    Yeah, I'm watching it now. Some dystopian shit. No mention about telling people to be careful, mask, vax, or anything. No commentary on how fucked up it all is. Just trying to keep the money coming in for her care. doomer

      When they were posting regular updates, they said those things a lot.

        That much sadder then. I've lost a lot of respect for some of the other YouTubers that ran in her circle and have gone fully back to normal. Simone Giertz, for example, was a big disappointment.

          I've met Destin a few times and he's kind of a chud so no surprise for him at least. Simone has been a disappointment for sure.

              aaaaahhhhh, i have this thought pass in my mind - like wtf why does this guy mean by (paraphrasing) "i'm worried she's not caring for herself, that she's getting weaker".

              Like i hope he doesn't mean she needs to like exercise, like i am a complete stranger who browsed her tweets like half a year ago and, she was explicitly trying exercise therapy, exerting herself physically to the point of exhaustion where she would literally carry a chair everywhere with her so she could sit and rest after running out of breathe! Its literally the reason why she's bed ridden now.

              me being charitable just assumed he was like talking about being worried about bed sores or something but yeah if people say he's like a chud - that's an oof, atleast it seems like he was wearing a respirator in direct contact with dianna.

                Similar thoughts ran through my mind at that point. I'd like to give them the benefit of the doubt, because I've certainly put my foot in my mouth when speaking on topics I didn't have the language to properly engage with. But I also wonder if there's a part of him that thinks (or thought) this is in her head.
