“The cultural narrative is that heavier people overeat. If your weight has been fairly stable, however, you’re probably not overeating at all, although you may hear and believe that you are. Several studies, including the largest health and nutrition study conducted by the US government, the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, document that higher-weight people eat no more than lean people, despite the popular misconception. One review examined thirteen studies, and found the intake of heavier people to be less than or equal to thin people in twelve of them.”

This is particularly interesting given that fat people have higher metabolisms than thin people, and should in fact eat more to support their energy needs.

hey man, my mum took my postal vote, marked it no and sealed it in the envelope and i had no idea til today. any way to invalidate my vote from here?

theauspolchronicles:

You could request a replacement asap and if the original hasn’t been received it’ll be invalidated I believe.

I strongly suspect that the original would be invalidated in this scenario, even if it’s already been received by the ABS. So this would cover instances where the original ballot was stolen and filled out by someone else – as has happened in this case.

Did Mako Mori get sidelined for ‘Pacific Rim: Uprising’?

dailydot:

Pacific Rim was a gift, but the promotional materials for the sequel are… a little worrying. For one thing, Mako Mori is missing.

Charlie Hunnam couldn’t reprise his role as Raleigh Becket, leaving Pacific Rim: Uprising

in an awkward position. They cast John Boyega as the new leading man (awesome!), but instead of retaining Rinko Kikuchi as his co-star, she’s been relegated to a supporting role. Scott Eastwood plays the other lead character.

Scott Eastwood is a handsome cardboard cut-out whose recent credits include Suicide Squad and The Fate of the Furious. If you don’t remember him in those movies, that’s because his roles were astoundingly forgettable.

Since Pacific Rim was a rare Hollywood movie with an Asian woman as the hero, this isn’t a great look for the sequel. Mako Mori has been replaced by a white guy whose main claim to fame is being Clint Eastwood’s son.
