The Fat Thread lives!

I never tire of people who's lives are so loving empty that they've made being fat a whole identity that completely and utterly messes them up until it kills them. Plus that part of "ow my body hurts but FAT RULES" is some true broke brain poo poo that I can't ever quite get my head around. I get spite a whole lot but the complete inability to see that the only person their spite is hurting is themselves is ....I don't know. It's like reading posts from some aliens.

Yeah this sounds like a setup from someone who has gained a lot of weight quickly and feels terrible about it but also refuses to examine those feelings and instead looks for ways to use it to make herself feel better instead of addressing the root cause.

If you're a horrible lovely person this sounds like a great way to score internet points with all of your new community (in this case whatever size-acceptance community this woman and her friend are part of):
I watched this all play out in real time when the queen bee of the local....idk what they opt to call themselves but I'm gonna call them weirdo nerds gained a lot of weight after quitting her stripper job.

I mean that alone is a story, but anyway.

This woman who made it a point to say she won't sleep with fat people suddenly was all about that HAES and how awful society is to fat people women. You'd think this woman had been large her whole life given how prosecuted she suddenly was. Made for great theater when this group tried to get my friend to go along with them. She promptly called them all out in how they were attempting to damage her health as being fat exasperated her other problems and she knows she needs to lose weight. Having one of their own yell back at them sent them into a fury, thankfully this bitch doesn't take poo poo from anyone so all she did was laugh in their face.

To the shock of no one this crowd has basically ate itself as everyone tried to out woke each other. None of them want to work to see change, just broke brains screaming into the abyss.

I am sure it happens outside of reddit but the only vaguely successful threesome I ever heard was from some old college friends, had a bisexual male couple with a bi girl, and she kinda took charge of the entire endeavor and made sure everyone was involved, and no one sat things out unless they wanted a breather. It wasn't "hahaha I am loving your boyfriend" but more "WE are loving the dude." But they were also really loving open about the entire thing in the LGBTQ club, which makes me wonder if they were fishing for more couples.

It takes such specific people and/or a limited relationship for the space not to have to care long term that it leaves it to something you luck into or spend shared time working at. It's almost always messed up cause someone's being dragged into it for lots of bad reasons.

You can choose the Climb Over People seat or the Get Climbed Over seat, there is no Get Climbed Over Maybe Once Or Twice Very Politely And Conveniently seat. You don't have to fly very often to figure out that some people go to the bathroom on planes once an hour or more and if you don't want to have to deal with that there is an easy fix.

This is a valid point given that OP is presumably living at home for financial reasons so completely torching that bridge might not be a smart move (yet).

Maybe the good first step here is to not just "lie about her schedule" but *actually* modify her schedule so she's practically never at home. Buy some headphones and a lunchbox, start packing your lunch, sprint out of the house as early as possible every morning, then come home as late as possible every night - even to the extent of things like "well, normally I'd go home and watch Netflix in the evenings but now I do that at the computer lab", "all my studying happens at the library rather than my room", sign up for some clubs or something, etc. And if there's a close friend or two who doesn't mind if you crash on their couch, maybe consider randomly doing that too just to further emphasize that nope, can't just assume Jenny will be home to be your sitter.

How passive are you?

Yes let's make my life even more convoluted and prevent myself from having any personal time because I can't tell my family No. The gently caress.

MagusofStars posted:

The dad who texted her while she was in the bathroom to say “yo, the kids are asleep in your room, your problem now” and the sister who gave zero fucks about leaving them there even when OP had an exam...not really people who are going to listen when she says no. Instead, they’ll just ignore her no matter what she says and continue to dump the kids on her.

And the idea of just call the police or CPS only works if she plans on moving out ASAP. If she’s living at home in college and working a job (per her post), it’s very likely because she can’t afford to do otherwise. So getting kicked out of the house for calling the cops or CPS on her sister isn’t a viable option.

If she was in a place where she could afford to tell them gently caress off and if you don’t like it, see ya...then hell yeah, take that option. But as she’s described her situation, I’m really doubting that’s the case.

Mmhmm. And the mostly passive nature they've shown to this point has only exasperated everything and why I'm tilting my head at the both of you. Getting a job and exiting that way will both do what you're saying and create a path out. Faking busy is useless.

Nothing is gained from doing anything but tearing the situation down, even at some personal cost.

you really do have to remember we are getting a particular view of things and it is thankfully not any sort of indication of anything on a population level.

Yeah something like "consider it an early/late birthday present," or "someone recently helped me out and I'm paying it forward," or even something super vague like "I'll let you get me next time," anything in the world but "no thanks you're too poor."

They ought to teach tact in school. It'd be super helpful for people with warmth in their hearts and feet in their mouths
My lack of tact hasn't stopped me from being able to help people out with simple "I have this to spare, you don't , take it" type speech. While everyone's right that being completely blunt about it is rarely going to go well there's an equal sucking up of stupid emotional human pride that has to be done on the receiving side. Most people don't want to have to tell that to someone in a rough spot and then the hand wringing begins over the minor issue in face of the larger issue.

Guess I'm saying all this cause while people have tried to get huffy when I'm telling them STFU and take the help they are happier in the end for it. I swear some people just have to do the dumb dance to get over whatever.
