Miachu,

I don't want to go through the hassle of quoting etc etc so I'll just say a couple of things:

1) I'm sorry your partner is being a fatphobic *** to you; and

2) Relationships don't fail. They end. They end when one person is ready to grow or actively changing and the other isn't. Most relationships we have in life are not permanent and they're not supposed to be. Your body changes are not the cause of the relationship's end (if that happens). It's just a sign that he may not be ready for the kind of growth that you are. And you don't deserve to be abused for doing it.

Sure, go ahead

Not everyone has an appetite. There are plenty of people who simply don't enjoy eating or forget to. However it may be worth looking into another cause such as neurodivergence—people with ADHD for example often struggle with remembering to eat. You may also have nutritional deficiencies that suppress your appetite.

Munchies' tips above are also useful. Make do with what you've got. Make sure you are healthy first, then worry about gain. If you decide to consult with a professional, bear in mind that a "nutritionist" is not the same as a dietician. The latter are registered, certified professionals.

I'm annoyed also, but it has not been down for more than a day. It glitched at 10pm PDT at the reset. That is when it went down. It's currently 4:45PM PDT, so it's been down for awhile, but not more than a day yet.

It is however in their best interest to get it up and running ASAP, especially for paying members. FF isn't cheap and bluntly, it's unacceptable that *a week ago* it was acknowledged that the chat application was out of date and it was allowed to fall into disrepair.

It bugged out entirely at the reset last night. I'd noticed others mentioning the bugs during the week and I didn't have many of them at all, but yesterday it was pretty buggy for me and then right at the reset it just went poof.

it may seem counterintuitive but a bit of food may help. I've had some incredible results when bloating with after after having some rice and steamed broccoli. it wasn't deliberate, I just got into... shenanigans not long after having dinner.

yep, so then I have to go and look up their profile. and 83% of the time there is NO content.

hear hear for writing fanfic. The majority of conventional media we consume is already fanfiction. If someone wants to write professionally for TV or film, you have to basically write fanfic: be exceptionally good at working within the universe someone else created. Voice, scope, characterization, all of it.

So many turn their noses up at fanfic not realizing that most of what we watch and read is already. "Retellings" are fanfiction. The Lion King is fanfiction (what if Hamlet was set in Africa with talking lions?). Titanic is fanfiction.

Not to mention there are some absolutely incredible writers doing this for free and with barely any editing assistance out there. Much of the best writing I've encountered that sticks with me is fanfic.

I was just thinking this same thing last night. It's really unfair given how the chat constantly shifts the user list that it's SO easy to mis-click and open a chat with someone you didn't want to talk to and/or is blocked and it still counts just by oepning it.

and the thing is that we've had this before. previous chat applications required explicit permission from the recipient to chat - they would sent a request that could be accepted or denied.
