any advice for someone starting to do draw again after a pretty big break? what should i start with?
i stopped drawing for almost a decade and i'm just now starting again. but i am realizing my skills have deteriorated bad. i kind of draw things as 'symbols' than actually thinking about them in a 3d space, you know? i want to get a fresh start and kind of learn to draw all over again. where should i start? i think i'm gonna give the 'drawabox' thing a go but other than that, what else can i do? i draw (or well, used to draw) mostly humans, food and still life, for reference. if anyone has any good art channels, i would like that. sorry if this is a very beaten down question. i just want a little help.

NTA but thank you for this post. I did try to watch the CS50 course but even after the first lesson I felt like I was just too fucking stupid to understand it. I will try again and try MIT's course and the book too!

>>1034031I'm glad you saw the post. I apologize for deleting it; I'm still a student, and I don't think I've yet earned the right to advise people about the "best" way to learn to code. I can tell you about the various ways that were shared with me, the ones that I've tried, and the ones I was advised…but I deleted the post because I didn't want to give anyone "unreliable" advice. But I'm glad you took something from it,
nonny. Good luck.
>>1034049Basically, this:
Try Harvard's CS50. Get through it, even if you don't solve all the problem sets. But if you're at your wit's end, just take MIT's Introduction to Programming Using Python. Then go to libgen, look for Grokking's Algorithms, and get it. It's really visual and easy to read–in fact, the "prose" is like similar to my post–so it should be easy to get through. You'll really learn by implementing though, so I'd advise watching the lecture, going to read the part of the book that discusses the lecture, and then continuing. Extra: google your missing CS semester, which will lead you to a MIT page. It's a course that gets you acquainted with all those tools everybody expects you to already know.
Then you can check out stuff like Colt Steele's webdev courses, which are pretty good. Maybe CS50 AI. It depends on what kind of stuff you want build/are interested in, but you can just look for resources online to test the waters and see what you're into.

Also are any of these free but guided courses? I have a hard time focusing and holding myself to learn at your own pace stuff, and my brain shuts off and avoids anything it deems too tedious. I really wanna force myself but it's so hard without structure.
I wanted to maybe try front end stuff first because it does seem a bit more useful and less complex than back end. Any thoughts on this?

Is drinking water over tea really going to make that much of a difference?? For context, I was telling my coworker that I frequently get UTIs. I'm not sexually active, and I've just been prone to them all my life. She tells me drinking water helps and points out that I usually just have tea in my tumbler instead. I refill my 32 oz tumbler like 2-3 times throughout the work day and it's usually tea, and at home I drink water (also out of a huge cup kek). Does it really make a difference? Also it's plain black and green tea if it matters.

How do you make friends naturally? I just wana make stuff for somebody who'd appreciate it without having them feel like they owe me something. It seems like every time I do this, it only pushes people away. Idgi and idk how to make a connection when contact is broken within a few days. Do i have to start following something very mainstream right now to make friends or should i become a mega hermit and talk to the walls?

>>1035554It’s kind of difficult tbh, you kind of had to click with someone to be friends with her/him naturally. You could be friends with someone after pushing a lot, but it will only tire you after a while. You just have to interact with people irl and then find someone who may click with you.
I’m honestly lucky because most of the times, the person I was talking to but that doesn’t click with me, has taken me directly to another group of people that has become friends with me.

I try to be a forgiving person in my life now and I try not to hold anger in my heart, but I'm sure it'd be very difficult to do that if one of my loved ones was murdered in cold blood. It'd be hard not to wish that fucker dead. But also, giving them the sweet release of death feels unjust. They're dead! Now what? I'm still here, grieving. My loved one won't return to me.

No. 1036470
>>1036456My strategy is to just ask them to do what you want them to do, but frame it in a way that’s like it’s something both of you could improve. Instead of saying “you left the toilet seat up” say “hey could we make sure we put the toilet seat down?” That will usually be enough for people who are completely adverse to criticism, because you’ve set a standard (toilet seat should be down) for which you COULD criticize them for, which would make them the bad terrible horrible unloveable person they think they are. Approach it like that every time, completely free of judgment and as if it’s the first time you’ve asked them to do it and then eventually it’ll be habitual for them.
Assuming it’s a moid because men are babies when it comes to criticism. If female/BPD idk if this would work but also women will go to therapy over any perceived flaw so that’s not exactly an unreasonable option.

