'fun' fact: you can starve to death and be fat the entire time. this piece of information saved my life, so i'd like to share it as widely as possible.

there's a common misconception that starvation will necessarily make you emaciated, and that if someone is fat they must be getting enough to eat, or an excessive amount.

this just isn't true. fat is an organ, not an inert storage of 'excess' calories. the old idea that gaining weight is caused by taking in more calories than your body needs, and its corollary that reducing caloric intake will automatically result in weight loss, is simply not true. the human metabolism is just way more complex than that.

one thing that can commonly happen is that, faced with repeated or long term caloric deficit, the body chooses to prioritize fat accumulation over other things in hopes of assuring survival. this can occur due to food insecurity, eating disorders, illness, dieting, or other factors.

caloric deficit can sometimes cause weight loss, certainly. but not in everyone, and not in the long term. 95% of dieters, for example, regain the lost weight and often more in addition. the science overwhelmingly supports this, including studies created by people who were trying to find long term weight loss methods. intentional weight loss is impossible in the long term in most cases, and the methods people use to attempt it are harmful to their health.

so yeah. whether due to anorexia, food insecurity, illness, or anything else - a person can be starving and still fat. or become fat(ter) due to repeated or ongoing caloric deficit, or both.

you can be fat and need a feeding tube, though medical fatphobia often makes medical professionals insist otherwise, to fat people's detriment or death. people can starve to death while fat.

i love you achievement hunter post team

Idk how many RoosterTeeth fans are on Tumblr, but watching the final livestream rn I'm getting so emotional. This company is what got me into video games, got me interested in the entertainment business, was the catalyst for my brother and I connecting as teens, helped me make friends in college, and made me into (I would like to think) a compassionate adult. Most importantly, I can now spell achievement correctly... most of the time.

I know they've had their rough patches, but there are so many wonderful creative people at RT who I wish the best in their future projects <3

Gonna be real with y'all, I think it's a dumb move to put the DB podcast behind a paywall. Like podcasts are usually excellent ways to introduce people to the creators and their vibes, and now you've taken that away for a channel that just started. Also, what if there's important news tucked away in this FIRST only podcast?? Ain't nobody gonna know until like a month later when they announce it on Twitter. Unless someone with a FIRST membership shares it with the world. It's justttt fucking messy man 😮‍💨
