>You're never going to get anywhere with *gestures broadly*... this.
Very self-aggrandizing, very 2016, very devoid of tact.
Also, fat people have a 5-10x rate of sleep apnea over someone of a normal, healthy weight. Being fat is bad for you. That is not a "stigma", it's just factually true. You don't have to dress it up as something sexy, because being fat is neither healthy nor sexy.
> You don't get less oxygen the more you sleep, but sure.
You're not understanding the construction of the sentence. "Flies gather more the more manure there is" means if there is more manure, then flies gather more; if you get less oxygen, you sleep more. You understood the sentence as, you sleep more therefore you get less oxygen, which is actually the converse of what I said, which is incorrect. No logical implication is implied, it's an elided "if" in the grammatical construction.
You're taking "obese" as an insult for some reason, which says more about your thoughts on the matter than mine, which was a neutral statement. No need to passive aggressively gesture at anything.
By sleep more, I mean sleep a longer duration of time during the day, which is absolutely true that people with sleep apnea do so, even if the quality of sleep is less. I am still not sure why you are continuing this conversation about tact when it seems to only be you taking offense to the word "obese."

I'm obese, have sleep apnea, and can't find any statement that I would consider lacking tact in OP's comments.
Yours on the other hand, I find plenty.
No, I don't think I will.

We've asked you before to avoid personal swipes like this on HN.
