>>585168I actually get this a lot. I'm surprised I haven't seen other women complain about it because it's super annoying and inappropriate. It's usually older guys who test the waters to see if you're interested, but unless you're in a similar field/work at a similar company, there's really no reason for random people to be messaging you asking about your day.
If you have a profile picture and you're a moderately attractive female, it's way too common. They're definitely not trying to start random convos with other men.

>>585218>he could be someone trying to have an informational interview with some casual openersI think they try to make it seem that way initially. My last job required a lot of networking and I met this much older married man at an event who claimed to have a lot of connections in my industry. When I added him on LinkedIn, all I got were random "how's your day haha" type messages and no connections. He asked me out several times to "discuss people who would be potential connections," like what? lmao
Be wary of these guys. They try to make it seem like they're pros in whatever industry, but they're usually overselling whatever connections they have in hopes you'll keep talking to them.

They will bleed in the beginning but should stop eventually. If they don't stop bleeding, make sure you aren't digging too deep into your gums. Flossing shouldn't be painful! You'll be causing more long term trouble with aggressive flossing. I use pick related and can change out the floss (and can move along the entire length of the floss instead of just using one spot- that's a no-no anyway).

I think the problem with advice is that some people tell you things that they want to be true for themselves, not necessarily what is true for you. There's a fine line there with someone just preaching at you, and an individual actually taking the time to think about what is wrong and give you a realistic solution for your particular situation. I've gotten a lot of shitty advice over the years so I understand your frustration.

Why do I look so stupid in full makeup, even when done by a professional? Even eyeshadow and eyeliner looks dumb on me. I always just use eyebrow gel, mascara, light bronzer and blush, and lip tint otherwise I look like i'm attempting drag or something. I can't even wear foundation because I look like so dumb.
No. 585660
>>585647As a fellow older farmer, I have found out that as soon as you leave your younger days, less really is more.
For your every day foundation, I would recommend you to use a Korean BB Cream or Cushion as they are very moisturizing and really help aging skin (I think the IOPE Air Cushion Natural is great but stay away from the matte formula, it's not very forgiving if you don't have good skin to begin with). If you need to go out out and want to look great, you can get away with a really thin layer of the MAC Studio Fix, I've found out their formula doesn't seem to cling to fine lines and looks very even (if that makes any sense). If you need to set your foundation, a really fine powder such as the Laura Mercier one will do, sucks that it's expensive af. Another tip if you still feel like you're wearing a mask is to blot your face with a tissue.
For blush, try gently rubbing your cheek to see your natural flustered color and stick to a more muted version of it, it makes it look more soft and natural instead of "hey, can you see my blush?". I try to stay away from bronzer, I just find it incredibly hard to work with. For highlighter I prefer cream ones, it's easier to apply and imo most of their formulas are a bit less of "in your face" compared to the powder ones. For lips, rather than a particular color or brand, I would recommend you to just try the Asian way of applying it, which is basically spreading the lipstick with your finger or a brush, it makes it feel less heavy. If you have the same issue as
>>585646 regarding eyeliner, try getting some very soft eyelashes extensions, if you don't use eyeliner they will last for a long while, and personally I believe they look fine without mascara so one less product you need to worry about. Of course you could always try using a very soft brown eye shadow to either line your eyes or just to deepen your eye socket.
I think most of the time its not that full makeup looks stupid but more like you girls are not used to wearing that much product and that's why you feel weird, that or whoever did your makeup doesn't know your face. Different faces suit different styles after all, some girls look great with heavy eyeliner while other are more suited to eye shadow.

Is gelling down baby hairs really considered cultural appropriation to some people? I've heard it once before but it just confuses me because I feel like it's always been a thing for minority girls with curly or frizzy hair.

>>586201Nah, prolly not. It's been a thing since the 1920's - there were a bunch of white models back then sporting "kiss curls"/"spit curls" (since you styled them and laid them down with spit), picrel. And unless memory fails me, Josephine Baker
did originate the style, but she gelled huge segments of hair, not just the baby hairs. "Minority hair" or curly baby hair tends to frizz up and look a little weird, so people are mad that white people with straight hair are doing it not out of needing better stylization, but just because it looks kinda cool. Honestly if it
is considered cultural appropriation, idc because it looks unnatural on white people anyways imo.
Verdict: It all comes down to hair type and stylization, in the end, not ethnicity.

