An update on the OFCOM situation: As you know, censorship around the world has been ramping up at an alarming pace. OFCOM, the UK’s communications regulator, has singled out our community, demanding compliance with their Online Safety Act despite our minimal UK presence. This is a blatant overreach, and they have been sending letters pressuring us to comply with their censorship agenda.
Our platform is already blocked by many UK ISPs, yet they continue their attempts to stifle free speech. Standing up to this kind of regulatory overreach requires lots of resources to maintain our infrastructure and fight back against these unjust demands. If you value our community and want to support us during this time, we would greatly appreciate any and all donations.

or dont hide it and bring it to a counselor or something? theres bring responsible but this is going a bit far. no school, job, or anyone for that matter should ask that of you
The reason why my classes are like this is because my schedule didn't get submitted right, so I basically had zero options for times. On Tuesdays and Thursdays I have constant classes, other days it's just one class. I don't have any other choice but to do this since all the other classes were full. My school has anti-suicide propaganda everywhere, so I'm worried that if I speak to a counselor they'll look into my past and see I'm not "normal".
(depending on where you live obviously) i dont see why they would feel the need to look into your past for this, and even if they do it shouldnt effect anything. the rule about getting anyone involved is typically worded "a current danger to yourself or others" which you wouldnt be (at least nothing in relation to this)
Even that aside, I don't think they'd be able to do anything. I'm only in this predicament because all other classes are full. I'm a transfer student so I need very specific classes to pass.
transfer student or not, i dont think it would hurt to ask. you already know they might say no, but theres a chance they might not. you wont know unless you ask.
I don't have a blender so I can't do a smoothie, but a banana is a good idea. Some teachers are more strict than others but there are opportunities for that. Thanks for the idea!
That's great that you were able to do such a hectic schedule, but not everyone has the same physiology and it's not working out for the op. Arteries is here asking for help.
This is insanely insensitive! "I did it, so you can too" is the biggest BS argument ever. You are definitely an outlier and not the standard. Also, even putting that aside, there are bodily differences such as metabolism, genetics, etc. OP could have a very fast metabolism so they may need to eat more often something. You could've left it at the first sentence where you said to pack a granola bar or getting a quick bite between classes, which isn't a terrible suggestion, but no, you had to try and get on a high horse and act like your better than OP because he wants some time to eat? Ridiculous.
Everyone is capable of packing a few granola bars (or something else) and getting a quick bite between classes, like I suggested. The OP's problem can very easily be managed. It should not be a big issue.
There is nothing insensitive about my common-sense suggestion of packing a few granola bars (or whatever OP prefers) and getting a quick bite to eat between classes. It seems to me that the problem here is OP's attitude to a minor inconvenience. Reality is not always convenient, and the best response to minor inconvenience is to get used to it or plan around it. Lots of people in the world have to go **days** without food, and they find ways of coping. You can describe my post as "tough love" if you want, but it is not insensitive.
oof, describing someone's difficulties with life's hardships as their "attitude towards a minir inconvenience " seems like a real slippery slope. It does matter that you think it isn't a big deal. It does not matter. When someone is looking for support you don't push them down farther.
Look through the entire history of my posts. You will find that they display a great deal of empathy. It is very rare for me to take a different approach, and I only do that if I think there is good reason. In this case, I genuinely do not think that empathy is the right approach. It seems to me that OP would do much better to take a "can-do" attitude to the problem. It's not as though the problem is difficult to fix. When someone is looking for support and there are no easy solutions, I agree wholeheartedly with you that we should provide as much support and empathy as we can. But when they are looking for support about something they can very easily fix themselves, sometimes the right response is to encourage them to face reality. I try to tailor my responses to the needs of the poster, as best I can, and that is what I did in this case. If you don't like it, that's your right. But it's my right to make my own judgements about how I respond to posts.
You're not wrong, but not really sharing anything new. Someone suggested something similar. I'm well aware that this is part of the real world and that pain is inevitable. I was simply asking if anyone had any advice to get through the hunger. I asked on here because I thought people with eating disorders might give advice on how to ignore hunger.
I never considered it but you're absolutely right about the metabolism thing. I've historically been underweight despite typically eating more than average.
I'd rather have something small and quick I can eat while walking. Someone else suggested bananas, which I'll probably go with.
