Does anyone have any recommendations of sites to host photography?

I'm now just getting back into it and would really like to post stuff not just to insta. I like to have a little gallery to look at for myself mostly but having an active user base is also a plus for me. I do want to net-work a little with other people around my level.

The least amount of automated censorship the better. I do costume-y things that can include some fake blood and I've gotten false flagged by algorithms because of it?? (current year problems.)

I know the obvious Flickr and that might work for me as a back up but is it cool? What is the coolest one?

I primarily listen to metal but I never call myself a metalhead because most of them are elitist assholes who will tell you the bands you listen to are 'not really metal' or 'not metal enough' because metal is basically an umbrella term almost and there are so many different types and people have soooo many opinions about the different genres and what should/shouldn't be considered "true metal" that they want to project onto you. I always hear people say goths are elitists but honestly metalheads are so much worse.

And just wanna remind everyone that metal and goth are 2 different genres, they get conflated a lot for some reason.

for metal standards being a sellout means being able to play something that isn't the pentatonic scale, for punk is knowing more than 3 chords and actually caring about music more than the costume and the posturing.

Metal is not just a subculture, is an age bracket. most people grow out of it and thats cool, most of the most amazing musicians i've ever met started out as metal fans who eventually got bored of playing the same compositions over and over. In retrospect my edgelord years were silly but also very fun, i'd just wish i hadn't cut myself from other experiences because of that tribal mentality.

ok. this affects my counter argument to "normies don't like weird hobbies" how exactly? I'm sure she can come across some stacy lowkey into metal, one of the more popular girls in my school was like that. Most normie girls I know have at least one unconventional hobby/interest, I was just mentioning metal as that was the initial topic of discussion (debatable how unconventional a whole ass genre of music can be but I'm giving that point a geographical leeway).

How to take sexy selfies? Privately where I can't get caught, so no flash and typically have to hold onto my phone in the process.
I'm 5'3. Thick thighs. Good ass. 34DDD. Like 140lbs. I'm a bit older though so starting to show skinny fat body aging stress.
No matter what I do, I have a lump or cellulite or a stretch mark somewhere. Or I look like a midget with Raptor arms and great tits.
My girlfriends have tried to teach me to take selfies with them but I can't figure it out. How does a very cute-in-person 30-year old self conscience lady learn their angles without having any form of social media?

I also know my tit pics and ass pics and vag pics have been compelling enough but I would like for them to not be close up cropped shots. With minimum editing also.

No. 474175

there are a few, but i think given enough time, almost all of them become cheaters. the only difference is how long/how "bored" they get until they decide to go through with it.

if they don't cheat, they'll probably disrespect you in other ways. i am with a guy that i can't really see cheating given how crazy attracted he still is to me after all this time, and he's so sweet with me sexually, but is an unbearable, totally unaware douchebag in other respects. there's never "the whole package". most men are duplicitous freaks, but those few that aren't are going to likely make you settle in other ways that make you want to shoot yourself in the face out of frustration.

I love my Shark vacuum. I bought it while I was in college because I frustrated over the cheaper vacuums constantly busting on me and never doing a great job.
Five years later and it still works great, mind though that I do keep maintenance with it and clean it regularly. I think people who see a decline in the quality of their expensive vacuums probably just don't realize they need to clean it.
An ex bought one at a pawn shop for $50 because it "didn't work," but once I brought it home and flushed out the hosing it worked like a charm.

I know plenty of men that haven't cheated. I also know women who cheated on their man but yes, faithful people do exist from my experience.

Possible hot take, but many studies indicate that men who are particularly high libido are more likely to cheat so hanging on to one night stands and guys who generally want to get in your pants more than anything else (like having nice conversations lol) might not be the best idea.

is it weird to put makeup on in the morning on days off incase you go somewhere? i sometimes plan spontaneously so i wanted to start getting ready in the mornings on my day off but sometimes i don't leave the house. just thought it may be convenient for days when i do.

No. 474277

>>474272
How long does it take for you to put on makeup anon? I do find this a little weird, but then again, I usually put on a very light amount of make up (application time runs between 5min minimum to about 20-30min max depending if I'm just doing some eyeliner+brows or if I'm doing the whole shebang) so if something comes up spontaneously I can just smack on some makeup and leave. Even if I do have something planned, I tend to leave it as one of the very last things I do before heading out (usually try to leave about 30 min but if I end up misjudging time and rushing I'll just do basic eyeliner and brows to save myself the time).

It always feels like a waste to me if I put on make up and end up not leaving. I also like to relish in the freedom of rubbing my face/eyes without worrying about smearing anything so any chance I don't have to have makeup on, I won't lol.

No. 474278

How do I stop being so scared of men?

I'm not worried in a sense of "they could hurt me", I just can't talk to them at all. I always get so nervous, can't look them in the face and act kind of defensive or even rude. My friends suggested trying dating apps because Im too shy to ever meet somebody normally (like when going out) but just the thought of texting with a guy scares me. I always have this irrational fear that they would suddenly start to mock me or get angry, because I'm not good(looking) enough for them - even if it's when it's actually just a costumer at my retail job.

No. 474283

>I always have this irrational fear that they would suddenly start to mock me or get angry, because I'm not good(looking) enough for them
I'm exactly the same, anon. I work a professional position and I'm supposed to do a lot of teamwork, but I'm always on the defense with men. I'm always afraid that they'll start making fun of or belittling me because I'm not very attractive to men by conventional standards, with either looks or behavior. It's been like this for my whole life, men just treat me like garbage because they don't find me worth their while. If someone has advice, I'm willing to listen.

No. 474286

>>474278
You've just gotta befriend some. I wish I had better advice.
I feel twinges of that sometimes with new men (especially frat boy and male art hoe types but I have a fear of conventionally attractive people in general), but atm my only friends are straight men who aren't attracted to me and no one gives a fuck. When I was obese and gnc I used to work with mostly men and they also didn't give a fuck.

Chances are if a man is the type to post about or shit talk a woman for being ugly, if he was a woman he'd still be a shallow bitch and act similarly.
So…fear both, or neither, equally.

No. 474287

>>474283
Glad I'm at least not the only one. It's the same for me, I have such a hard time working together with guys. I subconsciously think "if he hates me, at least he won't think I'm hitting on him". I really don't get how other women can just joke around or even flirt a little with their male friends.
If there's a couple at the shop I work at, I exclusively talk only to her, so that they won't get the wrong idea.

I don't know if that's the reason why I'm like this, but when I was in 6th grade one of my former friends lied to a guy and said I liked him, to which he reacted completely grossed out and I franctically tried to deny it. Back then I didn't even feel bad about it for long, but this is exactly what I fear will happen if I were to be friendly with a guy. Later on I also got in similar incidents, there boys insulted me, saying they would never like me, although I didn't even show any interest in them. I have a resting bitch face and talk very little, so no way that anything I ever did could be interpreted as flirting. No idea why this kept happening to me (or maybe that's normal and only I can't deal with that?)

Exposure therapy is the best thing for any fear. It takes time and doesn't guarantee you'll completely get over your phobia but it can help a lot. I used to be extremely shy with all people and now I have a thriving social life even though a little voice in the back of my head is still shy, and I had an intense fear of heights and have since gotten much better and gone skydiving. It's important to keep pushing yourself because you need lots of those interaction experiences for your brain to gradually learn not to anticipate bad outcomes. Mimicking how you think normal people act can also be really effective in getting better social outcomes in my experience. Like in the back of your head you might be totally freaking out but still try to push yourself to outwardly pretend to be someone who doesn't have your fear, or think of how you would act if the guy was a lady.

I was raped as a kid but I’m pretty sure there wasn’t any lasting trauma from it, is this normal? Not to downplay CSA survivors, but I know it’s something that deeply affects them (and rightfully so) but my childhood rape is something I just think back on on occasion as like a “oh. yeah that happened.” I even straight up forgot about for a few years. I just wonder why it never really ended up affecting me- I remember a lot of it quitebvividly but they’re just memories that I replay just like any other childhood memory.

Not saying this is going to happen to you anon but that was me up until 3 ish years ago when my academic life took a more stressful turn(thesis work) + seeing my raper on my city(up until that point he was strained family) + finally going to therapy (it was free and until then the only abnormal thing was feeling a little weird while fucking, like I was not really there, and sometimes feeling mostly apathetic), then life spiraled down with weekly panic attacks and all that jazz. So Idk I suppose sometimes we're not really in tune with our trauma and hasn't really processed it until we are forced to look at it, though I truly hope that's not your case and you get to live a life free of all that baggage.

sometimes resources are buried but maybe start with searching your states public health resources and then county health resources. try calling public health care lines for your county and ask what may be available. maybe if its available, call a state medical university to see if there is something they could do even for a reduced price. i live in a state that has a few big medical universities that offer discounted rates for training.

>What kind of notebook do you write in?

I still write in the one my mother gave to me on my 14th birthday. It’s custom made and leather bound. There’s golden music notes pressed into the leather and it’s so pretty! I play piano so it suits me. I think everyone should get a unique diary like that for themselves, like something that reflects a personal trait or hobby of theirs. I wrote in fountain pen in my youth, and now I write in those thin Japanese pens people obsess over. I kind of want to get a quill or something nice. I always write in cursive and it’s nice to see an improvement in handwriting over the years.

>How often do you write?

I write whenever I feel sad or extremely happy. I don’t feel the need to write a day-to-day chronicle on my mundane life. I also write when a big event happens in my life like going to college, establishing relationships, or going on vacations and experiencing new things. I still have to write about my trip to Europe over the summer but haven’t gotten around to doing it. A girl in the same tour group brought her diary and wrote on the bus and I got so jelly lmao. Why didn’t I bring mine!

>How do you write about you day coherently?


Honestly I just verbally vomit on the page. I make my writing like my thoughts, like free form or stream of consciousness writing. It’s nice to go back and see what my thoughts were like exactly.

> Do you worry about someone reading it?

I’m pretty sure my family read it growing up. I was always so paranoid so I repressed some of my thoughts and feelings in my diary. Now that I’ve moved away from home and living by myself I don’t feel as paranoid anymore and unleash my full feelings out

Financial skills, understanding taxes, saving money, some sort of monetizable skill which is transferable, understanding of basic human psychology and politics.

You basically need to understand your "place" that being how others view you in society, figure out what you specialize in and sell your skill, and work around that boundary of how others view you (which you cannot change) how you represent yourself and interact/your personal boundaries (which you can change) and honing whatever you are adept at so you can monetize it.

that's not even fucking true. i know a number of male neets that had numerous women clawing after them that wanted to help them. the thing is that most male neets are bottom of the barrel degenerate losers, and no one wants to get with a guy that fucks himself with a dragon dildo, and a lot of neet guys become this level of degen from having way too much time on their hands, or from just being the type of chris-chan tier creep that is more likely to become a neet.

>>474597
as a few anons have already said, a lot of women WITH successful careers already settle for men that become little but horny ankleweights already, so a lot of neet girls are settling for trash bfs, but just because someone is neet doesn't mean they don't have something to offer someone, especially as a woman. honestly a lot of guys don't care about whether or not a woman has a career tbh. a lot of guys don't mind women being dependent on them, especially if they also have mental problems or whatever that they can either abuse, or relate to, not that many men actually treat these women so well. you have to remember that a lot of these neet girls have low self esteem from society beating them down for being neet, on top of whatever problems they had that led them to becoming neets, so honestly they're probably grateful for anything. women with their shit together praise men for doing the smallest shit that should already be expected of men, so i'm sure that's happening tenfold with neet girls. they're probably worshipping them for just treating them a little human, especially because people irl make you feel inhuman for being neet, or for being fat, or ugly, etc, etc.

and a lot of self reported "ugly" or "fat" women aren't. women blow out insecurities out of proportion while literally disfigured men criticize women's appearances and display the same level of male entitlement as attractive men.