Worst one I ran into immediately deflect me and saw my intervention as a literal Threat to them, it was frustrating how I'd have to play strict parent in friend groups with those types around.
I don't have actual good advice to this, though to OP: if your friend reacted badly to your criticism (even if you tried your best to curate your wordings), you can walk away and let your friend steam in their anger/defensive stage for some time, and check on them after to know if they're okay to talk again.
I think any sort of reassurance, and repeating yourself that you don't mean to devalue them as a person, which should at least keep them grounded.
No. 1036547
>>1036470>>1036499The thing is, it's kind of their issue and not something generalizable. It's like this:
> me kind of in a mood so am quiet and keeping to myself> sensitive person acts as normal, actually maybe overly chatty like keep talking about stupid ass shit (or maybe it just feels that way since I'm already in a mood)> I try to grey rock or just straight up say something like, "I'm kind of tired and don't want to talk right now."> sensitive person: Well OKAY THEN i'll just be quiet FROM NOW ON [pouts, withdraws]and it's like, that last part is so unnecessary and annoying as shit and I want to ask her to work on that but at that point she's already sensitive and withdrawing if I try to address it right away, or if I wait until later she brushes it off like "it's over, just drop it".
Maybe it's just me? I can't help the moodiness sometimes, but maybe I should stay by myself when that happens.
No. 1036550
>>1036547You sound like half the problem there. I get being in a mood, I'm introverted and in one almost constantly, that doesn't mean it's okay to tell people not to talk to you. If it's somewhere you can't avoid others (like work), you keep your annoyance to yourself and give boring replies so they leave you alone. If it was your choice to hang out with a friend, you fake nice because why are you even with them if you're not in the mood?
Have a little tact and don't assume your feelings trump everyone else's.
No. 1036568
>>1036547Disregarding the other replies and calling each other autistics. Just to be sure, this interaction still bothers you, correct?
I see it's as you tried to power through the normal convo with your friend, despite you were being withdrawal / in a bad mood. Friend was annoyed that you didn't mention it from the beginning, and saw your comment in midway of convo was disregarding her, and felt hurt by it.
Her response later "it's over, just drop it" can be expected. If it were me I'd see myself that moment as being immature & unfair to you, and I wouldn't want to admit it myself.
If this is a pattern of interaction between the two of you, and that it does matter to your relationship: Be persistent. Tell her that it is important for you two to put actions into context. And if conflicts like this happen again in the future, you two have matured enough to resolve it.
Hope my wording makes sense.
No. 1036614
>>1036603>don’t want to be laughed atYou probably know this already, but if you go in with that mindset, you’ll quit anything you try. If you’re that terrified of rejection that it would prevent you from doing something you want, it’s a problem.
And no, it’s not too late. Certainly, people who start early have an advantage because they grow into the flexibility. But that doesn’t mean you can’t train. There might even be a beginner class. All in all the best thing you can do is go in person and talk to an instructor, or send them an email. Worst case scenario It’s all professional ballerinas?

It is to make sure she can follow through what you meant by this question.
>so I should have been more honest from the beginning? I don't think it's a matter of being dishonest/trying to hide your friend from your bad mood. I see it's still a situation you didn't have much control over.
You can create a habit to ask each other how you're doing before a long form conversation. (This is what the kids called Vibechecking).
It's good that you're working on yourself / trying to be tact with her. I think you should prioritize yourself despite being sympathetic with your friend (she needs to put in efforts too!)

