Has anyone watched this show? I don't typically watch MTV or even much TV for the matter, but this show seems to strike me as pretty humourous.

They were just questioning this girl if she left the weight loss camp to go buy snacks. She denied it, but they had her on camera leaving to go buy poptarts and other assorted junk food. :laugh:

After watching that whole 2 hour program and watching them shed of as much as 30+ pounds, I was a bit upset at the end where 90% gained ALL of their weight back. What the ****ing hell?

I don't think that the people realised that if they wanted to lose the weight, they would need to make a lifestyle change and not ever go back to their old eating and exercise habits. Or if they did realise this but just didn't want to make such a big change and not be able to eat the food they used to. I don't think I'll ever understand how people can just let themselves become so unhealthy.

Shows like this make me want to puke.

It's bad enough overweight people are stigmatized already, belittled by everyone and gawked at and laughed at to their own faces.

Walk a mile in someones shoes, then pass judgement.

Unless the person has a hormonal problem he/she brought it upon his/her self. Honestly, being fat is lack of care for one's self and SHOULD be looked down upon. I'll never feel bad for fat people unless as stated, it's because of a hormonal problem. You have a choice - and it's easier to have a healthy lifestyle then to stuff your face with junk food.

There's no excuse.

You have no idea what the hell you are talking about. Hormonal problems are a small minority of the overweight population. There are many other factors that cause someone to be overweight.

Are you saying someone who weighs alot, doesn't care about themselves? And that it's OK to make them feel like ****?

Your views on the subject is exactly why the majority of the population acts the way they do in regards to overweight people. It's ok to make fun of them, it's ok to make them feel like they are worthless, it's ok to make them feel like they don't exist, it's ok to make them feel like they should just die and no one will give a damn if they do. Yeah, it really doesn't matter, after all they are just fat ugly people who will never amount to anything, right?

Didn't say that. I'm saying I do not grief for them. I respect a person no matter what he/she might weigh, I'm just saying that honestly - if it's not some kind of problem such as hormonal deficiency where the person is unable to take control of it, then there's no excuse for obesity. It takes more food, more time, and less care to get fat. Being healthy is far from hard. Getting fat is pure choice. If you're fat and you brought it upon yourself because you ate like a pig - I will not feel sorry for you, nor will I understand any state of depression you might find yourself in. It's not excuseable, just about the same as crack addicts and tobacco smokers - your brought it upon yourself. Nobody forced you to eat too much.

There's no need to snap back at me, show me your point of view, or show me something I may not be seeing, and I'll gladly concur if I think it makes sense. Not here for bickering, I'm here for a conversation - if I can gain something from it, so much the better.

I agree. My sister is 100 lbs overweight, which actually is considered morbidly obese, in accordance with the BMI scale (Body Mass Index) and all she does is eat carbs and sweets, desert after every meal and NO exercise. I tease her all the time, does that make me an A-hole, fine so be it, she brings it upon herself. Anytime that someone has control of their actions and fail to do so I do not feel sorry for them, this includes drunk drivers that die in car wrecks, smokers and lung cancer, drug users that OD, etc..... .

lol amerika

Not sure what you mean but.. This isn't a problem in only America. You can find it anywhere (except in nations with severe hunger obviously).

There's already been posts in this thread from people in Europe, Canada (technically America), ect. Discriminating pompous jerkoffs come from everywhere. The type of people who automatically assume an overweight person without a biological (in terms of genes) reason is somehow lazy and pathetic.

Guess what? Some people are, I don't doubt that. But there are so many possible reasons why someone is overweight.. Severe depression is one of the biggest. And people like you who make things worse and insult/belittle someone for their condition just make me sick.

I'm not commenting on your views, nor anyone else's in this thread, yet.

Just a neutral statement, i want to point out that the percentage of people who are overweight due to genes, or genetic reasons is less that 3%.

Ever think that she eats because you treat her badly? I mean, how can you make someone depressed, and then make fun of them when they do something because of the depression. Maybe you are the problem?

    • Windows 11 KB5094126, KB5093998 bugging out Office apps but it may not be Microsoft's fault

      By hellowalkman · Posted

      Windows 11 KB5094126, KB5093998 bugging out Office apps but it may not be Microsoft's fault by Sayan Sen Microsoft last week released Windows 11 KB5094126 and KB5093998 as the latest Patch Tuesday updates. Following that the company also published the accompanying dynamic updates under KB5094149, KB5095971, and KB5094156. Although the tech giant did not acknowledge any major problems, some users online reported various issues ranging from OneDrive and Dropbox access problems, BitLocker recovery lockouts, to blue screens and BSODs. You can read about them in this dedicated piece. While there is still no confirmation about those problems from Microsoft the company has admitted to another bug which we did not report on. The tech giant has confirmed it has received reports of an issue in which certain third-party applications may be unable to launch Microsoft Office apps or open Office documents after installing the Patch Tuesday. This affects both Windows 11 as well as Windows 10. The company says the problem impacts a subset of applications that rely on OLE (Object Linking and Embedding) automation to communicate with Microsoft Office programs. According to Microsoft, affected scenarios involve third-party software attempting to open Office applications or documents from within their own interface. In such cases, the Office program may fail to launch altogether, or the requested document may not open. Oddly there may not be any error message, which probably makes the issue difficult to diagnose. The bug affects several Office products, including Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Access, and other apps in the Microsoft Office suite when they are launched through the affected software. These include tax and accounting software such as CCH Engagement and Workpaper Manager, dental practice management solutions like Dentrix and Softdent, as well as the popular research and reference management tool Zotero. Microsoft adds that other applications using similar Office integration methods could also experience the same problematic behavior. To understand the issue it is important to look at OLE, the Microsoft technology involved. OLE allows different applications to work together and share data, while its Automation feature lets one program control another. Thus this enables third-party software to launch Microsoft Office apps, open documents, and perform tasks automatically without requiring users to switch between programs. Because many accounting, healthcare, research, and business applications rely on OLE automation to interact with Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and other Office apps, any disruption can break those workflows. As a result, affected software may be unable to open Office documents or launch Office applications even though the programs themselves continue to work normally. At the moment the company has not provided a permanent fix though it has confirmed that engineers are actively working on a resolution, which will be delivered through a future Windows update. As such additional details will be shared once more information becomes available. In the meantime, Microsoft recommends a simple workaround for affected users whic is to open the Office application or document directly rather than launching it through the third-party program. For enterprise customers and organizations managing larger deployments, Microsoft says an additional mitigation is available. Admins experiencing the problem on their managed devices are advised to contact Microsoft Support for business to obtain and apply the workaround.

      It saddens me when cars are such dull colours now. Mine is bright metallic blue and I absolutely adore it for standing out in contrast to that depressing backdrop of traffic.