I'm just saying, if an anon asked advice on here about their neet crush or bf they would be told to love themselves and dump him, but guys don't tend to have big issues with being the one financially supporting their relationships and paying for everything, some would even prefer specifically to marry a stay at home mom who don´t work or be a suggar daddy for a thoth who admits straight up that she is a goldigger from the get go.

Women get less shitted on for being neets and an average looking woman has more romantic potential than an average looking dude and will have more options when putting herself out there , almost all of my neets friends are girls who spent a lot of time jumping between relationships were they never spent any money, and being pampared by their parents , to a point they became too used to a lifestyle of being lazy and only function when it came to leisure paid by whoever else. If your boyfriend comes over with cake, weed and gifts every other day of the week and your parents cover all your expenses while you play videogames and shitpost, no shit you become entitled and lazy.

Disclaimer, having a boyfriend doesn´t imply is a good bf, even paying for everything they can still be shitty boyfriends and paying for stuff is also a manipulative tactic to gain dependency, i am just saying a female neet has some advantages on that aspect over male ones and is more likely to find a couple should she look for one.

no, they really wouldn't. only if the guy was an annoying fuck AND neet, because why put up with male entitlement AND neetdom?

>Women get less shitted on for being neets

uhhh, not true at all. irl you get shit on for being a neet as a woman all of the time, the only time you're maybe given any leniency is when people want to fuck you? if women found a guy super attractive emotionally, physically, what have you, A LOT of them would be perfectly fine with looking over the neet shit though too, so it's not exclusive to women. people will overlook certain things if there are positives. i've seen it time and time again. people MAYBE will be nicer about women being neet if they're married, but even then, i see "stay at home wives" are shit on a lot irl. real life is not all about how men online treat women or how young men treat women. people who aren't considered to be "contributing" to society are not treated well, male or female.

>If your boyfriend comes over with cake, weed and gifts every other day of the week

I specifically mentioned that I saw many posts of neet farmers whose boyfriends were not neets or super trashy and that's what baffles me. Like guys who work and support a woman who doesn't contribute to absolutely anything. How did they even meet if she neither goes to school, nor work, nor has hobbies (besides gaming), nor is willing to go outside?
In the traditional sense a stay-at-home wife would at least cook, clean, buy groceries + other necessities and look presentable, but in those cases they're only sitting at home and are useless, why would anybody endure that? If you want sex, a prostitute would be a lot cheaper.

But how? All those farmers claim to do is lay in bed or play on their computer 24/7. That's not contributing.
And simply assuming that those working boyfriends are always worse than their neet girlfriends just because of their gender is whack. Being a neet is leeching off of others, that could be classified as a form of abuse as well, with the other party being to weak to leave. They're being essentially guilt-tripped into not breaking up, since they know that a neet wouldn't survive on their own and would likely end up homeless - and not many people could stand the thought of being responsible for that.

Having been in the reverse situation with my garbage ex who decided getting a mild depression diagnosis was a good excuse to quit his job and become a worthless basement troll - which forced me to support him working full-time, while in school full-time, AND having to cook and clean because any time you asked him he'd start crying he was too depressed (also he claimed to have PTSD from a nightmare…) - I don't know how anyone manages that long-term.

lol I seriously doubt that's what the NEET anons here do. Can it? That would be too simple. These NEETs also love their bf back so I really doubt that's what they're doing.

I've been frustrated at the fact that I can't seem to find a guy while people I know seem to have no problem finding providers left and right. But the truth is, I do have something even better. My parents are pretty well off and generous, so I can have them as my sugar daddy without having to resort to sex or anything gross. Still it makes me feel like a less worthy woman that everyone here seems to have no trouble snapping up someone who they love AND who is willing to pay a ton of money for them.

The kind of relationship that you are idolising is one that has an expiration date on it. Those generous men still get fed up eventually. They feel like it's worth the money in the beginning when you are new and young/sexy/exciting.. but the honeymoon period doesn't last forever so men still expect you to grow as a person. They'll dump you after it's get stagnant and you'll be back by yourself with no prospects and no youth to flaunt. Get independent now rather than later. You're also forgetting that the power dynamic of a man paying for everything often means he feels entitled to control alot of things in your relationship, you're leaving yourself vulnerable to abuse

Spent my twenties dating 'fixers'. They would move me in and intensely plan a future with me, they'd pay the rent and pay for dates and convince me they were like a saviour. 2 or 3 years in they'd suddenly dump me as soon as my mental health started to improve in any noticeable way. In reality they wanted an isolated young girl with no life outside of dating them.

It taught me that a healthy power balance is important in a relationship, you need to feel like you could walk away and support yourself, otherwise you're trapped.

I think the dumping thing happens to a lot of people but not all of them. There are plenty of relationships where a man is fine with being the provider for all of the relationship. Case in point, look at Pixielock's mom. The dad provides most of the income while the mom has a job as a hobby. There are plenty of other examples. Also look at the MLM boss babes who have a husband providing most of the income while they lose money on their "job".

Sure, plenty of these relationships fail. But relationships do in general.

you can contribute by volunteering, by being a source of support for someone, doing work that doesn't make you money but still affects people or animals, for example. you sound crazy jealous. working is not a source of identity. people are still lovable without a job, wtf. men get into these relationships with neet women knowing theyre neet, and if they knew what came with the territory, i don't see how that's "abuse". it's something you really have to consider before jumping in, why they're neet, what their plans are, etc. no, it's not good to be reliant on anyone else, it's definitely not smart, but for a lot of people, neetdom is a stepping stone, not a life plan, so. a lot of neet women aren't neet for funsies, a lot are ill. male neets do it bc lazy though a lot.

>you can contribute by volunteering, by being a source of support for someone, doing work that doesn't make you money but still affects people or animals
Of course that would be possible but I haven't seen a single post of a neet farmer actually doing that. They only ever say that they're at home doing absolutely nothing.
>you sound crazy jealous
Of what? Being a waste of space?
>people are still lovable without a job
I never said you aren't. I said you are if you've got neither a job, nor hobbies, nor children, are too mentally sick to function at all and do literally nothing (which seems to be the case with most neets posting here). Why would anybody love somebody who's basically a vegetable void of any activity or personality (if it isn't their own child or parent)?

you're really unhealthy. again, it would appear that these anons are unwell the majority of the time. no one is a "waste of space" for being unemployed for a few years. we have no idea what their situation is that got them there and them being a neet doesn't put a cap on their potential.

you're like incomprehensibly dumb. not having a job doesn't mean they're "void of personality", wtf. your entire personality revolves around your job or career? you sound like a literal manila folder of a fucking person. for the millionth time, people don't date people for their jobs. people are more than their employment. you sound so unhealthy, it's unbelievable. you sound very noxious. no wonder guys aren't into it.

You seem to lack reading comprehension: I never said it was only about simply not having a job, but these farmers also don't have or do anything else in life at all. We're not just talking about unemployed people or stay at home wives/mothers, but about somebody who lays in bed all day, doesn't wash themself for ages, is only online, doesn't cook, doesn't take care about the house, simply doesn't do anything. Do you really believe that "living" like this can be called having a personality? Do you really think that these people are super fun to be around and nice to their parents or bf or whoever takes care of them?

first of all, that sounds like depression. a lot of the neets you mention are clearly pretty depressed. are you under the impression that them cleaning the house will give them a personality? incredibly active people don't just have personalities because they go hiking or take up archery or pottery making. none of that is a personality. again, a relationship is about emotional labor, caring for each other emotionally, supporting each other emotionally, sex, i guess, having loving and affectionate company, etc. people don't typically date because of someone's job and whether or not they clean often or rock climb. for some guys and girls, having a gf or bf who games or does whatever that they can relate to, that is a source of emotional support and affection and care, etc, is plenty

Not who you've been replying to but I gotta agree with them.
Even though mental illness is no one's fault, it's still our own responsibility. Either by seeking a means to get some help, or doing little things for ourselves to at least improve the quality of living.

If you have the means to do something but you choose not to, that's a particular kind of laziness grown from the spoilage of knowing someone else will take care of you and pick up your messes.
I've known many mentally ill people who didn't have such luxuries. It was either they got a job, took care of themselves, and cleaned their living spaces; or face homelessness. Everyone can suddenly find 'inspiration' to do things if they're pushed hard enough. If the stakes are too great to risk losing.

The biggest problem with NEETs are the enablers of that lifestyle. Making excuses for them, sometimes for the enabler's own selfish reasons. Everyone needs a bit of empathy and compassion, but not to a fault. It's a disservice to humans to encourage them that they legitimately cannot do a thing besides sit in bed and browse the internet all day, and at best it does nothing to help break the destructive cycle of thinking that they cannot.

lies. you literally said yourself in like 4 different posts that you're jealous you can't find a guy that wants to be with you and support you, while you also shit on them. then you went on to brag about your rich parents. everything you say is not motivated by having understanding and wanting them to better themselves, that's why you've said nothing but disparaging comments about them and keep insisting there's absolutely no reason for a man to want to be with them. you've said repeatedly that you think apparently depressed neet girls are vegetables with no personality, that they're abusive, that they're "wastes of space", etc, but you admit you want to be neet and live off of a boyfriend.

>I don't have standards when it comes to attractiveness, I wouldn't ask for anything from a guy, I'd even be willing to a lot for him, yet it seems I'm doomed to die alone.

this is what your comments are motivated by, not depression. idk what your deal is, why you can't find a dude, but i'm sure it has something to do with your personality.

>Why would anybody love somebody who's basically a vegetable void of any activity or personality


>I kinda wish I had this since it is so low stress and it seems fine. A bunch of anons are going to screech about how a breakup is inevitable but it doesn't always happen. It just seems annoying that there's no guy like that willing to provide for me.


you're just salty, don't lie.

>>475049
that isn't why anon is saying this shit. we've not spoken about bettering themselves. they should absolutely better themselves, but depression and recovery is not linear. people struggling with mental health often make strides and take steps back, etc, yet anon wants to define people by periods in their lives that we know nothing about. anon wants to be a lazy neet anyways so her criticism is dumb. you all are acting like so many neets are just neets for 30 years. often they're neet for a bit, try college, drop out, go back, get a job, quit or get fired, end up neet, go back, etc. depression is more than just habit. for people who struggle with suicidal thoughts or impulsive behavior, it's tough. i don't know what the circumstances these people are going through, but anon has spent the better part of all her posts saying all of these neets do absolutely nothing to better themselves, that they're unlovable wastes of spaces, etc, when we don't know that's the case at all. she doesn't know them or their lives. 1 or 2 self deprecating posts doesn't tell their life story.

In school she was smart and got good grades, she even was the type of person who was nice to everyone. when she was in collage she had a panic attack due to stres and she just stopped interacting with people. After that she quit going to school and started palyiing videogames all day and night.She eventaully moved in with my brother when he got his own place. that was 7 years ago

The worst thing about her is her hygiene, she lets her hair get so messy you can't even comb it without her going OW OW OW… Thier bedroom smells worse that a dead skunk, she leaves food, trash, paper, pads…, piles of clothes… etc etc etc…
She doesn't care, she sits on the floor all day playing her games,hell she barely takes care of her own daughter and just puts her infornt of the TV,she's a lazy lazy lazy person and I ask my brother why he stays with her and he says its because he simply just loves her and that she's the only woman he wants to be with

So no, I'm not jealous about not having somebody "to wipe my ass" like you do, I pride myself in still living a somewhat normal life despite being mentally unwell.
All you do is go on about having such amazing personalities and therefore being deserving of getting everything catered to you, but really? Have you read your own posts? You're fucking aggressive for somebody who claims to be an anxious baby incapable of leaving the house only waiting for her man to come home.
Why is it so surprising to you that people despise you, when you don't even respect yourselves? You can go on forever about this not being your fault and only a temporary thing, but in the end of the day you know that you're wrong and that these are only pathetic excuses you made up to justifiy you being a burden on others.

