all that work

for nothing

I don't know why people haven't realized, after centuries upon centuries of people trying to live off of "art," that very few people can do it successfully, hence the term "starving artist," and the VAST majority of those that do become successful(while alive, at least) are either privileged in a specific way(not in an identitarian sense, more like people praise Monet's painting of his view of "nature" when he specifically had gardens arranged by people he paid pittances to look as they did when he painted them until they looked the way he thought was perfect), were part of something much bigger than themselves and didn't even get the biggest piece of the pie(any non-independent musician, any Youtuber/Twitch streamer that makes most of their money off sponsorships and ad revenue, not direct contributions), heavily exploited the labor of others or flat out stole almost verbatim from others, or in very rare cases, just managed to strike it EXTREMELY lucky.

It's this simple: You work. You do something you enjoy separately. If you like what you do that you enjoy, you may choose to share it with others. If others like it and you can capitalize off of it, then you have to keep cranking out what people like to make money off of it, which often leads to you not liking doing it anymore, or keep working separately from doing what you enjoy.

Like, how ironic can you get that the people that declare themselves "Marxists" or "communists" or even "anti-capitalists" or "anarchists" don't fucking understand the labor theory of value, which is heavily associated with Marxian economics, that states objective labor - that being which is socially necessary for a society to not thrive or advance, but even exist - is intrinsically more valuable than subjective labor - that which is not necessary whatsoever for the existence of a society.

personally I believe that any given thing is exactly what it is, and is never in any way anything that it isn't.

man i despise walls of text

Was talking about Rob and people like him specifically, who essentially act like or flat out say they should be able to live off of whatever "art" they produce, regardless of what it is, "people > content," yada yada

Apologies. Over-explaining has become the norm after far too much time as a child and young adult being completely misunderstood due to not explaining ad nauseum a point I'm trying to convey.

well it's like they say at the docks, it takes a sail raiser to raise a sail, besides when it doesn't

Don't worry autism is a norm in this server

I don't believe in autism

As in I'm far from the only person not actually diagnosed as autistic?

either way autism would only be important to a doctor or something

what matters is the output, not what causes it

I definitely believe it exists, but it doesn't hinder me from doing anything, at least not to the extent of my diagnosis. I'm socially awkward as fuck, regardless of how much I try to integrate, I have tactile and sensory issues, some shit like that, but nothing that I'd ever use in the way that it could be played as a victim card.

Unless I have to look at bright lights, because I get migraines very easily from bright lights, but photosensitivity isn't uncommon in non-autistic people, so it's irrelevant.

But when you see fully grown adults that can't communicate almost whatsoever, even non-verbally, that don't understand how to use a toilet in their 30s, that pull out their hair and kick holes in the wall for what seems to be no reason, when it's THAT severe, it's either hard to deny the existence of it, or it needs a new name for the diagnosis.

I got adhd and dyslexia, docs say very well could be on the spectrum, would not surprise me, lots off corelations with other things I got

and yes this server has quite a few

gotta have a little 'tism to get anywhere in 2022

Then why do we go nowhere

not enough autism clearly

who fucking triggerwarnings their fucking weight loss

weight loss is actually not PC pika

its not body positive

TW: I am a fat fuck and I lost 20 pounds last summer

TW: I probably ate a pounds worth of chocolate and turkey yesterday

people get REALLY triggered if you talk about losing weight

I still love that they had to pivot away from trigger warning to content warning because they got mad that people kept making fun of them

What a bunch of fools, all pika had to do was switch from pounds to kg to feel lighter

I wonder how fat they are

said 60 pounds overweight

they they were told to lose 80 POUNDS

80*

OH

I misinterpreted that

holy shit you are right

so spooky, they are not mobile. They have a moterized chair

usually a doc will be like "yeah, you could stand to lose 20lbs"

like, even if you went in

I don't think a doctor would tell you to lose 80lbs (even though you could)

If I used either, I would post something in Rob's Discord with Trigger Warning(specifically written out, not just TW), and if someone said to use "Content Warning," I'd be like, "That's even more triggering for me, because it makes me think of when people are content > people, which triggers the absolute shakening of my core."

lmao

I currently float around 230-240, my max was 286(extremely high dosages of antipsychotics will cause you to balloon up if you drink nothing but water and eat nothing but lettuce); any doctor who actually went to school to the point they got an MD will tell you you need to cut from whatever you're eating to 1200 calories a day when you need to lose EIGHTY POUNDS.

That can cause a systemic shock if you're going from whatever caloric intake you're at to be 80 lbs overweight down to just 1200.

You'd get EXTREMELY sick VERY fast doing that.

They'd also recommend an exercise regimen you build up over time, but conveniently that's not mentioned. Wonder why. -_-

I mean my manager at work didn't want us discussing weight loss just because she had an eating disorder, it's more of a woman thinf

If I talked to her about my dieting and stuff she just would like, stop eating for a few days

Also nah 1200 cal/day isnt too harmful, tho I recommended 1400 because your body gets used to being in a starving state after a bit and you end up gaining weight very easily even at low calorie intakes

If you're eating 8k calories a day, and immediately go to 12-1400 calories a day, your body will be in absolute peril for a while. I don't know how much this person is eating, but when someone says "I love to eat and bake" and that they have "been stress eating for two years," it's probably an extremely high amount of calories per day.

I mean ig

If they only want to lose 80 then prob closer to 3500 tho

>I NEED TO LOSE WEIGHT

>I ATE 2 BIG BOWLS OF SOME SHIT

I was thinking that at first when I saw it and was going to post it, but if you look at the nutritional facts on the container in front, it's only 5 calories per serving, with only a few servings per jar.

nvm, misread, it said about 4 slices, not about 4 servings; says about 19 servings. Still, that's only 95 calories per jar, which is less calories than two Oreos.

Wait, I'm retarded

I like how thats not even a response to what you posted

"its dangerous to do this" "fasting exists"

I didn't look to see what the labels even were.

...

I saw lol

they want you to have an article off hand

lmfao

medical journals are, go have fun

I like how the mental health channel gets wiped every week

so literally everything you are saying will disappear and no one can look it up later

This is from the National Institute of Health. The question, with the line I circled, should be the answer to literally almost every question asked in that chat, but replace "dietician/physician" with whatever doctor is appropriate.

lol

Should I even address this by saying that it's called "breakfast" because the fasting period is the time that you're sleeping?

I just edited it into my message, not gonna @ them and bring it up separate

Isn't this like a few years ago when "misogynoir" was a buzz word(oh god, my spell check even recognizes it as a word, that's fucking awful), and there were black women yelling it everywhere but not explaining anything because it'd be "providing free mental/emotional labor" to those too lazy to "educate themselves"?

Like, couldn't I use that as an excuse and it'd be just as valid?