>>586213It depends. If you're a shirt artist and a nobody of course you can't make a buck no matter what the subject matter is. But if you have moderate art skills and a good reputation you can make a lot of money getting commissioned by them. You usually have to be willing to draw fetish porn too. I know a lot of people who make good money selling porn to them because so many artists outright refuse to draw furries and NSFW simply for the reason that their requests are degenerate and their autistic asses are usually a nightmare to work with.
>>586217A ridiculous amount of furries work in IT either as sysadmins or engineers so it's not unusual for them to bring in a 100k a year salary. That's how they can afford their fursuits too, those things can be worth a car. From what I've seen a designer full suit with details is like 2000-3000 dollars.

No. 586873
>>586752Short answer, no.
Long answer, there can be no true equivalent. Emasculation is implying that a man has failed to adhere to socially prescribed masculinity and gender roles. He is beta, he is dickless, a simp and a pussy, he has become less of a man and more like a woman because being woman-like is an inferior state.
There are a million ways society insults womanhood and devalue those who do not perform the right amount of femininity, we hear it daily. Reducing us to objects with “holes” or “incubator”. Men call us “defeminized” for being GNC, but that’s as far as defeminization goes.
Women don’t feel like our womanness is invalidated by such vitriol for we have internalized that being born a woman is just like this, shit stick in a rigged game. Experiencing misogyny only affirms our womanhood, it is integral to being female. We don’t have the same kind of insecurity men do about their maleness and his place within the male social hierarchy. Masculinity is so fragile because men are scared they will fall from position of privilege, casted down with the lowly females. They literally measure this with their dicks.
In conclusion, people who believe in “emasculation of man” can not in the same way belittle a woman by saying that she is acting like a man, a superior state. To them, if a woman fails at gender roles, being fuckable and nursing babies, “holes” or “incubator”, she simply ceases to be human at all.

In my experience it's lame to wear the band's own shirt at their own gig unless it's either a very old tee, to show you're a longtime fan, or it's a tour tee from that exact tour or release to show you just bought it. Otherwise you just look like you don't know any other music.

I stumbled on her by accident and read her wikipedia article. I don't know why she piqued my interest, but I want to know more. Her whole existence seemed pretty sad and her death was so sudden.

I'd say it starts being "unusual" if you're over 25. Like it's weird when you want to invite friends over. If you also contribute very little (like don't do chores/only do one, sometimes) I'd say yeah it's weird. But if you're a functional member of the family who contributes to the house, I wouldn't call that weird. Unusual is a better word.

We met at work. I worked in a job that had me observe people for eight hours a day so seeing him genuinely be friends with women and respecting them raised green flags for me, even though I wasn't initially attracted to him. He's so grossed out by the porn industry that it's endearing.

How much do anons judge their coworkers if you see them rewearing clothes often? Not like shit that's faded and has stained baked into them, but professional clothing. I'm super self conscious about rewearing my clothes, but I just don't have a very large wardrobe. I have limited space and have already donated so much clothing that I dont wear, and now its down to some casual tees and pants, and my more fashionable clothing for going out to meet friends, to my nice professional clothing. I also don't stink after sweating (thanks genetic lottery) so I like getting more than one wear out of my clothing before throwing it into the wash weekly (unless it has a stain) because I feel like with every wash it's like eating into the life cycle of my clothing lol.
My new job requires professional clothing, and on top of limited space, that sort of clothing can be so expensive!! I only buy fancy professional clothes when it's on sale, but even on sale some shit isn't that cheap. I don't really want to make space to expand my wardrobe either since I feel like I have a nice, small repertoire of clothing already. It's unnecessary and I don't want a big wardrobe to make it look like I can keep up with trends and be super fashionable. If you were my coworkers would you guys judge me for wearing the same shirt or skirt twice within the span of a week, or constantly seeing the same shirt once a day every week/other week?

I don't interact with the outside world at all, and it scares me. I might just fucking not grow up and die like this. I used to go to events, hikes, museums, etc., but always on my own.