I guess this will be a long one but maybe some anon with some technical knowledge can help me.
I'm currently use my laptop that has since the beginning of this week the habit of freezing out of sudden. It usually starts with not be able to load websites. At first I thought my internet just being weird, but at the second time I couldn't click on any buttons. It won't switch off by itself when I close it, which would usually happen after a few seconds but it goes on and on and on until you push the power button for a moment by yourself. When I turn it on again, it usually works fine until the next time it freezes. Today I wanted to edit some photos on PS but as soon as I wanted to choose the pic, it froze whenever I clicked on a pic. This thing is already about ten years old, without any major problems until NOW. The CD drive has the habit of popping out by itself for a while now too, but never payed bigger attention to it because as mentioned, it's old and I just assumed that it is not working as it should because of it because I used that thing A LOT. Now I wonder: What could cause the problem? Could I fix it on my own? Or should I get a new laptop? If yes: Which one?

>>1037219OP may be referring to this article, which is a summary of a research paper entailing the price hike on electric bills caused by cryptominers.
"People are freezing because of NFTs" can be an overstatement, since I didn't find any article entailing specific cases. Though I have no doubt several communities are suffered due huge power consumption because of mining individuals.

>>1037260Funny part is cryptocurrency mining is magnitudes more energy expensive than minting NFTs, but we can't bully the tech bros about it so we need to harass artists trying to make a buck instead.
I think NFTs are bullshit because the majority of them are those picrew level shitty images, but I don't fault real artists trying to get in on the cash cow.
Besides I don't understand why they blame the artists for making NYC energy prices go up… Surely it's the city's responsibility to keep power affordable even with the spike in demand?
No. 1037318
>>1037291> Surely it's the city's responsibility to keep power affordable even with the spike in demand?It's more complicated than that anon. More power = more power plants. And the world is already struggling with trying to cut down on nuclear power plants (which contributes greatly to the greenhouse effect). Nuclear power plants are cheaper, affordable, and produce power faster than hydro power plant, windmills and solar panes.
Surely any environmentalist anon can explain better here, but power generation is something we learned in middle school.
It got me thinking of education system in North America (which is the only country that's full denial on climate change), the ignorance on greenhouse effect, co2 and o2 exchange and all that was something I'd have to draw graphs over during school.

If the Twitter tards are determined to call NFT artists capitalist pigs, why not use that attitude to criticize a city that cuts off people's heat rather than absorbing the cost of this unforeseen surge in demand?

As for the government part, it is not my place to comment about your country and its politicians since we are just anons on an imageboard. And they should do something the power usage imbalance. Doesn't mean that individuals cant speak out against crypto and the entire industry and its harmful impact on carbon footprints. I also need to mention that crypto was a scheme to create a currency outside of a government's inference, if there's not already privatized power plants industry.
To clarify myself again, this reply isn't to "dont bully politicians guys" more of me trying to explain how power distribution works. And the general consensus is to not use more Nor generate more power, either.

>>1039512Not a short video, but I’m giving you a guide! A
nonny-guide, if you will.
Discord is basically like Whatsapp or Facebook messenger, except anyone can join those group chat. A large public “group chat” is called a server, which is marked as bright green in picrel. There are discord servers for everything: studying streams, science, art, musicians, venting, mental illness support groups, finance, coding, anything. You join these servers by a link that you find tossed anywhere on the internet, OR someone could send it to you as an invite.
Inside a server there are channels, which you’ll find by swiping right on your screen. Look at the red arrow where there is a “general”. That’s a channel, called general. Channels help organize the server a bit by carving out designated spaces for discussion. For example, if it’s a music server, you could have a rock server, a jazz server, and a classical server. You click on any of these servers and start talking about said subject. At first, though, the design can be a bit hectic and confusing, which is why I recommend joining only one server for and trying to get used to it.
Blue arrow points to bar on the left, which contains all of the users in that servers. Users can have “ranks”, which is a fancy way of saying title or status. If you were on a lolcow discord, ranks could be “
nonny”, “nonita”, “nonatellabella”. On a mental illness discord, it’d be something like, “BPDfag”, “anachan”, and “schizo”. You get the jest.
Pink arrow points to search bar, which you could use to search for a user’s interactions, or a word mentioned in that channel. Say you were talking about cake, and you can’t find that conversation, you just pop in “cake” inti the search bar and it takes you to the channel where you had this convo.
Purple arrows point to you. You don’t have much of a “profile”, like on Twitter or Facebook. You have a name tag, a pic, and a nickname. People can add you as a friend and chat with you one-on-one. You can also do video calls and voice calls, and there are voice channels in each server where anyone can hop in, unless admin made a channel private. You can’t access it unless they send you an invite. That’s pretty much it.

