>>2457791if you have an insecurity and it fixes it, like dark under eyes, thin lips or short lashes, then the makeup will give you euphoria. And you might feel a slight sadness that you don't look that way naturally. But as for it becoming an addiction? That's not going to happen. Because the process of putting it on, and taking it off is so tedious that you'll be repelled most of the time to restart the process even if you enjoy the results. Sort of like a runner's high, or endorphins from going to the gym. Yes you'll feel euphoria from doing it but it's not strong enough to keep you hooked on it if you're a lazy person. Addictions come from quicky and easy to achieve highs, not so much labourous tasks. Especially since the feel of makeup on the skin is so suffocating, which makes the euphoria a brief excitement. It's most fun to wear to take photos, or just for sort events like clubbing in the evening, or group-outings. Where you can come home after a few short hours. But the irritation of feeling it on your skin will grate you if you wear it an extended time too. Plus the relief from washing it off is it's own intense euphoria. Take that from me who was raised on beauty guru youtube, but I still spend most of my year makeup-free despite having a 5 story shelf of makeup products sitting on my desk. It's like how you treated toys as a child, super fun before you got so used to it you grew bored.

Why does it bother nobody that none of the climate propaganda stuff from the 2000s came true?
I remember watching this in school and New York was supposed to be underwater, the ice was supposed to have all disappeared off Mount Fiji in ten years. It was all supposed to have happened but none of it did.
Yet shit's still going the same and they've shifted the apocalypse further down the road.

No. 2460786
>>2460779To be fair to them, I think a lot of the overly dramatic imagery and timelines used in movies and speeches about climate change at the time like this were basically them using the most pessimistic predictions to spread awareness and fire people up about climate change, because our policies were not (and still are not) moving fast enough to combat it. A lot of predictions have come true, like the global temperature rising past 2.5C, carbon dioxide levels at an all time high, more intense hurricanes. I don't know about you but the climate in my area is definitely changing, just very slowly. The big flashy changes like NY and Florida underwater, acid rain filling the skies etc, it seems like they were just scare tactics, a way to try and get people to care by illustrating a consequence viscerally. I don't think it was the best tactic but I'm not a climate scientist and it's not like they could see the future anyway. That doesn't mean the climate isn't changing and it's not a huge concern, though.

But a lot of nations committed to clean energy projects, anti-pollution laws, and legislation controlling emissions! And that helped slow down climate related disasters. Depending on how old you are, you might remember a lot of talk about the hole in our ozone layer. It was going to be pretty devastating. Well, due to a lot of work put in to reduce the production of chemicals contributing to it, the hole is not getting any bigger, and is starting to close up.
It's pretty cool having evidence that climate activists were able to achieve their goals, it helps combat doomerism.

Why do people have to mix up all the environmental stuff in one big group? They're unrelated issues and often fixing one would exacerbate the other.
Ozone hole has nothing to do with global warming and climate activists. We fixed the ozone hole problem because we had replacements for CFCs and HCFCs which weren't significantly more expensive. These replacements though have a huge greenhouse effect. So fixing the ozone hole made global warming worse.

I’m 20 and have a loose grip on reality. What are some early signs of schizophrenia? Internet is kind of vague about it from what I’m seeing when I search? Like it could apply to anyone going through shit. But I hear typical onset for women is around early twenties to early thirties.

They think it makes them any different from any of the other “whores”. Sad. They especially love to larp as “amab” too, it’s like a fetish or something I swear. It’s funny that a lot of naturally uberfeminine women like this go the route (by stalking/prior experiences with others I can kinda tell she’s coming off of testosterone + ED and yet she still looks this feminine) and I’m kind of assuming a bit of drug use too, their heads are genuinely fucked up.
I unfortunately find her and others super cute and it kills that me they go this far for male validation, especially the “tomboys” (not her) - there are more that cater to men than ones that like women kekhttps://www.tiktok.com/@grayson.interrupted/video/7485244519529811246 (link won’t embed for some reason)

You mentioned fear of looking for mental health treatment due to feeling like it will be lost time. If you have access to it I really think you should try it. I'm in my 30s, also a thirdie, also hated myself and felt like an empty shell of a person. Started treatment at your exact age. The journey was hard but very rewarding. Building the person you want to be through dedication, discovering the good parts of yourself you were never able to see, realizing who you are and how capable you are is amazing. It's not lost time, it's an investment into your long term happiness. 23 is young, 30 is young. You missed out on some experiences, so did I, but these things don't create an emptiness, you still lived during that time, your experiences were just different. Your introspection and daydreaming were still experiences and they can be valuable if you invest in working with them instead of resenting them.

If i meet a assertive, confident and outspoken man i don't think he's "masculine" i just think he's a assertive, confident and outspoken man. If i meet a meek, nurturing, empathetic, sympathetic, sensitive woman i don't think she's "feminine" i just think she's those traits i mentioned. When most people call a man masculine or a woman feminine they don't even know what they're saying, they just say it to compliment them even if they both have the exact same traits. Masculinity and femininity being pushed as innate personalities like something akin to being spiritual, is a cultural psyop to further atribute and define men with "good", superiority and dominance and women with "bad", inferiority and submissiveness with women.

