she played (among many other roles), anne boleyn! she was half sri lanken, but lied about this for pretty obvious reasons (not easy to get decent roles in the 1930s as a not-white person). weirdly enough, despite people around her believing her when she said she was white, she also got cast in a lot of asian roles, as she looked 'exotic'. (then again, so did kathy hepburn & lauren bacall, who definitely weren't concealing mixed heritage). i often wonder how that would fit into the cultural appropriation / yellowface conversation.

Datalounge is usually excellent for oldie gossip, they probably have threads on her if you're interested.

Filming wasn't going well and she kept fluffing up her lines and while on a bathroom break he stole her spare tampons and made a wreath or necklace or something and when she returned confused, he cruelly chastised her for delaying the crew and said it was to mop her up (what he actually said was much more cruel, but I can't remember what it was). Anyway, the whole crew fell into a fit of laughter, and humiliated she ran off set bawling.
Interesting how things change re ethnicity, Anna Kashfi picrel was actually British/Irish but passed herself off as an Indian lol. She even kept her real ethnicity a secret from husband Marlon Brando lol.

>>880841I'm in a sorority, so I'd be down to answer any specific questions. In general though, sorority culture varies really significantly by the greater greek life culture on your campus, and then less so by the individual sorority. If you're scared about getting in/getting rejected by one, firstly, the odds are likely in your favor since most sorority membership numbers went down during covid, so the amount of members they can currently take should be higher, and secondly, it's frequently less of a personal rejection than people think it is, it's not uncommon for a sorority to have to not offer a bid to a woman they would have happily taken a different semester just because they weren't able to offer a greater number of bids that particular semester. Rush is just a lot of talking to people. I'd be prepared to answer basic "get to know you" type questions you'll likely be asked about your interests, your major, why you're rushing, etc. Then if you go back to talk to a sorority after the first day, conversation will typically be steered to providing information and answering any of your questions about the sorority. I imagine some sororities have really particular criteria for being willing to offer a bid, but most are really just looking for someone who's a good personality fit for their chapter.

As a young person you're constantly pressured to get into a relationship, all of tv and media is about highschool relationships, and sex appeal, and sex. Then as you get older your friends are too busy catering to their scrotes so friendships don't survive. Some just get a bf bc it's more convenient to split their rent. Then from mid thirties basically everyone has a family, it becomes impossible to form deep bonds with other women because scrotes useless and expect women to play both wife and husband roles, leaving no time for friends.

Anime became popular because it was cheap to produce and weebs, who never went out of their caves, created forums to talk to other weebs.
Then the forums stopped being neat, and then some losers decided to copy the glorious nippon’s imageboard system, making a sooper speshul place for weebs to post their favorite waifus and to talk about their grorious nippon fantasies, away from the prying eyes of the sooper evil normies, chads and stacies alike, unaware of the possibility of such sooper sekrit clubs becoming more and more easy to access for the normie population.

>>885562Talk to your roommate about splitting up the cleaning responsibilities (e.g.: every odd weeks you're gonna do the general cleaning in the shared living spaces, and every even week it's your roommate's turn).
I personally didn't have any issues with cleaning while living with a roommate. If I forgot to wash my dishes, she washed it for me and vice versa. If someone cooked in the kitchen, they cleaned up after themselves afterwards.
Do you know the basics of cleaning? You vacuum first, then mop (pay attention to the washing up liquid, some of them cannot be used on wooden floors). If you don't have proper washing up detergent, put some soap or dishwashing liquid in the water. For general cleaning use disinfectant or just any general cleaning detergent (for surfaces that are not that dirty, just a wet sponge will do).
NEVER MIX BLEACH WITH ANYTHING OTHER THAN WATER!!!. Have separate cleaning sponges for the bathroom and for the kitchen (or you could use just paper towels to clean and throw it away afterwards).
Random note: I used to be really untidy and found having a roommate really useful because there was external pressure to do the cleaning. Like, if I lived alone, I would have let the dishes just pile the fuck up but the fact that there was another person who used the kitchen made me want to not inconvenience them

and was a disaster because my Japanese teacher told me to focus on one specific topic and then removed a bunch of points from my score because she found my work to be off-topic. I then had to make a 20 minutes long presentation based on that, my final argument was that it's currently difficult to hire nurses in my country because the government is stingy as fuck and nurse school is expensive compared to the shitty salaries they get, and that if this situation stayed this way and it was still nearly impossible to have enough nurses and doctors for all patients in our hospitals and nursing homes we'd be completely fucked over in the case of an unplanned huge epidemic or health crisis that would cause a huge spike of number of patients.

I know that's short for an undergrad thesis of all things but I was shoved into a seminar that wasn't about that I studied for.

I spent the last three and a half years studying east asian politics (with a focus on Japan) to write my undergrad thesis on… latin america?????
I somehow made it through. I'm 90% sure my professor didn't even read it because he gave me an A but I know full well that my paper was hot garbage. He only cared about the students who were actually majoring in the subject. Probably the single worst paper I had ever pulled out of my ass. I wrote something about the use of violence in Venezuela protests or some shit like that. My seminar professor was also super unhelpful when I would go to him for help or any direction, and I had to turn to my Japanese professor (who was also one of my major advisors and I was close with him) for help.

