someone said they're fat because of their hormones and someone went "it makes no sense for hormones to make you fat, they can't create calories!" okay so there's something called a metabolism

got two people telling me it's "scientifically impossible" for a fat person to undereat because "where is the energy coming from". have you forgotten about how calories work? have you forgotten that calories can be burned?

people get very stupid when you tell them it's possible to be fat and still consume too few calories

No one should EVER monitor Nazi space without a strong support network that can check them regularly and watch for signs that the propaganda is taking hold, and address that reality promptly.

Without a rock solid accountability network, it is playing with fire.

This is I think also one of the reasons you (you as in a regular person) shouldn't got into nazi places to try and 'debate' them (or worse, to hang out and check the vibe. I know somebody who radicalized a lot after doing that to neo-nazi metal concerts (not the only reason he radicalized)).

wild how being anorexic without being underweight is called "atypical anorexia" despite being 3.5 times MORE COMMON than anorexia proper (i.e. anorexia among underweight people). what's really the atypical anorexia?

like i do not think you're obligated to label your sexuality but why are people so afraid to simply say bisexual. why do people prefer to say an entire sentence over one word. why do people act like bisexuality is too complicated to be labelled.

🇮🇪 rae (rachel) 🏳️‍🌈 @smoltittynerdgf.bsky.social · 1d

kind of frustrated when people go "oh i don't need to label my sexuality, all you need to know is i'm attracted to both men and women". why can't you just say bisexual. why is calling yourself bisexual harder than saying you're attracted to men and women.

i'm sure it wasn't intentional because otherwise why even tell me he's going to see it anyway but it's hard not to take it a little personally. i haven't seen him in 6 months i wanted to meet up

🇮🇪 rae (rachel) 🏳️‍🌈 @smoltittynerdgf.bsky.social · 2d

i said "my city is playing it" but he didn't seem to read it so he booked the ticket and asked for time off before i could go "hey do you want to meet up and watch it in my city instead".

my college friend wanted to see the new chainsaw man film and it's not shown where he lives so he decided to see it in the city we did our BA in and not my city despite our BA city being 1) an hour further away than my city and 2) only showing on a day he's working, requiring him to take a day off

"google is your friend" is an obnoxious thing to say to anything but it's ESPECIALLY obnoxious when they're not even right

maybe the reason why so many people don't wash their hands well is because the average public toilet tap goes on for like 2 seconds before you have to press it again

if i were someone who thought donald trump were ruining america this would be a pretty apt metaphor. unfortunately he's not, he's just showing us what america has always been.

there was so much wrong with that festival that I don't think much of anything would have been changed if they chose different bands

🇮🇪 rae (rachel) 🏳️‍🌈 @smoltittynerdgf.bsky.social · 3d

reading about woodstock 99 and why is everyone blaming how hardcore the bands were? that seems like the least of the festival's problems
