unless it's something severe there's not much you can do other than wait it off. Food poisoning usually lasts like 3 days at most, or 4 if you're unlucky. don't eat shit with a lot of fat or sugar, go instead with your typical bland hospital foods (toast or rice for example). when you start recovering start eating stuff that will give some electrolytes back, like peanuts or those salty crackers (that last one is a personal favorite, idk if it actually works or it's just placebo kek).

past experiences with food poisonings put little salty crackers at the top of my list, i don't think they're just a placebo. i think they're just easy on the stomach and keep you sated enough to stay away from other foods. orange and lemon juice help a lot too with the general feeling of nausea.

Not entirely true, this is what I hate about the drug community is this propaganda. There is always a chance you could have a bad trip or that it can make your anxiety worse. Some studies have suggested that it can make mental illness worse for a while or forever in small cases but like anything it's a possibility. Bring water, go somewhere safe, and from experience, shrooms are more random than other types of drugs in this category so I would be ready for any type of trip. Shrooms will make you temp retarded so don't do anything that you need a full cel with while high.

try not to have expectations for the trip for sure. Try to be prepared by having comfy clothes, lots of water, and some chill music. Have fun anon!!

There are various approaches but basically on the topic how just talking to someone could help - a therapist could help you identifying the source of your depression and work a way on how you could convince your brain to not react the same, intense way every time the trigger happens.

I personally suffered depression based on my circumstances, and so even with a therapist my depression really didn't get better until my situation did. That said, therapists are humans. These humans studied and did clinicals to get a piece of paper that says they're allowed to listen to you and give you advice for a fee. Like any human, your interaction with them will only be as beneficial as you feel that they're trying to really understand you and give perspective in good faith. I think it's a lie to tell you every therapist is good, and that many don't just see you as a dollar sign. The truth is like any kind of relationship with other people, you need to seek out therapists that click with you. No one here can make promises that if you sought a therapist tomorrow that it would be amazing. It's a lot like having to vet for a good doctor, obgyn, lawyer, date, etc. It's going to entirely depend on who you filter and what you do with that time.

I attempted it a few times and gave up whenever my childhood was brought up, some sort of trauma there that I couldn't stand to go near. Tbh IME I aged out of my depression around the time I hit 30. From my teens til then I found that very little seemed to take the edge off of the lows.

Give all your options a decent try though, sometimes a lifestyle change helps too, getting away from a person that upsets you or moving out of a bad area or away from a monotonous job.

I had a bad trip the first time I took shrooms but it changed me completely and forever, in a good way. I would advise you to just be chill and listen to music, stay close to nature etc, but if a bad trip hits you anyway, try not to judge it, just let it be. Listen to some Alan Watts, it might alleviate the trip.

Depression is a horrible thing to deal with and I am very sorry you have had to deal with it so long. Honestly, I would say therapy can only do so much for you and can only give you coping skills for when it gets hard. They will give you grounding techniques, if you have unresolved trauma you may work through it, they can teach you how to work through negative thought loops. Obviously, it's up to you whether or not you utilize them in an episode.

I have made peace with the realization I am going to have bad days, bad weeks or months but I will also have good ones. Some days I am so sure that I am going to kill myself. It's up to you if you can work through that or if you give in. That's the experience most people will have. Set small goals, keep a small list of what you are living for. Give therapy a genuine shot and don't expect to have a great therapist the first time around, no shame in shopping around. The most important thing is not going into therapy expecting them to fix you.

>Therapy ishust how they lure you in to get drugs

IDK about non westerners but if you're lower class then they really push you to get on antidepressants. Shame real hard, and only once you get on them do they give you a recommendation for a social worker/psychologist.
Even after you get off them, lots of ppl have permanent emotional numbness and reduced IQ and concentration. The only really helpful meds are gatekept for richer customers.

>force you to go back literally to when you were a fetus and dredge up every shityy thing that you ever forgot about


Basically retraumatizing you. Unless they're the top psychologists then they usually do nothing/do harm. All the strategies and coping mechanisms are out there o the internet, and if you're self awareness enough to understand the problem then you can do it by yourself. I don't understand this 'just get therapy' sperging. It's like the modern 'just go pray'.

No. 669602

Honestly anons, therapy does retraumatize you and they make you get on meds that change your brain chemistry forever, and don’t actually change your situation at all. Sometimes therapy can be helpful as far as recognizing behavioral patterns you need to change, but that’s it. Try not to let them push drugs on you and don’t let them force you to talk about childhood trauma you aren’t comfortable talking about. ESPECIALLY IF YOU HAVE PTSD!! It will send you spiraling, with your wounds ripped open, and then they push more meds on you and just keep rescheduling appointments. I’ve been addicted to antidepressants since I was 12 years old and I honestly know my brain didn’t develop properly compared to my sisters who went through the exact same experiences, same MDD and PTSD but minus the meds. I can’t cope without medication because my brain will not produce serotonin correctly now. I constantly feel numb and have memory problems but it gets worse when I taper off meds, and I mean it just won’t go away.. the only thing that has truly changed my life for the better drug wise was LSD. I only did it twice, but I truly resolved and came to peace with more in my life than I ever did with years of therapy. I found God and accepted everything that’s ever happened to me with an outside perspective. I’m not trying to advocate drug use I’m being honest about how it helped me. ALSO working out and eating healthily seems to really help manage my depression the most. I’m still working on lowering my SSRI dosage because I really would love to function without it someday. I will just keep trying and warn others about how it really just makes your actual brain chemistry worse than it was before. Don’t let them tell you it’s “non addictive” because that’s fucking bullshit.

OT but as a westerner from a country with free healthcare I would feel the same way if I lived in ay part of the world where doctors only have the incentives to keep you coming back. Our doctors want us to get better so they'll leave them the fuck alone.

Just to share my experience, also a free healthcare country but i've only went for a private paid appoinments; I know it can be bad as some anons are saying and there may be people who will just want to take your money but in my case I feel like it was the opposite; once I told a new therapist I will be leaving in +/- 3 months but I want to continue meetings and he advised right off the bat I don't do that and rather focus on finding a therapist in a new place, which was really nice because he totally could keep making money off me for these three months, and other time, when I was looking for a new therapist after moving, really expensive visit one told me she doesn't think she can help me and I should try someone else. My point is, there definitely are therapists that actually have people's best interest in mind too, so it's not all hopeless.

Thank you for the kind words anon, it means a lot.

