if ur confused about why animal people advocate for keeping your pets at a "healthy weight" but sometimes also in the same breath will advocate against human diet culture, its because we know what body condition a cat is supposed to be at optimally. but literally there is not one for humans as far as we can tell.

humans are a weird, opportunistic, hyper-adaptable and variable primate and we have evolved to have a LOT of variety in size, shape, metabolism, and weight retention. this has been essential to survival in hard times and easy times. you know the thing people talk about sometimes how about half the population are night people and about half are morning people so we'd be better able to watch at night as a group? yeah, weight variation is like that: there's a lot of latent variation in human populations because as a community we survive significantly better if some of us are fuckin ready to not die during the longass winter of death and some of us can eat their weight in fish and then run a mile immediately after. this is also why some people gain muscle crazy fast and some people don't: muscle requires a lot of energy, so some people are built to gain a lot during a plentiful season and be really efficient then and some people are built to use less energy over time and be more useful during a long hungry period. cats and almost all other vertebrates simply don't have this kind of complex community variation built in, and tend to be much more uniform in build and weight. humans tend to be really variable in body and brain, and that's one of the biggest factors that's made us so successful! there are just a LOT of ways to be a human being.

all of the "science" on "ideal human body condition" we have at the moment is almost entirely bullshit and was done by white supremacists for eugenics purposes. it's just not something we know, and right now there's significantly more evidence that there is no ideal body type for everyone to reach. recent research indicates that humans are healthiest at a variety of weights and builds, and dieting is almost universally bad for you. even if the culture hasn't caught up yet.

Every time a story is like "this enlightened civilization solved war, scarcity, and disease but doing so only made life boring and meaningless because you need Suffering for anything to be worthwhile" I just wonder how they even made it that far with seemingly not even a concept of games or simulated conflict in general.

God forgive me for introducing "Mend asshole" and "slimefy socks" onto this war, because I know my enemies can't do it from hell.

Shit man, this wizard war is fucked. I just saw a guy clap his hands together and say "the ten hells" or some similar shit, and every one around him turned inside out, had their tibia explode and then disappeared. The camera didn't even go onto him, that's how common shit like this is. My ass is casting frostbite and level 2 poison. I think I just heard "power word:scrunch" two groups over. I gotta get the fuck outta here.

Ozai is so pathetic, like that “take his bending away haha he’s harmless now” trick would never have worked on Zuko, if you took his bending away he’d just grab his swords and come at you twice as hard, Azula doesn’t have swords or anything but she’s pretty good at hand to hand and amazing at talking her way out of problems, Iroh bust himself out of prison with no bending at all, meanwhile Ozai? Gets his bending taken away and then just collapses, doesn’t even try anymore, then just sits in prison and tries to get into Zuko’s head some more, he could have trained up and tried to break out too! But no! Bet he can’t break steel bars with his bare hands. Bet he can’t kick a steel lever in two. Bet he can’t even do a flip.

Also we never really see him do any really impressive firebending apart from when he has magic comet power, I guesss he shoots some lightning at Zuko, but that’s it and Azula is still better at the lightning thing. Azula has blue flames. Zuko can do firebreakdancing and bend with his swords. Does Ozai, who is not 14 years old, have blue flames? No he doesn’t.

He didn’t even do his coup himself, Ursa had to kill Azulon for him! Could have just challenged Iroh to an Agni Kai for the throne but he didn’t bc he knew he’d lose.

And then he only ruled for like 6 years! He lost a war that had been going on for 100 years bc of a bunch of kids.

Loserlord indeed

Word of mouth really kept me away from Scott Pilgrim for like a decade cause I was told it's this shitty book aimed at incels and he's a pedo and then I read it recently cause of the netflix anime and it's like "this guy sucks and all his friends barely tolerate him and he's trying to feel like a big man by leading on a 17 year old girl he's not actually interested in and everyone including the narrative acknowledges that that's pathetic and he should grow up. anyway let's explore how men see women as a means to their own self actualization but fail to acknowledge that they have lives of their own" like wow this is the book yall were talking about?

Not only that, but also

"JOIN TODAY, WE WILL SPREAD SO MUCH LOVE AND COMPASSION WITH OUR KNOW-ARMED-AND-DANGEROUS-TERRORIST-GROUP :))))))"

And

"Oh yes, the two things our anti-imperialist paramilitary group is known for: spreading joy and eating candy"

i love how garnet and pearl are just continuing to use the name of their infamous guerilla military organization while their current jobs are fighting lv4 rpg monsters and giving each other basket weaving seminars. and steven has no context for this and just thinks of "The Crystal Gems" as basically the name for his mom's side of the family. so he walks up to lapis and says "you should hang out with me and my treehouse friends, the Viet Cong!"

Fuck you all. I saw the this thread in response to a video of a couple laughing about their child bawling her fucking eyes out in the middle of the night because she awoke due to her mother screaming mid sex and when she came desperate to see what was going on she found a locked door. Now cut to some FUCKWITS going from this to saying:

-Oh yeah weird shit happens when you're a child, no way to avoid that haha

-I had no problem in discovering my parents having sex in a situation grossly different from that on the video so...man the fuck up I guess? The kid cannot act like she's five just cause she's five

-Your parents have sex, deal with it

-SOME PRINT OF A GDMM IDIOT SAYING THIS IS JUST LIKE WHEN HE SMUSHED AN AVOCADO DURING HIS CHILDHOOD AND HE COULD NOT STAND THE FRUIT FOR TWENTY. WHOLE. YEARS. AND THAT'S JUST LIFE THEN, TOUGH LUCK FOR EVERYONE ALIVE.

