I bake as a hobby but I have had a few people ask me to bake for their events. Mainly decorated cookies. I'd like to build out my brand a little and possibly grow this into a lucrative part-time gig alongside my desk job…
Both my husband and I work in an industry where there are lots of events, meetings and opportunities for people to appreciate custom-ordered baked goods. And since I've already been asked a few times I figure I am in a good place to start.

If I am drinking hard liquor, I need an equivalent of about half a bottle of vodka to even feel remotely drunk. (A typical bottle of vodka in my country is 500 ml so I need a 250 ml of 40% alcohol content)
If I am drinking beer, a 500 ml bottle of 6,5% alcohol content beer gets me there just as quickly and effectively.
Is it a body issue? Is it because beer is kinda fizzy and fizzy drinks tend to get to your head quicker?
It always seemed fucking ironic to me since I really, really love coctails with hard liquor and hate most beers (and we have like 2 types of good tasting high alcohol content mainstream beers in our country both of which I am tired of)

Women in same-sex groups are more likely to voice their actual opinions, feel more comfortable disagreeing/calling someone out, debating, arguing, being blunt, whatever. Than they do when men are present. This type of dynamic is challenging for women who are used to men/mixed-sex dynamics, because men don't challenge women.

Online, where everyone's male by default, my opinions and thoughts are valued but irl? Nope. If they care about you, they might pretend for a short amount of time. Otherwise forget about it.

In certain lighting (indoor overhead light, harsh lighting from a lamp, strong sunshine and a shiny face from sunscreen) my nasolabial folds look really bad and in other conditions (softer lighting/daylight that isn't direct sunlight) they're not visible. Which one do I believe? I asked my friends and boyfriend and they all said they're not visible or only sometimes but I don't know if they're just trying to spare my feelings.
The area there isn't even wrinkled really, but my facial fat is distributed in a way that I've always had them (they look like pic related but stretching from the sides of my nose and not that far down), there's always been a clear 'divide' between the area around my mouth/chin and my chubby cheeks. The skin around my nostrils is also darker which makes matters worse.

It's absolutely normal and everyone has them when they make most facial expressions, and some people have them even when their face is resting, nbd. If it's facial fat related than they're likely being honest in that it's not obvious all the time.
There are tons of women with facial lines and sub-optimal fat distribution that are still considered attractive.

Like one male friend was bragging about his tomboy gf and how she wasn't high maintenance like the other girls, and she… just had a pixie cut.

If it's a jaw issue you'd have to see an orthodontist otherwise you can get chin fillers or have the fat removed.

but it's really hard for humans who regularly shower or aren't in super damp environments to grow mold because our skin is good at repelling water at levels mold likes
mold usually doesn't grow on corpses because there's usually too many other bacteria feeding on corpses for mold to grow, and if it's rotting, the mold might not grow on it because not all molds like rotting material to grow on
In order for people to grow mold you'd probably have to cut them up in a sanitized environment and leave them in a fridge or something that already has mold in it

>>433629Hey anon, after getting a fridge that harbored some I can tell you what my family did.
There are gels specifically for roaches, you can apply it really anywhere in their way and they'll carry it back to the nest and nom on it. Borax is also an option as well as it's lethal to them (boric acid is lethal) There are some other powders as well specially made for this purpose. Find where they are hiding. You'll be able to find a ton of eggs that way (maybe dedicate a vacuum to this purpose specifically to dispose) find the pathways they take. It depends on the kitchen but common areas would be, in cupboards (search high and low) and make sure there are no holes in them or way they can hide behind them. Make sure you check the stove, they will hide in appliances. Check your fridge (under and behind), check your dishwasher (they will usually hide on top or behind the insulation). They will hide in base boards and that's how they will often travel to other rooms which is where I recommend sprinkling the powder. I hope your family has no pets for that method though.
If you need a little help tracking them, do it at night. Turn off the lights and wait a bit then turn them back on, some should be around because that's when they hunt for food, at night.
I would also recommend spraying a roach killing spray if you're able to like maybe… Once a week (especially in the nesting area). You really need to track down where the nest is. The mamas are pretty easy to spot and when they know they're dying, they'll usually detach the egg from themself. So you gotta find it fast before the next babies hatch.
Lock up any food you have and make sure the kitchen is clean, starve them a bit. They'll get desperate and appear more often, but that'll be good if you use the gel since they'll take it back.
Remember to apply the poisons to the areas where they travel or commonly go. Make sure pets aren't able to get near them too.
When you find the area(s) (we had 2 areas they specifically were drawn to) that they gather in put some powder (borax is an option) in those areas.
Last but not least… Their nest will most likely be in a dark area but near a food source. My family only had the kitchen to deal with but it is possible for them to hide in other furniture.
Best of luck anon. You'll know the poisons are working when you see them slowly walking or even in daylight. They get really desperate lol.