>>2464371i don’t understand women like this. what does this even mean? i can understand being attracted to different energies so i’m not talking about sexual attraction here, but i don’t understand women who seem to see femininity as negative. “what good is a man who doesn’t act masculine?” makes no sense to me. it wouldn’t make sense to me if someone said what good is a woman who doesn’t act feminine either and if a man said that people would clown him rightfully. like this isn’t even about looks it’s about personality. what do you attribute to these traits exactly? so odd.
i also don’t understand how you can have disdain for femininity without having disdain for yourself and other women too. (no i’m not talking about who you want to fuck, again that’s different - i just mean generally.) especially when feminineness is mostly consideration for other human beings while masculinity is acting like a roided out dick “alpha male” who takes no shit kek

>>2465309It really isn't, you're confusing correlation with causation. All of Michael Jackson's named
victims ended up married to women, for instance, and there are plenty of gay men who were never molested. Kids don't become gay because they were molested. It's the other way around; gay or GNC children are more likely to be targeted
because they are more vulnerable. That's how grooming works: groomers will often go out of their way to seek out
victims who are outcasts, because those kids have less of a social support network to fall back on.

>>2465672Can I be honest here? I never understood how rape is both entirely and always about power. If people want power, they can use blackmail or physically threaten you with a beat down. But rape? Rape is sexual. If a person gets to the point where they
force their genitals onto another person, there is no way that no sort of sexual feeling is there. This is like when scrotes try to say that most child molesters aren't attracted to children. That is one of the most retarded things I've ever heard in my life. A person who would sexually assault a child is not attracted to children? A person that would sexually abuse an animal doesn't mean he's a zoophile? A person that would sexually assault a corpse doesn't automatically have necrophilia? It feels like a psyop to have women reluctant to call pedophiles what they are. Which brings me back to my original point, how is it that rape is entirely just about power when there has to be some type of sexual feelings involved if the perpetrator is attacking in such a specific and sexual way? Again, I don't think it's entirely about power. I think a person's sense of lust has to be sick and overflowing if they're going to go that far and bastardize the act of sex. Like a disgusting fly that thinks with its instincts and dives in with little thought other than listening to its sick craving. Too stupid in the heat of the moment to control itself beyond squirming through methods to get to some food. Just wanting.
I think sex being entirely about power works best when you apply it to the study the phrase actually came from. In the context, a straight man forcing himself on another straight man could be entirely about power, if we have faith that he's truly straight and not "secretly" a gay rapist booty warrior in the first place. But in the context of a man going after a woman, I don't think it's entirely about power if we keep in mind that most males are attracted to women to some degree. It's still about power. But I don't think it's
entirely about power. Like I kept repeating, I think when it's man on woman, at least a quarter of his emotions is that ape brain in his skull letting his basic attraction to women and her specifically become obsessive, sick and overflowing to the point of assault.
No. 2465840
>>2465804You're right, also, my issue with seeing rape as something entirely about power is a little simple detail.
>Sex can't happen if no one is aroused.>>2465672You would have to be really sheltered or retarded to not see that. If you have tried to masturbate when you're not aroused, or if you had gone to a gynecologist and gotten the Qtip in your vagina, you will notice how even the tiny Qtip can't really enter if you don't relax.
Same with moids, moids just can't get it up if they're not somehow aroused, otherwise the penis would bend like a worm on a string and it wouldn't be able to penetrate an asshole or even a vagina, specially forcibly, because if one of the people in the sex act isn't aroused, the other person just will need to use lots of force (hence why rape is so traumatic).
So in the end, rape IS about sex mixed indeed with the power aspect, but it has to be primarily about sex, because otherwise it just wouldn't be physically possible.
No. 2465877
>>2465804>I never understood how rape is both entirely and always about power. Because it's not. The degree to which power comes into play varies between cases. Sometimes there's very little attraction component like in the gay guy groping scenario anon brought up, and other times the attraction is more central, like with stalkers who rape
victims. You have to remember that power and sex are inextricably linked in the male psyche, which is why so many fetishes involve dominance, humiliation, etc.
No. 2465898
>>2465695Pushing back against rape myths underpinned by misogynistic views of sexual purity is not a blanket defense of scrotes. There's literally nothing preventing the same logic from being applied to women besides some weakass "because I said so" shit. If you're going to argue that being molested is why gay men are gay, then logical consistency demands that you also believe that every lesbian who claims to have been molested by a man is either lying about the assault or lying about being a lesbian. Because by your logic dick is apparently so enticing that being raped by a man as a child guarantees that you'll be into dick as an adult.
Trying to argue that molestation is the "cause" of sexual orientation and trying to act like it only applies to moids is like when troons say that tranracialism is "totally different" from transgenderism. No it isn't. It's fucked up to accuse
victims of CSA of being attracted to their abusers because of the abuse regardless of sex, and it perpetuates rape myths that are harmful to women even if you think you're "exclusively" applying them to men. I know damn well the same anons spouting this crap about child molestation are the same ones who think women are forever unclean if they've ever had anal sex or performed oral, even if they were unfairly pressured into it. This bullshit isn't "feminism," no matter how much you insist that it is.

