how to be fatter than your wife because you eat more than your wife

a long time ago i was talking to someone [who it turns out is a virulent genocide supporter and islamophobe but that's neither here nor there] and they noted the difference in size between me and my wife.

now there is more than just a little normal human sexual dimorphic size difference between the two of us. this is obvious and no one had really commented on it until then because why would you and also because canadian. but they [not canadian; worth noting] decided to comment on it because they had just gotten into keto or some braindead thing along those lines [warning bells!] and their point was look at you two--you eat roughly the same amount and you're vastly different sizes. must be something to do with metabolism! we've finally proven cal-in-cal-out wrong!

what i should have said was no you idiot i obviously eat more than my wife who has tummy troubles and is often nauseated and also i just eat more than my wife. what i said was [to reverse-quote birbigs] nothing.

[as i recall! don't quote me on that!]

actually it's not super surprising that they're into all sorts of rightwing pish because they always are. those people who want to one-weird-trick their way out of reality. or they have a stubborn bias against mainstream thought. something like that. the hitchenses of the world. they always follow their giant brains into the shitpile smacking their lips as they go. so urbane with a top hat and tails but when you got shit around the corners of your mouth i'm not interested in listening.

i didn't sleep well last night. perhaps it shows.
