  • Tbh I wish instead of just telling you that you’re fat, parental and guardian figures would discuss, address the underlying issues, and help develop a plan to resolve them with you. Getting told I was getting fat as a kid didn’t really do much for me beyond closing me off from avenues I could’ve used to resolve the issue (such as feeling too much body shame to participate in P.E. / etc).






  • With stuff like this dude, nobody can tell you if the end result will be desirable. You just have to create for the sake of creating what you want to make, and release it into the world. If it doesn’t do well, take the feedback on why and improve, or halt doing it, depending on what you’d prefer.



  • And robocallers/spam callers would rather get rid of bans on automated call systems and enforcement of Do Not Call lists. Doesn’t mean we have to do what they want, and it would be an extremely ineffective argument to argue for a ban on phones or even just a ban on automated call systems connected to phones. Both are tools with extremely legitimate use cases that can and have been exploited for malicious and unethical means. Welcome to the complexity of modern living. I see you as an ally, but I warn that we’ll need to be specific in our language and our desires in order to shape the discussion properly, else you’ll just end up categorized with the “nutjobs wanting to ban phones” (embellished simile I’m using to give you an example in a different context) and you’re going to lose a lot of momentum from the legitimately ethical people who are on your side.
