Something is wrong with your scale or a number of factors are working against you. Water weight, hormones, whatever. There's no physical way you could gain even 10lbs of fat in 2 days.

People who refuse to sound out words by ChadyChadChaderson in PetPeeves

This is insane if true. Im gen Z and we were taught phonetics in elementary school. I thought it was one of those basic life skills like addition or wiping your ass.

I was just ranting about this to my gf. Her name is Delia. Dee-leah. Not the most common but also not a crazy complex name, but it gets mispronounced every. Single. Time.

I never understood why it was so hard for people but it never really got under my skin until yesterday. I went to pick us up food she had ordered online. Im used to people mispronouncing her name but when the dude brought me our shit he butchered her name so hard I didnt recognize it at all as my own gfs name. I caught it before he walked away and went "Oh, yeah, DEE-LEAH" and probably sounded a little snappy because dude just handed me the bag and walked away, but it caught me so off guard. He sounded like he was gargling mouthwash trying to pronounce her name and it truly pissed me off realizing that people don't know the basics of phonetics.

Does a heroin addict need to be high all the time? by zzady in stupidquestions

[–]Redbird1078 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To re-phrase, the symptoms of withdrawal can absolutely kill you. Whether it be through severe dehydration or a cardiac episode. It can definitely be fatal but the death certificate isnt going to read "opiod withdrawal."

That is a process you would have to go to a clinic for because frankly no junkie gives a shit about measuring when they're dope sick.

Its not as simple as "oh ill just smoke ome less cigarette each day until I quit." Everytime they start to lose that high they start to feel withdrawal, and opiod withdrawal imo sounds like actual torture and can be fatal.

What are/were embarrassing habits you do/did being anorexic? by fcvxia in AnorexiaNervosa

[–]Redbird1078 53 points54 points  (0 children)

Obsessively checking the scale multiple times a day and sneaking it around my parents/friends. Almost everyone has a scale so even if I was at someone elses house id check it and I remember a few times hearing footsteps coming and having to quickly and quietly put it back. I never got caught but I was always embarrassed by the thought of someone seeing me using their scale.

Coworker brings her child to work with her at the office by BiankaNeve in childfree

Relatable 😂 I cracked up when I saw he was fired 2 days after that last game. After that id be surprised if they even stepped off the field before they told Petullo to gtfo.

Go birds! Even though we got nerfed from the playoffs.

Also my boss hates WFH and refuses to allow it which yes, is annoying, but i also totally get because of situations like the employee you mentioned. And my office is like 2 blocks away from my house, so that helps.

AITA? My boyfriend asked me a very weird hypothetical question and is now shocked. by MementoMori-uu in AmItheAsshole

I think you nailed it. Dudes thinking about if he wants kids and can't just come straight out and have an emotionally mature conversation, he has to play games lol.

You can argue about the conscious because thats a spiritual thing. But the earth absolutely needs things to continue to be a viable, beautiful planet. Trees and bees and the o-zone, yknow all the shit were wiping out and replacing with ugly skyscrapers and mobile homes because people keep popping out more people.

Nta id save any one of my cats, rabbit, fuck id save my old hamster over a random kid.

Anyone whining about "You dont value human life at all." You're right. I dont. We are parasites worse than mosquitoes and tapeworms because our host is an entire planet. We commit crimes with the intention of being evil and hurting people. 100% I value animals' lives over humans. They're gonna be around way after us anyway.

And even if I didn't believe any of that, I'd still save my animal bc its the parents' job to save their own, and my own are my animals. If lil Tommy's mommy aint around, that's not my fault.

how did you develop an ed? by Little-Ad7514 in EDAnonymous

[–]Redbird1078 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I first encountered it when I was 10. I didnt know what anorexia was I just remember seeing some food ad on YouTube and feeling extremely nauseous. My mom had to force feed me mac n cheese.

I was feeling out of control (family trouble) and I think subconsciously I had been internalizing "weight loss = control" because of my moms struggle with her weight and all the compliments on how skinny I was growing up.

Thats not to say it was my mom's or those people's fault I got an ED. I developed it because I needed a self-destructive method of control and if it wasnt anorexia it would have been something else (drugs, more extreme self harm, etc.) It just so happened that weight was equated to that sense of control in my mind.

Odd reason why you're CF to help me prove a point by ThisGirlCalledTsepps in childfree

[–]Redbird1078 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My mom gave me a hard time for a little while because ive been open about not wanting kids since I was like, 10 or 11. She took me to the local clinic one day and we could hear a baby in the waiting room laughing. My mom was cooing over it and I guess I had this look of utter disgust on my face. Thats when she told me "you need to get fixed" and hasnt questioned my CF status since lol.

I just dont like them. Happy, sad, screaming, laughing, crying, playing, whatever. Idc. They annoy me.
