#you're misleading people

[kasumingo]

Got blocked by the OP of the diabetes post by saying that sugar IS considered one of the factors in type 2 diabetes 🥴

And it is super important to take it into consideration because eating refined sugar freely and drinking high fructose syrups and syrup-spiced drinks WILL fuck you up and potentially lead to life-threatening conditions in the long run

And that doesn’t mean cutting off sugar completely but be mindful what you put in your body lmao - you *do* need carbohydrates but carbohydrates do not mean white sugar and corn syrup - and your body can convert them from other sources AND healthier sugars

Feed yourself the best quality foods just like you’d your pets and loved ones

hey, so i need some advice on ao3 etiquette, and was hoping for your opinion -

i posted a fic recently and got a bunch of comments (nice problems and so on)

i'm wondering if answering all of them is like, 'in bad taste' ?

on one hand i want to let these 5-8 people know i'm happy they enjoyed the story,

on the other hand it maybe makes the fic look more popular than it is - which is maybe misleading ...

any thoughts?

Hi, anon!

Well, I try to answer every comment I get, because the person took their time to type it down and send it, and the least I can do is show my gratitude.

People sort their fics in all different ways: hits, kudos, comments; they make ridiculous ass formulas to count what's worth reading or not. If you try to fit into everyone's standard, you're gonna loose yourself. Like, so what if there's a lot of comments? What are people going to accuse you of, being kind? Please.

If you want to answer every comment, do so.

Very few things piss me off more than people using misinformation to support something I already agree with

Tbh I kind of hate those "NOT the same person. ARE the same person" Kingdom Hearts memes, not cause there's no humor to them but because most of the explanations for these things aren't actually that difficult, it's just possession or clones or spiritual connections most of the time, which are pretty common in fantasy stories (some of them like the Nobodies are kind of a can of worms but also not hard to understand in context and ANY fantasy story with multiple installments is going to have stuff like that), and yet people who aren't familiar with the series use these images all the time to support the running idea that Kingdom Hearts is like. Impossible to follow and makes no sense. Which I, of course, don't like because at its core it's just people calling a thing I like stupid. And I WILL take it too seriously because I have the kind of autism that makes you deranged about Kingdom Hearts

i already resent chewy for their constant packaging mistakes and overly aggressive marketing but it's really shitty of them to have a "highest quality food" button that takes you to all the heart disease causing foods instead of the actual highest quality ones that don't do that

Watching the projection polls for the BC election like

Are y'all okay out there

[thecindercrow]

seeing a post you have some notes on but not wanting to come off like an ass on someone's fun

[sigynsilica]

I'm beginning to think that if you have to google what a social cue is and when reading through the Wikipedia article on social cues you're like...

No. No. People can't actually do this. People can't look at a person and know that much about them. This can't be real. Someone hijacked Wiki again. This is fake.

MAYBE JUST MAYBE YOU DONT UNDERSTAND SOCIAL CUES AND YOU IN FACT ARE THE ONE WHO IS MISTOOKEN AND NOT WIKIPEDIA

im usually a very pro liberal blocking on the internet for no reason but I get so pissed off when ppl block me lmao. 90% sure I just got blocked for replying to a post that was very obviously AI art with "guys this is ai art" and got blocked + my reply removed. literally everyone who reblogged it was tagging it as fanart 😐

Wounded pride is a very dangerous thing. Whether you're a country or a politician.

A narrative of victimhood when you're actually in a position to do a lot of damage.

[snekdood]

you ever have some experiences w something and wanna be able to use it to help ppl who are in a similar situation but just like... dont know how? that's me with law of attraction shit .-.

[reblog-house]

Some people you agree with in theory honestly have no idea what they're talking about.

had to explain to a good friend that her hormonal regimen does NOT actually "chemically castrate" her. even tho her doctors said it would because state law demands they do so. it's fear-mongering and ass-covering and misleading and we all know laws surrounding medical care for trans people suck.

so let's break this down logically:

it only takes a handful of live sperm to impregnate someone. using round numbers for the sake of simplicity, let's say the average ejaculation has 100,000,000 live sperm (according to webMD the actual range is 200-300 million) and let's also pretend spiro reduces your fertility by 99%, which is like.... completely ridiculous, best case scenario for hormonal birth control taken extremely consistently.

1% of 100,000,000 is 1,000,000. so you'd still have 1,000,000 live sperm per ejaculation. so you'd still be fertile.

let's break this down sociologically:

if spiro worked as easily reversible birth control it'd be free in those mint bowls at good restaurants

long story short:

please use actual birth control methods if you're having mixed genital intercourse and dont want a baby! xoxo
