We need weight loss ads now more than ever. Trump has reinvigorated the Fat Liberation group. The obesity epidemic is at its highest point ever. We need weight loss ads now more than ever.

Lol was this you

Seriously bruh, if you wanna make a case about nutritional defecits and the declining vitamin and mineral content in agricultural produce, the overall failure of public school physical education to provide any productive and meaningful instruction on personal health and correct methods of exercise, the ever-increasing cost of healthy foods, and the frankly shameful rate of child hunger and food waste all collectively contributing to poorer health in persons of ALL body types, I'm happy to play ball, but if the beginning and end of your platform is "there are more fat people than there used to be and being fat is bad so promoting eating disorders and drug abuse is good actually" then you are straight up wasting everyone's time

"Uhhh but everyone was skinny in 1920 look at this "fat lady" who was in a freak show at the circus lol and look how average she would be now" do you have any idea how many vitamins and other supplements we have had to insert into the food and water supply to combat widespread malnutrition in the last several decades

You realize how many people had teeth rotting out of their heads before we put fluoride in drinking water

Jesus fucking christ, google "B12 defecit"

The population was skinnier because we were constantly on the precipice of dying from shit like low zinc, you absolute dingbat

People being 'fatter' than we used to be is a GOOD thing, combating genuine weight-related health issues with a constant barrage of image-critical ads and the promotion of eating disorders in scientifically proven to be harmful and ineffective bullshit, and the fact that thinness as a beauty standard has been pushed to such extremes as intentionally infecting oneself with viruses and parasites amd chemically and surgically-enforced starvation over the past several hundred years only proves that this is not a natural default but a heavily-reinforced and artificial standard

thinking about statues of Grace being built all around Erid years after his passing so he can continue to watch over Eridians as they sleep

some of you need to internalize this concept

I feel like starfish are one of those animals that are treated as very “normal” by people but absolutely shouldn’t be. Like they’re a wheel of repeating heads connected by a central stomach. They walk around using thousands of tiny sticky hydraulically powered tentacles. They have an eye on the end of each arm. Instead of having a mouth they just have an opening where their entire stomach can be pushed out to engulf prey. And they’re just allowed to exist like this. It’s not illegal or anything.

imagine how much more fucked up the history of the world would be if eating someone's brains reliably conferred on you their memory and knowledge

One of the funniest things about Mormonism is that I’m sure Joseph Smith never believed any of the bullshit he said. There are some religions and cults where you have faith the original prophet actually thought they were talking to angels or believed the set of principles they laid out for their followers were for the greater good. Joseph Smith was a dumbass but like PT Barnum he realized a sucker was born every day and he was one step above the average 1830s sucker. He went from making people pay him to look at a rock in a top hat and ‘locate buried treasure’ to receiving lost bits of scripture, through the rock and top hat method. His wife caught him cheating and he said an angel visited him and told him men should be allowed multiple wives and not obeying that would send her to hell. I’m fairly convinced that dude was an atheist. He was on that hustler grindset. Brigham Young might have actually believed some of the shit he said but I don’t think Joseph Smith genuinely had faith in Mormonism or gave a fuck about humanity in the slightest.

Few people hustle and scam so hard that they’re considered a martyr and a prophet 200 years later and their fanfiction is considered serious lost biblical scripture even though they stole lines from Shakespeare.

i like when a story has multiple major characters who are extremely important to the plot and close to the protagonist but rarely talk to eachother. like its just relatable to me. who hasnt had a 'best friend of my best friend' relationship. a 'guy whos in all my group chats but i genuinely dont remember their name sometimes' relationship. now imagine going on a quest to save the world together. incredible vibes.

I think fandoms tend to vastly overestimate the relationship between the audience and the creators of the source material. Creators are not obligated to touch their work ever again. All they did was create a work of art. They don't have to do anything beyond that. At any point, they can say "I'm done working on this." You are their audience, not their constituents.

I don't know who needs to hear this but listen. I've worked for my boss for over 20 years, which means I've devoted a good chunk of my life to the stuff we make. It's important to me as a result, but it's not mine. It will never be mine. It's his. And he just pissed me off with a pointless phone call that lasted past 5pm when I should've been relaxing, and the call accomplished nothing.

I used to get really upset over this stuff. Ten years ago I'd be crying right now. But today? I'm going to get something cold to drink and work on a bang submission. My job is important to me, but it's not my life. It's how I fund my life. If he wants to make stupid decisions, that's his choice. I get a paycheck either way.

Unless you work for yourself (and even then I think having a passion unrelated to work is good), please find something to look forward to outside of your job. It can be anything. Reading, writing, art, photography, gardening, cooking, collecting, fishing, yarncrafts, decorating, lounging on a hammock. And then when something ridiculous happens on the job that is out of your control, you can turn your mind to the thing that brings you joy instead. Don't waste your energy trying to change things completely out of your control.
