    If swear, if I fucking knew how to raise or lower somebody's metabolism, I'd set yours to fucking ZERO just to laugh at you while you ballooned up. Don't expect me to watch over you when you become suicidal. You deserve to feel anguish and total fucking despair.

    Being a lazy fat ass causes you to have medical issues, being fat will affect your thyroid/gut/everything is negative ways. So I absolutely believe it that 100% of seriously obese people have medical issues, and that some of these hurt them in any attempt to lose weight.

    Do you actually think that being obese does not cause any negative effects on anything other than chairs?

    The body does not burn muscle or other importance organs when their is still 400 pounds of fat surrounding these organs, period. Are you actually saying that you have reason to believe that your friend's metabolise is so fucked up that it skips over her fat reserves?

    Let's just say I'm losing weight now steadily and all I did was I started to chew my food thoroughly... and I mean thoroughly. I counted 60 to 100 chews per bite.

    I immediately started eating way less food because there is now a point, pretty soon, where I find the thought of eating more becomes uncomfortable. I stop eating automatically now.

    Would it not just be more efficient to just buy a shock collar that electrocutes you every time you take a bite?

    Well I worked for public high school in North America, and that second example is accurate and was what the entire school district paid for every one of its tens of thousands of antiquated computers. Right now the US Army might not be using hammer purchases to funnel billions of tax payers dollars into private bank accounts, but I am sure you aware of projects going on right now that are doing just that.

    Underfunding? Hey, maybe the individuals who work the public sector are getting paid less, but the institutions themselves spend several times more than private sector businesses to run. It is not tax payers fault that the government chooses to underpay its more valuable staff, and then pay $600 for a hammer, or $2000 for 5 year old PCs with 10 year extended warranties (that somehow do not cover any broken parts that are no longer manufactured [which is all of them]).

    Yes, I believe he will.
    He is getting like 90% of votes in his bid to be the republican for running. Also the Democratic party is completely split, Hillary has establishment vote, but that appears to only be like 55%. Soon there will be a lot of super pissed Sanders supporters in a short while. Either he will run as an independent, and split the Democratic party 50-50, or 50% of the democratic party will be so pissed at Hillary that they will vote for literally anyone else. Add to that, there is a huge number of people who hate Hillary and would never of voted for her to begin with.

    Trump on the other hand is talking about issues that the populous actually cares about and winning huge popular support. And he has been completely open about how he will switch gears in the future and act completely differently, he will win over many of his current detractors.

    Basically it comes down to one main point. Hillary is hated because she is a piece of shit, and she cannot change that. Trump is hated because of an act he put on to win the working class to his cause, he has done that, and in a few months he will be a completely different candidate that is more acceptable to other demographics. In his words: "I'm gonna be so presidential that you people will be so bored"

    That just does not make any sense. The book, very clearly, lays out an anti-fascist rhetoric. It is far to in depth and honest sounding to ever be sarcastic. Read the book, it's not long, you will have no doubt on it being an honest attempt to put forward a moral philosophy on how a society should be governed. And it is outrageously anti-fascist in this rhetoric; that is its main, and pretty much only, theme.

    Except for honour, and not wanting to ruin a good thing by convincing the other gazillion businesses to not pay them. They have everyone reason in the world to go on down the list of inexhaustible businesses you have not extorted yet. On a purely profit motive, it is probably not even worth launching a DDoS if your extortion fails, most of the time. You just need a few public demonstrations of what will happen, if 99% of the failed extortions never lead to anything and remain private it does not matter.

    While it is obvious that this "solution" solves nothing and protects no one, the solutions put forward here are equally useless. No one who does not look up when crossing the road will install an app to make street crossings easier (and that is ignoring the technical hurdle of figuring out which road the user is crossing at the intersection, which seems like an unsolvable problem to me). And if they are engrossed in their phone, they are equally as likely to miss any indicators, on the ground, in the sky, or anywhere in-between.

    If you want to protect people from themselves, you need some sort of barrier or arm that physically blocks forward movement. Nothing else will register to someone who will miss a train barrelling towards them.

    "Both Trump and Sanders don't use money from super PACs" That is extremely misleading. No candidate uses money form super PACs as that is not how a super PAC works. Their are loads of super PACs that support sanders, he has no say in the matter, there is loads of rich people who are democratic socialists, so there is loads of money that is going to be spent on behalf of any serious contender in that area (I have heard it stated that Sanders has more super PAC money behind him than any other candidate, but I have doubts about the truth of such claims). I am sure Trump has some support as well, but for the most part the establishment seems to stay far away from him.
