Oh so we’re finally talking about Noom? It’s about time!
Noom is actually so demonic and darksided and insidious. I had that cursed app for about 2-3 years. I eventually woke tf up when I noticed them coding things like avocados and potatoes as “red foods” and other important oils like olive oil and etc.
I should explain here that Noom uses this little color-coded system to make their encouragement of disordered eating look “cute”—making it easier to indoctrinate the masses with their fatphobic filth.
They don’t straight up call foods “good” or “bad”, but this colored system is not better, mainly because we all know the power of colors and what emotions they invoke in people. For Noom’s color, said colors are red, yellow, and green.
Per Women’s Health Magazine:

Red = most calorically dense/ least nutrient-dense foods
Green = calorically dense/most nutrient-dense foods
Yellow = the middle man

WHM adds that “30% of your intake should come from green foods, 45% from yellow foods, and 25% from red foods”.
Let me tell you why the whole system is fucked. They demonize “calorie-dense” foods by coding them as red, but foods RICH in things like polyunsaturated & monounsaturated fats are “calorie-dense” & yet they have been proven lower cholesterol and reduce the risk of heart disease.
Which is how you get things like avocados, olive oils, and mf NUTS demonized as “red foods” without any proper “nutritional” context.

So to be clear, Noom doesn’t even actually care about “health” like that.
Because if they did, they’d be taking into account what kind of nutrients certain foods hold versus focusing on calories. And let me say if I haven’t said it on here yet that calorie counting is a hallmark of disordered eating IDC!!!!!

People had issues with that friendship post because they’ve done that shit before. You can’t convince me otherwise.
I love me a good friends-to-lovers trope, but enough of us have seen/witnessed nice guy™️/not like the other girls™️ girl best friend content to know that people will corrupt that shit if given the right opportunity.
Also people just like to do weird smoke and mirrors shit with all kinds of relationships anyway. Some of y’all like that uncertainty and can’t fathom that other people hate that shit.

No because imagine her taking *all* her music and moving it to Tidal. It would be enough for me to abandon Spotify all together idc. I remember how pressed the latter was trying to get Lemonade on their platform.

You mean the same God who left his son on seen ✔️ at 4:00am when he was crying and throwing up in that garden???
Jesus: “Abba, Father, for you all things are possible; remove this cup from me; yet, not what I want, but what you want.”

God:
Confirmation that y’all be using that Bible as Kleenex and cottonelle toilet paper 😭!!! Haven’t read it a day in your life!!!

If it’s one thing a White woman will do she’s gonna weaponize her mental health against an entire community. But Ms Chandelier got another thing coming if she thinks folks don’t remember how vile she was to the disabled folks that challenged her on her shitty Music movie in 2020 ImageImageImageImage
This heifer was warned about Autism Speaks & their vendetta against the autism community. She didn’t listen

When an autistic actor checked her for her decision to cast an abled person in the star role (Maddie Ziegler), she sneered at them, suggesting that they were “a bad actor” ImageImage
She was downright nasty, & dare I say abusive, the autistic + disabled community and tbh, I don’t give a shit about her mental health. I’m not gonna let you sit here and evade personal responsibility because you didn’t think anyone would check you. I’m over White woman fragility.

This is the same institution that snubbed POSE—a show full of queer/trans Black people—in 2019. It is also the same institution that nominated Meghan McCain for an award that same cycle. And now they’re shoving Ms. Vag back in my face.
It’s precisely why I don’t care for these awards shows either. Y’all can get chucked in the trash with the Globes and them.
The “diversity and inclusion” pipeline is responsible for this 😭

Is there a particular reason Euphoria is moving away from the character-specific, single-narrative storytelling device it was using last season?
Because if episode two is a preview of the rest or the season, I’m may not finish. @Niggaolas, I fear you were onto something.
Not interested in a season focused on Mr. Fee-fi-fo-fum™️.
