It’s obvious their asses are much fatter and useless than their grandparents. But have some more Cheetos anyway.

That was probably more calories she’s burned in 10 years.

Endless overuse will render the victim card meaningless, if it isn’t already.

Yeah .... and it’s not only the desks ... it’s the floors too! Sometimes the floors give way and a fatso will disappear into the basement never to be seen again !

...but it is silly for a business asking for thousands of dollars from customers to then not even provide customers with a choice of desks they can actually fit into. Ah, but the customer is the school admin. not the sitters.

Collapsible chair? These women need to be carried around campus in a front-end loader as it is. A collapsible chair would be either crushed into a two-dimensional object, or subsumed into the overlying maximus like a feather up a shop-vac.

There must be a heavy-duty version somewhere.

Actually this reinforces my view that MLK’s “dream” has been achieved (insofar as humans can) - resulting in starkly revealing how some lifestyle choices are in fact inferior to others. A great many who thought the “dream” would result in all being equal are horrified to discover that inequality is inherent, with bad choices leading to bad consequences which cause the cultural (in behavior) groups to be, justifiably, discriminated against. Faced with a choice to correct/improve behavior, many are opting instead to “demand equality” so they don’t have to. Hence the recent explosion of demanding normalization, even desirability, of historically abnormal/shunned consequences.

When my belt becomes too tight, that’s a sign to eat less/better - not to buy another belt. If a normal-sized _chair_ is too small, red alert.

The point is for the chair to _not_ collapse...

As a sometimes professor of programming, I’ve been amazed how many people (about 1/4 of students) just plain don’t do the work yet expect to pass.
Will be interesting to see how reality will, in a historic moment, kick everyone’s a$$e$ who don’t get up and DO rather than expect a lazy river ride.

A new study by the Women and Girls Research Alliance at the University of North Carolina-Charlotte found that overweight female college students describe feeling fat-shamed when they walk into a classroom and cant fit into the provided desks.As they should. Perhaps the piggies should bring their own "fat desk."
