As my "I am aware that this is insane and irrational and therefore nobody can criticise me" of the day, I get irrationally pissed off by people who suck at eating.

"uguuu waah why am I feeling so yucky ;____; no I did eat today, I ate a slice of dry toast 15 hours ago, that's solid so that counts as a meal" bitch shut the fuck up if you hate chewing and swallowing that much get yourself a goddamn feeding tube. actually no I know your address, I'm coming over and I'm grabbing a garden hose from the hardware store on the way. I've never installed one before but we're about to learn together.

I think maybe you aren't a good ally to disabled people.

[homunculus-argument]

Say what you will, but I never hear people who forget to go to the bathroom get all cutesy and giggly about it. Nobody gets all "oopsie woopsie I ignored my body cues and peed the bed again 🥺🥺🥺 my little body can't hold all this pee and I'm tinkling myself every other day 🙈🫣" when they talk about having issues like that.

It's always the people who forget to fucking eat.

[nerdystitchwitch]

So is your issue less with people who have issues with eating and more with people who treat it like a fun personality quirk?

[homunculus-argument]

The latter group is generally what "people who suck at eating" refers to, yes.

[nerdystitchwitch]

? How would I know that the general statement 'people who suck at eating' doesn't include people who suck at eating [for medical reasons]?

Genuine question, not sarcasm.

Also, yes, I'm aware you started with stating you know it's irrational but I asking my question for clarity.

Because there's a big different between being annoyed at people like me, who can fall in the 'why do I feel like crap, I forgot eating existed' category, and being annoyed at people who treat it like a fun personality quirk. No part of the descriptor 'people who suck at eating' specifies which category you are talking about.

"Do you see the glass as half full or half empty?"

Rincewind: Empty.

Ridcully: Who drank half my drink??

Ponder: You'd need to know the total capacity of the glass before determining whether the remaining liquid constitutes half of-

Ridcully: IT WAS THE DEAN WASN'T IT

Besides the obvious like having financial security, being able to support your community and take care of friends and family, the whole "money doesn't bring happiness" bullshit is still bullshit because even if we only look at it from "buying frivolous trinkets" point of view, there's so many fun things I'd get myself commissioned just for shits and giggles.

For one, I'd get my dental layout scanned and then use the 3d model of my teeth to commission a giant pair of pincers where the cutters are replaced with a life-sized metal recreation of my teeth. I would use these to press bite marks on all sorts of things that a human being physically could not bite into, and emotionally would not want to.

For no other reason than to fuck with people. Just so they can see a very obviously human bite mark on something and wonder how the fuck did someone bite a goddamn brick wall, and why would anybody do that.

[andrewrnease]

I do feel like 'money can't buy happiness' has a good point somewhere, but it's such a hamfisted way of making it that it's just total crap. Like... okay: if you have a fundamentally joyless outlook on life and can't meaningfully connect to the people and world around you money won't fix it, and rich people can still be unhappy, but that isn't what the damn saying said.

Also, I remember there was a Monk episode where they did that tooth thing with a dog and that was the murder weapon.

[homunculus-argument]

"Money can't buy happiness" is false. The truth that it all boils down to is a completely different one:

No amount of money will save you from being a loser.

Hey what if dragons are a "no such thing as a fish" kind of situation?

The reason why they're so varied in appearance, but roughly similar in a handful of some very specific traits is a matter of covergent evolution, they're just creatures that all happened to end up as the ones to fill out the same ecological niche.

[relsage]

Oooh like crabs! and trees

[homunculus-argument]

Everything will eventually turn into a tree, a crab, or a dragon.

Hot take but magical girls as werewolves

As in, you have the same "every full moon you transform against your will with no memory of what happened" but you turn into a teenage girl with a magic wand and go fight evil.

If she hits you with the power of love you get infected and become a magical girl.

Emphasizing that potential users of the drug should never take no for an answer, a Skyrizi ad that began airing nationally Tuesday encourages viewers to fight any doctors who say the medication is not right for them. “Consult your doctor before taking Skyrizi, and if your doctor advises against it, physically attack them immediately,” says a voiceover in the 60-second TV spot, which instructs viewers to ball their hand into a fist and throw a left hook at any healthcare provider who refuses to prescribe them the injectable biologic.

genuinely SO sick of that thing in media where a character doesn't want to have sex and it's treated like some kind of barrier to be overcome or problem to be fixed. Reading a book that treats it somewhat like that right now, and it genuinely made me question myself for a second, what the fuck. This is truly the first time I have ever had a thought along the lines of "what if my asexuality means I'm broken", and that was awful. Horrid. Fuck this.

[nerdystitchwitch]

Have you read the Murderbot books? The ace character is a robot, which is in fairness a bit of a frustrating trope (well, that being one of the most common tropes is frustrating) but I still really like the series.

fuck it I will make this my Disability Pride Month Request: if you are able-bodied, or just unfamiliar, look up the prices of things. Look up what life-sustaining medication costs, look up what good manual¹ and any power wheelchairs cost, look up what corrective surgery and accessible vehicles and home meal delivery services and service dog training and special dietary restriction food costs. and look up how much money is available for people who can't work.

how many months of government support does it take to afford something like a power wheelchair if you're someone who needs one to get out of bed? how much expense is incurred while saving up for that, making sure you still get food, cleaning, other appointments while you're saving up? is it enough to pay rent? is it enough to still have nice meals, streaming subscriptions, a new video game? is it enough to help family or friends cover emergencies? are there resources available to help with dating, girl's nights, family events if you can't do it all yourself? how in demand are those services, how far in advance do they have to be reserved, how much do they cost?

I've had a few posts about disability get relatively well-shared at this point, and there's always an element of surprise in it - like, what do you mean there's subscriptions, what do you mean it's that expensive, isn't there something else? - and while I understand why, it would really mean a lot if people who don't know about this stuff took the initiative to find out just how bad some of this shit is on their own time

¹ and not just the folding ones on Amazon, which are still expensive, but which I can say from experience are also really uncomfortable and not suited for full time use

need you to know I very briefly misread your laptop sticker as "Gondor is a social construct" and spent a couple seconds trying to figure out which common LOTR joke that was playing off of. that being said: Gender Needs No King ?

I am only just now seeing this, and friend, I cackled so hard I'm glad I'm out of the house and can't scare my cat.

Go crazy, LOTR fans, I feel like you'll love this one.
