Bibliotectress@lemmy.worldto News@lemmy.world•Lauren Boebert called "racist" for saying Karine Jean-Pierre is a "DEI hire"131·9 months agoYou forgot the implication that black women couldn’t possibly be skilled or smart enough to be hired. Because they’re black. That’s the racist part. It’s devaluation stemming from racism.
Wow! Thanks for the explanation! That’s a really great meme that went completely over my head.
Bibliotectress@lemmy.worldto News@lemmy.world•Oprah Exits Weight Watchers Board After Admitting She Took Weight Loss Meds, Stock Tumbling38·1 year agoFor a long time, Weight Watchers has said that if you just follow their points system, the weight will melt off and you won’t need supplements or anything else. When most people think of Weight Watchers, they’re probably not thinking about the weight loss drugs they now support; they’re thinking of the years of points gimmick that make you feel like you can’t lose weight unless you pay $10+/month to see if you can eat that food or not (rather than teaching anyone about calorie intake vs. output).
Weight Watchers relies on a subscription based model to “save” people from their fatness, and Oprah was the biggest WW pusher. She had tons of money and resources, was even on the board of WW, and still needed medications to manage her weight. I don’t give a fuck, but people who bought into her ads and promos probably feel a little pissed off.
That’s what happened to us with the Camp Fire, but a guy started the Park Fire (currently at 401,199 acres and 27% contained).