>>1039550I think her quirky poop-emoji-latex-pinup-girl style was a cultural moment and kind of the end of the Britney kind of pop star. She was competing with Lady Gaga who didn't need a team of execs to be quirky, and Beyonce who was an actual icon, and Rihanna who was edgy. She didn't mobilize the internet like Tay Swift and the others did,because she was so manufactured she didn't really have a strong community who had other things in common besides liking her. No online stans = losing cultural relevance.
She had a good run but at the end of the day Katy is a performer, not an artist, and most women singers who last more than a few years are writing and producing, or at least have a strong brand people can identify with. What was Katy Perry even about, what were her songs about? Having fun and summer love, shit that could have been sung by anybody. It's surprising she made it as far as she did.

I'm an English major and have been involved with the Japanese community for a while in my state (US) so I wasn't too concerned about the SoP, but the reference letters were a bit stressful just because they were out of my hands.

Any anons here with ADD or ADHD? I took one of my husband’s Adderall to see what it would do and basically I felt nothing. I took a nap about an hour after taking it, but other than that I haven’t really felt any different than usual. No hyper focusing or any extra energy.

I am going to shave my head before the start of february (had shit thin sparse hair in the first place since birth, lost like 1/3rd of it overnight due to extreme stress last year)
I know hair gummies and such are a scam, but are there any actually helpful nutrients or remedies for growing hair? I don't care about length and shit, I just want to at least grow back what I have lost in terms of amount of induvidual hairs.
Going bald as a 27 year old woman sure sounds like "fun", ugh.

I need your opinions on housing. Soon I’m moving to a new state to start a new job. I’ve never lived there before and don’t know anyone in the area. It’s expensive so I’ll only be able to afford a studio apartment or sharing a house with other people. Which of those should I do? House sharing is cheaper; i might spend 30% less on rent rather than being maxed out at 1/3 of my gross salary. I also might be less likely to be lonely. HOWEVER, after six years of living with strangers I’m sick of it. I’m tired of my stuff getting damaged and people not cleaning up after themselves. I’ve never had roommates I was particularly close with either. What should I do?

>>1040269How long has it been since your hair fell out? Usually extreme stress causes hair loss by forcing the hair into the catagen phase prematurely. But that’s the case it should start to grow back after resting (telogen). If it’s been many months and the hair’s not starting to grow back there may be some other health problem going on.
I dealt with trichitillomania for many years and wouldn’t wish hair loss on any girl.

Balding nona over here again.
I somehow got a job interview. Tomorrow. Wasn't expecting one surely.
My hair is… really bad now. I already decided on shaving, but should I shave before the interview? I doubt I'd get the job either way, but I want to look the best I possibly can and I wonder if the best I can currently manage is "obviously balding" or "consciously shaved her head".
What's your opinions on this? Maybe someone in hr can help me out?

>>1040323I'm currently living in a studio after spending the last few years moving from share house to share house. Honestly, you'll save yourself money in the long run if you choose to live by yourself in the studio.
The way i figure this is that you're using less power/water/etc then if you were in a bigger house with others, but also if you get roommates you don't like then you won't be spending much time at home, which means you'll be spending that money somewhere else.
I want to stress that, because if you're like me (an autist) I cannot be truly comfortable around random people, so I'd often stay out late after work, stay at friends houses instead of my own. Transport fees alone take a chunk from that. Living on my own I barely leave the house now, and I've saved a lot of money because of it. The initial costs of moving into a studio (furniture, bond, etc) are worth it when you take into account your overall sanity and comfort in your own home.

