The update that no one asked for, I ordered the medicines by using another payment method and the customer service moid closed the chat and didn't answer anything at all???? So I guess I did get paid because the amount is close to what I'm supposed to get paid after almost a month of work at my workplace and it's really far away from what I paid, like, what I received was around 100 dollars and what I paid was around 80 dollars.

I want to finally let my dad know one of his friends touched me inappropriately when I was a kid. I’ve never told anyone. I don’t know why I waited this long. I want to tell my stepmom first and have her tell him because it’s just so embarrassing to say to him even though his sicko friend should be the one who is ashamed. I know my dad will be fucking pissed at the guy and believe me. I should’ve said something back then but if they’re still friends I think he should know what a creep that guy is. He’s gonna be really angry (not at me) but maybe it will make me feel better in some way to not have this secret.

Kek Nona, I’m going to try to contest it with this sus accountant he put me in touch with. Might have to pay even more to find someone competent enough to figure this out and then take him to court to foot the expenses. He told me there would be no issues with keeping this insurance policy and now I’m the one who’s stuck paying back the tax credits he obtained. Of course he already filed his taxes so he could get his big payout from the health insurance specifically—the same one that I have to pay $2k towards now.

I saw a dog get hit by a car today and stayed with him while he died and i cannot get over it

I am still working on my essay about stardoll but it's so hard because i have a deep attachment to the game and seeing how neglected it is now honestly makes me kind of emotional. I used to dream about working for stardoll when i was a child. Going onto the stardoll reddit made things even worse because i see people with the same emotional attachment to the game as i do. I can't accept that the game is dead, i still keep having hope that one day a company will buy stardoll and breathe new life into it. It's dumb, but i am so fucking mad and upset about this and right now i am holding myself from alogging the dipshit greedy pig ceo. He better hope i never go to sweden, that's all i can say.

I see my phone in dreams too… I remember seeing memes a while back about how you see your phone irl so often and yet never see it in a dream. And… now I do see it in my dreams. I haven't purposefully tried to lucid dream very much but I have had a few dreams where I just spontaneously realized it's a dream, those are fun. I should work on it

There's been a wide mix of topics on this thread anon, the COVID thing just came up last weeks after months of people talking about other things. 'It gets heated' seems like a weird excuse not to talk about a conspiracy in the conspiracy thread. I wouldn't mind if there were more specific threads for specific things but there used to be a COVID thread where discussion of vaccines and similar was banned and people were directed to this thread instead so farmhands clearly prefer for the discussion to happen here. People will argue 'it doesn't belong in the thread' no matter what people discuss in this thread because it seems like such a wide range of topics is discussed here from like random philosophical gnosticism talk to glowy stuff to COVID to sexism. But I guess people with an issue should post in /meta/ since the thread OP just says
>Do you have somewhat schizophrenic beliefs that worry your friends and family? Tired of getting red-texted for "tinfoiling" about recent events around the globe? If so, you've come to the right place.
>Discussions surrounding government cover-ups, entertainment industry secrets, odd predictions, political intrigues, etc., are all welcome here.
Personally I think the COVID shit is a proven conspiracy and less 'conspiracy theorish' than half the stuff talked about in random /ot/ country and politics threads, not a 'conspiracy theory' at all but I'm sure a lot of people in other threads would disagree with me, so…

>>2472444
Ayrt, I'm not against covid discussion… I'm against it having a containment zone where it can just be a 24/7 infight instead of having little breaks.

>>2472449
Oh I get it, that makes sense. I just check up on this thread every once in a while and if it's something I'm not interested in I leave unless I have something I really want to post about.

Sex causes a more significant increase in prolactin than gooning, so being bald can also indicate a used up whore. Everything points towards not getting involved long term.

>>2472154
So then things that cause high cell turnover like retin-a and biotin also lead to faster aging and hair loss for both men and women?

>>2472308
mechanistically, yes

>>2472154
I'm having a hard time believing that moids lose half the hair on their heads at age 25 because of slightly increased hair growth/cell turnover rate while women keep full heads of hair into their 70s and 80s. It can't be 4 times faster surely?

>>2472380
Would love to see any proof of this.

>>2471962
I mean. If their choice is to starve/be homeless or risk their lives carrying some rich first-world couple's ugly baby to term, then it's not much of a choice, is it? When a type of "work" is only done by deeply desperate, impoverished women, they're ostensibly under threat of great bodily harm if they don't do it. I doubt Marx would have wanted poor women to be targeted for prostitution or surrogacy the way they are, it's basically women being asked to rent their bodies out to wealthy men.

>>2472247
They rape you because they love you nonnie. This is what males actually believe

>>2471654
People who want to LARP as poor or rural like Chappell often like to claim their city is a "small town."

