    You really need job regulations. In my country if you gonna fire someone you have to pay a lot of money, this way companies think twice.

      That’s true in the US too. If someone is fired without cause, the company has to pay unemployment.

      I’ve been the manager of completely shitty, toxic people who cause harm to the company and lead to massive turnover of other staff, but was unable to fire them because they showed up on time and met dress code, and corporate wasn’t gonna pay for unemployment.

        Massive turnover and being toxic should be a good cause?

        Do you have to pay unemployment if they’re fired with cause? Because I’ve definitely seen (and experienced) constructive dismissal over some very petty things.

    The internet: Body shaming isn’t right

    This thread: Yeah this guy’s a freak and I would never want to look like that.

    Good job guys

      This is fundamentally no different than making fun of someone for obvious plastic surgery. Choices were made.

      This guy is clearly choosing to look like this.

    Is he able to move his arms or are they too big to like move around and stuff. Idk what I’m trying to say. It just looks like it’s hard to even hold his phone properly lol

      That’s as high as he can raise his phone. There’s a reason that he has to use a mirror to take a selfie

      Had a buff friend (but not even close to that) that had to reach for his seatbelt with his right hand because his biceps didn’t give him enough flexibility to reach for it above his shoulder with his left hand and sometimes he would need to pull on his right arm with his left hand to give himself enough reach…

      It gets pretty ridiculous at some point…

        I mean, I am not buff at all and have hypermobility so I can put my arms in positions most people can’t and I still use the other hand, so if I am driving the right and if a front passenger than the left, not sure by your description if that’s what you meant

          Sure you can still do it even if you don’t need to, but he was physically unable to reach his seatbelt with the hand that’s on the same side even if he tried

    I don’t know why anyone would ever want to look like that. It’s some body-horror shit. Deep insecurity there.

      I think that’s a common thing in that community. A lot of them are pretty open and humble about it. I was surprised nobody on the left realized how close transgender community and the body building community actually are. They both share body dysmorphia and both use hormone replacement therapy to feel like themselves. I was really hoping to see one community stick up for the other but instead the right co-opted gym culture and people on the left alienated yet another community by attacking that culture at the same time the right co-opted them.

      At the end of the day guys like this have put in a tremendous amount of work and that’s what makes them happy. That’s an incredible amount of work and effort. It’s not about pleasing you or anyone else. They do it for themselves. They try to always expand what the human body is capable of doing and it’s one of the most encouraging communities for new people to join. That’s because you join you just need to show up and do the work

      People might look at me and think why would anybody like to play so much Factorio. Or why does this guy keep going rock climbing when he’s already torn a tendon.

      People do things that they like to do regardless of what anybody else thinks or without some ulterior motive for it.

      Sure some people might have body issues and this is the result, but for the vast majority of people they’re doing what they enjoy and doing it for themselves.

      I worked at Apple and one thing that always stuck with me was their approach to Positive Intent, we assume that people are being honest and the best selves and so we assume that of people until proven otherwise. Someone cuts me up in traffic, oh well perhaps they’re in labour and heading to the A&E.

        I’m sorry to feed your addiction, but if you enjoy Factorio, give Dyson Sphere Program a shot. Again I apologize for any hours lost in advance.

        I completely agree with your comment; the idea that a total stranger would assume you play so much Factorio specifically based on just your looks is very funny to me. I imagine an individual just plastered in Factorio paraphernalia.

          I would imagine they have pale, waxy eyes with unkempt hair, sunken eyes, and constantly muttering to themselves about Factario things.

          Plus they would disappear for days on end.

      Maybe he enjoys working out, maybe he doesn’t mind taking steroids, maybe he wants to win body building or powerlifting competitions?

      People like you shit on men looking like that and then go into other posts and tell people who talk shit about obese/bulemic women’s bodies that they are misogynistic assholes.

      Quit being a fucking hypocrite.

        I don’t talk shit about people who are obese or bulimic because that’s rarely a choice, more of a disorder (I didn’t misread you, I’m just clarifying). This guy spent huge amounts of time and effort to do this to himself. It’s not something I understand. But as I reflect, that’s also something like disordered thinking.

        I’m not a hypocrite, but you’re great at making assumptions about me.

          You might want to look into whether free will is something that really exists at all. Might humble you a little and stop you from judging people.

          Glad to see you can come to a realization of your own hypocrisy and acknowledge it through self reflection, not a lot of people can do this. Good on you kid.
