Then they should potentially be even more likely to be correctly diagnosed in people that are overweight. Having issues exacerbated by your weight does not mean that your weight is the issue. Additionally, PCOS and cancer can both cause weight issues, so it's even less helpful to suggest that the weight is the issue if the weight could be caused by an underlying disease.

I did not say that only women or PoC get this suggestion, just that it's common for their issues to be dismissed. I don't know your personal medical history, but sometimes it is just that people need better diet and exercise. That does apply to women and PoC too. It's possible that advice is or is not salient to your health, but I can speak from personal experience that it is used to dismiss life threatening conditions.

I don’t know where you live, but 1/3 of Americans don't have a primary care physician and almost half of Americans didn't get medical treatment due to costs in 2022 from a cursory search. This is not a population that can afford frivolous medical visits. I don't know where in the medical field you worked, but your assertion does not seem evidence based. That may well be your personal experience, but that is subject to so many biases and if you were not giving people a full range of tests, how could you even know you weren't turning away legitimately sick people. Maybe the medical field was not right for you if you truly believe it's possible that most issues people seek treatment for are trivial or psychosomatic.

Appreciate your willingness to see things from another perspective and update your thoughts based on that.

Not sure if you're in community with many women or POC that feel comfortable speaking to you about these things, but VERY basic issues aren't even being looked into. PCOS and cancer are two common ones. Things can vary place to place, but it seems like a pretty universal experience in my circles.

Good Omens on Amazon

Yea, understandable in both of those scenarios, but neither was the case at the time.

FB has been terrible in my experience. Craigslist is still ok if you can filter through the spam. I once contacted a seller on FB for an item that was 300 cash. We had set a time for pickup later that day and I went to the bank to get the cash. I messaged them when I was 10 minutes out and they told me not to come because they had already sold it. I totally understand selling it if I had not been communicating or had been ignoring their messages, but the last thing we had messaged each other was just a few hours prior while agreeing on a time. They didn't even bother letting me know they had sold it. I would have just arrived at the place and they never would have shown. That, among a lot of other issues, and I won't buy or sell on FB anymore.

I just recently downloaded the sims 4 because I got a hankering to play the sims after a 5 year break from the franchise. I tried launching the sims 3, which was the last one I played, but it was having a lot of stability issues I didn't have the patience to fix since I could try the sims 4 for free. I am generally disappointed in the base game of ts4. I only have pets and seasons for ts3, but maybe that really is making a big difference, but the gameplay of ts4 is far less enjoyable in my opinion. Build mode is much improved, but I miss the create a style option which made the world feel more varied. You also can't change the size or placement of lots, and the worlds feel much smaller. I don't like the moodlets focused gameplay or the incremental lifetime wish rewards. It really forces all sims to share a specific path to an end goal when in reality there may be several other ways to achieve the end result. I'm also not a fan of the more cartoonish look, but that is more of a stylistic preference rather than a legitimate criticism.

DLC would likely improve my experience playing, but I don't really enjoy the base game enough to invest in any DLC at all. Overall, it probably wouldn't hurt to download if you think you would be interested in it, but I have to agree with the other commenters that it's just a DLC trap, and I say that as somebody who is heavily invested in the Crusader Kings franchise.

I have never had a bad experience with an early access game. I generally only buy early access games from indie studios I am already familiar with, and have never purchased an early access AAA game. I genuinely enjoyed the early access aspect of several games, playing them through different stages in development extends the playtime in my opinion. Every new update feels like free DLC, but the game I purchased felt complete already. In my opinion, early access is far better than kickstarter for games, since at least there is a game you are purchasing and gameplay footage is publicly available, but sometimes these are legitimately the only ways to fund a game.

The issue is that the criticism is generally not valid. If you're criticizing a colleague for poor time management because they legitimately have poor time management, fine, whatever. It's not something I would do, but there may be cases in which that is done. In the context of this meme, it is likely not the individuals fault that they are overworked. It is likely a systemic failure that foists too many tasks on each individual worker. Generally, the people "bragging" about working additional hours are not poor performing employees, but people that are dedicated to their job or the company, and believe that the additional hours will help them advance their careers. Approaching it from a place of "if you are a good worker, they should treat you better, not worse" rather than shaming the individual is most likely to help them see the issue with that sentiment. Also, I'm pretty sure it was just a spelling error, but just to be clear I believe this is anti-worker, not anti-work.

Shame is not as effective as offering support, especially since the root cause of the behavior is not necessarily in the persons control. Working additional hours might be seen as a requirement in some fields, so you might be shaming them into not talking about the issue, but the best way to actually solve the problem would likely be to empathize with them and change their perspective.

If someone is in an abusive relationship and they mention the abuse to someone, shaming them for being in that relationship and subjecting themselves to that behavior is unlikely to fix anything. Offering them compassion and support and safe alternatives is demonstrably more effective. Shame is likely to make them more defensive about their choices or stop talking about the abuse they suffer entirely, especially if the issue is not entirely in their control. I think similar behavior and responses would be elicited in the case of working relationships as well. 

The fact that you suggest it's a cultural issue and then state it can be rectified by organizing is exactly my point. This person is essentially shaming the individual worker for falling prey to a cultural and systemic problem.

I never said we need a socialist revolution. In this context I left system open ended, but you can't effectively organize anything with people you're hostile to and unwilling to build solidarity with. I don't think a socialist revolution is likely or even necessary, but more empathy is. The OP sentiment is not foreplay, it's outright rejection. It seems like we are actually in agreement.