>>434866I studied in Japan twice (though I was a Polysci major), one semester in Nagasaki and one semester in Tokyo.
Both were easy as fuck. My university in Nagasaki wasn't anything special (small uni), but being in a homestay, having a really hands-on international student department to support us, and being in basically bumfuck, nowhere Japan where almost no one speaks English really helped my Japanese. Not like N5 to N1 level, but I did improve quite a bit (nowhere near fluent, but enough to communicate basic things and hold a semi decent dinner conversation with my host mum). Culture wasn't that difficult to adjust to, then again I grew up a giant fucking weeb so I sort of knew what to expect. My host mum was very, very forgiving with me and my school offered courses on Japanese culture.
In Tokyo, I was at one of the top universities. I don't say this to toot my own horn, but just to say that despite it being a top university, I wasn't really challenged in any of my classes. Then again, I wasn't allowed to enroll in Japanese courses because I didn't apply to it originally (they required a study statement in Japanese and again, my Japanese isn't that good). I'm sure the Japanese courses would've been a lot more enlightening, all the English courses are geared for Japanese students so it's super basic English and the professors expect the absolute bare minimum so getting S in all my classes was basically a given. I did get to take some interesting classes not offered here in the states, and gave up my second semester of Japanese language to take a class with one of my favorite professors (was definitely worth it for my own personal enjoyment).
I've left out so, so many things and your experience (whether in Japan or Russia or SK) will be definitely be different. I was going through a lot emotionally during my time in Tokyo so I unfortunately view it as sort of a stain on my life. It was easy to get by with minimal Japanese and I isolated myself a lot because of the things going on in my life so my Japanese arguably got worse than when I lived in Nagasaki.
Also, since I was a polysci student, it was easy to get all the courses I needed to take and have them count at my home university. I would imagine something like computer science might not be offered for international students (especially since most just come to fuck around and take the most basic classes in culture and language), but some schools might!
No. 434961
>>434930Affording to study in Japan (twice!) was definitely not cheap, but somehow ended up making my overall college expenses cheaper (only paid tuition to my home university, room&board and all that was cheaper in Japan).
It was definitely a no brainer that I'd get into both schools. We have close relationships with them and we get a lot of Japanese students at my universities from them, and it's not like I was failing my courses so they had no reason to reject me (also not that many people applied).
I can't speak for everyone and all schools, but I do feel like the "half-assing everything and visiting places and making friends instead" is pretty much what a study abroad experience is for. You're there to experience the culture, and the classes are really just a side thing. When I lived in Nagasaki they really amped up all the student activities- took us to an onsen, amusement park, some other popular places to really explore and basically absorb Japan into our souls. They told us "you're a student, your main priority is to study" while also knowing you'll really just be off fucking around and figuring out what foreign alcohol tastes the best.
There was a huge difference between the international students who were seriously enrolled in a 4 year course with intention to graduates and international students who were studying abroad. Not to say there aren't those studying abroad who are really trying to get something super academic out of it, but most of us who were on the English track course were mostly there just to be there. Actually thinking back on it, quite a few of my fellow international students in Nagasaki were studying compsci or something similar and knew they were just there for the experience and not for anything beneficial to their major.
That said, they really were impactful life experiences for me and I wouldn't be the person I am today without them, so they're worth it even if you might not get a lot academically out of them! I have a brain full of mostly useless information lol.
No. 434997
>>434961I think "half-assing" was a bit exaggerated, but really my friends who went abroad only studied for tests and did their assignments in a reasonable way, while here in our country everyone else had some nightmarish schedules with nightmarish assignments and our teachers and the administrations lowered many students' grades to "reajust" the average marks in order to give our university a specific reputation. So it's really relative to that.
>they really were impactful life experiences for me and I wouldn't be the person I am today without themAll of my friends said pretty much the same thing. Many of them stayed there after graduating and have well-paying jobs, some are dating or married to people they met there, and other are often going back for holidays. ngl I'm jealous of them because I couldn't go anywhere and our university was very demanding but it was absolutely not rewarding. Other friends who went to English speaking countries instead loved studying abroad as well except one guy who spent a semester in NY and was shocked that everything was way too expensive for him, he had to come back just because of it.

>>435002I shave my legs, pits, and pubes. I don't shave my arms because I just have some peach fuzz.
The reason for everything else is because my hair is super coarse and scraggly.
If I let it grow out it often gets caught in the material of my clothes.
I feel itchier when I have hair; sometimes a breeze across my legs makes the hairs move in such a way that my mind is tricked into thinking there's an insect crawling on me for a split second. It's unsettling.
When I sweat I hate having hair because I feel like the residual is wetter for longer (similar to how short hair dries quicker than long hair). I feel like a wet beast.
Plus I like the visibility of seeing every little bump, scratch, and bruise without noticing because a bunch of hair is covering my skin.

>>435002i have decades' worth of trauma related to waxing and shaving (being forced to since barely hit puberty) so i just flat out decided to stop shaving & waxing at all around 4 years ago and besides the occasional brazilian wax during the summer for comfort reasons, it's made no difference to me. i quite like my body hair, i feel so comfortable with it i often forget i have chewbacca legs. and yes, it weeds out scrotes, which is a big plus.
i don't judge women who wax or shave, it's a personal aesthetic choice and me going all radfem on them is senseless and won't change their minds. i understand my hatred for it comes from a place of trauma and subjectivity, but i do think it's the dumbest double standard and beauty standard to impose on women.

