>>1690586Sleep happens when several cognitive centers get disconnected and your ego no longer maintains a connection between them and thus dissipates, but these cognitive centers by themselves always remain active, only connections dissipate. If several cognitive centers remain connected during sleep, dreaming happens, if all the centers are disconnected, deep, dreamless sleep happens. Although during dreaming state your ego has mostly dissipated it still manifests from connections between cognitive centers that have remained connected and you're able to remember what you dream, but since its disconnected from the other centers you cannot experience what they are doing during that time. In your case what they are doing is having a little nightmare of their own, with their own little dreaming ego that you don't remember, because only one you can exist at a time.

Just finished watching Leaving Neverland and I'm disturbed but also confused. Just wtf was MJ's sexual orientation? Was he straight, gay or bi? He seemed to be at least somewhat attracted to women with his crush on Diana Ross and Wade mentioning his obsession with Britney Spears (saying how 'sexy and beautiful' she was), but then again, all of his victims seemed to be boys, not girls. Both James and Wade mentioned MJ trying to move things to 'the next level', as they grew up to their teens with stuff like anal. Was he just a repressed and deeply warped and fucked up bisexual man from his years of abuse at the hand of his father?

victims. Even if he wanted to assault girls, it would have been slightly more difficult to convince parents to let them come and stay at his compound with other boys.
Sadly, I think some parents would have had no issue putting their daughters in harm's way to get close to him. No. 1691266

Is having feminine decor on your car considered dangerous? I got a brand new car and I want to decorate inside it, kinda like picrel but less extreme.
I live in a very safe area but I still worry that if a creep or something saw a car decked out in pink stuff (on the inside, no bumper stickers) that would put me at way more risk.
I see some women just say to decorate it anyways and it's not additional risk, but others think it could be.

Am I overreacting if I think this is an absolutely retarded reason to ban somebody? I posted this in response to someone getting banned for mentioning that Bulgarian guys are hairy or ugly or something. That anon got banned for racebait. Then I posted this, because it really is stupid that jannies think Bulgarians are a race, that anyone would take offense at Bulgarian males being made fun of, and that mentioning Bulgarian (MALES) at all in a negative way counts as racebait. Then this gets banned as bait? Are jannies all sensitive children or something? Does anyone else feel like this site is being painful to use because any and every shitpost gets banned for "bait"? And yet infighting will go on for hours because jannies are sleeping, but if you mention males from anywhere on earth it's racebaiting. Or if you make a post the jannies don't like it's bait. How is this bait? Baiting anons into saying what exactly? Baiting an argument?

Mr. Nobody - a family man seeks revenge after his family is robbed and assaulted, turns out he isn’t just an average guy. Pretty heavy on the macho shit.
Avengement - a man is betrayed by his brother and sent to a nightmarish prison, he escapes and seeks his brother out. Brutal fight sequences, very ufc inspired.
Hard Candy - a teenage girl seeks answers about her missing best friend, will she herself become a
victim? No full on knock, down drag out fights but that’s because the protag is a tiny girl. Psychological torture.
Double Jeopardy - a woman is sentenced to prison for killing her husband, only she didn’t do it. Oldie but one of my favs, kind of a court drama/political intrigue.
Peppermint - a woman’s family is murdered and she’s the only survivor, when the court system fails her she takes matters into her own hands. Typical revenge movie that doesn’t have her pulling punches, still has her throwing them though.
Columbiana - a young girl watches as her family is killed by the local crime family, she escapes to America where she dedicates herself to becoming a contract killer in order to have her revenge. Male gaze heavy, leans more on the spectrum of punisher with its violence.

I'm not friends with her anymore, but now I see she identifies as a rat boy whatever that means. But anyway I see posts of hers talking about having a "narcissistic mother" which is hilarious because I knew her mom when we were friends and she talked about her alot, she was never "narcissistic" she was extremely kind, patient, and worried about her daughter. She would even call me sometimes to see if she was with me when she'd run away. Even in highschool she would complain about her being a bit overbearing out of concern but never what she claims about her now.

