unless you have actual health problems dont go around trumpeting nonsense that 'being fat runs in my family'
the day alcoholics start doing the same thing is the day I quit my day job

To be fair that excuse is probably the only thing running in their family

Does alchoholism not work that way? I've always been wary of drinking because of my Dad's latent alcoholism that's given him issues for the past 20 years so

People usually avoid drinking due to alcoholism in their family, e.g. alcoholic father
Feels revolutionary to be the first alcoholic in my family for a good few generations
I think ill probably still stay away from the bottle for the rest of my life, I can live without it and there's no good reason for me to start really

The fact that eating everything on my plate made my mother happy(though she did do sensible portions and all that) was a contributing factor to how I started to get fat. Other factors were how everything is/was so tasty and how easy to get and inexpensive unhealthy stuff was.
The whole "fat activism" thing is insulting to me. To me it looks like people trying to get attention and/or praise for giving up and/or not trying.

It's more like the alcoholics i've all known got started on, and subsequently netted hook line and sinker by addiction.
When I was talking about fat activism and mentioned that I hoped I would never see alcoholics complaining in the same way when told their habit was life threatening, I mean it hasn't actively become a movement yet like fat activism has. It's more individualized and people resist it, especially after they drink so often they start hallucinating and going into withdrawal after they go past a certain stage of their addiction. One of my uncles nearly died of alcohol withdrawal after they told him to lay off the sauce.

Problem is despite education to the contrary there are so many people who get addicted to smoking or drinking over time, especially those who find it a way to forget their troubles. When we have examples like when Philip Morris sued the australian government when they were told to comply with plain packaging laws, that are mandatory for tobacco products there, despite the fact they lost that case, you can see big tobacco and alcohol won't go down without a fight.
Honestly alcoholism and the like will always remain a problem, because of the addiction issue. The problems caused thereby might go down bit by bit over time, but it's not going to ever be possible to legislate away the issues they cause. Moderation is important, but you can't ever stop persons from throwing caution to the winds, nor can you find good self-control in all people.
It hurts me to watch phone plans for other countries
My finnish contract is 19.90€ a month for unlimited 50Mbps 4G, with 200 minutes of phone calls and 200 text messages.
This prepaid I've had in Austria for the past 10 weeks has felt like an arm was chopped off, 4GB a month is too little for me

Yeah, I do wish it was treated a little more like cigarettes are though, I feel like even though they're somewhat popular here people still have a more negative outlook on them than they do for alcohol (ie absolutely nothing negative at all ever)

there are assholes here who think 20 GB is an enormous data cap and 2 Mbps a lightning fast speed, who havent changed in years
Which is why im glad im sitting on 150-200 Mbps with good ping right now

Roughly on schedule, its supposed to hit the mid to upper 80's later in the week. I've got a "fun" day of cleaning air conditioners coming up. On the bright side they are already set up in their respective windows, so we don't have to worry about that.
I've also said this before, but living with someone who gets acid indigestion easily sucks. I like to keep a can of instant iced tea on hand during the summer. I can't because my brother's acid acts up due to the artificial lemon and he is convinced that I'd turn it into syrup and main line it or something.