No. 1040596
I'm going to attempt a serious reply as someone who grew up in a similar asian culture, I don't think it's inherently pedophiliac, it's a combination of kids are cute + good looking kid + not being around white people enough, I imagine the average reaction if they were to ever meet this boy irl would be similar to vidrel (skip to 4:49, the woman realizes the boy can speak korean and goes, "Then you must've understood me when I said you were good looking!")
That's not to say it doesn't happen though,
>>1040548 mentioned Death in Venice, and you can find info on the child actor's (Björn Andrésen) struggle with being seen and sexualized as a pretty boy, but not by the Japanese, specifically. Here's an excerpt about how his image impacted Japanese Shojo art styles:
>After the release of Death in Venice, Andrésen spent an extended period of time in Japan and appeared in a number of television commercials and also recorded several pop songs. It is said that his appearance as Tadzio in the film influenced many Japanese anime artists (known for their depictions of young, effeminate men known as "Bishōnen"), especially Keiko Takemiya. Andrésen has had a strong liking for Japan since then and has visited the country again over the years. Björn Andrésen's arrival in Tokyo has been described as being similar to the Beatles landing in the U.S. The young actor was met with mass hysteria and received an enormous amount of female attention.I think it's more of an aesthetics thing (look at this ethereal looking boy!) than a weird pedo thing overall, it's happened in their history.
Also,
>>1040548>please don't call IRL child a bishounen or whateverlol what? I agree on not sexualizing children but bishounen literally just means pretty boy. It has no inherent sexual connotations. Go back to twitter if you want to police innocent words.

If the savings are not substantial and you have a financial cushion getting a studio makes sense.
>>1040250Time and maturing was biggest factor for me. Make time in the day and become comfortable with your body and masturbating. Sexual thoughts and sex are normal parts of life as human beings. Reading from women who dealt with religious abuse or trauma might be helpful, along with accounts from people who left your specific faith and why they stopped believing or on the flip side, why they still do. The effects are similar betweens faiths but experiences slightly differ between Catholics, growing up in Evangelical Purity Culture, etc.
>i feel like some bad things that happen to me are some form of punishment for having those thoughts and not being good enoughLooking up how to deal with intrusive or OCD thoughts could provide some insight. If you don't believe in the religion anymore, then you know these thoughts are a manifestation of guilt and insecurity. When you have them make sure to remind yourself of it, so over time the thoughts have less power. Recovering from religious indoctrination and guilt takes time and compassion towards yourself, wish you the best anon.

Her sugar daddy, boyfriend and camming studio co owner also came to the camgirls thread to tell me I am jealous because she is competition. I am not even a camgirl anymore and I don't care about that industry since it is evil and in Eastern Eu it doesnt work like in western countries. In Eastern Eu you have camming studios and sex trafficking. In western countries girls actually become independent camgirls. Mainstream society thinks it is based and the scrotes encourage it and if you actually speak the truth like I do ppl will call you insane, schizo or jealous. Sad and miserable world we live in.

Is this weird? I have this “friend” and I don’t understand her. She used to spend time with me, invite me to outings, introduced me to all her friends, told me I’m part of the “girl club” now, talked to me about her abusive mom and crazy dad and showed me family pictures, and told me all about her boyfriend. All of this within the span of a week or two.
I know two things: people who like you, and people who tell you to fuck off. And her I can’t pin down. She stopped talking to me, and started ignoring my texts. I wouldn’t even talk to her, I’d just check up on her and send her internship applications and be like, “Hey, I think you’d be great for this!”A week ago she randomly texted me and told me to wait for her outside a place because she needed a mask, and I always have extra ones on me. I was late for something but I waited anyways and gave it to her. After I was done I called to check on her and she said she already went home. This is like the 100th time she does something weird like this and I’m not sure if I’m being retarded and she doesn’t like me or what. Is this like something people do all the time?

I see afterpay a lot for a lot of non-necessities, which is why I believe if you can't afford it all at once, then don't buy it. I think it can encourage unhealthy spending habits and overconsumption and preys on people who tend to impulse buy and fool them into thinking they are well within their budget. Well I'm only paying $25 a month on this haul so I have more money to spend elsewhere! And it repeats.
Maybe there's a time and a place for it to be useful, especially for those living paying to paycheck, but I don't like it. I don't see the point in installment loans for anything short of a car, or student loans. Maybe for big home appliances like a fridge/stove/laundry machines… but even then I'd hesitate. I want to buy things outright.