>>589677They're only called pickmes because there's a stereotype that because some men prefer the "natural" look (even though we all know that most guys don't even know what that means), SOME women don't wear make-up to suck up to them. It's a stupid idea and it puts more unnecessary pressure for women to conform.
Not wearing make-up being "unprofessional" is just another part of the fucked beauty standard for women, and IMO it's similar to when some people think wearing curly hair (~ type 3 or 4) down is "unprofessional". Neither of those two things are an indication of your respectability but because there's a certain look based on historical expectation for women in the workplace, they're automatically viewed by some people as untidy or whatever.
There's nothing wrong with not wearing make-up. I genuinely think that people look just as nice with or without it, anyway.

>>586756I've watched Vinesauce since 2012 and ever since the Art Corner started getting archived to youtube Vinny's audience has had a constant flow of clout-thirsty artists wanting their 5 minutes of fame and all the dumb bullshit that came with that. I also find it weird that Vinny responds in a somewhat misogynistic way almost anytime a conventionally attractive female appears on the screen, and if that's helped attract a weird combination of straight misogynistic men, misogynistic gays, and self-hating afabs into the community.
Vinny used to want to be somewhat insightful during the games he plays and was completely against turning into a "loud noises funnyman" and fans used to respect that but now that's exactly what his audience begs from him all of the time.
Joel has the worst fans of any Vinesauce member and that's been a fact for years. Even Dorb's snobby audience isn't nearly as braindead and rude as Joel's. Joel also has the JJBA autism audience.
There's a lot of overlap in Joel's and Vinny's audiences.

a few questions: did you lose consciousness during/after the fall? at the ER, did you get a concussion test? were you asked any questions about symptoms or asked to state information like your birthday or who the president was? if not, i would maybe make an appointment with your primary care physician and see if you can get a second opinion or diagnosis of a mild concussion. they likely will not be able to help much, but they can write you sick leave for a week or two so you can recover at home. even if you hit your back, it's possible the inertia of the fall and neck whiplash could have resulted in a minor concussion. get a diagnosis and time off work for your brain to heal! concussions suck and stress from work or symptoms will slow improvement. feel better anon!

>>592141I do that and I think it's a natural part of human sexuality, I do not think it's exclusive to women. I think a lot of men don't do it anymore because they've been watching internet porn since they were 8 so they never even had a chance to develop a sexual imagination or discover what's so great about physical intimacy. So basically, they've had a fake sexuality implanted in their heads instead of developing it naturally. They've been brainwashed.
It's kinda sad tbh. I dated this guy whose mom gave him porn at that age and his sexuality was completely crippled and it was not a fun time. It ended up being the death of our relationship because I can't deal with someone who learned everything they know about sex from porn. It's a pretty good sign they let media dictate who they're supposed to be in other ways, too. It's a sign of weak mindedness imo.
Porn seems to cripple men more than women and I think it has something to do with this societal idea that you need porn to jack off when if you didn't develop a porn obsession, porn is honestly really stiff, boring, unrealistic, and one dimensional. But that is just my opinion.

I've been watching my first (columbian) telenovela on netflix and it's so dumb, but I can't help feeling it reflects real life for women in some ways. I've lived around northern europe so not such a patriarchal/religious environment. And I KNOW it's not realistic, but how accurate is the treatment of women in it? Like the women fuck someone they love and it's like "whoooore", but the dudes can scheme and 2 time women and spend the night with someone and it's fine? A married man whose wife won't fuck him is shameful for HER when he tells her he has to fuck other people to get his "needs" met?
I can kind of imagine it in ye olden days, wifely duties and women being questioned/not allowed to leave the house unless it's to go to market or some shit. Can some south american anons enlighten me if it's anywhere near accurate with all the romance removed or is it all for the sake of drama?

sometimes married to is also working, taking care of the spawns and doing all of the chores if they’re not lucky enough to have a maid
who tends to be a side piece of the husbandOf course, as of now, the generation of women around their 50’s or 60’s are tired of this bullshit, and they’ve been doing their best to teach women that they don’t even need to get married anymore in order to be happy
or at least that’s in my home and the homes of the people i know ofYou will always find people criticizing the women sleeping with men for money, but that’s because they never got the opportunity to do so

Or it's at least a middle name, but men love to name their sons Daniel Jr, Jose Jr or Deshawn jr. It is really prevalent with them and their sons. I had an old coworker who told me he wanted to hurry up and have a son to carry on his 'legacy' when his daughter was already 10 years old and he claims to love her, but.. hm. Men are trash and need to claim territory, even though they barely do anything during parenthood.

