Why does it seem that people only RP fandoms these days? Does nobody like making original stories anymore?

No. 2498247

i think this depends on where you mainly RP and what subcommunity you’re part of. in the community i usually RP in, almost no RPs are direct fandom rp. even those inspired by actual IPs are only inspiration based and typically create their own lore, and the norm is original rather than fandom stuff. i’m surprised to scroll this whole thread and not see it mentioned at all, but it’s a community that used to mainly exist on deviantart and now operates through twitter and discord. there’s lots of original RP there.

I haven’t roleplayed in years. Miss it so much, but I haven’t been able to find any communities for it and subsequently have given up. Used to roleplay on ffxiv but it’s dead now - all ‘club’ rp, no actual respect for the in game lore and mostly nsfw. People don’t care to write anymore either, and that’s becoming a lost art because of ai. I’m sad and nostalgic just thinking about it. I miss forums.

I know that threads dedicated to specific countries are technically banned, but the Suomillanka, North Africa and German threads are fine and since I've been seeing a lot of Dutchfags (perhaps summerfags, who knows) I thought a Dutchfag thread could be fun. Especially since we have a lot of cows, whether it's on tv or just social media. Also, feel free to discuss anything fun! Like music, food, Dutch habits/manners. Vent about the housing crisis, overregulation, Americanisation, all of it!

Major cows:

Family de Mol
>Johnny the Mol beats up his wife multiple times, allegedly daddy paid all witnesses 5000 euros and gave his wife a house in Ibiza so she would shut her mouth.
>Knew about the Voice kids scandal (multiple children and teens were molested and some even raped), did not do anything at all.
>John de Mol has control over the public television, does not allow criticism on him or any associates.

Marco Borsato
>Singer, former coach for the Voice Kids.
>Molested 2 girls (if not more), one was 15, the other 13 at his home barbecue (which was for the participants of the Voice Kids).
>Keeps acting like it's all untrue despite evidence.

Mijn huisarts werkt nog maar parttime sinds een aantal jaren, dus soms heb ik een waarnemend huisarts. Weet niet of dit echt als een 'second opinion' telt aangezien ik niet naar een andere huisartsenpraktijk hoef te gaan, maar ze hebben beide erg verschillende meningen gehad over een probleem wat ik had. Ik had na een afspraak met de waarnemend huisarts het gevoel alsof ik me gewoon aanstelde en dat het misschien tussen m'n oren zat, maar dat bleek dus niet zo te zijn nadat ik een paar weken later opnieuw een afspraak maakte (dit keer bij mij echte huisarts) voor hetzelfde probleem. Heb toen gewoon een doorverwijzing gekregen naar het ziekenhuis en ben daar verder geholpen. Als je gevoel zegt dat er iets niet klopt, zou ik als het kan zeker om een second opinion vragen. Veel succes en beterschap/sterkte.

Don't know whether to go sleep or binge-read another cow thread? Get milk or tea? Dedicate your remaining life time to Dr*ver or Dano, and don't want to keep any of those important decisions in Sanic-samas capable hands? Fret not–present your dilemma, let farmers burn some sage and have them take that burden off of your exhausted shoulders.
Keep US laws, and more importantly, TPO, in mind and don't ask whether to an hero or which fun method to use, we're not serious like that.

Also to add, whose career is more stable and has potential to grow? It sounds like your partner makes decent money if you're looking to buy, and I'm sorry to say that from the people I know in voice acting times are very tough right now. I wanted to be clear that just because I'm not sure buying a house is the best decision for you, I don't think throwing away what you currently have to chase a dream in LA is either. There is also the possibility that your area might get nicer/more amenities as people move in if you're patient. It's a lot to think about! Do you have any friends who've bought homes recently? Maybe talking to them would help.

No. 2497668

I think you should sell them on a local site and try to weed out any potential creeps and resellers, if I owned clothing like that I'd love for it to go to someone who has a true love and appreciation for it. But that's just me and I am sentimental, also could try joining j-fashion groups on FB and seeing who'd want to purchase.

No. 2497673

You're right, I do want the clothes to go to someone who would appreciate them, but my biggest fear in selling is for them to be snatched up by scalpers. I'll try to find a local or closed group to sell too.

No. 2497683

>>2497673
If you choose FB you could always clarify that, and also you could weed out the scalpers and creeps way easier that way! Whatever you choose I hope your items get to be appreciated the way they deserve!

I guess ultimately I'm happy to no longer be a NEET, but sometimes I wish I could quit my crappy wagie job and go back to being unemployed. I was even more broke than I am now and depressed, but I'm still depressed and poor now but also angry and stressed on top of it. The only reason I'm sticking it out is because I badly need work experience if I want a chance to move onto something better. I want to make it to at least six months before I quit.

I got it recently, was on the experience period and they said I wasn't a good fit.
I don't think it was that at all.

No one ever complained about me but this coworker, she'd complain about me constantly and mock and shit talk me to other people. One day I had a nervous breakdown after she decided to throw a tantrum because I wasn't doing my job the way she wanted, mind you, a job I was told to do by the leaders because this woman didn't want to do it, it was her job but as soon as she complained about it to the leaders they'd send someone else to do it or even do it themselves. I had to stop everything I was doing to help her.

