>>2570083

>Anisa just HATES violence!!! Unless someone is beating the shit out of Ian - then she's ready to take pictures
Every other point is cowish but this one is based and funny. Repoast because I linked the wrong board like a retard

The only based thing about her tbh

venus' downfall is sad in many ways but she never actually looked like the photo on the right. her desperately wanting to look like a filtered version of herself and hating her real appearance is part of what led her to butcher herself in the first place

If Jill ate healthy meals, stopped her weed addiction which is probably keeping her fat due to appetite stimulation, and dyed her hair back to her natural color and took care of her natural wavy texture she'd easily mog the absolute shit out of her gormless, backwater hillbilly Canadian friends. Easily. This would never happen of course because she's dedicated to looking as smelly and lazy as possible but I'm just saying. She'd look very English Rose-ish as opposed to looking like she smells like ripe ear wax.

I'm gonna say accounting because nursing, like engineering, has a huge amount of visa workers being brought in instead of Americans being hired. Same way that fucked up the tech industry and led to tons of layoffs for American workers could easily happen to nursing.

>>2570968
Can't the same also be said for accounting? I liked the idea of accounting since it's an office job that's less stressful(from my view anyway) in comparison to nursing which is the more physical career. But I am wary that AI will affect accounting jobs pretty badly.
I'm still finishing some prerequisites so I still have time to make a final decision but I still worry about spending money and time studying for something only for it to not land me a job. Actually, that's one of the main reasons it took me so long to get back to school– millenial horror stories of student loans that they'll never be able to pay off scare the hell out of me, as pathetic as that sounds.

>>2570954
I feel like nursing is more of a future-proof field. It's less likely to be affected by AI and, at least in my area, nurses are in demand. That being said, it can be grueling work and physically and mentally taxing. You work long shifts and have to deal with all sorts of patients. If you aren't prepared to work a job that will have you dealing with human body fluids and potentially seeing people die, I would go for accounting.

>>2571095
I don't think AI will take over accounting any time soon. Companies would have to share the data from their bank accounts, etc. to be able to use the AI for accounting. Imagine letting another company look at and scrap your entire transaction history… nah. Also, AI makes a bunch of mistakes all the time. They can't risk having an AI fucking up the bookkeeping. I don't know, I feel like it's gonna be a long time until AI fully takes over accounting.

>>2571095
Haven't heard of mass visa exploitation for accounting or any other business jobs like that. Plus afaik you'll never have to work night shifts or weekends as an accountant, which you absolutely will have to do as a nurse for at least some time.

if she's going for a vintage schtick, why is she overlining her lips to be fuller AND wider, when bee stung lips were a thing, though it may be outdated for the era she's going for, overlining is so modern tho

>>2571520
she genuinely doesn't even seem to be popular with men though, it's why the pickmes defending her keep saying she's for the girls? since finding out she literally just does what her marketing team tell her (lolita photoshoot) I genuinely think it is a psyop.

Nta but wfh is a common accommodation that can be requested without disclosing a disability.

>>2571122
>who was this, what was his name?
Which person are you asking about? I mentioned 3 of them.

>>2570699
That's awesome. Not how America works, unfortunately. Disabled people are just seen as a burden and a liability (and sometimes even a potential danger, if it's a job in sectors like education or healthcare)

>>2571171
Dunno where you're from, but in America you have to explicitly disclose your disability to get any accommodations. You can't get any if you're not disabled and don't provide documented proof. It's called the interactive process.

I don’t have any tips (I wish I did!) but I know exactly what you’re talking about, especially regarding the atmospheric shift. When there’s multiple interviewers in the same room there’s always this moment where they both go quiet and shoot each other a significant look and I know I’ve fucked up. Afterwards they either lose interest completely or become weirdly condescending. My least favourite reaction is one I often get from very charismatic, “smooth-talker” type men, where they get this wide grin on their face, lean forward very far (often resting their head on their hand), really intensify the eye contact and start asking these strange and completely irrelevant personal questions. When I was younger and more naive I used to think this meant they were interested in me (as a student or employee) but now I’ve come to recognise that as the look of someone who’s fucking with me and thinks it’s hilarious. Now when I see that look on an interviewer I just panic and shut down.

My most successful interviews have been the really short ones that wrap up before my mask slips and they realise I’m a sperg, but to be honest every job I’ve ever gotten was through someone I already knew who could vouch for me so the interview wasn’t really important. I used to feel like crap about that but then I realised that practically everyone I know got their job through networking and not the standard application process, so I don’t feel as bad. Of course, networking is difficult for us, too…

>>2569534
This is my experience, too. My country has (or had, since the new conservative government wants to get rid of it) a system like
>>2570699
mentioned but even then most employers don’t want to deal with the hassle. My job seekers coach (idk esl) advised me not to mention my diagnosis at all unless the company or institution explicitly makes a point of being inclusive of disabled people. Everyone else will just be scared off. There are also companies whose entire business model revolves around hiring disabled people and raking in these subsidies, but I was warned to stay away from these. The impression I got was that these companies overwhelmingly hire men with intellectual impairments tPost too long. Click here to view the full text.

some mods are over sensitive fujos

Gee, I wonder why a Britanon might need to use a VPN to talk about sexual assault in her country. Better ban her!

>>2570644
The aversion mods have to this topic being discussed is actually incredible. Just because /pol/fags love to use it as a "gotcha" and pretend they care about women doesn't mean it's suddenly a conspiracy.