I feel like there's no similar
valid reason to shave my arms/legs, there is visible dark hair, but it's not a lot and it's not uncomfortable. It made me think about it more when the other day my bf was telling me how he was self-conscious about his extremely hairy arms and legs and rarely wears shorts because of it. He's a huge sweetheart and I comforted him about it. But most guys don't even think about how hairy and gross they are, and they show off that shit to everyone. It's pretty stupid how even having a little bit of hair visible on my legs feels like a huge humiliating thing.
Thankfully I never got behind shaving pubic hair, only trimming. If anyone judged me about that I'd show them the door.

It just gets itchy and gives painful ingrown hairs. I do trim it though, especially my pubes because it's gross and annoying when discharge dries if the hairs are longer.
Sometimes I get comments from people wondering why I don't shave my legs. My mom laughed at me one time and called me Middle Eastern. It did piss me off because it's none of their business but I still do whatever I want. It's my body and their opinions are worth nothing.

any woman who tells you that they do it "for themselves" has a right to do so, you can do whatever the heck you want with your body and it's understandable if body hair makes you feel uncomfortable, but we can't deny we've been conditioned for years & years by media and societal standards to think body hair is "gross" on our bodies (but not men's). ask yourself: would you think having hairy legs/vag/pits feels and looks bad if tv, movies, magazines and your social environment hadn't always talked about it that way?

I also try to keep my pubes quite short because I feel like really long pubes trap odor more easily, but I don't use razors so I guess it doesn't count as shaving.

>>435074I'm not insecure with my "decision" (it's not really a decision, it's the adult female body's natural state) but I'm burned out from so many discussions of this issue in feminist spaces where women's knowledge of social pressure and ability to critique it short-circuits at the mere mention of body hair (and the double-standards around it).
Women saying they wax/shave for ~themselves~ is like women who wear makeup saying they do it for ~self-expression~. Like, do it if you want, but we both know you wouldn't if it wasn't expected of you or if it made you uglier in men's eyes.
The only insecure people in these discussions are women who can't handle their choices being examined, and that's libfem shit right there.

>>434978Things have definitely gotten a lot better! Tokyo happened during an unfortunate time and the isolation (my own fault really) and being so far away from my support system of friends and family did nothing but worsen the situation. To make things even more worse, no one from my school applied that year so I went in completely alone! I did make both intl and Japanese friends through the seminar my school basically forced me into!
To answer your question, my classes in Nagasaki were 100% American international students. Japanese students weren’t allowed to take the courses offered fo us. Lol, even the Chinese and Korean intl students were in seperate classes from us. We mingled a lot with Japanese students in the common areas though!
In Tokyo my classes were more mixed because my english classes weren’t 100% geared towards international students. Japanese students took them too (which was why is was so easy, they had to simplify the English so taking a law class felt like… if you were to teach constitutional law to grade schoolers) and I unfortunately got babied into speaking English all the time because they wanted to practice with me.
>>434997Oh that sucks! I’m a New Yorker and I’m struggling to stay alive here lol.
I met a girl at my Nagasaki university who married her boyfriend she met there and now she works for a cute lil coffee shop! I used to have dreams of moving there after college and working there, but I’ve found just visiting to be good enough. I’m not terribly fond of the work culture (I work for a Japanese company now here in NY and it’s just really not my favorite thing lol, but to each their own!).

You're getting mad at 'I like how it feels' as an explanation because being a slave to the patriarchy is the only reason you're willing to accept, apparently.
Maybe consider that some feminists prioritize other things. I've chosen the single, celibate and childless life so what am I to think of women who dont shave complaining about their bfs and fuckbuddies not liking it?

>>436497I think it's becoming the norm. It seems more like a learned behavior. Our generation was raised on the focus of multitasking to the point where focusing on one thing eventually bores us and we get anxious when we try our hardest to keep doing something. Also the fact the internet is so readily available and everyone is always updating.
Do you eventually go back to playing the game or book?
I would suggest possibly taking a break from internet connected devices more often, it's helped me bring back my focus.

>>436731I did a weight training course in college and the female trainer told me that women only ever gain significant muscle with steroid use since we lack the testosterone. We can get the definition but very few of us will ever bulk and hulk out like males do. Plus a lot of female dieting isn't conducive to muscle growth as women mostly eat to lose bodyfat when muscle growth actually requires intake of carbs, proteins, and fat aka the caloric stuff we usually avoid.
Even in a perfect scenario I don't see you being able to take on a 6ft dude, no. Maybe we could bully short manlet incels though? They're usually the ones talking the most shit anyway lol.

>>436998Because daughters are treated more like dolls to accessorise. You see it even in the way they’re dressed, boys will be dressed in clothing that is easy to move around for the baby and typically very weather appropriate, whereas the girls will be dressed in layers upon constricting layers, the clothing material often being unpleasant because of all the glitter/ruffles/sequins/what have you, and then those god damn awful headbands that leave welts on the babies heads (who constantly try to take it off, mind you)
As a mum of two very young kids it’s infuriating going into any toddler/baby space and seeing the daughters treated like something to just display. I’m not at all surprised that the types of parents that put fashion before function for an infant are also the type to dismiss physical and mental trauma caused by body modification on someone who cannot consent or even wrap their head around the idea of their parents hurting them