>>593140hey there anon! i must admit that in my personal experience, ocd has been super hard to work on (especially when i was off meds) alone; however, as you asked for there are some tools that could help in the meantime which will help. i am not sure what your ocd focuses on, but cbt techniques are usually very helpful! this article:
https://www.psychologytools.com/articles/delivering-more-effective-exposure-therapy-in-cbt/ about exposure should help you at least confront your fears (its tough, but helpful). also, this chart (another cbt technique) focuses on finding evidence to refute your fears:
https://www.psychologytools.com/resource/cbt-thought-record/.
i was taught these skills in therapy, but i must admit i found it tough to focus until i took meds just due to how severe things became, but based on how you are doing it should definitely help! the last thing i could suggest is this book:
https://www.guilford.com/books/Getting-Over-OCD/Jonathan-Abramowitz/9781462529704/reviews. i was recently told about it by my psychiatrist and i have bought it but not used it yet but he says its very helpful and has helped others! good luck anon!

Not sure if stupid but I feel stupid about it for several reasons so: I have a male "friend" I always found incredibly annoying and disrespectful and I always wanted to have nothing to do with this guy because he ruins all the fun in everything ever. He acts like he knows everything ever while actually saying stupid, actually offensive shit. Maybe he thinks he's sassy and witty but he sounds like some asshole from 4chan with none of the potential redeeming qualities. Tries to explains shit that personally affect others on a daily basis just because he vaguely read about it on wikipedia. This type of shit. My question is, how do I avoid this guy?
For more context, it's important: the reason why I was hanging out from time to time with him or at his place was because he wouldn't stop insisting and when I ignored him on the phone or social media, an actual friend of mine also asked if I wanted to hang out with them. Because of that and other things I thought I was the only one who couldn't stand the guy and at some point with several other friends we found out that one one of us actually liked him and we all found him, at the very best, a bit "special" but because of that one friend we couldn't avoid him. At some point he moved not too far away from my place because of the cheap rent prices in the area and once he knew about it he started contacting me more and more often because I couldn't use the "there are problems with public transport" excuse anymore. He wanted to invite all of us at a sleepover for the last new year's eve and since almost none of us wanted to go because we're all women and he wanted to invite male friends we didn't know at all but we didn't want to upset our actual close friend who likes him, we made shit up to not go and it ruined all our plans. Now, that one friend is living abroad since like January so that one less reason to see this guy, and I'm thinking about ignoring him on social media and the phone again. Do you have any other ideas? I don't want him to start being an even bigger annoying piece of shit if I tell him to stfu and stop insulting everyone and thinking he's a genius and everyone should be his bff. I feel dumb because if I knew, I would have avoided that guy from the day we met in university.
tldr; how do I completely avoid this guy who thinks we're bff just because I wanted to not upset a mutual friend at the time?

If there's a breeze outside open your windows, even better if your apartment is laid out in such a way that you can facilitate a cross breeze, but this is way easier to do with a couple fans. If you have access to a freezer, having a bowl of ice near you might help you feel cooler (again this works better if you have a fan blowing the over the ice), and you can also freeze water bottles to put in bed so you aren't too hot to sleep or use ice packs. A cold shower will cool you off also. Try to block direct sunlight. But these are just things to make you more comfortable, your apartment is still gonna be hot and shitty. You should just invest in some box fans.

also about the accent thing, sure, you'll copy american accent since you learn from americans. but if you're not native, you know that some people overdo it. idk how to explain it since it's about hearing.
also they seem to care more about amerian politics compared to our own. like they sperg about BLM even though black people make up like 0.01% of the population here and we never had race issues with them. but they never bring up the race issue we have.

