Nobody gave a flying fuck when Amy Schumer and Lena Dunham openly admitted to being rapists and pedophiles. Nobody cared when Amherst expelled a man who was raped while unconscious because his rapists claimed to have "withdrawn consent".
Your entire argument falls flat on its face when confronted with reality. This isn't about victims or equality, it's a witch hunt where all it takes is a social media post to ruin people's entire lives and career without a shred of evidence. Hell a Welsh Labor MP killed himself because he was suspended on charges he wasn't even allowed to know. We've literally hit the point where people are having their lives ruined and aren't even allowed to know what they're being accused of.
Again: My property, that I own, and I can modify and use however I want. Ford doesn't get to tell me I'm not allowed to install aftermarket tires on their truck and go mudding.
No, it isn't. It's not their property, it never was their property. It's my property. I bought it, I own it, and I can fucking use it however I damn well please. EA doesn't get to decide whether or not I can play the game I paid cash for.
it's absolutely hypocrisy for very public subs and major multi-sub-spanning groups, with years long histories of doxing and long-term severe harassment and abusive behavior, to ALWAYS be given a free pass to continue their utterly toxic behavior because of their direct association with the admin staff. And there's nothing fallacious about pointing out that people who openly organize real world violence and supposedly intolerable banworthy behavior like doxing have constantly gotten away with it while other subs whose only crime is being distasteful are shut down one after the other.
They're also following the usual hypocritical pattern of retroactively banning everyone guilty of wrongthink while allowing latestagecapitalism, anarchy, SRS and its owned subs, and the like to get away with posting a sticky saying "Guys no more doxing and violence, we're super duper cereal this time"
Google's support for everything has always been the worst out there, because for the most part they don't even have any. I've got a gmail account that I've been using for at least 7 years as a "send mail as" account but lost the password to and can't recover. There's literally no way for me to speak to any human being at google in any way to fix this. Any human could take one look at the system and see it's consistently been used for almost a decade, but all they've got is the terribly designed users-only forum.
At least Valve pretends to have some semblance of customer service.
Amazon and Newegg both went to shit when they opened themselves up to being filled with chinese knockoffs in the "marketplace". It basically turned them into a more expensive ebay where you need to try and hunt for the one legitimate seller page and thenhope Amazon's mixed inventory doesn't send you the knockoff anyway (like happened with the eclipse glasses).
Hell even on Ebay you used to at least be able to just block any listing not in North America, although now even that doesn't work.
The irony is that the people calling trump and everyone to the right of the khmer rouge a nazi are the ones who actually commit real world violence against jews and marched by the millions behind a convicted jew-killing terrorist.
Of course you are. And then when confronted with jews and women and minorities in real life where you can't simply pretend they're not the very people you claim to represent you simply dump jars of piss on their heads or violently attack them.
A silently released "woopsy so sad too bad" blurb well after the damage has been done isn't a meaningful retraction or correction, it's a joke at best. Just look at how many people STILL vehemently insist on prosecuting the UVA rape that never was. Or even better look at the AP's institutionalized bias against Israel in all its reporting, as revealed by its own former reporters such as Matti Friedman.
Chronic Fatigue Syndome, aka "I feel tired and achy all the time", does not violate the laws of fucking physics. You do not magically need massively more food than everyone else, nor are you magically able to become obese on less than the TDEE of a completely physically immobile paralyzed individual. The only thing it does affect is how you feel, which is why I specifically listed foods you dont even need to work more than nuking something to prepare. So unless you're literally completely 100% immobilized in bed and yet simultaneously living off of thousands of calories worth of twinkies a day straight out of the box (that you somehow open and shove into your gaping maw without moving because remember you're 100% paralyzed), you're still at a TDEE around 1600ish.
I did and none of it worked without causing me severe pain and distress.
Guess what: When you're used to shoving enormous quantities of food or tons of sugared up and salted processed fast food down your gullet every day a normal diet isn't going to feel all that great. Neither is losing weight or working out. It's called working for a reason. That's not a bug, that's a feature. What you're complaining about here is having to put effort into and accept discomfort from life.
