The people who live in the house. Are you that young that you have honestly forgotten that houses used to be owned by the people who lived in them?

When people sell all their shit and move across the country what do they do once they’re at their new location and have no bed to sleep in? Do they just get a bunch of furniture that very day?

Sometimes it is actually cheaper to just get some secondhand furniture when you get there than to get a U-haul or hire movers for going across the country.

What? I mean, cool but you can't just leave your parents' house and find an affordable home right at the corner, specially a whole ass house, maybe an apartment if you're lucky.
Plus I'm asking in the stupid questions thread, so of course I don't know how any of this shit works.
So okay, the houses are owned by the people, no one has secondary homes, great, then the unoccupied houses are just given away? Destroyed to keep the land completely free until reclaimed by someone? The government owns the land/the houses and it decides who gets a new home and who has to suck it up? Is it a company that owns the land/houses? Then isn't the company a landlord? Is it okay if it's a company or the government that owns the lands?
Like, I don't get how it works at all.

>>2155524
You're right, and I'm sorry, I thought you were being sarcastic with me which was why my response was rude.
So before huge companies, billionaires, and flippers started buying up all of the single family homes on the market, houses used to be way cheaper. So if it was illegal to be a landlord, then the number of houses would be much greater than it currently is. And since when supply is greater than demand, the price of stuff goes down, the cost of houses would go down. For example, two minimum wage earners (if they were smart with their money), used to be able to afford a single family starter home about an hour outside the city.
However, because people have realized that everyone needs some place to live, and that the population is only going up, they realized that houses could be hoarded and then sold back to the population at vastly inflated prices, leading to these huge companies that profit off of being landlords and all these small time landlords who do the exact same thing, but on a minuscule level.

If being a landlord were made illegal overnight, here's what would happen: landlords panic sell their units, crashing the housing market. Less new housing is built as it is no longer profitable to do so. People who took out mortgages would now have insurmountable fees to pay off for something that is now worth a lot less. The rich can still buy up more desirable properties as vacation homes, foreigners now have greater incentive to buy homes they won't live in while cost is low. Poor Americans will still be priced out of home ownership, only now the ones who already bought a home are screwed, and the ones who could only afford to rent before can no longer do so. Oh, and they're going to end up living in shittier, older units following this change as less new units will have been built. Congratulations, you've made everything worse, again proving you don't actually understand how any of this works.

I have a shirt in this color and I'm wondering if dying it an olive green would work or would blue dye be strong enough to turn it navy? Would the blue dye just mix with the current color and create olive green? It's 100% cotton gauze that I'm going for either navy or olive as a result and am unsure which color to buy. I just don't want to try full navy only for it to fail and end up with a super dark green rather than olive.

Try a lighter shade of blue. If you want navy, you can always dye it again, darker. Depending on the brand, you can buy dye remover anyway.

I have 3 sisters and 3 brothers. Still very lonely growing up. Part of that was because I couldn’t really have my own friends, or do anything without bringing a younger sibling along.

Just my experience, but it sucks ass. I have sort of 2 immediate families though. One was my step mom and half-siblings and dad, the other is my dad, my biological mom, and my full siblings. The former was better because they were all older than me and I was the youngest so I was spoiled a lot kek, and overall they were very nice and polite and fun to be around, until my dad and step-mom divorced and my biological mom and dad got together again and I got younger siblings. My mom made me take care of them and babysit them, and I couldn't do or ask for anything without them being involved somehow, so it's either we all do and get the same stuff or none of us does, if I'm the only one doing or getting something they'll cry and screech and I get prevented from doing anything or my stuff will get confiscated and given to one of them. They're also very disrespectful to me and used to beat me up when I was younger because I was smaller size wise than all of them (2 boys and 1 girl) and whenever they made any mistake I was blamed for it and beaten up for it and they get off scots free. Now we're all older and things aren't that bad but we don't have enough rooms in the house, so me and my sister share one room, and my 2 brothers share one room. Because of our different lives styles, a lot of fights arised from this, specifically because of different sleep schedules and turning the AC and/or lights on/off. There's also a lack of privacy because of this and it just gets so awkward, you're always embarrassed by the fact your sibling might see what you're doing on your phone/laptop when you do nerdy weeby shit they're not into, can't dance in your room in peace because they'll give you looks, can't exercise either because there isn't enough space or again, they'll give you looks and poke fun at you. My 2 brothers had a bit of a falling off regarding their room, so now the younger one insists on sleeping on the sofas of the guest rooms and refuses to go back to his bedroom, and we had to change the sofas since he's very fat and filthy and made the sofa cave in underneath him and it's filled with ants to the brim because he always eats on it, the fabric also got really dark. But even after changing it, he still does the same stuff and doesn't care at all. My parents can't afford moving to a new house with new rooms though, but my dad has like 3 rooms all to himself and I think one of my brothers should just go there and the other stays in the bedroom but they refuse to do that. My sister also wants me gone from the room and suggests I go sleep in the attic/storage room upstairs or get married and fuck off from the house all together. Bathrooms are another issue with a big family, we have 3, one for my dad only, 1 for my mom by her master bedroom (my parents don't share the same bedroom because of life style differences) and 1 between us siblings rooms. My brothers are filthy and piss everywhere and don't clean after them, they even piss on the bathtub sometimes, so I use my mom's bathroom mostly. Taking a showe can also be a pain especially if everyone wants to take a shower on the same day, and you'll have to wait for your turn and deal with someone else's filth after they leave the shower. When they were kids, they broke the toilet seat lid, the rode used to hang towels on, and the rack for handsoap, so the bathrooms are a bit of a mess and never got fixed for some reason. Even food is hell to deal with, I personally eat anything as long as it's healthy and balanced, though my mom's cooking isn't that good it's ok when I'm too busy to cook for myself, but my siblings are probably autistic or something because if it isn't greasy deep fried shit they don't want to eat it, and my dad prefers the blandest most disgusting foods possible, and my mom usually cooks a meal for him and then cooks for my siblings whatever they want and I'm always the one left out without any food to eat, so I end up cooking for myself and even buying my own groceries to have something to eat, and I have to hide it all so they don't eat it. When all of us finally agree on a meal, mom gives the biggest portion to my dad, and leave 1 bowel/plate for the rest of us to eat off or 1 for each 2, and it's never enough or nutritional at all. My 2 brothers are fatsos and eat way more than me and my sister, and I can eat an entire bowl/plate on my own, but mom refuses to understand this and increase the portions, then they come to her an hour after dinner/lunch like "we're hungry", so I just stopped having meals with them mostly unless it's takeout and I can control the amount of food so I won't be starving anf malnourished.
For the loneliness part, siblings are only fun to hang out when you're a kid and play together, once all of you grow up and become independent, you sort of become strangers to each other because of your different interests and personalities clashing at times, so each of us hang out with our friends from school/uni mostly, but we do chat and play board games in the rare occasions when we're bored enough to do that. I can't say I ever opened up or shared my feelings with my siblings, because I know they'll just laugh it off or tell my parents which could get awkward at best or get me in trouble at worst. But credit where credit is due, my 2 youngest siblings (youngest sister and youngest brother) came in a clutch when I got sick, they made me tea, cut me some apple slices, gave me blankets to stay warm, got me medicine, helped me to the bathroom when I had to throw up, and told my mom I'm sick so she'll get me to the hospital, while my younger brother who is older than them was like "lol you deserve it" and only drove me to the hospital because mom told him.
TLDR; having a big family sucks ass, but there are rare silver linings sometimes.

