  • everybody drops weight from different places first. my butt is the first thing to go (evidenced by my pants getting baggier at my butt but not anywhere else, hooray!) but nothing comes off my hips/waist, so i'm still basically in the same pants i was in 27 pounds ago only with a saggier, sadder butt. it feels like that…

  • humans are gross oily sulfurous eggfart stench factories. point to anyone in a crowd and at some point they have made someone else uncomfortable with a questionable fragrance that they are emitting. it's an unspoken covenant of humanity: you deal with the smells brought upon you, so that others may also deal with the…

  • i ate an entire bag of honey mustard pretzel pieces today (~1700 for the whole thing) and i don't even have the excuse of having a stressful job. i did it because honey mustard pretzel pieces are delicious and i haven't binged in about six months. no regrets. i diligently logged it in, got my array of sad red numbers, saw…
