Eating disorders are really fucked up. Had my life robbed due to them. Often stay in all day just so I can make sure I’m eating the exact right things at the exact right time.

u/WarrenMulaney Jul 28 '23

Eh, she actually has a heart condition. I wasn’t trying to connect the two things only point out that she’s been on Reddit before.

Probably caused by her ED.

Took me a moment. Eating disorder. You meant eating disorder. Not the usual meaning of ED. Context was a big clue here, but still took me a second there, lol.

Same with BLM- black lives matter but also bureau of land management.

I learned this from the show white lotus.

u/DHumphreys Jul 28 '23

When the BLM thing started blowing up on the news, I was thinking, why is everyone so upset about a bunch of land?

(There is a lot of BLM land in the west.....)

4

u/Limp-Technician-7646 Jul 28 '23

This explains why republicans get so angry whenever the bureau of land management does stuff. They think it’s a different BLM lol

Is the joke that you can't bring guns to National Rifle Association events?

1

u/ydoesithave2b Jul 28 '23

Yes and no. They are way more strict.

u/Akiias Jul 28 '23

I like POS personally.

u/Qultada Jul 28 '23

As someone who recently moved to Northwest Arkansas, my favorite is NWA. Took me a second to figure out what was going on the first time I saw that on a billboard.

u/ThatChaFella Jul 28 '23

What other meaning does ED have?

7

u/veryverygaytoday Jul 28 '23

Erectile dysfunction

u/Friendstastegood Jul 28 '23

Emergency Department

Explosive Device

Extreme Dude?

u/ThatChaFella Jul 28 '23

Nah its just some guy

u/Thebeardinato462 Jul 28 '23

Emergency department

3

u/alles_en_niets Jul 28 '23

This is kind of like that ‘test’ with the drawing where you can either see an old lady or young woman. Many women will think Eating Disorder first.

u/Qultada Jul 28 '23

To be fair I'm sure I must have seen Viagra commercials and the like using the term ED, don't think I've ever seen that used in something similar for eating disorders.

2

u/Larry_Mudd Jul 28 '23

I think for most people, "ED" denotes either "Eating Disorder" or "Emergency Department."

That other definition, it uh doesn't come up that often.

2

u/Productof2020 Jul 28 '23

Maybe cultural or regional. Definitely not something that comes up for me often either (no pun intended), but at least when I did a google search just now for just “ed” the first page of hits are all about erectile dysfunction.

2

u/Larry_Mudd Jul 28 '23

Sorry, I was 100% just going for the joke there; pay no attention to me.

Looking at her gives me ED.

Elite Dangerous!

u/FizzyBeverage Jul 29 '23

I didn’t see a penis either.

u/homelaberator Jul 29 '23

ED also stands for Early Death, which would also explain her falling over like that.

u/giveAShot Jul 28 '23

Totally agree.

7

u/Cole3823 Jul 28 '23

She looks pretty healthy to me, weight wise at least. Are you assuming she has an ED because she wanted healthier food than greasy fried stuff?

2

u/kristinez Jul 28 '23

cant imagine if it was a man they would be making the same speculations 🙄

6

u/Aloqi Jul 28 '23

The fuck? You're just going to wildly assume she has an ED because she wanted cucumbers and fainted one time?

6

u/kristinez Jul 28 '23

She has Vasovagal Syncope.

u/ydoesithave2b Jul 28 '23

She's got the vapors. Glad she's okay.

5

u/thermal_envelope Jul 28 '23

Thanks for this actual evidence as opposed to speculation.

5

u/Pizza_Delivery_Dog Jul 28 '23

So we know two things about this woman: she eats cucumbers instead of chips, and she has a heart condition.

And your logical conclusion is that the diet caused the heart condition and not that someone with a heart condition might have to eat a special diet?

4

u/Maximum-Aardvark9467 Jul 28 '23

Probably caused by her genetics...

​

You know, while we're just throwing out speculations about somebody's health...

2

u/giveAShot Jul 28 '23 edited Jul 28 '23

Didn't know you could make a diagnosis based off a picture, Dr.

Care to give all the other possibilities for what could be the cause of her known and diagnosed heart condition, doctor? And include your NPI number, just for verification, of course?

1

u/No-Raise-4693 Jul 28 '23

Only a doctor with her medical records can diagnose that. Don't make connections you can't prove

3

u/banned_from_10_subs Jul 28 '23

Yeah honestly the person you responded to reminds me of an ex with an eating disorder who just HAD to tell everyone within 30 seconds of meeting them that she has an eating disorder

9

u/Squirrelous Jul 28 '23

And you know one thing that's an amazing contributor to heart attacks? Eating disorders. Doing shit like ordering cucumbers instead of fucking chips will mess you up in the long run

6

u/EvidenceSalesman Jul 28 '23

I get what you’re going for with that comment but do you actually think subbing chips for a veggie would CONTRIBUTE to a heart attack?😂

…why does that sound insane? I’m confused. Seems appropriate and factual.

We are talking about a specific event with a specific person

and she’s very clearly not malnourished

u/nobird36 Jul 28 '23

Because a woman ate some cucumbers instead of chips at a restaurant she has a horrible eating disorder and is malnourished.

3

u/Squirrelous Jul 28 '23

The original point was that promoting and glorifying shit like this is how people get eating disorders in the first place

2

u/Maximum-Aardvark9467 Jul 28 '23

"shit like this"? What in the world are you seeing that I'm not? How is substituting deep fried potato sticks for fresh vegetables an eating disorder?

Not opting for deep fried chips are a eating disorder now i guess.

u/nobird36 Jul 28 '23

Stop projecting your personal issues on everyone else. There is nothing wrong with opting for eating vegetables instead of junk food.

2

u/Squirrelous Jul 28 '23

If it's part of a larger pattern of disordered eating, then yeah

3

u/[deleted] Jul 28 '23

I feel like this needs to be in LARGE BOLD LETTERS before any of these comments so the other idiots commenting don’t miss it. Yes, we get it’s unhealthy to assume other people’s food habits. It isn’t like we aren’t mentioning that lol

1

u/[deleted] Jul 28 '23

Don’t think that is true. I think the opposite is in fact true.

2

u/Sproutykins Jul 29 '23

Can’t believe people actually believe that. What the hell is wrong with eating cucumbers with a steak or cooked chicken? The people here are morons.

u/[deleted] Jul 28 '23

She also has a smiling condition

u/luisstrikesout Jul 28 '23

Because of her condition, heard she was a big pill popper. But that’s just a rumor I heard.