Speaking of NEETs…

I’ve been one since I dropped out of highschool because of a panic disorder/depression/various anxieties. Now I’m 25, agoraphobic, have no friends (never had many to begin with, very introverted), live with my parents, have never had a job, etc. Was in therapy consistently since 19 but last year I stopped going because after 5 or so years, I wasn’t improving. Even after several different approaches. I just don’t know any other way to live.
Being NEET doesn’t bother me too much anymore, but I’d like to at least live on my own and I think I’d do better if I did in some ways. When I’ve had the house to myself, I do a little better on taking care of things.
I’m on disability and I can sign up for subsidized housing or whatever.

I’ve always kind of wished there was a rehab-type of place where I could stay for 3 months or whatever and learn how to fucking take care of myself.

Android users, how do you listen to music on your phone? Please don't bully me for using an iphone, I'm probably switching back after my current phone shits out lol.

I used to have an android (galaxy s3 just for reference of how long ago this was), but I also kept an ipod and primarily used that for my music since my phone space was limited. I just liked how much easier it was to have my music organized on itunes, and then have that synced to my ipod. I rarely put music on my phone back then, and even when I did, it was all sort of just jumbled around and wasn't as neat and tidy. Nowadays I just use spotify so it's not that much of a problem, but there are some indie music I really like and none of the music is available on spotify. Is the music app on androids nicer now?

I guess if I reeaaallly wanted to be nitpicky about it, I could contribute my weird hypersexuality from the age of like… 4 all the way up around last year (23) to it, but the puzzle pieces never clicked in my head. So many things have happened it's hard to say what caused what problem with me, but I think I'm a lot better off as a person nowadays and have grown past more recent traumas. My rapist was my first baby sitter's son, but I can't remember how long I was with them or how long I dealt with the rape and molestation, but I imagine now that it probably wasn't too long if it didn't really affect me. My parents changed my babysitter to my aunt when my first babysitter dislocated my arm, but to this day they don't know about the rape lol.

Anon, I hope you'll start! Journaling/writing in a diary went from something I did to help my depression, to just being a really fun hobby to log my life into.

I started maybe about 4 years ago, because I saw one of my favorite artists constantly post her journal entries from her hobonichi. I picked up a random small spiral notebook and I would just jot down things that happened that day. I was living in Japan at the time, and to this day I regret not starting sooner because I think it really would've helped my depression at the time, and also I just want to recall things with better accuracy! It bounces between being a place to vent (I like to think that when I'm writing depressing thoughts down, that the feeling is leaving my body through me physically writing it, so it's kept in the pages and out of my body lol it's lame but it helps me!), to just a place where I record things that happened (mundane or not) because I think it's fun to read these in the long, long future! I decorate all of my pages with washi tapes and stickers (I have a pretty good collection of tapes and friends will frequently buy me stickers as gifts), I think it really makes the pages pop!

>Whan kind of notebook do you write in?

Aside from my first and third journal (I'm on my 4th one atm!), I try my best to buy from indie artists. I used to attend a lot of conventions and would buy there, but etsy has so many too. There's no real reason for it other than that sort of… special exclusivity that I like. Like, a notebook that's a bit harder for others to find and most people I'll run into won't own it, so it's very special and unique to me. Nowadays I'm thinking of buying from my local stationary store just to make my life a little easier. I'd love to write in a hobonichi, but the pages are too thin and I write too much lol.

>How often do you write?

I try my best to write daily! I went through a period where I would only write if something happened that day (an outing with friends or something very unusual) because I wanted to save pages in my current journal that's very nice but only 56 pages, but it feels like a waste. So many days unaccounted for!

>How do you write about you day coherently?

If it's a really mundane day, I'll write about what I did in the morning. I have a dog so I'll write down if she was being really naughty or really cute or something. Then I'll just sort of write out everything else that I think is worth noting/can bother to remember. If I actually did something that day, I'll only write about that. If it's a vent, I'll just write out my thoughts. Sometimes it can be a combination of all three and then that day's entry can span like 5 pages or something lol.

>Do you worry about someone reading it?

Absolutely. I write a lot of meaningless stuff, but I also write down a lot of things that others might think is concerning, or I'll write really ugly vents about friends or something that might make them upset so of course I don't want them to read it lol.

The attached picture is from the artist who inspired me to start journaling! I own a few of her washi tapes and my current journal is also from her.

In reality, I really do just keep a diary. Also, I see the term journaling and journaling community a lot so I say it's a journal because of that too. Sorry if this just makes things more confusing! Google says there's apparently a difference, but when it comes to a personal notebook where I write things, they're one and the same to me.

Any old deviantart people on here? I'm trying to find someone who held a contest where the winner would be awarded a custom made figure of their OC. I'm pretty sure the winner was hellobaby (attached is a pic of her art) but I can't find the image she submitted or the person who made the figures. The winning picture that was turned into a figure had like wings or feathers coming out of the characters head, a really elaborate bunch of fabric around her waist, and the legs were drawn in a weird way that they had to be adjusted when the sculptor sculpted the legs. I used to always go back and check on the progress of the figure because that person used to post WIPs of it, but I don't think I ever got to see the figure completed. It might not have been hellobaby, but the style looks really similar to what I remember it being.

If it wasn't hellobaby, I'm sure the artist who won has a senior member badge and also has a few DDs their gallery.

my dad is buying a new house and this wittle raccoon that roams the property is already way too friendly and adjusted to humans. i am terrified for him and we want to rescue him. i know in my state it is legal if we apply for permits. what do you think?

people are really terrible in my area and he seems vulnerable. we want to get him vaccinated, build him a house, and keep him as close as possible, obviously feed him and keep him as a pet or outdoor pet, whatever he prefers. he is very accustomed to living on this property already. what would you guys do?

Is it bad/how bad is it that I rescheduled a telephone interview today, the day of the interview. It's for a pretty important position, this is the preliminary interview. I was due to have a half day at my job today, and so I scheduled my interview for this afternoon. When I arrived at work this morning the whole place was a shit show, emergency meeting, conference room talks about how we need to stay the full day today because everything is crashing down. They're being dramatic but everyone agreed that it was okay and sure we'll all stay, so I agreed to, because none of us were really entitled to the afternoon it was supposed to be a gesture of good will.

So I rang my new employer and rescheduled and they can't fit me in until NEXT Monday. So that's a whole 3/4 business days away. I feel like I was so lucky getting to be one of the first interviewed, now I'm going to be at the end when they have probably filled their quota of suitable people and I'm just going to be a chore all because I fucked up and didn't just take the day off for it. It's my own fault for leaving it up to chance, but am I overreacting? How bad will this reflect on me for rescheduling on the day of? I gave them like 6 hours notice.

Not sure where you are from, anon, but whenever I have a cold I use Sudafed's Blocked Nose Spray. It works instantaneously for about 6 hours and you can breathe almost normally with it. It has saved me many a sleepless night (I can't mouth breathe to save my life!) and has helped with the pressure I get in my sinuses whenever I get a cold.

I have the exact opposite problem. When I eat healthy food, I feel huge. Disgustingly full, and like I've sinned. When I eat shitty, carb-filled food, I feel just right.
High-protein meals make me feel like I've gained 900lbs. Grains, bread and sugar are what keep me doughy and gross, but when I eat them, it feels like I'm doing the correct thing for my body. It's probably because I originally lost weight by calorie restricting instead of just switching to healthy options.
It doesn't help that I noticed I actually gained 4lbs after trying to switch diets to be healthy (could've just been water weight, but it scared me into going back to my shitty diet, and right after that, I lost the extra weight).

No. 476525

Same with me. When I try to eat healthy, I think I end up eating too much fiber and/or water from all the vegetables. It makes me feel bloated rather than full and I'm hungry again in an hour. I really like eating fatty/protein-rich foods like cheese, eggs, fatty meats, etc because it makes me full enough to not eat for another 4-5 hours or so. It seems to just work for me. I'm satiated, I'm at a healthy weight, my bowel movements are daily and healthy, I have enough energy, etc. Maybe some people take to different foods better.

Fuck processed carbs, sugar, and vegetable oil though, people should stay away from that shite.

A comment in the Usagi Kou thread about how Lori is crazy in bed and that's probably why her bf stays with her got me thinking; what do people mean by good in bed?

I'm going to guess being down for sex whenever asked, willingness to indulge in whatever fetish shit, and (this is what I think is most applicable for Lori) that high energy that comes with manic batshittery.

I think high energy is the biggest thing. Maybe it's why they say crazy women are the best lays - it's because sex isn't a mutually enjoyable activity, it's part of them having to prove something, I think, so it isn't about fulfilling their own sexual needs but trying to prove themselves the best? Really dumb armchairing but those are just a few guesses lol.

Men are complicated and a lot of times who they hit on doesn't necessarily have to do with whom they find attractive. A lot of times it has to do with how much of a chance they think they'll have with that woman (but that's not to say that more conventionally attractive don't get more male attention). Like they will hit on a woman with tattoos or who wears a lot of makeup, not necessarily because they find those things more attractive but they think it means a woman is more promiscuous and more likely to have sex with them.

I'm just saying it's not as simple as "men dont hit on me, that means I'm not attractive" because its not that simple.

No. 477117

I've always figured you've either gotta

to get hit on irl. Hitting on someone is a risk, if she's very pretty the reward is high enough to justify taking that risk whereas a woman seeming like a 'sure thing' mitigates the risk. It's also just a numbers thing - the more time you spend around men and the fewer women there are around, the more likely you are to be hit on.

what does a dick feel like?

sorry for this autistic femcel question, i just saw some threads like this on reddit where men were talking about how vaginas feel. i noticed that i never heard anyone describing what a penis feels like. i never had sex or put something in while masturbating so i have no idea. is it pleasant?

It feels warm and like pressure inside. When having sex you feel rubbing kind of. Dick itself just feels likes skin. And erect penis is harder than expected and very warm from the extra blood. It's a good feeling, better than a cold sex toy but not really that special in terms of feeling. Also even though this isn't part of the question, you can't feel it when a guy finished inside. This always seems to hurt their ego.

If I forget how the day was when I wore the clothes, I usually sniff the crotch, chest, and armpit areas of my clothes to determine if I should wear it again.

Do any of you know of good sexting sites? Somewhere where you just sext with someone anonymously with both parties agreeing to not pursue anything more than that? Because a lot of my sexting buddies eventually want to meet and turn it into something serious and when you refuse then they're angry or become passive aggressive even though I was clear from the start about my intentions. I just want something purely text based as I can't stand someone else touching me but I like to imagine it and sexting is absolutely great for that. Please help, thanks.

Confidence and energy are hugely valuable in sex, and manic bitches tend to be both when it comes to that.

If you like to roleplay (like, describe in a lot of detail with or without specific situations and characters), you can use f-list and make a self-insert character.

For just sexting randos (which I don't know why the fuck you'd want that, since they're almost guaranteed to be knuckledraggers) you could try https://lewdchat.com/ which came up when I searched for places/apps. Seems like the modern day IRC for sexting.

Color isn't terribly meaningful without texture. You probably are fine but if they're tarry or runny you may have a mucus problem which can be indicative of some medical problems, and you should see a doc.

