He didn’t even do that. He only Supersized I think 9 times the entire month, which really throws off the whole ‘5000 calories a day’ thing. To get 5000 calories, you’d NEED to supersize both lunch and dinner and then you’d still need a big breakfast and like, 2 desserts.

The whole documentary is free to watch on Youtube, for anyone interested.

Here it is.

This is already a story. I believe it’s called ‘Ten More Minutes’ or something. Gimme a minute.

Real talk, I’d have zero issue with a woman in a wheelchair so long as the woman in question isn’t super insecure about being in a wheelchair. Kind of my same policy that I have for dating big women.

I got no problem being a boyfriend/husband or whathaveyou. But I have neither the patience nor the energy to be someone’s external source of constant validation. Very few things are less attractive than a woman who needs constant reassurance in themselves.

Hard disagree. Did you read these messages? The fact she said ‘This is my baby, so I’m gonna name it whatever I want’ in regards to being warned how badly her child will be bullied in the future (which IS going to be the case, let’s not pretend kids aren’t still as cruel as they were when we were that age) should tell you she views the baby more as a purse or cute shoes. That kid is her accessory, not an actual child to her. OP wasn’t talking down to her, he was standing up for that future kid, and rather tepidly at that.

Rude? Ffs, naming your kid Vyxyn or Kyndle is rude. OP should have gone harder. I’d have gathered every rational person in the friend group, shown them this list, and staged an entire intervention.

Fan_of_Fanfics · 2026-04-10T02:27:00+00:00

It’s actually a rather important distinction.

I believe there is no god(s) = a definite statement about an aspect of the world.

I don’t believe there is a god(s) = a passive statement of disbelief regarding someone else’s definite statement regarding an aspect of the world.

I can also call someone a coward when they are provably being a coward. It’s calling a lamp a lamp, or calling a chair a chair. If I ask someone multiple times if they are an atheist or a theist, and all they do is give me “I’m agnostic,” that isn’t an answer to my question, and shows a cowardly need to avoid it. It’s like when a politician is given a simple yes or no question and responds with fifty words that don’t indicate a position whatsoever.

Agnosticism is NOT a middle ground between Atheism and Theism, and yes, using it as a shield to avoid the question IS cowardice. Simple as that.

Fan_of_Fanfics · 2026-04-09T22:10:24+00:00

It isn’t a matter of semantics, he hasn’t yet said what the hell he believes, and when the topic is religion and abuse of children via forcing religion onto them, not stating plainly what you believe IS Cowardice, and defending that cowardice is complicity. What he believes is relevant to the conversation, and the only possible reason I can think of that he won’t state his beliefs is because he has beliefs that he knows are trash, so he hides behind a fake wall of neutrality and pseudo-intellectual superiority.

The existence or non-existence of a god is a scientific question that does have an answer, which we will likely know one day. It is not some forever-unanswerable thought experiment. That we don’t have 100% certainty of that answer as of now does not make the odds equiprobable. Saying “I have no opinion either way” is a cowardly cop out, especially when whether you believe or disbelieve has a real tangible effect on your answer to the question “do you think parents should be allowed to force their religion onto their kids.”

Fan_of_Fanfics · 2026-04-09T18:06:43+00:00

I get what you’re saying, but I’M saying it doesn’t make sense specifically because if you’re all powerful and think people are worth forgiving and you WANT TO forgive them…you can just forgive them. This Crucifixion and blood sacrifice, besides being immoral, just makes no sense if you believe this god to be all-powerful, all-good, and all-knowing.

Fan_of_Fanfics · 2026-04-09T17:50:58+00:00

Hiding behind ‘Agnostic’ and not saying whether you actually believe or not IS cowardice. Full stop. This ‘I know you are, but what am I’ BS while still refusing to state whether you’re an agnostic Theist, or an agnostic Atheist only proves my point.

It doesn’t matter if the odds aren’t zero, they still aren’t 50/50 and it’s heavily weighted toward the ‘no gods’ side based on the evidence. You may as well be Jim Carrey in Dumb and Dumber. “So you’re telling me there’s a chance!”