Now that I slept a full hour and processed what the fuck I read, the sheer depth of the stupidity of EVERY single argumment on that post pro fucking kids up baffles me. Like no shit edgelord, everything is new and weird and maybe scary THAT'S WHY THINGS ARE SLOWLY INTRODUCED AS WE AGE. You learn shapes before geometry, because you cannot possibly make sense of the later without shapes. You learn that people die someday, and ideally that happens before you accidentally watch someone be murdered in front of your eyes. AND when the order is inversed, we get a little thing called TRAUMA you absolute doorknob for brains of an idiot. That's the situation where you saw something that you had no logical or emotional tools to process, and now your brain is FuNkY until you work very hard on it.

Much like someone with 1/5 of a working brain and more than two days interacting with humans could say, would happen if when you're five - and peeing in a toilet is one of the scariest things if done to date - and you wake up in the middle of the night to the screams of the person who actually always helps YOU with the new scary things, and you can't even reach that person. Of course, with the added bonus of seeing her laughing at you when you finally reach her. This kid did not know sex, much less hardcore sex. Even violence is still something completely abstract to her (I'm NOT educating dipshits on child psychology to that extent, accept that children learn destruction before violence or go pick up a book, fuck you), and all of a sudden, she wakes up inside what she can probably only interpret as a nightmare.

There's a reason for having a whole tv trope of fucked up adults suddenly remembering they caught their parents on the act without further explanation.

This is also the reason porn fucks up pre teens so much in the head 99% of the cases. Their sexual development gets completely jumbled up because there's no rhyme or reason to the internet, much less to the pornographic industry.

"Oh yeah weird shit happens when you're a child, no way to avoid that haha"

Yes, like eating a bug or using ugly clothes that adults find cute. When you're mocked for thinking the person you love the most on the world is being brutally murdered in the next room because a pair of idiots COULD NOT fuck in silence or just hold it in their pants, that creates trauma for life. That's something to be avoided at all costs and the fact that it happened with so little regard for the child is the reason you call CPS anonymously everywhere on this planet (not because this IS a CPS situation, but bc illustrates so perfectly that having a child in no way, shape or form equates knowing how to raise one, caring and protecting It).

"I had no problem in discovering my parents having sex in a situation grossly different from that on the video so...man the fuck up I guess? The kid cannot act like she's five just cause she's five"

First of all, go die on a ditch. I cannot fanthom being this level of stupid whilst being able to read something as long as this, but I will say anyway that every case used as an example was not ten percent of the scenario on the video. And if someone pops up to say that to them it was, emottionaly speaking, congratulations, learn some fucking empathy then you fucking skinsack of child abuse.

"Your parents have sex, deal with it"

I could agree with you if you were not that thing that clings to the inside of sewage pipes, awakened to life and with access to internet. You can DEAL with that which you UNDERSTAND. A teenager acting yucky because their parents kissed or something is stupid and STILL TO BE EXPECTED. A child scared shitless because she does not know sex nor violence and cannot even UNDERSTAND whats going and therefore panics and cries IS ALSO JUST THE NORMAL FUCKING REACTION. What she needs is conforting, better parents and probably some therapy down the road.

And honestly, I cannot even begin with the avocado guy. First of all, obvious sensory issues there buddy, I'm honestly sorry no one took you to an avaliation. But also, you describe a situation that has 1/1000 of the complexity and psychological impact of what happens in the video, and explains how it took you TWENTY years to process that...and yet everyone should just act like nothing happened and let the child figure it out for herself? Man... It saddens me to think about how far back in the evolutionary history of human kind we would need to go back in order to find your peers.

And that's that. I wish I could continue forever on this site thinking that, except for the nazis, everyone here is cool and interesting and has at least two working braincells. But alas, reality makes a game out hunting out dreams.

One of the biggest “I love you”s in Fullmetal Alchemist are all the ways people respect each other’s bodily autonomy. There are two scenes that carry this theme to its fullest potential, and I love them so, so much.

The first one is quite iconic: Riza’s throat was slit and Roy has a chance to save her - by dooming their country and committing human transmutation. And Roy would do it. He would throw it all away just to save her, even though he knows that human transmutation is an unforgivable sin. But she looks at him and signals him to Not Do It. And he doesn’t. He wants to, but he doesn’t do it. Because only minutes earlier, he hurt her again by dooming himself (and potentially the country) with his fury.  And if there is one thing Roy Mustang doesn’t want to do, it’s hurt Riza Hawkeye any more than he already has. Even if that means watching her die. Even if that means letting her go.

He respects her and their goals enough to say no.

He loves her enough to let her die.

The second one is just as heart-wrenching: after Al sacrificed himself, basically dying in the process, Ed tries to think of a way to save him. Both Hohenheim and Ling offer him a Philosopher’s Stone to bring Al back - and Ed says No. Even though he wants nothing more in life than to save his little brother. Even though there is nothing he wants more desperately than the safety of Al. He says no for many reasons - Hohenheim is his father after all, Ling needs the stone to become Emperor - but mostly he says no because he and Al promised to never use a Stone for themselves. And he respects that. He puts Al’s wish above his own desire to see his little brother again. He respects Al’s decision (his own conviction) enough to break the rules of the world to find another way.

Because he loves Al - he loves him enough not to break the fundamentals of their principles. He loves him enough to respect the integrity of their believes.

And the narrative rewards both Roy and Edward for their choice to respect the agency and bodily autonomy of their loved ones - they survive, are saved, are brought back… and neither Ed nor Roy had to force their own desire for them to live on clearly stated last wishes.

So often we see media portray the disregard for bodily autonomy (especially in medical contexts) as a sign of love, the breaking of patient-doctor confidentiality as a sign of care, the violation of a living will as a sign of family - I like to think that Fullmetal Alchemist shows us that there’s strength in respecting it instead.
