i guess my expectations are still set too high for these people

i don't really care that much about the issue or these people but from a physiological point of view they don't even need to "diet" in the sense of running a calorie deficit from an normal person's diet. they could lose weight by eating 2,000 calories a day without going to a gym or do anything extraordinary, simply because the human body doesn't like to be at extremes, either too low bodyfat or 80% bodyfat
half the time there's probably a thyroid condition as a contributing factor. like even a normal diet would have them plateauing out at over 250lbs which is still plenty enough for normal right thinking folks to say "ugh, disgusting, harpoon it and hang it up as an example"
i don't think that's true. thyroid issues aren't that prevalent and america has a very high obesity rate. high thyroid levels are more common than low iirc
why would you require consent from a cow to penetrate its vagina when fondling its nipples and BUTCHERING IT are tacitly assumed to be just fine.
like I said earlier, it is utterly foolish to think social taboos are derived from some coherent notions of morality.

shame is good if it will stop goatstein from fucking his own sister

i'm sorry but none of these terms compute, it's like, i understand what you're trying to say but it's as if none of that actually means anything?

exactly, social taboos largely derive from the "that's gross" factor.

"murder" describes a certain relation between two people though, it's not an act in itself. like its a legal concept. what makes a death a murder is socially constructed. murder, sacrifice, execution, euthenasia, combat, etc. are not "things" in the first place at all
that said i don't subscribe to a ratiocentric utilitarian morality either. thigns are good because the creator decreed them to be so, and so they are.

"If you did not commit sins, Allah would sweep you out of existence and replace you by another people who would commit sins, ask for Allah’s forgiveness and He would forgive them.”i believe you're forgetting a little something called, what was it? Oh yeah IT WAS WORLD WAR FUCKING TWO.
i totally did forget about that for a second. thanks for reminding me. cant wait for the trigger warning rule to be implemented once we get a real mod up in this piece.

um well how about i meant it like god's knowledge transcends "knowing" because that implies that there is something to know other than himself