I had 4 older siblings. Two of them used to hit me, one didn't want anything to do with me, and the other has since gone no contact with the entire family. My parents wanted to adopt more children when my mother couldn't have more after me and I begged them not to. My mother was a helicopter parent and my father had explosive anger growing up because he had to work 16 hr days to support the family. I hated most of my childhood. The big, happy family thing seems like more of an idea than a reality. It's not comfortable living with that many people, and if your siblings are older than you you're subject to whatever evil is inside them.

Idt it's the size of a family that really matters, but quality. My extended family is pure shit and pretty much celebrated the death of their non-abusive mother. I have 2 older brothers, one used to hit me even when I hit back, both exposed me to their porn search histories and what 'rape porn' was. My parents have treated me uniquely bizarrely as well.

I think the peak realistic ideal is 2 parents who both work sane jobs and 1-2 semi-normal-enough siblings max (siblings can be substituted with pets). I did have several friends whose families were so normal, it re-ignited my jealousy of those Disney channel tv show families kek. But even then, I ended up not liking those friends after they turned out to be kind of stupid sheeple who hang onto celeb gossip and believe their tiktok fyp.

It could be cope, but I think having some unhappiness in the family makes you less prone to getting sucked into stupid bullshit as long as you hang on tight and make yourself well-adjusted-ish in time.

Yes, I've experienced all of this. I had too many sensory issues with mine, so I waxed it all off. I still have my underarm and leg hair though, which must be perplexing for anyone who's seen me naked. I feel like for most women it's probably the other way around, where they shave their legs/underarms but not their groin

This is gross, but back when I had pubes, I used to hate how they complicated periods. Hair would get stuck in pads/liners and get ripped out painfully, and the hair would get all stuck together with blood. I switched to all tampons in high school and thar helped, but the hair was still itchy and distracting. I like the look of it, but I just can't cope with the feeling.

I honestly haven't read fanfics in a long time already, but in the end it's all about just writing what you want and throwing it out there for the world to see, sure, it won't become the next 4 movies series of Netflix with a spin-off unless you're really lucky and/or have connections, but some people will enjoy your writing.

Yes I know I kind of went on a tangent there and it wasn't clear, but I didn't mean specifically you. Classics for the most part were just influential books and there are many reasons a book is influential, it doesn't mean it's a masterpiece or that there weren't better books at the time. A lot of english classics afaik became classics because they had very low copyright restrictions on them so a lot of people got the opportunity to read them. A lot of the classics from my country were written by an obnoxious rich man who would probably be some manosphere influencer nowadays and I don't even think his books are good or interesting. Of course the average classic is way better than the vast majority of fanfictions though, let's not kid ourselves here.

It depends on where you live, not just the country but also the city and neighborhood, and who's mostly immigrating, for what reason, and a lot of other criteria, so yes and no. Sometimes on the news in France you hear about some crime being committed and journalist will talk like it's an immigrant who did it, but it turns out it's someone born and raised in France with a French citizenship whose grandparents came to France from Algeria when Algeria was legally a French overseas region before it gained independence, like Martinique is today, then people act like we must stop immigration as if that person wasn't there as a fetus already. You have to read between the lines when checking the news, it gets weird and ambiguous and everyone has an agenda, it's exhausting.

No. 2156805

>>2156773
It's a combination of a lot of different things. No two countries, or even cities, are alike. The news reports more frequently on the crimes on migrants than the crimes of nationals. Honestly though, the only reason the governments have allowed so many migrants in is so that there's fodder for fascist (or at least very nationalistic) revolutions before 2050. Most of the government figures in Europe are just bidding time until the spark is set somewhere somehow, and after that point they have a lot of money to gain. It's all the governments' fault, but in a planned and organized way. They're itching and dying for another war in Europe. They know that if there's a continental war, there will be a post-war boom. They're counting on the boom because right now there's only decline. It's much like how many high-ranking Nazis were twice rewarded; firstly when their party gained power and they assumed pre-war positions, and secondly when they assumed post-war government positions during and after the occupation (at least in Western Germany).

Yes, 10/10 for mild sedative effects. However, a moderate percentage of people should chew black pepper before taking the CBD gummies. This prevents the paranoia that some people get from them.

IDK if you live in country where marihuana is legal, but if so, there are certain isolates of a cannabinoid called CBG (cannabigerol) that will provide a mood boost and calm anxiety. It won't give you a psychoactive high but it will give you a mild sense of euphoria. There was a time in my life when I heavily relied on marihuana to stave away anxieties and depression, but over time I realized that it was doing me more harm than not to be reliant on a substance for my well-being. I think marihuana is good for use every now and again, like when you're really at the end of the rope, but if you use it every day over time you will develop more and more tolerance to it so you will have to use more and more (and spend more and more). I realized that when I was using marihuana, I wasn't actually working through my problems, I was just getting high to forget about my problems. And eventually you get tired of just forgetting and you want to solve it, or at least I did anyway.

It's because they come from cultures where women aren't allowed to work or even get a high school education, so the scrotes are the only ones who have a chance of getting jobs in the new place. Theoretically, the idea is to have an adult scrote son work until he can afford to support his family in the new country.

