#crash dieting

[tomorrowusa]

I'm not sure if there is a cure for Trumpnesia, but there are treatments.

This is what Trump was saying at CNBC the day after the first case of COVID-19 appeared in the US.

Trump dawdled while the virus spread throughout the US. He continued to claim it wasn't a big deal.

The spectacle of the Dow Jones plummeting on March 12th could jar a memory or two. It signaled the start of the Trump recession.

On the following day, Friday the 13th, Trump belatedly declared a state of emergency.

In April he held daily media events where he gave out bad medical advice. If he had been a doctor, that would have gotten him charged with malpractice. He first told viewers to take malaria medicine for COVID. [Malaria is a parasitic disease while COVID is a virus.] He then suggested that people stick UV lights up their butts. And he famously told people to drink bleach. This t-shirt was a reaction to that...

All that year he downplayed COVID-19 as the US death toll and infection rate skyrocketed.

It's true that the virus spread everywhere. But the United States had the highest death rate per million of any G7 country. Only Boris "Partygate" Johnson's UK came close.

Reminders of Trump's disastrous last year in office can temporarily keep Trumpnesia at bay. But frequent boosters are a necessity.

doing the "tokyo ghoul" diet

only coffee or tea for the next two weeks

this is a crash diet. i know this is not sustainable. i just wanna quickly loose some weight.

rules:

two cups of coffee a day

three cups of tea a day

water anytime a day

if i drink anymore cups of caffeine in a single day i would die of either anxiety or actual caffeine poisoning. doing this as someone who is lowkey sensitive to caffeine.

types of coffee: no sugar/sweeteners, americanos, black coffee, espresso shots, lattes* only with almond milk (or any lowest cal milk), hot or iced

types of tea: mint, matcha/green, any as long as it has no sweetener, could be herbal or caffeinated, hot or iced. no milk tea* unless they have plant based milk options, no toppings (sad ik), and no sweetener.

milk tea* and latte* rule: to only order these if gonna be hanging out with friends just to seem normal.

no energy drinks!

i personally do like black coffee/plain tea so this is gonna be easy taste wise. but definitely gonna make me feel like death after two days.

disclaimer: i only plan on drinking coffee/tea when ever i feel hungry as meal replacement, the amount of drinks per day i mention is a limit not a goal. i am not encouraging anyone to attempt this.

Hello,

I am probably being a mom about this (having been described as a mother hen even before I had my own kids), but I have a very different take to the two most recent gifs of Joseph Quinn I've been seeing today.

Both of them were at a film festival where he is very dapperly dressed in that cream suit with the black button down. I can't find the gifs right now, so you're going to have to hope I describe them well enough (writer power activate!)

The first one is of him standing with another man, older and taller than Joe. The man puts his arm around his shoulder and Joe makes this funny hand sign, like he was trying to do the horns and the peace sign at the same time and then just ends up awkwardly waving.

And everyone is going on about how cute and goofy that little wave was. But I think people missed the part where as soon as the other guy puts his arm around Joe, his arm holding his jacket immediately goes up and knocks the other guy off. Then you can see him go "oh shit" and he turns it into the awkward wave.

And for me it's that little "don't touch" move that makes the wave a little less cute and little bit more, "poor Joe!" Because he shouldn't have to turn him setting his boundaries into an awkward wave as to not get in trouble.

And the second one. Joe is talking to someone else but it doesn't seem like the person is a guest (the guy is wearing a t-shirt and shorts). He's got something in a wine glass that he is holding both casually and stiffly. And he appears to be upset and he's saying something like "that's just how I am" or something like that. Which I originally thought he was saying "that's not how I am" but the second word looks more "just" and the third looks more like "how" the more I'm watching it.

First off I don't like how the shot is framed. It looks like someone filmed it from angle where Joe didn't know they were filming him. Well, same for the other gif, too. Because in both he's not looking at the camera filming him. I get at events like this people are going to be filming all over the place, but these two both seem to have caught something they shouldn't have.

In the second one's case he looks like he's having an argument or something.

Now here's where I get really uncomfortable, because if this is after the awkward wave, this could be him complaining that he didn't want to be touched like that and "that's just how I am". Because if that's the case whoever is doing the filming of these caught Joe in the act of having his boundaries violated, by violating further those boundaries.

I don't know. I could be reading too much into it. Projecting my own feeling on him. But it does look like that to me. And this isn't me saying "oh you can't find it cute!" because I'm not. I'm just saying he doesn't look comfortable and we should examine why.

And since this already too fucking long, I'm going throw in another Joseph Quinn problem I have.

How different he looks from Eddie Munson to his other roles or just in general. I can't find the article now (shakes fist), but Joe talked about how on Stranger Things he dropped 10 kilos or 22lbs to play Eddie so he looked younger and was more sinewy. That he fasted, gave up carbs and had one coffee a day to look the way he does in season 4.

Like actors shouldn't have to do that shit for roles. Isn't there a healthier way to do that? So when that one picture popped up today of Joe looking into the camera I saw someone tag (could have been @vecnuthy) that it looked edited in some way. But it was the most Eddie like I'd seen him look since the show dropped. And if it wasn't edited that means that he dropped those 20lbs again.

And of course I hope that means Eddie's back but even if it is or it's for another role, I hate how thin he looks in that picture (and I love his "slutty Eddie waist") means he's crash dieting and that makes me sad.

Sorry about this. Just...ignore me I guess. But I don't think we talk enough about how actors go through this shit as much as actresses do just in different ways.

Aww, they're friends 😌

Nate finally has a buddy to be a boring, almost 30-year-old man with! they can go fishing and talk about the wonders of sliced bread and modern television.

I suppose the version for “men” replaces wine with whiskey?

next month I'm going ham with leafy greens and if that doesn't work I'm going to have to try eating red meat again 🥲

Imma say it, I really REALLY hope they didn't make Bill go through like a massive health change to look as scrawny as he does for the reboot the way Hollywood shoves actors in hero roles to suffer from dehydration to get their bodies in top physical condition to look like buff superheroes

[funpuddle]

For real if you view your sugary premade smoothies and drive thru ice coffees as Concentrates to add milk or water to they will;

Last longer

Be healthier

Be worth your money (subjective)

Taste NORMAL

I couldn't sleep but I have Shit To Do Today that I can't risk missing so I am mainlining caffeine. it's 10:30am and my chest is full of hummingbirds. This is maybe fine

[dippyface]

anyway in 2020 I had pain in my side and brother. that is what I am here for today. the literal same health issue that has been worsening the whole time. 4 years of testing and testing and testing and them being like "anyway..... kys fat"

they ordered a HIDA scan and I was like oh sure totally totally. had one or two of those before
