I'm overweight and recognise it's a problem, which is why I've been losing weight and trying to cut down on food

I know that smoking kills but that doesn't stop me from smoking but it does stop me from promoting it as a healthy way of life and to critize me is a hate crime.

Good for you mate. Keep at it.

People wishing to be accepted for endangering their health is a slippery slope, and two years ago I would have laughed at myself for saying that but on tumblr there's a community who actively promote having rabies

https://www.tumblr.com/tagged/rabies-pride

Dunno if this has been talked about before but WOW

What the fuck?

How is that so common that there's a community backing it?

This must be something like the blue whale challage or something.

It started as a parody/meme and now some people are apparently genuinely "rabiosexual"

What do they do? Brush their teeth rigorously until the foam comes out?

No, they genuinely try and contract rabies

What I've liked seeing the last few days is all the fat-activists people saying "HOW IS HAVING AN OBESE WOMAN JUST STANDING ON THE COVER OF VOGUE GLAMORIZING OBESITY?" despite them in the past constantly saying that having thin women on covers is doing that

Nonsense. people are crazy right now but not that crazy.

Eh natural selection. too bad health carewill protect them

OK, but rabies is actually super fucking terrifying. It's actually fairly common in the wild with like 1/20 bats tested being shown to carry it, and by the time symptoms show up you're fuckind ded.

More than that it's a slow awful death.

^^^

Yeah I know that

Blease don't shame bats. Just because someone is foaming at the mouth doesn't mean they're not beautiful

But somethings really wrong if theres people fetishizing it

You slowly start losing your mind as your brain deteriorates and you're reduced to your more base instincts causing constant paranoia, fear, and being easily startled by simple things like footsteps and lights turning on. And you're not able to understand what's happening either by that point because your brain is so fucked

And I dont mean people making anime versions of diseases

And incurable

Genuinely I see some people and I'm just like "wow"

Ebola chan was too pure for this world tbh.

Well so was tay chan

Recent years have helped me mature a lot because I realised just because some people are hopeless/lost causes, it doesn't mean there's no hope

Eh its easier for people to pretend they dont need effort if it wont mean anything

eventually you'll take the ironpill and realize everyone is a lost cause

dab

Lol that's stupid, I thought I was a lost cause and then I realised I didn't wanna be, so now I'm not

Self-defeating ideologies are, well, self-defeating

And are often the overarching reason one stays in their situation

gotta dab on that self-doubt epic style

It's like, hey, we live in a safe society, but we can't let our survival instinct die, because our threats just look different

yeah

we live in a society

Still, its a self defeating feeling.

Why should I bother putting in any effort if I think I am ultimely worthless.