Even in highschool her complaints were the same, if she was hitting her she would've been telling everyone about it. I remember her mom raised her voice with her twice and she wouldn't stop saying how her mom verbally abused her, I was with her on the phone during one of the times and it was literally just her mom crying and saying "please not in the house, I am begging you, if you're going to smoke just please not in the house" and it was because her room was next to her little sisters and the smoke would drift into her room, and that was what she considered "verbal abuse" kek

victims to recognize themselves.
>>1694802losing childhood friends and not processing it is hard and can be traumatizing in that way of simply not being processed. in a lot of these cases it's probably more than simply that, but like i said it reflects more issues around insecurity and relationships they have in their lives. it's annoying people use psychiatric language and diagnoses to describe basic emotions, but that's the language that comes off as meaningful in society to communicate distress where distress is regularly pathologized.
>>1694805i was going to add to
>>1694798 that it may or may not be the case she was abused and i only wanted to make a reminder that how people treat others does not necessarily extend to how they treat other people. she does sound awful and immature don't get me wrong but i still would assume the mother failed as a parent or is disconnected from her daughter to end up like this. a lot of what therapists critical of the affirmation model mention is genuinely bettering and building stronger relationships with kids, regardless if they continue to identify as trans or not.

>>1695148Why are you trying to get a diagnosis? Most of the time, a diagnosis won't help you unless you really have that disorder and getting treatment (like behavioral theraphy for bpd) requires that diagnosis. If you're trying to get diagnosed for disability pay or something, it might be easier or harder depending on your country but even then, having a diagnosis like that can be a bad influence if you get in certain medical or legal situation where your disorder can and WILL be used against you.
I hope you don't have a serious condition and if you do, I hope you manage to get the medical attention you deserve. Take care.
>>1695180You can get it dissolved, that's what I said. You can't do that for a bbl and a breast implant has to be taken out surgically which are both much more serious than dissolving a filler, even if its migrated.
I'm in Healthcare, trust me I know more than a person who thinks your body attacks filler and ages you, kek.
No. 1695187
>>1695129It might in a minority of cases, but this is an anomaly as fillers are generally made out of substances found in our own bodies. Your own body can have an immune response against itself so it's not something that only happens with injections or foreign bodies.
I'm tired of the misinformation on fillers and plastic surgery that some anons like to scare others with. Nobody should get filler unless they absolutely 100% want to and it shouldn't be a prerequisite to feeling pretty but it's not like their face will melt if they get injections, and plastic surgery isn't inherently evil (unless you want acid attack and dog mauling
victims to walk around being stared at like freaks for the rest of their lives).
>inb4 um ackshually it will because filler migratesImproperly injected, bad quality filler in certain areas migrates. Not all filler ever. A proper doctor will not inject filler into places prone to migration.

>>1695187I’ve never heard anyone criticize reconstructive plastic surgery for
victims of burns or disfiguring accidents though. Plastic surgery has been pushed on everyone and lauded as a magical way to turn back the clock, and people are only now starting to wake up to how dangerous it is, and it looks awful a lot of the time anyway. The plastic surgery industry and plastic surgeons themselves are predatory, manipulative, and misogynistic. Filler does age people, even plastic surgeons themselves admit to it. Everyone always looks worse with filler, unless they’re elderly and already experienced facial volume loss.

>>1695193I agree that it's being pushed too much but I'm talking about lolcow.
>Everyone always looks worse with fillerYou only say this because prominent botched celebrities are the only ones that you know got it for sure. There's lots of people around you every day that have had filler but you can't tell. And it's not like they'll tell you, because you're going to call them a fake plastic bimbo anyway. Because as much as plastic surgery is pushed, people are still bullying those who do get it instead of the doctors for shilling it and there are social repercussions for admitting to having it.
>>1695199Because 1) they inject too much in too short of a time period and the doctors they go to aren't very good at it, 2) they start too young, 3) there is a different standard wrt what is considered a good job in different parts of the world and Hollywood is a league of its own when it comes to beauty standards which is why so many perfectly beautiful stars go under the knife in the first place. Just like some people love "Russian lips", others find them awful looking.
If you want to see normal-looking filler, you can go to the photo gallery and testimonials page of a good clinic and look for what interests you. Lots of nice examples and lots of perfectly normal looking people.

They're probably highschool dropouts who read a few made up stuff on conspiracy theory websites and assume they know more than doctors.