Personally, I have people I have "left on read" for months at a time before I jump back into a conversation and they (and I) have been fine and had no concerns or issues about it. I've also had people who I read their message, then go to get a glass of water, and come back to them sperging out about me ignoring them on purpose or some shit. I think everyone's boundaries on that are different and if someone is being overly pushy about it just try to reassure them that you aren't intentionally ignoring them, you just got busy/didn't have a good response/forgot etc and that you can't be expected to respond instantly all the time. If its something that needs an immediate, pressing response, they should call like an adult tbh.

NTA but reading this gave me an idea for a stupid question: does your vag really go back to normal after kids? Every article I've read says it does after you've healed up, but I've also seen moms online complaining about shit like they have to use 2 tampons at once because they're "too loose" to use just 1 and my friend with 2 kids said some guy she slept with told her he could tell she had kids (I assumed he was just being an asshole). Could someone really tell the difference between a vagina that's had kids vs one that hasn't by look and feel?

No. 478088

>>478078
I’ve had two and all seems to be in perfect working order. The vagina itself heals just fine, but something to be wary of is your pelvic floor - the hormone relaxin makes it quite soft and the immense amount of pressure it goes through due to the weight of pregnancy and then childbirth, it can take quite a while to get back into full strength and keep things ‘tight’. It’s why women might piss themselves after haven given birth, the pelvic floor is weak and isn’t keeping things in place.

So I guess to answer your question, yes and no.

No. 478089

>>478078
i’d imagine it’s really on a case by case basis. depending on the bodies of each individual woman they’ll handle pregnancy differently and heal differently so i don’t think there’s any one answer

Case-by-case. Something to consider is whether or not your perineum and labia tear, and to what degree, and how difficult/prolonged the birth is. But its a muscle and like any muscle it can be built back up, provided there isn't too much damage done like previously stated. Unfortunately that's not really something you can plan to prevent from what I understand, it either happens or it doesn't (and a c-section isn't a solution either, because it comes with its own set of issues)

No. 478216

It's like awkward cringe humor. It reminds me of when you have to sit in on conferences for work or class or whatever and the speakers are terrible or there's weird drama going on behind the scenes. And usually it ends up spiraling into absurdity and the contrast of that with how normal the delivery is can be pretty funny if that's your sense of humor.

It's definitely not for everyone though. Dry and flat and if awkward social situations don't make you giggle you lose half the appeal.

What helps you when you're frustrated?

Lately, I've been feeling so frustrated with everything in my life but I have no idea how to take it out in a healthy way.
Exercising, writing things down, killing things in vidya, punching pillows doesn't help enough. Listening to music helps a little but not long-term. It really sucks to have no outlet for frustration or anyway to stop things from bottling up.

This is going to be a really stupid question but how do you farmers that have heavy periods deal with working in a small office? I need to change my pads every 45-50 minutes (I counted) the first day and it's awkward since it's so obvious when I leave the room so often.
I work with two other women in the same room but they never apparently have to and it's embarrassing.
I previously worked in places where no one would care and I had a lot more privacy. So now I just feel extra stressed about needing to use the toilet that much once every month.

Anon reminded me to tell you that I also have a heavy period, probably heavier than yours, and when I change every 30 mins I still smell like a carcass (I have no pubes, if I had it'd smell like a 10 weeks old fungus bloodbath). Then I invested in (biodegradable sksksk) wetwipes and cheap urinary pad with silica balls. Be sure to take a case with you so people won't read they're urinary pads if you're ashamed of that.

I'm fixing up my resume and under my education section, should I even include that I was on the Dean's list? I already put my GPA and what latin honors I got. I was on Dean's list every semester I was in college, but it seems obnoxious to take up a whole line and a half writing nothing but "Awarded Dean's List for Fall XX, Spring XX, Fall XX…" Would it be okay to just write Deans List (Fall 20XX - Spring XX), or should I just remove it entirely since it's basically just fluff and my GPA is already listed?

Should people actually worry about eating too much fruit because of sugar?

It's something I've noticed youtube comments mention on what-i-eat-in-a-day videos, going "wooow that's soooo much sugar because of all that fruit!". Like, isn't it healthy? Isn't more fruit better? I'm so confused.

No. 479458

It’s fine. Fruit has no correlation to developing diabetes. Because of the fiber etc. the sugars are digested at a slow rate and don’t cause a harmful blood sugar spike and crash, and the fiber and micronutrients are great for you as well. It’s also particularly good fuel for cardio like running. Really the only concern would be if you’re also getting other nutrients that fruit alone doesn’t provide but as long as you’re not doing some extreme diet like that, fruit is great as a component in daily healthy dietary habits.

sugars stay in your blood and will play with blood pressure, lesser so from fruit however. i think the people saying fruit is "intensely sugary" struggle with health goals, and want to scare off people who might find the transition easier than they did. i cant see why else they would be set on convincing people how "bad" fruit is for you, unless they need an excuse to eat artificial sugars and pretend it is the same thing. it depends on the fruit, but natural sugars are leagues better for you than artificial sugars, there will ALWAYS be a difference whether these health gurus want to convince you or not, youre better off with the sugar from an apple than from a candybar. your body will process the sugar from the apple better and convert it to longer lasting energy, vs other sugars which burn off faster than almost any other vitamin/nutrient. as long as you arent eating fruit as your only meal breakfast lunch dinner, enjoy your fruit, there are far far worse things for you.

anyway; it seems like this kind of behaviour often makes men feel special, which makes me uncomfortable as i don't want them to think there are romantic motives behind my niceness. i have noticed that some men respond to my nice behaviour by offering me favours or things. i guess it's because i kinda act like a motherly figure by giving them validation or something.

what should i do about this? will accepting their favours lead them on, somehow? or should i take advantage of this? i don't really like getting free stuff or getting favours as i feel like i'll owe something to them if i accept.

I used to ponder this, too. Then I lurked in some of the more personal threads in /ot/ and /g/, and I've come to the conclusion that many anons really are bitter and nasty. Not as an meme/insult, like for real.
There are tons of regular girls and women on here too I suspect. Otherwise they're trying desperately to raise their dogshit self-esteem and feel included by berating other posters over the slightest perceived infractions, starting brigades, flaunting "insider" knowledge of rules or jokes, the list goes on and on… It's kind of like farmers:cows but on a meta level.
I noticed posters on 4chan do this too– I think it's supposed to be funny and ironic but some people are too dense to understand that it's embarrassing to take this shit so seriously.
You can tell how miserable of a cunt they are here on LC by measuring the overreaction in relation to the percieved threat/violation.
All in all though it is what it is! They can totally be entertaining too in their own way, like our own little mini cows. Hope this helps!

Don't accept their favors, most men do this expecting something from you, there are few men (or people really) that would give/do something for you without thinking you owe them something. Don't accept shit form anyone unless you're sure they aren't this kind of person.
>i guess it's because i kinda act like a motherly figure by giving them validation or something.
I have seen lots of people falling for this and its always the same meme: lack of boundaries, you aren't a cheerleader or their mother you need to draw a line. You can act caring/supportive but don't make it personal unless its very necessary, don't ask too many questions or worry too much cause people WILL take advantage on you, you need to draw a line so people think "oh she's nice/friendly" without expecting you to be their counselor/mother.

Farmers with depression: have antidepressants ever helped you?

No. 480242

>>480218
yes they helped a lot. I started taking it when I was 14 and quit when I was 17. Made me not commit suicide. Keep in mind, it doesn't solve your problems, it makes you "neutral". No extreme lows and no extreme highs. I advise you to get weekly psychiatric help while taking anti-depressants. That way, you can actually solve your issues.

Some side effects for me was sluggishness. I slept all the time.

Of course it varies from person to person and what kind of anti-depressant you take. If one kind doesn't work, try something else. Most people who say that anti-depressant suck usually haven't found the right one for them.

AITA and thanks for this. This is weird for me because I fantasize about fictional men(usually the really feminine, anime twinky ones) but never have I been attracted to one IRL and I see that listed there. It's probably the only thing that I use to reconfirm my 'non-gayness'. I especially can never picture myself being happy in a long-term relationship with a man unless anime boys spontaneously become real.

I gave a woman my number because she asked for it after we had a long chat in the grocery store but she only wanted to hook me up with her brother and that made me so sad that I moped for a week or two. The girl in Starbucks the other day smiled at me and called me cute and I melted and I'm thinking about going back there to chat to her more.

Yeah, seems like it. I had a similar experience.
I used to fantasize about anime guys or actors, men that I wasn't ever going to interact with. Any man I tried to date irl, I would feel attracted at first… then the moment they showed interest and tried to touch me, I'd instantly lose any interest like turning off a switch, and didn't feel any attraction anymore. It happened over and over again. Then when I finally put the pieces together and started dating women… all that weirdness just stopped. I was finally comfortable touching and being touched.
Obv I also stopped fantasizing about men, fictional or not. It happened spontaneously, because before I was trying to "cover up" and now I don't need to anymore.

so you're worried about men being 'hurt' by women or dominated by women or something? it doesn't create an unhealthy dynamic, because men aren't pressured into it and they still have more power than us. if you think it's lame, whatever, but the delusion and concern that it's harmful to men is shoe0nhead shit. men are still able to control the framework of the 'dynamic'. they literally pay for it and seek it out. it completely subverts common thought, so a man clearly has to have genuine interest in it to want to get involved. men are not shoehorned into femdom by society. they're allowed to explore their interest into it freely. no such freedom exists for women and maledom. it's dumb to even have a bone to pick with it. and men aren't even actually dehumanized by it. it's an interest THEY are capable of choosing, whereas we don't have that ability.

I haven't had a social media account since 2016 and have no friends, I feel kind of weird following people that I never talked to and that aren't well known/famous.

Yes, BUT (big caveat here) not all of them, and not the same one and same dose forever. Because doctors can't really accurately guess what specific brain chemistry you have that will react well or poorly to meds, and psyche meds are serious business, they'll often start you on the most gentle, common ones first. If those do nothing (or obviously if you have an extreme reaction to them) they can use the kind of drug they prescribed previously to start narrowing the list down. Eventually you will likely stumble into one that works with minimal or less obtrusive side effects, and then you'll stay on a management dose for as long as possible. However, eventually your body will build up a tolerance to that dose and you'll need to either experiment with increasing it or try a new medication.

As properly trying and weaning off each singular med is at least a month long process, you're looking at sinking a lot of time into finding one that works for you, and more time in the future to maintain that. Depending on the kind of medication you end up on, you may need regular (up to monthly) blood testing and may have to be wary of certain foods or alcohol.

Its not something to take lightly and you need to enter into it knowing that you can only glean some help out of it by staying committed to working for it. Just take it step by step and don't treat it like a magic cure-all.

How do I hang a dress with no shoulders? I ordered my wedding dress online but it didn't come with a hanger, just a bag. It doesn't have any loops inside to hang with and the fabric is lace at the top so I don't want to use clips.

What are some good, well rounded Christmas gifts? I'm having trouble trying to figure out what to buy a good friend this year… we're close and I know his interests, but it's all mostly anime and games and it feels kinda one-trick ponyish to just keep getting him merch of that stuff lol. Last year I got him a picture book of cute cats because he lost his cat, but this year I'm not sure what would be good enough to say "hey this genuinely made me think of you and I hope you appreciate it" but not be like "hey here some fuckin anime merch cos I know you like this series so ofc you'll like this thing."

I feel like anime merch are always my first line of defense with gifts, it's pretty much foolproof and I usually get fanmade merch so it's a bit more special, but when I get closer to people I always want to try getting things that remind me more of them outside of some TV show.

Is it true that if you're not using the "right" soap in the shower, you aren't really cleaning yourself?