For a bit of context, I used to work in the cold kitchen of an airport, they had a problem with the expiry date tags they put on the food and I had to take them out, I was told to do it by the leaders in the middle of my actual task which is time sensitive, I had 45 minutes to finish it but I had to stop everything because my coworker needed to use some of that food in the cold chamber and didn't want to replace the tags herself, so for some reason, amidst a sea of other women they could ask they decided to ask me, someone who was clearly busy, to do it. The coworker came in the cold chamber saying some nonsense and trying to teach me how to do the job she didn't want to do and I was fed up with her behavior, she was talking and talking and it was grating and taking out my focus and I just wanted to finish it to go back to my actual task. She acts like that with me since I first started, saying she is going to teach me how to do something but then she talks and talks, says if I have any questions I should just ask, but when I ask she says she won't repeat herself, then she complains I don't ask anything. It got to my ear she started telling my other coworkers I was lazy and stupid, I said nothing to her or anyone really but truth be told that made me feel like shit, but bottling it up only goes so far and I couldn't take it anymore, so I told her to shut the fuck up. It was literally that, "let me do my job and you do yours" then she starts talking some nonsense as if she is my boss and I told her "shut the fuck up you fucking asshole". The leaders didn't care to solve anything, they said it is how she is, that she's got a strong temper like it's normal and I gotta deal with it, then assurePost too long.

How do you find something you love and want to keep doing as a job forever? I know it's difficult, but I thought growing up I thought would love working as the thing I graduated as and it turns out that I don't really like it, not as a forever job at least. I've been reclutant to work in that field except for random odd jobs here and there because of this reason. I'm not passionate anymore, so it's hard to stay employed sometimes. Any tips or encouragement?

NTA but if you lost your job recently it's much easier to find another one. Start applying now and aim to send out 5+ applications a day, always apply through the company's site, not Indeed or other similar sites. Register with all the employment agencies you can find.

The horrible memories of my mom and dad telling me to kill myself came flooding back. I hate how I was the only person that was forced to "fix" myself and they stayed and only get worse. My dad would drive me home from school so he could see if I really had the guts to do it, and my mom told me she was waiting for the moment where I would finally do it. They both forgot about it, and I did to at some point. But I hate this, I want to forget everything. So many doctors and therapists tell me that feeling deeply is a gift that helps me in many situations but I just feel such excruciating pain towards myself and hatred towards everyone around me. I'm considering being put on the strongest mood stabilizers because it seems like the closest thing to a lobotomy. I can't even fucking kill myself now because my body has turned into a vessel for people to live through, I've lived 10 years of my life because my parents wanted me to do what they wanted, and now that i'm trying to pick up the broken pieces of my dreams I feel so fucking behind as everyone else around me is beginning to thrive.

That's just a shill on the same level as "live laugh love" or "depressed, just smile" thanks to pop psychology about "empaths". It's just to invalidate you. On the other side of the spectrum, narcs hear it and then get convinced they're such deep empaths.

I agree but it's still not always a thing. Like nonas here say a lot of them have high pitched, soft, girly/young voices that makes people read them as younger and/or immature. That soft-spokeness is something I see fairly often in females, and sometimes in males too.

The monotone voice is just one type of autist voice, and imo it's from those who have difficulty with sound who are basically "tone deaf". So if you don't have those auditory issues you don't get it.

I've also met a lot of loud autists, they're the opposite of monotone and are instead all over the place in volume and intonation. They instead exaggerate a lot and come off as passionate, a bit obnoxious or nearly aggressive.

The best tell is simply how they break social norms when speaking. Interrupting, not matching the tone/volume of the other speaker, the insistence of subject, talking about controversial topics without getting that it is controversial or sensitive.

No. 2498680

>>2497865
I mean yeah, it's not a 100% accurate analogy because most autists have some level of social skills, but CAN you really learn them though? I don't mean learning the theory, I mean learning to actually master them the way normies do. In my experience the autists that claim they learned social skills are either just retards who memorized a few friendly greetings and think that means "+1 social skill" when in reality they are oblivious to their own lack of skill and mistake normies treating them kindly out of pity as successful socializing, or they were not autistic to begin with but instead had some other kind of anxiety and got over it with exposure. Yes you can memorize social patterns but if you are actually autistic, you will always lack the effortless component in social perception. For normies, it's subconscious, they don't have to learn it, and spergs are unable to learn it. Even if you study fucking conversation analysis at uni and learn how an interaction proceeds turn for turn, you cannot learn to replicate it as a born-with-no-social-skill-component loser. It is kind of mesmerizing watching normies do it, they just know intuitively how it works. You will never be THAT.

You're acting like normies are some kind of masters at communication, when they fuck up literally all the time too. Not to mention if you plop in a single autist/other not following the script and then their brains short-circuit because they don't know what to do anymore. Heck, drop them in the wrong country and the social rules have changed again.
>Yes you can memorize social patterns but if you are actually autistic, you will always lack the effortless component in social perception.
Welcome to disability. Blind people cannot see, deaf people cannot hear, a person without legs cannot walk. What's the point in going "boohoo, I'm bad at a thing" when you even admit there are ways to compensate for it? Like yeah no the blind person isn't ever going to see but why cry about it when they can still get around just fine and have a great life. Should they instead wallow in self-pity and compare themselves to sighted people all day long? Spending your life focusing on what you can't do over hat you can do is pathetic and sad, but, it's your own life you're wasting and we can't stop you if that's how you want to live.