It is heavily exaggerated by racists who use women as an excuse to be racist and retarded. They pretend to care about it while turning around and crying about the declining birth rates and playing devils advocate about taking away women’s rights. Meanwhile most women are raped and killed by their own mentally ill, unstable retard moids who are very much white and addicted to drugs or alcohol, or their creepy uncles and too-old boyfriends when they are young.
I’m no fan of Islam or any major religion but as someone who actually lives in a country with a lot of immigrants I hate this narrative that things used to be better before they came. They were the same just maybe a little cleaner in some places because less poor people lived there. Local men could sexually harass women at work as much as they wanted in the 90s and a woman could get fired if she got pregnant but somehow that is okay because those men were born here?
Immigration brings men AND women AND children from other places, and some of them end up assimilating while others do not, some are crazy and others are not. That’s it. I’ve been harassed by way more middle aged creeps addicted to subutex and booze than immigrants, personally.

You also forgot to mention that female immigrants and European women who aren't immigrants but aren't natives/white either get harassed by these white guys more often than the average women despite not causing any disturbance compared to men, just because these white supremacists are insanely racist and wouldn't dare do that against healthy looking men they assume are immigrant. My city is known for being full of white supremacists in specific neighborhoods, they like to target people they perceive as immigrants and/or muslims, and while I'm an ex muslim and always lived in that city as soon as I was born I'd rather not have to deal with them, I don't want to end up in a hospital. You're told to assimilate into the local culture and when you do, sometimes more than the natives from the past 20 generations they still nitpick everything and try to be racist anyway at best, or you're still harassed or assaulted at some point.

tldr; it goes both ways. It's just like you said, local men are trash too, they just get away with it, especially if their targets aren't white and/or are women, in that case it can even be encouraged and overlooked by the authorities. Some anons talked about Germany but I'm not German.

I don't have many real friends in my new place so I spent my last birthday tripping in shower with fancy lights and a shower speaker. I bought a bath bomb from lush and tried tying it to the shower head but it didn't really work. Still though 10/10 would recommend. I had some nice self reflection. Not for everyone though.

Anyone ever feel like they’re dissociated from their bodies/floating sensation/calmness annd sometimes dizziness and nausea after you play a video game? It almost feels like I’m not present in reality anymore. I don’t know how people can play this for hours including scrotes who are constantly screeching at the screen like it’s a life-or-death matter. A lot of it reminds me of gambling where you’re playing for the increased chances of victory or a “win”.

They'll probably give you an SSRI to start with. Watch out, though, because the longer you're on one of those, the harder it is to go off of it. I've been taking the same one for a decade and trying to taper off has been a pain in the ass due to the withdrawal effects.

I don't have it turned on. Like another anon suggested, I calibrated the contrast and levels on my monitor (a pen display) myself by comparing it to my other devices. Most people are going to be viewing digital artwork using the default levels on smartphones, so that's the best thing to try and match more adjustable devices to. Managing colors for printing is a whole other can of worms, though.

If you're not an artist and you like how it looks, though, I don't see the harm in leaving the setting on. I turn on the amber tint ("Night Light") while I'm doing non-color-sensitive tasks (linework, vidya), just because it's easier on my eyes. It probably makes games look weird, but I don't care lmao.

It's absolute hell. It's not as bad now, but back when I was on a high dose, the withdrawal effects from just missing one or two days was like Jekyll and Hyde. One time I was going through withdrawal at work and I lashed out at a client so bad I was nearly fired on the spot. I was so grateful to not have lost my job, and I decided that it was time to taper off. There's no way it's healthy to be so dependent on something that the withdrawal effects are that extreme.

how do you get readers to care for more than 3 characters?

No. 2157672

>>2157665
The same way you get them to care about one. Give them a “save the cat” moment (and read the book while you’re at it). Basically even asshole characters can be made endearing or interesting by giving them a moment of humanity (like saving a cat from a tree as a throwaway example). Also the relationships between the characters should keep the readers interested.

No. 2157682

>>2157665
It's like what the other anon said, but remember that readers, or the audience in general, will be more interested in not just 3, but also it's multiples. I.e., it's easy to make people care about 3, 6, or even 9 characters. If you watch a lot of sitcoms or dramas for example, usually they'll have either 3 main characters or 6.

Basically, it's a sort of optical illusion where it looks as though mercury's orbit has been reversed. So it looks as though it's going backwards instead of forwards.

Mercury is associated with communication, so when it enters retrograde, usually there are issues with interpersonal communication like increased frequency of arguments, misunderstandings, and petty spats. It's usually a time when friends fight, and couples' break up.

I didn't say all that.

It's like you're treating her like your child, which isn't a good sign when it comes to friendships.

am i the only one who feels sad when i find out old high school classmates are now single moms? i'm 24 and so many female former classmates who are now 21-25 are single moms, some even have 2 or 3 kids. i feel sorry for them, but not in a judgemental way, more like "you had your whole life ahead of you, you could have been so much more". they won't have had time to consider if motherhood, especiacially single motherhood which is so hard, is the life they truly want yet (many of them got pregnant at 16-19), and now it doesn't matter what they want because their kids come first. the way it's treated as so normal too, most of them bond over having crappy babydaddies, day drinking/wine mom stuff, leaving the kids with their own parents so they can go party, date, and socialize like a normal early 20-something, etc

what is this and why is it a thing? do these girls not have further ambitions for themselves? do they just suppress their real dreams and seethe? is it a low self esteem thing? am i just too autistic and having too much empathy for women?

is this even a thing that happens outside of "trash containment towns"? it seems to be common among both "white trash" , "rez kids", and "ghetto hoodrat" people, but my sample size is just my own town, oshawa canada which is NOTORIOUSLY trashy and has the worst people of all races, so I wonder if that's just a "here" thing or if it's a "thing" thing.

I knew of one teenage pregnancy which was a pretty big deal and one pregnancy of a highschool sweetheart couple in their early twenties, they are still together I think. The girl that got pregnant in school got bullied a lot for it, of course the disgusting scrote that knocked her up and then left didn't. She deserved better. I didn't know her very well, but from what I gathered it was birth control failing. She didn't seem trashy or irresponsible, but it was too late for abortion when she noticed. Apparently she took good care of the baby, with her parents helping of course and I remember a teacher talking about how much more adult she was forced to be because of her situation and how jarring it was seeing her compared to the childish scrotes in her class.

