Sorry, what?

Why do Redditors still believe in obvious ragebait or Karma-farming posts? The OP claims to be a 20 year old woman engaged to a 35 year old man who creeps on her 14 year old sister. As usual, we have people saying that OP is being groomed and getting thousands of likes. After all these years, people should know better, why do they still believe in that these posts are real?

>>2291636
>I'm a little shocked and taken aback telling her that I am a man after all
kek

>>2292009
AITA posts are all insane and unbelievable

The way redditors write prostituted women in their fakeass /thathappened stories disgusts me so much

>>2291605
Wow okay, that makes sense now. By the way the headline was written I thought it was saying he was so attractive he had to see a prostitute, I was like why does he have to pay for sex if he's so attractive. What a pest

are we allowed to sperg about our college experiences on here? i made the mistake of taking lgbt 101 in college (late 2010s, liberal area)

>professor was a nonbinary moid who used to identify as a gay man until he started dating a tif, which contradicts his own ideology but okay
>starts class by asking our pronouns, first kid on attendance is a normie moid who doesn't know what that means and says "idk." prof they/thems him for the rest of the semester
>makes us do the gender unicorn
>class rule is "don't yuck anyone's yum"
>prof shows us video on pup play, says and "this is healthy"
>one bullet point on second wave feminism: "they did some good stuff but they were terfs"
>prof shows us a video about a moid who makes his wife help him dress like a little girl, we're supposed to support the moid
>quizzes with questions like "what is the difference between bisexual and pansexual?"

not to be a drama queen but i feel like some of the shit my professors "taught" me in college was borderline grooming

>>2292303
>are we allowed to sperg about our college experiences on here?
of course, anything that has to do with academia or higher education, past and present is allowed

any anons here that are failing classes and won't be able to finish their academic year? I am on my last university year and i have gone through some harassment and issues both at home and at class that have completely sucked away all the ambition that i had that i just cannot finish this year and im failing my classes. My anxiety has gotten so bad that i even skipped my classes and when ever i tried to study i would just ruminate or i would get nosebleeds from how stressful and traumatic i find college to be.

Now that i flopped this year and didn't finish it, my parents have made it known that they are disappointed and hate my guts and will not finance my education anymore so now i will be going somewhere abroad to work as a minimum wageslave for the rest of my life. Honestly i fucked up my life maybe i should have put in effort even with all the mental stress i was feeling especially when i only had one year left but now that's gone.

Oh well time to wageslave somewhere i guess. I hate how if you don't have a education the only thing you can do is minimum wageslave physical labor.(wrong thread)

>>2292407
wrong thread

Kubo herself made fun of that doujin with a doodle of victor thinking about toilets. The call comes from inside the house kek. I miss yoi so much, I will never forgive whatever exec permitted us from getting the movie

All this drama gives more reason to never go back than an anti-gacha psa

these people are insane, reminds me of the antifujos claiming women liking yaoi is misogynistic because they dont want to see women in their porn kek

>>2292602
NTA and I hope you won't start a fujosperg infight over this, but people claim fujos are misogynistic because of how often they hate female characters and even real women for "getting in the way of muh yaoi", not because of your retarded strawman.

>>2292612
>hating fictional characters is misogynistic now
there are little girls being forced to marry to old men and you fags only care about people hating fictional female characters written by men

>>2285108
>Men fetishizing lesbians which will in turn cause them to troon out eventually and harass real women/invade their spaces is less oppressive than women reading bl

You have to be kidding me.

>i dont understand why straight women want to see two men instead of a man and a woman
>also i am bisexual
>any woman that doesnt want to self insert has low self esteem and is misogynistic
>they should draw femdom BUT THE TYPE I LIKE ONLY ANYTHING ELSE IS MOIDY!!!1!
>also drawing the female character with a harem is bad actually because they obviously dont care about her they are only using her as a ''beard''

These people are so fucking entitled, they care more about a fictional woman than the real women they are constantly nagging about. I will never understand antifujos, i cannot imagine caring about something as harmless as straight women liking hot men. Their big problem seems to be that some women detach their sexuality from looking good for men, they want men to catter to them instead and look sexy for them and that's what antifujos find so offensive. Terminal case of being pickmes.

>>2285083
Probably because fujos used to state this exact point verbatim? Lmao

>>2291069
literally where, thats something antifujos projected onto fujos.

>>2290712
Why should I care about the well being of women who refuse to stop perpetuating misogyny? Just dead weight.