>>2472371
I get that this is a joke, but males make it very clear that they very much separate sex with intimate emotion. Men can have sex and feel absolutely nothing for the woman he did it with. That's just how detached they actually feel about women.

>>2472373
I can't believe she has the gall to pretend shes from a small town. She's trying so hard to sell this false image and it looks like it's starting to backfire because of how disingenuous it is. I think I might have liked her if she never opened her mouth because her toxica vibe was so evident

Some news related to tiktok:
>Amazon.com (AMZN.O), opens new tab has put in a last-minute bid to buy TikTok, a U.S. administration official said on Wednesday, just days ahead of an April 5 deadline for the short-form video app to find a non-Chinese buyer or face a ban in the country.
>U.S. President Donald Trump is expected to discuss TikTok's fate at an Oval Office meeting on Wednesday and consider a final proposal related to the app, a White House official told Reuters on Tuesday.
>Shares of Amazon rose 1.3% in a volume spike after the report.
>Trump said last month that his administration was in touch with four different groups about the sale of the platform, without identifying them.
>White House-led talks entail plans to spin off a U.S. entity for TikTok and dilute Chinese ownership in the new business to below a 20% threshold required by U.S. law, Reuters reported last month.

Why is he wearing a woman's style revealing shirt, already ripped down over his torso? Why is his back arched with his ass sticking out, also carefully highlighted? Why is he carrying a dripping popsicle, one of the most sexualized foods possible? A human mind made this image, it could have just been a normal image of a scared child, everything didn't have to be slightly sexual for no reason.

These women will get killed due to their naivety one day

This made me nauseous.

Nta, you're right it's weird.

Yeah, I spoke to my boyfriend about it properly after and not only was he mortified that he drunkenly sided with his friend (although to be fair he was sat there upset and my autistic boyfriend had that to deal with so I get that) but in the morning he immediately realized when we texted just how toxic about it his friend was being, I think at the time having his friend upset and not knowing the full story, it was easier for him to sympathize but he is frustratingly agreeable and sympathetic with this friend because like me he lost a parent fairly young and he was worried he'd commit (yeah I don't like his friend much anymore)

But he's been thinking a lot about it now and questioning this friend and if the friend is (clearly) toxic. For more context he worked in the same workplace and still works there, that the friend got fired from and because it's retail and people are cliquey I think it was easy for him to initially feel bad for his friend, again, I know my Nigel is somewhat naiive.

I feel better having had a big talk with him about it, but he's been thinking a lot the last week or so about how autistically agreeable he is with this friend and he's started putting boundaries up. I've said if the guy is truly as good as you believe, he'll respect them, and he's also responded to any invites from this friend saying he isn't ready to hang out with him and that he thinks he owes me an apology and he's also been upfront with the friend that tipsy him wasn't defending me enough and that it's made him really want to grow as a person.

So, there's that, but I've told him if this ever happens again, I'm out, because I have too much self respect. His friend insists he never sexually harassed anyone but I think my Nigel is doubting him now so I guess the bright side of his idiot best friend being a twat and messaging me to fuck with me is he's losing my Nigel a bit.

Their other uni friends all live far away and he's the only local friend my bf has. I genuinely believe if he had other friends he'd not try as much, but he got bullied a lot as a child and I think his bestie is manipulative no matter how much his family and him don't sePost too long.

This is the thing that baffles me, his friend in the ten years bf has been to uni with him and has known him, has always been straight as hell, and maybe this is why he's so "it's a gay joke" about it but I'm bi and I find so many issues with it. If a female friend messaged me this stuff my boyfriend would block her immediately so then why do straight moids have to be so gross and do the same…He's definitely jealous we have a relationship but I can never tell if it's because he's single and a self-loathing manchild or if it's because my Nigel is his only friend here locally and all he has. Or both.

>>2467945
>has always been straight as hell
>as hell
He’s a faggot, case closed.

AITA for being tired of listening to my friend whine about her emotionally and mentally abusive gf, I know how that sounds but please hear me out before you respond