When you first start flossing again after a long time of not doing it, how long does it take for your gums to stop bleeding? I don't have a lot of blood on the floss, just a bit, but I'm just wondering if it's normal after not doing it for so long.

How do you go about learning a language from a culture-heritage-ethnicity that is not prevalent and has next to no relevancy in your country? Is it possible to pick up a new lang for free?

A good place to start is https://4chanint.miraheze.org/wiki/The_Official_/int/_How_to_Learn_A_Foreign_Language_Guide_Wiki or finding the subreddit for your language, assuming it's not too obscure.

There's a lot you can learn online without ever paying for lessons (or books if you pirate stuff), but tbh finding free resources to get started is the easy part. You probably won't just 'pick up a new language' without a lot of study and possibly immersion unless it's very similar to another language you speak.

When I was growing up my mum used to sing to herself a lot, and she wouldn't talk aloud but she'd move her lips silently sometimes when she was trying to work something out in her mind. I ended up learning to do the same thing, so now as an adult I always talk to myself. When I'm at home I'll usually do it aloud, but in public it's just moving my lips in silence. At worst it can be embarrassing when people see me doing this, but on the other hand it can be really funny too. I think it's normal to talk to ourselves, you shouldn't feel too ashamed. Maybe occasionally embarrassed, but that happens to everyone.

Do you think 50/50 relationships are a good thing for women? My friend talks about her relationship and how she splits the bills, housework, etc, with her boyfriend, but I'm convinced that there's probably a lot of work and emotional labor she does that goes unseen. And plus, what type of man would really be ok sitting down and splitting everything down 50/50? It sounds like a miserable time and like he doesn't even truly care about her, but he's trying to nickel and dime her to get the "best deal", where he does the bare minimum to keep her around. It seems loveless and transactional to me. And it's even worse if she wants to have children as well. What do you think about this type of relationship?

Men naturally want to provide for their woman when they are in love, forcing him to go 50/50 unbalances the relationship and feminizes him. Non-mooch men get insecure if their woman makes more money than him. Having his gf insist to pay for things and drive him around is a decent man's worst nightmare. Same with the woman proposing to the man, giving flowers, etc.
I agree that the feminine role is underestimated, there is a large mental load women carry and someone else said it better but just being around us is uplifting, our time is invaluable. Being with a woman literally makes a man's life better in all respects there is a reason they live longer partnered to us

They’re good in theory but never are the reality in practice. Women naturally take the brunt of the emotional labor in relationships whether moids are cognizant of it or not.

You probably don't look as bad as you think nona. 99% of makeup is knowing what looks good on your specific face.

When I was a teen I got "professional" makeup done one time (gay moid working at a makeup store) and I looked so fucking ugly with it. The foundation shade was off so I had a yellow-orange undertone that made me look sick (because being tan was trendy and I'm pale af), all colors he used clashed with my natural colors. He did an intense eyeliner that just shrunk my eyes so I looked like a mole, the contouring looked like streaks of dirt on my face… he did the techniques right, it just didn't suit my face shape at all. I already have a narrow face and high nose bridge, contouring my face just make me look boney and emaciated lmao
When I do my own natural makeup, I look the same but less tired, with clearer skin and friendlier eyes. Minimal makeup is where it's at if you actually wanna look good.

50/50 sounds unfair and illogical. I fucking hate some chores, and some I genuinely enjoy doing. My bf is doing all the heavy lifting work because he's stronger than me as a male, I ain't taking 50% of that just for some stupid idea that it makes us "equal". While I'm sure women's mental load is undervalued that is something I actually naturally enjoy doing, so it doesn't feel like work to me to take care of people while my bf is a male and therefore naturally a bit retarded in that area.

Also if a man earns like twice the money and still makes his wife's pay 50% of everything he's just being cheap. At that point it's your collective money and he should invest in the home and relationship

You're right though. It's unfair bullshit, but men have an easier time finding and securing a high paying career over women.

I’m sorry idk… but I have one and know a lot of trannies and I think it’s honestly just down to internet space. It’s a certain type of person that is prone to trooning out. From my observations, they’re probably alternative and/or involved in fandoms too - it’s just an archetype, especially for TIFs. Self-harming and EDs too. IDK why there’s this crossover but there just is. So it’s less of a question of, “why do troons do x” and more of a question of, “why do people who do x tend to also be the kinds of people who troon out”.

For good measure, it's best to simply assume you don't know even if you suspect it, otherwise, you'll sound schizo and start wrongly accusing people.

Why the fuck are hotels in NYC so expensive? And now with AirBnb practically gone it's completely unaffordable to come visit unless you want to sleep in a pod.

Yes, but you need a really restrictive diet and to workout daily. And by really restrictive diet I mean broiled chicken or canned tuna in water preferably as plain as possible, only drinking water, lots of vegetables and making sure the supplements don't have any unnecessary fats and such.
That kind of body is mostly achieved for photoshoots, competitions and the sorts, it's unsustainable in the daily life of a normal person that doesn't have a bizarre eating disorder.

I have a rescue dog that clearly had puppies before I adopted her/before she got spayed. Whenever women meet her, if they notice her belly, they'll say something happily like "aw, she was a momma!".

I think it's being kinda both being retarded and not knowing dogs have nipples.

Every time I find someone attractive I am filled with this really horrible feeling of guilt/remorse/embarrassment. It's so bad I can barely look at people I am attracted to. To cope I end up fantasizing about beating them/killing them and it provides temporary relief. This has been a problem ever since I was a kid and developed a crush on a teacher.

Some people have great genetics tbh, so maybe that girl just tends to have a lower body fat, but why don't you have the same abs if it's so easy to achieve? Like why don't people just go to the gym, eat decently and get those abs? Because it's not something that happens out of nowhere, it means lots of targeted exercises and a restrictive diet because it's not common to have that type of body, otherwise there wouldn't be any bodybuilding contests, like why would anyone want to give a prize to anyone for having an average body?