This kid actually sounds like a guy I met at another place who I spent some time tutoring. He was illiterate, but he could read basic words and memorised menus to play his games and buy PC parts from Amazon. Totally normal intelligence as far as I knew, he told me about ThatPoppy while we were chatting and paranormal YouTubers. He liked maths better but hit a wall when the questions were worded. Trying to take him through English was impossible because he’d just stare blankly and disengage so hard I’d see his brain escape orbit. Sometimes I thought maybe he could read better than he let on and acted some of it so get away with not doing the work but it was impossible to tell.
It was kind of frustrating because I could see potential in him, like building a gaming rig despite his illiteracy, but when he doesn’t want to read you might as well give up unless there’s a gun to put to his head.
I remembered something more relevant to anon though, he said he was told he had dyslexia and ADHD. Personally I think the dyslexia thing isn’t true, jst that he seriously paid no attention to reading for so long that he became functionally illiterate the older he got, just like how he couldn’t coast along lower grade maths questions forever because they’ll inevitably involve word problems.

It's been two years since an anon told me that I'm unfortunate since I'm fat and small chested when I told her that I'm size 85C.
I don't recall which thread it was or what was the context, but for some reason those words stick to me.
I thought, fair enough because I was overweight at the time. I've lost some weight in the meantime, but my bra size hasn't changed at all. 85C seems rather big to me but now every time I go shopping it's like I can hear that anon saying "oh, how unfortunate" with a smirk.

If you focus your version of "radical feminism" still on centering women and rejecting male control, you can still do this and never touch on trans issues.

i do find it to be
problematic that people who don’t date transpeople are transphobes. and really all of the other things you listed. i feel that comes from their socialization as men prior to transitioning. and like you really can’t explain to someone (for example, a MtF) who wasn’t raised female all the intricate little things that are imposed upon us by society while growing up, like allowing men to speak over us and control the narrative and the assumption that we owe our bodies to people. and i feel like by simply acknowledging this, you’re automatically considered a “terf” by a lot of people, so maybe more “liberal” feminists just choose to ignore that and pretend like those problems don’t exist.
sorry to sort of be thinking out loud to you, this has literally been the first conversation i've felt like i can have on this topic. i'll start checking out the suggested reading.

Btw, you asked for recommended reading - I agree with the other more GC anon's recommendation of Dworkin as your starter Pokemon, but if you really do enjoy economic analysis with a feminist bent I'd highly recommend Silvia Federici's work. This isn't even new stuff, you can avoid a lot of discussion of trans issues by just reading feminist literature from before the late 90s. You can access her major book for free here:

Since we're talkin trans issues here, here's my dumb question: what pronoun do I use if speaking about someone who has transitioned in the past tense?
For example: One of my best friends from high school has transitioned (FTM). We don't live in the same state anymore and don't talk too much, and I understand their current pronouns yada yada. But if I'm telling someone a story about something we did in high school, do I say "she" if that's how they identified then? That is to say, "she" is who she was back then, "he" is who he is now. It feels disrespectful to refer to them as their previous identity, but also recasting the character in my memory with a different name and a different face feels like….I dunno, like re-writing history into a narrative I wasn't a part of? I'd say the easy answer is "they/them" but then they've changed their name as well. So like
>Jane was at my birthday party 10 years ago
>John was at my birthday party yesterday
But if I try to say "John was at my birthday party 10 years ago" well….that's not really true?
It feels like "I beat the Pewter City gym with my best bud, Charmander!" and now they're a Charizard. They're the exact same "pokemon", but when I beat the Pewter City gym they WERE a Charmander. If I tell the story of how I beat the Pewter City Gym but say it was with Charizard, then that's a completely different story and that's not how it actually happened at the time even, if they're the exact same "pokemon" I knew back then.
Does this question make any sense at all?

I promise I'm not a scrote or tranny, just sorta shitty at being an adult.
How often do you guys change out/buy new underwear? Honestly I've worn the same underwear you buy in packs that my mum bought for me since high school. I didn't go out and buy underwear because my brain thought "why would I need new underwear when my current ones are fine?" until my cousin took me out a few years back to Aerie. I now have a mix of old and new, but I wonder if there's really a time limit as to how long you should keep underwear? I always use pantiliners and my IUD basically stopped my period so they're all (the new ones especially) relatively stain free. It just feels weird to throw them out since even if they're tattered, no one would know unless we're about to have sex (though I've already thrown out one that have holes and whatnot). I feel like it's so indulgent buying a lot of new underwear, but fuck, Aerie's undies are so comfortable I love it when I get new ones.
No. 441112
>>441108I love Aerie underwear! Their bras are super comfortable too.
I think because you use panty liners that helps the longevity of the underwear. I don't really go off of how long I've owned a pair, mostly because I have shit memory and can't be assed to keep track of the dates of my underwear purchases lol. I just go by looks, if they look worn or threadbare, if they have holes, and/or if they're stained beyond redemption, then I toss them.
I wouldn't feel too bad buying underwear, honestly to me it's something you can never have too many of. I mean, it's not like you're ever
not going to need them, they'll all get used eventually so whatever.

She had around 6 pairs of underwear, totaling to $72, and I told her if she wanted to choose four more pairs it would be half the price. She somberly goes "Oh no, I don't need that many pairs" and proceeds to pay full fucking price for the six pairs. I still can't wrap my head around that like… what the fuck.

