>What are moovie nights?
When a host is available we hold a "moovie night" where we unite and watch movies together. Please refer to the announcement posts per event to see when they are scheduled. Everyone is encouraged to host!

>What is Tunesday?
Tunesdays are days when we listen to music, often according to a theme. They are held on Tuesdays, but you are free to hop in whenever and organize your own! Everyone is allowed to add music to the playlist. The host will alternate by who added what so everyone gets a chance to listen to their picks.

Lolcow Doodle Board #4 Anonymous 05/12/23 (Fri) 06:18:07 PM No. 1575241[Reply]

Previous Thread >>>/ot/1337722

Come draw together with anons! Nobody else in? Leave a doodle before you go! Everyone welcomed, artfags or not. Drawings of board-tan highly appreciated.

>How it works
Every doodle board has a theme to encourage creativity. There are currently 4 main boards that are cycled through, and when the current board is nearly full a poll will be posted for users to vote on the next theme. Polls stay up for about 2-3 days, and they are your sign that the board will be cleared soon. A picture of the completed board and the new theme name will be posted. Occasional reminders will be posted with the link and theme of the current board. Miss the previous theme? That's alright! Just go to the previous board and add your doodle. Make sure to post it to the thread when you're done.

If you have any theme requests, please post them! We always appreciate new theme suggestions. Themes are merely a suggestion, you can draw whatever you like on the board but please keep in mind that we have a shitpost/no theme board.

Aside from the main board(s), there may also be multiple active side boards at any given time. These side boards have themes such as coloring book, vent/horror, shitposting/no theme, etc.

If you make a new layer and then leave the board you may not be able to access that layer again due to restrictions put on the boards to protect against raids and defacing. In this case, feel free to ask in this thread for your layer back and an admin will assist you.

In general, please do not be afraid to ask for help with anything. Admins cannot be active 24/7 but we will try to help you work out any issues as soon as possible.

Nta, there's some sort of forum-ish part of the site (can't remember what it's actually called) where you can post feature suggestions if you have an account. I did request it and briefly you could use the board without creating an account but they switched it back. You can create a guest account though, I suggest just key smashing like anon said

Nobody thinks that, least of all the moids. It's just one of many vocalizations a moid makes when he gets mogged or cucked.

I remember this too. They complained so much about their wives and families and now when they don't have them they want to turn around and act like it's all they've ever wanted kek. Even today in anime there's still the trope of the older unmarried woman who's desperate to get married and it feels like an extension of that old mentality that women were the ones who wanted marriage more while moids were fine without it, when in reality as we're seeing now it's more like the other way around. Women get the choice and end up not really wanting to pop out 10 kids and be dependent on a moid. The whole "family is ball and chain" also feels way more fitting to apply to women considering so many were basically forced to get married and have kids.
>>2217598
It's because any guy that looks vaguely feminine deserves to be called a woman as an insult to scrotes supposedly (or alternatively, gay). They cope with their ugliness by thinking only roidpigs are true manly men and that any other guy is just women being closet lesbians due to liking feminine, pretty features and youth, when that's just normal and isn't a moid exclusive thing like they've deluded themselves into believing. They seem to think only they get to like pretty things and women are supposed to biologically be attracted to ugliness even though that makes no sense and is a direct contradiction of women's gender roles in society being linked with beauty 24/7. It's like a woman is supposed to appreciate beauty only in herself and everything else but never in men

Nta but I think it can be both. Like they've been conditioned to think only rugged lumberjacks are peak moid but at the same time they don't realize the entire reason why they get this visceral hatred of any feminine men is also because they feel threatened subconsciously that the woman could be into something they could never be. The reason they're so attracted to the idea of roughness, ugliness and being old being peak masculinity is partially because they feel like it's something that's more easily attainable for them too.

it's a surprise to me, I liked it and thought it was decent fun, got a little retarded and weirdly paced towards the end, but a lot of anime does that so whatever. I just watch anime on my own or with a friend and don't interact with the broader community (only individual fandoms, if that), so maybe that's why I didn't know there was this kind of dislike for it

No woman straight or lesbian wants to write about two cardboard cutout anime waifus because there's nothing between them, nothing of substance defining their relationship besides looking pretty, so people end up drawing only smutty pinups and porn instead of fanfiction and SFW doujins. That's why western f/f ships dominate the Ao3 shipping charts with barely any anime ships present. Even yuripedo is only into yuri because she cooms to the porn, not because she finds the characters interesting or really of other value than for gooning. Like every other obsessed yurifag, she spends more time screeching about the fujos living inside of her head and whining about being oppressed for liking loli and female rape rather than building a strong community generating endless amounts of content for all kinds of women to enjoy and driving for female characters to have more variation and agency.

The comparison at the very end is more because my friend is acting weird with everyone around her. She's not just depressed she's straight up aggressive when anyone mentions anything about their own job. That aside what's your opinion? I'm worried about her and she now has some sort of deadline to find a job before her landlord tries to sell the apartment she rents but she's in denial that a lot of people have shit jobs to get by even after getting a masters degree and she may not have a choice anymore.

I had good grades at school without doing shit until I went to a very selective high school but I only started getting good habits in university because I finally started enjoying studying, for once. I always went to the library when I needed to focus in a silent environement, turned off my phone and only used used my laptop so I wouldn't tempted to check useless shit on tumblr or twitter in the open. I know rich students pretending to be broke would instead go to Starbucks but coffee shops are too noisy. If you need to remember definitions or translations you should try to use these tiny notebooks/flashcards from Muji that can fit in a pocket, I did that when learning foreign languages. I would also put my notes on google drive to check them on my phone when commuting, make sure they're available offline just in case you have a terrible internet connection where you go. I had good grades because I also didn't skip any lectures but I couldn't skip them anyway or I wouldn't have been allowed to keep my scholarship if I got caught, unlike the rich pretending to be broke students who would often skip lectures and ask for notes two days before finals.

I work in front desk service and the population in my city exploded post pandemic because it's cheap and touristy, reaching half a million people just in the city itself. Of course the number of front desk workers hasn't increased and this means extremely long eternal lines, barely no bathroom breaks, short and late lunch breaks and doing overtime. Plus, people being more angry and aggressive than usual due to longer waiting lists and lines. My favorite is expats/migrants bitching about wait times when they are the cause of this oversaturation kek.

Anyway the population will only triple in the upcoming years. I like the benefits and the pay isn't too bad (still wagie tier but on the upper end) but I see myself ending up like a diapered amazon worker in 5 years. Maybe it's not easy for americans to relate but how do you cope with out of control overpopulation/demand?
