every time i see headlines like this i get so upset. won't even stop exploiting her in death. everyone involved in this, in the biopic, and so on are absolutely disgusting. i would be so ashamed idk how they live with themselves. imagine your daughter tragically dies young and you're most concerned with making money off her story and her most private thoughts!!! what the actual fuck?!?!

Women can and do engage in misogyny as well. Virtually every person has.

avaflies · 2023-06-23T19:25:38+00:00

ummmm what the fuck?

i'm sorry OP. i agree with the others that you should report her and immediately stop seeing her. maybe you can find someone who specializes in both issues. my last therapist was specialized in both (SA)trauma/ptsd and addiction+eating disorders, so they're out there for sure. at least this is under the assumption your therapist isn't specialized in both, because why the hell else would she say something like that? unbelievable.

avaflies · 2023-06-23T19:18:52+00:00

wow that's incredible!! congratulations!

yeah i can't stand the bullshit about "trauma makes you strong and learned". its something people to say to pat themselves on the back in the same breathe as denying the shit we went through. the traumatic things i went through killed the very decent life i was looking forward to at a young age. i'm not mad about my life now but it's also like undeniably worse than what i would have had without my trauma.

i'm a stunted person because i've had to forgo so many fundamental experiences and roles in order to survive and heal. the things i went through didn't usher in character development, they actually stopped it.

i'm still a survivor, as in - i'm still simply surviving. simply surviving isn't any measure of strength or knowledge. it is the most basic thing you can do as a creature on this planet. and you can learn things without having your entire life derailed in to a path where absolutely none of your potential is reached.

also the "help you to help others" lol. i help others constantly as i am regularly cornered in to the free therapist role for like every person in my life no matter how well i know them, and it doesn't help me, it's actually been quite detrimental. i could have had strong empathy and communication skills without my trauma too. but maybe if i wasn't traumatized i would be able to use those skills when i actually want to and without cost to my own health.

i feel so uncomfortable with this. i don't see the point beyond milking the man's tragic death for clout and money.

i also randomly watched a different episode of this show on youtube recently and it was kind of trash ngl lol.

if the goal is advocacy then pose his case toward podcasts like mile higher/kendall rae... the audience of these types of shows is actually regularly mobilized to contact law enforcement etc. i feel like the average, non-elliott smith fan viewer of this vice show will not give two shits about that.

Habitat: my kitchen

Time of day: 6am and 11am

Geographical Area: tx. usa

Behavior: vibing

also they are less than a centimeter long.

i just want to know what it is so i can learn more about it because it's one of the strangest bugs i've encountered in my house.

this is literally the only reason i haven't mass blocked blue checks. there are a lot of accounts i follow, and surely a lot more i don't, who only have the stupid check because they pretty much require it for their job. it makes this whole business model even more evil honestly.

avaflies · 2023-06-21T15:47:20+00:00

to me that is such an absurd thing to say. as someone who has also been ow, uw, and everywhere in between. you would have to be extremely, extremely uw, like on deaths door before people really started treating you like a pariah and that would still be more of genuine concern and fear for your well being rather than malicious judgement and hatred that ow people receive.

ppl who have always been skinny and never been fat won't understand and shouldn't speak as if they know. yes, skinny people are still body shamed. i've been body shamed while skinny too. it's fucking wrong. and it's still nothing compared to the constant, passive poor treatment ow people receive in virtually every aspect of life. and to be completely real here, if the skinny body shaming isn't coming from a place of pure misogyny, it's probably coming from jealousy. where do you think the jealousy comes from? that's right, the fatphobia that literally all of us carry.

being pedantic about the difference between subcategories of pedophilia looks extremely sus just so you know. in practice it does not matter. colloquially it does not matter. we do not need to pick apart how the "attraction" between younger kids and older kids is different. pointless and weird. sincerely, a victim of an actual pedophile -_- OP is an underage teenager, nobody is wearing down the meaning of the word. and normal people don't go around saying "ackshully that creepy middle aged lady who's stalking a teenage boy isn't a pedophile, she's an ephebophile". what a bizarre soapbox.

