#genuinely: this is what further research into the famous 'marshmallow test' showed#it wasn't that kids who were able to delay gratification were more likely to be successful later on#due to intrinsic qualities#it was that kids who had a stable upbringing were more likely to be successful#and ALSO: those kids had trust that their caregivers would keep promises#which is WHY they were willing to give up one marshmallow now for the promise of two marshmallows later#kids who did NOT have trustworthy caregivers#or who were in a fundamentally unstable situation#DID NOT have that trust so they wanted their one marshmallow NOW#same deal here i think#it's not that Gen Z is bratty#it's that they have no trust in the system and no faith that promises will be fulfilled#and frankly i do not blame them -@cicerfics

Honestly even as an elder millennial I've started seeing this in myself. I'm struggling to save for something long term as opposed to buying it as soon as I have the money - because if I wait, who knows if it will still be there? Who knows if it will still be the same quality? Who knows if the price will still be affordable or if it will have once again spiked enough that I have to save up for it?

And that's for someone who had an entire lifetime of buying into the system and hoping things would eventually get better and pay off. I'm not surprised at all that people younger than me are even more jaded and cynical.

my mum has severe knee problems and needs a replacement. Today she was told she's too fat to be operated on and the knee specialist suggested she gets a gastric band - which also involves surgery. So my mum was like first of all you didn't read my file because it explains that I'm not fat because I eat too much second of all you said it's impossible for me to get surgery and then suggested I get a surgery about it? He then asked her her weight and height, didn't believe her answer, and made her prove it to him because she "looks fatter than that". So she was like so you also just entirely based this on looks instead of actual numbers?

My mom went through something similar. She needed a knee replacement and her doctor wouldn’t okay it until she lost weight, which was difficult given the whole knee problem preventing her from walking thing. He told her she was too dangerous to operate on and that there were just too many risks.

My mom tried to lose weight in vain for months before she finally gave into my begging her to get a second opinion. The first doctor she saw next scheduled her for surgery the same day she met him. When my mom asked about the risk of operating on her he told her that there was some minor risks for complication and that all she would need to do to alleviate the risk was spend an extra night in the hospital so that they could keep a look out for any complications.

There were zero. There were also zero complications when she had her other knee done, her hip replaced and her gallbladder removed.

Almost like the first doctor was entirely full of shit and just trying to coerce his patient to lose weight by scaring her for fucking nothing, even when she was living day to day in excruciating pain and desperately needed a surgery.

I got that from a neurosurgeon who told me the risks were too high that if they put me on my stomach I'd code.

I got a second opinion. The second doctor didn't quite roll his eyes when I told him what the first doctor said, but he did say, "I'm not worried about you coding. The biggest risk is that success rates are lower for obese patients but there will be a zero percent success rate if we don't try.

My primary goal for surgery was that I would be able to sit without pain after. Not only didn't I code, but by a month after the surgery, I was weaning off pain meds because I didn't need them anymore for post surgical pain, and climbing stairs. At 2 months out I was able to drive more than 3 hours a day.

Too fat to operate on is not a patient problem--it's a skill issue.

I'm passionate about literacy because I believe that access to communication and information is a human right. but also because I'm waiting for a delivery that they keep going to another house on my street with a similar name, and it needs a signature but the residents aren't there during the day. Today will be the third attempt. Please I just want my parcel

when i say i like hiking, i don’t mean “eight mile backpacking trip with special gear and an emergency beacon” sort of hiking, i mean a three mile loop to go look at pretty things and then a huge brunch after.

[alphacrone]

this is in no way a slam on hardcore hiking, it’s very fun, but i mostly just need to lower people’s expectations when i say hiking is a hobby of mine

Harrison Norris For our blacked-out War Boy eyes, we used this really thick MAC eyeliner, and at the end of the day, we got to the point that we stopped trying to get it off the inside of our eyes. It was impossible, so we gave up and lived in guyliner for eight months, and the funniest thing was that as we got toward the last two or three months, we'd start seeing all the locals in town—the guys who had nothing to do with performing or being War Boys—were wearing guyliner as well. We accidentally glam-rocked the shit out of that place.

[ID: A Mastadon post by Christopher Phin. It shows a font where each letter of the alphabet is a capitalized bubble letter with the lowercase form of the letter included in the linework.

it's also significant that almost all of the letters are drawn with a single line where possible

i very strongly dislike the PCOS community on tiktok because its all people talking about how to lose weight and lower testosterone and reduce body hair and i think a big part of it is how doctors introduce PCOS as a Scary Bad Thing that will Hurt You and make you Fat and Hairy and then give you 0 information on it before they throw you on birth control and tell you to lose weight. and its always very revealing to me when people talk about PCOS how they feel about fat people, hairy people, and intersex people, because if youre really that scared of looking like you have PCOS then you probably dont like other people who have those traits, PCOS or not. this is all to say that i think its extremely important that there be PCOS positivity even if it is a very frustrating and painful condition because a lot of the symptoms have been slapped with undue concerns when in reality theyre harmless and only deemed as issues because the healthcare system is evil

burgers are awesome. so are pussies. so you'd think something called the "borgussy" is something very good, but according to my friend Karl Marx such is not the case.

Happy tenth anniversary to this comic. I just learned that it’s still being shared constantly on Tumblr. I don’t totally understand why people like it so much, but I like it too.