I have a lot of depression and anxiety but I only ever had a bad trip once. And it was because another friend was having a bad trip so it freaked me out.
Shrooming won't cure you from anxiety but it may reveal a perspective that you need. The afterglow from psychedelic experience is amazing, I like it more than the trips themselves. I feel so rejuvenated and motivated. Of course I lapse back into the habitual depressed bitch mindset eventually but for a couple weeks after I got to feel good and get things done.
If you go into it feeling ready and comfortable you'll be fine. Pre-trip preparation is everything.
- be in an environment where you feel safe, ideally have the option to go outside and stay indoors, I know many people alternate between wanting to be indoors and wanting fresh sky air
- be around people whom you know will not judge you!!!
- have a trip sitter, sounds like your brother has experience, he'll be able to guide you through it and be a point of contact with reality
- have weed for the comedown, it will help you sleep, the mental exhaustion of the trip can be discomfort if you can't fall asleep
- Anticipation nervousness is perfectly normal, don't psych yourself out thinking you have to be perfectly zen or you'll have a bad trip, just keep it a positive type of excitement, I sip a beer or two on the come up
- Surrender yourself to the experience, you are not losing control, it is simply letting your ego take the backseat
- Have music playlists. A change in music is powerful, if you need your mind to take in a different direction, just put on a different song. It's so cliche but honestly happy Beatles music is my comfort soundtrack when I need a break from the more trippy psychedelic type beat
- I personally love touching water lol we would have a kiddie pool out in the yard 10/10 I couldn't stop laughing, the feeling of water is hilarious
I'll stop as to keep my post from getting too lengthy lol have fun and let us know how it goes!!!

Maybe with therapy but not necessarily with drugs. My country has an excellent free healthcare system but doctors have quotas to meet when prescribing drugs and investigations reveal drug companies bribing. Also funding is an issue and the doctors will probably give you drugs that are inexpensive even if more expensive ones would be better (especially an issue with drugs that are not yet allowed to be manufactured under generic brand)

Of course it’s preferable to not having access to healthcare but still there are massive issues with free healthcare systems. Doctors may want us to get better but the system doesn’t always allow that

Is it bad if I give money to charity instead of saving up? My parents have supported me and they don’t like how much money I give away. But I feel like if they give me money they shouldn’t care what I do with it. I think they threatened to give more money to my sister instead because she doesn’t give it away (but isn’t otherwise more financially responsible)

My dad randomly gave me $200 because Trump lost and now I want to give away $50 to the World Wildlife Fund or some other non profit. It’s not really financially responsible but I feel like I should pass something like that on. Is that bad?

It's not about being dumb or mindless though… it's about chosing to be healthily optimistic, bright, and happy. Because other things are bothersome, idk if I'm explaining myself, sometimes I can achieve this and sometimes I seethe too much about trannies, sjws and scrotes on here lol

Not too long, maybe 30 min to an hour once they’re home? Also depends how well prepared you are ahead of time. Like if someone already has soft food to eat, access to liquids, pain meds and cleaning supplies then they should be set. It obviously helps to have a person around to remind you to take meds but you can set timers and such.

I had a summer job this summer where I was on my feet everyday as well and I also had a lot of fat coworkers. Have you ever watched what they eat? The first thing my fat coworkers did when they got into the canteen was go to the coffee machine and get themselves one or two cups of chocolate milk. Next they pull out something sweet or calorific left overs like pasta from last night's dinner and eat that, even before lunch. And it goes on like that all day.

Thank you anons, you're right. It just seemed to be that the most plausible answer would be the easiest one for me, so that's why I felt bad.

When I once told him a situation she did to him was also exactly what she did when I was a kid, and that things won't easily change because it's a pattern, all he did was larmenting that my mom/him is a completely different thing and that his mother was worse because she financially milked her son to the last drip (you know, like my mom does now lmao), instantly making it some kind of weird competition when I just wanted to give him a subtle hint.

From what I've seen, the n word in both forms only shows up here and there and anons tend to censor themselves when they do bring it up. Slurs historically about gay people are used more frequently in their full form though. I guess it could be because a lot of anons here are lesbians/bi or since the f slur has a history in the terms/lingo on the board but I was also under the impression that there are quite a few Black anons as well. Once again, I'm genuinely just interested in what people's reasonings for this are.

People probably don't say nigger/spic/etc a lot unlike on chans because it's frequently used with posts that tend to be racebaity which is against the rules, and also while not "sjw" per se this site leans antiracist. Seen plenty of economically right-leaning anons but no one unironically advocating for ethnonationalism. So while we don't need to censor ourselves, people here will probably default to other slurs over racial ones. Also maybe women use slurs less in general even online because we are used to being more soft spoken irl. All just speculation of course but that's what comes to mind for me.

These were both really helpful responses, so thank you! I'm just glad my question didn't come off as baity as I thought it would.
I guess I kinda ended up partially answering my own question since I acknowledge the f slur is pretty ingrained in this site and it isn't necessarily attributed to the actual word itself versus the n word which tends to keep its traditional meaning for the most part. Board culture overall is very new to me and seeing the stark contrast between how other chans/boards (which likely skew toward male perspectives) approach slurs versus this one has just been interesting. Thanks again!

I honestly just think some slurs (the n word in particular) are seen as more insulting than others without much reason. And it happens everywhere, not just here. Normally I would think words like faggot, cunt, whore or bitch are as bad as nigger and aside from this post I wouldn't like to say any of those. But apparently it's fine to yell faggot left and right but the n word needs to be censored. The reclaiming argument doesn't really make sense to me as the n word could also lose meaning like every slur does eventually, but what do I know.

Original anon, and what I'm gathering is that it's really dependent on the circles you've been in both online and in real life. Because no one I know has a history with board/chans at all, so that could explain why I'm so unaccustomed to people using slurs, outside of the people who are "reclaiming" them. Even when I was younger, I only heard the n word (in both forms) from my Black relatives and it wasn't until I got older and on the internet that I was exposed to slurs being used in a derogative or "bastardized" sense. I hope this all makes sense. Thank you for answering btw!

Faggot, cunt, whore and bitch are basically feminised insults. Gay men got faggots for acting effeminate. Cunt whore and bitch are self explanatory and I think most women have claimed those terms back as men have been pretty sexist. In fact I think faggot got taken and used against straight men who are obnoxiously misogynistic. I would always be mindful to not outright call an actual gay man a fag or faggot because of homophobia. The n word is obviously used by racist and while I'm a women and understand sexism, bitch, cunt and whore do not offend me unless some faggot is intentionally trying to do so, but even then its not the words I'm offended by it's his intent. Like I can't see the n word being used in a non racist context unless it's used within the communities that have the right to claim the word the way women did with bitch.

If you like sugar, you can't go wrong with a latte. I'm a fan of anything with cinnamon, peppermint, or pumpkin in it. I'd recommend a cinnamon dolce latte from Starbucks if you have one nearby.
Frappes/frappucinos tend to be overly sugary imo, but I still like them. I can't stand straight up black coffee though. Too bitter and pronounced even when you put cream or sugar in it.
Also, I'd suggest trying caffeinated teas as well. They're not as strong, in my opinion. You can't go wrong with a good chai (once again, it's mainly cinnamon with some other stuff.)

Start with 70% milk to 30% coffee, build your tastebuds up every time. Someday You'll be able to taste dark coffee.

I would say just get one of those cheap plastic cones you put over a cup and some filters and pick a nice preground blonde or medium roast. If you get coffee from the grocery store, and there are any kinds that list the undertones of the blend, then look for ones that sound like foods or scents you like. Also, if you are getting used to coffee then a very small amount of a high milkfat % cream can go along way, and makes it sweet without any added sugar. This is how I enjoy coffee the most, and it gives a really fresh and less bitter taste without the cost of going to a cafe.

in my language it's never called "french girl" but "french chic" and is not associated with youth but with elegance, which I think describes the style itself better as it's all about being stylish, not being young.

