The only reason to point out her weight is to trigger some unnecessary reaction of disgust from people. It’s not a matter of factual or not, it’s not relevant at all to the story about “abducting and torturing” a person. Why does it matter at all that she’s obese? They didn’t put “short dark haired, white, brown eyed…” They chose obese for a reason and to me it’s kinda gross to be enforcing the whole “weight shame” thing. Like yeah this person is supremely fucked up, but you put that stuff out there like it’s normal and ok to shame someone for which has an effect when taken in with the rest of what we observe in any given day.
What dailymail has to do with it is they’re a shit rag tabloid outlet that runs the kind of nonsense stories you’d used to see about people finding Bigfoot and whatnot so it makes sense they’d be framing something like this. It’s a form of click bait to be honest, it doesn’t have to be a lie to be click bait it just has to attract your click. The obese part isn’t necessary but it might get someone to click.

I think this is just a supermarket thing. It’s a generic label for the purpose of their inventory system for things they make themselves as opposed to something they sell that was purchased from a primary vendor.
My supermarket has a deli I can order sandwiches from and they’ll have “lunch” or something to that effect on the label that has the barcode on it.
We do have very “strict” food labeling laws as far as what you can call a thing based on what’s in it, so much so that I basically call it “food language.” For example a product that is made with synthetic chocolate is not allowed to be called simply “chocolate,” it can be called chocolaty or I think chocolate flavored, but not “chocolate.”

- Comment on I look forward to the day AI becomes sentient and takes over. It can't be dumber than the people currently in charge. If it starts destroying everything I'm comforted by the fact we dont share genes. 1 week ago:
I would hope for that kind of AI in the distant future, hopefully one where we’ve moved past the concept that the “owners” of the AI deserve 100% of profit generated by the AI. Otherwise we’re going to have AI and robotics capable of doing the vast majority of work, and a gigantic population that can’t afford to feed themselves.
Which lying, self absorbed, narcissistic, greedy, asshole runs the country will be much lower on the list of concerns in that world. Unfortunately I think we’re charging head first into a world where “there are too many people” becomes a common talking point because of lack of work. :(
- Comment on what language would be best for me to learn? 1 week ago:
What are you going to do with Italian, honestly?
Lol even though I have Italian ancestry this is exactly why I chose Spanish instead when I needed to choose a language to study in highschool. I’ve since forgotten a bunch of it, but it still helps since I’ve always worked with a least a few Spanish speaking people that didn’t speak English well.
- Comment on what language would be best for me to learn? 1 week ago:
Depends on why you want to learn the language. I’d say mandarin could be very useful to know for future employment prospects.

Not that I believe one exists.

I only put US specifically because I don’t know how other countries do it. The joke was just about a bunch of politicians having an orgasm after every sentence lol
- Comment on [deleted] 2 weeks ago:
Because of the people it involves, it almost never is genuine applause for one and the thought of just one political party having all their representatives “orgasm” after every single line that is said while the other sits there silent or disgruntled adds to the humor.
- Comment on What are your thoughts about AI? 2 weeks ago:
It was fun for a time when their API access was free so some game developers put llms into their games. I liked being able to communicate with my ships computer, but quickly saw how flawed it was.
“Computer, can you tell me what system we’re in?”
“Sure, we’re in the Goober system.”
“But my map says we’re in Tweedledum.”
“Well it appears that your map is wrong.” Lol
I’m much more concerned about the future when “AGI” is actually useful and implemented into society. “We” (the ownership class) cannot accept anything other than the standard form of ownership. Those that created the AGI own the AGI and “rent” it to those that will “employ” the AGI. Pair that with more capable robotics being currently developed and there will be very little need for people to work most jobs. Because of the concept of ownership we will not let go of, if you can afford to live then you just die. There will be no “redistribution” to help those who cannot find work. We will start hearing more and more about “we don’t need so many people, X billion is too many. There isn’t enough work for them to support themselves.” Not a fun future…

- Comment on Star Citizen’s new cash shop offerings provoked fresh pay-to-win and predatory monetization accusations | Massively Overpowered 2 weeks ago:
If they were smart they would put all of their eggs into squadron 42, make it as good as they can
They did, it’s why star citizen was lagging behind so hard for so long. All the production focus went into squadron 42 like 6ish years ago. Squadron 42 is announced for release next year and since the announcement they turned production focus back to star citizen. Still SC 1.0 is going to be years away still because they’re so damn slow with everything they do…
- Comment on Trump says US will unilaterally set new tariff rates for scores of countries 2 weeks ago:
Trump talks tarrifs in the beginning, markets panic, Trump and friends buy. Trump announces delay, markets recover, Trump and friends sell. Trump announces 5272583372516% tarrifs on China, markets panic, Trump and friends buy. Trump “reaches agreement” with China, markets recover, Trump and friends sell. Trump announces unilateral tarrifs…
Yeah. No pattern at all.

That’s $20.50 an hour. She could work at Costco for $30 an hour.
I wish! It’s really hard to get into Costco because people like working there so much they don’t leave! Lol I tried and they generally only take a few people in from their seasonal hires, working in the bakery I guess I was too “hidden” and didn’t get chosen to stay lol
- Comment on Why aren't Americans filling the manufacturing jobs we already have? 3 weeks ago:
I feel like this is one of the major issues we face when it comes to pay. The people setting the prices are stuck living in 2000 thinking they’re offering a good wage, then “The Market” does it’s thing and every asshat looks at every other asshats offerings and sets their wages similarly…
- Comment on Why aren't Americans filling the manufacturing jobs we already have? 3 weeks ago:
The answer is pay…
I live in a VHCOL area and the factory that I work at is still looking to hire people at $17/hr… That’s taco Bell wages. Hell at this point that’s less than taco bell wages around here…

- Comment on US popularity collapses worldwide in wake of Trump’s return 3 weeks ago:
I think most people don’t realize they are mad about the repercussions of a somewhat “unchecked” capitalist system and point the blame (rightfully) at “insiders” and “elites” who they believe are enriching themselves at our expense. The Reich wing media also works wonders at directing “class conflict” into “social conflict” blaming immigrants and people who aren’t the same as them for all of our issues…
Where they fall flat is voting for the absolute embodiment of capitalist greed and somehow believe that because he isn’t an “insider” that means he gives a shit about them…
Propaganda is a hell of a drug.
