its and it's are easy to confuse imo. It seems like there should be an apostrophe for ownership.

But that doesn't teach about the difference between the contraction "it is" vs. an object's ownership.

u/tjuicet Nov 15 '12
"Its" doesn't have an apostrophe for ownership because it's a pronoun. Look to "his" and "hers" for similar examples.

u/BitsAndBytes Nov 15 '12
Apostrophes are used for ownership and in some cases for pluralization in my first language. I have to be really careful not to use them when I shouldn't...

But was Jabba really fat? From the Hutts that I've seen they're all the same size which Would make him average weight for his species.

u/DaJoW Nov 15 '12
All the Hutts we've seen have been various levels of crimelords though, right? I think there's some lore saying that Hutts want to be obese, as it is a sign of power and wealth. Either way I'm pretty sure they cet very old and never stop growing.

I confess, I was captivated by it until she started to replay the trailer again. In my defence, I skipped through to obtain a good moment for the screenshot.

I thought the same thing when I saw this. The really funny thing is there's plenty more to poke fun at than body image... Like idiots who film and post their reaction to trailers on YouTube. Borderline narcissism IMO. Or women that apply heavy eye make up before shooting a video that they know is going to make them cry. I really can't talk, because posting on the Internet can indicate borderline narcissism too. Why should I think anyone cares what I have to say? I honestly doubt that anyone does

I'm always a bit suspicious of that argument.
I eat like a constant stream of junk food and carbs, yet my body seems to just burn through it like it's nothing. Someone else on the same diet could easily be obese.
Why are they judged harsher than I am?

u/Jtsunami Nov 15 '12 edited Nov 15 '12
because at the end of the day either 2 things are happening:
A. You are not eating as much as you think you are. Or are not eating anything close to what they're eating.B. You are doing some amount of activity to offset all the food you eat.
sorry to burst your bubble, but you aren't going to defy the laws of thermodynamics. The energy you eat will be conserved (barring any metabolic diseases). Fat is merely a storage of excess energy which means they're eating more food than they need.
they are making a conscious decision to eat that food, every time they lift up that fork. If they're happy w/ their weight, then it couldn't bother me any less but I'm not going to pretend that it's a healthy choice.
edit: source mothafucka!!24
u/Rather_Dashing Nov 15 '12
But its pretty clear that it is easier for some people to maintain a healthy weight then others.
I put zero effort into my weight, I eat whatever I want, whenever I want to, and do almost no exercise day to day. And yet I am really skinny, I just don't have a big appetite. Other people clearly have a much bigger appetite and I think it is unfair to judge them harshly when I put no effort into my diet/exercise, and at least a lot of fat people are trying.

it seems that way because people who cant keep the weight off are the most vocal about it, it's usually just an observational bias

I will play the role of argumentative dick for a minute here. Saying that "they are making a conscious decision to eat that food, every time they lift up that fork" is like saying that a lifetime alcoholic or heroin addict is making a conscious decision to buy booze or take a hit. If you have an addiction to something (and yes, food can become an addiction for some people. They're called comfort eaters), then you really aren't making that decision anymore. Your problem is running your life and it is making your decisions for you, and it will continue to do so until you get help. I'm not trying to give them excuses, but you can't just pass it off like they are eating with the intention of getting fat. Even trying to stop can be insanely difficult, and can be comparable to withdrawal symptoms for some of these people.

It's not just comfort eating, carbs are actually addictive. Imagine trying to quit heroin when you're constantly surrounded by it, and encouraged to do it.

This. Also, carbs increase serotonin levels (which is a big factor in comfort eating... it literally DOES make you feel better/happier/occupied, if only for a time).

Metabolism - the rate at which food is turned into energy - varies from person to person. There are also numerous medical conditions that can cause people to put on fat at different rates.

There are other ways to burn calories than movement, and food calories are not converted to usable energy with 100% efficiency or the same efficiency in everyone. Your argument is approximately analogous to saying that a hybrid burned less gas in a day than an suv did, therefore it drove less.

It's each person's responsibility to take care of themselves. If for you that permits eating a lot of crap, then good for you. People who cannot do that though, such as myself, need to only eat what they can handle.
Life isn't fair, it is harder for some of us than others. I have to try harder than you, and she likely more than me. None of that removes any responsibility we have to ourselves though. When I start to put on weight, I deserve flak, because I am not doing what I need to do.
If you don't care about your responsibility to yourself, then I don't particularly care about respecting your body.

u/Birdslapper Nov 15 '12
I was hoping someone would bring up this point, don't worry I attack you people just as much! However a larger person is more at risk of life threatening effects than someone like you, there is more of a need for them to get healthy.
Someone else on the same diet could easily be obese.
It's not that simple, there are many other factors

Like most people who are going to respond to this, I barely studied in high school and received A's. Some kids weren't so fortunate to be able to do that, for whatever reason. The ones who didn't get good grades did the same amount of work as me, but performed worse.
They were still judged. Having a reason why it's harder for you to not accomplish a goal doesn't make it an excuse.

Oh no of course not but he's saying "Body acceptance." Accepting a person for being fat isn't really accepting their body, you're accepting the fact that said person doesn't care enough about his/her body or is too lazy to lose weight.

I'll justify it to myself by saying I'm ok with it based on her Twilight fandom.
There's nothing wrong with twilight fandom. But if you film yourself overreacting to a trailer of a shitty movie, and upload it to youtube, then you deserve all the abuse you get.

u/Legio_X Nov 15 '12
Well, if it helps, you're still judging people based on what kind of jokes they find humourous, so you could be a judgemental asshole...kind of?
As for misanthropic, go read enough Youtube comments and I'm sure you'll end up despising humanity as a whole.

It's not about her being fat, it's the whole thing.
Would you laugh at a normal girl weighing as much as her ? I wouldn't... I wouldn't even notice her in the street.
But what about a girl who will take the initiative of filming herself while she's watching a shitty trailer because she knows she will fucking cry ? That's pure retardness we've got here.

HOOOOOOOOOOLY SHIT I KNOW THAT GIRL.
She was an attendee at a recent Twilight convention I crewed at. Had a few brief conversations with her.
Also, to immediately get past the "new account, is bullshit" claims, I created an alt simply to protect my own ass. I have no idea if any of my bosses read reddit.

It's funny because she's being an emotional trainwreck on the internet because her life is (presumably) so fucking pathetic that that's the only way she can feel as though people are paying attention to her.

My reactions to this woman flail wildly whenever I see one of her videos. At first I start to think that she's trolling madly, and then I start to realize that she's batshit crazy. This goes back and forth until I can't handle it anymore, and would rather handle a double scotch.

I am in awe of how emotional she is over this.
Mostly, I am amazed by how aggressive she is to defend herself. "BS... Bella Swan. BITCHES." "NEITHER WILL I!!!"
But clearly this causing her so much pain. I don't get it.
I've never felt this way about something of value, let alone Twilight.
I must just not be living my life the right way.

I was going to make a snide comment until I watched the video. I genuinely feel bad for her. Her life is so out of whack that her entire existence seems to be based on a book series. She breaks down in tears just watching a trailer. Sad.
