“Diets do not work. Not just paleo or Atkins or Weight Watchers or Goop, but all diets.
Since 1959, research has shown that 95 to 98 percent of attempts to
lose weight fail and that two-thirds of dieters gain back more than they
lost. The reasons are biological and irreversible.
“
Fatsplaining at its finest. I don’t give a fuck when someone chooses to not be healthy, but don’t sit there and make bullshit excuses and blame anything other than yourself and your lack of self control. Take responsibility and own up to it, you’re not fooling anyone.
I’m sorry other people’s shapes make you so angry that you pretend science is wrong
Obviously this person must think climate change is wrong and vaccines cause autism
nah I think we should really stop glorifying cigarettes
you sound boring.
You sound like you’ve never had the scent of cigarette smoke ingrained in your clothes to the point where people in middle school thought you smoked at eleven because your parents couldn’t be bothered to go outside. You sound like you’ve never had your mother flick cigarette ashes out of the car window and have them fly into your face. You sound like you’ve never been kept up at night by the sound of your dad hacking up a lung because he has to get up for his midnight smoke. You sound like you’ve never had to run into a convenience store to get your mother cigarettes as soon as you turned eighteen and cringed at touching the box because you know they’re not only killers but government sanctioned killers because they can not only tax the shit out of them but ensure people buy more at the cost of young lungs and a once beautiful home now plagued with the smell of smoke and ash. You sound like you’ve never had a great grandmother who stopped smoking 30 years before her death who still got lung cancer and subsequently died. You sound like a Fucking ignoramus. Smoking isn’t Fucking cool, it isn’t fun to glorify, it’s disgusting and makes not only you but your children smell bad. Makes not only you but your children cough, get cancer, get sick.
You sound like a Fucking moron. Smoking isn’t cool. Grow the Fuck up.
No, you grow the fuck up. There’s mountains of constant judgment when it comes to smoking. How about you leave people alone and let them do what they want with their bodies.
There is a REASON. It’s not just their bodies they’re fucking. It’s never just their bodies with something fucking airborne. Especially when you have CHILDREN AND PETS.
My grandfather smoked in his house decades ago. We moved in. We started working on it. After just one day of having the AC off so it could be worked on, I could no longer stay in the house because the smell was coming out of the walls <I>so strongly</I> and triggering my asthma to the point where I couldn’t breathe. My grandfather is dead and his smoking still managed to effect me that negativity. It is not just their body.
My aunt took up smoking in secret as a coping method for her depression. My cousin found out and she was so scared for her mom’s health that she hid the cigarettes. But when my aunt noticed they were missing, do you think she had a calm conversation about the whole thing with my cousin? Nope. She stormed into her room in such a rage, my cousin was too scared to even argue. She just gave the cigarettes back and prayed for her mom to leave the room. There was no explanation for why she took up smoking, for why she was trying to hide it, no reassurance for her worried daughter, not even a question as to why my cousin took them… there was just addiction-fueled anger. Directed at a child who had no control over her environment.
And then there’s my own mother, who has never taken up smoking, but who grew up with two chain-smoking parents. My mom who has permanent lung and throat damage from a lifetime of breathing in smoke that she didn’t ask for. My mom who now takes daily medication so her throat doesn’t ache.
But, tell me again how smoking only affects your body?
I grew up breathing not only my step-dad’s cigarette smoke, but all his friends as they’d frequently hang out in the living room together creating a cloud of smoke that permeated the whole house.
I got asthma at 10.
I found a growth in my left lung at 30.
I now have 1 lung. 1 lung and I’m still asthmatic.
Fuck people who smoke around children.
If you can’t agree with this, then fucking unfollow the shit out of me. Too many people in my family have died. My grandfather lost his wife to Lung Cancer. He still smokes though. And my dad who stopped cold turkey when my oldest brother was born and went through hell to make sure his first kid wouldn’t have to also. But did it help? No. Because his mom didn’t care that she had a newborn inhaling her goddamned secondhand smoke. Don’t you dare say it only affects the smoker. Don’t you dare.
Don’t smoke around other people. Don’t smoke around pets. Don’t smoke in places folks /have/ to frequent. Nothing with lungs and a nose should have to be affected by your habit. That goes for vaping as well.
Don’t smoke in public places, like restaurants and parks.
Don’t smoke.

Anonymous asked :
Can you further explain Kalvin Garrah's negativity? cuz I know he is extreme and that can be negative but how do you find him harmful? (I'm a different anon from the first, but I genuinely wanna know because I'm trying not to be harmful to others)
A lot of his channel is about mocking trans people that don’t fit into cisnormative beauty standards. Like, “you can tell [x] is a trender because they’re wearing [y].” Concentrating on degrees of passability really harms your self image in the long run. If you teach yourself to criticize ~flaws~ in other people, you’ll end up fixating on the flaws you perceive in yourself.
+ in (almost all of) his videos, he’ll say something like “I, on the other hand, am a Real Trans Person because i would never wear [y], since I feel dysphoric and miserable All Of The Time.”
Equating being trans enough to constantly suffering inevitably encourages trans teens (most of whom are pre-op and pre-HRT) to exasterbate their own suffering for validation. His content encourages a mindset that encourages misery.
I’m at mcdonalds and this teenage boy just asked his friend why he was wearing a superman shirt with a batman hat and he said “they’re boyfriends you asshole” the children………… are our future perhaps
ppl are implying this is fake and I won’t try to convince u bc idc but I gotta ask: do u think if I wanted to make something up it would be a story where I’m sitting at mcdonalds alone and eavesdropping on teenagers when one of them said something funny? do u really think that’s the flattering picture of myself I wish to present? sad nosy lady at mcdonalds?
1). It’s frustrating that people of colour and trans folks have been calling out his awful behaviour for years and no one cared but the minute a cis white woman says something he actually suffers consequences.
2). I hate that people are framing it as only bad because he’s doing it to straight guys like no??? It’s bad because pressuring someone into sexual things is bad, even if he was doing it to other gay guys, using his fame to manipulate like that is not okay. And talking about it like “omg leave straight guys alone” only reinforces homophobic stereotypes. It’s bad because he’s a predator and manipulator, not because he flirted with a straight person.
3). Why is the bigger focus on some fucking hair pills like yeah okay, he betrayed his friend but the predatory stuff is clearly more important?
4). All his friends/peers now saying they’ve noticed creepy stuff about him for ages now, like then why the fuck didn’t you say anything? Even Tati waited until he had pissed her off personally before exposing him. Sorry, but if he’s an actual predator then you owe it to people to say something. And half of these people definitely have a big enough platform to do something.
5). One of the victims literally made a video last week explaining his whole experience, I barely saw anyone talking about it and half of those who did were saying James probably just misread the signals/this guy led him on. Waaay to support victims there folks.
the “man in a dress” joke is literally textbook definition transmisogyny but when your fav shows and comics do it suddenly yall pull out dozens of excuses trying to justify it in context to its universe as if the author didnt pull this shit themselves
me: the people behind this show/comic didnt think about how this joke is really harmful to trans women and that’s absolutely shitty of them.
y'all about to yell “bUt In CoNtExT tO tHe ScEnE-”:
detective pikachu beating endgame on the friday opening is so fucking funny to me because, like, marvel have been hyping endgame up so much and it’s the culmination of ten years and there’s been so much secrecy about the plot, and then detective pikachu literally just has a little furry friend with the voice of ryan reynolds
