this is what we call “propganda.” bernie sanders suspends his campaign AKA he wont spend money advertising himself anymore (bc he wants to help with the pandemic) but he’s still in the race. news sources JUMP on the fact that he’s stopped campaigning to tell everyone “WHOOPS he dropped out! better go vote biden! no other option bc bernie dropped out of the race :/” when he fucking didnt!
Y’all are just living on an entirely different plane of existence huh

If white is number one in exile, why does black keep getting better exile cards in every set? Is black now number 1?
White, by default, has more exiling cards, but in sets where graveyard matters, we put in more exiling effects overall and, as black has the most creature kill, in those sets can get more exile.
I love how he just completely side steps the question of black being number 1 in exile now (it is).
fuhgedda bottit. light em up vinny he’s gonna be sleepin with da fishes

I have a question. Why are men like that
Use punctuation, preferably a question mark when asking a question.
Could you be more specific?
How much time do you have? It will take quite some time to analyse what made me this way.
Btw that gif is of Richard Ramirez, a serial killer/rapist who terrorized women as the “Night Stalker”.
Why are men like that
obsessed with how flagrantly cnn is photoshopping bernie to make him look like he's decaying
but remember the media is socialist and liberal according to many lmaoooo down with the corporate media!
he is 78
He literally looks redder in the other image

when Jasmine Masters said Burger King? How are you? Are you hiring today? Oh great, I will be down in a momentarily to fill up a application.
This month I’ve decided to participate in an event called “October,” where for every day in October I’m going to experience a day in October.
Here’s the prompt list I’m using in case anyone wants to join me in this challenge:
Next month I’m thinking of trying out the “No November November” challenge, where I’ll refrain from experiencing November for the whole month of November.
There are some very angry people in my notes and inbox this week. Apparently, I am “toxic” and “evil” because I reported the results of 50 years of weight-loss research. They are mad because the research definitively and conclusively demonstrates that long-term maintenance of weight loss is virtually impossible. They also think I am “delusional” because I criticize the medical establishment for keeping this fact a secret from the general public.
The truth is that the ineffectiveness and harmful nature of intentional weight-loss is well known within the scientific and medical communities. If pressed, most doctors will affirm that their clinical experience conforms to the scientific results: Basically everyone who loses weight will go on to regain that weight within 3-5 years. In 75% of cases, they will regain more weight than they lost.
This knowledge is why doctors became so desperate that they resorted to amputating parts of the digestive tract in the hopes that it might finally result in long-term weight-loss. Except oops, that doesn’t work either. Oh, and it causes death, addiction, malnutrition, and suicide. Whoopsie daisy.
Diet culture is fucking toxic. And people deserve to know the truth.
Both OP and the people behind the first source they link are conflating dieting with weight-loss and OP demonstrates a broad-spectrum inability to read and understand studies, or an unwillingness to read them, or knows that they are misrepresenting them and does not care. But it is one of those three, because there is no other explanation for outright contradicting the very studies they cite.
Blindly adhering to a regime of calorie restriction with literally no other consideration is bad. And this is something that is easy to walk into if you’re messing around the basics of a weight-watchers programs, or if you’re just reading the big number at the top of nutrition labels. While I have never had to seriously diet, I have very little way of commenting on whether or not the culture of the people invested in is bad, the concept of dieting is not bad.
Weight loss is important for general long-term healthcare in the obese population group. And bariatric surgeries, like gastric bypass, are some of the safest and most effective treatments for morbid obesity. This is something that one of OP’s sources agrees with.
In the study OP cites when they claim that bariatric surgeries lead to death, in the conclusion of that study it says “Bariatric surgery results in clinical improvement and resolution of the obesity-related co-morbid diseases.” It also says “There was a substantial excess of deaths owing to suicide and coronary heart disease.” Which are problems that the surgery would neither cause nor address. The ‘high mortality rate’ the study says is “likely a function of the initial comorbidites related to substantial obesity and the likelihood that the patients remain obese even after the substantial weight loss and have remaining comorbidities”. In the first LINE of that study it reads “ Bariatric surgery has emerged as the most effective treatment for class III obesity (body mass index, ≥40).”
The study OP cites claiming that gastric bypasses don’t work, actually concludes that the surgery does not see desired long term effects in 50% of patients. Among the patients who presented weight regain, which was half, an average 8% increase was observed within 60 months compared to the lowest weight obtained at 17 months after surgery not compared to original weight. And then there is the percent chance of actual surgical failure, which was highest in the superobese group, of about 1 in 5 after 4 years, which is the kind of niche that I would personally want more numbers to examine before coming to the conclusion that the treatment is ineffective in the treatment of the superobese. Particularly because the surgery itself is one of the safest routes of treatment in the first place. Again, OP is unable to understand this study, not reading it, or just lying, because the conclusion this study comes to is not the one that they claim it does.
are you implying a surgery that only works half of the time is effective
That’s really the take away you got from all that?
So first of all, saying that the surgery is only successful 50% of time, as stated by that study, is a gross over simplification of the results.
Again, that specific type of surgery as it was evaluated at the time, didn’t see the exact long term effects that they wanted to see ie: weight loss back down to where they wanted to see it in 60 months. But the weight regain is something that you don’t want to see, but the study is saying that weight regain is 8% up from the bottom. That’s not 8% gain from where they were before they had their surgery, but after the surgery. What the results say is that the surgery isn’t a magic anti-obesity stick. Well I suppose it is in 50% of cases (obvious joke), in the others the gain back SOME weight, around 8%. An 8% weight gain even after the weight they loss, could be a significant amount and absolutely could put undo pressure on their heart. But the weight gain isn’t a fault of the surgery.
Also, about the comment in your tags. The surgery should be done when heart and other organs are under dangerous amounts of stress. If they continue to suffer from heart problems (even if they die from heart problems) after the surgery, all that that means is the surgery (or some other treatment) should have happened sooner.
the entire point of gastric bypass is weight loss to “solve” extreme obesity. if people are gaining weight after it then its a failure. the entire fucking point is addressing obesity so yeah……it matters to investigate why people fucking gain weight after weight loss surgery
may I humbly propose that it could perhaps be that life and humans are just complex enough that it may be that for some reason other than scalpels and sutures that people can and do gain weight
This might help with some confusion about this topic: "if a diabetic person’s feet start to rot and a doctor has to amputate, just because the person dies of an infection doesn’t mean their foot didn’t need to be amputated to attempt to solve the problem"
