>>711895Tape drives. Unironically.
Actually answering your question, hard drives can be configured to work in a RAID array. You have multiple hard drives that work together to store the same data. If one drive dies, you can swap it out with a new one with no data loss. If you're willing to spend the money, look into picking up a low end NAS (Synology is great for this) with like 4 WD Red HDDs and you're pretty much set for life. And even if a drive fails, you can just swap it out.

That, and the fact it’s more common to see them done online where the instahoe drag make up look is standard. I’d say most women who wear make up don’t do their brows (though it’s more popular with younger women).
Also if they are judging you, it’s because you’re not wearing make up at all rather than specifically the brows.

I'm about to sound really stupid, but here goes: I've been growing oyster mushrooms and needed a new spray bottle for watering them, so I took a bottle of recently depleted perfumed insect repellent, washed it out as thoroughly as I could, and filled it with water. I thought I'd cleaned the pump well enough, but when I sprayed my mushrooms once (stupid not to test before, I know), I could still smell some residual fragrance. Ofc I didn't continue with that spray bottle after that. My question is, will this badly affect the mushrooms in any way? Whether that be in growth, taste, or even edibility? If it helps, the ingredients of the repellent were alcohol, Ethyl butylacetylaminopropionate, Hexyl cinnamaldehyde, citronella, d-limonene, geraniol. Please help this first time mushroom grower out.

That sounds like a healthy reaction, it seems similar to my reactions when I see a silverfish or that one time I crushed a massive roach when closing a door behind me (like the sound of the crunch alerted me, I want to say the size of my thumb?). But I don't think they'll invade me in some way. It's just a bit gross they're there.
Also I guess I took a very northern european view of things, the only spider the size of my palm where I live is the giant house spider, which isn't venomous (but those horny males wander houses looking for a female around autumn, so you're likely to encounter them). I guess it's another thing completely if they actually might cause you harm.

These people define sexual attraction as, and I quote "looking at someone and thinking, in these words "I want to have sex with them". Which is something no one actually thinks. By that logic, celibates and people with low self esteem are automatically asexual.
I feel like "asexual" now just means "I have a female sex drive because I am female and not Male"

Is being sexually attracted to women enough to make someone bi? I know I sound stupid as fuck but please bear with me. I used to think I was a lesbian (read: hope, because ew men icky), realized I did like men, called myself bi for a bit, then dropped the label because I really can't see myself being in a relationship with another woman.
The reason I thought I was a lesbian at all was because I was never strongly attracted to men physically; I find my bf attractive because I love him, for example. I can't name any male celebrities I think are sexy, but I can certainly point out attractive women.
I probably sound retarded but girls are just so pleasing to look at it, it seems normal to find them sexy. Then I remember that gay men exist and they probably don't see it that way lmao, that way being that women are sexy but just not dating material. Idk, it doesn't really matter in the end, it's just what I've been thinking about lately.

I used to think I liked her romantically as I got very jealous when she got a bf but I could have misinterpreted it, I was weird and confused back then. I did have all the crush signs that made me feel like a creep, like being instantly hostile towards the bf when he was probably a decent guy, liking how she smelled and getting a little dizzy after borrowing her sweater for a day, wanting to hug her all the time, I also had a sexual dream about her once. I feel silly typing this out but idk, I think I could have just been really attached to/protective of her as a friend. When I think about her now I cannot image us dating or anything.

I had a serious, planning college together bf all through high school while being physically attracted to every non straight girl, and lost all interest once the hormones wore off and gave back his ring a week before graduation. I'm actually a femme exclusively attracted to butch dykes and was subconsciously choosing men who looked like ivan coyote lmao.

>>712382Psychfag here. Repressed trauma is a myth. Countless studies have proven that we are
more likely to viscerally remember traumatic events, or really any event that evoked very positive or negative emotions in us. People may have developed techniques for avoiding remembering a traumatic event, but that's more of a coping mechanism, not some kind of function of memory.
If you ask yourself if you've been sexually abused and can't recall any specific instances of such, you either weren't, or there may have been events that perhaps you need to educated yourself about and ask whether or not they may constitute sexual abuse.
At the end of the day, it's really better to seek professional help for these things. People who feel they have been abused, but can't remember specific instances usually have actually been abused, but it was a type of subtle, chronic abuse (ie: neglect) that was normalized because it took place so early in the person's life and continued for a long time. This is the difference between complex trauma and PTSD-type trauma.

I was at my most depressed from 2014-2019 because pretty much all I did was work and live pay check to pay check. I lived in an expensive city that I had little option of leaving. I was also a full-time student on top of working two jobs. I stopped doing my hobbies because I was literally so exhausted that all I could find it within me to do during my downtime was lay in bed and watch Netflix. Was also in an
abusive relationship for some of those years.
Within the past year, I had the opportunity to move somewhere nicer and cheaper, dropped a number of
toxic people and graduated school. Now I have more time to get back into the things I used to really enjoy. I still have pretty bad anxiety unfortunately, but depression is a pretty minor issue for me these days.