Anybody can get fillers. They'll also have to pay to get them dissolved, then watch their faces and lips deflate like nikocado's asshole, kek. "Practitioners" will really have some poor (or rich) woman's shit collapsing, and charge her extra for the honor. All these industries love making people uglier, it mean they'll keep coming back. Even worse when they start victim blaming whenever other people notice the results, and give fake promises like "It won't happen to you, that person just went too far, they should've done xyz, trust me haha. Oh, another woman did xyz and the exact same terrible result happened to her? Well, you know, everyone's body is different! Don't blame us, that's the customer's choice (even though we purposely tried to mislead people at every turn for $$$)". I hate how scammy so many beauty procedures are, it's disgusting.

>>1695214>they inject too much in too short of a time period and the doctors they go to aren't very good at itTy for explaining, most of what you said makes a lot of sense. But I have to disagree with them going to doctors who aren't very good at it, there's no way people like the Kardashians or rich others are going to shitty doctors. The rest of their surgery is decent looking except the fillers, same with a lot of other celebrities. Although like you said it makes sense theirs looks fucked cause they started too young, got too much too fast, and you brought up the standards being different in Hollywood which makes a lot of sense, like they probably get a lot of filler to look good in shooped photos and on their tv show as opposed to looking good face to face or walking by on the street.
>If you want to see normal-looking filler, you can go to the photo gallery and testimonials page of a good clinic and look for what interests you. Lots of nice examples and lots of perfectly normal looking people. The only thing makes me
sus about that is they usually only use photos taken hours, days, or weeks after the filler is done and I've heard that it can look very different over the course of a month or so. Also because they're a business they're only going to show their best results as a sort of advertisement. That being said I probably will get filler eventually because I have pretty deep circles under my eyes that are sort of hollowing out already, and one of my eyes has a tear trough but not the other and it drives me nuts kek

>>1695238AYRT, I've never had undereye filler (and am kind of wary of it since it's a very tricky spot, so the wrong injector can really fuck it up) but I've had filler in other places and it looks good depending on which filler you get and how it's done, as well as your own bone structure, fat distribution etc.
My first time I got nasolabial filler which
did migrate because it's soft tissue and an area that moves a lot. I got it redone at another clinic after a year and that time around the doctor injected the cheekbone only, but the filler was reabsorbed. Then I went to a third clinic and this time they did it right, it looked wonderful. This was all with one to 1,5 years in-between btw, and that was the only procedure I've ever had (so no Botox, surgeries and so on).
It's worth noting that all the ladies at the reception looked naturally gorgeous at the third clinic, as did the doctor treating me, which won me over after I commented on it and they listed all the things they had done kek.

No. 1695300
>>1695280Good to know, I've been thinking about the nasolabial area as well but that's the one that scares me the most because of people like Kylie who have that sort of cat like puffy upper mouth and cheek area kek. But it's nice to hear about positive experiences with it, my cousin got hers done once as well and it looked awesome, very subtle too. But she didn't get any more after that and it sort of dissolved over time so I'm not sure if she wasn't happy with it or just didn't want to continue getting it done. Every 6 months seems really frequent to me too, if I were to get it done I'd probably let it dissolve almost completely before getting more just to avoid any potential migration or overfilling. And yeah I've heard about how difficult the eye area can be, and that tear troughs are especially difficult to treat and can actually make it worse sometimes so I probably wouldn't get any eye stuff done until much later in life. Thanks so much for explaining this to me and letting me know about your experience with it.

>Medical textbooks, for example, teach childbirth based on a pelvic shape common to European women yet highly variable among women of other ethnicities, increasing their risk of obstetric intervention, the report said.
>Many doctors also learn, incorrectly, that Black people feel less pain because of thicker skin and are less likely to experience postpartum hemorrhage because their blood clots more quickly, the report added.https://batten.virginia.edu/about/news/black-americans-are-systematically-under-treated-pain-why>In one study Trawalter and her collaborators designed, members of the NCAA Division I medical staff read a case concerning a student athlete with a torn ACL. Participants were randomly assigned either a Black student or a white one, with everything else about the case remaining the same. They then answered questions about the case (How painful was the injury, on a scale of 1-4?) and questions designed to measure their own racial attitudes (Do you agree or disagree? Irish, Italians, Jews, and other minorities overcame prejudice and worked their way up. Blacks should do the same without any special favors.)
>As the researchers predicted, participants generally assigned lower pain ratings to the Black students. Surprisingly, however, there was no correlation between participants’ answers to the questions about their racial attitudes and the pain ratings they gave Black patients (relative to white patients). In other words, “even participants who have very positive racial attitudes show this bias,” Trawalter said. Maybe
you weren't taught that, but it is a recognized problem. Ignoring and denying it helps no one. Tons of black women have talked about experiencing this from doctors, too.

