you depend on the wind blowing.

For achieving maximum speed, sure. To simply guarantee you get there? Not at all - the Iberians knew how to navigate solely on maritime currents 500 years ago.

If sails were that great we would still be using them for freight, we didn’t switch to petroleum for the fun of it.

We started using pretroleum because capitalism requires infinite growth as fast as you can muster it. Particularly with modern refrigeration techniques and automation, time insensitive navigation for transport could easily be done with sails.

It's objectively more effective to exercise more than to eat less. There are countless studies on the subject.

From the tone of the first message, I'm guessing that's not the first off-by-one error in their relationship.

Nah, anyone that's childish enough to ask something like that isn't worth the effort.

People can get fat if they eat as much as I do

Then its up to those people to fucking get out of their asses and exercise. It's one thing to be fat because of a health issue like hypothyroidism, and a whole different thing to choose being fat. In either case, you can't really demand people to think an unhealthy, droopy and blobby body is beautiful, all you can ask is for people to not be rude about it.

Here's a very apt comparison: I suffer from hyperhidrosis, a condition which makes me sweat 100% of the time regarless of temperature. Which do you think more reasonable: that I wear deodorant, refresh myself and shower often; or that I demand people to live with and enjoy my body odour?
