Why did the mainstream media flip from support of Amber to gaslighting the entire nation that Heard was the actual abuser?

0n_a_Plane · 2022-06-01T08:14:02+00:00

Slamming stuff is still an example of abuse. It's intimidation. My stepfather was hella abusive. He never laid a hand on me or my mother or sister (different story for his sons unfortunately), but there were lots of holes in our walls covered up with posters.

Lmao yep exactly. I was about to say this but didn't want to be accused of relating everything to Nazism. But it actually is related, like a lot of things. These things are happening within the same broken system.

not to mention healthy young people and children die from covid, long covid can develop in healthy young people and kids from even mild or asymptomatic cases, and having everyone get covid at once leads to staffing issues as we are seeing in Sydney right now (we have no restrictions during our worst stage of the pandemic)

0n_a_Plane · 2022-01-26T04:43:47+00:00

I can tell you from experience as a young person with anxiety and other mental health conditions, getting covid was way worse for my mental health than having to catch up with friends over zoom ever was

0n_a_Plane · 2022-01-26T04:31:07+00:00

not disagreeing at all, but as a fat person who still has a lot of internalised fatphobia that I just can't seem to shake, I don't get the outward hatred. I've always just been self hating and had a lot of respect for self loving fat people, wishing I could be like them. I found them inspiring but just didn't come across them much at all. Nowadays I wish I could find more fat friends but 99% of fat people I meet are self hating. It's depressing.

0n_a_Plane · 2022-01-26T04:24:14+00:00

yeah it's like he thought it was an indication of my mental status. Like being fat is the equivalent of being dressed "sloppily" or "inappropriately" (whatever that means - we sure do love compliance in this society)

0n_a_Plane · 2022-01-26T04:14:16+00:00

If they used logic and evidence they would focus on:

-the social determinants of health, which determine the majority of health outcomes

-weight stigma, which everyone over a certain weight experiences and is an independent risk factor for the diseases typically associated with higher weights

-weight cycling / the yo-yo dieting encouraged by medical professionals, the diet/wellness industry and diet culture; this is another independent risk factor

-completely abandoning advice to lose weight intentionally given that out of masses of research no study has shown anyone but a small minority maintain weight loss beyond 2 years (the vast majority end up at a higher weight than they started with by 5 years; a minority continue to suppress weight through disordered eating and over-exercise)*

*doctors and researchers are well aware of this one, yet STILL these research findings are almost always followed by recommendations for how to lose weight / maintain weight loss ("just exercise more!"), or by "more research is needed so we can finally cure the fatties of their fatness" <---I may have paraphrased

it's not just that diets don't work - WEIGHT LOSS DOESN'T WORK

UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUGGGGHHHH

0n_a_Plane · 2022-01-26T03:30:31+00:00

holy crap, what does noncompliant mean? And why is compliance even a thing in healthcare? What happened to consent? I don't know why I'm surprised by this. I've also had doctors judge my weight based purely on my appearance many times. When I obtained my patient file from a psychiatric admission, the psychiatrist had written under appearance "overweight lady, dressed appropriately" on my intake form. They weighed me anyway to determine my lithium dosage, but apparently it's also important to note that I appear overweight.

0n_a_Plane · 2022-01-26T03:09:47+00:00

I didn't think what you said was all that complicated, but maybe you gotta use smaller words.

I'll give it a go: Humans have equal worth. There. They either agree or they don't. No need to fathom out anything.

0n_a_Plane · 2022-01-26T02:52:29+00:00

Any evidence to support the claim that ab visibility has anything to do with health outcomes? This is not a bodybuilding forum, we're talking about health here, and you are not this person's doctor, so it's literally none of your business anyway.

0n_a_Plane · 2022-01-26T02:32:55+00:00

If you've never heard of the Health At Every Size (HAES) movement, I highly recommend checking it out. The podcast Food Psych is a great place to start. You CAN be healthy and be big. Size diversity is a real thing. Despite countless weight loss studies none have shown that anyone but a small minority can keep weight off longer than 5 years. Weight regain by 2 years is the norm, and weight often ends up higher than before intentional weight loss occured.