so discreet that rape affects two group of children so differently, especially pre-puberty. The mental traumas of child rape manifest pretty similarly in kids of both sexes, though girls are more adversely affected because of cultural attitudes surrounding female purity. Rape does not cause people to be gay, straight, or anything else. Pointing that out isn't "defending men." If you said that male humans have three eyeballs and two stomachs, I'd call you wrong in that case, too. Hating men doesn't give you impunity to lie, in fact, making shit up just makes you seem less credible when there are plenty of provably true things men do that are disgusting and horrible.

You're engaging in a classic motte and bailey tactic, saying something that is probably untrue (homosexuality is exclusively the direct result of childhood rape) then retreating to a completely different, defensible position (males are more likely to have paraphilias) when challenged.
It is not "defending men" to point out that your initial premise is factually wrong. I despite Donald Trump, but if you said he was a reptilian, I'd call you wrong on the basic principle that I despise lies, especially ones that are old as dirt and have been proven to be lies countless times over. Who does it benefit to lie about the bad things moids do when there are already so many horrible things about moids that are actually true? What is the point?
>>2465982It literally is not truthful! You are "le both sides"ing a debate that tons of actual research has handily disproven. This is not a question of the "soyence not being there yet," like it is with gender medicine, because rounding up a bunch of gay people and/or survivors of CSA and documenting their sexual behaviors is something you can actually do. For instance, you can ask fags whether they were molested, or CSA
victims whether they had inclinations toward one sex or the other
before being victimized. It's not like gender medicine, where testing the long-term effects of blockers is difficult because activist entities keep shutting down those endeavors, and because the hippocratic oath makes it hard to justify knowingly giving children a drug that could harm them as part of a clinical trial. Even entertaining the idea that there is a "both sides" to the idea of molestation causing homosexuality is like trying to "both sides" intelligent design.

>>2466244Serial killers have generally been replaced by mass murderers, due to a number of factors. First, there's the lead-crime hypothesis; people with elevated blood lead levels are more likely to engage in criminal behavior, and Americans were exposed to massive amounts of airborne lead during the years that unleaded gasoline was legal. The legalization of the birth control pill and abortion are also factors here, because way fewer children were being born to women who lacked the resources to raise them. Basically, we went from having a whole generation of children born to teen/drug addict mothers who were also exposed to dangerous levels of lead, to having a whole generation of children that were more likely to be planned and less likely to be exposed to lead.
Those are the societal factors, but there are technical ones at play at well. Serial killers are fundamentally the product of police incompetence, and I'm not just saying that to be woke. The most prolific serial killers targeted gay men, drug addicts, black women, and prostitutes, because those are the groups police had the least interest in protecting. Police even had a term for when people they viewed as "undesirable" were victimized "No humans involved." Basically, they didn't give a fuck is fags or prostitutes or blacks were killed, especially if the suspect was a "respectable" white man. Police literally saw Dahmer in the process of killing a naked Laotian child and
chose to do nothing. The mother of one of Gacy's
victims called the police on him over a hundred times, to no avail. Ted Bundy escaped police custody
twice. And those are just the most famous examples.
The serial killer epidemic didn't end with police becoming more competent, though. It ended with technology becoming advanced enough to compensate for police retardation. There are cameras everywhere, we have DNA evidence, forensic genealogy, and the internet allows all departments access to criminal databases. So now, if someone wants to kill a bunch of people, he has to do it all at once, hence the rise of mass shootings coinciding with the decline of serial killers. Fun fact, the Bear Brook killer and the Golden State killer were both caught by a retired woman from New Zealand with no police training.

Compare usernames to their real name and aliases and see if anything looks similar, see if the profile pic is them or not. If your target is not following their friend, the friend might still be following them - but usually people follow a lot more accounts than they get followed so it's a longer more random list.

>>2468799It's one of those illnesses that retards like to pretend to suffer from so as to shield themselves from personal responsibility and accountability. ARFID (Avoidant
or Restrictive Food Intake Disorder) was created as a diagnosis in 2013 with the publication of the DSM-V, it replaced the previous diagnosis of Feeding Disorder of Early Childhood. Clinically, this disorder is most often seen in young children that suffer from forms of autism or a severe anxiety disorder. ARFID is basically "picky eating" but to an extreme that negatively impacts the health and well-being of children, specifically in relation to a failure to thrive or malnutrition.
Most clinicians wouldn't diagnose an adult with ARFID because it's widely seen as a disorder of childhood, and almost unanimously accepted as a childhood-specific diagnosis. An adult would really struggle to get diagnosed with ARFID from a well-trained and experienced psychologist or psychiatrist.
Most of the munchies you see online claim specific illnesses because they're incapable of dealing with personal responsibilities or admitting to negative behaviour, most likely caused by latent egoism. So, they use these illnesses as a way to shield their egos.