Gen z is literally just millenial 2.0 except they havent done shit. No major movements or any political action. They just… post.. They believe anything said to them on social media. All they do is talk like millenials. "hey so um hating trannies is bad, actually!". Literally what is wrong with you, you should be shoved in a locker you dork. They don't do any political action yet constantly police eachother and split each individual hair over frivolous ragebait pushed towards them by silicon valley trumpshits. It's actually "them damn phones"!! They're literally addicted to ragebait and it runs their culture. They fell for the tradshit, they fell for shit like temu and shein, they fell for general grayness. It's so embarassing, I can't even name anything culturally significant in the 2020's other than like covid 19 or brat. Shit sucks

>>2290977
Sorry, what is "general grayness"?

>>2271156
You don't need any examples. Children are naturally evil (selfish) because that's the optimal mindset for something that's concerned only with its own survival (as it should be). This will be 100x more pronounced in male children.

>>1939569
The reason for this is YouTube and social media. They all incentivised mediocrity and quantity over quality so thats the zoomer mindset when it comes to media.
There's no more reward for being a real creative. There's ONLY a reward for following the rules. Marketing firms set the trends, you follow them. End of story.

I never got the outrage over the picrel. It's just showing how photography developed, but people interpret it as proof that our world is more grey now. Of course we have less red, orange, and yellow tones in photos now, because photography isn't sepia toned anymore.

Shh let us dream, nona.

Apparently the hostel attendant who checked him in asked him to show her his 'beautiful smile' which I think was intentional so they could get him on camera because she must've sensed something was up with him wearing the balaclava so I'm kinda mad even though we were indeed blessed to bear witness to it.

>>2292305
yeah during the pandemic when you wore a mask to a liquor store or a bank you had to pull your mask down and face the camera. it’s policy at some places and a hotel or hostel would be somewhere like that where verifying identity matters. it was described as good natured and flirtatious by the police but who knows if it was genuine or men interpreting a woman using a method of asking that’s less confrontational to get a higher chance of compliance as genuine flirting.

>>2292228
anyone else only want him to get caught so we get a better look at him via mugshot and more released past photos?

I haven't been physically attracted to my bf for a long time because he's gained weight, I know it's time to tell him but I feel so bad hurting him I don't know how I'll bring myself to do it, but I have to

i regret fucking everything I REGRET FUCKING. EVERYTHING. none of your attempts of making me feel better feel good and i hate how much you fucking treat me like some child to be coddled. I hate you i hate you i hate you i hate you i hate you i hate you i hate you and i wish we never met

Ill never forget what you said about me, ill never overlook this, no matter how much you said youve forgiven me or youre sorry for saying it i will never forget. i will never forget, and i will never forgive myself. if you want to find someone better who will treat you like home leave me alone and stop putting your expectations on me. I've already heard your true thoughts, so leave. me. be.

are you ready to do your shadow work and examine what wound in you is making you feel the need to threaten to harm a defenseless fearful little girl in order to feel? strong in comparison? like wow you could harm a bunny rabbit or a child sized woman. w-why do you want to though?? why do you take pride in expressing it? girl you are so confusing.

he knew i wasn’t okay. he asked me four or five times in a row are you sure you’re okay. he knew it then and he knows it now and he pretends to not know. ask him though. right before he got me cleaned up what was i doing that had him so freaked out he had to ask five times if i was sure i was okay. ask him.

you should also ask yourself if doing something that meaningful didn’t make him feel bonded than what even would? he was friends with r for years and look how stupid he made her look for rabidly defending him. years of friendship means nothing to him either. protect your heart because he is not holding it in his heart. his is locked. made of metal, remember? why’d he get that tattoo? he even tells people. they just don’t listen because he gives them puppy dog eyes and swears eternal devotion. yeah. even to me. look at his devotion to me now how twisted it all is.

>>2291775
Nonna I know this is retarded of me, but reading this just made me so happy kek. Glad you had a good dream

>>2291775
>>2291802
it's not retarded and you should say it, it made me smile too

I dreamt there was a gas station attendant who was being rude to my mother, so I murdered her and when I went to bury her body in the woods I found one of my old classmates buried there already? Does this mean he’s dead?

>>2292454
fuck maybe you should go check

>>2291207
this is hilarious. the gecko anon penetrated your subconscious

>>2292538
nona i force myself not to stim at work every single day, or i do my less severe stims away from people. i actually don't think i'm suffering more than a person without autism at controlling myself. fucking nobody wants to be at work. it's unnatural and stressful. all of us only do it to be able to afford to live.

>>2292545
I’m not the work anon, I’m just replying to the sentence that said an ASD diagnosis doesn’t mean anything, kek.