With the assumption you’re not living hand to mouth, usually people set aside a certain percentage of their paycheck to their savings. I put 50% of my paycheck away and won’t touch my savings for anything besides the down payment I made on my house a few months ago and now just vet bills. If I wanted idfk a Peloton or something it doesn’t fall within my self-imposed monthly budget, but it does in two months’ budgets.

>>1045560>high and low sex drives>which is usually no oneYou get how retarded that sounds, right? How is anyone going to have a completely isolated, directioness high sex drive? Horny doesn't exist in a vaccuuum, something will cause it and something will sate it, and if your genitals are working then so is your libido.
If asexuals want anyone to take them seriously they need to get a fucking grip and come up with a consistent narrative. First it's that they don't have sex drives at all, then it's that they masturbate but don't want sex with people, then it's that they're happy to have sex with people they just don't enjoy it, then it's that they are attracted to people and do want sex with them but it's infrequent so they're ~grey asexuals~, now you're really trying to say high sex drives are totes asexual provided it's not for anyone in particular. Ffs you retards could just say you have a low sex drive and it would make perfect sense, it would need no elaboration and science would back you up 100%. But no, you have to turn it into some convoluted made up bs to include every special snowflakes personal sexual tendencies in the definition.
No. 1045584
>>1045576Idk if you know this anon but our body chemistry and personal attraction is unique to us, and labelling sexuality often causes these pedantic arguments when neither you, nor I am asexual ourselves. I'm only speaking on this because I've met a few asexual people before with varying degrees of drive.
Ultimately it makes sense in my head because it's been explained to me, that an ace person can look at someone and not "feel" anything down there, but their body chemistry and hormones just get them feeling that "itch" sometimes without any real outward stimuli.
Of course it's different for everyone, a lot of them don't feel any drive at all.
No. 1045590
>>1045584>our body chemistry and personal attraction is unique to usIf it's so unique then the label is meaningless and it's not a real thing. Meanwhile, straight/gay/bisexual are not unique between individual and is easily defined and there is no real variance between what it means for those people.
>>1045588That was never my point. Low libidos can be natural, due to medication, caused by health issues or stress or whatever, idgaf if it's natural or abnormal or w/e. Having such a low sex drive that it's basically non existent is a very understandable, proven concept. But it's not special enough for asexuals so they came up with their own vague, ill defined label that none of them can agree on because it's not a legitimate sexual orientation, just individual sex drives and attitudes towards sex.

hi nonies i need help with deciding on a color repainting a smoker's den, cause i want to finally repaint the walls in my apartment
the walls were white but it hasn't been painted in years and since there used to be smokers living here - i noticed that not only the walls but the white of the matt white furniture have also turned slightly yellow. st first i wanted just repaint the walls white and be done with it but now i'm afraid that fixing the walls is just going to make the discolored white (yellowed) furniture stand out even more and then that is going to bug me. buying new furniture is not an option.
i feel like putting some warm tones in the white paint might help. i had the idea to maybe just put the tiniest bit of color when paiting to make it a bit more of a cream color, but what if that ends up looking gross too?
my floors are also a warm/light color - i have no blue/purples anywhere in my space as i like to keep it neutral and balanced and cozy, i feel like cooler tones might end up giving too much visual contrast to the space that i wouldn't like.

>>1046446Depends on genetics and the current state of your teeth but I only purged once a day for under a year as a teenager, took otherwise very good care of my teeth, thought I got away just fine for years, and then had to watch my back molars start to crumble out of nowhere from what an orthodontist later described as "probably hidden structural damage," whatever that was supposed to imply. The rest of my teeth are perfectly fine (currently, hopefully) because of how obsessively I always maintained them, but because of the acid damage on my back molars, I ended up in a shit ton of pain, nearly got sepsis, lost two molars, and had to pay thousands of dollars. I was living somewhere my insurance didn't cover and couldn't make the drive out to the only orthodontist in the area even if it did, so I tried putting off getting them checked out for maybe a month until I could go home and go to my own dentist, and in the final couple days I was barely functional from the tooth aches. Had to pay extra, even with insurance, to have them put pig bone spacers where they removed the molars so my jaw/face wouldn't collapse back without them. I'd have to pay even more to have fake teeth put in, but I can't afford it.
I got lucky, because the two I lost can only be seen if I'm actively trying to show someone I don't have them. My teeth are pretty sensitive, but at least I think I'll get to keep the rest of them. I know of women who had the stomach acid rot the backs of their front teeth, so it's not like you can bet on just losing the hidden ones. Honestly, puking hardly saves you any calories even if you do it "perfectly" and it's probably the most harmful way of trying to lose weight.