Yeah it's bullshit to act like it's easy. My sister has a much more defined 6 pack than her without a restrictive diet - but that's after 10-15 years of sports and weight training. Building tonnes of muscle over many years makes it a lot easier to maintain abs with a fairly normal diet. But if you wanted to transform your body quickly then you WOULD need a really restrictive diet. Most people don't want to take an entire decade to get to that point, so they need to reduce body fat a lot. tbh I also doubt the efficacy of a lot of targeted ab training so it feels overly simplistic to tell people to just build muscle there and you'll get abs.

It is objectively cringe as a woman to have a crush on a male. It means you approve of him as a person despite knowing he's probably a piece of shit. You're literally simping for him. When a man has a crush on someone it's whatever because all it means is that he would like to stick his dick in you which has nothing to do with liking/simping for someone. But as a woman it's just a humiliating role reversal, chances are he doesn't feel the same way about you so you're just a cringe little obsessive observer. You're a quiet simp and nothing else

I suppose it's because of things like how the crack epidemic disproportionately affected black americans for example, so you can't really discuss the drug problem without acknowledging how it affects minorities
>personal attack
Some muricans are allergic to accountability.

If you don't sweat after a workout, does it mean it wasn't a good workout? Even if you lifted heavier weight that you usually don't lift? Should you sweat a lot after working out? Is it bad to cool down your body, stopping the sweating? Like, does it stop the body from burning calories?

>Is it bad to cool down your body, stopping the sweating? Like, does it stop the body from burning calories?
When I had these questions, the answers I found said that it doesn't matter much on that end. Similar to the "trick" of 'shivering burns more calories,' the answer is a maybe/yes but the differences are negligible. Similar to the "trick" of people wearing rubber suits to sweat more in a workout - it's a gimmick and maybe trains your endurance to working out in less optimal conditions, but not much else.
>If you don't sweat after a workout, does it mean it wasn't a good workout? Even if you lifted heavier weight that you usually don't lift?

How do i store it so it doesn't get ruined for no reason?

No. 2163920

>>2163912
Yes, it's normal for fake jewellery to wear down over time and become ruined just by everyday wear. Fake jewellery is a money sink, because even though it's cheaper than real jewellery, it has a limited shelf-life so you'll need to buy more and more over time. Real jewellery, made with real materials, will last a lifetime if maintained. You're better off saving up a bit of money and investing in a nice piece of real jewellery for yourself. There are a lot of economic options now for jewellery, and there are a lot more accessible stores now compared to the 2000s. Besides shopping at a budget store, you could also consider using cheaper, but still beautiful, materials. Sterling silver is a great option for the budget-conscious shopper, it's more economic than gold but it's still gorgeous and durable. Another option would be looking for less expensive gemstones, like precious coral, moonstone, freshwater pearls, jade, or turquoise. These are usually a lot more affordable when compared to more precious gems like sapphires, diamonds, or emeralds.

My character is supposed to be rich and successful with a high paying job, she lives in NYC and attendeds Manhatten University for her master's degree. I'm torn apart about which kind of place can she own and live in that would come off as more luxurious. An apartment in a sky scraper kind of apartment complex where she has access to the roof and decorates as a spot she sits in with friends, or a house that is a villa in a suburban gated community for the neighborhood sense of community and attended the church for social gatherings with a backyard or balcony with a nice view, or what other options? I want the view to be of the city but also the local parks in it like Manhatten park, so the balcony or roof are important elements, but I also want the community and neighbors thing to work.

Some grease, like bacon grease for example, can be reused. Frying oil can also be cleaned and reused. Poor people in general tend to try to be frugal and avoid food waste if possible. Well, maybe not dumb ones, but it's a frugal thing.
Though this seems to conflict a lot with the rest of your post; someone who leaves behind there things and lives in a messy home is probably less concerned with being resourceful.

Basically after 9/11, American culture shifted towards conservatism after coming back from the huge swing to liberalism during the 60s. There was a war, the economy was getting worse, and when that happens the society responds in a way that puts more value on masculinity, rejection of beauty, and rejection of Self. Scrotes were needed in wars, and they were needed to do shit labour jobs, so buzzcuts became popular, men's fashion became taboo, and scrotes became more retarded, more violent, and more segregated. The counter-culture of the 60s had a deep grip on our society then, and it continued through the the 70s and 80s. As the economic climate worsened in the 90s, and after the conservative political victories post 9/11, the counter-culture slowly died down and the mainstream culture of pre-60s America returned as the dominant societal undercurrent. That's why we're seeing a lot of people today taking issue with things we figured out a long time ago, things like: abortion rights; interracial marriages; same-sex relationships; etc.; because those were all things that went against traditional mainstream American culture in the 40s and 50s.

Basically, from the late 60s to the late 90s, the liberal counter-culture produced a unique sociocultural undercurrent in our society that dominated the former undercurrent, traditional American conservative culture. The counter-culture was a reaction to the limitations of the culture. Since the counter-culture is no longer as present, or as influential, in our society, the original culture will soon dominate the society again.

Yes. Meat is already gross, especially chicken (to me, I was vegetarian for ~6 years) and occasionally there's feathers on the chicken, so I like to put it in a bath of warm water and vinegar/lemon juice and clean it. it's normal to clean meat before cooking it in my culture. I also HAVE to do it with stuff like shrimp to make sure it's de-veined. It's just my personal preference, and I'm sure I've are unwashed meat many times. Idk why some people are so weird about cleaning meat though, doesn't everyone wash stuff like their vegetables and fruits?

I slept with my boyfriend 2 days before I was supposed to get my period. We used protection (thicker condoms because paranoia) and we even changed the condom after he finished and we went for another round. Essentially we did everything by the book. Yet my period is the latest it's been in a year (by 5 days), and I'm freaking out a little bit because my period is usually pretty regular.
I know there's always a risk and the only way to know for sure is to practice abstinence yadda-yadda but is it even possible to be pregnant despite being hyperaware? Can sex delay my period (we haven't had sex in over half a year by this point because of long distance) Also is it too early to take a test?

It’s culturally the norm in certain demographics. There’s no need to if you’re a burger. The most I “clean” my chicken is trimming off excess fat and patting it dry depending on the prep. The chicken gets cooked at a high enough temperature that anything harmful will be killed in the process, anything else is redundant to unsafe.

The chances of being pregnant are very low at the end of the cycle and you also used a condom. I would try to relax, periods can also be late for other reasons like getting sick.

