    A C-Suite member is:

    • Insulated from the actual performance of the company
    • Not accountable for their own failures of leadership
    • Compensated with large amounts of stock, converting them slowly into the ownership class
    • Has incentive structures aligned with the ownership class and is literally paid to keep labor costs suppressed



  • Self-crit follows:

    My first reaction was to take issue with the claim about fat-phobia causing death, before I decided to actually check if there was evidence. I think that my attachment to fatness equaling negative health outcomes is from my own fat-phobia. I was able to hide it behind science. But the people designing experiments and drawing conclusions are on average just as fat phobic as the rest of society. Not to mention that I had a hand in deciding which studies I read, by using search terms guiding me to fat-phobic conclusions.

    It's honestly fucked up that I would have preferred fatness itself to be unhealthy rather than medical fat-phobia, despite the fact that eradicating fat-phobia is more achievable than systematically making all fat people thin.

    Thankfully I had the good sense to keep my mouth shut about OP's lived experiences.


  • Please note I went into the following trying to challenge my assumptions and I was successful in doing so:

    I went looking for proof that "mounting evidence that anti-fat bias is more to blame... than just the fat itself" for negative health outcomes and I found this study that I could not fully access: https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/0956797615601103

    The abstract does seem to partially support the claim, although I don't know if the two factors are compared in strength of effect. But it is clear that weight discrimination does increase risk of mortality and negative health outcomes.

    I also saw a different study showing that weight/size discrimination increases risk of suicide.

    This article summarizes what we know from science about size discrimination and cites studies throughout.














  • Even if you have a computer generated muzzle flash, the actor does have to squeeze the "trigger" on the non-gun in the actual shot. There is no way around this, or at least there wasn't before CGI; the gun needed to be fake and the actor had to squeeze the trigger for the actual filming.

    The responsibility is on the hirer of the armorer to check their credentials/identity and on the armorer to not supply a live gun. I don't think the actor should ultimately bear any responsibility for understanding how a gun works, how to check for bullets in the gun, etc. If anything, the armorer should train the actor how to (double) check for any bullets, etc.

    The above is all a hypothetical situation in which the actor isn't the producer, though.
