Whats this "above sea level" you refer to? 😛

2018-09-08 17:47:20 UTC  

🤔

2018-09-08 17:48:10 UTC  

That's what, like a 3h drive? That's less time than it takes for me to visit my grandmother, and she lives relatively close

2018-09-08 17:48:30 UTC  

3h drive and i'm in a different country, with a different language 😦

2018-09-08 17:49:31 UTC  

It takes like 7 hours to reach some towns on the highway at full fuckoff speed, and they're of even a third of the way up the province

2018-09-08 17:49:48 UTC  

Half my country is below the sea 😛

2018-09-08 17:50:09 UTC  

I live in a mountainous region that is also huge

2018-09-08 17:50:32 UTC  

And quite often the nearby facilities don't have what people need, so they have to come all the way down to the border

2018-09-08 17:50:44 UTC  

apparently my flat (at least the ground floor) is 2.69metres above sea level

2018-09-08 17:57:40 UTC  

So the Taliban is on Twitter?

2018-09-08 17:57:50 UTC  

All I see are anti-Taliban accounts.

2018-09-08 18:01:24 UTC  

I saw Tim's tweet about the obese model thing and just remembered I saw this from Clickhole

2018-09-08 18:01:26 UTC  

It's a bloody perfect summary

2018-09-08 18:02:24 UTC  

wow she seems fatphobic

2018-09-08 18:03:12 UTC  

Kek

2018-09-08 18:04:43 UTC  

Oh wait maybe its that body positivity thing

2018-09-08 18:04:54 UTC  

The idea that you should love yourself no matter your size

2018-09-08 18:04:55 UTC  

My favorite thing about this whole ordeal is all the people I've seen who call the cover inspiring then asking people 'how is a woman just appearing on a cover promoting unhealthy lifestyles?' when the exact same argument was made to convince people it was wrong to have extremely thin models.

2018-09-08 18:05:03 UTC  

I think that means you can like yourself if youre healthy too

2018-09-08 18:05:06 UTC  

Not just unhealthy

2018-09-08 18:05:21 UTC  

Everyone that tries to do Onion-esque comedy fails

2018-09-08 18:05:25 UTC  

Why is that

2018-09-08 18:05:39 UTC  

Because onion knows what theyre doing

2018-09-08 18:05:43 UTC  

You can love yourself despite your flaws but still want to improve yourself. That improvement should be part of loving yourself.

2018-09-08 18:05:48 UTC  

They take it to the right level of ridiculous

2018-09-08 18:06:02 UTC  

Clickhole is part of The Onion.

2018-09-08 18:06:07 UTC  

Take a plausible story and create a weird scenario relating to it

2018-09-08 18:07:16 UTC  

For example when talking about Muller investigation theyll run a story describing how Muller was snooping around inside donald trump's home when he returned early

2018-09-08 18:07:29 UTC  

And had to hang off the celiing for hours until he went to bed

2018-09-08 18:07:39 UTC  

Guys Clickhole is a parody website ran by the Onion for the record

2018-09-08 18:07:43 UTC  

They were memeing about it

2018-09-08 18:07:45 UTC  

seems like marketers want any body shape except average 😛

2018-09-08 18:07:59 UTC  

but then i guess people dont wanna really see average?

2018-09-08 18:08:15 UTC  

Back from AFK anyway

2018-09-08 18:08:21 UTC  

I know that's why I brought it up

2018-09-08 18:09:10 UTC  

Marketers just want whatever will get them the most attention, and vocal minority mobs have used that to their advantage by doing their best to monopolize conversation

2018-09-08 18:09:38 UTC  

I see it like this; fat people know they're fat, but "love yourself" gets conflated with "it's unhealthy". People should realise it's the wrong choice to be unhealthy but you can *still make that choice.* The problem is advertising unhealthy lifestyle choices to children, which is why we don't advertise cigarettes or guns to children

2018-09-08 18:09:57 UTC  

Because they're too young to understand fully the repercussions

2018-09-08 18:10:32 UTC  

They didn't just have an overnight moral rebirth and have realized the error of their ways, they carefully measured the public opinion and decided that any criticism earned from this move was worth the praise and attention

2018-09-08 18:14:41 UTC  

Iran so hostile towards US... always... 😛 https://twitter.com/Ruptly/status/1038473287754383361?s=20
