What are you dreaming about?

Last night I had led my father somewhere where I had to leave him because something was going after my kids.

I got them inside and had them lock up.

My son misunderstood and went back out.

I was yelling through the window to get him to come in just as the thing came up behind him and turned towards me I woke up.

Omg!!!!! How terrifying!

Ah, I hate that kind of dream too, where you know something bad is happening, but you can't do anything to stop what's going on.

Whenever I have a dream where people are in danger I always manage to save my fiancee but can never save anyone else, including myself.

Even when I realise it is a dream and have some control over it I still can't seem to save anyone but her.

That's interesting!

I would be absolutely fine with that happening. It's the inability to save the person I love that makes them terrible.

I'm in an awful mood.
I just want to hit things. Like, all I want to right now is find something that I can just pummel the hell out of because I'm so angry right now.

I always go for the pillow when I'm angry.

 

I hope you feel better soon.

Thank you. I'm feeling much better now than I was when I wrote that.

And it's funny: I actually did beat the hell out of my pillow and it made me feel better

I don't know why but it always works! Haha

Well, I suppose it is the perfect substitute for the face of a person you want to hit, and it does get all the angry energy out. That's how I see it.

But yeah, I was just really frustrated at people who think it's okay to fat-shame other people. It's nothing more than cruel, petty, high school-level bullying and I wish more people had the good sense to realize that. It's making assumptions about someone you don't even know based on how much they weigh, and that is more disgusting than someone who is overweight in my book. I just really, REALLY wanted to punch someone or something in the face, but I eventually settled on my pillow and that got a lot of the frustration out.

[Elfie]

I agree, but then assuming a blonde is dumb is just about the same, or a woman being inferior to a man. That black are criminals, and Asians are good at math.. I don't think it ok to make fun of other people, I think we all people and we need to treat each other with humanity.

The only overweight people that I hold any sort of disdain toward are the ones who do nothing to be healthy and bitch about thin/fit people being thin/fit, and the ones who wear their weight like a badge of honour and expect everyone to revere them for their pride.

 

That doesn't apply to anywhere near a majority of overweight people however, the ones that are just people are fine in my books.

I see what you're saying. It just angers me when people judge based on weight, because you never know if someone's trying or not, because you don't know that person. 

 

Honestly, Fat-shaming seems more likely to have the opposite effect to me: The more people go "You fucking fat piece of shit! You make everyone feel uncomfortable!" That type of talk seems more likely to make someone just go "What's the point if I'm going to be fat forever?" and make people depressed and unmotivated. Obese people already know they're fat and in some cases, already feel bad about it. I just don't see the point in rubbing it in even farther. I'd be fine with people trying to encourage other people to live better, but doing it in such a downright hurtful way seems like the worst possible way to go about it in my eyes.

It looks like the problem isn't fat shaming, it's douchebags.

The less you worry about the ramblings of small people the better off you will be.

Who gives a shit if some insecure prick makes fun of any aspect of anyone.

The fact that they manage to get you so riled up only means that they won, they got what they wanted.

Yeah, I know that I really shouldn't get so riled up over people being douchebags.

In comes Affray with another wisdom cluster bomb. Letting douchebags get to you is like letting the terrorists win.

 

DO YOU WANT THE TERRORISTS TO WIN?

Is this about that chick's YT video? She was a bitch.

 

I went through a phase where I thought like that. I'd look at subreddits like /r/fatlogic and thought despite the fact that I was overweight, I was so better than someone who was obese. Then I started noticing that when I saw someone large in the cafeteria, that this snobbishness would be in the back of my mind, and I didn't like it. Some time after I saw this video and now I can't stand that thought process and I forced myself to be a better person:

 

 

I hope she comes to the same conclusion some day and realizes the hatred that she's been spreading and how much she's hurt some people.