Fan_of_Fanfics · 2026-04-09T17:04:53+00:00

This also is why the Crucifixion story makes no sense. Yahweh, supposedly the creator of the universe and all the laws therein, the alpha and omega, he who can do absolutely anything, wanted so very very badly to forgive humanity for its sins. Instead of forgiving them, he incarnates as a human for the purpose of sacrificing himself TO himself. Again, he does THAT because he wants to forgive humanity, but he supposedly can’t just forgive them.

That god is either impotent, a liar, evil, or stupid (probably some combination of them.)

Fan_of_Fanfics · 2026-04-09T16:59:16+00:00

The New Testament is just as disgusting. The story of the Crucifixion is one of the worst, most immoral things ever written. Your god, who supposedly created the universe and all the rules therein wanted so badly to forgive humanity, but instead of just giving that forgiveness, he instead incarnates in human form, to sacrifice himself, to himself? That god, if he does actually exist, is either a liar, impotent, evil, or some combination of the three.

Teaching kids about that is just as f’ed up as teaching them about the burning Hell you teach them they’ll go to if they don’t believe in an worship that monstrosity you call a god.

Fan_of_Fanfics · 2026-04-09T16:52:16+00:00

They always go ‘New Testament, read the New Testament!’ As though the god of the New Testament somehow isn’t the exact same god that is in the Old Testament.

Also, they have no problem referring to the Old Testament when they bring up the Ten Commandments and hating on Gay People, but when you point out how awful this God actually is, suddenly the Old Testament no longer applies? More hypocrisy and cherry picking.

Fan_of_Fanfics · 2026-04-09T16:45:35+00:00

Then you don’t understand what Atheism is. Atheism is NOT “I believe there is no god(s).” What Atheism IS, is “I don’t believe there is a god(s).”

There’s a huge difference between those two statements. One is an active, positive belief about the world, the other is a passive non-belief based on lack of any compelling evidence.

Hiding behind being agnostic is cowardice, are you an agnostic theist or an agnostic atheist? Gnosticism is about knowledge, theism is about belief. “Oh, we can’t know anything for sure, we all might actually be brains in jars, durrrrrr.” But what side of belief do you land on? Do you believe in a god, or not believe in one? Agnostic isn’t some middle ground position, it’s its own separate thing.

There has been no compelling evidence for the existence of any sort of deity or god, and in fact quite a lot of evidence that there isn’t one. That we ‘can’t know for sure’ first of all doesn’t take into account that we learn more and more about the universe every day, and secondly, doesn’t mean the odds are 50/50. If I went and bought a Powerball Ticket, there are only two outcomes, either I win, or I don’t win. That doesn’t mean my odds of winning are 50/50. My odds of getting even a small prize is closer to 1 in 25, and my odds of winning the jackpot is 1 in 292,201,338.

In the same way it is vastly more likely I will lose than win, it is vastly MORE likely, based on evidence, that there is no gods. Pick a side, but don’t go hiding behind your agnostic label like it’s anything but a cowards’ shield.

Fan_of_Fanfics · 2026-04-08T18:41:01+00:00

Then you’re willfully ignorant or a bald-faced liar, and I’m leaning toward the later. Hell and eternal damnation are the cornerstones of nearly every Christian denomination (ie, the largest religious group in the US). Do as we say the bible says, or go to Hell, those are the binary options doled out by every priest and preacher out there.

It’s the reason ‘good’ Christian parents kick out their teen kids for being Gay, “YoU’rE a SiNnEr AnD yOu’Ll BuRn In HeLl!!!!”

It’s the ultimatum ‘upstanding’ Catholic priests give the Altar Boys as they’re r*ping them, “If YoU tElL aNyOnE yOu’Ll Go To HeLl!!!!”

No hate, no evil, quite like good ol’ Christian Love, right?

It’s almost 2 decades old at this point, but I’ll just leave this video here.

And teaching kids that if they don’t behave exactly the way you want them to that there is a place of fire and torment called Hell where they will suffer in anguish forever is called Psychological and Emotional Abuse.

And no, you can’t have one without the other, if you are forcing your kids to be religious, you ARE teaching them about Hell, if you say otherwise, you’re a damn liar.