>>2469211Yes, basically you're creating a fabric super highway from the anus to the vagina and urethra. In normal underwear, the fabric is not pressing directly against the anus, so the risk of directly picking up bacteria is lessened. Once the fecal bacteria are on the fabric, with normal underwear, there are several directions they can go. Bacteria aren't smart, they don't have a concept of where the vagina and urethra are, they just pick a random direction and go, but since there are so many of them, a certain percentage will pick the correct direction. With a thong, there are only two directions, so fifty percent of any of the bacteria picked up (which is going to be a greater amount since the fabric is rubbing directly against the anus), is going to head straight for vagina/urethra. Then, once they are there, the string of a thong rubs the bacteria directly against the entrances, while the fabric of underwear doesn't press them so directly. So they're pretty unhygienic and I would not advise them.

Help me understand the following interaction I had with a moid:
>be me
>apply to ad for "cash side hustle" job on fb marketplace
>ad mentions that there are positions available for construction, cleaning, delivery driver, line cook, warehouse, etc, for $15 per hour
(for context i live in canada, minimum wage in my province is $17.20 but under-the-table cash jobs get posted to job listings all the time for $12-$15/hr, so this is nothing out of the ordinary)
>call the phone number and set up meeting for interview
>we meet at a coffee shop and sit and talk
>hiring manager moid introduces himself in a friendly way, mentions that i am attractive
>i politely thank him, introduce myself, and talk about my job skills and experience
>i mention that i'm unemployed and have been for a while now, therefore i can dedicate more time to the "side hustles" and am available all day
>he once again mentions that i'm attractive and starts talking about how he has "special jobs for women like me"
>politely decline, and mention that i have experience in warehouse jobs and would be happy to work at one again
>he tries to tell me about his "special jobs for attractive women", the first one is 'erotic companionship', the second is custom onlyfans content creation
>he tries to sell me on how "good" these are, telling me about how the erotic companionship job pays $100/hr which is "way more than $15 and therefore so much better" and the onlyfans job is paid on a content basis, where i can be paid more based on which content requests I fulfill for the customers on his "content house" onlyfans, and I'll get 70% of profit from the content and lifetime royalties
>"but of course the warehouse job is still available if you reeeaallllyyy want it"
>"yes, please give me the warehouse job"
>he shakes my hand, gets up, and tells me "okay, i will get back to you"
>later that evening he texts me and asks if i'm sure i don't want any of the other available jobs
>i reply back and say i'm also open to cleaning work or construction, talk about my qualifications in construction since i had only briefly mentioned it earlier
>he asks me once again if i'm interested in the photographer model (onlyfans) work, calls me once again to talk about how i'll be able to start immediately and make up to $1000 weekly for 2-3 hours of work, "an opportunity no woman would miss in this economy"
>"or do you really want to work 20-40 hours in construction or at a warehouse for $300-$600?"
>"Yes."
>He says okay and that he'll touch base with me tomorrow
>rest of the week goes by with no text/call from him
>text him back to follow up, remind him of my experience and availability
>recieve no reply for hours, finally he responds "Cool." with a thumbs up emoji
So what was this? Human trafficking scheme, or is he genuinely just assblasted that an "attractive young woman" like me would rather work at a warehouse for $15/hr than be pimped out by him or make porn, regardless of how much it pays?
I'm leaning towards "pathetic rejected scrote meltdown" because a moid i know replied to the ad before me and got placed in a warehouse job the next day. Am I simply unlucky? Did I do something wrong? I do have autism but act very normal on the outside, so maybe there's something I'm missing

He was on an extended sick leave recently-ish cause he fucked up his foot playing sports and I didn't see him or talk to him in months and I stopped thinking about him almost completely. But then he came back to work and we started messaging each other again and here we are again.
It's interesting you bring up addiction, cause I think that's what it is. I'm deeply unhappy in my romantic life so it checks out. He's very hot&cold with me and I'm addicted to the high/rush I get when he does give me attention, it's unlike anything else. He has rejected me like three times but each time he came back to my life one way or another despite me trying to forget about him.

What is actually wrong with the job market right now? I've heard a lot of complaints here in the UK but also found that it's the same way in America and other places in Europe where people with years of experience in an industry just can't get accepted for a job role. Why is this? I remember growing up my relatives would just get jobs that were local to them relatively easy and there wasn't any crazy assessment process or hoops to jump through. Also applying for 30+ jobs with no response was unheard of back then. It's horrifying and I don't see it getting better any time soon.
Is it because there's too many people and not enough jobs now? AI? Nepotism and "who you know" culture prevailing over actual skill? I'm seeing things of people with perfect CVs and a lot of experience getting turned down or not even having word back from employers anymore. What the hell is going on?

