Congrats to the Navajo for finally having a woman. Must have been a struggle before, popping out of the ground or being made out of clay or whatever

All this means is that the economy is fine and companies have been freely price gouging us and will continue to do so with impunity aka "inflation"

Who tf wants to live to be 100? I'm on the other side of 50, and it's already getting shitty. And this is presuming the economy and the environment don't crash.

A lot of people got kicked out of the military when they put in a waist max measurement. They put in a bmi is low enough work around eventually but many people are heavy with muscle so they're still screwed

Most of Reddit is a "socialism is inevitable" circlejerk with no nuance allowed, all capitalism bad.
I'm all for more social spending and a rework of welfare programs, but human prosperity has increased because of capitalism.
Rwanda, Cote d'Ivoire, India, Bangladesh, Malaysia, etc are countries that have experienced fast economic growth by embracing free market principles.
Is it horrible that these people have low wages and many live in poverty? Yes. But the alternative is much worse, and history is full of full-on socialist regimes in lesser developed countries that failed.
Compare Bangladesh from independence to today. Those people are happy that you bought those clothes from their country.
I blame the Nordic circle-jerking for this attitude.
EDIT: Conservatives are also obsessed with this "left-wing economic collapse" too, it's all propaganda. Biden has done a good job.

The problem with that stat is that "obese" here is the clinical definition. I know several people that would be defined as obese but nobody would ever consider them that. That's not to say that there isn't an obesity issue, but the formal definitions are based off 19th century persons who had significantly different health statuses. BMI is useful for a population level tool and its nice to have decades of data, but it's not really useful for individuals

The title of the post is misleading. I’m not the only one that thought that, but, apparently, I touched some nerves.

My grandma lived to almost 90, and was essentially a ball with arms and legs until she hit her 70s and suddenly lost all her weight due to depression/being too sick to cook, and hating processed food.
However she was miserable the entire time, before and after, and was pretty much begging for death since her 60s.

Over 50? Most people over 50 are obese.
Maybe all the obese 50+ are such beacons of health they never go in to the doctor

Congratulations to the Navajos for having their first woman ever! (Crappy editors are crappy.)

George Burns, when asked (on his 100th birthday) the secret to living to be 100, said "it's easy; first make it to 99 and then be very, very careful."

Getting outside is key to a long happier life. So as soon as we are 6 we are put inside all day every day.

Bamboo grows ridiculously fast and might be better suited tbh Could grow that, dry it, mix it with sand, and fill in old open pit mines.

I'm a bit surprised that this is the first time that woman becomes speaker, given that it's traditionally matriarchal society. Do you know the context why it has not been a woman so far?

specifying navajo woman makes it sound like there have been non-navajo women speakers of the navajo nation council.