Men wearing heels came about from heeled equestrian boots. They were associated with the military and equestrianism from Persia. Prior to the 17th century there was the chopine worn exclusively by women. Upper class women were meant to display a family’s wealth in their clothing, the chopine provided the opportunity by not only being elaborately decorated but by also requiring more yardage for a woman’s dress to cover the shoe. In addition the shoes were so cumbersome to mobility that women needed servants to lean on just to get around. So heeled shoes in men were associated with the military and other manly endeavors whereas in women it was associated with a display of wealth and the lifestyle needed to support them.

Surrogate mothers came up on my twitter timeline and since I've never understood why anyone would choose to do that other than just to get money I started thinking about it. Usually if you ask the woman they're all like "it's because of the goodness in my heart uwu" which is doubtful lol. It hit me that a lot of modern women don't want kids simply because they don't want to give up their current lifestyle, so it's fully possibly it looks like a great deal to them. They get to pass on their genes so they don't feel like their bloodline ends with them, but they don't have to do any of the hard work or give up their time, money and life style to raise the baby. On the surface level it looks like a good deal to them. Any thoughts on this, could I be right?

I'd suggest that you make it clear in the narrative that the woman's decision to alter her appearance is a strategic response to the oppressive conditions of the society she's in, rather than a reflection of her gender identity. Emphasize the extremity of the society’s misogyny as the primary driver of her decision, rather than a desire to transition genders. You could also explore the character's internal experience in a way that reinforces her identity as a woman. If the character maintains a strong sense of her womanhood despite altering her appearance, this can help clarify that her actions are about survival, not a shift in gender identity.

Any other nonnies with severe back pain at a young age(i am 22)? how do you live with it and what do you do to aliviate the paint? i do pilates but i dont feel much better. I am scared i might not be able to walk when i am older and that the might might become too much for me to live with it.

Just know that being blind isn't just seeing a black void, it's like losing all "feeling", you can't conceive the nothingness, but there's nothing there. The closest you can come to knowing is probably fainting for one reason or another, your eyesight starts getting really cloudy and sometimes it goes completely before you faint, in that case from personal experience it's more like losing all signal coming from your eyes. Like I've gone temporarily blind and I could not describe it. It's just like your brain stops receiving signal from your eyes.

If a person is experienced with makeup but they've only ever worked with white women, do their skills necessarily translate to working with a different race or is it likely that what they're good at would clash with another type of woman? Genuine question and not meant to be racebait or whatever, I don't know anything about makeup but want to have it done for a special event. I live in the Midwest and every local makeup artist has sample pics exclusively like the left pic; I'm East Asian and wondering if they could reasonably be good at doing something more like the right pic or if it'd be kinda out of their realm unless they specifically had practice (not likely considering the low permanent Asian population)

Why would you pay a makeup artist for that it's basic gradient lip and eyeshadow. But to answer your question no a mua who only works on western women would not do a great job because they are used to working with their bone structure, the eye shape and cheekbones are usually quite different. Speaking from experience, they also have issues with matching foundation and undertones. Can't you go to a Sephora and book a makeup session with an Asian girl?

the pic isn't literally what I want but just the first pic I grabbed off google to show the basic concept of an Asian girl wearing more Asian-style makeup, I would probably want something more complex. But thanks for the answer, that's kinda what I expected. I'd ideally try to find an Asian MUA but haven't found any businesses that seem to have any, like I said I'm in a smaller area where the base population isn't super diverse and most Asians are like visiting students or scholars

>As a result of the effects of these different evolutionary forces, while a number of very rare (and usually very young) alleles may be geographically localized, the majority of common genetic variants are not private to a particular continent, and are often shared across multiple regions (The 1000 Genomes Project Consortium 2015). This is because, in contrast with dogs, no modern human populations have ever been completely reproductively isolated over many generations.
>When differences in generation time between the two species are taken into account [~ 20 years for humans = 10,000 generations over 200,000 years; ~ 4.5 years for wolves (Mech et al. 2016) = ~ 9000 generations over 40,00 years], it would seem that there has been just as much or more time for substructure to evolve in our own species as has evolved in dogs. That it did not suggests that the strict artificial selection imposed on dogs by humans through selective breeding has had a profound effect on within- and among-breed levels of dog genetic diversity. In contrast, while geographic, cultural, or linguistic features may slow or limit gene flow between human groups, these forces have not resulted in the high levels of genetic differentiation that resulted from artificial selection for distinct and distinguishable breeds of dogs. In accordance with their release from strict selective breeding and artificial selection, village dogs show significantly more genetic diversity and higher heterozygosity than breed dogs (Boyko et al. 2009).

As we saw in the previous section, the majority of genetic variation is shared across human populations.
>In terms of stature, human populations vary around the world, and height differs within and among the five races defined by the 2010 U.S. Census. Data from the Centers for Disease Control (Fryar et al. 2016) show differences in the average height of individuals by self-identified racial category, but a much greater amount of overlap. The median white man (of the, on average, tallest racial group among U.S. men) is 177.1 cm tall (69.7 in.) while the shortest group on average, Asian men, are 170.3 cm tall (67.0 in.)—a difference of approximately 3 in., or less than 0.2 standard deviations in height among U.S. men. The distribution of variation in stature within human populations is broad and very different from that seen in dog breeds. The height distributions of men in the U.S. overlap such that approximately 15% of Asian men are taller than the median white man. Both groups overlap even more substantially with black men. (It is also worth noting that the difference in median height between men and women of a single U.S. census group is greater than that between men of any two U.S. census groupings, and the same is true between women.) Consider the tallest (Manute Bol at 231 cm or 91 in.) and the shortest (Muggsy Bogues at 160 cm or 63 in.) players in the history of the NBA. While they represent extremes of the human male height distribution, Bol is only 1.44 times taller than Bogues.