Basically, look for someone who will introduce you to the ideals, not just dry theory of what said religion is.

I'm kinda annoyed seeing all of these dismissive answers you get while there's a reason humans from the dawn of time engaged in some kind of worship and rituals. There's comfort in being able to believe in something bigger, not everyone needs it, but some people do and there's nothing bad or wrong with seeking it. I hope you'll explore your options and eventually be able to find what you're looking for; in religion or not. These most forward thinking religious communities tend to get with the times and have online presence so you can start your search there, of course be careful about sects - not sure where you are from, in my country is a nonexistent risk but gotta stay vigilant anyway; maybe you have some friends from the past that you could reach out and ask for recommendations on what to do. Overall, good luck.

A lot of people don't change their surroundings and expect their deities to fix it for them. Since you don't believe in said deities and went through the process of fixing things first it's probably not as easy to conceptualize any kind of helpful creator entity.. and why would it be? You just did all the work, right?
Here's the thing, you're too grounded in reality. Many people place trust in gods because it's a cathartic way to feel like someone is there to share their burdens with them. How do you become less grounded and believe? You just do it. You create a pattern, you choose an entity/god and speak or pray to it, and keep doing that. It doesn't matter how ridiculous it seems.

I obviously meant half-assed as in how you can't get yourself to believe in it.

You sound depressed and desperate, anon. (Good news if you really absolutely must have religion in your life: cults and religion love people like you! They will be happy to lovebomb you.)

Meaningful life isn't a thing that happens TO you - it's a thing you DO yourself. There's no magic fix to feeling like your life is pointless, but you can make a good start on it by putting new stuff in your brain. Start a new hobby that gets you out of the house. Volunteer! Take up exercise - 30 mins outdoors, every day, minimum. Read more books. Listen to music that you're not used to.

I promise you everything is not pointless bullshit. Sometimes we just need a major change, like an animal in a cage in a zoo - we get bored to the point of losing the will to live if we don't change our habitat and habits.

There's already plenty of magic in everyday things that happen around us. Go into nature, watch some plants grow, read more about the incredible diversity of plant life and how so many have evolved to do amazing things. Isn't it already magical how little seeds grow into big trees and chubby caterpillars become butterflies?

We're already so lucky to have been born and live in nature's magic kingdom, especially as specimens of a species that can see and learn so much more of it than if we were a wild animal. Your time on earth is limited, and after your journey is over you will go back into the earth and your body will help some lucky trees grow very tall.

I don't know what more meaning people could want out of life. Enjoy the ride and be good to mother nature, make a garden, plant a tree. That's really all it takes.

I don’t see them as often anymore but does anyone remember those posts on social media that would act as a PSA to women about sex trafficking? Like if you see a piece of tape on your car door handle it means that you’ve been targeted by a sex trafficker or if a woman with an accent approaches you and tries to take your photo it’s because she’s recruiting you. These posts always seemed like such obvious fear mongering and ~stranger danger~ tales. And now I feel like I often hear about towns being a sex traffickers paradise but i’m not sure how people get this info? I think i’m just confused because I always thought sex traffickers were something like pimps and just recruited from an already existing pool of sex workers or groomed at risk youth. Is sex trafficking in the way we speak about it in recent times actually accurate? Asking as a burger.

I wanted to maybe meet up again just based on how hung he was but his mental health seemed to quickly nosedive after our meeting.

It’s definitely more on the kidnapping children and grooming them side. They require less energy to keep alive and can’t fight back. Kidnapping adult women for it is usually done by psychos who will eventually kill you, not sex traffickers. At one point the highest concentration of sex trafficking in America was in the state of Ohio, so it can totally happen in podunk areas and that actually might make it easier.

i live in the Canadian rust belt and I used to know a woman who was trafficked. She went to my high school and worked at a local restaurant, she was completely average. One day, one of her then-recently-hired female coworkers invited her to a night of partying a few cities over, about 40 min outside of our hometown. The coworker paid for all of their expenses, and by the end of the night she told the girl that she owed her like 2k and demanded reimbursement. This girl said she couldn't afford it, so the coworker drove her to a strip club in another town nearby and told her to make up the sum that she owed as a dancer and then they'd call it even. They used some intimidation tactics to rope her into it, once she went inside the strip club they took away her cellphone and ID and she was basically sold into a human sex trafficking ring. They didn't let her leave, she was constantly under watch, they got her addicted to drugs, and they made her have sex with clients. She says that she explained her situation to a few clients and pleaded for help, nobody did a thing, except for one guy who helped her escaped…and then imprisoned her in a hotel bedroom for like two months. A lot of other stuff happened, in the end it took a few years for her to escape the situation. She's doing much better now. She gave a ted talk fairly recently about her experience. She got clean and lives a regular life. She is about 29/30 years old now.

Not acquainted anymore with them to know or care. Then again it's been almost 11 years since I graduated high school.

For the most part you can't tell if someone has BPD unless you're close to them. They often present as completely normal, well adjusted individuals on a day to day basis. But at their core they are terrified of abandonment so if you become someone who is important to them, especially a good friend or romantic partner, they will misconstrue every minor, inoffensive thing you do as an attack/perceived abandonment and will cut you off or hurt you before you can do any further damage to their non-existent self esteem. Then you (being a normal person) will reassure them that you didn't mean anything negative, and they will take you back, and the cycle will keep continuing until they either get help to better regulate their emotions (they never learned how growing up) or you can't deal with the tantrums anymore and leave.

Calling someone a BPD-chan has become trendy here for whatever reason, probably because BPD meltdowns can be absolutely astounding in terms of drama, intensity and willful ignorance. Around here that's just typical sperging, but apparently BPD has become shorthand for being a manipulative drama queen emotional vampire.

They don't 'purge' in the traditional sense, what's likely is that they have a spit out bucket off camera or slightly below the table so they're just chewing food and spitting most of it out between cuts.

Not exclusive to mukbangs either. Some thin women who star in food and cooking shows have been said to do the same thing in order to keep the appeal of them being able to eat greasey and hearty meals while keeping their figure.
It was rumor for years that Giada spat out her food but her rep recently confirmed it. The rep tried to save some face by saying that she only spits out the close-up shots due to how many takes they need to film, but we all can infer the truth lmao.

This is such a bizzare thing. It's so weird to think about. Why are mukbangs even a thing? It's self harm on camera. Even seeing the huge amount of food in the thumbnail made me nauseous.

What I find even more fascinating is that no one bats an eye at clearly obese people with a platform, who just as much have an eating disorder as Eugenia. But a woman with anorexia needs to be de-platformed because 'promoting' anorexia is a problem, even though morbid obesity is a far, far larger and widespread problem than anorexia is. It's like we're collectively choosing to focus on one minor problem so we can blisfully ignore the reality that most people are too fat for good health.