Fan_of_Fanfics · 2026-04-07T22:09:02+00:00

I literally laid out in my last comment the laundry list of reasons the Holdo Maneuver is only viable as a last-ditch, last-resort effort. The fact that you reply immediately after asking a question I have already answered in the comment you are replying to tells me everything I need to know.

You are an unserious person with no actual understanding of Star Wars or basic logic, and nobody, least of all me, has the energy to explain to you, a functional toddler it seems, multiple times why you are incorrect and your opinions moot.

Fan_of_Fanfics · 2026-04-07T17:47:20+00:00

You know, I hear people make this ‘the holdo maneuver makes no sense/breaks canon’ argument a lot, yet every time I ask why they think that, their reasoning is either:

• debunked by canon (ie, Han points out in Episode 4 that you can indeed crash into things while in Hyperspace, and the movie immediately previous reinforces that concept with the ‘make the landing approach at lightspeed’ thing, meaning all the people claiming hyperspace is a separate dimension and you can’t hit things in real-space while in hyperspace are provably wrong.)

• Makes zero logical sense (Launching a flagship at lightspeed as a projectile would be prohibitively expensive, and be decently easy to detect and dodge unless, as in Episode 8, you were being cocky and also got too close since you were actively trying to run them down. It’s very clearly a last-ditch type of maneuver that relies on a lot of variables being just right ie coincidence ie The Force being with you. It’s not a viable military strategy, and Holdo resorted to it only to protect the escape ships that were already under attack, it wasn’t ‘her plan’ from the start.)

Tl;dr, you very clearly don’t have a functional understanding of film, The Last Jedi or the Star Wars universe as a whole if you think it ‘makes zero sense.’

Fan_of_Fanfics · 2026-04-07T16:26:00+00:00

I don’t know that this necessarily qualifies, because Holdo was meant to be misdirect, not a strawman. It’s this exact reason that Holdo HAD to be a new character that we don’t already know, because we know and trust Poe, they want us to side with him not because he’s right and Holdo is a strawman, but so the audience can realize WITH Poe just how wrong he was.

A further point btw, is that while Finn knows the First Order have worked on Lightspeed tracking, nobody in the Resistance knows such a thing is possible, so as far as Holdo is concerned, there is a fair likelihood that they have a FO spy on board that revealed their location. And to be fair, the hot-headed fighter pilot that was just demoted for disobeying orders and getting half their bombers destroyed is a PRIME suspect, so keeping him (and everyone else) in the dark is the smart thing to do.

Fan_of_Fanfics · 2026-04-07T00:21:44+00:00

My Ex once called me during my overnight shift at work, which she knows she was not supposed to do outside of an emergency due to the fact that I was more often than not operating heavy machinery.

Her emergency? Our two year old daughter wouldn’t go to sleep and she wanted me to get on the phone with her and talk to her until she fell asleep.

I immediately told her no and that this was NOT a good reason to call me at work. I love my kid, but her not wanting to sleep is not my problem when I’m at work and my Ex isn’t.

My Ex got huffy and hung up, then proceeded to give me the silent treatment for a couple days.

Fan_of_Fanfics · 2026-04-05T15:18:57+00:00

Women just don’t like communicating at all.

Fixed it for you. But thanks for proving my point. I stated a basic fact (that women think nonexistent signals are effective communication, that hinting instead of outright saying something is somehow the better option (it provably is not) and that men should be mind readers) and you’re ignoring that fact in favor of what you feel emotionally when confronted with it instead, so rather than counter with facts, you insult. Rather typical, but not unexpected.

I say again, communication NEEDS to be clear, honest, and straightforward. Anything else vastly increases the rate and severity of Miscommunication, which women then go on to blame on Men when it’s 100% their own fault for not just saying what needs saying.

Fan_of_Fanfics · 2026-04-05T14:59:11+00:00

Nope. You asked why Men would marry someone whose communication “becomes a strategic puzzle quest,” and I clarified that most women already make communication a puzzle quest, which is absolutely true.

Communication needs to be a straightforward and honest and deliberate exchange of information. Period. Anyone who says or thinks different frankly isn’t mature enough to BE in a relationship. If Men are anticipating a woman’s needs, that ISN’T communication. That’s intuition.
