I ' m trying to frame the argument in the context of its own merits and firewall the discussion from the significant antifat sentiment that exists in society . Even the innocent way you framed your question by emphasizing and I ' m not fat in any way demonstrates the revulsion and desire to distance oneself from it . Fat people and smokers are the modernday version of lepers with the added benefit that it ' s socially acceptable to marginalize them . Bottom line is there are many situations where people will struggle with the smallerandsmaller seats provided by airlines not just fat people , we can either bendover and take it like the sheeple we are , or standup and demand better . <| sep |> Some people might disagree , but I ' d say you should absolutely savescum , especially on Ironman . Having a good ruler die and leave you in a 15 year regency can and will screw you out of an achievement , especially if it ' s one of the really hard ones . Likewise , savescumming close battlesrebel spawnsbad events can be worthwhile if you ' ve got the patience to keep retrying . Good luck with Ironman !