I honestly think boys are indoctrinated by other boys/men and their hatred for women is a side effect of being held to the supposed ideal of toxic masculinity. If you're a pretty, slender, artistic looking boy then you're likely going to get bullied and made fun of for being too soft and "feminine." They get a chip on their shoulder thinking that no woman would give them a chance. If they ever get rejected even in a kind way that's only going to confirm that everything they've been told growing up was correct, and double down on the self hatred so that they view themselves as undesirable and unlovable. Women become the scapegoat even though they've had little to no real interaction with the opposite sex. Typical that we get blamed for the damage other men have caused.

Can confirm. My boyfriend has a nice mix of softer and traditionally masculine traits, yet he had no self confidence when we met. It was not due to women constantly berating him or turning him down, it was because other boys teased him for being "girly" which simply meant he wasn't a gross neanderthal. He ended up vastly overcompensating by trying to play the tough guy, abstaining from anything cute and creative (even though he's actually a sensitive person) and basically becoming this caricature of a meathead, personality-wise. Thankfully he never went full incel mode and I was able to call him out on bullshit and undo some of the brainwashing, but even after years of being together he still sometimes struggles with self confidence. Like >>671935 said, it doesn't even matter if their views are being directly contradicted by women. The core issue is that they're actually looking for acceptance from other men, and while the incel community is just a depressing echo chamber, they feel accepted and more self assured there.

This is something I've always noticed when it comes to incels. They're absolutely obsessed with being bitter, pessimistic assholes. Whenever people compliment them or try to give them suggestions on how to improve their lives, they shut it down and say it's impossible or that they must be bullshitting them. They insist every girl wants to be with a 6'5" white huge dicked Chad even when girls clearly say that they don't. And they constantly tear each other down. I've seen some actually decent looking guys post themselves on incel forums before and incels always tell them it's over and they should kill themselves, probably trying to eliminate competition lmao.

Consider that people don't know you and don't have the full picture. Consider that if someone's mean to you that they're going through their own unique issues that you don't even know about which could be influencing them to act a way.

Some disagree with my philosophy: Everything someone else says or does, and how you feel about it and react to it, is predestined by factors that are outside your control and conscious thought. There is literally no point in internalizing it beyond a reasonable consideration because life is organized fucking absurdity and no one knows what the fuck is going on.

I consider myself pretty thick skinned these days but even now there are moments where I find myself getting too invested in some rando's comment. Know that it's totally normal and don't be too hard on yourself. We all feel the same emotions, but it's how you observe/handle them after the initial rush that determines whether something will stay with you or not.

I'd say a combination of developing better self confidence and reading about Stoicism helped. When you fully understand that other people's opinions are products of their own fears, uncertainties and neuroses rather than having anything to do with you as a person, it becomes easier to dismiss things that don't serve you rather than wasting valuable energy. I recommend Aurelius' Meditations if you're open to reading, still very relevant today: http://classics.mit.edu/Antoninus/meditations.2.two.html

Thing is, none of this worked. The only things that happened were 1. I felt shit and 2. I gave people power over me. Being thin skinned will only hold you back and allow people to hurt you. Of course some criticism is valid, but probably not some anon nitpicking you. Actually this is a great place to learn to be thick-skinned because it’s so impersonal.

Film is such a broad topic that it will help to narrow down where you want to start. It's kind of like saying you want to get into history… so do you want to know about the Allies' role during WW2? What is was like during the Heian period of Japan? Post-republic Rome? Take a look at the major film styles (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Film_styles) and you'll get recommendations for movies that were innovative for their time and influenced others. You can also just search "influential filmmakers" in themselves. Oh, and the Criterion Collection is all about presenting films that are considered some of the most important and creative, so going through their stuff is a safe bet.

Arthouse films are great too, they get a bad rap as being pretentious without any real depth but often the filmmakers do have a clear vision and want the audience to think about the topics they're presenting and come to their own conclusions. Similar to a good book, really. If a film seems weird or confusing feel free to look up film analysis and see what other people have taken away from it. Getting to toss about different ideas and interpretations is part of the fun and can lead to great discussions.

China is a totalitarian state that literally sends fishing ships to fucking Chile to steal their fish. They don't care about their citizens' well-being, about other countries' sovereignty, nothing.

Anons I've never lived with roommates outside of dorming, when it comes to stuff like utensils does everyone buy their own shit? I was looking to move into an apartment with 2 other people, it's not furnished. Do we share shit like groceries too?

It's not weird to ask them how they want to split things and what they want to share, I promise! It's better to get the rules down first about this and how you want to tackle chores.

Totally depends on the group. I’ve had apartments where we share all kitchen tools and ones where we keep them all in our own cupboards. Large things that are I confident to have multiple of (mop, ironing board, toaster) are usually shared. My apartments have always been separate when it comes to food but I know some particularly close-knit apartments might share.

Long story - I ran over a rabbit, stopped my car, got out, found out I only ran over it's hind leg and quickly brought it to the vet. Unfortunately the rabbit did not make it but as I was holding the rabbit a spot of it's blood got on my foot and caused a red bump which is now a small ulcer. I am having weird bruising in that leg as well as random bumps all over me

Can confirm, my parents have a 30 year gap and the most dysfunctional relationship ever.

I think most men that seek younger women are narcissistic man-children in denial about their aging and seeking someone dumber that makes them feel powerful and special and the women that seek older men are afraid of taking control over their lives and want an excuse to remain acting like retarded teens dependent on adults instead of growing in their own person.

Both are shitty, but the one that has more power, experience, and money, is definitely the older partner.

Also, all children of age gap couples I know, me included lol, are messed up and need therapy.

>what do you get out of a relationship like that
Attention and validation I never got as a kid I guess. It's childish and dumb, I know. And you know what? I think I would be perfectly fine with a father-like relationship with an older male without any romantic or sexual component to it, but the problem is, I think men are not capable of such relationship with younger women. I'm always envious of guys my age who have father/mentor-like relationships with strange men, it's also a common trope in movies. Young women who didn't have fathers can't get that, usually. I didn't have any adult worthy of trust and I developed reactive attachment disorder because of it, and I was always looking for parental figures in both women and men. There was only one such "relationship" with a man, and he betrayed my trust. I had a teacher in highschool, he was like 50, he liked me, we would talk a lot about literature, movies and politics and everything else and he would give me his time after school, even invited me for a coffee, and I was naive enough to believe he sees me like a daughter, I never felt so validated and noticed in my life. Without getting into more details, turned out he thought I had "feelings" for him, and when I said that's not the case but I still want to see him and stay friends, he stopped talking to me. I probably never cried like this because of someone (except my mother and step father). I feel like a womanchild, I feel too old for my peers and I can't stop thinking about older men (also I'm still a virgin, too autistic to get anywhere further than awkward attempts at flirting). I also have this paranoid fear that a younger dude would sooner or later cheat on me with someone younger than me, I read so many stories about scrotes having midlife crisis. I feel that with a man who's already 20 years older than me the risk of cheating would be smaller.

