Which is the chicken and which is the egg here?

I think the girl is pretty, she's thin, but pretty. There's no fucking way she's "too big". And anybody that's sending that message is simply wrong. "The Media" (whatever) says a lot of shit, and much of it is found in advertising--ALL KINDS of advertising. Making positive associations between a given image and a given product is what they're all about. Regardless of the efficacy of the product, or the truthfulness of a given claim.

Now I'm not a young girl, but I wouldn't be swayed by someone who suggested that a young woman with the figure of the gal in the video was "too big". I reckon there are those that might be influenced that way, but the fact of the matter is such a claim is simply untrue, and can be safely ignored.

Of course, if the people hiring her all believe it, ignoring them could mean not getting work from those people. That might be a problem. But there are lots of problems like that in the world. I'm not the right body type to play professional football. I know that. The NFL would know know that in about two seconds if they ever cared to look at me. I think some of those guys are extremely fit and quite good looking, just as that young woman is, in her way. But the image and self image of the person is not the same thing as being suitable for a given job.

How does she look? She looks great. How well suited for a given modeling career/agency/campaign is she? That's not up to me. I hope she can tell the difference.

Ofcourse she's too big, she's holding an ipad like it's an iphone in front o a 3.5m tall closet. If you notice carefully, she clearly has very poor eye sight which is why she needs those giant books on that specially designed bookshelf you see in the corner, probably why she is not very good at measuring sizes*.










*. That's what he said.

She's not being told she's fat. She's being told her body is the wrong size/ shape to fit the sample clothes designers use. She's worked in the industry for five years, she knows what it's like. Tall girls don't get to be ballerinas, girls blessed by the titty fairy don't get to walk the runway, girls with a bit of booty and hips don't fit into size 2 dresses.

Yes, the fashion industry is ridiculous. But if you choose to work in it you play by their rules. And if you choose to wear clothes which look their best when modelled by tall young girls with androgynous body shapes then you're supporting that.

Looking the way she does, she'll get plenty of other opportunities.

Hmmm...

Oh yes, Hakuna your Tatas. Brilliant! :notworthy

I like it. But his back is kind of weirdly... grimy? Sweaty? What is that?

The "blister" toward the back of the plane is his position

Nice find, Feet! Thanks for the backstory.

Strange, history records the photographer and the pilot who was shot down, but not the name of the naked gunner who had rescued the pilot.

"PBY Air Sea rescue plane picks up Lt. Robert A. Schaeffer, badly burned USMC F-4-U pilot of Dayton Ohio, shot down in St. Georges Channel near Rabaul. Gunner who helped bring in pilot is back at station." April 1944: St. Georges Channel; Horace Bristol; 80-G-473978."

So, it's a sea rescue plane, which means pretty much every rescue includes jumping in the water. They didn't see fit to issue him appropriate water clothes, I can accept that--the military had other things to spend its money on, for one thing, and guys swimming naked wasn't a huge deal then, to the point that wearing some kind of swimsuit might have even seemed feminine in its modesty. But the Pacific Ocean is cold, that had to interfere with the rescuer's muscles upon being plunged in. And I would imagine that since time was of the essence, guys like this were probably just hanging out naked for most of the flight out there, waiting for the moment the downed plane was spotted to jump in. I wonder if this sort of thing happened all the time.

At least give him a jockstrap for hitting the water. After he was in that cold Pacific it would be moot. :haha:

Since they were being shot at, before, during, and after the rescue, I would imagine that time was of the essence.

That's why god invented adrenalin.

Also I'm pretty sure the gunner isn't intended to jump from his gun into the water as SOP. Probably he saw what needed to be done and leapt in.

"What did you do in the war, Grandma?"

Oh no. No. No, I got the headline and clicked that fucker right off.

I genuinely don't want to know why she would do that. Frankly, I am a little miffed I know she did it at all.

I just...I don't even. Fuck it, people are weird sometimes.

Thanks for the head's up. I don't even intend to get as far the headline now :yelsick:

That's a new low in self-cannibalism. Worse than eating your boogers or dining on your placenta. I hope she warns her dinner guests.

I expect she will tell them after.

Oh dear God, can you imagine?

I had the same *initial* reaction. But I didn't respond the same way, I let it load, and read the article. There's nothing gross to see. The idea might squick you out, if so, stay away. But if you can manage it the article is pretty good.

Recommended.

Damn right the idea squicks me out.

I still don't want to know.

On an intellectual level I can't say what is wrong with what she is doing. Bacteria is bacteria and it's all killed off anyway. But on a human level I know exactly what's wrong with it. It's fucking disgusting. There is something wrong with her.

Several people have made beer with it, too. I don't want any though, because it's squicky... like haggis. :p:

It's not the yeast we normally make bread or sourdough with, though. It's Candida albicans (unless she has some really exotic variety), a yeast that isn't benign. Our immune systems keep it in check unless we're immunocompromised, in which case it gives us all sorts of trouble.

There's everything wrong with what she is doing. What will she bake next, a chocolate cake made with Clostridium difficile from her most recent episode of the squirts? Fucking disgusting is right.

:headshake I still don't want to know.

So I know some bacteria (like with botulism) produce toxins and even if you cook them and kill all the bacteria, the toxins still remain. Is the Canada Albania bacteria like that? If not, how can eating a dead bacteria harm you?

Understand that I in no way support what she is doing and I think it's disgusting.