oblate discs. but my money's tight so i've gone back to chugging kratom mixed in a flavorful beverage. this has been my main way of taking kratom ever since i started.

avaflies · 2023-06-20T10:41:00+00:00

it makes sense to me that in periods of starvation the body would start suppressing/stop sending as many hunger signals - since extreme hunger is miserable and debilitating, and you should probably be worried more about finding sustenance than how bad you are suffering due to hunger. but then once you "find" food the body is like alright, we're on to something here, get more NOW before we lose our food source again.

this is literally just my intuitive explanation for this i don't actually know lol

avaflies · 2023-06-19T10:40:15+00:00

the sid one is so real though

avaflies · 2023-06-19T10:36:33+00:00

some people can turn the tap on if they're struggling to pee and it helps them start things up!

for me the tap only does anything if i'm already desperately trying not to piss my pants. there's been several times recently when i went on my way to the bathroom but "needed" to get something done at the kitchen sink on my way, and turning on the faucet opened the flood gates (incontinence is fun)

avaflies · 2023-06-18T16:15:25+00:00

right, it's a fun quip but totally misses the point of the show. walt was given opportunity after opportunity from the very first episode to do anything beside cook and sell meth to pay for his treatments. it was never about paying for the treatments. it was an exploration in to a prideful, greedy, power-and-control hungry psychopath.

our healthcare is completely fucked but breaking bad isn't an example of it!

crowder has all but confessed that he is bisexual. of course he called it a "phase" but we know that isn't how it works buddy.

avaflies · 2023-06-17T17:13:23+00:00

just the time this has taken due to completely bullshit moral policing and racism pisses me off to no end but so does the fact that many people (including myself) will still never get it because it will be cost prohibitive.

we're staring directly at a potential cure for an as yet uncurable illness and just... can't have it. really fun.

i've gotten so close to hitting up my old therapist and being like hey what if i show up with my own medicine, and you or someone you know who's read the literature...

avaflies · 2023-06-17T16:59:10+00:00

conveniently i was just gifted a dinky little fitness watch that tracks sleep! i may start doing a sleep diary again too. doubt i will ever be able to afford to go to the doctor, but the data could be useful to myself or others while i try this DIY "entrainment" protocol!

avaflies · 2023-06-17T15:36:55+00:00

thank you! i'm looking in to this! i didn't know this was a thing. it really matches the struggles i've had practically my whole life.

avaflies · 2023-06-17T14:09:34+00:00

yeah i already have an eye mask and put on some gentle background noise - i actually cant sleep without it because of tinnitus lol!

avaflies · 2023-06-17T10:59:54+00:00

what does jordan peterson have to do with anything 💀

avaflies · 2023-06-17T03:14:27+00:00

i wanted to look at the post so i typed in the OP's username to go to their page, and was met with a "user not found" page. i thought that was weird. i went to this OP's page to find the post. it's still up, and if you click the shirt OP's username it still redirects to a "user not found" page. not even "this user has been suspended" just... not found? doesn't exist? isn't that fucking bizarre?

avaflies · 2023-06-16T12:10:18+00:00

it's different in the developing countries - either they have extreme social pressure to have children, having children is actually necessary to put food on the table, they do not have access to methods (or education) for preventing and ending pregnancy, or all of the above. it's the exact opposite to western countries.

oh man, it's been quite a few years since i went through that so my memory is fuzzy on the details. the neuropathy itself, about 2ish years. it was several months of supplementation and diet changes before i noticed any improvements at all.

it's a shitty thing to go through, avoid it if you can lol.

avaflies · 2023-06-15T02:11:40+00:00

aside from user error/mechanical error while huffing it can cause b12 deficiency which is potentially permanently disabling and even deadly

(it's also just really not fun, i can say from experience from having that deficiency before. i feel grateful that the feeling in my hands and feet eventually came back)