I know we're in the wrong and anons are gonna correct us, but I relate to you. I feel like guys my age (young guys) are really annoying and immature even now. The idea of an older man in comparison is so much better to me. But truth be told it would be unhealthy and he'd probably be taking advantage of me. Also, being older doesn't guarantee he's not immature and emotionally stunted in his own way kek
I'm sorry about what happened with your teacher. That's not okay. I never experienced that but some of my high teachers were the type of guy I'd like to marry. I guess the unhealthy part is wanting to rush to a guy that age. No, I can find a guy my own age who will grow like that, or wait till I'm older myself I guess lmao idk

My bf is 10 years older than I am, and I think it’d be hard for me to date someone my age again as well, though being 27, I could easily go for a 30 year old and still feel confident that he may be mature by then. Although knowing other 30yo men concerns me kek. Hopefully you can find someone either your own age or much closer that you can grow with instead of waiting to grow for you. I really do thing relationships of similar ages are far more healthy, if not less risky at least.

50/50. Men are unpredictable. It's hard to figure out which are stories and which are faked because men are simply that fucking weird and creepy.

It's possible, but I also think some anons really do have as terrible relationships as they say.

Academic anons, how long does it take you to write 1000 words for a research essay? I'm an unmedicated adhdfag and it takes me about 10 hrs

No. 673056

>>673046
Like 10 hours total, or do those 10 hours include the breaks you take? Because latter is fairly normal; former, you may just be overthinking/overworking yourself.

Personally it takes me one evening, maybe 2-3 hours, which includes the long pauses I take where I stare at the screen or look at my notes/references or look up a youtube vid for distraction. Honestly, there's no reason to be ashamed of how long you take unless you're pretty blatantly missing a deadline. If an instructor gives you a month to work on 1000 words, it's okay if it takes you all 30 days to write them.

Would it be inappropriate to point out to my roommate/friend that I think she has a benzo dependency problem? I notice that the last few months she’s been taking her prescription every day “because the bottle says take as needed!”. Recently she’s been complaining of having insomnia and i’ve also noticed that her memory has gotten a lot worse. I don’t know if i’m just over sensitive to this because my mom was a massive pill head all my life and if i’m just projecting these things onto my roommate. I have seen first hand multiple people get completely fucked by Benzos but I also don’t think my roommate would see it that way because she’s very trusting of doctors.

Hello I hope this is not gonna ban me when I ask this because medfagging is not allowed but Idk where else to ask this when I already did everywhere.
Is it possible to have pseudo hearing loss due to severe mental issues?

I ask this because there are days where I hear perfectly 100% ok and those are the times I forget about my hearing aids/handicap (think: someone rings the door bell while I’m asleep in a room that’s a floor up and I open the door and hold conversations with them versus the usual routine I have planned and it’s always scheduled with 24/7 self pitying where I tell myself things adults/caregivers told me. (That I’m retarded, deaf, handicapped etc…)

Another example: I told my mom that I cannot speak or understand english because I’m deaf and I said this while watching a show and when I wanted to switch to a new episode I forgot to turn on the subtitles and I only realized near the end that I understood the entire convos they had in the episode LMFAO.

My mom and other good people in my environment keeps telling me that I’m probably not so deaf as the people that ruined my life by placing me in asylums instead of schools claim that I am and I always doubted her and them. Idk. Your take? Not possible at all to larp as deaf unconsciously or…is manipulation a bitch?

Start entertaining the idea that you are more valuable than the way you’re treated. Brainwash yourself, read loads of #bossbabe affirmations. Depending on your situation, might be worth educating yourself about narcs or emotional abuse if applicable.

I did all this for a long time and still didn’t stop being a doormat until eventually I snapped, so idk how possible it is to force it. Oh, also keep score. I gave people free passes until I started writing down all the shit they did and seeing it all in one place like that made me so mad that I started standing up for myself.

No. 673244

>>673238
Standing up for yourself doesn't make you a narc. You are only a narc if you give people nothing in return when they show you kindness. You are not obligated to be kind to anyone who isn't kind to you past the bare minimum, and if someone is actively denigrating you and ruining your self-esteem you have the full right to fight back and return the favour.

Being selfless with people who are anything but will never make them love you or treat you with respect, remember that.

I wonder this too. My mother has massive narcissist traits but once when she asked me to attend the only therapy session post-third-divorce that I've ever known her to have, she described herself as a "people pleaser" and legitimately believed that her only flaw as a human was being too generous. To her ex husband (who was a typical toxic male), maybe. Yet to me and other people that she looked down on (mostly other women), we were shit who only deserved her bare minimum if that. She kept scores constantly while bemoaning when someone else did. She would expect grand gestures in return and unending appreciation for menial and low effort things she did, and would make it known either through verbal tirades or body language how disappointed she was if what was reciprocated failed to measure up. I can't tell you how many times I was called an ungrateful brat after cascading her with thank yous, or having basic shit she did as a parent held over my head as emotional blackmail.

The thing is my mom is a total doormat for the right people: Her parents when they were alive, her brothers, and mostly other men but sometimes women who she sees as successful and able to bolster her image. I think this stems from her childhood of feeling the need to puppet performative, servile behaviors and being raised around misogynistic attitudes when she was young. Be that as it may, I do think it's possible for doormats to internalize toxic behaviors and may subconsciously act them out as revenge later in life when they find some status to do better.
But I doubt people with honest introspection and a desire to develop healthy boundaries would go down that road.

No. 673407

the new movie was actually pretty good–his commentary isn't necessarily meant to be from an offensive standpoint (mainly because he is at least acting/faking it). for example, in the newest movie he goes and quarantines with two random hardcore trump stans and some of the things that they say are shocking but coming right from their mouths, no fake lines or anything. it's kind of like he purposely does slightly offensive things as an act in order for certain people to show their true colors.

This is gonna sound weird AF and I apologize for it, but… Do any of you know some kind of a video game that from a certain POV can be appealing to a child grooming creep in the same way as Leon the Professional? Best if it was released up to 2010.
The only example that comes to my mind is Rule of Rose, but this game DOES NOT deserve being written about in such a context. Especially since it was already slandered as 'cHilD pOrN' in Italy even though it's anything but. There is also Clock Tower, but it also doesn't fit what I have in mind…
The other example is so fucked up and NSFW that I could not refer to it in my story cause I don't want more people to play it. I am afraid even if the title wasn't mentioned, someone would figure it out.

These are the ones that piss me off. Been there and it feels like they view you with the same predation as any man. No I, a lesbian, will not fuck your bf or have sex with you while your bf jerks it next to us. It is not okay to ask a lesbian to do that.

I also know alot of 'bi women' who just have never done a thing with a woman. At first it was like okay you're young and at some point you probably will. My friend group are all in their 30s now and it's amazing how many bi women make it to this age without kissing a woman.. lol. Not mad but I'm kinda waiting for the day they drop the act.

Ok, because bi women also sleep with men and penetrative sex with men can increase chances of STDs vs a lesbian that has lower risks of STDs across sexually active groups. So even a bi woman that weren't promiscuous would potentially be exposed to something that could be spread to a lesbian partner, because the scrote was fucking around.

