I hate to say this but I think capitalism commercialism consumerism high fructose corn syrup have a little bit more to do with it then people needing an authority figure.

Just saying because last I checked literately nothing has anything short of hot body beach sexy people in it, from movies the TV to social media. So much that’s causing massive depression throughout the country, so there’s plenty of influencers telling people to lose weight.

Turns out that doesn’t work you can tell people to eat cupcakes but you cannot tell people not to eat cupcakes.

I misread this at first

Yeah social media influencers aren't healthy for two groups of people: 1. Kids of all ages and 2. Gullible adults who don't realize what many of those influencers are doing to cheat

If you have knowledge of not only the privilege that being attractive gives, but also of the filters/lighting/editing used in those photos, and the PED's some are taking and lying about, and take all of those things into consideration when they tell you how good their life is or instruct you on what you should do.....then you can compare yourself to them without it negatively affecting your self-esteem. You can even possibly glean some useful information sometimes, at least I have

But a lot of people don't have that understanding, so they compare and become depressed, or they try to emulate and fail and become depressed

So I wouldn't say social media health influencers are bad, but it would be better for everyone if they lied less and everyone else was more informed on the things I mentioned above

But in regards to problems in this country, being physically unhealthy is by far the simplest to solve. So many other issues are so much more crazy complex

Agreed. We still haven’t heard people in positions of power tell people that being fat and lazy is bad.

We used to. These days it's totally acceptable to be fat and lazy. It's sometimes even celebrated.

There was another one I saw where a mother was proud of her daughter dieting and exercising to lose weight, and one of the comments was about how dieting is like sentencing her to prison. I can't find it now but maybe later on my home PC if I can remember.

Endless progress is a dangerous idea. I believe this to be fact. It's fact because in every instance in my own life I have seen how constant change only leads to chaos. Stability and slow growth lead to strength.

The fact is you where bred to be weak, fragile, suffer immensely, and be short lived. And easy to manipulate and explooit. Probably by a satanic secret society of selfish beings who literally just want to spite G-d, nature.

The inverse is definitely not true.

I guess privileged is one term you could use yeah. I think other terms are more accurate now though.

Assuming you were in to this, can you imagine how much it’d cost to take her out to dinner?

All progressives and ultra rich conservatives are privileged, which is why they shove their agenda down everyone's throat.

But everyone else gets shamed for being privilege, while those two groups go on camping trips in Iceland and post about it on elf sim forums.
