Buying clothes at soup but for the TADC fandom

maybe y'all didn't notice but fat people who don't hate ourselves sure did notice that people were obsessed with shitting on fat people in the late 90s and early 2000s (conservative political time) and now are again (fascist political time), coincidentally while the market for weight loss has become a 90 billion dollar industry due to glp1s.

you are not immune to propaganda. it makes some people a whole hell of a lot of money for you to hate fat people and fear becoming (or staying, I think like 70% or something of the US is fat) one of us.

a lot of the fearmongering over fatness comes from studies directly funded by the weight loss industry...i think people don't really realize or think about the fact that research can absolutely be influenced and skewed by its funding. there is also research that shows that an amount of the negative health outcomes for fat people come from anti-fat bias. if you go to the doctor with concerns and the doctor simply tells you to lose weight, your problem is neglected and you may not even bother going to the doctor with the next problem.

every fat person you know for the most part probably has a story like this, of medical neglect. many of the stories i've heard personally are when the complaint or the doctor wasn't related at all, like being told to lose weight at the ear nose and throat doctor or at the dentist. it's straight up just bias. it's such a thing that in the show Shrill it's portrayed, when Aidy Bryant goes to the gynecologist and her doctor suggests she get gastric bypass.

the studies on health and fatness are simply not that black and white and there is basically no research that shows that more than an incredibly tiny minority of people can lose weight and keep it off for more than like 2 years. bodies have set points that they gravitate towards, it's not a personal failure. this also is how the weight loss industry succeeds so well - repeat customers.

some of the harm associated with fatness is also due to weight cycling, which is very hard on your body and is even worse if you get off a GLP1, which according to a recent study causes weight to be regained at a rate that is 4x faster than without taking a GLP1.

you don't have to hate yourself. you don't have to hate other people for their body type either. it makes me so sad to see the thinspo tag going around again in 2026 a lot like it was back in the day.

there's so much crazy shit once you go down the rabbit hole. for example, BMI was not invented by anyone with a medical background. it was never meant to measure individual health.

The U.S. weight loss industry reached an unprecedented high in 2023, estimated at $90 billion, largely driven by surging sales of the widely

Evidence is mounting that our body fat supports everything from our bone health to our mood, and now, research suggests it also regulates bl

"I did end up figuring out why he has to breathe now. B-basically, when a human enters the circus, their mind is first converted to a "base code," or a form of their brain that is directly converted to code. The base code still forces the person to breathe and eat and sleep, or else the brain code registers the person as dead and deactivates. Once the person enters the circus, their code adapts and loses the code that can let them die, essentially. When Caine was coming back from deletion, his code had to latch onto any template it could, which ended up being the base code.

There's a couple more things, though. His code corrupted a lot during the revival process, of course, but it was still corrupting slowly while he was gone. Which means that whatever happened while he was deleted, he was... likely conscious the entire time.

The other thing that I noticed is that Caine's emotional processor... doesn't have adapting capabilities. Well, it does, but not in the same way that his intelligence does. It's managed to accommodate emotions like joy and anger and sadness, but... nothing past that. We, uh... didn't really expect him to develop any kind of sapience, just sentience. Tomorrow I'm going to transfer those capabilities to his emotional processor, which should help him grow emotionally, kind of like a human can."

LORE DROP TIME!!!

Quick Kinger and Pomni break! Caine will be back next update

So... there's a minimum number for how long he's been there. You all know it's been longer, though :) that reveal will be later :))))))

They left the computer outside. It's password locked, anyways - there's no possible way Caine could get in!!!

Also AP exams are done!!! Now I just have finals week and then I can start working on this more!

YOUR PRESENCE HERE DEPRIVES ME OF BOTH

boy don't you just love placing all your self-worth on being useful?

i imagine conjuring is very draining for an AI that has had all admin privileges revoked. everybody else is a human; they can separate themselves from the code, in a way. it feels tangible, like a video game save file or a phone's camera roll. to Caine, it's probably more like chopping off all of your limbs and then performing a dissection on them with a pair of prosthetics.

hope the floor spontaneously glitching out isn't indicative of anything important! (why am i making everything important now i'm gonna have to remember all of this stuff later)

also sorry this update came a little late! one of my family members came into town and i wanted to prioritize spending time with her :)

oh yeah!! pretty sure there’s only gonna be one or two more posts until it’s the end of the intro — then it’s naming time :DDD