>>441534The "high" of opiates is not a true "high" like it is with smoking a lot of weed, or stimulants like meth/amphetamines, which is why it isn't as noticeable. It's more like a softening, it's a taking off of the edges of your day. You're gently buzzed, and everything feels slightly warmer and just subtly
easier to deal with. That can be your chronic pain, but also slight niggles of day to day life. Locked your keys in the car? I don't feel quite as panicky as I normally would. Ate too much? It'll be okay, tomorrow I can try harder to stick to my diet. My partner's let me down or lied to me about something? Yeah, that'd normally super bum me out, but I guess I don't feel quite as bummed out as I otherwise would.
Imagine how you feel after a really nice, relaxing warm bath, just that little bit more open and tolerant. Now imagine you can go round in that warm feeling all the time, and yeah it wears off eventually but you can get more because of your prescription, and you can sleep better, and your chronic pain isn't quite as much of a bother, and you have codeine addiction. If you're starting out with an already stressful life, and you don't have great coping skills to begin with, it's even easier to fall into.

anons who have bleached their hair
i bleached my black hair and it turned to an orange-ish tone, similar to the darker tones in pic related. i still have more bleach left, is it a bad idea to keep bleaching it? i'm doing it to get my hair ready for another color.
No. 442250
>>442247Not race baiting, but are you Asian? If so virgin Asian hair is EXTREMELY difficult to bleach. It tends to be very porous, plus the undertones often fuck about during the bleaching process and end up giving awful results that are difficult to tone to a neutral - go to a salon. Even if you’re not Asian you’re best off going to a salon since you have black hair.
If you keep doing it at home then at best you’ll get your hair to a very rusty coloured marigold, and this is with lots of bleaching sessions and damage. Even if you tone you most likely won’t get a good result since you can’t see how you’re laying down the colour and it will end up patchy which isn’t a good foundation for laying down permanent/semi-permanent colours
Best case scenario you manage to evenly bleach your hair and it turns out amazing you’re still risking chemical burn on your scalp because of the huge amount of bleach, industry grade bleach is different from consumer grade and salons also have access to products which help minimise damage. If you do go to a salon DO NOT let them bleach it to a very light tone all in one go, that’s a retarded idea and only a hairdresser who cares very little for hair would even humour the idea
tldr go have a professional do it, never a good idea to use harmful chemicals if not trained, especially not on your body.

How do I learn to dress nice? How do I learn how to do my hair? Pls ELI5 cause I'm stupid and desperate.
My mom dressed me until I was 16 or so, we were poor and I'm slightly on the spectrum so whenever I tried to put together my own outfits they were ridiculous, so I looked like a horse girl final boss.
I moved out on my own and finally learned how to do my own makeup, but I still dress like a non-passing trap and my hair is a thick, frizzy mess.
I don't have money to hire a stylist but I look downright embarrassing and would like to look nice when I start my new job. I tried curating a pinterest board but that is really hard to translate irl because all the items that were similar to pictures always look a little bit off, enough that it ruins outfits and fits me poorly.

>>442281I think /g/ has a fashion advice thread. You could also look on Reddit; there's a sub called TodayIWore where people post their outfits so that might be helpful?
Once you start your new job you could look if you like what your female co-workers are wearing and then buy clothes similar to theirs.
As for your hair: you don't need to do fancy hairstyles. They just shouldn't look messy and dirty.
Search on YouTube for hair tutorials for work or for frizzy hair or something and then find someone who has similar hair to yours and copy that (also look what products they use for their hair). If your hair is long maybe you should cut a chunk up, that should help bringing them back to life.
Sorry for the shitty advice, I know you wanted something specific but that's really difficult without knowing what you do, how you look etc.

Also I don't know how to be less awkward during the dates. I feel like I'm introducing myself over and over again and I'm starting to feel like I'm being interviewed. Not sure if anyone has advice for that.
I don't really know what I'm doing. Does anyone know of any useful guides to how to use apps to find a guy that you're compatible with?
No. 442957
>>442955meeting early is normal. It's actually a good sign and shows interest. If they weren't interested, they'd let the conversation fall asleep or ghost you. It takes some bravery to ask to meet, too. They want to take it to the next level and allow a real connection face-to-face.
I learnt from dating apps, the longer you chat, the more you build up an image of the other that may not be real at all. That's why meeting is important and I appreciate a guy asking for it.
Your nervosity is normal. Yeah, you should look up guides, there are infinite guides and how-tos for online dating. Everyone struggles with that. The people you talk to do, too.
My mode of operation is to focus on the person I vibe with the most and which intrigues me the most or talking to them is nice. I focus on them and meet and check if it works.

