@nprofile…v3r3 @nprofile…nmr0 My sister had a 23 lbs ovarian cyst. It was painful, the doctor told her "You're just fat, do some situps!"
With the chance of rupturing the cyst, that advice could literally have killed her. Any investigation at all by the doctor would have revealed "just fat" wasn't the cause.
"Just fat" isn't inherently painful either. The symptoms didn't even line up with the DX.
Maybe it's stochastic eugenics but that doesn't make it *not* eugenics.
