I really suck at knowing when I'm being trolled. I'm not the one in the screenshot but I'm in the thread. This comment was just particularly egregious.

It's the dunk tank.
This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.
Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.
Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.
Rule 3: No sectarianism.
Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome
Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)
Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.
Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.
Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml
Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again

It's classic social darwinism, these people would have agreed with Nazi propaganda about wasting funds on disabled people. I've heard that stereotype about candy, I wonder if there really is any difference versus the average. When having issues with emotional regulation I find myself consuming tons of sugar and wanting to smoke a ton of weed, I could see the drive for drug-use and candy consumption having similar causes.
People just cannot properly empathize with others in these states if they haven't experienced them, like severe drug addiction or malnutrition. One of the big things they focus on during in-patient treatment for acute emotional or psychological distress is eating well. Even if people are getting enough calories, I wonder how their mental health is being affective by lack of certain nutrients that the brain uses. The majority of people in the US at least probably don't have very balanced diets.
Most days I eat barely 1,000 calories. Once or twice a week maybe, I eat a decent meal, and this keeps me from dying/actually starving. Instead I live in this purgatory where I’m mentally fucked off, my skin and hair are gross and fucked off, etc. I don’t have interests anymore and I’m always stressed out and bitching and I’m shitty to be around.
Worse still, when you don’t eat, you don’t really get high.