If you think thermodynamics is the only answer, then riddle me these: Why does a glass of water have 0 calories but energy in joules? Why do you think the body's metabolism works like a simple calorimeter device?
My phone battery has energy in joules too, it's also zero calories.
Why do I gain weight when I drink water if it doesn't have calories?
Because water has mass and occupies space. Drink 50 grams of water and you'll weigh 50 grams more until you sweat, shit, and piss it out. Try living off of water, you can't do it because there's no meaningful caloric energy in water.
I'm sorry that the laws of physics are inconvenient for you, but at least you admit that the only problem here is that you're simply incapable of the self control to not overeat.
Let's do some imaginary calculations. Say you're 5 nothing, 30 years old, and about 200lbs. Even someone who is literally completely paralyzed still has a TDEE around 1500 calories a day, meaning just by being alive they're burning that many calories every day. So even if you were to literally live your entire life utterly stationary and doing nothing but breathing that alone would still have you holding a steady weight if you only ate 1500 calories a day, which is more than enough to have a very solid nutritional intake.
Bump that up to someone who's not paralyzed but is almost always sitting or laying down and even that little movement alone raises your TDEE to around 1700 calories. Desk job? 1800-1900.
But let's say it's not that bad, let's say you're 5'3" and only about 160lbs. Your TDEE is still going to be 1400 if you're completely paralyzed and still just under 1600 if you work from home and basically never get out of bed.
Calories in > Calories out = Weight Gain. Calories in Calories out = Weight Loss.
You are not an exception to the laws of physics. You can work on both sides of the inequality. Your problem isn't that you're not active enough, it's that you've got such a powerful external locus of control that you don't get just how much this is within your power to change. Look here, I'll do it for you:
Breakfast: 2x recommended serving of a bowl of cereal with 2% milk. Lunch: A sandwich with the lunchmeat of your choice Dinner: Steamed veggies (microwave) or fresh veggies (grocery store bag), and microwaved tyson chicken strips (specifically these since they're legit straight chicken with sane sodium levels and no gnarly bullshit added). If you've got the cash get a zojirushi because it's fucking awesome to have rice that stays fresh for 12 hours and/or a week's oatmeal on demand.
There you go. That should top out around 1200-1400 calories, have a pretty decent nutritional content, and everything is made by either pushing buttons or just dumping it on a plate/bowl. Eat high fiber foods with adequate protein and you'll feel fuller longer. It's low-fiber high-calorie shit that tricks you into overeating because of how small the portions are and how unfilling it is for its calorie count.
This shit is why feminism hurts women. It teaches people to believe they're powerless, weak, and can't do things instead of instilling in them an external locus of control and belief they're non-agents in their lives who are only ever acted upon by outside forces. It's not their fault they're overweight or unhealthy, it's society's fault, it's the patriarchy's fault, it's their ex's fault, everyone but their own. And when everything is everyone else's fault you have no power to change your situation anymore.
Ami, there is no health issue that requires you to be overweight. All you have to do is eat less calories than you burn to loss weight or eat roughly the same number to maintain weight.
Literally everyone can be not overweight. All you have to do is not overeat, it's not hard to just not shove food down your gullet in quantities that force your body to store fat and balloon to excessive sizes. You literally just have to not actively overeat.
How many of these people either work, study, or work and study to the point they're often tired and/or sleep deprived and use energy drinks as a crutch to keep going?
The problem isn't because of tort law, it's because of lack of meaningful regulation on places like amazon that allow counterfeiters to sell things and mix up inventory so much that even legitimate sellers have the counterfeiters' knockoffs sold from their storefront.
That's exactly what they do, or in the case of corporations they just outright ignore the law and treat whatever penalty they get as an operating expense because it's so pathetic compared to their profits there's no reason to care.
So you're telling me Vice and other outlets haven't passionately defended Gawker and written hit piece after hit piece against their patriarchaltright boogeyman after Gawker was sued for publishing an illegally obtained sex tape? The very thing they also claimed is the worst thing in the world when it happened to pretty women?

"Bias" that results in a habitual pattern of publishing outright falsehoods or wording things in such a way as to promote false beliefs is fake news.

now you're back to screaming "victimizing women!". Make up your fucking minds already.