My coworkers and I were talking about BO and stuff, and I mentioned how I don't use my parents bath towel anymore because it always just kinda smells. Not in a bad way, I don't expect my parents to smell like roses and butterflies, but I don't like shoving my face into their towel when I'm drying off and am not a fan of their natural BO (pls no bully about sharing towels, they're my parents and I didn't want to add extra unnecessary laundry to the load). My coworker said they probably smell because they aren't using the right soap to clean, so when they shower, they're really just rubbing the dirt around instead of actually getting clean. She said her husband and his towels used to be the same, but she got him to change soaps and now it's fine. Is this true or is she just full of shit?

Rather than that they're not soaping up the right places. You wouldn't believe how many people don't scrub their feet, inbetween their toes, or wash their butts. They simply let the soap lather and water wash over them instead of properly washing. Then they wipe their musty feet and butt on the towels and that's why they smell.

If they are washing properly, maybe they aren't washing the towels enough, or not letting them dry out enough. Bc when things are left wet long enough, especially in a humid, dark environment like a bathroom, they start to breed bacteria and mold

To TL;DR long family drama. I have a sister that's about 15 years older than me. She has a son, my nephew, that has just turned 21. I met them both for the first time half a year ago when she opened up her home to me when I was fleeing an abusive relationship.

So, I drink a lot. Sister knows this but doesn't really comment on it. Nephew is a shut-in manchild that plays video games all day and works at McDonalds but somehow has a gf. He has drank one (1) beer in his life, as far as we are aware, and that managed to get him drunk enough for us both to notice.

I just got my own place a week ago and nephew wants to come over and binge watch a TV show we were talking about. I told him point blank I was gonna be hammered if he stayed long enough. He said that he could drink too since he had just turned 21 and that he could just crash on my couch.

Now this kid is pretty naive but he can be manipulative and deceitful. Overall he's a good guy. I don't personally care if he drinks, but I feel like he's just using this as an excuse to get drunk in a non-judgmental atmosphere, because he still lives with my sister and she sure as hell wouldn't let him drink in her house. With this in mind, I think it would be really funny to have him try to match my drinking and get loose, since he's always so uptight, so I am down to have him over for this. I would also get a lot of joy for calling him out on his reasons and watching him be uncomfortable, since he should know to be less obvious by now at the age of 21 lmao.

My question is, would my sister be mad at me if I let my nephew come over and get drunk?

I've never really dealt with any family issues my life, as demonstrated by having a sister I never even fucking knew about, so idk if it is a faux pas or not. All I know is it would be funny if it happened.

No. 481452

I mean he's an adult. But your sister sounds like a tight ass so I think you know whether she'll be mad at you/him. While I don't see anything unethical with it, you also kind of sound like a mess and if your nephew is uptight and unsociable like you said, try to not be a creepy boundary-violator with your teasing. What's your age gap anyway, you hot for him?

No. 481458

>>481452
She is definitely a tight ass but only because she knows how spergy her son is and that he isn't equipped to defend himself. Me and sister were both party girls who essentially ran off at a young age and became successful. Nephew on the other hand is more cowed to authority and non-rebellious, so if he were to enter the club scene or whatever now he would just be a laughingstock totally out of his element and taken advantage of, because he was bullied and has literally no life experience.

I honestly never thought about the boundary violation teasing aspect because I do that all the time to pretty much every guy I meet. Since I've never really had family I've done it as much to him as I have any other guy. He is 21 and I am 25, so not out of the pale for him to find me attractive, although he has never acted on it. He just ropes me into long conversations about Star Wars and other geek bullshit that I humour him for until I find a gap in conversation long enough for me to go smoke. He seems to lack anyone to talk to it about and me enthusiastically agreeing to these conversations could definitely be erotic and appealing to him, as a man, upon reconsideration. I had simply thought it polite.

And yeah, my life was definitely a mess, still is I suppose. I think sister would take it personally if I let him drink at my place, whether it's right morally or not, since he genuinely isn't the type of person that is ready for it. I could prove her reaction wrong 'objectively' but it wouldn't mean anything in terms of our relationship. But I value her more than I do him. Especially due to familial alcoholism susceptibility.

I have a much clearer idea of what I will do going forward with this. Thanks so much for your reponse.

I'm not an expert in this, but half my family was Jewish and kind of in that scene (grandma wasn't radfem but she spent a lot of the 1970s in disability activism and stuff like that) and I've tried to answer the same question by asking around and reading about it. Part of it I think is definitely that Jewish women in the US at that time had this unique history of social activism–garment workers strikes in the 1900s (google Clara Lemlich), birth control, early Zionism, etc. So it was there in the culture, but also (this is more conjecture on my part but still) these were the first Jews to grow up post-Holocaust, and that shadow was inescapable and I think maybe contributed to a sense of "holy shit we have to do things NOW, we can't wait for the world to be better."

I've been feeling nauseous randomly while eating or right after finishing. This first happened about a month ago after driving for a long time, stopping at a restaurant and eating fried fish, and then immediately feeling nauseous and throwing up in the bathroom. Ever since then, smelling greasy food and certain things really makes me nauseous. What's weird is that it doesn't happen every time I eat, but random things seem to trigger it. Like today, when I cut into my steak, I immediately felt nauseous and couldn't touch it or stand being near it. I don't have a history of ED and it's not food poisoning.

Is it okay to offer gentle constructive criticism about a friend's diet and lifestyle? My friend always complains about her weight and makes obvious attempts to copy my lifestyle (but I work out for 2-3 hours a day and have different nutritional needs) but she's almost retarded about it. For example, she knows I drink coffee first thing in the morning, so she started drinking coffee, but she gets some sugary Mcdonalds drink instead of black coffee, and this how she approaches every thing. She basically lives off fast food and barely exercises at all, and then complains that she's not thin.

Is it normal for your mom to accuse you're father that he's getting to close to his co-worker and might cheat on her on an unspecified date?

Depends on how it is expressed. I know people who are naturally kind of insecure and have those thoughts that they occasionally voice, but they never accuse their partner outright and will always acknowledge that it's a problem with themselves mostly.

OTOH, I've dated a guy who would screech and accuse me of cheating all the time even though I practically had one foot in a convent and was too autistic to talk to guys in the first place. Anything can be abusive depending on how it's framed.

I'm agreeing with other anons, but I also think people who thirst for power are going to have sexual inclinations which are also centered around giving them the most power. And what gives more control than engaging with the most defenseless and innocent type of human? Not much.
And some may also pursue powerful positions entirely driven by their pedophilia since they know it will let them have access to kids and pay their way out. Sort of like pedos who go for teaching, but x100.

So it's either nurture, nature, or premeditation. Just my 2c.

The Shayna thread inspired me. She mentioned her "walls randomly staining" which anon's have attributed to her smoking a lot of weed. I smoke pretty regularly (almost every day) I swap between vape/bong/joints. I use nicotine as well but vape inside/smoke outside. I've never had wall stains before? I honestly thought they were a cigarette only thing but I understand that any smoke should leave some kind of residue over time?

Depends on the size of the space and frequency of smoking.

I smoke weed used to be daily in my bathroom, usually with the window open, but I noticed that my walls sometimes get slight discoloration. My bathroom walls sweat when I shower bc there’s no vent in there, and sometimes I’d smoke while in the shower, so I attribute it to that bc the discoloration only happens where the wall has sweat. I just clean the walls with a sponge and multipurpose cleaner and it completely fixes it. Since I started smoking less it doesn’t happen anymore.

I switched from using a traditional nail clipper to using a glass nail file. Supposedly it’s better for your nails anyway, but glass files do file down a lot quicker than metal/emery boards so it doesn’t really take me too long to get it done (I also do it like once a week because I like to maintain particularly short (but not all the way down to the nail bed) nails. I move the file with my hand when filing my non dominant hand, and when I’m filing my dominant hand, I move my hand against the file so I still have a lot of control over it and be precise about achieving the length I want.

How do I get over my ex being abusive toward me? I don't want to get back with him and I'm glad it is over, but I feel really dirty. Like permanently unclean and marked. I feel like I am a disposable person and have no value, I deserved to be hit and insulted, and I'm never going to be clean and worthy again.

I'm in intensive therapy and my therapist said it'll always make me feel bad and I just need to learn to cope with it. It's too intense to cope with right now and I got better for a few months and then back slid. I kind of just want to save myself the effort of trying and failing and kms. I live alone in a city far from my family and I have no friends. I try and have been trying to make friends but it's very slow.

Should I tell my family that this stuff happened? I don't want to burden them. I did tell my sister but asked her to keep it a secret. She came to visit me to cheer me up but we haven't spoke of it since. I have a really good relationship with my dad. Would telling him help in anyway? He would tell the rest of my family, but he has always been really supportive of me. He might drop everything to visit me, and I'd feel a little guilty for that since he is taking care of my ill grandma. I did tell him I broke up with my ex and was sad but didn't go into detail. I don't really want to burden him with extra trouble

I feel so incredibly dirty and it has been over 6 months since we broke up. I have started hurting myself and I mildly want to stop before it gets really bad (I keep fantasizing about messing my face up and then offing myself). I don't know what would fix this.

I guess I'm looking for two things:
I'd like a short term fix that would help me today/right now and I'd like a long term fix.

Right now I'm trying to keep myself alive by reminding myself that my family would be upset, making a care package to send to my nieces, and buying myself a nice outfit and making elaborate plans for how I'll spend Christmas (going to Christmas concerts, going to gingerbread man exhibit, etc). This isn't fixing the problem but it's keeping me from drinking until I vomit and pass out in the bathroom again haha :/

>I'm in intensive therapy and my therapist said it'll always make me feel bad and I just need to learn to cope with it.
It's really weird of your therapist to say something like that.
How long were you in that relationship? I was in an abusive relationship that only lasted for a couple months but it still took me several months to stop feeling so much pain over how I was treated by that piece of shit boyfriend.
Now it has been several years and I barely think about what happened but I admit I still feel a bit dirty when I think of the sex (and that time when he half-raped me).
One thing that helped me get better is that I got into sports not long after the relationship (whitewater kayaking and climbing specifically). Maybe try to find something that you've never tried before and that you could enjoy? Physical activity is very good, especially if it's something in which you can get better and observe progress. For me it helped because it took me outside, made me physically stronger and boosted my self-esteem when I saw myself getting better at these sports.

These things really take time as obviously you know, but I think you've got to try to take care of yourself as best you can. What your therapist said seems a bit weird but I guess maybe they're sort of just trying to pinpoint
that even if it does continue to feel bad you can find ways to cope?

It must be really hard not having friends/family to talk to though. It might really help you to tell your family, because keeping it hidden for other people's sake can really drive feelings of shame and self-loathing further. If you can, it might be a really positive step to let your dad know what's going on. But whatever you choose to do, please know that you're not a burden. You went through something hard, and you're dealing with that, and you deserve support and love.

I really hope you can make some friends and focus on those little/positive things. Just keep going. You didn't do anything wrong, you aren't a burden, and you don't deserve to be in pain and on your own.

Good luck anon, it'll get better, but give yourself time and take care of yourself.

The only person who should reasonably care about you being friends with an ex is your current partner. Even if you know for a fact you have no romantic feelings towards them anymore and have made that clear, people getting back with their exes is pretty common so they might be afraid of that.

Personally I haven't stayed friends with any of my exes, including the ones where the breakup was mutual, because I just have no interest in doing so. I didn't even stay friends with the guy who was my best friend for 5 years before we started dating for another 3, even though we parted very amicably.

It depends on people's experience I guess. I ended amicably with an ex fiancé but once I started dating again it seemed weird to have an ex fiancé as a friend still. I also was only hanging out with him for comfort and stability in a friend group, when I started feeling more comfortable and making other connections our friendship just fizzled out. Its hard enough with work and adulthood to see friends you love, I didn't want my ex to be a priority still that was the whole point our relationship ended.