>>595275>>595285I live in Germany and if we'd go by the same standard as for weebs then close everybody here is an americaboo.
Two girls from my class wanted to move there so badly that they married an American right after finishing high school and I even know a woman who got herself knocked up by a american soldier (who then left), bitches are still acting like it's 1945 and America the paradise on earth. The amount of english words young people use is insane and like you said, all kind of local media is considered old fashioned and lame and most young artists here just straight up copy everything american, choose english names etc. But not just teens, most people under 70. There are so many boomers who buy gigantic cars, wear cowboy hats and boots, America simply really is still the "dream" for many.
I feel like because it has been decades since American media, American products, food etc has been marketed as modern and better, everybody is simply brainwashed. Ironically though most shit on Americans when it comes to politics but when faced with actual Americans so many turn giddy, wanting to talk with them, trying their best to speak english, absolutely retarded. Pic related, even American theme parks exist (with native americans and confederate flags as decoration…)
And about that BLM thing, the discussion about dreads, renaming things, cultural appropriation and so on is everywhere (while the average normie can't even fathom why stuff is suddenly bad or no longer allowed) and even local news are starting to use terms like POC - not the german translation, just literally "people of color" - how do you expect to teach old people to stop saying the n-word by jumping right to wanting them to use some english words instead?
No. 595422
>>595285>>595296Same here, I find it extremely ironic that rich people and local celebrities post about BLM bullshit when my country has a massive problem with colourism that nobody is addressing to nearly the same extent. A local brand of skin whitening cream (Fair & Lovely) even changed their name to not be so "offensive" anymore just because of BLM when this has been an issue for decades. Not even going to mention rampant sexism, femicide, rape and other less hip kinds of discrimination.
We also have a massive inferiority complex against the West but instead of trying to promote our own culture and good values (protecting the community by wearing masks instead of being retarded gun-toting anti-maskers, for one) people will try to ape Americans which just ends up looking incredibly cringe if you're even a little familiar with the local culture.

Main guy is also an cringy edgelord who gets his ass handed to him constantly. If you want a dark teen show, I'd watch The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina instead.
I'm sure Deadly Class is good since it was popular before the show, but I don't think it translates well on tv at all.

>>595527being vulnerable with others is really hard but its the foundation of strong friendships and a lot of meaning in life. i would start with just practicing sharing little things about you and your life experiences with other people - either online or irl.
ask people about themselves, relate to things they share as a way to practice sharing about yourself. (note: not as much if someone is distressed and just wanting to vent /focus on themselves in the convo).
Besides practice, you need to learn to accept the things about you that you are afraid for people to know about (i.e., reducing shame). Doesn't mean that you necessarily need to tell someone your deep, dark secrets, but you yourself need to accept these aspects of yourself.

I read "milk and honey" by Rupi Kaur and it was kinda shit. Not into poetry at all but it was so tumblr-esque and basic. Anyone got good recs on poems about heartbreak/femininity?
>>595629It teaches you exactly how to kiss everyone's ass so they like you.
Act interested in them, smile, use their name, relate everything in their interests and ask questions about them. Don't argue or criticise, look at it from their viewpoint, let them take credit for your ideas.
Having it all laid out did make me a lot of friends when applied, it worked surprisigly well. But with basically treating them like they're gods gift you're left open to exploitation. The idea of tailoring your personality to serve others so they validate you also doesn't sit right.

It is in the sense that fat people are discriminated against/judged by people at large, but it's also incredibly normalized and becoming moreso with time.
Ultimately, though, it's a changeable physical attribute unlike being a POC or gay. So while there are societal repercussions for being fat, it's nowhere near the same tier as the other -phobias and -isms despite fativists pretending it is.

>>596546anon im so sorry about your father. first thing is to confirm he doesn't have a will. try to look through any storage containers in his house or bank safety deposits for any documents. get a folder and put any legal looking paper in it. include bank and money slips, bills and anything that looks important. if you don't have any immediate family to help, i suggest hiring someone. i'm not completely educated on this part, but i know their are people out there (lawyers or attorneys?) that can go to your estate and value a deceased persons items if there is no will. as for all the records, like health insurance, car, etc. call the support hotline. you will likely be on hold for hours, sorry anon. but it's important. explain the situation clearly, maybe read off from a notebook and ask for the next steps in continuing your payment plan and how to switch the role from your father to yourself. honestly i think the toughest thing to figure out as of now may be health insurance, but know that deaths of parents happen all the time and the insurance company likely has a procedure of dealing with situations like yours. the phone/car plans will be easier to either cancel or maintain if you have the documentation available.
again, if you are alone in this, it really helps to hire someone. yeah it sucks, but these peoples jobs are to secure and manage grieving peoples funds and assets. they will know where to look, who to call and how to get each and every cent owed to you. im so sorry again anon, please take the time to grieve first and try not to worry too much about immediate things like money. you need this time to cope with your dads passing and have a healthy grieving period. best of luck anon <3