Love this one from the advice thread. Tranny gets called out, then the mods redtexted this person because the troon is ftm so it's okay!! Moderation is fucking tragic now. I would have capped the entire post but it was too long.

>>2570356
to me it's all empty numbers. i'm not that famous but it's tiring having to entertain and talk to moids to have a small chance of getting something free. now i have a boyfriend so i don't do that shit anymore, but it was exhausting having to act like a BPD whore and pretending to be friends with moids just to have free delivered booze or clothes. right now i'm thinking of deactivating my ig account because of how pointless it is, i can't be like the other well adapted normies and sometimes i succumb to the need of posting retarded shit nobody cares about.

>>2570383
>having to act like a BPD whore and pretending to be friends with moids just to have free delivered booze
I hear that anon

Cultivating an online presence made me develop some hella irrational paranoia and anxiety. Like, I had realistically nothing to fear about, it wasn't like I was getting into drama or groomercord servers or shit. But I feel like being on social media after a while is bound to rot anyone's head. So boom back to severe hermit again with 0 followers, 0 following, 0 posts

I am very good at posting so it’s always been easy for me to build a following on any platform. It’s a double edged sword imo because obviously attention on the internet is fun, but it gets addicting to have people respond to your thoughts and personal life. Maybe it would be different if I was mysterious and only posted pictures of sidewalks and croissants, but I like posting about my life and I enjoy connecting with other internet women who share their lives. When I first quit social media I noticed I would think about my life in terms of “posts”, like if something funny or interesting happened to me I’d immediately start mentally drafting the story to tell online about it. This year I’ve deleted everything and only use LC and a couple discord servers with close friends. I might go back in a year to share my art but for some reason I just feel like I’m done with profiles and posts and mutuals. I got sick of how it’s so addicting to get clicks even though none of it’s real, even my life stories weren’t real because I was carefully choosing which stories to tell and which ones to hide. I even hate when my jokes get screenshotted in the LC caps thread because it gives me that familiar rush of “yay women on the internet think I’m funny” that I would get from Twitter, it’s so stupid. I’ve made lifelong friends from social media that are now real life friends and I wouldn’t trade them for anything, but I do regret how many years of my life I’ve wasted just… posting. I say this like I’m not blogposting right now, but you know what I mean. I don’t think it’s worth it to cease lurking unless you want to join a specific community and make likeminded friends.

not milk per se, more of an introspective look at how using social media has affected people, like if someone joined just to find other people into the same stuff as them, but ended up getting hooked on numbers and started clout chasing and trying to make their account some kind of personal brand, or got worried over how unhinged cancel culture can be at times, and tried making themselves small and agreeable and acting like whatever's in so they weren't left out.

it doesn't have to be all negative though if you have something positive to share. anything that personally involves you and social media, your experiences, thoughts on it, etc.

Kek I just came here to post this. Fav post on lolcow since sending emails to the gay sex positions website with a female signature.

>>2570189
No she's had a long career (since the 1970s) as an expert witness/consultant for the defense in various criminal trials, but she's a psychology researcher not a lawyer.
>probably destroying survivors lifes
Not just destroying the lives of survivors, but as mentioned above, she was involved in freeing Ted Bundy before he continued to go on a spree killing more people. So she's been at least partially responsible for the deaths of multiple people.
>it's not like there's a risk about massive amounts of children lying
She believes the opposite though and has been one of the most influential figures in trying to make sure that sexual assault witnesses (especially children) are not believed.

>>2570253
I know several people who did stuff like your boss too, like insisting the vaccine and 5 boosters they took were super safe because they never died of COVID, but unfortunately they still have 'long COVID' they got after the vaccine that gave them Bell's Palsy, seizures, autoimmune disorders and weird rashes. One woman I know 'developed' epilepsy within 24 hours of getting her first COVID vax, and ended up in the ER after she had a seizure at home and smashed her head on the corner of her coffee table, which she actually did blame on the vaccine but says it was all worth it because she didn't die of COVID. No shit, you were a previously healthy 30yo woman, why would you have died of COVID? But now you have epilepsy and a huge gash across your skull.

Im not sure why anyone would trust the grauniad on anything, especially an American issue. Nonnas should really know better than that.

>>2570688
Especially when it comes to this specific executive order, which is just attempting to restore the legal definition of woman back to 'adult human female.' My tinfoil is that a bunch of news agencies and politicians keep spuriously and incorrectly linking the 'Defending women from gender ideology extremism' executive order to other bad things Republicans or federal/state agencies are doing in order to drum up more support for troons and to convince leftists/feminists that defining women as female secretly harms them in some way. Republicans in the US find plenty of ways to harm women (like in the case of the braindead woman forced to stay alive since she's pregnant) that don't rely on the legal definition of woman not including troons at all, yet these cases keep getting linked back to this specific gender critical executive order why? I think they're trying to pick away at the growing support for radfems and gender critical thought on the left by guilt tripping people for GC views. Somehow countries like the US and UK and Canada managed to function for many decades without legally defining males as women, and several of those countries also had strong abortion protections and created other pro-female laws during that time. Why should we suddenly believe that including male troons in womanhood is necessary to have pro-woman laws and women's rights?

>>2570707
You're right, it's very suspicious. I think you're into something.

>>2570718
Grauniad in particular have been seething and whining over the UK supreme court ruling so it makes sense that they would also start attacking similar US legal changes.
