Those articals also don’t take into account the context of [some, not all] European diets. In places where food is treated as a sacred social activity and you get an hour or more to eat lunch, it’s easier to make healthier choices. And you go out to eat and chill and bond with your friends and family, or laze around a park, even during work lunch breaks. In the places where people are healthiest, scarfing down something from the microwave in the back room while your boss breathes down your neck on your 15 minute non-break would be outrageous. Having no time or energy to prepare dinner or relax because you’re so overworked is significantly rarer. 

A glass of red wine is good for you, but probably not as important as the fact you get hours to appreciate it in the company of other people.

It’s universal healthcare and worker’s rights and just valuing human life in general

me when my mom criticizes my life’s choices:

Not shaving and not wearing make up are literally nonbehaviors. They’re a complete lack of action. But doing nothing is considered masculine because men are the only ones who are allowed to just be.

Maturity is realising that other people are not mind readers, even those who love you. It’s on you to reach out, talk about how you feel, and to explain yourself. ​Everybody is busy living their own lives and is caught up in their own issues & problems, amidst all that you can’t expect them to magically be in tune with your every need and emotion. Communicate.

i don’t feel like i’m old enough to be my age

I can’t believe no one has posted a clip of this yet. This is one of the funniest bits in the whole show.

ONE OF MY FAVORITE THINGS ABOUT HUMANS is how we pick up lil quirks from people we’re around often!! i love how u can tell people are close by the way their body language is complementary. i love seeing people start using expressions and words their loved ones use often. i love when you complement someone on something and they say something like “so-and-so got it for me” or “so-and-so introduced me to it.” we’re so deeply entangled with each other, constantly building each other up in subtle ways without even realizing it. how neat is that!! how freakin’ cool are we!!!

This postmodern bullshit that “avoiding the expected” and “shocking your audience” is more important than writing a good and coherent narrative has to die in a fire because it’s ruining storytelling.