My neighbor is Roma and is completely normal. An old classmates of mine however is not. Starting from when she was 15 she had to wear skirts that cover her knees and while I haven't even finished uni, her kids (she has minimum 3 now) are already old enough to start school soon. Both of them are from the same family/"clan" (or however you call that), yet many of them still live so old fashioned. My mom's coworker (they work at a school) is also Roma and told her that at home she definitely feels like she's worth less than men - meanwhile in public all Roma women in my town are the exact opposite of submissive. In that family it's not too bad, but elsewhere are also cases of child marriage still happening. I guess people dislike them for similar reasons they dislike muslims.

>>597398We've had them in our country for hundreds of years, yet they still haven't integrated. They only stay in their own communities and continue to hold on to outdated or harmful part of their culture, like not valuing education, strict gender roles, parents having unhealthy relationships with their kids, violence and abuse… I'd really like to believe that all the bad stuff people say about them are just stereotypes and myths, but it's hard when I see that stuff with my own eyes. A lot of them really do carry knives around and get into a lot of fights, I've even seen a few waving around machetes. During my internship at a record store I was told to keep an eye on them because they've been caught stealing on multiple occasions, and just last weekend in a grocery store I saw a couple of Roma women get caught for trying to steal something. A while ago I read an interview where a Roma woman said that as a kid she witnessed her family members threatening to beat up her sister if she didn't wear the traditional dress (pic), and they also got furious at her when she was just 11-years-old for daring to go out in a T-shirt, because she was being "indecent".
There are a lot of good people in those communities, of course. But some of them try really hard to just sweep all the negative parts of their culture under the rug and not acknowledge any of the child abuse, domestic violence, gender inequality and other issues.

victims of racism (not talking about muslims since that's not a race but other anons made other comparisons) and who suffer from poverty with them, it's straight up insulting.

>>597515this smacks of yankie doodle posting. How do you integrate people that refuse to be part of society? Their entire culture is built around being untrusting of outsiders and moving around a lot. Black and latino communities don't refuse to interact with other people. They don't live with 50 other people and then up and move suddenly without notice every few months/years. If I own land I'm not likely to drive up one day and see 20 black people now have decided they live there overnight and there's nothing I can do to remove them from my land because of their protected status. No not all of them move around anymore but then they just settle into places and trash them longterm.
On top of that Roma culture is hostile as fuck towards women. They drive their teen girls out to big meetings where the boys essentially decide what one they want. They're taken out of school at 13 and are expected to have children and be married by 16. These girls have no outside contact and are completely insulated. Do you think the Roma males keep this thinking to Roma females? No. They harass young girls. It's part of their culture so good luck changing it.
The idea that Roma don't commit a bunch of crime is bullshit and even backed up by left wing rags. They steal A LOT. I don't think Americans understand how much. Again this is part of thir culture. They will tell you that themselves.

- a supportive family who cares about them to a point they'd babysit their ass even when they are a midaged adult, would do everything for and instead of them
-were highly spoiled during childhood to a point where they cannot not be a center of attention

>>597890Everyone has the "right" to be depressed. Some people who had average/good childhoods become depressed adults because they work at a job they hate, or live in a place they hate or just feel lonely.
However, you might just be experiencing prolonged sadness too. I always think that most depressed people are average? Like they dont have trauma but they dont have things that make them happy either. Some people are happy or anxious all the time for no reason, and some are sad for no reason. It's an average state of being imo.

>>597900EXACTLY. Depression is hard, but it's common. A lot of people experience it.
Something i really hate that some depressed people do is them acting like they're so different from everyone else, the 'u dont get it :$' mentality. They assume you must have gone through 0 trauma and that what they experience is so much worse all the time.
You have every right to experience depression, talk to your friends about it, get help. But if you constantly whine and act like your depression makes you unique/different, people won't sympatize with you.
Sorry if this came out harsh depressed anons. I just did these mistakes early on in my depression and it definitely makes you more miserable. Oversharing or defining yourself by your depression does not help. And it's so common with depressed-chans.