>>442955i was talking to my bf of three years for months before we met up and he was completely okay waiting until i was more comfortable (first red flag would be them rushing to meet you without any actual connection on a romantic level apart from wanting to fuck or after talking for like a week)
when we did eventually meet we just went to an arcade and played some games for a while and it was really fun. i’m autistic so in general talking to people makes me act weird so something like playing games in an arcade, rather than a dinner date for example, takes the stress away from trying to constantly have something interesting/funny to say, (which almost always makes things awkward therefore making you even more anxious) and you still get to have a good time and see if there’s a connection before rushing straight into a full on relationship/hooking up
best of luck to you anon, hopefully this is helpful in some way or another lol

>>442957The few dates I've gone on already, meeting them almost felt like a blind date because of how little I knew of them. It was unnerving to me for some reason. I will go on one or two more and decide if maybe I need a bit more conversation before meeting. I agree that if you wait too long, you can get unrealistic image in your head. Maybe I need to get over my social awkwardness. I have trouble speaking to strangers in general and I'm very shy
>>442959Meeting at an arcade would be ideal. Or anything that would help with occupying oneself. It sounds like how you met your BF was pretty nice and he seems understanding

>>443097its really not that odd at least when looking at the current generations. i really dont want to start anything but the cost of school now and the need to have a degree when getting a job that can actually pay for bills, food, vehicle, medicine, insurances and god forbid a hobby or a night out to eat in the us almost guarantees you have to come out swinging with a decently paying job and/or room with your parents, friends or strangers.
but it really can depend on cultural influences or social or religious beliefs. but what doesnt change is the price of the stuff we have to pay for here. a close friend growing up was allowed to be at home until she graduated with her doctorate while another was made to move out right as soon as she was 18.

Personally I fixed my self esteem by deleting social media. Suddenly I could no longer seek or expect validation in comments on my pics, men could no longer hit me up randomly, since I don't have a massive social circle irl I stayed single as a natural consequence and learned to keep myself happy without their approval. Going cold turkey with men is a real option, you don't have to go through life hoping men will suddenly treat you well and fix your self esteem for you.

>>443389i grew up with a gas stove and ours always worked like you ignite it first and you'd hear a click click click and then the flame would pop up and then use the temp to make the flame larger or smaller. you really have to feel it out though, if you're feeling really insecure about the temps i would get a candy thermometer and put a pan of water on the stove and see what heat levels get you to the temps you're looking for. you really have to just feel it out if you're used to electric stove tops.
the main thing is to make sure you don't let the gas run without it igniting otherwise your house could fill up with gas fumes and cause an explosion. if you ever smell a really strong gas smell, leave immediately and let someone know.
enjoy it though, a gas flame is actually really fun to cook with when you get the hang of it and you can do dumb shit like roast marshmallows inside.

i met a guy at the beginning of the year at university, we shared a few classes, talked casually and had gone out to eat mcdonald's and stuff from time to time, but he isn't what i would consider a friend, we didn't even talk outside of uni apart from him texting me from time to time.
the thing is i have this loud, deep gut feeling about this guy that makes me want to stay away from him as much as possible, and i don't exactly know why.
he changed majors later so we're not in the same classes anymore, but i still ran into him in the hallways and such and we'd hung out very casually inside my school. i'd casually told him about a particular personal situation i was going through at the time, and he'd told me about some of his own issues, but then again, i don't consider him friends. up until then things were fairly normal i guess, but things started to get, uh, weird for me.
for instance:
- he's a bit too touchy-feely for my liking. i'm a big hugger and affectionate person but after a shitty situation i went through recently i've stopped being openly affectionate to people i haven't been friends with for long, him included. but he'd randomly hug me or play "slap" me or bump my shoulders (i did ask him to stop)
- the very first week we knew each other he texted me asking for relationship advice at 11 pm.
- he'd seek me out A LOT inbetween classes, he'd text me that he could see me chilling in my classroom.
- he invited me to his grandmother's funeral. he'd been bitching a lot about her to me a month or two prior bc she was living at home with his family due to being very very ill, so when he told me that she'd passed away and that he was devastated i listened to him and gave him my condolences, to which he proceeded to thank me and GIVE ME THE ADDRESS OF THE FUNERAL AND THE TIME THEY'D BE HOLDING THE SERVICE. i thought he was joking at first but i found out he was dead serious, we hadn't even known each other for two months when he did this. of course i declined, he didn't think it was odd or strange for him to do this.
- for Friendship Day (dumbass commercial holiday celebrated in my country) he texted me "happy friendship day" and a heart emoji. i haven't even opened the text, he sent it like two weeks ago or so and i haven't seen him in over a month, not even at college. i didn't want to reply bc i don't want to leave him on "seen" but i also don't want him to think he's my friend just to be nice either.
honestly the funeral thing is what creeped me out the most and when the gut feeling started. i haven't seen him around in quite a while but now i'm scared i'll run into him at college. if he seriously thinks we're friends bc we've hung out very casually once or twice and i told him about something going on in my life atm then i don't want to keep validating his delusion, but i also don't want to be rude and hurt his feelings. yet i can't, i can't shake off this horrible gut feeling that if i piss him off he'll do something bad or turn out to be a creep. what the fuck do i do anons.

Where do people buy ready-to-wear designer collections or runway clothes in general???
All designer clothes in department stores and online shopping sites are basics.