>>1046474If someone needed you to do something and you weren't able to get it done because of your ADHD flaring up, your ADHD could just be an explanation, but if you never start looking into ways to treat or cope with your ADHD, to figure out a way to do better next time, or if you knew beforehand that your ADHD was going to be a problem and you didn't say anything or try to prepare for it, then it becomes an excuse.
For me, the major difference is just that an excuse is less about why the thing did or didn't happen and more about what they can say to get out of the consequences of their own behavior, and it's probably one in a pattern of excuses. An explanation is a courtesy, it's meant to inform you of the circumstances while they try to deal with them, and I think as long as they're actually trying (or if there's quite literally nothing they could do) then I wouldn't get on their ass about making excuses. To go off the ADHD example, I wouldn't mind a friend being late to something important because she forgot to take her meds this one time and time got away from her, but I would start to mind if a friend was regularly late to important things because they kept forgetting their meds and never made a serious attempt to keep it from happening again.

Is this coffee worth the price and the hassle? Or does it taste like any other coffee and it’s just pretty and a flex? I want to give it a try someday, but the few times I’ve passed by the hotel I never had the chance to get a reservation and whatnot.

>>1049748i don't believe so. those bitches have a lot of explaining to do. so you mean to tell me you ENJOY the feeling of holding a turd inside of you, essentially? hold a dookie inside yourself for a while, that's the shit you want to feel while cumming? yeah sure. that's fucked up and i do not believe it, this is all psychologically/socially induced.
>inb4 "b-b-but there are nerves in/around it!!" maybe, but there are more nerves in/around the vagina, you know, the area meant to accomodate penetration and that is far less likely to be damaged by penetration

>>1049987No idea if this is advice that should be given, but I shamed myself into it. Like, I'm not self loathing all the time or anything, but I managed to get into the head space that I'm genuinely disappointed in myself when I slack off. It's not shame as in "omg you're so stupid you'll never amount to anything" but the sober kind of shame where you
know you can do better, so why did you waste your precious time on not doing it properly the first time around?

How do I stop looking ridiculous when I'm focused? I'm one of those people that sticks my tongue out when I'm concentrating AND for whatever reason I curl my arm into my chest, kind of like a person who has had a stroke or has cerebral palsy. So almost the whole day while I'm working I have my tongue out and my arm all curled up like a chicken wing. I could handle if I just stuck my tongue out, though that's still embarrassing because it's something most people grow out of when they get older. I only care now because I'm no longer working remote and so everyone can see me spazzing out.

>The woman who had started it all was Janea Padilha, a diminutive sixtysomething grandmother from the Bahia region of eastern Brazil—one of seven enterprising sisters (along with Judseia, Jussara, Juracy, Jocely, Joyce, and Jonice). After they opened their own New York salon in 1987, Janea decided three years later to introduce the Brazilian wax: a nude nether region, back and front, topped off by a frontal “landing strip,” or by a simple design or triangle, or by nothing at all. It proved to be a thunderous success.https://www.vanityfair.com/style/2017/09/secret-history-of-the-brazilian-wax-the-naughty-nineties>Yet that began to change when bikinis in Brazil got smaller in the 70s and 80s and the beaches in Rio de Janeiro began to fill up with women in thong-bottom bikinis. As bottoms got smaller, exposed skin area became bigger and women started to wax almost all the pubic region to ensure smooth, clear skin around the bikini with no pubic hair poking out.https://theculturetrip.com/south-america/brazil/articles/the-story-behind-how-the-brazilian-wax-got-its-name/ No. 1050675