I'm from Canada and recently got hired to work for a company in the US. I'm going to be moving there on a work visa (sponsored by my company) and will be living there full-time for the foreseeable future.
I have a boyfriend who has a permanent remote work position for a Canadian company (meaning he can work pretty much anywhere, he's not tied to a specific office). I obviously want him to come with me, but with how things are, it looks like he'll only be able to stay for 6 months at a time and then have come back to Canada for 6 months after his visa expires. While his company has a presence in the US, they said they can't get him a work visa because they don't have any operations in the state I'm moving to (I found that REALLY odd, especially considering that they have an office in the state I'm moving to, which makes things even more confusing).
Have any anons here been in a similar situation before? At this point I'm planning to get my dual citizenship (once eligible) and then marry him so he can live with me permanently. But I'm not sure if I have any other options here. Would appreciate any insight into this! It's very confusing!

Every time medication is discussed, the psychiatrist always struggles to find something I haven’t already tried. I’ve cut off
toxic people, moved away, been successful in academics and my career, done cool things and made good friends. I have a decent life now, but can’t shake off the depression despite my efforts. There are physical differences in the brains of people who suffered severe childhood abuse/neglect, which I think helps to explain why I’m fucked up.

A really nice thing about buddhism it's that there aren't very strict rules, Buddha himself encouraged people to not blindly trust in his word and approach the buddhist path as they need.

this is probably a contested topic but can you delude yourself into liking men (temporarily)? I basically forced myself to look at moid porn that disgusted me so I could feel normal. It's not normal but I had a weird thing "girls watch porn too!!" I wish I never was so stupid as a teen. Anyway, I stopped because 90% disgusted me and half the time I gave up feeling icky. (I did manage enough times with careful selection, so maybe I'm overthinking it.) Fast forward to now, scrolling /g/ and the femdom gifs. I know many anons expressed disgust but even the guys o-facing… they're in pleasure and "hot", that should be attractive right… I jumped out of my skin. Men really are gross to me.
Related, how come I get this urge to impress every man even though I don't want them? It's almost like ocd intrusive thoughts, a scrote is present, he could be old and ugly but I become hyper aware and nervous. As a kid I had this need to have a crush, so I would pick guys I even knew were ugly, just to have someone to fixate on. Wtf is this? The one I tried to have sex with, he could tell I was uncomfortable. We couldn't go all the way. I even felt nothing while kissing after the first couple times, I did get excited but those were clandestine. Social anxiety? fear of intimacy? lesbian? or low sex drive? I feel broken

There's nothing wrong with having no sexual feelings for men or not wanting to be near them for whatever the reason, you're not broken and I say this as someone who does actually enjoy sex with men so it's not like that it's something that sounds divide you from others.
This is maybe a stupid thing to say but maybe don't worry about it, just do you
No. 714037
>>714034I think… you're right anon. In fact it's probably low self-esteem. And idk, some anxiety from the social norms you mentioned. I feel really aware of them around men
>just do youI agree tbh… It's not stupid advice. That is basically my method but every now and then I think myself a storm and try to figure out why I'm like this. It makes more sense to just live life and the answer will present itself. Maybe I will find a moid I actually like.
I guess I'm thinking so hard because I'm afraid I'll repeat it again… It's like I was 100% aware I wasn't attracted, but still thought I had a crush. Maybe I did somehow. Since I wasn't attracted to those guys then I don't know which I am, I don't know how to tell.
I'm overthinking again so I'll try to take your advice and just live, I sound crazy lol, thanks for the answer

Why do some women like tinder hook ups? Do you not mind that the men on there usually dont even see you as human?
No. 714045
>>714042for some people, it's easier to hook up with no expectation of a relationship

What’s a “normal” kink? I know choking, spitting and other degenerate shit that appears in porn is, well, degenerate. But what’s kinky enough to be kinky without being harmful, degrading or simply gross?
No. 714121
>>714097Would boots be "normal" or is that still degen? The only bad thing I see from that is when someone licks or gets stepped on, but kissing a boot is very mild.
Maybe I'm too degen to see it as degen tho

My mom never had friends as she was constantly moving and too focused on her studies and she regrets it a lot now that her children are grown up, she really wants to spend her time with someone else other than my dad because it's healthy

I was talking to this one girl, but didn't reply for nearly a week to her messages because my brain is shit.
I did reply 4 days ago, but she didn't get back to me, and I feel kind of bad because it's kind of my fault for being an anxious/easily distracted retard even though I wanted to make friends. Should I try messaging her again sometime, or is that weird? It's probably too late to apologize.

