Poor bastard, imagine being a border collie tied to a sedentary monster that screams orders at you all day. These sorts are always fucking abusive to their pets off screen.
Yeah I've said it before in this thread: in every rally class or flyball team there's a screeching asshat who forgets this is supposed to be about having fun with your dog. These people don't achieve anything on their own so they have to live vicariously through their dogs, who get burned out at 3 years old and are unceremoniously discarded.
Oh NO...!
I came across this too. I admit I think CFS *this severe* is almost always psychiatric but this girl seemed together before this. I followed her a little already (for powerlevel reasons I won't go into) and I didn't see this coming.
Yeah there has to be something more to this, I feel really bad for the husband though.
Dr. Claw and her bacterial henchmen are still plotting the munchpocolypse. She failed at kicking off her reign of terror during the tattoo saga but she's not defeated yet. One day soon you'll wake up to that claw slowly pushing into your mouth then BAM, sepsis. Just telling it like it is. I feel sorry for the "real" kiwis, the geographic "kiwis". It's sad but you'll have to nuke your country or deal with autonomous self-aware sepsis homonculi.
Fun fact: physics girl was actually the main love interest of deceased schizophrenic lolcow Terry Davis. His trolls would often pretend to be her in order to get reactions out of him. RIP Terry, sad that people think it's cool to pretend to have the illnesses which ruined your life.
I don't see any motive. She had a thriving YouTube career so money and attention are clearly off the table. Also, I just skimmed through her twitter history for a bit and noticed that she nevet posts more than 1-2 selfies a month (in which she looks genuinly sick) and that her health updates usually carry a very fornal character. Doesnt sound very munchie to me at all.
This one gives me mixed feelings because I don't see a single reason why she would do that, she was always excited about her work- but a tiny gutfeel tells me something is wrong with the situation. Think about a time you had a surgery or were seriously ill- you still strive towards comfort when you can and we can usually read or watch something. I have a friend who suffers from really bad autoimmune disease and her life is tough, but she still enjoys going online and participating in hobbies. If physics girl can't even do those things for her own relaxation that sounds like a very heavy health problem, and I know they're in America so they can't just keep her hospitalized 24/7 but why can't her condition be treated? Why is her husband her primary caretaker when they could hire a nurse and her mom is around? It's nice for him to be there for her, but he's young and any job money would help with the medical bills, they can't sit on what they have forever.
With over 2 million subscribers, she's got plenty of money to go to hospitals, many doctors, etc. It is very, very strange.
I dont know who this person is but i like playing devils advocate. Attention comes in different forms. The type of attention you get from being a youtuber is different to the type of attention you get for being sick. And money as a motive plays into malingering more than being a munchie. While a lot of munchies grift, it's not usually the main motivation. It's more of a side benefit and munchies would still munch even if they couldn't grift. Some successful people go full blown munchie to deal with stagnation. Some get sick, get a break from it all, and evolve into a munchie.
Simone (the one giving the update) had a very real brain tumor and surgery not terribly long ago, if I'm not mistaken. There was an outpouring of support for her during that time. I'm inclined to believe that she (physics girl) is actually unwell but I have no real reason to say so; I wonder if the attention shown to her friend by the youtube public might have had an allure. Idk.
I don’t know her, either, but I find it very interesting that she got married only last year and, within less than a year of her wedding, she’s suffered such a decline in health that she’s bedbound and on IVs, needing full-time care from hubby dearest. I’ve known people with serious illnesses, including late-stage cancer, that had better quality of life than that. I’m curious to know if she’s ever had a serious health decline before, particularly as a response to a stressful situation.
She didn't though. Before she became so severly ill, her posts about illness didn't get much traction. You can observe her gradual decline on her twitter, starting in july of last year, and you'll further notice her posting frequency getting less as her condition worsens. If she was a munchie, it would be the other way around, no?
I saw it few weeks ago and it reminded me of this thread immediately. I can’t say why, it just seems like munching.