>>2471734Companies use AI to comb through applications and resumes. Unless you made it to the interview, it's unlikely a human being ever laid eyes on your submissions. A lot of job listings are just straight-up fake, and those are called "ghost jobs," which companies use to compare wages with competitors and "gauge interest," whatever the fuck that means. Too many people have degrees now, so everyone is overqualified, but also under-experienced because the jobs where you could
get experience require experience to apply for. AI is also often used to generate lists of requirements, and these lists often aren't based on what the job actually requires, but on some know-nothing higher-ups "wishlist" of unrealistic traits based on what he theorizes is necessary for a job. So you end up with a job where the person just answers the phone and e-mails being posted as requiring several years of experience with all sorts of different software the company doesn't use, as well as a degree and five years experience. Shit's fucked, I don't know how anyone gets by anymore.

>>2471734Every answer you would get to this is really just going to be an opinion, so I'll offer mine.
tl;dr doom and gloom
Many of the jobs that have been cut, particularly in tech, never needed to exist. Projects that were obviously never going to turn a profit, groups of employees basically fleecing their employers by making up work that needs to be done (see: most UI redesigns), manipulating numbers to convince your investors that other people will invest more money, etc. (I often wonder if Elon's DOGE cuts are largely projection.)
A lot of how tech valuation works nowadays (and the stock market generally, though it's much less of a problem in other industries) is not very different from gambling on shitcoins. Interest rates used to be extremely low, meaning that borrowing money was basically free. You had to pay back what you borrowed of course, but you didn't even have to profit more than inflation to be able to pay off your loan. And since so many people had access to this "free money," most semi-atfractive investments ended up attracting a lot of investors and a lot of money. One common paradigm in tech was the idea of "growth over everything": Growth over profitability, over revenue, etc, as these would guarantee some made-up idea of future profitability (and ability to destroy and buy out the competition) more than stuff like having a good product or sensible long-term sustained profitability plan. So, popular tech companies to invest in would dramatically increase their headcount and make up random, semi-plausible side projects and bullshit to work on, and they'd promise investors that eventually one of them would pay off, and they'd all be rich. Of course, the end game at that point wasn't to be invested in a highly profitable company– both investors and people working for the company are largely compensated in stock. It doesn't matter to them if the company becomes profitable really, beyond that
maybe attracting more investors. (Growth attracts even more! Hence the "hypergrowth" buzzword.) And of course, investors want to pull their money out and realize their profits before the stock price starts to stall or, heaven forbid, drop.
Now that investment capital has dried up, passing the buck along to the next group of investors is a lot harder, as prices began stalling and dropping across the board, and nobody wants to be stuck holding the bag. Companies are quickly pivoting to a model where they're trying to prove that they are profitable long-term to attract investors that realize the above and that want to make safe investments before the bubble pops. (In fact, this model is becoming it's own investment hype cycle, hence Microsoft and Meta, among others, saying they are making "performance cuts," when really, they're performing layoffs in the exact same way they always have.) Other companies are trying to hop on the AI train so they can keep sprouting out shitty, barely plausible lies about how they will totally earn you a ton of money in the future because of some real world value that investors have only pretended to care about since around the early 2000's. AI is not delivering on its extreme promises though, so those jobs are gone, and a company operating safely will grow extremely slowly.
Outsourcing is also a huge problem. People will tolerate shitty service from poorly educated ESL third worlders because quality simply doesn't matter when most industries are racing to the bottom. The 1st world economy is based around working from a laptop, and you can do that from literally anywhere. Now, the main benefit of hiring highly-paid westerners isn't that they're more knowledgeable or anything like that, it's that they're better able to communicate with and please the extremely wealthy westerners that make up an absolutely insane percent of discretionary spending power. You simply don't need very many of those people, though.
Everything I wrote is very tech specific, but similar problems affect other industries. Private equity is also a huge problem. E.g., in healthcare, if you are operating ethically and with adequate staffing, and you refuse to sell out to private equity, you will be outcompeted and crushed until you go bankrupt or you are forced to sell, at which point your business will be sucked dry and become a shell of its former self. And of course, job cuts are one very important part of that equation.
Imo, we've been running on borrowed time ever since we were able to secure the basic needs of most everyone living in 1st world countries and since we reached a certain level of "productivity" per person. At some point, any more work that gets done is very made-up, especially if it's not stuff like improving infrastructure. However, we have to make up work, as our society is set up such that almost everyone needs to work full time to have access to enough money to live. We're at a point where the people at the top are running out of incentives to make up work for the proles, and the proles are financially unable to make it up themselves. It's a really dangerous situation to be in.
This was always going to become unsustainable at some point, but the broken machine of our economy will be able to limp along for an extremely long time, especially since the wealth and retirements of all middle and upper class Americans depend on it. There will be no dramatic collapse that you can prepare for and try to time. The decline is going to be slow and painful, and unless something fundamentally changes, it's really only downhill from here.
No. 2471978
>>2471894I think healthcare is a very safe bet for long-term employability. The issue with it is that working conditions are generally suboptimal, and they'll get worse at the field gets increasingly corporatized, and breaking into the field isn't super easy. And we will probably import people from poorer countries to do the jobs that are easier to break into, like nursing. However, I don't think that'll be a problem for a while, so it'd probably still be a good idea to become a nurse now and work your way up to a higher responsibility position over your career. Becoming a doctor is really tough and imo not worth it unless you really, really value prestige and/or you need to find meaning in your work.
Also, under no circumstances should anybody go to pharmacy school.
Otherwise, no clue. There will always be some level of demand for industrial stuff, but I think it's largely met, and you have to work with turbo boomers. I think there's a real chance demand will go up if we finally decide to improve our infrastructure, but not by an earth shattering amount or anything. Sciences are dependent on government funding, hence the current collapse of that job market in the US. Ditto for humanities but even worse.
There's really no telling overall, though. I can predict ways that things might fail, but it's hard to know how to take advantage of them, even if my predictions do come true.
Maybe we could become landlords so we can become parasitic rent-seekers before that door is closed to all but the most wealthy… unless the market collapses.

