RE Adele weight loss I think Adele's weight/fat loss - and indeed anyone's weight/fat loss- is a journey FOR HER. She's put her effort into herself, and done it for herself. If she wasn't comfortable at her own size, we shouldn't shame her for wanting to improve that, nor should we shame others for praising her hard work. Start shaming the people who shame fat people for being worthless and useless, because those are the people who create the problem. Hold each other up, don't be a bucket of crabs! I was bullied for almost all of my formative years to the point of having an eating disorder and body dysmorphia because so many people attach self-worth to weight and size. I still struggle to see myself as worth anything because I wobble, but I took two personal trainers over 2 years, worked on my strength and performance without the scale, and worked towards what would make ME happy. My eating disorder is gone (I see food as performance fuel now, rather than the enemy it isn't) and although I have moments where I think 'ew, u wobbly cow', I have more moments where I think 'damn girl DAT BOOTY'. Weight/fat loss nowadays is more personal than because of peer pressure. Be mindful!

Here's the thing with the Adele story: any celebration would be null if she did plastic surgery. Then they just admitted the narrative that skinny is pretty at all costs and I'd LOVE to see these superfical hypocritical guilty pleasure magazines getting called out on this. Adele didn't mention her weightloss, and nobody knows how she lost that weight, so if you want to congratulate her then there is a possibility you enforce the narrative that surgically alter your body to fit an image is right. On Uber/Lyft: Wait, wait, wait! If you regulate your own time and hours how can you be let go? It's possible that there are no work, but you can't be cut in those instances. A contractor who can't find construction gigs can't specifically get fired or let go because there are no jobs out there. Seems like they're employers after all. Maduro: I mean, the guy's an asshole but he has provided more evidence than anoyne else. The US was most likely behind this with help from Guaido.

Celebrate peoples hard work, overweight just another word for not being healthy. Being unhealthy and working your ass off to change it is something for celebration. Uber/lyft going to leave california just like a lot of its citizens. Forcing business to do what the government wants will insure a lot less employees so they can hold that standard. US Backed but they allegedly captured mercenaries? Yea I think the mudro regime is confusing bounty with backing. Venezuela sank its own navy vessel in april trying to ram a cruise ship because it was doing engine maintenance outside their waters. Claiming the German private owned cruise liner was carrying mercenaries. Cruise ship was designed to get through ice filled waters, it suffered very little damage and called into the coast that the ship was sinking and left the area for the next port.

This Venezuela situation sounds like one of three things. 1. the US is lying out of there ass to save face in the eyes of the international community so they don't get seen as invaders of another country. 2. maduro got another group to hire the mercenaries with the explicit idea of exploiting there connection to Trump to paint the US badly and try to take fire off of himself and throw it to the US instead. Or 3. the bounty that was put on acted as motivation for the group to try to take Maduro down, the Americans was mainly just mercs being mercs and not anything heinous with Maduro just trying to blow it up to paint the US badly and the US trying to distance themselves since the bounty means they technically could.

It's all fake Maduro needs the people of Venezuela to rally behind him. He's lost so much of his peoples faith due to USA influence. So then what better way to gain influence by staging a fake Terrorist attack from USA. He did this because Venezuela is favoring democracy and the USA. When Venezuela was having food/medical shortages the USA was sending supplies and offered Military Support. Maduro on the other hand was letting his people suffer from hunger and disease, destroyed supply shipments, and threatened war with any country trying to help. He has to fake this event because he's losing control of Venezuela.

Just my two cents on the weight loss thing. I gained a lot of weight on birth control and when I got off the pill I had a ton of people commenting on how good I looked and asking what I did to lose weight. It felt sort of backhanded because there was an assumption that I was unhealthy before or that I must have been making poor diet choices. I knew people had good intentions but it felt like there was this stigma being built up around my body and my appearance that was being conflated with my health and it made me feel uncomfortable. Almost like I was being made to feel guilty for how I looked before

Being too fat or skinny is not healthy at all, I've been both, when I was on my early teens I really skinny, only ate once a day and one day whilst playing soccer I blacked out, due to low sugar, I thought that I was going to die so I started to workout and gain a couple of lbs enough that I joined the Marine Corps, I was in excellent health, but a year after I got out I gained so much weight, I went hiking and felt my heart pumping so hard and I had I couldn't breathe, now I'm back to running, working out and eating healthy, it just feels better.

The situation in Venezuela is like this; If the government says something then it's a lie or a distortion from the truth not to taken serious or even care. It has gotten to the point that it's a monthly occurrence with them releasing a new Pote de humo or Smokescreen to turn the attention away from any other serious issue that ARE plaguing the country like and just to name a few: Illegal mining on the Amazonas, Health crisis from even before the coronavirus, Fuel shortage that has the entire country halt, Rampage inflationary crisis, etc.

Women are always being made to feel that our appearance is directly related to our value. To see someone like Adele who is iconic, beautiful, inspiring, and talented get so much attention for her weight it almost dismisses all of her success and talent and says her body is more important than any of that. That she is somehow even more valuable now. She was always awesome, she was always beautiful. It s great that she might be even healthier now and she has confidence in her body but it s almost insulting to reduce her down to that.