>be friends with girl for over a decade, we met on a forum that doesn't exist anymore, live on opposite sides of the country and have never met irl, fell out of touch several times over the years
>back when we first met, she started dating a guy she refers to as her cousin (he was like her mom's aunts grandson or something), she was 17 and he was in his 20's (I think he was 24 but he might have been like 21, I don't remember)
>he got abusive early on and punched her, I told her (back when we were like 17-18) to leave him because he was never gonna change
>she's absolutely miserable then keeps cycling through the honey moon phase thinking he changed and then he starts getting abusive again, I told her multiple times about the cycle of abuse and sent her a webpage about it and she just said "I'm a real person with feelings not a number or a statistic" even though the things I sent her didn't have any statistics (I realize now this was the wrong approach)
>they break up and get back together so many times, sometimes they live together, then they break up and have each other blocked for a while, separate living situations, then get back together and start living together again (Idk how many times this happened) he got more and more abusive (as usual) and resulted with her stabbing him in self defense at one point (and I'm pretty sure they still got back in a relationship after that at least once)
>whenever they weren't in a relationship together she'd just have sex with random guys, gets pregnant by one of them
>she FINALLY leaves the cousin for good a few years back (though still dated him a while after she had her kid)
>raises child for a while, gives the child into foster care later (actually not sure if it's foster care, she didn't tell me and I didn't wanna pry)

fast forward

>they do hard drugs a lot, usually mushrooms or cocaine, one time they both did cocaine the night before a job interview and I was like what were you thinking and she was just like "well they don't drug test you on the spot" they didn't even end up making it to the interview
>in January of 2024, they get in a fight and it gets physical, the gf (who is constantly tickling and poking my friend, which seems childish and weird but okay) goes to stick her finger in my friend's ear DURING A FIGHT, my friend punched her as a reflex bc she thought the gf was punching her, the gf accused her of being abusive, they break up temporarily and the gf goes to live somewhere else (idk where)
>friend says she's gonna get a restraining order, I'm like FINALLY, FUCKING FINALLY. she says how it's gonna be so hard to be alone etc etc. I encourage her, after that we barely talked at all the next month or so. she texts me and casually lets it slip that they're back together. she never told me about how they got back together, probably because she knew I would tell her not to and that it was stupid as fuck
>she immediately starts venting to me about her gf and how she feels like she's breaking apart inside
>this was a whole year ago (as of right now) and even then this shit had been going on for over a year, I couldn't help but just to eyeroll. you get back with this piece of shit and now you just wanna whine about it and get sympathy like you didn't see it coming
>I ask her why they got back together, she says "well we're not back together hurr durr" okay but you're sleeping in the same bed, sharing meals, sharing a car, living as if you're together. I ask her what they're really doing, she says "it's a trial run to see if we need to end things" oh really you didn't have enough evidence already
>that was a whole year ago, they're still living together as of this day
>shows me tons of screenshots over the course of their relationship of her gf being verbally abusive, sent me a 20 minute audio clip that she recorded of her gf just berating her for 20 minutes in which the gf blames my friend for her own cheating (Post too long. Click here to view the full text.

That's ok, I don't mind it as much with animals as when I see it done to people like I said.

How did gooning even get popular with "normies" anyways? All I remember was some Ariana grande ahegao clips with "gooning" in the caption start going viral on Twitter, then everyone started using gooning/gooner

>>2472386
4chan lingo made its way to Instagram Reels.

>>2472390
I’ve been seeing so much chanspeak infiltrating normie social media lately, like “ragebait” on tiktok. But 4chan memes have always made their way to the rest of the internet, like pepe and soyjacks, so that’s not really anything new.

>>2472402
It's also why 99% of Instagram reels are spamming the n-word and racist 13yo humor. /pol/ leaked out kek

>>2466534
Kek sorry nonna. If it means something I also wanna punch steven tyler and gene simmons with the same hatred I feel for richie blackmore.

I wish I could post this classmate I have. Her face makes me feel annoyed for some reason.

Delaney Rowe
She's too good at playing insufferable characters in her videos and now my brain has been conditioned to be annoyed whenever I see her kek

>>2472071
It's because she does it out of self-indulgence, not irony, but reaps the benefits in the same way wordchewers do. There was a popular post on tumblr by some guy who claimed more than once that she was once his upstairs neighbor in an apartment complex and she'd constantly stomp around practicing dancing to John Mayer's Daughters on a loop so much it was annoying

Can someone explain how binders are much different from compression sports bras?

>>2472315
>bean mouth
>septum piercing
>lobe earrings
>shitty tattoos
this has to be a caricature theres no way a tif is actually representing herself like this

>>2472345
Compression sports bras are made to be worn temporarily for short bursts of time (like a training session) to hold your chest down for ease of movement during sports. They do flatten your chest visually, but they aren't meant to make you look flat. Because they're meant for sports they're stretchier and should allow you to breathe and move easily, while just securing your chest.

Binders are made to flatten your chest so it looks flat/more male, no matter if it harms you or not (it does, often permanently). They are less stretchy (to keep you looking flat) and worn for longer periods such as the whole day. They're not meant for sports so breatheability and negative health effects are not taken into consideration. Spoilered image of a deformed chest from using binders in the name of trans.