https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/1049732320931430>Racism operates through complex mechanisms, compromising social support which has an effect on health status and access to health care (Karlsen & Nazroo, 2002b). Institutional racism can also lead to the identification and reification of ethnic minority groups as different (Miles, 1989), as well as their social and economic exclusion (Paradies et al., 2015). In health care, racism has been shown to be associated with health service use outcomes such as lack of adherence to treatment uptake and delay in receiving adequate health care (Ben et al., 2017). In Sweden, for example, foreign-born patients have been shown to be less likely to receive adequate care in regard to heart failure medications as well as receiving lower rates of beta blockers than medically recommended (National Board of Health and Welfare, 2008). Asian and Black patients were found to be less likely to receive kidney transplant compared with White patients in a study in 36 European countries (Tjaden et al., 2016). Perceived racism is associated with lack of trust in health care and with refraining from seeking health care (Wamala et al., 2007).
>The conundrum of accessibility to health care resources was described by another participant, a Swedish woman of Somali origin who discussed how her labor pain was not taken seriously, leading to the worst sort of outcome, despite her repeated efforts to get help.
>Sometime back I was pregnant and I went to the maternity/delivery hospital because of severe pains and they sent me back home, saying that I was not ready (to give birth). The next day I stopped feeling the baby’s movement and the contractions stopped, so I was worried (. . .) I went to the hospital that evening again, this time I had excruciating pains and they told me that the baby is asleep and you are only 5 centimetres open. They called the doctor and they ran some tests and told me that they think the baby is either dead in my stomach or it is sleeping. So we will check to confirm and then see what to do, either to operate you when the baby is sleeping and/or do a procedure if the baby is dead.
>The participant also spoke of other women with Somali background in Sweden who had lost their babies, as they were not offered adequate antenatal care. Even though it is not possible to prove that this rationing of care is a result of “race” as it is often veiled, it works through invisible processes of (non)selection, with tangible effects on individuals. Often minority ethnic women’s expressions of pain in health care encounters are seen as exaggerated and overly emotional (Bowler, 1993) and therefore rationed as a non-priority. We argue that experience such as that described by the above-mentioned participant should not merely be seen as an isolated case but should be situated in the broader context in Sweden where it has been shown that women from Sub-Saharan African countries have statistically significant higher perinatal mortality rate compared with the general population (Essén et al., 2000).And as the other anon said, this isn't even about race alone. Women all over the world have had fucked up experiences. Plastic surgery is one of the worst, it's often where you go if you want to get lied to, botched, and then gaslit.

>>1698491I think it's the same across all sexualities. There's usually a delineation where manual sex (handjobs, fingering) and oral sex (blowjobs, cunnilingus, anilingus) do not constitute loss of virginity, but intercourse or frotting do. Once you get into less common sex acts (figging, mammary intercourse, etc), or conservative/Christian couples who specifically use intercrural sex to "stay virginal", is where it gets a little hazy. Essentially, two schools of thought: the first is that only "genital to genital contact" results in loss of virginity. The second is engaging in any sex acts means someone is no longer a virgin.
So for lesbians, either any form of sex is a loss of virginity (including getting eaten out as in your example), or she is no longer a virgin once she engages in tribadism or vaginal penetration with a strap-on. Pick your poison.

OK, that's just like your opinion man and that shit wasn't true, isn't true and that situation cannot happen again and I am my own fucking person, who is responsible of my own emotions and future, past wasn't my fault, it doesn't benefit me in any way to slip into the depression trauma spiral. Yeah I'm not at the same place in life as my peers but hey, they didn't go through what I did and I live for myself and put myself first always. It took over a decade to get to where I am now but I think the main things are: It cannot happen again, the awful things done and said have already been done, even though it feels illogical to you, it wasn't your fault, they shouldn't have done that, it wasn't normal. The only one who suffers from you feeling worse than others is you, fake it till you make it if you must, but your brain telling you you somehow suck because others treated you like shit? Doesn't really make sense, sounds like sabotage, you know what you are. Hugs to you nona, it can get so much better and you're okay.

It sounds silly because it's called "The British Museum" but it's purposefully multicultural, that much is clear on its website. A giant collection, constant exhibitions. It's its USP in the most tourist heavy areas of Britain.

