Made it to Season 4, Episode 9. The second the dog ran out and car crashed I stopped, changed my rating from “love this” (from S1) to “not for me”. The whole thing is absolutely terrible. Terrible storylines, even worse acting and the styling of Cal is diabolical. I don’t mind simple, slow paced shows which require little concentration and this was an easy and relaxing watch in Season 1 but it’s completely unbearable now.
Is it the eating disorders that make eating so euphoric? is it drugs? Is it the usual theatrics for attention? WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYY
Does anyone else find performative wealth incredibly tacky?
The constant need to remind everyone about their wealth every single day. The helicopter mentions, the constant humblebragging disguised as relatable content. It sounds less like success and more like insecurity and narcissism.
There’s a huge difference between genuinely affluent people and people who desperately want everyone to know they’re affluent. Truly wealthy people usually don’t need to announce every purchase or lifestyle detail to validate themselves online.
What makes it worse is when it’s wrapped up in fake self-awareness like “haha if he gets a helicopter I deserve this.” It’s meant to come across playful and down to earth, but after the hundredth mention it just feels tone deaf and exhausting.
The constant luxury signalling gives off very “new money” energy. Not because having money is bad, but because the obsession with displaying it becomes the entire personality.
It’s not aspirational, it’s embarrassing. What’s worse, we know they read this page and no matter what is posted they think it’s jealousy.
Another example of them acting like fasting experts.
Breaking a prolonged water fast with heavy or difficult-to-digest foods can be a really bad idea and, in more extreme cases, may even contribute to refeeding complications - especially if someone is already in a physically stressed or malnourished state.
Generally, people should ease out of an extended fast gradually with simple, easily digestible foods such as bone broth, yoghurt, cooked vegetables, etc., before moving back to normal meals. Jumping straight into fast food or sushi isn’t ideal. Even sushi is often high in refined carbs and added sugars because of the rice and sauces.
It’s frustrating seeing people present themselves as authorities on fasting while ignoring very basic refeeding guidance.
They’re not invincible, no matter how much their own delusions of grandeur convince them otherwise.