Is it possible to become a good dancer if you're not naturally talented at it and haven't been doing it from a young age?
Also, what exactly makes a good dancer? I can tell when someone's really bad at it, but I can't really tell when someone's good.

Depends on what kind of dance.

As you say, talent is partly subjective but you can typically tell apart newbies from trained dancers by looking at how seamless their movements are.

You can play a piece perfectly and that will make you good, but it’s your own interpretation of the song and the unique flourishes you put on it that make you stand out.

When your hair is just lying flat, pull from around the middle of your ears and make sure it's loosely tied so it hangs over them like pic rel.

I understand the writer who is a male is trying to convey that the male came inside the female because she tightened her vagina and tight vaginas make penis go woowoo but it reads like shit sex and rape especially when you read the next paragraph and they were both in a state of dress like the male in the passage really did just insert himself on the female who describes it as painful

Does anyone else get a weird feeling of displacement or like everything is wrong despite everything being "fine"??
For example, I often feel like most of the people I know are lying to me about how they feel about me or hiding something from me. Even family, partners and friends. Sometimes it feels like everyone knows something I don't. Like they're strangers (as in, have a side about them you don't know) or hiding evil motives.

I do, but not in a magical sense. When I was deeply depressed, everything sucked and other miserable people were drawn to me. When I started attempting to look on the bright side, I was able to appreciate the good things I had and less likely to continue putting up with "energy vampires." That made space for better people and opportunities to come into my life. It works because sad people tend to be pessimists and dismiss potential positives before they even give them a chance. Happy people tend to be optimists and look for more happy things even in objectively tough situations.

Mental illness and fucked up brain chemistry that causes it. None of which can be perceived by you.
It's not your bussiness to judge if someone has the 'right' (wtf) to be depressed or not. You can never know what's going on in another person's head and what they've been through. The example of your work colleague should have taught you that, and yet you are back to square one.

Depends on what you want to do with you watch, do you want it for sports or physically intense hobbies (like gardening)? Go with a silicone band, it's easier to clean, and leather is very sensitive and can degrade easily because of acidity of the sweat (especially if the leather is not super high quality). If you want a watch to wear casually at work or for special occasions, leather is good, careful not to dip it in water, it can be ruined instantly. I recommend metal bands as well, I think they look classier and are generally more durable than the other two (and they are made of stainless steel, you can safely go into the water).

What are the best tips for doing laundry? My mother would always do the laundry in such a way, that all of my clothes shrunk, lost their soft texture and bright colors. Nearly all of my white items of clothing became grey after the first two washes, and many sweaters started to feel like hardened paper maché, as opposed to soft wool or cotton. I know it isn't the clothes, because in my stays at the houses of others, my laundry was perfectly lovely afterwards. What I could learn from them I did, but it was not enough apparently… Because of this, I never learned a different way of doing the laundry, and I was wondering if any farmers could offer advice on how to properly do the laundry, or little things I can add to the routine/change?

Agree with >>674438 that Russians do this shit too. It seems to be a big country thing, maybe that explains some of the self importance?

That's not it, it's more that they can't understand that people can't understand portuguese.

No and I wasn't saying that, the only thing is if you directly call him out you likely will upset the gf and become the the bad guy. That's why in those situations I usually say "I'm just not a touchy person in general" I generalise so their bf can't get butthurt or say I'm accusing him of anything.

I agree with this 110% and I cannot STRESS how much I wouldn't confront the girlfriend with absolutely anything. Just dip out and that's it.

I was in a situation a couple years ago where a guy I knew (sort of had a history with but nothing serious) went to a festival at the same time I was there. He had a long term serious girlfriend at the time and he tried to hook up with me while we were there and she was back home. I of course turned him down, and when I returned home I went through the trouble of messaging her, getting her number, and calling her to tell her what he tried to do just so she knew. Of course she viewed him with rose tinted glasses and didn't dump him or anything, she kinda resented me after that. He ended up cheating on her for real with someone else not long after and they broke up.

That sounds very old-fashioned but I guess that still happens, I'd hate to wait around for someone to ask me.
Imo it usually happens when a couple is spending so much time together that they may as well live in the same place, or when they are in a serious relationship but don't see each other enough because of work or LDR so they do it so they can at least see each other when they come home. Also common is when one of them is looking for a place anyway and the other half just says "why don't you just move in with me?", which can work out but is also why so many broke people end up trapped living with bad partners.

Imo people should live with friends before they live with a partner so they learn what's normal

Tbh I think you should provide a photo cause it's hard to visualize what your issue is. But if your problem is what I'm imagining, then those staining lip balms and lipsticks might help.

I say this sincerely with love and care, try to identify what makes you uncomfortable with each respective kind of company and work on it. Don't like people because they're shallow? Judgemental? You fear rejection? Give them a chance to prove you wrong, you have nothing to lose.
Easier said than done, I'm in the process of trying to do this and it's uncomfortable but people can and will surprise you. Same with your own company.

I feel entitled to pass gas freely and unmolested in my own home. I work hard not pooting in public and at the end of the day if I come home to unwind and maybe break a little wind that's my god-given right, the last thing I want is to always be looking over my shoulder to make sure nothing is stalking my bunghole.

Girls this is so stupid but please listen. There is this girl in my class who I find drop dead gorgeous and I can’t stop staring at her. It’s not even the cute oh I find myself unconsciously drawn to her stare, it’s a full on creepy stalker joe from you vibe.

I don’t know, I don’t want to skinwalk her, I don’t want to have sex with her, heck I don’t even want to be friends with her, I just want to stare at her beautiful face all day, everyday. Is it a normal heterosexual behavior? or am I gay as fuck but just in denial?

That is true, I've never had any close friendships with people, I do okay in groups but it's much harder in one-on-one conversations. It's okay if I'm talking to someone in a casual way with no intention of closeness, I ask them about themselves and from then on we can talk about anything that clicks with me too while the focus is mostly on them. But I imagine, in close friendships people talk about their problems and feelings? I have never done that with anyone because I've never gotten intimate enough but I would like to. I just have a dumbass need to be listened to. This shit hard to navigate

No. 675806

No one is born with a fashion sense, or course it can be acquired by copying your mom/sisters/older women or just by having an early interest in it. Of course a good eye for aesthetics doesn't hurt, but it can always be learned, and most importantly, is very easy to copy.