Until she said shit like “ur squat isnt the worst” (even though it was good) and “you’re probs not flexible enough for a squat” (even though i can squat and do the split?…) and then contradicts herself when she said she squats differently from the other girl because every body is different…idk, her tone of voice was also just rude.

>>1703275I’m gonna get shit for this but here we go. It’s common for both sexes. Even other long-term monogamous animals (birds) of both genders have been shown to frequently cheat on each other. Males might do it at a higher rate than us, but with women’s increased sexual and socio-echonomical freedom we are catching up with them. It sucks, but working on your co-dependency and internalizing that all humans have the capability of acting selfish helps.
I used to be in a relationship where the sex was mediocre but I stoically held on, while he ended up cheating on me. Right now I have a new moid where sex is off the charts good and he’s an all around great person, but honestly now that I am no longer with my oneitis, even I feel kind of intimidated by the prospect of only being with this guy for the rest of my life. Like I love good sex and it’s not something that keeps me up at night, but will it be as good 20 years down the road kek. Who knows. Maybe it keeps on giving, maybe we lose the passion. I think it’s better to have realistic expectations, patience with your partner and communicate your needs, but even then one of us might still end up cheating one day or falling in love with someone else. Of course people should be held accountable for their actions and cheating is selfish and wrong, but no matter how much it sucks it’s also super normal. I think you become more pragmatic about these things as you age.

But no you're not dumb to think like this, the "birthrate low bad" is only applicable to politicians really because it means they either have give higher incentive to make babies or burn in the long run.

>but who will care for you when you're old!>we need more babies!etc when I say I won't have kids. In my country they import people from the Philippines and Africa to care for the elderly because supposedly there aren't enough people here to care for them. Except there are, the job just pays extremely poorly. You get treated like shit by everyone: families of the customer, managers, the customer themselves. Lots of them are super racist and difficult and act like little kids, and the carers aren't taught our local language well at all. The demands people make are crazy and we had very little to work with since whoever owns these companies just wants to make money.
I got out of there as soon as I could, the hours, the shit salary and abuse weren't worth it. My ex who I dated at the time was a software engineer and his company gave him so many things for fucking free. I was extremely jealous because we got nothing.
The families and the patients are super ungrateful and bossy, and most families won't give a shit about their mother or grandma or visit very often at all. Women had friends in the home, those who weren't super demented at least. Old men were lonely and some were really disgusting towards the workers.
I don't care that we're having less babies, frankly. I'll go in peace when I get there, I'd never stay in a care home like that ever again or put another human through having to deal with my runny geriatric shits.

No. 1704273
>>1704228I would change the style of the top. Either a tighter sweater, or a buttoned shirt with a sweater vest (yes this can look feminine - like a cute bookish feminine). Personally I like jewel tones, white, cream, or earthy colors with khakis. Anything too bright ends up looking strange or like a uniform imo. So maybe maroon, navy, grassy green (this could be brighter), a dark mahogany brown, or black. Then add a delicate necklace, maybe?
I don't think you need to add pastels or frills to make it feminine but of course those are other options. I struggle wearing pastel colors because they make me look ill, but if you have the undertones for it, maybe a newborn duck yellow would be interesting.

Maybe they're attracted to the soccer players but just as an unattainable fantasy, maybe they used to be sporty in their youth and got fat later, maybe they just dgaf or lack self awareness.
Personally I don't see how anyone could be truly happy while fat but I don't think women should hold back from enjoying things because of how they might look in photos.
No. 1705993
>>1705923What are you talking about, fat and unathletic is the vast majority of moids who're sports fanatics too. All men I know who're super into watching football and formula racing are either young men who spend most of their free time gaming or fat old men with beer bellies. Basically the whole idea of watching sports is that it's entertainment for people who don't lead active lifestyles, because you know those people are outdoors instead of being glued to screens watching matches on their weekends.
This is only a problem for you because it's women's sports.