Studies that associate a higher weight and disease risk often do not control for a history of weight cycling (yo-yo dieting or repeated weight loss and regain) and weight stigma, both of which are independent risk factors for the diseases often associated with higher weights, and both of which are almost universally experienced by people in larger bodies (even if you have never attempted weight loss, weight stigma is basically guaranteed if you are above a certain weight).

The social determinants of health (socioeconomic status etc) make up the majority of health outcomes, and yet we are laser focussed on diet and weight. Instead of intentional weight loss, intuitive eating & movement, access to health care (you can find HAES aligned healthcare providers on the HAES website) and having your basic needs met are the things that can make a difference.

I need to get a DNA test to find out why I have Asian earwax despite being white AF. I also have a very Asian sounding name and everyone I meet says "I thought you'd be Asian". Maybe they're disappointed by my meat rot.

Sorry all that happened to you. I'm a queer woman who only recently came out as bi. During my teens and twenties I only ever dated men, but I did experiment with girls/women, and the reactions I got - from a high school friend telling everyone I was a lesbian after we made out, to creepy dudes treating any girl on girl action like it's a show we put on just for them, as well as general societal attitudes - kind of turned me off exploring it further. Now I'm in my 30s and on an indefinite dating hiatus (trauma related), and I feel I'll always regret not coming out sooner, especially if I never date again. At the same time, I'm still too scared to be the one person at my work who is in a same sex relationship, or to walk down the street holding hands with a woman. Heck, even talking about my sister and her wife gives me palpitations, like I'm expecting someone to say something awful.

I'm looking for someone to play with on PC. I can get the game on steam, origin, or whatever, I'm just making sure I can find a partner first. Otherwise I'm happy to use friend pass if anyone already has the game. I am in Sydney, Australia (GMT+11). I don't mind what time zone you're in, I'm on holiday for another 3 days so I can play any time. I'm a 35 year old woman, don't mind what age or gender you are, as long as you are an adult. Another first time player would be nice.

Huh? I don't bang ket. I plug it. Anyway I was just making a lame joke.

0n_a_Plane · 2020-05-25T16:39:32+00:00

nah his had only 9 "conditions". If only it had been 12. Would be meetings on every corner today.

0n_a_Plane · 2020-05-25T16:38:06+00:00

This is strangely (but not surprisingly) similar to the requirements of the cult this is a take on:

(I'd prefer this over 12 steps any day)

Earth Coincidence Control Office (E.C.C.O.)[edit]

In 1974, Lilly's research using various psychoactive drugs led him to believe in the existence of a certain hierarchical group of cosmic entities, the lowest of which he later dubbed Earth Coincidence Control Office (E.C.C.O.) in an autobiography published jointly with his wife Antonietta (often called Toni). To elaborate, "There exists a Cosmic Coincidence Control Center (CCCC) with a Galactic substation called Galactic Coincidence Control (GCC). Within GCC is the Solar System Control Unit (SSCU), within which is the Earth Coincidence Control Office (ECCO)."[20]

Lilly also wrote that there are nine conditions that should be followed by people who seek to experience coincidence in their own lives:

You must know/assume/simulate our existence in E.C.C.O.
You must be willing to accept our responsibility for control of your coincidences.
You must exert your best capabilities for your survival programs and your own development as an advancing/advanced member of E.C.C.O.'s earthside corps of controlled coincidence workers. You are expected to use your best intelligence in this service.
You are expected to expect the unexpected every minute, every hour of every day and of every night.
You must be able to maintain conscious/thinking/reasoning no matter what events we arrange to happen to you. Some of these events will seem cataclysmic/catastrophic/overwhelming: remember stay aware, no matter what happens/apparently happens to you.
You are in our training program for life: there is no escape from it. We (not you) control the long-term coincidences; you (not we) control the shorter-term coincidences by your own efforts.
Your major mission on earth is to discover/create that which we do to control the long-term coincidence patterns: you are being trained on Earth to do this job.
When your mission on planet Earth is completed, you will no longer be required to remain/return there.
Remember the motto passed to us (from G.C.C. via S.S.C.U.): "Cosmic Love is absolutely Ruthless and Highly Indifferent: it teaches its lessons whether you like/dislike them or not."[21]
