This type of argument has some merit. If you truly have a good enough feeling, then yeah, you can disregard everything else.

But you can't just directly control your feelings like that, and when you're trapped in a prison of lard that's limiting your movements, encouraging others to treat you poorly, and grinding your joints ever closer to the point where they will perpetually hurt, you're more likely to have bad feelings than you would be if you were not so trapped. To disregard this is childish decadence.

I mean if you just want a good feeling why not take heroin? You could take it. But you know its positive effects won't last, and you know it has a heavy cost. An imaginary version of heroin that left a person fully functional and didn't produce tolerance or addiction would be pretty great, but it's just a fantasy. Making yourself happy purely by deciding to be happy would be great, but it seems to be just a fantasy. The objective world can't be discarded so easily.

Chasing fantasies is well and good but it won't keep you off the scootypuff, and neither (in most cases) will it stop you from feeling inferior when you do use the scootypuff, unless your fantasy has some meat to it--i.e., it acknowledges and continually adapts to the physical world, the social world, and other such things that exist outside your own imagination.

This fatass thinks the placebo effect can outweigh 100 pounds of lard, that's intense!

"wearing a tutu and combat boots" - Fats make the tackiest clothing decisions. Combining two unrelated bits of clothing like that isn't clever or unconventional, it's "lol so random!!1".

20 years ago that look might have worked as a sort of original "thing" but it's been done so many times now. Even in their "originality" fat fucks ride trends like they ride scootypuffs.

Science is now a feeling. Math is now a feeling. Kay. Good lord the fat has gone to the brain.
