I don’t understand the right’s war on fat people.
Sure, morbid obesity isn’t healthy. One can argue that it is against somewhat universal beauty standards. But constantly belaboring the point?
No, just leave people alone.
I believe we have only scratched the surface of weight loss and what it all means and there is so much info out there, some helpful some totally fake, that it is not easy for people.
Overweight people should never be praised or ridiculed. Just relax.
The Northman was an entertaining movie. Maybe a little slow, but good action, and sets, and all that. It was kinda stylized and dreamlike, like an Ingmar Bergman film, and I say that having never watched a Bergman film.
In this movie the Northman is played by Alexander Skarsgard. His mother is played by Nicole Kidman.
But.
In Big Little Lies, the hit show on HBO, Nicole Kidman plays Alexander Skarsgard’s wife.
And that’s my takeaway.
I was having lunch at work with some colleagues. One smart the other not so much. I’m always amazed at how dumb people can be. Like life has to way easier than I thought. Anyway we wind up on the subject of bad people.
I said, “I recently read something that shows how awful this world is because that by comparison, Hitler is really not that bad of a guy.
To make it clear, look up the statistics of people killed and over what span of time. Hitler is very low on that list. That’s all I was saying. I was not saying literarily that Hitler was not bad but rather that, “Hey, you think Hitler’s bad, check out these other guys.”
The smart guy just stared at me.
The not so smart one said “Don’t say that.” Don’t say that is the classic response of the stupid person.
It doesn’t even matter what you say. Only what they think you said, what they say you said.
It just reinforces the idea that you shouldn’t talk to anyone at work.
