Flame Free Confession III: Even More Flame Free (Part 2)

I will never tell. :shushing_face:

I’ve fucking had it with vets. Have a cat which was fur mowing till both flanks were completely bald. Did this for 2 years. Went to multiple vets. Did testing for mites. Given spot treatment for mites even though there were no mites. Anti-fungal shampoo even though there was no sign of it under a blacklight. Lime sulphur dips. Anti-histamines. Steroids. Bloodwork. Hypoallergenic food at fucking $60 bucks for 2kg.

And… get this… TESTED FOR HYPERTHYROIDISM. The fucker’s almost overweight and sleeps like a bum.

Then all of them said it was ā€œstressā€. Asked them about environmental factors multiple times. It looked OBVIOUS. Flanks, ass, belly, parts of legs that take the pressure when in contact with surfaces, base of tail. Said it was unlikely as long as we kept the place clean and dust free. Pushed the buck back to me after taking hundreds of bucks from me.

Stress…

ā€œDo your cats get along?ā€ ā€œAny changes in the home?ā€ ā€œDid you replace any furniture?ā€ "Is your household frequently noisy? ā€œHow often do you tap dance naked in front of them?ā€

3 fucking Feliway diffusers in different places for months. Stopped it all 6 months ago. Didn’t work.

Stress doesn’t fucking make you suddenly jerk and chew on an area all the time without any form of provocation. Motherfucking common sense. Told this to them. Disregarded it. Sooner or later they’d probably have told me it’s a ā€œcutterā€ and prescribed Billy Corgan’s greatest hits.

Switched to steam cleaning over a month ago. All it’s fur grew back. ALL OF IT. Turns out it was allergic to chemicals in normal floor cleaners. The ultra mild shit you use when you have kids crawling all over the place.

FUCK.

This has to be my favourite one. What is it with people assuming that you only get good gainz when you start training and that as you get old or your gainz have run out, like you have a predetermined amount.

Breakfast for gaining

If you can see the plate, you’re doing it wrong.

For noting, I can’t say I’m not disappointed that the Wednesday breakfast wasn’t arranged so there were two eggs on either side of one end of the cucumber

You read my mind about the cucumber :joy:

Welcome back!

People? I think you mean beta bitch dudes. This is why us mere mortals are ā€œburned down onlineā€ (not my words…) by greater beings.

I confess the 4th of July red, white, and blue triple stuffed Oreos with Pop Rocks in the icing are completely worth whatever fat gain they may cause me. So far the triple stuffed-ness makes me feel shitty after just 3, so I haven’t binged. Just use them as post-workout carbs.

I confess I set up a July 4th cooking livestream with some classmates just to avoid having dinner with the family friend and the likely resulting debauchery

I also confess I’ve been spending WAYY too much time on discord instead of reading papers like I’m supposed to

Pop Rocks? I feel like there’s too much going on when you begin adding those in, haha.

mouthfeel!
The pop helps cut through the triple filling

Pop rocks are truly something that spoil a dessert for me

Jesus Christ. Some dude asking about neurotypes wants to study Traditional Chinese Medicine and brought up Poliquin and Chinese elements and shit.

I wasn’t born with enough middle fingers…

TCM is NONSENSE. PURE NONSENSE. Do not ever buy into that shit. It’s like Western ā€œholisticā€ medicine nonsense but people here still take it seriously because lots of us couldn’t afford real medical treatment just a couple of decades ago.

And endorsement from the President of China for POLITICAL REASONS.

Fucking shit, the CCP claimed they cured irreversible brain damage through TCM after ā€œWestern methodsā€ failed 20 years ago when a popular news anchor had a terrible accident.

It was broadcast so widely at the time it made international news, or at least regional ones. But we never saw her appear again after that despite the ā€œfactā€ that she was ā€œcuredā€. Anywhere.

FFS, at least get someone healthy, fake the ā€œbrain damageā€ FIRST and THEN let the ā€œcured patientā€ show up in public AFTER ā€œtreatmentā€. But no, they didn’t even fucking bother to at that time. No internet. Centralized, government owned and controlled press. Also, I guess no one had seen how faith healers in the West do their shit yet.

If these things worked as well as the purported claims, I’d be nine feet tall and bullet proof.
