20lbs in 2 weeks?? That’s an extreme pace that could be dangerous
Why do companies continue to add these clauses then? Just as a deterrent?
Maybe gender role abolitionists, but not gender altogether

I wouldn’t say it’s useless since it does show a trend of overall weight gain, but yes it can be misleading when the average person still equates BMI and health
I read the article, but I’m not seeing how the metric itself is racist? It’s not actually explained, just that it has racist origins (created using white ppl as the reference point) and the application of it as a standard of overall health can have racist applications, which I definitely agree with.
The thing is though, the graph above isn’t a graph of “health of American states over time”, it’s a graph of BMI over time. I think we’re mostly just arguing semantics at this point because the original person I replied to was equating normal BMI range = healthy which isn’t what’s shown here and is unrelated
BMI isn’t an indicator of health though, which is exactly what the study says. It’s simply a measurement of body mass, which doesn’t account for other factors
BMI is a good metric for populations as there are very few athletes at that elite level compared to obese people. At an individual level it can be misleading if you’re an athlete with a high muscle to body fat ratio

Critics of the commission have pointed out it’s many failings. In a 1989 article for the Ottawa Citizen, writer Sol Littman explained, the All-Party Parliamentary War Crimes Group of the British House of Commons found that screening was virtually “non-existent” for Ukrainian SS veterans who entered Canada in 1950. The SS veterans had been allowed into Canada from the U.K. based on false assurances that they were not war criminals. The Foreign Office lied to British parliament in 1947, that the SS volunteers had undergone “a very exhaustive screening process.” In a 1997 interview with 60 Minutes, Irving Abella stated that getting into Canada for SS members, was as easy as just showing their SS blood type tattoo which indicated that they were reliably anti-communist.

My friend sent me a peaceful nature video he took yesterday and I turned my volume WAY down in fear of a screamer
Same, it works perfectly fine still! My only gripe is the Nvidia drivers on Linux + Wayland :/