I'm constantly picking up new things, one week I want to draw semi realistic pretty girls, the next I want to have a dynamic cartoonish style, next week I want to do whimsical pixelart, next I want to learn how to create comics.

coming late to this but i read that it is because cats are associated with the feminine, so many men who grow up to assault women start with cats first.
i think cats are more common in terms of the sadism-for-sadism's-sake type of animal abuse, but dogs are more commonly abused because of widespread things like dog-fighting. they'll use puppies and weaker dogs as "bait dogs". that's a real problem in the UK, at least where i am.

if you have issues with oversleeping and chronic fatigue, practicing good sleep hygiene (as anon above said - no TV, phone, eating in bed. reserve it for sleep and try not to sit or lay there too much outside of that so you begin to subconsciously associate it with sleep. try to keep clothes and clutter off of your bed if you can, too). if you do have fatigue, a lot of that can be caused by certain deficiencies (anemia, vitamin D, etc) which can be tested for and treated through diet changes (more foods with those nutrients) or supplements. this isn't always the case, but frequently enough that it might be worth looking into
in terms of getting and staying out of bed, setting a loud alarm and leaving it somewhere out of reach can really help. there are apps where your alarm will go off and you have to get out of bed and take a photo or do a puzzle before it will turn off. i used one where i set it so that i had to take a picture of my bathroom to shut it off. this ensured that i'd get my exhausted ass out of bed, go to the bathroom to end the alarm, and then while i was in there it was really easy to wash my face and brush my teeth which helped me feel more awake, too.
if that's too much work for you, leaving it on a dresser or in your closet can help. get out of bed when it goes off, turn on the lights or open the curtains, turn it off and do some stretches or move around a little. getting your body moving really helps to wake up, but it doesn't have to be a set routine or tons of effort. just whatever gets you going in the mornings
you can prep some iced coffee or lattes or tea in jars in the fridge on weekends, or a big batch of oatmeal or whatever. if you have an automatic coffee maker, you can put the coffee and water in the filter and tank the night before so you only have to press the button in the morning. then you've got something to help wake you up and get some food down with minimal effort after you've gotten out of bed and woken up for the day
it might sound like a lot on paper, but they're just a few suggestions if you're having a hard time finding what works best for you. you don't have to try them all, or any of them. good luck!

thank you anon this is so so kind and helpful, many good points to try. I think I know an app called alarmy my friend used that I better get, it has those features you mentioned. If anyone else has this issue let's both try the app.
You're right about sleep, worst but most crucial part is maintaining a routine. It's hard because I hate having to go to bed at the same time that is relatively early for me (and others), like sometimes you want to stay up or do something in the moment. But it takes discipline then I can do those things the next day maybe. I feel so awake at the evening and night, when it gets dark, that's when I want to do things. Partly because with everything winding down it feels more "free" to do what I want. Ugh but anyway I am going to implement what you said, and the other anon's advice. No mercy for myself lol (in terms of sticking to it, but I will drink some hot cocoa) otherwise I know I'll lapse.
I really am tired 24/7 but lifestyle is probably part, I'll get those levels checked again as it has been a while and I did have deficiencies. Thank you so much for these thoughts and glad you seem to have had success with it yourself

Honestly, my best pieces are from thrift stores or vintage shops, mostly because they've already stood the test of time. I have great quality jeans, skirts, linen pants, sweaters, blouses, things like that with older/vintage tags. The newer/trendy stuff is usually already tattered by the time it's at Goodwill kek, but it's a fun way to get trendy things too.
But! If you don't have time for that, which is understandable, my sweaters from American Eagle have held up well, they have comfy, pretty decent jeans, I love the cross-front chill leggings they have rn (most flattering thing ever). Madewell has cute, well made stuff, but it be spendy. Hope this helps, good luck!

It happens to me too at the same frequency as yours.

>deep fear associated with someone
>very vivid dreamlike memories associated with that person. Though I don't remember it as well as I did as a kid.
>The memories aren't recently recovered, they have always been there. I was never sure if they really happened or not.
>brother told me that the guy was also a creepy dude.
>My mom told me he wasn't nice and that his family went through a lot. My godparents may have brought me around his family when they babysat me.

other things that make me doubt it
>would have to had to happen between the ages of 4 and 5. I feel like at that age I would be able to be sure it happened.
>mom told me that I would have told her at that age.
>have similar memories associated with a cousin. He is now married with kids. I am sure he didn't do anything.
>could be a dream induced by the fucked up horror movies my parents let me watch as a kid
>my home life was generally horrible, domestic violence was very bad. I would sometimes sleep with my mom and my dad would come home drunk and hit my mom with me in between them. I wonder if I processed this in weird dreams.

Why would it be a meme? I have your issue as well. I have to spend hours on math equations sometimes. I always end up having to repeat the problem out on paper multiple times.

Ex: equation would be 7(5x+8) + 6x+9
I'd write the 8 of as a 7 and repeat the 6x twice, so I adjusted to constantly having to repeat my equations. I was granted extra time in HS and MS. But no one understood how I was so good with other subjects but tripped up on math. It's kinda fucked up but I ended up having to teach myself how to read numbers and repeat my equations over and over because I did not understand something was wrong.

If she loves him so much, why doesn’t she accept his faith and use it as a tool to help him? I get that it can be annoying dating someone with different beliefs but wouldn’t she rather put up with his god-bothering than see him suffer and potentially lose the relationship?

If she insists on staying, she might as well make a decent effort to help.

I agree with this, but she is very, very stubborn. I'll float this idea to her again since. Ya know, recent events have transpired, and he hasn't tried AA yet. To be fair, though, she has put SO much effort into helping him and being supportive, etc. It's not like she's said he's not allowed to do AA, she's just expressed it's not her favorite method/something she thinks works, and I guess he used that as an excuse not to go–after all, it's still on him to decide to go.

yeah dating apps are the fucking worst, not to mention they're quite dangerous which a lot of girls seem to forget about. as for meeting guys… i wouldn't recommend dating anyone in your workplace cause it can get old pretty fast and it's gonna be awkward as shit if you break up. are you in uni right now? or attending any kind of places related to your hobbies, like the gym or idk a bookclub? also, bars (chill bars, not actual clubs or smth like that - although i do know some couples who got to know e/o that way) are good for meeting new people as well and you get to have fun. other than that, idek where to find guys to be honest kek most of my bfs were either from my uni or came up to me in a random place or bar.

Why is it that I'm not breaking out on my chin, but now am breaking out on my cheeks? I never, ever had pustules/cysts on my cheeks, other than this September to now and very rare, small whiteheads that would go away with a little help from bp. I however always had varying degrees of acne on my chin…. but not anymore, or at least not this month. I make sure to sleep on my back, use my mic earphone to take calls or tilt the phone away from my cheeks, and avoid touching my cheeks. I'm using epiduo and taking antibiotics if that makes a difference. My skincare routine hasn't changed much since September, either, except I added more moisture and stopped washing my face in the morning with my cleanser.

You might still be young enough for spinal fusion surgery (in some places surgeries are even done on older adults with severe cases). If not it’s still best to have a diagnosis, yeah they’ll probably just give you painkillers but that’s helpful if you’re in pain or it becomes painful. Best to have the option imo and make your doctor aware rather than suffer more and regret it.

Iirc, puberty is not considered over until you're 22, you can still grow up, not dramatically like a teenager, but you can still gain 1 or 2 cms. I'd say you should go see a doctor and get a diagnosis asap, you're in for a lot of pain if you let it simmer.

Looking for advice pls. I'm sick as hell with a cold rn, I got tested and I'm covid negative so that's a relief. But the thing is, I have a dinner party at a restaurant on the weekend (I'm not American, my country has low cases and it's allowed) and I'm not sure if it's a dick move to go.