>>444900In my country we celebrate friendship day on the 20th of July, do you happen to be from south america, anon? (Or maybe Spain?). You don't have to answer if you don't want to.
I'm afraid I'm the worst at giving advice, specially if it involves confronting people and stuff like that, so I don't think I can be of much help; BUT, if I was in your position I would do the same I always do with those weird hollow college friendships~: slowly cut contact. I just stop replying people's messages. Or I reply like once a month until they get used to it, and assume that's just how I am. And if I then see them in person around college, I either ignore them (tbh depends on my mood or how much I like the person) or if I don't have a choice, I just talk to them in a friendly way, to show them that even if I don't reply their messages, it's not because I hate them or anything. I hope I explained that well enough, I feel like it's a little confusing lol.
You can also use having to study as an excuse to avoid him. My boyfriend literally cuts contact with everyone for months while he has to study. His friends are used to it, and they just accept it.
I have to admit though that I'm a bit of a bitch and don't care THAT much about how people feel when I don't answer their messages. But tbh they are just hollow college friends that I know I will never interact with again unless we share a class. Sorry for the extremely shitty "advice", but the only thing I can say is don't worry that much about him and his feelings if you are not interested in becoming his friend.
My best friend was friends with a guy similar to what you describe, and he eventually confessed to her and basically became obsessed with her. He was super open about his problems and self-diagnosed mental illnesses, very touchy-feely (like, putting his hands around my friend's waist and stuff like that), a weeb, and pretty shy. He even tried desperately to befriend all of her friends, for some reason. It's like he wanted to invade every bit of her life. I think the last time she saw him, he kissed her against her will (it was her first kiss) and after that she finally decided to stop interacting with him. It was very difficult for her to cut contact after all that, but she somehow managed to erase the guy from her life. He still stalks her social media, probably.
Not saying the guy you describe will end up like that, but I've met a few men with more or less that same personality, and for some reason they seem desperate to befriend people (specially women) and are very insecure and emotionally troubled.
If he tells you about how alone he feels, how everything bad happens to him, how he can't get a gf and how he started therapy because he is lost and depressed, run away and don't look back anon lmao. I think that's the recipe for "he was so quiet, polite and shy! I can't believe he murdered his family!"
Again, sorry for the shitty advice. I hope a wiser anon can help you.

>>445048yes anon, i'm south american. good catch!
it's cool, your advice wasn't all that bad. i'm used to clingy sadboy "muh loneliness is killing me (and i'm making you responsible for it)"-types so i can recognize them like my reflection in the mirror, but so far he hasn't ticked off enough boxes in the sadboy requirement field for me to be seriously alarmed (he hasn't been explicitly flirtrarious 4 example, probably bc i've been very vocal and explicit to him about my loving long term relationship).
being cold and slowly ghosting him has been my go-to for this situation lately so i'll keep on doing that per your advice. plus i've been very busy so it's not like i don't have an excuse. if i happen to run into him in the halls of uni i'll be decently polite, i'm not gonna be a bitch to him for no reason (nor do i want to).

Speaking of designer, Moschino's clothes are fucking overpriced for what they are but I really like them, I wonder if there's anything like their shirt dresses that doesn't cost hundreds of dollars lmao
I also really like Jeremy Scott's style despite some of his stuff not being up the alley of what I'd usually wear. This stuff is simple t shirt dress shit that I could probably make myself but I don't have the skill for it imo and I don't think I could layout the typography the same, and none of the fast fashion places / places I go to have really ever replicated this stuff at least as far as I've seen

>>446332Can't speak on Mango, but I like Uniqlo a lot for their clean lines and basics, similar to Benetton. I think both of them are overpriced by maybe £10-5 on what each item is truly worth, but the quality stills shit all over fast fashion retailers like Boohoo/PrettyLittleThing/Missguided. Zara used to be much better quality a decade ago, and again is overpriced but the manufacturing is still better. I don't shop there as style wise it's still a bit too trendy for me. Luckily I'm quite good at spotting good secondhand Uniqlo on eBay.
Only downside is that admitting I like Uniqlo and Benetton really drives home how not in my early 20s I am anymore. At least it's not as "mid-30s first-time-mother" fashion as wearing Boden or Matalan though.

> Only downside is that admitting I like Uniqlo and Benetton really drives home how not in my early 20s I am anymore.This genuinely made me laugh. I'm approaching my 30s and I'm still at odds when it comes to changing my style to a more age appropriate version. Actually, I don't even know what that means. How to dress when you're in late 20s, early 30s etc. I try to take inspiration from online magazines and online shops themselves but I don't get any realistic answers. It's either too office wear or some romantic prairie fairy look or whatever is en vogue at the moment.

>>446432Benetton (and Geox) used to be stuff my mum would buy me because it was good quality children's clothes/footwear and Uniqlo didn't exist yet back then, but even as a child I remember it being weirdly staid and boxy compared to the trendier clothes my classmates would wear, and it's still the impression I have of it now with their adult lines.
I love Uniqlo and Benetton because I swear to god they have the only tops and jeans that fit me right, aren't too long or too wide, don't bunch up at the knees and don't have long ass hems that I'm not sure if I'm supposed to tuck in or not. I don't know if that means I have an early 30s first time mum body, but whenever I shop at, say, Mango, H&M, Zara etc it always looks like it's meant for someone else's body. I have a very straight body with narrow hips, slightly broad shoulders, strong thighs and a short torso so maybe I'm just not shaped like an instathot, idk.