>>597890interesting question anon. the root of it all is that we forget to teach our children gratitude. we just expect them to realize how good they have it without any context. gone are the days of telling your little autist there are children starving in molvania when they refuse to eat the food on their plate. there's a greater issue of parents these days being a bit more neglectful, almost like we expect the kids to raise themselves. if you don't realize how good you have it you can't remind yourself to be happy, because you don't know it could be a lot worse. and when you've actually lived and experienced "a lot worse" you have even more gratitude for the mundane things in life.

>>598051samefag, they also always escape the law because the police are afraid of their clans, ie if you mess with one of them their whole clan is gonna beat you to a pulp at the very least. 9 out of 10 times i get assaulted/catcalled by a man it's a gypsy man. They teach their kids to steal and be violent from a very young age. Little kids beg on the street and use puppies to seem more pitiful, yet they break the puppies legs so it won't run away. Gypsy women sometimes drug their babies while begging so they keep quiet. They have their own neighborhoods they take over and destroy, and everyone knows not to pass through them cause they will be stolen from/beaten.
Everyone knows they're people just like everyone else, and no one has an issue with the integrated ones, in fact a lot of our top celebrities are roma/of roma descent. But the bad ones outweigh the good
No. 598160
>>598060do the clans have same kind of "avoiding responsibility" as here, meaning that if some families have beef with each other then everyone in that family/clan must avoid the other and have to move to different town so that they can avoid each other, because if they meet that might escalate into huge fights and the men trying to kill each other in the worst case
i have had romani friends, but they just have lot of weird cultural things. for example one girl i knew smoked cigarettes but she had to be very careful about it so that other romani didn't see her doing it or she could get in trouble, the women seemed to have very limited lives.

i painted a scene on a piece of plastic, but in my tardness i painted it upside-down. is there a way to peel it off in one piece so i don't have to redo it? i used acrylic paint. pic related
No. 598198
>>598190What are you painting it on?
If it's acrylic paint it's not going to peel off unless you used a peel off base coat. You can gently scrape it off and use rubbing alcohol or something to clean it and start over.

>>598219There is but I think those kind of treatments are only really available in Africa and India.
Either way, there are so many possible health complications you can get and bleaching never really looks natural. it's really not worth it. I would recommend a chemical peel for even skin tone and daily exfoliating if you're not already doing those.

>>597846>>598051I'm a Eurofag who's been living in the States since my late teens so I have perspective on both. Have you ever thought about WHY Romas constantly have to move around and why there's so much crime in their communities? And do you think Roma women deserve to be subject to misogyny? Do you not think they would like that to change, or do you think they deserve/desire it? Remember that it was only very recently that it became legal for white American and European women to divorce their husbands, vote, get a bank account, report rape and be taken seriously etc. We're not as far removed from cultural misogyny as you'd like to think, all that stuff used to be part of our "culture" as well.
Anyways, just replace your rant with Black or Latino people and you'll realize how ridiculous you sound. Yes they do all have the exact same problems, minus the forced migration. It's a leftover effect from hundreds of years of being treated as a subhuman species and forced into poverty through redlining and other segregationist tactics. Minorities in America have it slightly better because white Americans overall are not as violently prejudiced towards other races and insistent on denying the very existence of racism like white Europeans. Only like half of Americans do that whereas in Europe it's more like 90%. You lot keep pretending all your problems are because Romas, Blacks, Arabs, etc. a all inferior races who are just naturally inclined to steal and stab people and forms gangs and treat women badly, and everyone who disagrees with you is a clueless yank. Unfortunately I can't give you a cookie for critical thinking, even though you're a fellow paprika-chan.

>>597398Because they
>steal>are loud and obnoxious>refuse to be a part of society>take their kids out of school>have their culture revolve around violence and power relations>have extremely misogynist views>steal so much, it's ridiculous I just need to emphasize it>don't follow shared rules at all and constantly do small annoying shit like park in disabled spaces and queue cutting, are rude to staff members at facilities and so forth>have a retarded purity culture constantly shaming women for almost whatever they do which bars them from living a normal life>>597846Agree. Every person caping for Romas I have ever met has never actually seen how they are. Their culture is irredeemable and they can't integrate into the society until they do something about it themselves and that's just how it is.
