you assume everyone is as knowledgeable as you are on the subject and as self-aware.

[Spider]

If I'd assumed any such thing it would be included in my post.

But I do assume that pretty much everyone knows that eating too much makes them fat, and if they stop eating so much they'll be less fat. It common knowledge, and I'm not going to entertain ideas about any significant portion of the public being unaware of it, nor am I going to make excuses for their idiotic behavior.

Don't want to be fat? Eat less. Don't want to get hit by a train? Stay off the railroad tracks.

[The Comrade]

how are you not assuming the two things i just said when you literally affirm them in your post?

[Spider]

Won't be held responsible for arguments I did not make. Please pay attention to what I literally say, not what you suppose it to mean.

I'm done here. Unless of course you've got a rebuttal that doesn't involve assumptions about what I'm thinking?

[The Comrade]

take your toys and go home. it doesn't matter to me. it's not even something i'm making up you're just actually saying it.

"no excuses for fat people being fat because [insert all the things spider knows]"

"i'm not assuming they know what i know or are self-aware of their problem I'M JUST ASSUMING THEY KNOW ABOUT NUTRITION ENOUGH TO KNOW HOW TO EAT TO NOT BE FAT"




are you joking right now? like, are you serious?

I don't think people know how to eat properly, but literally everyone knows that reducing intake will lead to weight loss. You don't even have to change what you eat, just eat less. That is common knowledge IMO.