>>1705923>To me it would be humiliating. I wouldn’t want to be seen, let alone if what I value is peak performance, beauty, athleticism etc- then how come they are not trying to aspire to that for themselves? Do they have no concept of self? I don’t get it. The obsession with fatness as some specifically horrible and degrading state on this website, to the point farmers on /g/ regularly admit to fantasies and shame regarding fat fetishism makes me roll my eyes, Not to mention all the women with EDs here too. I am not saying you are one of those women but your language around being fat as so degrading doesn't seem so far off from their understanding.
These fans are fat and probably do have food addiction and control issues, but being fat is not uncommon nowadays. Obsessive fan behavior and being fat is common among both sexes, it's simply seeing sports as another game and hobby and then the element of sexual attraction/waifuism for some. Beauty is not a specific value for the fans, but the players and their skill are the focus for these kind of superfans; the actual attractiveness of the players is a minimum requirement. Plenty of these people, male and female, will have autistic traits and lack self-awareness. Or hell, simply not care how they look, watching sports is a hobby and they can live vicariously through the players without desiring to play that sport or be fit themselves.

one time my most recent ex and i were in his car with his mother in the backseat and he opened his browser on his phone to look up an alternate restaurant to the one we wanted to go to. i believe he'd been looking at porn the night before because he suddenly jumped to turn the volume in the car down and that caused me to look up from my phone and see "MOTHERLESS.COM - …" on the car's display for a couple seconds before he quickly (i assume) swiped the tab away.
i hate porn and refuse to look up the site. i didn't even know he watched it, because he'd told me early on that he didn't. my best friend looked it up and simply told me "do. not. look it up." and that she wiped her browser history after she did so, and she never does that. i hung out with my guy friend of 2 years today and when i told him about the situation in the car, he grimaced and said, "like the revenge porn site?" he's 30 and said he used that site infrequently when he was 16, and it was sketchy. lots of omegle camshow reuploads, etc. my best friend told me the other day that MOTHERLESS is "a favorite with 4chan users because it's easy to find CP on there."
can any anons with pornsick exes or more internet experience than me confirm? i refuse to look it up.

>>1708532Diarrhea is usually the result of food infection if your talking about food-borne disease. Chicken can carry Salmonella if its tainted which causes food sickness. "Food sickness" is caused by the endo/exo toxin of the bacteria, usually people have diarrhea and purge all the excess bad bacteria with infection but sickness is more dangerous. Sickness is more serious and usually causes serious abdominal pains and vomiting, it usually takes much longer to pass up to a week, while infection takes a few hours to a day. "Food infection" is caused by too much of symbiotic bacteria that is present in a healthy gut microbiome. Too much symbiotic bacteria leads to a build up of metabolic waste of those symbiotic species and as a result inflammation and discomfort in the GI tract/diarrhea.
Of course there could also be other causes; if your having your period that can cause GI cramps and diarrhea. Oil and salt isn't going to cause diarrhea on its own unless your really glugging down the oil and brining your rice in the dead sea.

I think I might have vulvodynia. My entrance flares up from time to time and it's never a yeast infection.

Basically I'll just have a burning or agitated like pain that will either just be inside or outside of my vagina. I think mine might be partially psychological because stress does make my pain worse. Everyone advises you to wear cotton underwear, used water based lubes, don't rub soap on your labia, etc… And I follow all those rules but sometimes I still have bad days. I think the thing that helped me the most was not using an "all natural" lube that was actually burning slightly. I switched to sliquid so I could try putting a diva cup in and it worked out okay. Other than that I don't have a lot of advice. Sorry nonna.

>>1709175Things got weird about ten years ago. 2015 seemed to be a real tipping point on the path from "it's a rare mental condition and you should just let them live their lives" to "any criticism of anything a TIM does is transphobia".
Gay marriage was legalized in the USA on June 26, 2015. I don't believe that it was a "degeneracy" slippery slope, but once it was legal there was suddenly a lot of lobbyists, charities, and people who would find themselves jobless unless they were able to pivot to the next huge social justice human rights fight. So even if transgenderism hadn't existed, something would have been manufactured.
Laying it out like that, I'm really depressed that they picked something that sets back women's rights and hurts so many people. This huge political machine could have chosen something that would have made the world a better place, like rent control or four day work week, and instead it chose to fuck us over.