In contrast, dog breed differences in stature are far greater than what is observed across U.S. census divisions of humans. The median shoulder height in Great Danes (76 cm, 30 in.) is four times greater than in Pekingese (19 cm, 7.5 in.; Stone et al. 2016). When scaled to human height, this would be equivalent to a difference of 470.7 cm (185.3 in.) or about the difference between an average human and a two-story building. Years of breeding to divergent standards combined with low genetic diversity has resulted in limited and non-overlapping height variation for many breeds (Sutter et al. 2008). Even within dogs in the middle third of the height distribution, like Italian Greyhounds, their top 5% for height does not overlap with the shortest 5% of Golden Retrievers.
>Furthermore, the accumulation of new genetic mutations, random fluctuations in trait and genetic variant frequencies due to genetic drift, and the introduction of new alleles into populations via gene flow all dilute natural selection’s ability to drive large differences in phenotypes or genotypes between populations. As a result, human populations are genetically very similar to one another with overlapping phenotypes. In contrast, modern purebred dogs exist almost entirely due to artificial selection; their mating is controlled by humans to produce offspring with desired traits. To do this, animals with rare genetic mutations, like those with the dwarf variant of IGF1, are bred together for several generations, acting against the natural accumulation of genetic variation (i.e. evolution by anything other than artificial selection) within the breed.

Dog breeds seem to be so distinct from one another in many conspicuous traits because, relative to human groups, they are. This is true in terms of the extreme differences in physical traits seen between dog breeds, whereas U.S. census groupings overlap in terms of all physical traits, and it is also true with regard to the underlying differences in the genetic architecture that determines these traits.
>The Portuguese Water Dog demonstrates how entire AKC dog breeds are painted with personalities, like “strength, spirit, and soundness,” that individual humans do not even necessarily share with their immediate family members. Yet, dog breeding standards influence assumptions about hard-wired behavior characterizing and differentiating human groups. The jump from clustered physical variation to the assertion of superior and inferior, biologically-based behavioral variation at the group level is the crux of the matter. It is why Haldane’s question is so much more than an academic curiosity and why the pop culture analogy equating race with breed demands refutation.

Arguments in support of the biological basis or “reality” of race are often thinly veiled arguments for a significantly genetic basis behind perceived behavioral differences between races (Sussman 2014). Though it is decades old, the “logic” of this argument or line of thinking, particularly when it relies on the dog breed analogy, is easily gleaned from social media: If one can tell a Dalmatian from a Mastiff and one can tell a person of one race from another race just by looking at them, and if behavior is bred into dogs to a degree that distinguishes breeds too, then genetically-based behavior also distinguishes human races and, thus, a person’s intelligence or criminality (etc.) can be predicted by their ancestry.

>From this mistaken perspective, the notion of race as a social construct is seen as absurd and so is down-playing the biological basis for race, because to do so is to be willfully stupid, ignorantly anti-science, or brainwashed by a politically correct denial of reality. (Hence, the “race realists” who talk of taking the “red pill,” an allusion to the film The Matrix where a person frees himself from living a false reality.) Consequences of that false framework include support for eugenics (past, present, and future), racial segregation of schools, justifying status quo institutional oppression, white nationalism, white supremacy, other forms of racism, and defunding social, environmental, economic, and health programs that counter racism’s effects.
>First of all, as we have shown, the dog breed-human race analogy is not biologically sound—it assumes race as a natural biological category of humans, a priori. Second and inextricably related, the analogy denies sociocultural context, both past and present. What is more, it includes unquestioned and largely unfounded assumptions about genetically-determined and predictable human behavior.
>Scientists are still discovering whether and how dog behaviors are breed-specific and, when they are, how heritable they are. To be clear, a trait’s heritability is an estimation of how much of its variation in a population is determined by genetic variation in that population; heritability is not synonymous with its determination or predictability in an individual based on that individual’s DNA. There is much known but also much more to learn about what else influences behavioral variation among dogs like weaning age, diet, and other conditions during development. A recent meta-analysis of the heritability of dog behavior concluded that not only are breed standards poorly aligned with the actual behaviors of the breeds they aim to define, but they describe behaviors with little genetic component in the first place (Hradecka et al. 2015). While dog behavior does develop out of inherited (as well as environmental) influences, “breed standards are largely unsubstantiated, for most breeds that have been studied” (Mehrkam and Wynne 2014).
>Variation in human behavior has its roots in both complex genetic and non-genetic factors. Claims that such factors, or their interactions, map neatly onto geographically and socially constructed human groups and can be used to predict behavioral traits associated with such groups, or of an individual member of a group, are not scientifically supported. As Sussman (2014) said about the one behavioral trait that is usually the focus of these discussions, “The idea of a unitary purely genetically based intelligence and of biologically distinct races among humans is as outdated scientifically as the ideas that the earth is flat or that it was created in 4004 B.C.” (p. 305)
>Finally, Darwin’s scenario for the evolution of human intelligence in Descent of Man (1871) pitted human groups against one another, with natural selection ratcheting up intelligence in the dominant groups through time. Hierarchical ranking of human races is also inherently competitive, which is just one reason why outdated and overly simplistic conceptions of evolutionary biology have historically paired with racism, and still do. Within this racist framework, hindsight paints the dominant group as the more genetically intelligent and naturally selected one, justifying its dominance with perceived biological superiority. While it is true that natural selection occurs differently in different lineages and populations, it is no longer dogma (> 150 years since Darwin) that natural selection causes divergence due to competition between populations. In many cases, perpetual mutation and drift are enough to explain evolutionary divergence (Hedges et al. 2015).
>“Race” has evolved into a concept that supersedes biology and therefore it cannot also apply as a strictly biological concept. After a racist history of science and a racist history of knowledge production generally, we know that “race” does not exist without racism. As McLean (2019) has described it, there are “co-constructive relationships between historically contingent political processes and the biology of humans.” “Race” is, in its essence, about human bias and always has been. If, hypothetically, race was ever to succeed as a wholly objective and neutral biological concept for humans, it lost its chance because so much racist science led us to this socially constructed state of “race” today. About that racist science Zack (2010) writes, “There is a self-revised scientific history of ideas of race, but that is not the same thing as a scientific foundation. The need for such a foundation or some intellectual justification for the enslavement of Africans and the oppression and exploitation of indigenous peoples during the period of European colonization and its subsequent racisms—without question motivated belief in human races [as real and important, biologically differentiated types of humans].” (p. 880)

Because I only steal from Walmart or people who wrong me. And I do it carefully enough that I'm confident I won't be caught. And if I am caught, I'm confident that a lawyer can get me off due to the small amount I've stolen.
>Do you get used to it?
You seem to have a lot of anxiety related to it. I would not recommend that you shoplift because security guards can sniff out suspicious behavior and will be watching you from the moment you go into the store.
>are you just poor and want the stuff and can't pay?
Yes, so I steal to stretch my budget further. So I'll steal a bottle of gummy vitamins, or else I'll steal a pack of the nicer menstrual pads because the bleached ones poison me and give me cramps. And with my normal budget I couldn't justify those purchases, but with stealing I can get those and still afford my electricity bill.