>>2292549
oh yeah, i see. it definitely doesn't mean anything to the self-dxers whose life it barely affects yeah

>>2292462
Start small, go out on a short walk every day. Maybe just up and down the street on the first day, and maybe around the whole neighborhood a week or two in. Get a calendar (or just quickly draw one) and put an X for every day you manage to go on a walk. Smile and say hi to your neighbors if you happen to meet them.

If you struggle doing it "without a purpose", you make a purpose up and have that as your daily mission. It can be a lot easier when you have something like that to focus on.
Write a list on the notes of your phone for example.
Example of "missions": How many houses are yellow, next day red, and after that blue and so on. Do the same with cars, one color per day. Count how many animals and what species you see. Flowers in gardens, toys left out, count odd vehicles, trampolines etc just find something that can answer the question "how many people on my street/neighborhood have X".
Make a small goal, like if you do it a full week consistently you get your favorite snack or some special treat. After that you get one maybe after 2 weeks or a whole month.

You also of course need to get over your fear of embarrassment. This is going to sound a bit silly but I think it's a good first step, I suggest going here on lolcow and posting embarrassing things in threads. Write something unpopular in the unpopular opinions thread, confess something embarrassing in the confession thread. Also scan the threads to see if there's anything you disagree with and reply to them that they're wrong - hopefully they'll come back and defend themselves and say that you're the one who is wrong. Basically you want to get to the point that you feel a bit embarrassed and attacked for having the "wrong" opinions so you can micro-dose on dealing with those feelings in a safe and anonymous setting. I can only speak for myself, but when I was new to posting on LC I would sometimes feel physically ill when someone started an infight about something I said (I've always been super anxious and non-confrontational in person), it made me so uncomfortable and a bit embarrassed to have people say I was wrong and retarded and so on. But over time I really started to "harden up" and learned that it's no big deal. I'm now much better at handling in person critique even in my personal life. And somehow "hardening" makes me feel softer instead, it's like a weight Post too long. Click here to view the full text.

>At this point autism doesn't even mean anything as a diagnosis.
>>2292538
>It does mean something to people who truly have it.
Nta to either of you, but this is such an important discussion to me. Because I agree that the diagnosis has/is losing its meaning due to what is called diagnostic creep. The diagnosis has expanded so much in no longer mean what initially was an autistic person. It now includes people who are just a bit anxious or quirky, who wouldn't previously have been considered autistic at all.

Being able to legally define the condition is important to people who truly have it, but in my opinion autism is no longer it. I think it's true for other "popular" disorders too like ADHD, every second person now claims to have it… when they clearly just don't. Yet somehow plenty of them DO get diagnosed somehow. It's a massive problem in my opinion, but the "woke" online crowd is very vocal about how valid and good self-diagnosing is, and they have made it so people like them are actually considered true autists (and other) now. People like me who voice their concerns are just called gate keepers and get thrown out of the community until all voices are silenced.

Even before the pandemic my dad had been extremely far left politically, and he’s been a doomsday prepper for years, thinking the world as we know it would end any day now due to a global financial collapse. When covid happened, I think he felt extremely vindicated, like “I told you the world was going to end within our lifetimes!” But now it’s 4 years later, life has largely returned to how it was in 2019, and yet my dad refuses to ever get on an airplane again, he quit his job, and he wears a mask everywhere indoors due to covid. It’s sad that my dad has become a paranoid crazy person, but he’s an adult and I guess if that’s how he’s choosing to live his life, so be it.

>I like hiding my face from freaks and moids.
The privacy aspect is the real reason why I keep doing it, especially with the rise of deepfakes/digital media sexual abuse and those "collector" guys that apparently have images of women sorted by name and/or city area that they share with other men. I'm not masking everytime I go out, but there are times, especially for events at local museums where they take pics of attendees and post them online, where I will mask simply for my own privacy.

>>2291838
Thinking about it, if the guy who shot that health insurance CEO had been masking, they wouldn't have gotten CCTV footage of his face. He wasted the perfect excuse kek

>>2291838
I liked the privacy aspect of wearing a mask but now that people stopped doing it altogether and think wearing it outside of the pandemic is stupid and ridiculous until they catch the usual winter virus that makes them shit themselves and throw up at the same time, wearing one is more likely to draw attention to you. I wore one for a lot longer than everyone else, almost everyone in my city stopped wearing on as soon as possible and looked at me like I was a schizophrenic drooling retard back then, and with how people behave these days I wouldn't be surprised if some assholes would film me of take pictures without my consent to make fun of me online if I decide to wear one later to not contaminate people with another illness. Random strangers wouldn't be able to recognize me in that case but relatives could easily recognize me even if I hide my face.

people are more mopey and anxious because more people are more isolated and feel less inclined to do anything for anyone else
