I’m sorry I’m afraid it’s terminal.

Chronic pain sufferers: ‘Are we stupid? Why didn’t we think about that.’

Weird how genetics is left out of this.

Fuck me for having PCOS I guess.

Chronically ill people seeing this meme: ‘Am I a joke to you?’

Let me introduce you to the concept of chronic illness and pain.

Chronically ill people are in the same boat. Doctors won’t believe them because their symptoms cannot be measured. Friends alienate them because they don’t have the spoons to live up to expectations. Family keeps telling them to just think positive thoughts. Everyone tells them they are sick because they aren’t exercising and dieting enough.

All while you are in perpetual pain, nausea, fatigue, and overstimulation from so many new ways you learn your body can suffer.

I wholly agree that beyond just sustainability, the reduction of suffering for animals is in the heart of veganism.

That being said, it’s not the most effective argument to sway us meat eaters. When people think of animal suffering, it brings shame and guilt and makes some people defensive. This is why some people hate vegans, because it’s a reflection of their own inadequacies. They revel at finding proselytizing vegans to pull apart because it lets them tell the world ‘See? This is what all vegans are like. I’m not like that and therefore I am a good person.’

Self-interest is the easiest way to goad people into thinking about veganism without hurting any egos. If you rephrase veganism as a matter of self-preservation and not a moral issue, people are more open to that.

It’s much easier to make the world eat 10% less meat than make 10% of everyone a vegan. Veganism for all isn’t the answer yet, because human incentives don’t work that way. Instead of promoting veganism, it’s much more achievable to ask people to do things like meatless Mondays.

Can we revoke citizenship and deport the other 25%?

If you’d stop making hating vegans your entire personality the rest us normal meat eaters wouldn’t have to clarify how we aren’t one of you.

I eat meat and you’re being a twat.

Veganism is a good cause and we can all learn a thing or two about sustainability from them. Stop acting like they’re out here to take your oh-so-precious meat away from you. Eat a vegetable or two so you can get that turd out of your ass.

Nobel piss prize.

CUP SIZE IS RELATIVE TO BAND SIZE.

I need every man here to stop talking about ‘D cups’ for side like it means anything. It sounds as stupid as saying ‘100 moneys is a lot of money’ without stating the currency.

Here is a chart of sister sizes. Every row is the same volume, meaning that a 40A, 36C, and 30E are the same volume, just different shapes.

Now, it is true that it’s harder to buy nicer looking bras for d-cups and above, but that’s because big bra has been pushing for bra conformity for decades and shoving women into a narrow range of sister sizes at sleazy stores like victoria secret so that they don’t have to make a larger variety of sizes. The result is that women who want a bra that fits have to pay a premium, and bras are expensive as is.

Bras are not just clothing, for many women there is a medical need for one due to back pain and other conditions. Yet, the bra industry cares more about the sales volumes of their 36Cs than the fact that half the women wearing them are likely wearing the wrong size.

Most women have long hair. Long here requires more maintenance. It’s that simple.

Stop making pseudoscientific excuses about chemicals to reinforce your own views on gender.

It’s normal to pee. It’s not normal to pee 200 times a day.

Apply that to any ADHD symptom and you’ll understand.

Girls used to be 16x less likely than boys to be diagnosed, now only 3x less likely, because traditional ADHD criteria excluded girls and women from their studies. Girls are sociallized differently and thus present different symptoms. Girls are also more heavily penalized for typical ADHD symptoms and are forced to learn to mask better.

A lot of the backlash against women speaking about their ADHD symptoms on social media is due to misogyny and gatekeeping. When women present their experiences, it’s often seen as attention seeking behavior and not treated as an account of how the medical system has once again failed women.

There’s an unspoken racial element to the removal of gas stoves.

If you need to cook with a wok for 15 minutes or char some peppers, you’re destroying the environment. But if you need to run an electric oven for an hour to bake a pie or casserole and create 10x the carbon footprint, you’re saving the environment.

And no, woks don’t work as well on induction, unless you have those spherical induction stoves that aren’t available outside of China. And an oven broiler is no where as good for charring peppers.

Edit: Love it when people who don’t even own a wok will try to explain your own ethnic cuisine to you, whitewash the kitchen, and then pretend to be concerned about your health when it’s always been about control.

I’m from Hong Kong, which statistically has the longest lifespan in the world. We use gas stoves just fine. Stop pretending that it’s anything other than the lack of universal healthcare that’s killing you.

For all intensive purposes, the meaning of words matters less than how we use it. Irregardless of how we decimate it’s meaning, so long as we get the point across there is no need to nip it in the butt. Most people could care less.

The idea that trans people only need trans rights in gender affirming care, legal recognition, non-discrimination in workplaces and housing rentals etc, but not basic human needs like food, housing, general healthcare too is how many liberals have been shirking themselves of social responsibilities by dressing themselves in identity politics.

‘I support trans rights but I draw the line at universal access to food, housing, healthcare, and education’ is a denial of basic needs to trans people too. Trans people should be part of the challenges to society because they deserve access to basic human needs just as much as everyone else.

This privileged CEO thinks what she does is ‘work’ when she never as to work a day in customer service.

I’m afraid AI written books are being published and put into library shelves too.

Women: socialized from a young age to uphold beauty standards or else be treated worse for being ‘ugly’

Men: 6 in 1 shampoo go brrr

What if instead of treating people at an arbitrary age as ‘adults’ as if their age and maturity grants them freedom that absolves everyone else’s concern for their wellbeing, we treat everyone like people who are deserving of basic necessities and help, no matter their age and circumstances?
