@Usekh Yay? Mostly yay?

Well after all that serious stuff I feel shallow and trite, but fuck it. I fit into a size 8 now. I have one size 8 dress but now I fit into other size 8 things. This is a big deal! Yay!

@WTFE Holy hell dude. You still have and use a slide rule? Damn. It's pretty sweet with its case and everything. I kinda can't even mock you. Like, I have a bred in level of respect now.

I'm a very girlie girl but I can't paint my toe nails to save my life. I always make a mess and just have to let it all dry and scrub my toes. I usually get a pedicure but I haven't had the time. Why can't I do something as simple as paint my toes? Damnit.

@tragedyjones I'm sorry. I understand the hurt and the anger.

About the flag stuff...I like people flying them. White, black, Mexican, whatever, go ahead! Because then I know you're white trash and to be avoided. (And yes, people of other races proudly fly the confederate flag, I don't know why).

As requested by Cobalt, post your anger/irritations/rl peeves here.

@Wizz I knew it!!!

I keep trying to tell my kid she will never see snow here. She keeps asking if it's cold enough to snow. Bless her heart. I'll have to take her somewhere snowy so she doesn't end up like me at 20. I saw inches of snow for the first time in my life and thought it was a deadly blizzard.

And it largely depends on where the CEOs money comes from. A pay cut for the McDonalds CEO for example won't help a single fry cook. Those are not his employees. It's a lot more nuanced than most people want it to be.

I love Gumball soooooo much!

Elder Scrolls Online. So the best.

@Cobaltasaurus How is it supposed to be better here in Houston than there? That's crazy talk.

Or just go with a credit union.

If you have military family, USAA is legit. Or if you're near San Antonio.

@silentsophia USAA is totally free.

@BigDaddyAmin Welcome to my pity party. We don't have cookies but we have Quest bars which are awesome. Sometimes you just need a minute to feel sorry for yourself before you get it together to make shit better.

Place dissatisfaction is pretty major. It's not an easy fix. Here's to things getting better!

@BigDaddyAmin I don't know what you do, but Exxon and Shell are hiring out here like crazy. I want to say that Varco is expanding too.

My Reddit is ruined but Voat can't keep up. All my hater sanctuaries are messed up.

@mietze I'm going to the Korean spa in Dallas soon! God you're right, it's soooooooo amazing!! Getting scrubbed within an inch of your life by an ajumma in her underwear is magical.

As for the rest-
I loved fatpeoplehate. It was my daily motivation. I also enjoyed the hypocrisy of people trying to dox 'fatshamers' while freaking out when people posted public pictures that they themselves put online. Because that makes total sense.

I mean, yay let's celebrate censorship so long as it's censoring the people we don't like/disagree with. I've found people would put way more energy into trying to silence people than they will in showing love and acceptance to the targets.

@silentsophia Doxing and identification weren't allowed. Brigading wasn't allowed. Post calling for brigades got you banned. It's not hard to figure out what content came from another sub and what that sub was so users would get crazy. People got banned. Also, any form of calling someone fat on Reddit was instantly blamed on fatpeoplehate.

As for the hating on people losing weight, eh. Sorta. More like hating on 'I totally stayed under 2000 calories this week! Yay diet! Time for a cheat meal of half a cake!' Or 'I weighed 300 pounds, 2 months later I'm down to 295!' There are people who posted 'progress pics' one week and one pound into weight loss. One girl posted a before and after over .6 pounds lost. Look, I'm all about encouragement but holy shit. Do you want a medal? I can swing 2-3 pounds any given day and more than 5 from morning to night.

Am I saying its a super happy rainbow land of goodness? Fuck no. I have a few people on my Facebook from there though and they're the best. It also kept me from going postal on people. It's cathardic. I'm extremely bitter over the way I let others manipulate me. Is it healthy? Ffft. Nope. My doctor said it was a good thing for me though. A safe space to express myself with like minded individuals until I grew comfortable and confident enough to spread my wings and tell people firmly, yet politely, that they need to either be supportive or get the fuck out of my life.

Losing weight has lost me more friends than being outspoken about my feelings has, so it didn't even take getting confident enough to vocally disagree. How dare I lose weight. How rude is it that I refuse to eat your food, quietly and politely. Positively criminal that I'm not having a slice of your cake. Please, scold me because I ordered a kids meal with you IN PUBLIC, which seemed to embarrass you. The worst one was getting yelled at and then unfriended and shit talked behind my back because I lost weight on psych meds, with an underactive thyroid, celiacs, PCOS, and fibromyalgia. I got yelled at for having an illness and then told that I'm a liar because I couldn't possibly have anything wrong with me and lose weight. Oh, and I'm a vile bitch full of vitriol because I won't fuck someone who's really fat.

Let me reiterate that, I won't fuck someone I find unattractive and bad for me, so I'm a vile bitch.

So yeah, I laugh at the butthurt because if you're really happy being fat, you wouldn't be butthurt. You can change your weight and the fat people who compare fat 'discrimination' to racism are awful people and I don't feel even a little bad.

How many people play fat characters on a MU apart from comedy relief or a fetish? And of those, how many are over 300 pounds? 200 pounds even? Exactly.

Me personally? I don't really hate fat people. I hate fat activists and feeders. Telling someone it's healthy and ok to be morbidly obese is sick. Telling people it's literally impossible to lose weight is horrible. Viciously attacking anyone less fat than you is deploreable. Like I tell my friends, I love you and I won't watch you kill yourself with food. There's a point at which we can no longer be friends. I wouldn't watch my friends kill themselves with drugs, or cigarettes, and I won't do it with food either. I honestly think standing up for myself is perhaps the reason I'm no longer friends with Troy after I got into it with her mother over PCOS and weight loss.

@silentsophia I liked the makeup and skin ones before they drove me nuts lol

Not that I'd leave Texas for long but I'd like the option to live somewhere else if I wanted to. Being restricted to a handful of states because of SAD sucks. My options are Texas (I do love Texas so so much), Louisiana (I just can't), Arizona maybe, Florida, and California. I am so not rich enough for Cali and it's the only appealing option. I can't even move within Texas. Dallas gets snow, Austin is batshit, San Antonio is gross and I'd become a serial killer really quick on the inbetween bits. West Texas and the panhandle basically don't exist. Also, snow. Thanks brain. I love that you think snow should make me try to kill myself. Maybe I'd like to be a snow bunny but we'll never get to find out!

I don't think hating something people can absolutely change is remotely the same as racism. And someone saying something mean on the internet isn't close to lynching and violence.