>>2472597Not all anachans are created equal. Some workout like crazy, some live on small amounts of junk food, some only eat super healthy food, some restrict on relatively high calories for a long enough period to lose weight, some seem to have superhuman resilience and will never die despite looking like a corpse. There seems to be two main types of anachans - the NEET type who want to be coddled children who never grow up who probably do just lie around atrophying vs the type A perfectionist, high functioning types who just get shit done regardless of their physical condition.
You can also just assume that their health deteriorates over time and creeps up on them. They lack long term perspective and don't think too far into the future. For me, something like bulimia is unthinkable because of the potential damage to my teeth, anorexia and not doing strength training is unthinkable because of concern for my bone density… for someone with an ED, they aren't thinking any further than the number on the scales the next day. I don't think they can even imagine being old or ever caring about their bodies beyond their weight.
No. 2472639
>>2472630The mental aspect definitely counts, but there's no reason someone doing those things couldn't become underweight. It's just different strategies. Like, 'low restricting' might be anachans who eat 300 calories a day in order to lose weight in a short period of time, 'high restricting' would be 1000 calories a day to lose the same amount in a longer period of time. The latter will most likely maintain enough strength to function in daily life, while still eating at a caloric deficit. They can actually maintain low weights more easily because it's less likely to
trigger binge eating and they can exercise.

>>2471021"Prince" or "princess" isn't always used for the children of kings or queens. Prince can be a ruling title in its own right. So, for example, the eldest child of the monarch of the UK is styled the "Prince of Wales," because Wales was once considered a principality. So, all sons of the British monarch are considered princes, but the eldest son is considered the Prince of Wales, as in ancient times he would rule Wales while giving allegiance to the King of England.
In larger kingdoms, the lands are often divided into smaller jurisdictions. So one kingdom might have many counties, some principalities, a duchy or two. Counties are ruled by counts or viscounts. Duchies are ruled by dukes. Principalities are ruled by princes. In a kingdom, these rulers would give allegiance to the king, but these jurisdictions can exist in their own right too. So for example, the monarch of Monaco is the Prince of Monaco, because Monaco is a principality. In Luxembourg, the monarch is the Grand Duke of Luxembourg, because Luxembourg is a grand duchy.
The monarchs of Russia held the title of Czar (or Tsar.) It's the Russian form of the Roman Caesar, since Imperial Russia considered itself the rightful successor of the Roman Empire. The children of the Russian monarch were given the titles of Grand Duke, but the eldest son was called the Tsarevich. E.g., Tsar Nicholas II had 4 daughters, the Grand Duchesses Olga, Tatiana, Maria, and Anastasia, and one son, Tsarevich Alexei.

Can name-drop people you’d consider famous if you were a computer dork. He says 5 so ago years ago he started seeing a lot more people from his long-term network leaving tech or recommending getting out of tech, saying it’s not what it was and it’ll probably never be like that again. He himself recently left to finish out his last few years at a much more stable nonprofit position.
I started college in CS and am grateful every day I didn’t stay there. Current job is tech-adjacent so I’m surrounded by coworkers who are looking for a change for whatever reasons but can’t because their market is so saturated.

>>2473028You can still find jobs but like
>>2473058 said they’re in companies that aren’t tech focused like FAANG. I’m in grad school for CS so take what I say with a grain of salt of course, but every person I know who has gone on to be gainfully employed is so because of the connections they already had or made. I’m not sure how far along you are in your degree but if you have a short time left I personally would stick it out and apply to internships like mad. Take advantage of any resources your school has for new grads or getting an internship and just be prepared to apply to jobs for a bit. Keep in mind job hunting right now is pretty shit no matter the field you’re in, so if you do decide to change majors make sure you know what you’re getting into.

