      Go shovel concrete for hours/days/weeks on end and start your day with oatmeal and bacon, and end it with beef stew and a whiskey. Drink bucket water throughout.

      He cerlainly is! But in this case the fact that you’re cis is not really relevant, it’s more the fact that you’re heterosexual, which is not the same :)

    People need to lay off the pizza and do some exercise, any exercise.

    So many people are so overweight. That’s how most young guys should look!

      Fuckin’ A! My god, I’m about to be 53 and that was me most of my life. 6-months of hard work would put be back in that zone.

      Kids: Y’all are fat. And yes, it’s your fault. Yes, you have control over this situation. No, you are not powerless. No, that’s not fat shaming.

        Kids: It’s your fault for not performing grueling manual labor 14 hours a day, 7 days a week, with no worker protections, in the Mojave fuckin Desert, whilst contending with food scarcity, during the Great Depression.

        Shame on all y’all not-willing-to-die pudgekins.

      I’m Gen X. It’s amazing when I go back and watch shows and movies from my childhood that had a token fat character in them, because that character looks like an average person today. Look at Chunk from the Goonies. He was considered fat enough to have a nickname like Chunk, but he looks like the majority of kids I see now.