What are some good resources to start teaching myself about posting & marketing on social media? Stuff that has maybe personally helped other anons here?
I want to sell arts & crafts but I don't have much of a following nor am I hugely active on any of the bigger websites. This is because I know nothing about algorithms, what appeals to people online when posting something and etc. I want to learn so I can work up to doing my own thing, even if it takes me years to build up.

Also 4chan and 8ch are both run by feds, which is really apparent nowadays. The subjects of discussion are set by FBI spooks and they're constantly trying to radicalise/entrap posters.

>>448339No harm is asking them, anon! I'm not sure about cats but certainly shelters ask for volunteers to come in and socialise with dogs.

I also think abandoning me when something serious is happening wouldn't have as…concentrated an impact? As in I'd be distracted by the other issue so I'd just drop them and then concern myself about my actual issues, but if they cheated that is
the issue. So I'd fully focus on it and them more. As a metaphor, it's like how a small cut on your hand hurts if you're otherwise healthy but it feels only like a fraction of the pain when your arms are broken.

>>448732The
>(I haven't cheated, just asking you guys which you all think is worse)makes it sound like it IS presented as a consequence of neglect, though.
Assuming one has nothing to do with the other, though, they're both equally shitty. I think the infidelity is slightly worse, but that's probably because I've been cheated on in the past and it killed my soul.
No. 448742
>>448736I think the cheating is a bit worse because from the "
victim"'s standpoint, it's not preventable. You're in a committed relationship with the rightful assumption that your partner will be faithful, and then one day they aren't and they betray you. On the other hand, if your partner repeatedly neglects you in times of need, you can mitigate some of the damage at least by leaving them. If you stay with someone who has proven they don't actually care about you, repeatedly, according to the op's hypothetical, it's kind of on you.

>>448665I'm really bad at explanations so I apologize in advance!
I view it as a major being a specific area of study while a concentration is a specific area
within that. It's narrowing down the field/scope of your study even more. For example, you can major in education. There's the general stuff that all education majors should know, and then there's stuff you get into when you pick your concentration. Within education you can concentrate on primary, secondary, social sciences, math, etc. Not all majors have concentrations, but all concentrations will be attached to a major.
Hope this helps!

Anyway it's because all blue-eyed people have a single common (European) ancestor, and blue eyes are a recessive gene, so you need two parents with the gene for a blue-eyed baby. There's more white people with that gene than black people.
No. 449639
>>449619Technically, anyone of any race can be born with blue (or green) eyes if they have albinism, Waardenburg syndrome or a certain ancestor also shared by many white people.
This girl on YouTube has blue eyes, but her entire family is black, and a DNA test said she was only 1% white (maybe even less, I'd have to look for the video again). Her mother has heterochromia. She's deaf in one ear, so she thinks she has Waardenburg, but her mother isn't deaf at all and neither of them seem to have the typical facial features of someone with it (see: Stef Sanjati), so it's confusing.
Also, rambling, but I'm pretty sure I read somewhere that everyone's natural eye color is either blue or green, and melanin (which makes eyes dark/brown) just covers it to protect our eyes from sunlight. Not having that protective covering is technically a mutation, but it looks cool. Two of my dogs were born with bright blue/greenish eyes that turned black as they got older (and their fur changed color, too, sort of like how a person's skin can turn darker/lighter depending on environment).

i would say start with commissions, because that's a good way to get experience, and it will help you figure out stuff like your hourly rates, because you'll get a sense for how long on average things will take you. i did a lot of commissions after i graduated, and it was very useful experience. make an art twitter, upload some stuff to get eyes on you and network, and make a commissions sheet with some examples of the kind of stuff you can do and your prices.

Is 29 too old to find out you're a lesbian? I have no experience with women at all. I still have a boyfriend, he was my first in everything and I thought we were in love but I have a feeling it will all end soon. I just wonder if I should tell him about this stuff, whether it makes the end easier or not. It's just that I'm not sure if I'm a lesbian either. I have never been truly sexually attracted to men, found them hot etc, literally no feelings or fantasies whatsoever, not even celebrities. My boyfriend is ok looking but I think I am much more attracted to the fact that we were both depressed neets and we could "save each other"… And we never really had a sex life. We were both too scared, too nervous, packed with trauma - it was more like cuddles.
I can kind of imagine sharing my life with a woman, kisses, cuddling, intimacy, even just regular boring day to day life. And it's even kind of comforting. But the sexual attraction… I guess it's kinda there but who wants a "lesbian" who's only ever been with a man? I feel guilty and fake even imagining it because of that…
Life with my boyfriend is exhausting recently. I used to be a bit of a handmaid and only now, reading up on feminism with an open mind, I started to realize all the misogyny around me that affected my life and made me what I'm now (mostly in a bad way). It has been eye-opening, but he doesn't really seem to like it. We have a lot of arguments about these things, he tells me to focus "on the real world" instead of "non-issues" etc. It feels like he thinks I'm blaming him personally even though I told him several times that I'm not talking about him and god it's almost like trying to reason with a toddler. He gets so mad sometimes.
I can't help thinking this is not the life for me, after all I've been through. That there is someone out there who understands and that someone cannot be a man.
Tl;dr could it be that I'm lesbian? Just a late bloomer? Or bi even though I'm not attracted to men? If I am lesbian, is it an automatic dealbreaker if people find out I've a) been with a man b) have no previous experience of any kind with women?