>>2474229The best way to do it, for all types of moids, is by conditioning. You can find magic mushroom spores on lots of internet websites, order some and grow them. It's super easy. Once they've grown, figure out the dosing using online calculators. Use very very trace amounts (i.e., a microdose) in cooking or baking. Find excuses to give the moid in question the food, e.g., "oh, I made these cookies last night, I have extra do you want one?" Do this consistently for about two months, offering baked treats once or twice a week. The moid will experience intense euphoria from the microdose, but because he's not aware that it's a drug reaction, he'll be conditioned to think that your baking (and by proxy, you) is what makes him feel that way. After a few weeks, he'll be practically begging to see you and be with you because he's in love with that euphoric feeling that he gets from the drugs, which he will think is really from you. This can be used in more ways than just getting boyfriends, I've used it to get promotions in the past at work as well as rent discounts. It's almost fool-proof, as long as you dose correctly and use more sugar than a recipe calls for to balance out the mushroom taste.

What is regular sleepover etiquette? Just came to my attention I’ve never really thought about it? Childhood to teens to now in my 20s it’s always been normal to stay in the same bed or if one of you prefers space then sleep on the floor (but not the couch and definitely not a different room), shower at the house obviously bringing a toothbrush with PJs and a change of clothes but if you need PJs sharing clothes isn’t weird friends have even offered a toothbrush when I forgot mine before which I did use but even I recognise that as odd, and showering is fine morning and night in fact imo even both is normal?, don’t bring your own food unless you’re trying extra hard to be nice or want to buy snacks, leaving first thing in the morning is kind of weird unless there’s a schedule or your mood.
For me anything other than this would seem redundant because otherwise why would you be having a sleepover? On the other hand I’ve recently found out people usually change in the same room after a shower but I thought you’d do that in the bathroom for privacy kek. Even wandering around in a towel in someone’s house seems kind of embarrassing for me though less so if they live alone and I wouldn’t think it weird for someone else to do it at mine. I guess changing in front of each other is a step more than sleeping in the same bed to me for some reason.
I also don’t drink or like to take in people who need to crash and I think I’d find the etiquette different here, same with less informal guests. But even for male friends it’s been similar, just more likely to choose the floor option. My high school friend group was mixed-sex and we were all very close despite the amount of people and had group sleepovers where we’d all sleep on the floor together packed like sardines.

She was angry but let it happen. Turns out she was right to be strict because at some points he groped some girls in their sleep, actually it might have been at that sleepover too? Damn. We were 14-15.
I didn’t tell me parents it wasn’t only girls - I think my mother would have let me but demand more info to keep in contact and my dad would not have until maybe 18 or something. Also, most of my friend group was bi so I think we had a bit of a blurred bar for things? I mean now that I think about it the girls were non-consensually inappropriate to the other girls way more often.
>I would be so drained and ready to go homeFair, to be honest I do feel like that for group sleepovers, social battery absolutely gone and sometimes I get snippy. But with a close friend I do desire to hang out with them some more and leaving straight away feels a bit lonely.

No. 2475356
>>2475326its definitely a bit more complex than this but to put it simply, anything going in or out of the US will have an extra fee; because of the extra fee US manufacturers are more persuaded to buy products and goods inside the US so they do not have to pay the extra fee.
Because US manufacturers and consumers are buying products created and sold in the US only, Countries that import their products to the US lose sales and would have a significant profit cut because of the import fee.
>>2475322You need to make sure your fluid intake is proportionate to the extra fiber you consume. Theres also a difference between soluble fiber and insoluble fiber, the former breaking down with water and aids in softening the stool (e.g. oats, peas, beans, apples, bananas, avocados)
Extra/decreased fiber isnt a catch all cure for constipation and it could potentially be caused by other factors such as stress and low activity; alternative methods such as working out can also help with aiding constipation

>>2475090Somewhat, it varies from patient to patient. To preface dementia is a broad umbrella of symptoms that all relate to the progressive loss of cognitive function so while some syndromes may manifest worse than others, its hard to pinpoint linear issues to patients suffering from general dementia.
However usually during the earlier stages of dementia most patients are aware of the cognitive loss or a memory blank causing difficulty in their daily living tasks. It manifests in frustration and shame. As dementia progresses, the "missing spaces" will no longer register to the patient.

I think part of it is that
toxic people need the most help, they are immature gross children who won't help themselves so you genuinely feel like they "need" you to help them. I think the karmic lesson is that no good deed goes unpunished. And doing something because it's "the right thing to do" or because you can help, is not a good enough reason alot of the time. Learning where your energy is actually going to be appreciated is a hard lesson to learn when you have been conditioned to live for other people.

Do people actually use this many products on their hair? I can't even use conditioner since it makes my hair feel oily.

