punchline.
And not that I’m a right winger or anything like that but the left is just as guilty of making fat people the butt of the joke as the right.
Sadly, the latter part is true. As a left-winged person I can confirm they are not 100% perfect. I can remember encountering a thread about the Washington school system in a Seattle subreddit and someone villainized special ed kids. Not related to politics per say but I thought disabled people were as important as other minorities in progressive folks' eyes.
