Google Maps Pulls Cupcake Calorie Counter After Backlash

It's what happens when you let liberals get too much control.

Catering to the lowest common denominator...IQ wise, but ain’t that the truth? It’s always the squeeky wheel man, and snowflakes are huge whiners/greater than thou moralists. Don’t take this the wrong way peeps, it’s just an example, but look at say the transgender community. It’s literally like .08% of the US and yet if someone complains about IDK a flag being somewhere or a book they don’t like, everyone bends over backwards to “not offend”, that’s like 1000 people are in a room, 999 want to go one direction, the lone person wants to go a different direction, starts crying and half thr group shames the other half to follow the one...right off a cliff. Let’s use some common sense people!

I’m gonna get in so much trouble for this post.
 
I don't know why people say morbid obesity and arteries filled with cholesterol and a lack of exercise are dangerous. All that "medical" nonsense is just body shaming.
I don't think it matters about if they are fat, skinny, in the middle, people will complain about something.
 
If you look on twitter its pretty much only women complaining about this, anything weight related its always women getting upset.
If i had a nickle for every time i heard women "complementing" each other if they lost weight i'd be rich.
 
Even as someone who knows that BMI is based on junk science and you can in fact be healthy at 250+ pounds I just don't see the harm in encouraging people to do some fucking exercise I do think shaming people or acting like your a time bomb because your overweight is ridiculous, but every single one of us (or at least 90% of us) could benefit from getting a little more exercise and making a few more healthy meal choices on a daily basis. The fact that people make google into some sort of monster for suggesting that people get out an d walk a little bit is fucking insane.
 
Actually you can be healthy at 350lbs, but you have to be ripped like Magnus Samuelsson (on right).

It is all bout body fat, not wight.
This is actually a misconception, while yes there are health issues related to having a high body fat count, having a lot of weight still puts an undue amount of stress on your heart and other organs and you can have a lot of similar health problems as someone who's obese and not very muscular.

A lot of the SJWs who worried about possible fat shamming are probably many of the ones who try to shame politicians into passing stricter gun laws. Non suicide gun deaths in the US are about 12,000 per year. Estimates of deaths due to obesity range from 100,000 ~ >300,000 per year. Exact death by fat numbers are hard to pin down since a heart attack might be cause by too much weight or some other factor. Given that >500,000 folks die from heart problems per year, the death by fat rate may be a lot higher then current estimates.

If the SJWs really cared about lowering the death rate, they would be doing everything they could TO fat shame fat people.

Shhh. Facts & common sense do not compute to these people.
 
What the fuck are you talking about? That's not even an apples to oranges comparison. Only 1 of those 'movements' is a personal choice that can cause health conditions that that will dramatically shorten your lifespan, and can be fixed with diet/exercise. No idea why you bring up LBGT stuff, other than to try and justify being a bigot.....

Thanks for making my point.

I see you didn't touch upon the transracial issue. Opinions? Two pioneers of the movement - Dolezol & King.

Oh and many who believe in the healthy-at-any-weight don't agree with your assessment that it causes health conditions or that it's in anyway a dysfunction.
 
What about the people who DO want this.. why do they not matter, I am sure they out number those who do not!
 
I don't think there is anything wrong with only dating people you find physically attractive.

I mean, if physical attractiveness is the ONLY thing someone considers when they date, then they might be a bit shallow, but there has to be some level of physical attractiveness when you date someone. That's kind of what kicks things off. And I'm with you. I don't find overweight women attractive in the slightest, so I don't date them (or didn't, when I was single)

You (the general you, not you personally) don't have to call someone a fatty, or put them down though. You know, the filter. Just because we think something doesn't mean we have to say it out loud. There is no need to insult someone and make them feel badly about themselves for no reason.


I always find it interesting most of the people who say looks don't matter....are always single?

Nationalism and militarism come to mind immediately from the other side.

I'm glad this great country supports two completely opposite ideals. Every time I want to slam SJW, I don't even need to look anywhere to see why the other side are not all roses just by reading the [H] comments. That a topic about being healthy can trigger a "trans" comment is all that needs to be said.

NO SOUP FOR YOU!!!!!
 
I'm glad we managed to lump a bunch of unrelated shit into this thread. We even roped gun laws into here, bravo.
 
I got shamed for years for smoking... SJW's said "fine."


Body shaming because it's just as unhealthy as smoking is cool in my book. Unfortunately a lot of SJW's are fat and don't smoke, so THAT offends them.
Speaking anecdotally, I see many more elderly smokers than I do elderly obese people, so I'd say the cupcake is deadlier than the cigarette.
 
What is it with the internet and over sensitive, fat (apparently), people?

For me, this would be a great tool... But then again, I tend to be in shape...
 
Its going to be so fun at 65 years old, when im the only one who can stand up, or even find someone else who is 65. Its kinda scary if you think about it. At any age, there is about 4 million people around that age till about 60 years old. By 72 half are ded. And that was the healthy corn fed folk before the boomers took over. Id say for millennials 2/3 are going to be dead before 69 years old.

These are not liberals. These are deluded extremist nutjobs. The term "liberal" refers to someone in favor of protecting freedoms. The word liberal is literally defined as pertaining to freedom.

I have heard them referred to as the "Illiberal Left", and that is a term that is more appropriate.

