This is a checklist to help one understand Borderline Personality Disorder. One may use it to self-diagnose or as a worksheet to present to a doctor or therapist  or other medical professional and better communicate symptoms they are experiencing. All information is taken from the DSM-5.

Section I Must check TWO or more of the following:

I have identity problems, including: I have an unstable sense of identity, I have poor self-esteem and excessive self-criticism, and I often experience dissociation when I am under stress.

I am unstable in my goals, aspirations, values, and/or career plans.

I have a heightened sense of empathy and am hypersensitive to the feelings and needs of my peers, although my perceptions are often biased towards negative attributes.

There is a lot of instability in my relationships, in that I am needy, mistrustful, and anxious.

At this point, if you have checked the minimum, you may qualify for a diagnosis of Borderline Personality Disorder. The next section is a compiled list of symptoms, behaviors, thought patterns, etc. often found in borderline patients.

If you did NOT meet the minimum, check out Major Depressive Disorder, General Anxiety Disorder, Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder, Bipolar Disorder, or Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder. If you checked ALL of Sections II and V but still did not meet the minimum in other sections, look into other personality disorders, especially other Cluster B’s.

This kitchen is getting around that stupid rule by selling you raw, unprepared chicken, and then charging your EBT account for raw, unprepared chicken.

Then as a side thing, totally unrelated, they cook the chicken for free. Since you bought raw chicken with the EBT, it's legal. There's no law against cooking people's raw chicken for free for them. That's just charity.

Keep in mind that unhoused or under housed people often do not have access to clean, safe cooking facilities.

What I'm going to do about you being cruel: hold you in contempt.

Food is not a luxury. The human body requires protein, carbohydrates, and fats - fried chicken supplies all of those things. There is no such thing as 'garbage' food.

I feel contempt for you, and hope that one day you will become a better and more compassionate person. Because I'm petty, I also wish petty suffering upon you. Hope you bite your lip/cheek/tongue every time you have a judgemental or unkind thought about a person who has harmed no one.

do about you being cruel:

hold you in contempt.

But fried chicken is very unhealthy. I mean, obviously it's okay once and awhile as a treat, but you should never, ever forget that fried chicken is unhealthy.

Also, it should be noted that when we talk about "fried" chicken, we usually mean "deep fried", as that is the most popular method. It is also the most unhealthy, but baking or air-frying chicken yields a healthier result.

However, the note on the window does not state how the chicken is prepared, so this kitchen could be baking it, which is far more healthy. Kinda classist to assume it's fried, imo. Again, not my business, spend EBT how u want.

Here, I'll give you some resources on fried chicken (deep fried) being bad for your heart.

Eating fat does not cause heart disease. Ancel Keys will not fuck you.

I urge you to visit https://www.fatnutritionist.com/ and to look into patterns of disordered eating, particularly orthorexia.

Rank-ordering foods on a moral/orthdox scale is disordered eating. Like, clinically.

Know that constitutes healthy food? Food that provides you with nutrition in the form of accessible calories and doesn’t rip up your digestive system or cause an allergic reaction (subjective to individuals! Some foods are perfectly health for some people and unhealthy for others!)

Butter pound cake with cream cheese frosting is healthy food.

A chunk of flank steak smothered in whiskey and honey is healthy food.

A giant bowl of chili is healthy food (with or without beans in it!).

Duck fat melted into a pile of rosemary-infused mashed potatoes is healthy food.

Chicken dredged in flour and fried in fat (Ideally lard, really. But any nonhydrogenated fat is fine - hydrogenated fats should not be raised to frying temps for carcinogen reasons) IS HEALTHY FOOD.

The overwhelming majority of foods that haven’t been utterly fucked with through super-refinement and chemical amendment (spoilers this is done most often to 'diet' foods) are, by the grace of four billion years of evolution, HEALTHY FOOD. 

Boiling a slice of potato in oil does not render it unhealthy. Boiling a chicken breast quarter in oil does not render it unhealthy.

You are fucking WRONG and would do well to sit down and shut up.

And even when foods are unarguably unhealthy? When they cause the people who eat them to be ill?

EATING THEM IS NOT A MORAL CONCERN. YOU ARE NOT A BAD PERSON IF YOU EAT UNHEALTHY FOOD, REGARDLESS OF WHY YOU DO IT.

Healthiness is not a moral choice. You are allowed to make decisions in the full knowledge that they are unhealthy, because your body and your life are your own. It can get dicey if your health choices legitimately cause harm to others (I.E. cause you to neglect or abuse other people for whom you are responsible, like children or elders) but if that’s off the table? YOUR CHOICES ARE YOUR OWN. And in any case whatsoever:

NO ONE IS OBLIGATED TO BE OR STAY HEALTHY.

Sure, health is nice. Many people choose to pursue it. Longevity is nice. Many people choose to pursue that. But they are not the only legitimate choices on earth, nor are they inherently ~better~ than making other life choices that counteract or sacrifice the above.

If you tell me that eating all-butter pound cake will cause me to die at 50, whereas not eating that cake will allow me to live to 100, my choice becomes

A fifty-year life with the cake

vs.

A hundred year life without it

And know what? If I decide that fifty years of delicious cake is a worthwhile endeavor and a well-spent life, one I’d prefer to a cakeless life no matter how long? THAT’S MY CHOICE. WHY DO YOU THINK YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO TAKE IT FROM ME?

(Note: Any civilization that is not attempting with all of its effort to ensure that every single person in it can CHOOSE maximally nutritious food if they want it is a piss-poor civilization in need of serious overhaul (the US in the year 2024 is a fucking dystopia)

For starters the blogger can just delete and ignore it. And given tumblr’s penchant for eating asks I think it would drive some hate senders a little insane if they keep checking back in wondering if their ask got eaten.

For second the anon ask format guarantees the blogger gets the last word in every time. Even if anon sends a follow up message they will never get the last word. And tumblr for better or for worse seems to run on this currency of “whoever expressed the last opinion in a post is the one we’re supporting”
