I mean…empty calories ARE real, but people are most certainly misusing the term. AFAIK it's calories with no significant nutritional value *besides* the energy itself, i.e. pasta made from highly refined grains probably has little to no trace of the micronutrients found in the original wheat/its germ, so long as you're meeting your body's requirements for micronutrients though it does not matter how many "empty calories" you eat. Fat liberation does not require spreading misinformation.

"pasta only fills you up with empty calories" have you considered that it also fills me with love

Bumping this post as well as notifying everyone that the edit has been made to my own addition! You can find some resources on reporting both at the state and federal levels concerning your care or lack thereof. We need YOUR help to keep the medical profession safe, because these corporations will not.

Oh please do, we already pay these fuckers too much, and I know I will not be studying 10 years just to leave patients to die. My books are in my car right now, but I will edit this with more reporting resources when I can, hoping OP sees an easy recovery from here

"this too shall pass" well can it fucking get on with it

Absolutely, nurses have so much equipment and help that COULD be provided to them, the only way they'd get hurt is by doing things improperly or not getting the supplies they need for basic operation. Hoyers, standing lifts, mechanical beds, just having two more strong people, you can throw around up to 600 pounds with great effort. The weight you would need to be to hurt well-equipped nurses would not only be difficult to achieve and maintain, but hurt you a lot more than it could ever hurt us. Don't sweat it. Signed, a CNA in training.

Hey, sorry if this is a weird question but I'm trying to learn more since I honestly wasn't educated about fatphobia before and I'm trying to fix that (especially now that I won't be a teen in a few months and my mom could be considered fat and I love food so like we all know the body type I'll have in a few years). I often see people say that being fat is bad because people like firefighters and nurses get injured when saving/caring for them and I'd like to know if there's any way to like.. fix that? I obviously don't want very poorly compensated people risking their lives to get injured more than they have to but I also don't think policing people's bodies is right...

Hmmm where to start. The thing is nurses are understaffed, often asked to move patients by themselves when they shouldn't be. It's not just fat people that can injure a nurse, anyone who can't assist on their own lifting can. Lifting say, 180 pounds from the floor is risky, Hospital beds are closer to the average person waist plus there are handles and bars for the patient to assist. Rolling a patient in bed is difficult, again if the patient can't assist. Making sure staff is getting help is crucial. They wouldn't let me move myself from the bed I was on, onto the surgery table but it was quick and took three people to properly nest me and slide me over. (I was going in for gallbladder surgery) there were multiple people who could have assisted in the room if they needed more. So really, fighting under staffing and over working in the medical field is key.

Im not as familiar with fire fighting techniques however I know that there's an issue of businesses not having Evac Chairs or sleds for the physically disabled. I'm thinking of the brand Evac Chairs but ANY such device is useful.

Im looking at the sleds:

This goes up to 440

This one goes up to 500 carrying capacity!

These should be part of fire and rescue training and provided to the rescuers for public safety. Any business that sees a large amount of foot traffic should have these on site. (I don't expect a small mom and pop shop to have one, but Walmart should. Hospitals should.)

So basically: proper training, the right equipment and proper staff. These all play a role in how to circumvent awful situations.

Also take the consideration of what these people say "it's bad to be fat because nurses and fire fighters" these types of people are one bad turn from saying "it's bad to be in a wheelchair because it's too hard for fire rescue" or "it's bad to need nurses to turn you to prevent bed sores" they think, fundamentally, that fat people choose to be fat so we deserve less empathy. And even if it was 100% a choice for every person, it doesn't mean we don't deserve care and common sense accomedations. You can't say you respect bodily autonomy and support disability rights if your support is conditional. Only supporting "the good ones" is a policy in futility.

As an aside: check your smoke detectors and reduce fire hazards. Know your exits and keep low to the floor if there's smoke. Regardless of size people get real relaxed with fire safety because it's rare it's an issue. Some basic things is all you can do so please do them or have someone your trust to do them.

You don't vote in fascism and you can't vote out fascism. hitler was appointed by Hindenburg, the SDP president. mussolini was appointed by a high council in service of the king. franco won a civil war with the support of other fascists. tojo was selected by the incumbent military dictatorship under supervision of the emperor. How many of these actions involved a ballot box?

Did the 4 million strong Red Army that entered berlin vote hitler out in 1945? Was it the ballot box that ended franco's government or his death? Did the carnation revolution end Portugal's fascist government and colonial policy or was it the carnation ballot box? Did the american and soviet offensives in the pacific and china end japan's military dictatorship or did they vote on it?

During the short days of the weimar republic, there was the nazi party, the social democrats, and the communists. Time and time again, the social democrats sided with the nazis to persecute and destroy the communists. Time and time again they would cry to "vote for the moderate candidate or the nazis would get in power" and "we can push the country left just not now because of the nazis" until they voted in Hindenburg and he put fascism in charge. This is what I mean when I say you are already voting in fascism. One day, sooner or later, you will cast the ballot that puts 21st century blue american Hindenburg in the white house. And suddenly, the lack of organizing and agitating will hit you all at once and the most vulnerable and/or left-wing people who warned you about this get shipped off to camps and all you can do is slowly wait your turn on the trains. Only this time, there will be no Red Army to end the fascism which you have abetted.

QRB (QRT????), I wanna make an imsim my girlfriend has floating around in her head someday, it's gonna be a long journey but I absolutely have faith in myself to create a living piece of art with her. Would be cool I think if I could somehow release a modding kit with it and make it voxel-based too

I'm going to get back into coding after burning myself out between an intro class and a full time job because of this post, my time to learn an unreasonable amount of computer science to create cute women in minecraft is NOW!!

its so over. its never been more over than it is right now

i got this model from pont's post here. manually edited the skin to match our fursona through blockbench. in probably the most ineffectual way possible but i'm used to painting minecraft mods in 3d

I borrowed a lot of inspiration from both animation and comics for communicating movement here, a lot of the examples I looked up felt....weak? There's nothing really showing an intense fit of tremors/shakes that I found in quick searches and wanted to take it a little further.

A lot of comics are constrained by time and budget, so when I get to make something like this it makes me really happy that I at least got to come up with something Uncommon in parallel.

QRT because I want the post to exist on its lonesome, but I think the concept of being someone who is important or "matters" IS unimportant, but a lot of it is becoming cope at this point? I don't think people want to be important so much anymore as they want to have actual social connection and be important to a couple people. It's great advice if you're struggling with these anxieties and have a community around you, but for people chronically distanced and isolated, it enters a sort of mcmindfulness dimension where you're basically being told it's okay to exist alone and in the negative. Which is not great? This isn't an attack on the post, more of a meditation brought on by its presence. Hope everyone can find the sorts of love they need without too much struggle.