Then with my current partner I've had drama with his ex which was unfathomable to me as we are late 20s early 30s age range and I thought I was beyond this. She would periodically contact him solely to find out if we were still dating and always insulting me, I came across the fb messages inadvertently when my bf asked me to look up details from a friend in a fb message and I noticed his ex who had been shit talking me was top of his message list. Like with my ex fiancé we both remained friends with exs before us because during that time we were all still pretty present in each others social lives. The instance with my bf and his ex is that her intentions are not amicable as exemplified by her badmouthing me not only to my bf but other aquintances.

I think if there's an expectation you'll see your ex frequently being amicable seems like the decent thing to do. I think it's weird if a current partner would prioritise a friendship with an ex over their partner tho.

what is effective against period pain?

I used to go through my periods absolutely pain free until a few months ago and today the pain is fucking unbearable.

I've been taking these no-brand painkillers but they're not doing much and I'm already over the recommended dosis. Should I get one of those branded menstruation painkillers? Are those better or is that marketing bullcrap?

TENS machines had the biggest effect on me, I got mine from a pharmacy, they're usually between 10 and 20 pounds here in the UK. It works by sending electrical pulses to block pain receptors. It's been the difference between me squirming in bed and going out for walks. I also take mefanamic acid to reduce the flow a little, but often I'll realise it's a bad period a bit too late so it takes a while to kick in, and the TENS machine has an immediate effect.

every artist has its own idiosincratic and self centered way of judging things plus they learn to be critical before even learning how to even do art, judgement is a daily thing, plus the artist routine is like a solitary confinement with economic estress added and so much is a trade where egos can get bruised or inflated easily . Cattiness is fucking through the roof. Even straight white males who draw somber military robots are catty and petty as the stereotypical 6 yr old spoiled girl from the valley. When an artist is a decent human consistently down to earth and pleasant to be around it really echoes as part of the reputation because it is the exception and not the norm.

Is it possible to be suicidal without having depression? I've been taking vitamin D so I don't hate the cold winter anymore and my regular depression i developed at a very age due shit life and shit people transitioned to a personality disorder probably so even though it took me a while I clearly do know how depression feels and I can safely say that I no longer have it, I can still claim I want to kill myself every day in the most gruesome way ever tho.

No. 484008

>>484005
short answer yes

I was at cool training about the psychology of suicidality. don't know how legit it is or if it still stands. basically your brain get's used to having it as a coping mechanism in high stress and it becomes second nature for your brain to jump in and suggest it as the logical solution even if you just…break a dish or some shit. so you get this instant rush of relief when you think about suicide and it keeps making the association stronger over time.

basically prolonged depression and suicidal feelings mean you sort of train yourself to view it as your mental safety net. if you feel in control rn you are probably fine and it is normal for a lot of people but you might look into talk therapy to work on re-training your thoughts when you have the resources.

>bluepilled is one of those people that alex jones types call "sheeple" or npc or whatever. the opposite of redpill, not aware of the world, politics etc. and often doesn't even care. stereotyped to be a superficial brainlet
>purplepilled i never heard a lot but i assume it's a mix of red and blue, a confused person who could become either way or just stay conflicted, might have redpilled views on some subjects and bluepilled on others

i don't think they really do. i think they just use people for time fillers or what have you, and move on quickly. people who "get attached" that quick generally lose that attachment that quick when someone else comes along. and seriously, you simply cannot develop serious, meaningful attachment in 1-2 months. reliability and trust can't be established so quickly, so the relationship is just not meaningful without that reliability being shown and proven by time.

I notice that there seems to be a lot of Japanese media/IG accounts where women in their 20-30s dress really feminine/soft and have like a soft aesthetic.

oh my god you drama queen. that was me and it was not the fact that her jeans were ripped and she had a layered shirt. it's the entire edgy tumblr ensemble that looks entirely too tryhard and manufactured for the grocery store. the chains, the boots, the layering, it all just looks like too much at one time for me. when you look like you spend too much time on j fashion tunglr or egirl tumblr, etc, it isn't cute. there's definitely something to said for a look that LOOKS organic and appropriate for daily life. being OTT for daily errands always looks lame imo. i see a lot of girls irl that you can tell spend way too much time on tumblr, imo, you don't want to be that girl.

i disagree with the sentiment that everything is too childish. i think you can do softness appropriately but it takes nuance, and people into any kind of jfashion can never understand that concept. all of these subculture fashions take subtlety to introduce properly to real life clothing.

The reason a lot of the clothing looks so soft is because of the fabrics depicted, it’s typically linen. Linen that is flowing yet still form fitting to lightly show off a feminine silhouette will achieve that look you’re going for, pic related. The key thing is for the silhouette to be simple, and accessories to be minimal - to achieve the correct balance, take off the last accessory you put on.

Plus I’d recommend you keep your hair a natural colour and style it simply, Japanese women are also keen on fringes (particularly blunt ones) so that’ll probably also help you achieve that soft look, and rather than full on layers your hair would be best off being feathered throughout with a wispy taper off at the end - this way it’ll be easy for you to achieve that ‘effortless yet put together’ look in a lot of such media

But honestly, you’re best off speaking to women either irl or in dedicated fashion spaces so they can better gauge what will fit your body and personality. Hope this helps!

Ok so from what I gather - there was a channel called Nicodemus which attempted to expose Bald by identifying him with an account on the RooshV forum. However that video was taken down and there's been no mention pf this since. The only available videos which talk about these allegations are:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vFNYmlUdkKk
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qEYnu7sKSd4
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-d2oJzZVE7s
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hp1jO9Fg1Qc

All of these videos being highly disliked - the first one is a recap on the Nicodemus situation. The rest are by are by a strange spiritual channel and if I have to honest I only skimmed them since they are very long and he predominantly talks about Harald Baldr.

Basically it's all speculation with no solid proof. There's no confirmation that the person on RooshV is bald and bankrupt. I cannot comment on Harald Balrd.

I'm Eastern European myself and I have a burning hatred for sex tourist and PUA scrots so this situation felt personal which is why I got into it. However since there's no evidence I can't point fingers and bald and bankrupt seems to be very beloved. I don't want to drag innocent men but this whole situation struck a cord with me.

Red Pill is also often used by /pol/ users and similar types. If you read something like "how can I redpill my [personal relation]" it's asking how to introduce the ideology (or "the truth about the world") to them. Same with something like "[x person/group] is redpilled", it means they subscribe to their ideology.

Blue Pill can also be a label that somebody gives themselves on purpose to mean they're against the ideology of the manosphere version of "The Red Pill" (see /r/TheBluePill on reddit)

Purple Pill is agreeing with both sides of Red and Blue Pill (usually the "manosphere" versions of Red and Blue Pill) or being unsure. Used most in the subreddit /r/PurplePillDebate

Pink Pill is either radfem like on lolcow or trans people on 4chan and Discord trying to get other boys to join them and "take the pink pill" i.e. go on HRT

Black Pill can be general nihilism or more specifically it's the word incels give to their ideology about things like lookism, hypergamy, etc.

The term that liberal feminists use is TERF. Trans-Exclusionary Radical Feminist. Though this isn't entirely accurate since not all trans people are hated/excluded. Only those that are genetically male, that were also raised as male within a patriarchy. Because a better description for this sort of person is "man that is offensively wearing womanhood as a costume."

For future reference there's a gender critical/pink pill thread dedicated to the subject. Please direct all further related inquiries there.

Don't worry too much about it, but do save some money for implants and procedures. Get your teeth professionally cleaned, gums checked and teeth inspected at least twice a year. My mom has it really bad and she is not toothless in her mid 50s although she's from a shithole country. You'll get some implants eventually, but there are ways to basically put a denture on the implant- and because implants grow into the bone that shit is like a third set of teeth. Up until then it's probably a couple of dental bridges for you, but those can last a long time and look great.
Also there is special tooth paste,you should use it.

Not only is dental insurance a seperate thing and doesn't cover much beyond a root canal or filling and only by their own terms which could mean no coverage, but you are lying about the taxes costing more than insurance. The system isn't working, people need easy access to healthcare that doesn't depend upon a company to decide what is covered or not, it should all be covered.

I had pretty much all common symptoms that are listed when paradontosis is being described. I just thought that my gum was a bit infected and therefore felt different. My breath also didn't felt fresh (to put it kindly into words) and if I remember it correctly I also had a bit of bloody salvia while brushing my theet, but I just thought that it was nothing serious. (If I knew at this point, I would've went to the doctor ASAP)

I just heard about it by accident because they talked about it on the radio and ever since I freak the fuck out when I think about it tho. I do go to the dentist, I do my brush my theet and all the basic dental hygiene stuff that everybody does btw.

The fear of loosing my theet got recently really bad when my mum told me about the relatives and their loss but then again she said that they barely went to the dentist. I do have weak theet by nature and will always have, so the combination of all written above just won't let me sleep at night. I will go to the dentist again about my gum because I feel like I need to have another talk about this because I do not feel right about it. Who knows, maybe it's more of a mental thing after all the feat at this point, which does not help at all lol.

I experienced complete relief when I took Xanax. But I also felt impared and high.
In my experience with rx's you can find relief through essentially getting high/experiencing euphoria, or becoming like a zombie and not feeling anything at all, including anxiety. Neither are viable options conducive to healthy living for me. I guess it all depends on how severely you're suffering.
I have also taken a less acutely impactful medication that made it a little easier to get up and go outside (after the inital month -to-6-week waiting period for it to kick in), but definietly did not magically erase my symptoms. It felt like a little room opened inside my brain and inside was the strength/will to do small tasks that used to make me nervous, or even things I didn't realize were affected by anxiety like aversion and procrastination of chores or showering, etc. This is the spark that you can build upon, with therapy and work, into a healthier you.
Xanax was wild the first time I took it. I was like "wow, this is what I should feel like," and that's how I knew it was bad news lol

This twitter topic made me think about my middle school teacher. I have one of his emails and used to contact him semi-regularly using it, but a couple years ago he stopped replying to my emails. I don't know if it's because he abandoned that account or if he's just fed up with replying to me (don't really blame him, I think my emails got a little much as I was going through being a teenager and becoming an adult lol). Part of me wants to contact him again but I'm scared he stopped replying for the latter reason. It wasn't an .edu email or anything the school would've given him- just a gmail account he gave to all the students to contact him through, so I find him abandoning it a little weird. I found a wordpress blog that he used for his students but it doesn't look like its been used past 2015. He no longer works at my old middle school, but his wife (who I knew because a friend was in her class, but I never had her) looks like she still works there and has an email address listed on the site. Should I email her asking for my teacher's email or would that be too weird? How would I even go about wording it? Like, 'hey I used to be in your husband's class in xx year and was just wondering if you had his current email'? I feel stalkerish, but going through a google deepdive trying to find his email also feels very stalkerish lol.

What is it about certain vloggers videos that make them look so professional compared to others? I'm thinking of people like Julien Solomita (vlogs) and Johnny Harris (who does the Borders series but also uploads his own stuff to his own channel). Like when I watch their videos, besides better camera quality, something about it makes it stand out but I can't put my finger on it. It's like watching a soap opera vs any other drama show on TV that isn't one- the soap opera looks like a soap opera but it's really hard to pinpoint or describe why it just looks like one (without looking up why).

Even when I watch Julien or Johnny vlog and the camera work is shaky, there's something about it that sets it apart from someone who's holding the same sort of fancy camera they are. Is it my brain associating them with the rest of their work so their occasional shaky camerawork isn't as offputting or doesn't appear as amateur? Or is it something else?