She's an idiot. Don't brag, that's how you get caught. You never know who's going to be a narc. And don't get greedy, steal only a little each time and space it out between actual purchases.

Ah man, don't kill the girlbosses, they're really cool and they eat cockroaches and termites. Plus, they live for years, so when you see one, you can realize that she has memories spanning back years and remembers the same winters you do.
But if you must, they need the damp to survive. So put dehumidifiers and fans in anywhere there's moisture in your house, like bathrooms and basements. Because of their tall legs, poisons don't really work since they just walk over them.

Where the hell do other religious people think other people come from with all the sectarian gay fighting? Do they think their God made other people to shit on or another creator made different humans in its image?, do they think other people have a different source of becoming?

Tbh, I don't know a lot about Jewish religion because religion isn't my special interest, but I'm sure that sort of racial differentiation comes from the whole
>us = good, unknown = bad
Thing that people have made up for the whole existence of humanity, because unknown stuff is considered hostile by many, so anyone who believes in an ethnic religion will always be more likely to be wary of others different to them.
In those cases, they're like, the ones that the god of the religion said would be the main followers, like, if you live in a building with blue walls and you only want blue birds, then you will have them at the prettiest blue room, meanwhile those other birds of other colors are allowed to enter the building, and they can even go into the room with the blue birds but they're not treated specially in that building because they're not blue, unlike the blue birds that get special treatments.
That's basically how it works in those cases, the foolish idiots not born into the religion and not sharing the blood of the original followers of the religion are converted so maybe, and only maybe, they can get God's attention.

Basically, like, in the end, God gave us free will because otherwise you and I wouldn't exist. Humanity is filled with good, bad, questionable and bizarre people, some get power and become able to change things however they want.
In the end, only God can truly give the real punishment or reward that everyone should have, we can always try to make justice or make justice in the name of God even, but if you think about it, it's just us silly humans putting words in God's mouth and being unhinged because we're not wise at all, our time here is so short that barely anyone learns anything, and when they learn, it's too late and it's time to die.
We won't ever be able to see God's face while we're alive, so we're doomed to see or join fights until we die, once we die, we will be able to finally understand how life works, and that's probably how we get eternal rest.

I suffer from extreme social retardation, which I've been treating with a lot of success. I'm trying to get into relationships right now, with males because I'm unfortunately straight.
I'm getting to know this guy and he's cool, I like him. Problems:
- I don't know what people in relationships do. I know what friends do. I know what people who are just meeting each other do, but not what a bf/gf is supposed to do.
- he's a normie. Most of his time online is spent on Instagram, twitter and reddit. Most off mine is spent on chan's like this one off on KF.
- I'm a turbofujo
Some questions:
1. What do you do with someone else when you're past the getting to know you phase? If you're not asking questions, finding out new things about them, etc, what comes after?
2. Should I try to normify myself by making a reddit account? I highly doubt he would be interested in chans/KF, and would in fact probably block me everywhere if I even mention them.
3. Would a man realistically respect me if he ever found out I'm a fujo?

>What do you do with someone else when you're past the getting to know you phase? If you're not asking questions, finding out new things about them, etc, what comes after?
Talk about your interests, about the weather, about a fun fact you just found out, I don't mean these specific things, but about your day to day thoughts and feelings. Like some food you ate, food you crave, a music you liked, a movie you want to see. It's like inviting someone into your life, if they like that and enjoy the exchange, there's a chance you'll connect with them.
>Should I try to normify myself by making a reddit account? I highly doubt he would be interested in chans/KF, and would in fact probably block me everywhere if I even mention them.
You could try it out, but don't force yourself if you hate it. I hate reddit, but I use other normie spaces, it's up to you to what you can tolerate. I do think it's healthy to see other sides of the internet besides KF and chans regardless.
>Would a man realistically respect me if he ever found out I'm a fujo?
I can't say for this specific man, but yeah, some don't give a shit. You would have to slowly talk about it though, any obsession or intense interest sounds insane for someone from outside.

So many teachers are in arrested development for whatever reason, and I'm certain it's the reason why some female teachers have sex with like 13 year old scrotes. They are arrested mentally and most likely have been shafted by men, most likely their fathers, their entire life. Probably bullied or made fun of in middle-high school. So when they become teachers they do act as secondary caregivers to these kids, you are dealing with a LOT of neglected children every single day. They have low self esteem and they think that young girls are TOO dramatic and retarded because they probably received no care in their shitty developmental years so why should the girls they take care of and teach? A girl having a bad home life or being targeted by her pornsick moid classmates is normal! Why should she act out? Whereas a moid getting neglected at home is very, very sad because moids are supposed to be put above women and girls!
It's retarded patriarchal conditioning.

My brain really can’t comprehend how someone can become grossly obese like this? You’d have to have the privilege to be eating every single minute of the day while sitting down and legitimately never moving/exercising.

I like doing it!” And then she was like “oh uh I just— maybe I’m I’m overthinking it— ok” I was too retarded in the moment to realize that maybe I was making her really uncomfortable… Idk I just genuinely like taking care of my friends

Honestly the only thing I can think of besides her thinking I’m making a move (I don’t think that’s it because we’re both in relationships) is that she’s black and even though I’m Latino maybe she thought I was patronizing her or something? That feels so uncharitable though. Or maybe she had a friend hold money over her before? That’s the exact kind of thing I try to avoid, in the age of venmoing to the penny split for cheap coffees and fighting over nickel and diming i want my friends to know that their friendship and time is worth more to me than money

Handmade stuffed toys are the best, my friend made then with recycled materials from her home like some spare fabric she found and stuffing from an old pillow, I love them a lot.
I've also gotten small notebooks, cute pens, erasers and a small pouch with a zipper.
I would recommend gifting a pillow that's not too expensive, in my country you can find pillows for 10 dollars and they're really nice, it's something unexpected and really useful, it's funny too but somehow not too personal.
I also like to make simple jewelry like bracelets or simple earrings, specially if the friend in question is kind of quirky because it's fun.
