  • Reminds me of my friend who wouldn’t go to the hospital immediately after getting hit in a rear end collision. He finally went a few days later when he started to lose feeling in his face and extremities. Turns out his neck was broken. Now he’s got brain damage and a lot of motor issues. But hey, he’s likely going to get paid from the insurance co. I told him to go straight to the hospital when he called about getting hit.


















  • One of my close friends from college went deep down the fat acceptance rabbit hole shortly after college. I had to unfollow her on social media. She went from being a slightly overweight girl to a morbidly obese woman. She had a podcast she’d promote saying things like it’s ok to eat cake for breakfast if you want it; weight is just a number and all kinds of asinine things.

    My weight has fluctuated over the years, but any time I’m putting on weight, I know it’s unhealthy and I need to start going to the gym and eating better. Seeing her posts would drive me up the wall. She had one where she said something about how the gym is toxic, and you’re just fine the way you are, and you can be healthy without exercising. She also was selling some plus size clothing pyramid scheme and claimed to be a model for the company. I don’t think it was a defense mechanism, just another ridiculously bad side effect of echo chambers on social media.
