Losing to gain is actually a good plan. It should also help to slow down your metabolism.

i think we may all be a little biased towards ff i love the chat room here, i love the forum format, and i love the story library. for those three elements, i think it is the best. the pics and videos are just icing on the cake, for me.

i am also on feabie and grommr. it's a different format - they are like facebook without the algorithms. posts come and go, and only have a short half-life for comments. there is more shouting into the void (kind of like the shouts used to be here, but i see them less and less, which is fine). i don't find it as engaging because, unless you are keeping tabs on it every day, several times a day, things get stale and fall out of context, which is why i prefer the forum format where you can have an ongoing exchange over time. i use feabie a few times a week, and grommr only occasionally.

dimensions requires $ to join now? really? that will kill that site, i think. i don't even know if i have a login there anymore, i haven't used it in ages (well before the pandemic). but 10 years ago it was starting to get quieter and quieter as social media platforms made forums look old fashioned, and less phone-friendly. when the site became *just* a forum and got rid of the rest of the site, that killed a lot of the interest, i think.

i have made friends on ff, feabie, and dimensions that i have gotten to know over decades now, visited in person, and care about a great deal. i think each format has its weaknesses and strengths, and people will find their preferences. i see a lot of people here, and elsewhere, complain about "other users" and "everyone just wants..." [fill in the blank] - and when i look at the profiles, posts, interactions, etc. of the people complaining, it is obvious that they have made little effort to make meaningful connections. they either expect others to do all the work ("i am not going to fill out this profile, just ask me!" why would anyone bother???) or they only spend their effort projecting their own fantasies on everyone else.

i hope ff will run for decades to come!

Munchies:
I never understood the aversion to filling out your profile. Like, why look for connection if you are adverse to doing things to facilitate connection?

Makes no sense to me.

People on here also seem to come and go a lot. I was chatting with a guy on here through dm's the last couple days and randomly he just deleted his account. I've also received several messages that get deleted before I even open them or see who they're from. People can just be so fickle sometimes

SadPinkFox:
I know you are mad at me. I am sorry for suddenly leaving. I was depressed because some people ganged up on me. I hate it here.

Kitsune:
I was hesitant to play Smash Bros with my siblings during Easter but I played anyways. Of course, I ended up looking like a tomfool. :'(

I've come to realization that multiplayer games overwhelm me and I prefer to play in single player mode. I rather play for my own enjoyment and not be judged by others. Anyone here in this same boat?

Now, I should play my good ol casual flash games sometime.

I’ve been working this new door to door job for a week and a half now and I know that I’m not eating enough to maintain my size at this activity level, let alone gain. Any tips for high calorie options that I can bring with me to work?

Morbidly A Beast:
there’s enough demand in the American market any importer will pay reluctantly at a loss, the importer could hike prices all they want it would only increase the tax.

there are going to be people who say import taxes are justifying price increases merely to make profit it’s economical.

Munchies:
I mean, kudos to you if you can take the hit, but that's not a lot of people. And RIP to the small businesses that are failing specifically because of the tariffs.

We also lack the infrastructure to manufacture all the overseas products here. It will take years, over a decade in some cases. If he wanted to create more American jobs by forcing businesses to operate over here, this is the worst way to do it.

The wealthy will always find ways to stay wealthy. They will probably be fine in the long term concerning the tariffs. But the average American? Not so much.

At some point activity will inevitably stop though. My now wife was in the 200s ten years ago and quit mobile, agile and fit. She has been steadily gaining over the years- something I discreetly encouraged - until almost 5 years ago when I confessed to her that I am a feeder and that was the turning point of her massive gain. She is now 593lbs and although not immobile, she’s hardly mobile. Even though we were happy in a relationship as a girlfriend and boyfriend, i wanted her to feel secure in this new condition.. that i will always take care of her and be there for her regardless of her massiveness and immobility, so we got married a few months ago. I love how she let go, and I can’t wait to see her hitting 600 and beyond even if it means that we can’t do together all these activities normal young couples do. I love driving her around and going out to restaurants that have accessible seating for her. Or pushing her wheelchair when we go to malls.
