Introducing our new game called:
“Don’t Be A Di*k During Meals With Friends.”
The first person to crack and look at their phone picks up the check.
Our (initial) purpose of the game was to get everyone off the phones free from twitter/fb/texting and to encourage conversations.
Rules:
1) The game starts after everyone has ordered.
2) Everybody places their phone on the table face down.
3) The first person to flip over their phone loses the game.
4) Loser of the game pays for the bill.
5) If the bill comes before anyone has flipped over their phone everybody is declared a winner and pays for their own meal.
Variations/house rules:
-Starting the game after everyone is seated.
-In the rare event that multiple people flip their phones simultaneously, the bill is split between said players.
- Feel free to invoke penalties/strikes systems.
Notes:
- No touching or messing with anybody else’s phones.
- You don’t have to stack the phones. This was done for picture taking purposes.
- I realize I should perhaps think of a different name for this awesome game. Because I don’t mean to imply that everyone who checks their phone during meals is a di*k.
- I recommend not being such a stickler or hardass on people about the rules and even initiation of the game. Basic premise is to just get people open to the idea of staying active and attentive to one another. But if someone has to take a call; they have to take a call =).
- Have fun! It’s really more of a fun concept in this new age high tech life of ours. Conversation is the spice of life.

Dear #pro ana,
I give you… CUPCAKES!
(I can hear those little tummies rumblin’!)
xoxox, The Chili Cheese Burrito

this and the tags are really cruel. this didn’t make any eatign disordered person eat ,sry2say. it just fostered more of a sense of shame.

No, whats cruel is supporting an online community that glorifies and encourages anorexia. If you have a real eating disorder, seek help. #pro ana is NOT about eating disorders.

says someone who is not a part of the pro-ana community, when everyone in the community is telling you differently, unanimously?
you’re not eating disordered and think you know better than us?
YES, that is cruel.
put an autistic boy in a bag, try to desensitize OCD people from their triggers, or make fun of eating disordered people with pictures of cupcakes.
whatever you’re doing, it’s horrid.
it’s ten times as horrid as the support (yes, support) i get from people on the pro-ana tag.
they sure as fuck don’t put triggering pictures of cupcakes in my face, laugh at me for being triggered, and then say ‘get help’ with complete ignorance of how FUCKED UP the eating disorder treatment programs in the U.S. are.
you don’t like pro-ana (which is, actually, about eating disorders by eating disordered people, so fuck off)
good for you.
 here’s a cupcake with a christmas tree on it.
now leave us alone.

I will be sure to post many cupcake pictures… just. for. you.
If you have a disorder… SEEK HELP. GO TO YOUR DOCTOR. DONT SIT ON THE INTERNETS AND ENCOURAGE OTHERS TO MAKE YOUR SILLY LIFE CHOICES.
xox

silly life choices.
wow.
i explained the issues to treatment and why ‘GET HELP’ isn’t a solution, like, ever in my last post.
it’s been explained to you why you’re triggering people into more binge purge episodes? someone could end up in the hospital with a ruptured esophogus because of you? it wouldn’t cure their ed, mind.
but you don’t give a fuck?
you just want to spam us with cupcakes because it maks you feel better for us to suffer more?

No, i want to spam you, in the hopes that maybe just ONE #pro ana retard breaks down and eats something.
That’s the goal. Starving yourself willingly isn’t an eating disorder. Encouraging others to do the same… is not an eating disorder.
Seek mental help, for your own sake.