Last anon, reminded me of a flash game I used to play when I was really young but for the life of me, I don’t think I’ll ever find it again. I’m going to throw it out there in case anyone knows it(?) my memory of it is really vague though.
It was one of those flash games on girlsgogames were you are controlling people, and gradually expanding your village by making them have babies and upgrading the amount of materials you could hold/huts to house people gradually. You could only send the men off to chop wood/farm, and the women could only pray/harvest/pick flowers? - they all died really fast anyway, they got a little headstone when they died wherever they were. You could name them, and I think the whole point of the game was to see how long your village could survive for, you could see the family tree, and name each character. It was a dead simple game but it bugs me that I can’t find the damn thing.

when i got really fed up with the bullshit, i had a trial period where i unfollowed anyone that posted dumb shit, no matter how much i enjoyed the normal aesthetic stuff they posted… so basically anyone that made text posts. it ended up making my dash super empty so i gave up and stopped using tumblr entirely.

tbh, i kind of miss just aimlessly scrolling down and seeing all the purty pictures. i'd use it to get inspiration when i was having art-block. so i've been thinking of making a new tumblr (with the same policy of not following dumbasses) but i have no idea how i'd find anyone to follow. suggestions, anyone?

Reminds me of my internship that was paid less than minimum wage despite the company barely training me and expecting me to working like a normal employee while I was working with some bitch who was my age, had a worthless degree from a worthless school (as in, not legal recognized and acknowledged by the government) that barely taught her anything, who was super condescending towards me and other interns because she thought I was younger than her, and she only got her super easy and well paying job thanks to her sister-in-law who basically gave her a similar job in the same company beforehand.

Meanwhile I graduated with a master's degree and barely anyone wants to hire me because I'd be too expensive to train or to pay but they don't want to admit it so they say bullshit like "we don't have any positions available for young graduates" (while posting that they do in their job offers) or "you don't have the type of degree we want" (which I actually do but they barely glance at my CV and don't even read my cover letter so they wouldn't know.) Many people who graduated with me managed to get nice jobs abroad because they got lucky and rich enough to move there, or in bigger cities where you get paid well but the cost of living is so high that you're actually losing money by moving there. Because of all of this I feel like everything in the job market depends on how rich your parents were to pay you an education in a school that can give you internships and a nice reputation or just total luck. And networking is based on sheer luck and sometimes money, don't lie to yourselves.

I had no idea about what you're describing so I googled it and apparently that gritty or fuzzy feeling is caused by oxalic acid, of which spinach has a ton apparently.

If people like to exercise in their free time then of course it can count as a hobby. Every person should read and be active but way too few do, so if that's something you practise regularly and enjoy then again, yes it's a hobby.

tbh yeah to both of your assumptions, maybe not every day but every other day, def. would never in a million years consider it a hobby though. if "something you should do, however not many people do, unlike you" is the definition of hobby, going to therapist/any doctor honestly should classify as a hobby kek.
tbf i think hobbies are something hard to define/draw lines about just like what is sport and what isn't (like esports is allegedly sports but why aren't table top games also etc), but like if you come across some dude and he says his main hobby is gym when asked, you just know his personality is a cross between oatmeal and kiddie pool.
oh yeah, unless you make music, that is also a lousy excuse for a hobby.

why do you retards always argue about the definition of hobbies? hobbies are activities one considers enjoyable that aren't done with a direct benefit in mind. of course going to therapists and doctors aren't hobbies, because you do that because of the benefit, not the enjoyment. working out is definitely a hobby depending on how you're doing it. shopping for a specific item isn't a hobby really, but online shopping can be.

Where would I go to find a good example of a healthy modern relationship?

My parents aren't good examples, but they're kind of the template, but what I mainly go off of is don't be like my mom, and don't dare someone like my dad. But there are so many nuances! Should you make a commitment to always be a team? If the relationship is great how much is acceptable to sacrifice? Is it too much to expect a bf to not be friends with exes? Is it too much to expect them to always be on your side (and have a private word if they think you're wrong but keep a united front)? Not personal examples, though I do believe no friends with exes is both the smart and clean move, and expect the same.

I don't understand it. I've been going on subreddits like aita and relationship advice to find where the line is and seem to get such a hardline stance on what's OK. Partners being friends with exes is fine. If your partner calls you out in front of people is fine. As soon as the relationship brings you down or doesn't benefit you, leave. If your partner has some stance you disagree with, leave.

I'm trying to find a balance between being like the older women I know who were walked over, and being super self centred and destined to be alone because I won't settle for less than my perfection.

Honestly I wouldn't go anywhere to find an example. Media and the internet are almost always rife with shitty relationship representations, and everyone is different. Just because some couples have 3somes or hangout with their exes doesn't mean you're obligated to, or ~not~ to. The perfect relationship is where you both set boundaries and respect the other's, whatever they may be. Boundaries are always subjective. Personally, hanging out with exes is off the table for me. I would never enter a relationship with someone who doesn't share that boundary with me. Which is perfectly acceptable because it keeps me comfortable and happy. Some couples think it's fine and they are comfortable with it.
And that's also perfectly acceptable.

You should be a team, absolutely. However, you have to remember that your partner is their own person and you cant control them. And Visa versa.
Most people are very absorbed in this soulmates forever culture and it leads to unhealthy relationships where one party is toxic to the other, or both. Always remember that no matter how connected you are, you are ultimately separate people. You should never make yourself uncomfortable, hurt, put in danger, isolated, generally out of your comfort zone for the sake of your partner.

If you want to move for a job and your partner wants to stay, you, individually, need to weigh the pros and cons. Is this job your dream job? Will it change the quality of your life? Would you be willing to give that up for your feelings for this person? Does that person increase your quality enough of life to compensate? Set the boundary that makes you happy.

If your partner corrects you/calls you out in public, consider if they were trying to maybe save you from an even more embarassing situation. Also consider if they were doing it to be malicious and damage your reputation with someone, or make you appear stupid.
If you set a boundary that says you see it as disrespectful to publically do that, then that's your boundary and they should respect that wholly. If you don't view it that way then its not a problem.

Some people can have very opposing views and be together. If you feel like your partners views not only counteract yours, but threaten the relationship dynamic or your existence as a whole, that's a problem. For instance, most women would have a hard time staying with someone who believes women shouldn't be allowed in the workplace, because that view directly reflects how he feels about them; Versus maybe you disagree about gun control or foreign policy, lots of people work around those types of things. ~however~ if even gun control or something more trivial makes you uncomfortable in any way at all, you are absolutely entitled to leave them.

Imo relationships are two people living in harmony and making a social agreement to tackle life and its throes together during their time together. They are not two people fused into one entity who have to do everything together. The narrative that relationships are about selflessness and letting your partner disrespect you or make you uncomfortable in any way is unacceptable.


TLDR(sort of): Boundries are subjective and you should decide what is ok and what isnt based on how ~you~ feel and no one else. You wouldn't ask someone their favorite color to determine your own, you shouldn't ask what someone else's perfect relationship is to determine your own. If your partner makes you unhappy, you are not their mother, you are not bound to them by some dystopian-esque soulmate program, and you are ~not~ obligated to try and fix it, "ride it out," etc, by causing yourself more harm. You owe no one nothing, and even if something dumb like the car they drive makes you uncomfortable in ~ANY~ way, you are absolutely in the right to leave, or to not if that's your choice. The perfect relationship is one where both parties feel respected and loved because their personal boundaries are followed, nothing more, nothing less.

I know that I don’t want a relationship like that but ultimately from what I’ve seen it seems to be the key to longevity, and the Internet is horrible for looking for relationship advice, the only meaningful advice I ever get is from friends who know me, but again either they’re all not into relationships at all or in a long codependent, toxic relationship.

What you've got pictured looks more like a nighttime eye look, or at least more than most people would wear daily. If that's the look you're going for then you're probably applying too little. Also the false lashes make a big difference. If you're doing natural makeup (like beige and brown eye shadow), then it's not really that visible in pictures, unless you go really heavy. Eye shape also makes a big difference. If you have hooded eyelids, you'll have to apply it above the crease or it won't be visible when your eyes are fully open.

When I was a kid I used to play this hand game all the time similar to patty cake but it was creepy.

I cook for my family, but it's starting to take somewhat of a toll on my weight. A few members of my family are obese and not a fan of 'healthier' meals, so I try my best to make dishes that appeal to them while being as unterrible as possible. My few attempts at making meals that are actually decent don't go over well. Proteins that aren't chicken or beef go over poorly, as do sides that aren't potatoes or some variation of them. I don't do the grocery shopping so I don't have control there.

I've been ruminating on making my own meals alongside theirs but I worry it might piss them off, not to mention that it is some extra effort and expense for me. Has anyone been in this sort of situation and managed to keep their own eating habits healthy? Or should I just buy my own groceries and cook my own dinner alongside theirs until I move out again?

No. 487569

>>487563
Instead of stressing yourself out making an entire second meal for yourself, why not eat a smaller portion of the family's meal and supplement your own with some green veggies or something? Maybe just try starting out with that and if you still want seperate meals after a little while of just making extra veggies, you can transition further?

Probably not so helpful, but I've grown accustomed to wearing sports bras because of all the surrounding support, it just feels so secure and the sizes are less restrictive.

She's also talked about blocking patrons before who are in the higher tiers because they started to come off as creepy and make neckbeard-esque comments, and she doesn't want to foster any delusion that they have some kind of emotional bond that the patron is paying for. She's said before that sometimes it's not the people who hate you that you need to worry about, it's the people who love you and are obsessed with you and think that you owe them something.

Plus, a lot of people seem to really appreciate her for who she is so if some dude is being creepy and obsessive in the comments of videos, they'll shame him and tell him to stop.

How the hell does asexuality work? I know someone with characters like that but I don't get it. Is the idea to be only emotionally attached to their partner and not care or hate sex?

People like your acquaintance seem to think that not wanting sex with just about anyone 24/7 means that someone is "on the asexual spectrum". They've turned having a low to medium sex drive into a special sexuality. I think it's a combination of wanting to be special despite being straight and feeling alienated by the oversexualisation pushed in the media and by dating apps.

Honestly I have no idea how true asexuality works or if it's even a real thing. When I was looking into the "asexual community" I was told that my situation (absolutely nonexistent sex drive, body doesn't respond to sexual stimuli) is not representative of asexual people and basically to gtfo. It seems that most self-described asexuals still masturbate and enjoy having sex with their romantic partners. It's basically a meaningless label imo.

Wait, does it look almost like a very tiny 'crack' down the middle of your tooth? I noticed one of my front teeth had a line just like that and I freaked out over it cause I thought I had cracked my tooth or something. I brought it up during my regular dentist checkup and they said it was nothing to worry about, I don't think they even noticed until I mentioned it. If there's no pain or anything "off" I'm sure your tooth is fine, maybe just bring it up to your dentist the next time you go in.

When I was a teen my mom wouldn't let me buy thong underwear because she thought they were too sexy or that they were purely for sexually active women (my mom had all sorts of weird ideas, wouldn't let me use tampons for similar reasons)

The fact that they were taboo made me really want them so I secretly bought some, wore them and kinda did feel sexy in them.. til I left a mark on them (white thong, brown mark) Never wore a thong again after that, they lost all appeal and now I can't even enjoy seeing them on gfs, though I'll never tell them why lol

To wear for your SO if they are into that shit, makes you butt look bigger etc. If you buy nice ones and not cheap ones they can make you feel sexy (having a matching bra set it’s nice).They can be a fashion statement by having them peep from your shorts on your hips but I haven’t seen it nicely done since the 90s.

Also if you’re wearing thongs in this day an age when there’s a bunch of seamless panties you’re just a fool at this point.

Thongs are ugly but women are memed into wearing them. Men like it when women dress slutty, and low confidence women feel confident when they are dressing "sexy" ie. for the approval of men.

The saying 'once a cheater, always a cheater'

Is it generally true?