>>2478548I already lost a bit (I was BMI 14 before) it slimmed down a bit but still chubby.
I think people overestimate how drastic low BMIs look, Eugenia is like a BMI of 8-9, Hoyeon Jung is probably BMI 14 if my friends weights are accurate? But I look way chubbier than that.
Obviously I still have my period and my bf% is like 25 unfortunately.

>>2478550>Do people actuallyYes although opinions are slowly changing and the "curly girl" community is starting to favor all in one products or just focusing on that brush styling part. That pic's nothing, there's some people who hop on social media to flex their 7-10 step curly hair routines
>>2478558Exactly. Went from that pic to just mousse and/or gel and have never had better results

>>2478550Depends on the hair, that seems for people with curly hair which does require a lot of maintenance. Kinky curly hair needs even more. Men and women with short hair use gel, wax or pomade to style theirs. Women with thick, coarse hair usually style theirs with heat. If you have fine hair and not a lot of it, your hair might get weighed down or greasy easily, even just from the wrong conditioner.
TL;DR: Depends on what grows out of your head and how well it behaves

>>2478605I can’t really tell if I should be thankful that he’s kind dumb so it will be easy to figure out his psychology and motives OR if I feel annoyed that once again, I’m like 20 steps ahead every time because he’s just not that clever. This always happens to me because men generally are not that clever—they don’t have to be when everything is catered to them and they’re always assumed to be competent by default.
Re: relationships…It feels isolating to be the secretly clever one in the relationship (while the guy always thinks he’s so brilliant, and I just fucking play along to placate him and let him have that sense of “control” when I’m the one who is always 20 steps ahead). BUT at the same time, if he was smarter he could actually go behind my back and do all sorts of things.
So, what are intelligent women supposed to do here? Is it safer to date a dumb guy? Hes actually smart in some ways of course but I’m not gonna lie that I find it a little challenging to respect the intellect of someone with such low digital literacy.

>>2478615Ayrt, I think it’s probably a blessing that you know his Reddit. Imagine if his Reddit comments were all on degenerate porn or other gross shit. Many moids have horrific digital footprints.
I think moids are at least intellectually deficient in some areas, but both guys I mentioned in my original reply were academically/career-smart and had good jobs/incomes. Grad school/a degree in something useful and a good income are a requirement in dating for me. I know these moids wouldn’t date me if I was ugly, so I should I date them if they’re poor and stupid? However, despite their good careers, I did realize while dating them both (not at the same time kek) that they were retarded in many ways and would chimp out if I had a different opinion than them. In fact, when I supported my views with hard evidence, they only chimped out more. There’s really no point in trying to find a truly intelligent guy because you probably won’t find him. Instead, consider what kinds of intelligence are most important to you.

>>2478554Hate to say it nona, but you might want to
gain weight so that your face doesn't make you look like a bobble head. There's a balance to everything, and using idols and models as a reference is a Very Bad Idea.
No. 2478763
>>2478656this is so funny because ironically i am somehow a pinhead, like the opposite of a bobblehead. i look like one of those retarded korean head-shrinking filters just soft and mushy.
so unfortunately that wouldn’t work. even if it did i feel like i’d trade being a bobblehead for a nice face because the few kg i lost made me realise fat was making me look like i have chinky eyes.

>>2478550People with those gross weird curls do. I think the curls reddit and most people claiming they've ~mastered their curls~ literally look like they have an 80s jheri curl most of the time. If you have curly hair, it will always look like shit unless you can dry it in the heat with practically no wind pressure (or live in the tropics). Between crunchy/greasy curls and poufy or untangled curls, the latter is 1000% better and more attractive. I think most curly-haired people understand their hair looks better in the summer and why tho

>>2478786I have curly hair and I agree. It sucks because you have to accept you will always need to heat style it in some way. I don't mean to offend some nonnas, but I just really hate it. I have never seen a person with the greasy crunchy curls that I didn't think would look better with styled hair

Why was I into kawaii and lolita fashion when I was a fatty but now that I've lost weight and my dresses actually fit me I just want to dress as normie as possible?

>>2479215>>2479229Guys come on. I know we all hate bippies but there
is very often a history of trauma with them if you look closely enough. Not always, and it's not a "proven fact", but often. No one's saying it excuses anything that they do.
>>2479226>Sometimes you don't need to have trauma you just need a mom/dad with BPD.KEK having a parent with BPD is a trauma in and of itself. There is no escaping being raised by one without at least some trauma.
No. 2479268
>>2479255Kek probably, but scrotes gonna scrote. I did know a guy that was almost definitely BPD (ended up killing himself), who was from a rich family and seemingly had no trauma other than being a fat kid growing up. Turns out he'd been molested as a kid. (Doesn't justify him punching holes in walls and shit but it's understandable)
I'm not saying you're wrong, the ones without trauma do exist, but also males are a lot less likely to ever to admit to something like being a CSA
victim so they just take it out on everyone around them. So even if they did have it it's not like you can tell on the surface.