>>1709304You would have to be more specific with your country, but the short answer is that I don't know them or their culture so I am unable to give you any in depth answer. But I do know American culture, and I do know that money runs every aspect of our life. Like I said, I don't believe that same sex marriage inherently lead to where we are today, but that legalizing gay marriage required a huge multi decade effort that resulted in a lot of charities, companies, and jobs being created. And once the fight was won (legalization), then all those people were out of a job and the money would stop flowing unless they figured out how to join the next big political human rights fight. So that's why we saw a larger shift starting in 2015. From what I've heard, the transgenderism we see today then started spreading to other countries. It caught on for the same reasons it did in America. One, it's extremely profitable, and two, it plays on a very widespread and basic fear, that your children are going to die unless you do something.
You could probably also tie in the fact that due to the rising rates of porn addiction and more violent exposure at younger ages, that the timing was just right to create the mass of AGPs who are the driving force behind transgenderism.
Furthermore, one of the reasons that TIMs are getting exactly what they want in the USA is that after almost a hundred years of slow progress on women's rights, the pendulum is swinging back the other way. And since TRAs are just a different shade of men's rights activists, they often have similar superficial goals and so support each other in their attempts to extend control over women.

In the past people would bath less frequently and just clean their face once a day using water that probably wasn’t boiling hot.

Does it hurt having a surgically enhanced body?
For example, can't you feel fillers and implants from the inside? Do they feel like foreign objects inside your boobs/butt/lips? What about the fat from fat transfer procedures like BBLs? Do "thread lifts"/face lifts feel tight? Is there phantom pain after liposuction, rhinoplasty, buccal fat removal, or any other surgery where they take pieces out? Do the women who've had their faces frozen from Botox try to smile/move their eyebrows and just….can't??????
Is plastic surgery a secret body horror pain wonderland that women are forced to endure in the name of "beauty", or does being sliced up and reconfigured in man's image truly just feel fine afterwards?

hi nonnies is it normal for your thyroid to hurt all the time on the right side? heck, a few months ago I woke up with that area burning up alongside a very high fever and I went to the emergency clinic and they just tested for strep, which I didn't have. and the pain has been very consistent for months now. I'm not sure what to do. at first I thought it was a throat ulcer. also I already got a basic thyroid panel in the past and it came back clean so it's hard to believe there's a problem even if I don't feel great and all the women in my family have thyroid diseases. also there's 0 way my doctor will refer me to a specialist, so that's why I'm asking online like an idiot.

Do you think she just has bad BO and doesn't know or is she like coming over after work somewhere crappy like a hot kitchen?

>>1712008It didnt smell like BO, or not like any normal sweaty BO at least. It was like, a very noticeable fish smell, not musky. I dont think showering would help. It smelled like BV but like, tenfold. Can BV get so bad it lingers in the air? Like I had to air out the whole house, it was that pungent. And I doubt its from work either bc its was after midnight after saturday. Plus I've had an ex who worked in the fish marked and while he smelled like fish, it didnt smell like that. This smelled like fishy body odor. Idk if that made sense but it didnt smell like she had been working with fish, but rather that her odor is fishy
And idk you never know with some deranged anons here.
>>1712006I guess it might be that, yes. If so, I feel bad for her.

>>1712034It didnt smell like that though, like I said, it smelled like infectious bacterial vaginosis odour. Not strong stale musky sweaty body odor, that would have been pleasant in comparison tbh. Even the nerds who didnt shower after gym or changed clothes for weeks didnt smell like this.
Like this wasnt normal bad body odor/hygiene smell

If for example you go from a size 38 to 36, have you went down 1 or 2 sizes? I never understood how to talk about trousers sizing.

What are some excuses you would give to get out of a date with a guy you've learned you have no interest in? Bc some guy actually got a flight to visit me 2 states away and wanted me to go on multiple dates for the weekend. It's Sunday and I dont want to go on anymore, plus he keeps bringing up "watching a movie" at his hotel room and it's making me uncomfortable. I want to think of an excuse rather than being like "hey, im not interested" bc it seems like he's spent a lot if money so far.

>>1712763Based on the details provided he sounds like the type to become
abusive once he's got you in a compromising position (not that not respecting when you don't want sex isn't abuse)
You're young, you've got so much time to find someone better for you. Don't worry about it too much. You have time to figure this all out.

>>1712781It depends on the lighting and the width of the focal lens used. That's why professional photos make you look so good compared to photos taken by your camera.

>>1712643Thanks for this anyway, I was looking up gaming laptops and feeling hesitant. The mid-end ones are still decently pricey and all I could think is "if I add a couple more hundred to this I could probably buy a much better PC". My only issue with the PC is the space in my room is small.
Would you consider BG3/Elder Scrolls a high-end game?