>>714200In new here so I don’t know, but I love having this space to share with other chicks. Having guys here be fine as long as they also share the same catty bitchy nature, but I would want them to be in the minority. I say that because on 4chan I’m always in the minority and get called out for being female, I’m actually getting harassed on there right now because I mentioned that a troon was harassing me, then saying “you shouldn’t have ever mentioned you were a girl on the internet and you deserve to suffer and die” like the troon couldn’t tell I was a girl by my fucking name. Believe it or not everyone needs a space to mingle with everyone and everyone also needs a space to mingle with people who share the same specific experiences and interests as them. This is my specific place.
It’s also super refreshing to hear a lot of topics being discussed that I would never see on 4chan. This may be the shittiest cattiest version of womanhood but it exists.
No. 714207
>>714097It's as subjective as can be. Hell, I consider choking to be pretty normie. Basically any kink that is described in the mainstream (BDSM, daddy kink, etc.) To be "normal" while anything from deviantart (feet, piss,giants, transformation, poop, etc) to be "degenerate"
Basically, if people call it kink, its "normal", and if people call it fetish, it is "abnormal"

>>714317Whether or not it's worth is really just depends on your personal taste but, if you want to try some albums I would recommend
>Red Velvet "The Perfect Red Velvet" & "Perfect Velvet>Sunmi "Warning"and some good artists are Mamamoo, G-IDLE, Apink, Brown Eyed Girls, f(x), 4minute and CLC. If you like Blackpink you'll probably like CLC, f(x) and G-IDLE the most. Also K/DA if that counts as a kpop group. I know that's a whole laundry list, but tbh the only way to discover kpop groups is to just look around. You could also watch award shows like MMA and MAMA, and there are also channels that 24/7 livestream k-pop performances

>>714317To tack onto this I'd also recommend loona for new generation girlgroups, their stans are cancerous but they actually have a variety of songs musically from the girls solo releases predebut
also really like Dreamcatcher, WJSN, NCT, TXT (the younger group under BTS's label), stray kids, contemporary TWICE. For solos BoA, Taeyeon, Lim Kim's old stuff. As anon mentioned SM's entertainment artists, fx, red velvet, girls generation, as examples, release pretty solid albums. If you like r&b I'd recommend artists like bibi, jiselle, lee hi, dean. Mostly listen to female artists but I concur that
>>714567 has some good recs and wanted to add more
If you like blackpink, check out 2ne1, different generation but same label, similar producers and sound
No. 714591
>>714567Samefag to add Chungha to my recommendations. Her songs are very same-y, but her choreography is so amazing. I know I already recommended Red Velvet
is it obvious I'm a stan? but you should also listen to their Japanese songs (#CookieJar, Sappy, Aitai Tai) if you end up liking their songs, you should also listen to the IRENE X SEULGI album
the choreo on naughty is fucking insane. The "velvet" side of RV is so solid.
Solo artists Yubin (Former member of Wonder Girls, which is also the group Sunmi was apart of) and Luna (Former member of f(x)) also have some bops in the few songs they've released. Heize is also a fantastic k-r&B artist.
Heavily seconding this anons

>>714317tbh kpop is super accessible and easy to get into, it's not exactly full of 'hidden gems' and the most popular songs are generally the better ones. And it has historically been dominated by 3 companies so if you go through the youtube channels for SM Entertainment, YG Ent and JYP Ent or look up their individual artists, that will cover a massive % of the most well known music and from there you can just watch recommended stuff. Though keep in mind the view counts are super skewed towards newer groups even if they aren't as influential or iconic as older groups, imo kpop started getting really good around 2008 onwards, the hits around that time were huuuge.
And yes, it's totally worth it if you like catchy upbeat pop. No other music industry has such a high concentration of fun earworm bops, even if it can get really same-y sounding.

>>714547She is a Disney kid and was the protagonist of the reboot of High School Musical.
There's this whole "drama" behind the song because it's directed to Joshua Bassett, who was his co-star in the series. Apparently they were going to date but she was young and he told he was going to wait for her, but ended up dating Sabrina Carpenter, an older, more accomplished singer/actress. Zoomers are obsessed with this story and have been talking about it for days, it gave the song a lot of fame and now it's like the most streamed song in the US ever, I believe
It's so boring to me, but I guess it's nice that she wrote it herself. As for being noticed by Taylor, Olivia is a huge fan and is always taking about her, so she might be like some mentor for her

> a person who ..has been hating me and trying to turn s/o's family against me is now offering their computer because mine has been dead for a whole year now
> is also trying to uwu invite to play videogames
What is this? Is there some hidden agenda behind it? This adult in diapers always acted pissy and jealous towards me, and now all of the sudden this person is trying to 'support/love' bomb me?
There most likely some agenda behind it going on because this person is known for making up things or doing some hidden shit.
I am not sure what to do because it's awkward. They already forced this PC onto me but I know I am not going to use it because I will also have to return it anyway. But now this person is trying to ask to 'spend time' with me but it's not even them being a bitch to me for a whole year, but also me just not being interested in playing videogames at all anymore. I am lost, and I at least want to somehow say _no_ about timespending, but I know they will push it and it will be awkward, but jesus christ, I do not want to spend time with this person because of all of the shit they've been doing against me when I've always been nothing but polite.
