How come when I receive a delivery like pizza or a package it is always a delivery boy or man? Have you seen your Amazon package brought by a girl? Or is it just me?
I think our Amazon packages are almost always delivered by guys. Pizza I think there have been one or two female deliverers over the years. I guess something about the job attracts guys/deters females (unless there's a bias on the employers' part), maybe something about the fact that it's constant activity and going out in into the world. Men are (generally, of course) the more active of the sexes, women the more passive.
My assistant is pregnant. She is a clever amiable woman and I would hire her for a lifetime if she wanted. Today she sat for a pause while I gave her a coffe and she said: I'd hire you too! - Thoughts ?
I'm watching a telly series that spans over many months showing the life of police officers at a three frontiers area. They always wear the same clothes. Each day, each sequel, each season. Do you think the producers did underfund it? Or is it an artsy trick?
Today I received another E-Mail from a russian person who claims to have met me and since then aims at making me happy in every possible meaning of happy and promises she has no financial interests. How come I do not know her? Any Anastasia here?
I tend to think it's not as simple as that. They're manipulated by the food industry, they're depressed, etc. There are factors at play that act differently on fat people vs thin people that aren't as obvious as the willpower issue. Qafka had an interesting answer to this, but I'd have to see the nature of the actual studies in question to be sure.
I think it's a cultural problem that you can't necessarily do anything about. People are trying to fill the void. Finding a way to fill the collective void healthily might as well be finding a way to have eudaimonia. Not to imply that there needs to be eudaimonia in order for there not to be an obesity epidemic, just that both things are way easier said than done. The obesity epidemic is just the outward symptom of much deeper, more systemic problems with modern society.
There may be something to instating more regulations on the food industry. Perhaps they shouldn't be able to make food that's both extremely addictive and extremely unhealthy. Also I've read once that partially hydrogenated oils make you fat and that the onset of the obesity epidemic was about the same time those became popular, but I don't know if their effect is significant in comparison to other things like sugar and fat. Sean said something about stopping certain subsidies. It sounds like that's the least we could do.
On a scale from 1 ( disgusting) to 10 (addicted) how much do you love chocolate?
When you ring my doorbell at home you have a 50/50 chance I open wearing a kimono or just leggings and a hoodie. Which one would you like better and are both too slutty?