In our country, these people are called 'liberals' or 'progressives.' You're right, that's a misnomer or at least not what the term means politically in Britain where it originated. Regardless, they are squarely on the political left. In our country, people who are in favor of individual freedoms are libertarians.

The thing is, if they are 'deluded extremist nutjobs,' they are awfully prevalent on college campuses, not only as students but as professors and administrators. I certainly agree that they are wrong and awful but sadly they are not just a fringe group that can be easily dismissed.
 
What?

So people got mad, because Google said "If you walk this far you can eat a cupcake!"

ah, after reading, it's just SJWs on twitter who complained.

I have no issue with this, it's just an incentive to walk that far. I think they should revamp it, and give you the option to change it from a cupcake to whatever the fuck you want it to be.
BACON!!!
 
This pisses me off so bad.

We live in the middle of the biggest epidemic in history of weight related life shortening, and life ending disease in the form of cardiovascular disease and diabetes, and every single time someone tries to come up with a nice little reminder to get in shape, these anti body shaming nut jobs make a ridiculous fuss about it.

It is ridiculous and it is harmful and directly resulting in more ill health, ruined lives, death and destruction.

We need to make sure that every tool possible, every angle imaginable is used to combat this epidemic.

We also live in a time of over population. So we can spare a few.

The "Healthy at Any Size" movement is a complete sham based on pseudoscience and wishful thinking. There is no greater contributor to shortened lives and poor quality of life than being overweight. Wishing it weren't so isn't going to change that verifiable fact.

The slight issue I have with your statement is that you basically claiming that at a certain size you are always going to be 100% healthy and never have any problems, where as over is the reverse. Unfortunately that isn't true. There are 17 year old athletes that die from heart attacks in the middle of events who are in perfect shape, and then there are 50 year olds who are 100lbs over weight but have no heart issues or other signs of trouble outside of their weight being over a certain level. I am not going to say that you can be extremely over weight or that there is an issue with being in shape, however every body is different so there are ranges that are going to be different for each person as to what can allow them to be "healthy" still. One person can drink all the time and their liver somehow be fine, another can drink half as much and their liver be shot. Some people can smoke a pack a day and be fine, others can smoke 1 pack a week and get cancer. A large portion of my family is diabetic, and yet I live off of sugar and mountain dew. Some people are going to be skinny and still have issues with high blood pressure, high cholesterol and other issues like that, and then you are going to have people that have extra weight but have no issues or only slight issues. So there is no single weight that if you get too you know that you will be 100% healthy with zero change of any chance of medical issues. So to that degree you can be healthy at a range of weights depending on your body, life style and genes.
 
As a pretty fat dude, I take responsibility for my body. I don't need body positivity. I work with lots of people from China and Hong Kong, and they will straight up call me fatass, as they are pretty honest, culturally. I laugh because I don't need a false sense of positivity to make me feel comfortable being unhealthy.

That said, I am trying to lose weight, and that cupcake feature sounds pretty cute and useful.
 
Body shaming? Holy fuck this is ridiculous. You might as well get rid of Gym propaganda or Bowflex commercials. What the fuck is wrong with this country.

The difference is those companies wont be offending random people they care about. Key word is care. They are in the business of fitness and selling a fit body someone who doesn't want to be fit isn't going to cause bowflex to lose sales because their commercial had a girl in a bikini. Google is in the business of mining your data and to do that they need to avoid offending as many people as possible if they don't want those people to boycott their products. Since a large portion of the population will identify with being over weight it was a bad move this is one of the things you must deal with when you become a mega company like google. You have to walk a very fine line and rarely take any stand. You do something conservative you piss off 30% of your customers, do something liberal you piss off the other 30%. Just be like Steve Jobs and never stand for anything but selling your own products and you have a good formula.

BTW just for the record body shaming doesn't really help almost no one who has issues with weight responds positively to being shamed. Its just the way the human brain works as odd as it may sound. Telling people not to do something is basically telling them to do it. Right? the media told people not to vote for Trump and look what happened =] I have in recent years come to fully appreciate how your choice of words means so much to many people. If google had reprogrammed it to simply be complementing when someone did walk a long distance it probably would have went over much better. Something like a cupcake shows up when you take the longest walk you have that week and says how much you walked, how many calories you burned and congratulates you.
 
You know, if something comes up (like this, or something said) that isn't directed at anyone in particular (hell, even if is) and it offends you, there is truth to it.

Hold on, I have to finish the large pizza with extra bacon and cheese drenched in ranch dressing.

Ok, anyway... They are already ashamed or lack confidence or they wouldn't be offended to begin with.

It's like religious people that get downright hostile if you express a different belief - it's a lack of faith (confidence) in their own belief.

Now get off your fat asses and go for a walk. :p
 
every angle imaginable is used to combat this epidemic
YOu cant combat it. Stupidity is a force unmatched by any other. Just let the dumb c***ts kill themselves and send the PC/SJW libtards in after them to sweeten the deal.
 
that’s like 1000 people are in a room, 999 want to go one direction, the lone person wants to go a different direction
Thats actually the illusion. There could be 100, 200, even 300 people who want to go the other direction, but because they think they are the only one they keep their mouth's shut so someone like you doesnt shit down their neck. You finally get that 1 person with the balls to speak up and the natural assumption is that they are the only one's who care about something.

Neo-liberal is a pretty good term I think.

Liberals today are nowhere close to what is now called classic liberalism.
