Date: May 28th, 2026 12:20 PM Author: cucumbers I used to think fat people were just lazy/undisciplined/etc. until my last job became extremely stressful, and I started stress eating. Gained nearly 10 lbs really quickly and had to make drastic changes at work to stop the stress eating and drop the weight. I'm guessing a lot of chronically fat people are victims of GC fucking up their appetites and making them over-eat, although exercise, healthy eating, healthy habits, etc. are still critical.

Date: May 28th, 2026 12:38 PM Author: Richard Ames 100%. Staying in good shape basically becomes another job, especially if you have a family. Need to hit the gym? Better get up an hour early to exercise before getting ready for work. Then "work" is basically just sitting all day on a screen manipulating abstractions. Then you go home and are exhausted, but also restless. Because staring at screens is insanely unnatural. Couple that with the endless amount of processed slop that is available and engineered to taste great and it's just a brutal battle. I am in good shape, but it requires an unbelievable amount of discipline. Especially as you age. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5869614&forum_id=2Reputation#49905072) |

Date: May 28th, 2026 12:49 PM Author: Richard Ames I think it depends. If someone is carrying an extra 10 - 15 lbs, I have a lot of sympathy because of what I described. Particularly if they have kids and are 40+. If someone is carrying an extra 50+ lbs, it's obviously a different story.
But honestly a huge amount of people are basically living a zoo-like existence and GC is a big part of why. |

Date: May 28th, 2026 1:15 PM Author: Metal Up Your Ass We need to round up massive numbers of people and force them into camps under the strictest of controls for food intake and exercise regimen. In the name of science. No joke.
I 100% believe that some people are born with the genetics that make achieving certain fitness goals much harder/easier. People are definitely not the same.
But top tier doesn't make sense for most people.
Not being a chronically ill, morbidly obese piece of shit is far more important for society as a whole.
It fascinates me the way some people are committed to eating, most especially women. It's one thing to eat gc slop takeout (more like delivered these days), but the ones who essentially meal prep like a bodybuilder with 6x daily meals/snacks, except with the end result of being a whale, are the ones I can't wrap my head around. |

Date: May 28th, 2026 1:25 PM Author: You're right to push back on that. i mean we have GLP drugs now. this problem is Solved
even if someone doesn't want to get into the nuts and bolts of the Science (which takes like 30 minutes with an LLM), the overwhelming success of GLP drugs should make it very obvious that variation in prone-to-fatness is genetic in origin
the drugs work because they reduce excess appetite which is an entirely subconscious biological process in the body. something no one has conscious control over. fat people aren't "undisciplined" in the sense that they're just randomly eating for no reason. they're responding to their body's overwhelmingly powerful signals to eat, which can be suppressed with GLP drugs |

Date: May 28th, 2026 2:29 PM Author: Debunked antisemitic trope how did the poster "You're right to push back on that" on autoadmit.com gain so much weight?
I couldn’t find any reliable public information identifying who that poster is or documenting their personal life, including weight changes. The phrase “You’re right to push back on that” itself appears in lots of unrelated contexts online and isn’t uniquely tied to a well-known AutoAdmit personality.
If you mean a specific longtime AutoAdmit poster or meme figure, there’s a good chance the discussion is based on forum gossip, old photos, or anonymous speculation rather than verified facts. In general, major weight gain in adults is commonly associated with things like aging, stress, depression, medication side effects, reduced activity, alcohol use, sleep issues, or changes in eating habits—but applying any of those explanations to a specific anonymous poster would just be guessing. |

And I agree with you that XO likes to dunk on fatasses mostly to feel better about themselves (but you could say that about loads of things on this miserable bort).
But your poasts do expose you as a former fatass because you won't just cop to being undisciplined and lazy and that getting fat comes from that. That doesn't mean you're an undisciplined and lazy person overall, we all have our vices, but fatasses who deny this are like drunks who run over toddlers and say "But I have a disease! I'm genetically predisposed to alcohol abuse!" |

it's just genetics |

you can just talk to an LLM about this stuff btw it will explain it very clearly in a few minutes
i am not even overweight myself, btw. i was mean to fat people for many years, and i still am, but for the same reason i'm mean to ugly people: they're unattractive and i don't like looking at them. not because of some moralistic judgment about their conscious, agentic behavior. same reason why i'm racist: i don't like being around people who have intrinsically inferior and deleterious qualities |

Date: May 28th, 2026 3:25 PM Author: Bow tie niggas always have very strong opinions We are probably in agreement but the way you've framed and so far in this thread reads as if people genetically predisposed to obesity are doomed to be obese. I recognize that genetics play a huge role in how much discipline is required for a person to maintain a healthy weight.

Date: May 28th, 2026 3:40 PM Author: You're right to push back on that. i mean they're not doomed to be obese, but absent exceptional circumstances, they're almost certainly going to be obese. especially if we're looking at the aggregate and not individuals
the moralistic frame that people take with this is just totally off base. it's the same "confusion" around "racism." niggers and jeets are not consciously Choosing To Be Evil. they have biologically programmed instincts to act the way that they do. they don't subjectively experience empathy, love, connection to other humans, etc. it's not a lack of "character" that should be treated self-righteously. they're just....biologically programmed to be that way
pretty much every single human characteristic and aspect of behavior is this way. pretending like humans are "morally" and consciously responsible for their behavior is like holding computer programs responsible for their programming, and getting upset that they're not magically modifying their own programming to do something other than what they're programmed to do. it's just not how biology works |

Date: May 28th, 2026 5:01 PM Author: 345 (🧐) I definitely stopped paying attention or giving a shit for a few years when I got fat, sure, but once you're fat you are fucked. Losing weight is far harder than just not gaining it, there's a reason it so rarely happens with people successfully keeping weight off. Going to bed hungry for years on end is extremely fucking difficult. I don't believe for a second that anyone here is capable of doing that. Maybe hegemon or that guy with the food truck
It is exponentially harder than quitting drinking or nicotine or anything of the sort. Lots of people (in fact the majority of people who were at one point alcoholics) can get sober and stay that way forever. Almost nobody keeps weight off for life |