No. 489102

>>489093
depends. women tend to cheat for different reasons than men, i find. women are often emotionally neglected in relationships, or even emotionally abused, and seek solace or comfort, or the feeling of being desired, but it doesn't tend to be an ongoing thing, and it isn't motivated by sex. often there's real reason for them to feel this way. men really do often do emotionally neglect women in relationships. i feel that these are valid reasons for women to 'cheat', honestly, considering that often when women do this, it isn't a sustained thing, it's often done out of impulse because they're distraught and feel unwanted or uncared for. i feel like, at that point, you barely have a relationship anyways though. by the time you're being mistreated or neglected enough to bring on this level of emotional desperation, it's already usually the death knell, so it's kind of whatever imo. i think these women really aren't cheaters in the traditional sense, so no, i think that people who 'cheat' like this aren't likely to cheat again if not neglected or mistreated.

men who cheat because they're horndogs will usually cheat again. i don't see the point in trying to rehabilitate them or take a chance on them. men are already too impulsive on average, and then you're going to take a chance on someone who has a history of being sexually impulsive? potentially dangerous on multiple levels. there are some women who cheat not out of emotional neglect, but i think generally they have unresolved issues, they use cheating as self harm or self sabotage, and they aren't doing it out of lust the way men are. they're just emotionally unavailable and can't be in a relationship without hurting themselves and others, or compulsively attention seeking because they feel unloved. women who cheat out of lust and with such brazen disrespect for their partners are generally pretty rare, imo.

If you think about it for like 5 seconds it's obvious that people's bodies and ass cheeks are vastly different and some women can comfortably have a strap in between their buttcheeks and some cannot. Some asscheeks and buttcracks are shallow, some are deeper. Thongs are comfy for me personally, I don't notice them and I guess my pussy is small enough to not be bothered or fall out of the front either.
I was literally just thinking about this and how I need to buy a new box of thong-style panty liners and if period products were covered by health insurance I bet they wouldn't cover thong panty liners and men and politicians would get all in a tizzy about buying menstrual products for sluts with tax dollar money… and how if that were reality I would have to wear looser clothing while on my P so my panty lines wouldn't show and wondering if that would be oppressive or not… Anyways… anyone else think of long-winded hypothetical situations in the blink of an eye while sitting on the toilet?

That's not true at all anon! I can't even wrap my mind around how you could think so. Skeletons kinda sorta all look similar so I guess I can see what you're getting at but people's pelvises can tilt forward or back, there can be all kinds of different fat and muscle distributions, the size and shape of the vagina, shape of ass cheeks, length of gooch (lmfao), the way someone's body behaves in motion, and a million more things would effect the fit and comfort of a thong or any clothing in general.

this sounds like an "actually anal is the only thing that makes me cum!!!" argument. there's no utility to a thong vs actual underwear, and they cause more friction and obviously spread of bacteria because of the fact that they will move, and it's even worse if they don't have the room to move. there is no "oh actually thongs can be good" argument to be made except shilling for annoying, made for men libfemmy shit

I buy mid range phones a couple iterations behind, so about $400 or less, and haven't had much trouble. sure the camera or screen isn't as sharp, but I don't care about that. one issue I've ran into was small business repair services not handling my type of phone but i used to be constrained to an unpopular cell carrier with uncommon phones in-store. another issue is when the OS gets fucked because your phone is "too old", but I haven't had that problem with android so far.

if all you want is call, text, and occasional web surfing <$517 would do just that.

thanks for the recs guys, i just can't see the point in spending literally anything more than like $200 for a phone. i think it's pretty outrageous tbh. this guy i was talking to chewed me out bc he keeps buying $520 phones and his "much better" phones keep having software issues. this is like his third $500 phone within the past 2 1/2 years that he has had issues with, but because he creates mobile apps and "does this for a living", he assures me i'm stupid for spending only $200 and never having any of the issues his "much better" phones have. that's why i asked. considering that it's a tiny computer you bring everywhere, people can steal it, you can misplace it, etc, i just don't see the point in dropping more than $200 on it. i can get 2 for the price of one midrange phone, or higher end, and i don't find that they are so much better.

I love the disposable camera look but it’s so damn expensive to buy a new one for every special occasion. Tried some apps but it doesn’t look authentic.
I was thinking of buying actual film cameras but realized that buying film all the time would be expensive too.
Anons do you know if there are any digital cameras that have that disposable camera look?

anon where do you live? if you live somewhere with an active film lab (or even a drug store like CVS that mails it out) I promise that buying an actual film camera and film is totally worth it. it will cost less than buying new disposable cameras every time, and will also just give you a new skill/hobby that you'll probably learn to love.. you can stretch a package containing 4 rolls of 36 exposures out super long, and even longer if you get a half-frame camera (the olympus pen!). even expired thrift shop film (i notice goodwills will have bags of old unused rolls for 99 cents) can create some beautiful images

a simple automatic point and shoot like the olympus stylus (any model. a lot of people rec the non-zoom versions but both the zoom models and non-zoom models are fantastic and have nice lenses) might be up your alley.

but other good starter 35mm cameras if you want to search online (sometimes this is more reliable and nice when sellers bundle a case/bag and film and accessories) include the olympus trip 35 (which is manual), the nikon l35af which has a good fixed lens, and might be good if youre used to disposable cameras, and the cheapest of these options if you're looking online might be the canon sure shot af35ml. it's automatic and shows up in goodwills constantly. but with that, if you don't want to look online (where camera blogs and forums can create weird markups/overpricing for certain specific models, like the stylus can be kinda expensive…) they are always in abundance in secondhand stores. if you find a camera that works at the thrift shop you might want to hold onto it! and the nice thing is that the technology is old enough but still widely-used enough that there's a wealth of info on pretty much any camera you want and its operation, along with general analog-photo basics. pic related isn't by me, i just wanted an example of a half frame camera (olympus pen f) + expired film producing 2 shots

you can make it into hobby if you pick up candle making or pyrography! both are fun, 10/10, highly recommended. other fun things to do with fire: draw with charcoal end of used matches, make "medieval parchments" by burning edges off paper, learn how to make a house out of matchsticks and then set it on fire, making a spirit lamp, opting for those 90s floaty candles.

also on note of making candles, pouring them is kinda the basic way, after solidifying, remove the casing or not. can also use weird shit for casing like a hollowed out orange rinds (keep an eye on those when burning tho lol, fire hazard!). haven't tried dipping, grandma had to do it as a child and it sounds tedious af but maybe you'd like it? making them by rolling up a sheet of beeswax is probably the easiest way, additionally, great smelling results bc beeswax, duh!

Yes, they sold something to a EU citizen. You can sue them under EU law by going to your national court, and they can rule on EU law because that is the process if it is between a citizen and a company. In that case you don't go to a special EU court, since it is a horizontal relation.They can then try to enforce the judgement in the US.

Another option is suing in the US. Citizenship is not a requirement to sue or be sued in either the federal courts of the United States or the courts of any US state.

does it? i don't think that's what goy means, anon. isn't a goy someone who ISNT jewish? it's calling him a non-jew cuck from what i can tell. not that that really is a good or quippy nickname for pol to have given him anyways. they just insert anything yiddish into any name. it sounds like a jew is calling non-jews cucks, or at least this non-jew a cuck, and i dont see how it's clever for anti-semites to associate not being jewish with any kind of cuckholdry and repeat that amongst themselves.

and carl of swindon is better because it isn't bringing up racial or ethnic shit, it just is mocking him for trying to posture himself as some influential and cultured man of the world when he isn't, so whether or not the alt right uses it is kind of irrelevant. it's just a little more clever, imo.

I know there was some change with Google image search but wtf happened? Is pic related because my tablet is old and shitty or is this really what it looks like now? You can't even click the image to view the full size. Where the fuck am I supposed to get images now? No, really, what am I missing? It's probably obvious but I'm clueless.

Anon with a cintiq here. I try to tell everyone buy a 2nd hand cintiq that looks new. The price gets cut in half or more. I got the one before the current generation as I heard those have some problems. Only problem I've had with 13" cintiq is technically my first one was off colored in screen then shattered. Current matches color much better which I'm much more careful when it travels. Phone had fell out on top the cintiq which caused the cracks…not the machines fault. Highly recommend rebuying the hdmi USB chord at some point though due to it getting touchy over time. Otherwise very solid tablet that'll last me years.

I sent her the video but she has an enormous workload around the holidays so I can't promise she will get back to me expediently. I do know that she used to use an ipad, but prefers her kamvas for her professional work.

I am more of a hobbyist who makes decent supplemental income through commissions, so my experience might have less weight, but I do love my ipad pro. I upgraded to a 2017 model with the gen 1 pencil from my ancient wacom intuos 3 I've had for over 10 years (I also used a yiynova tablet display briefly but it was a piece of shit and did not last long). I love the portability and I enjoy using procreate a lot, which is only 10 bucks and makes huge updates fairly frequently. HUGE bang for your buck. It is also very intuitive to use. The only downside, to me, is my preferred program, CSP, is a subscription model on the app store for some reason, and compared to using procreate, CSP feels like a bad port for the ipad. I find myself doing most of my work in procreate just because it is much less clunky, which is why I would like to get a cheap pen display for my desktop so I don't have to pay for CSP yearly. But if I had to pick between the ipad pro and a pen display, I would pick the ipad.

So I guess it boils down to your workflow, need for portability, and what you need it for. Is art a source of income for you or a hobby? I also use my ipad as a laptop, notetaking in school, Netflix (I don't own a TV), etc which makes it more valuable to me. Sorry this was kind of rambly and long winded but I hope it helps.

>Is art a source of income for you or a hobby?
it's currently a hobby, though i'd like to make money off of it someday. not as my sole career, more for supplemental income like you described. portability would be nice, though it isn't super necessary. i also mainly work in CSP so it's a shame to hear the mobile version is fucky and subscription-based (like, wtf). though from using procreate very briefly (maybe half an hour) it did feel pretty nice to work in. thank you so much for answering and for sending your friend the video!

I talked with proffesional artists who thinks that new generation huion kamvas pro is comparble to Cintiq. Only difference I see is quality of plastic.
Cintiq has a lot of useless technology like multitouch, pen rotation. It's overpriced for use you'll get from it if you aren't an advanced pro who's using elaborate brushstrokes.
>>490366
Some issues in video occured because she failed to set up her laptop properly. Bugs can be caused by things like touchpad driver (for example cursor shaking she had with all other tablets), windows pen driver detecting it as a touchscreen, it need to be set up as a second screen in windows options (it's common sense, there are many different options). There are things that need to be set up in windows tablet options or else pressure won't work in photoshop, and only photoshop. Everythign is described on the internet.

I wouldn't say CSP is bad on iPad, it just doesn't have good touch features/gestures like Procreate does. It's just as functional as it is on desktop, albeit a bit more awkward/crowded because the largest iPad is under 13" inches vs most monitors and tablet displays being much larger. The subscription definitely sucks though, I think it is roughly about $100 a year.

Mine were both bought 2nd hand, craigslist in person then a bid on ebay. I'm pretty sure it does nullify the current warrenty as they're both probably passed the years allowed. I didnt have any problems with my old bamboo fun and then wacom pro medium so it doesnt bother me. The newer generation (DTH1320AK0) faces driver and loss of pen or touch functions. Theres a good amount of review on amazon talking about it. I also work in CSP as my primary program, do commissions, etc. Went with the 13" as the 22? Is probably only needed in large scale 3d animation and machine engineering builds. If you buy online always use paypal for buyer protection.

Sorry but no, you don't know what's you are talking about. Anything below 16" is barely usable, and big non-screen tablet is a better choice than small screen tablets. Smaller sizes of screen tablets like 16 and 19 are good for 3d. For 2d digital art the bigger tablet the better, 16 is minimum, I have 20 and it's ok, but I'd buy bigger if I was buyign again.