I'm very obviously, visibly, audibly sick and I feel like I'll get judged and bother people around me. But mostly I just don't want to give anyone my cold, even if it's not covid it's really unpleasant and inconvenient to get tested and isolate after. I reaaally wanna go though, it's for my sister's engagement so I should be there. Would it be shitty to go or is it ok as long as I'm following all the hygiene and social distancing rules?

To add to what other anons said, the test is only 70% accurate so you might actually have it. In hospital settings (at least in my country) tests are conducted 3 times as one is unreliable. Obviously with the general public who have mild cases it’s not as necessary to be certain, though here you need to isolate if you’re ill even when tested negative (I’m surprised your country does not have this rule). Sorry to sperg but it does shock me how some places are handling this.

Also it’s possible the restaurant will ask you to leave despite the result, because they don’t want to be associated with that shit.

I mean my kneejerk answer is to show him the results from botched surgeries. But I'd say a kinder way is to assure him he has all his life to get that surgery; there's no need to be in a hurry for it. He should take a long, long time to think about it

No. 677426

>>677401
If he doesn't feel dysphoric around his penis, why does he feel the need to cut it off? Like, according to their logic, having a vagina is not what makes a woman, so. Idk, tell him that his experience being trans is valid as is and that he doesn't have to conform or feel pressured to experience his transness in the same way that others do. That there are lots of risks, complications, and expenses that come with surgery, and like >>677413 said, there's no need to be in a hurry for it. If he's a woman for life, then he always will be, and the option to have surgery will be there later if he still feels that strongly. God. Good luck anon, that sucks.

Is suicide by carbon monoxide poisoning really painless? I've been looking into mixing sulphuric and formic acid as they're relatively easy and cheap to come by. The entire exit kit would not even be expensive and it's all perfectly legal. I was hoping if we have anons that study chemistry and could give an answer. I don't want it to be another myth.

Is training while doing other stuff even possible? Is it effective? Like pic related, just lifting while reading something and such, I tend to get distracted even while working out so looking at characters do random stuff while working out sometimes makes wonder if that’s even possible and useful.

Idk about reading, I'd lose count of reps and the posture of the neck and arms while holding the books would porbably effect your body negativetly in the long run. Maybe listen to audiobooks?

No, it's not. I don't study chemistry, but I had carbon monoxide poisoning when my fireplace wasn't installed properly. After about an hour in the house I felt like I had the flu and kinda like I was on the waltzers at the fair while having the shit kicked out of my body. I thought I was having a heart attack and faceplanted in A&E because I was twitchy and dizzy, then I threw up on myself. Sorry for the blogpost but absolutely do not recommend putting yourself through that. Honestly you feel like a hungover chimp that's just done ten rounds in a boxing ring. Even if you manage not to puke from the spinning, your stomach feels like it's fallen out of your body and your heart feels like it's mad at you.

Why do you wanna die, anon? We all peace out eventually anyway, might as well live your life as best you can while you've got it. We're gonna spend centuries dead, but only get a few decades alive if we're lucky. Isn't there something else that can help you?

I usually watch youtube videos or episodes of a series I'm watching while working out (usually subtitled). I'd say getting distracted actual works more for me than just counting sets or looking at a timer. Of course this is for light workout, if you're doing something with a risk of injury, I'd focus all my attention to that.

Is it weird I'm desperate to not move back home? I feel like maybe I'm putting too much up to chance.

Two months after moving somewhere new for a job, I was fired. (Over raising COVID concerns) I already bought a return ticket to visit home for the holidays and my parents would be fine with me staying home instead.

However, I don't feel ready to move back yet. I was living at home before COVID and there was nothing to do. I also feel like I was straining my relationship with my parents by being a NEET.

I think I'm going to stay here and try to find another position. The only problem is that my current housing is tied to my job I was fired from and I'm not sure if I can stay if they found out I was fired. I'm just hoping no one notices for the next couple of months but I'm not sure what I would do if I had to move. I guess I found a guy who seems pretty into me but I feel like that is putting things way too much into fate and is such a bad idea lol.

I was homeless at one stage and didn't tell my dad. He's not abusive but he's always been very clear that he doesn't think adults belong living with parents. At the same time he says he's there if there's ever an emergency. It's too uncomfortable though, to me it's too linked to feeling like a woman-child

I wear glasses when I'm reading and looking at screens and stuff and I have a small amount of nearsightedness and a little bit of astigmatism. (I have never used these terms in english before so no idea if I worded this correctly) My glasses are crooked sometimes because one of my ears is a bit lower. Is this a big problem? Should I get it fixed asap or just whenever

No. 678565

>>678560
I think I have the same problems as you. If you really have a small amount astigmatism I don't think it matters; I don't even look through my glasses half the time ( I look above them) and I don't even notice and my eyesight has not gotten any worse after a year, I don't think you should worry about doing it as soon as you can.

I think even if you wear a corset your body will just revert back once you take it off, unless you're like this german woman who wore a corset literally all day every day. It's seriously not worth it, I also have a big ribcage but why would you literally wreck your body and suffer just to have a trait some other people have?

No. 678572

>>678568
This is not what you want to hear but it’s better to work on your head than your ribs because you’ll likely never be happy. I’m guessing your already thin as you’re thinking about this, so you don’t have the option of weight loss without going ana-chan.

If you’re insistent on it, you need to be aware that effects will be very gradual and there are limits. Do a lot of research. You need to get a custom-made corset, a generic one either won’t work well or might fuck you up. Personally I think this isn’t a good idea if you’re already concerned about body dysmorphia, but if your heart is set on it then at least do it as safely as possible and be realistic about your expectations.

We are probably going to get a shitton of this type of questions in the following weeks, so sorry in advance, but I need advice for a Christmas gift. I really don't know what to give to my sister, I don't really get along with her (and she still owes me money from last Christmas) and I don't like her boyfriend, but I still want to gift them something practical for their household. She loves baking and they both work with gemstones, any idea? I also don't like buying on the internet (I prefer supporting physical shops), especially not on Amazon, so I'd prefer avoiding gifts too specific.

I wear corsets and tbh I think the soft tissue is what's actually affected, not the bones, and so it's only semi-permanent. Your shape goes back to what it was after a while if you stop.

She's not toxic or anything, it's just that our personalities are completely different and don't match, we don't even live together anymore, and I don't like her boyfriend because he is a boring normie but otherwise he is perfectly harmless. It's only 30€ from a shared gift, I tend to forget to remind people to give me money back, so maybe it's on me, but she's made zero effort to refund me either. I mostly want to get them something because my mom is probably going to pester me and accuse me of making zero effort. I'll probably get a cake mold or something simple like that.

Why dont these decrepit politicians just retire? They all have had enough money for the last half century to just retire and spend the rest of their lives relaxing on beaches getting handjobs and eating steak and being nasty and lazy but instead they want to flail about at press conferences and keep their cryptkeeper ass faces in the media. Its not a democrat/republican thing either, its both sides.