>>886629Having been around both black people in this scenario, my experience is the black men have very little standards/expectations for women outside their race. A white woman is meant to be kinder and southern black men tend to find being overweight attractive. The excitement over any attention from a different race means they take almost anything that will come. She just needs to be a woman who "acts like a woman" to counter the abrasive black woman. The black woman here may have bigger expectations for both herself and her partner, usually reflecting her political values. To a more liberal black woman, she gets to begrudgingly participate in a world she judges as more privileged and easygoing. For a more apolitical one, she's not only independently improving her own life but getting the prized men out of it all and legitimizing her status. He's supposed to be more intelligent and well-read than the black man. She's more likely to keep herself well manicured. Or know she's pretty and tries to date accordingly (her beauty is meant to be equal to his "elevated" lifestyle). I think white men also just have higher standards for darker races. SE asians, latinas and ME women I see with white men tend to be pretty too.
Ultimately it's (in America) one of our odd outcomes of having insecurities in our identity. A lot of seemingly arbitrary social rules coalescing.

if I have a fanaccount and there's certain people who are starting to sound stalkerish and get on my nerves, should I tell them off, or should I keep ignoring them? only because I don't want to get cancelled and lose the viewership I do have over petty drama, I can't stand the way one of my followers in particular is acting. if I continue to ignore her she may get the hint, but thus far she's sounded more and more schizophrenic overtime and it's not getting better

>>886455I thought the wet dog thing was a meme (and it mostly is) but I did date one white guy who literally smelled, to a T, like a wet dog. It was horrible because he would come out of the shower smelling worse for the first 30 minutes because the water would bring out some sort of natural scent in him that was really off-putting (the same way getting a dog wet makes them smell). I felt bad because his hygiene was good and there was nothing he could do, it was just a genetic thing. Smelling his scalp or ears made me want to vomit. I've dated or been close with other white men who smell like normal humans and I've never encountered that strange smell he had ever again.
I've read that finding someones natural scent off-putting could be some sort of genetic avoidance thing. Like it could mean you are incompatible genetically and your offspring wouldn't be ideal or something. Whether that's true or not, I don't know, but it seriously felt like a biological warning sign to stay away from him.

I quit my job so my last day of work should be the 27th of August. I'm considering not going to work today, tomorrow and Monday just to get a break because I'll start another job on the 30th. Tuesday is my day off so I'll just have to work on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday. Problem is, I can't get a letter from my doctor to justify it and be payed for any potential sick leave because getting a doctor appointment is a pain in the ass these days, they're all booked until next week.
Should I skip work anyway? I don't think I'll need to be in good terms with the company for any future reference and I'm supposed to work from 3pm to 11pm everyday so I'm legit tired anyway and have constant headaches but two weeks ago the doctor I saw told me to just take pain killers and go back to work.

>>888131>>887880Depop gets gayer every day doesnt it. No you don't have to message people, anyone who says you do is a weenie. As a seller it's actually the opposite: anyone who asks a question is probably a problem. A lot of ebay sellers straight up block people who ask questions without buying.
The only caveat is dont buy something from an inactive account, getting a refund on depop is ass because you'll have to go through the paypal dispute system which works but it's slow. So if you want to check if a seller is still around then message them maybe. But anyone who's trying to gatekeep their items behind "be friends with me first" is a weenie weirdo. Do not interact. They sellin a bit of clothes, it's not a secret club.
Also do NOT do any offsite transactions, you will probably get scammed (zoomer males are slime in this regard, the average zoomer will try to ghost with the money if you seem naive. it's bad). If someone asks you to do an offsite transaction, you can screenshot it, report it and get them banned, and imo you really should, because anyone who does that IS doing it to selectively scam whenever they feel like they'll get away with it. The fees aren't so much that it's worth it for sellers to risk trying to go offsite unless they're trying to scam. Or they're just retarded and risking their account to save a couple bucks. If it's not you they scam, it will be someone else if you don't report it.
Frankly I dont know why you all try to use depop still, i have never encountered even 1% of this fag business on any other platform. The aesthetic is so tired at this point anyway… do you really need zoomie funky selfies to tell you how to dress? tell me what you're trying to buy and I will find it or a better it, and NOT on depop.

>>888176I mean i sort of understand about people & thrifting, it is hard work and online people cant really be expected to get off the couch for very much. But yeah you will have way more luck and almost zero weenie zoomies on ebay/etsy/literally anywhere else.
I recently discovered swap.com - kind of strange generic site but it's real & quite cheap in the clearance section, and very good tools to sort by size, brand, item type & color, which other sites really lack. It's not a seller-based site, the site does all the listings themselves so its all standardized and theres no dealing with individual weirdo sellers. They have about ~700k items, and they have a kind of weird selection of brands that they carry, it's a mix of secondhand/thrift and discounted new stuff a la tjmaxx style. So I would just search some brands that you like and see what they have/how they price those brands. Or alternatively tick in just your sizes/price range in the advanced search and see what they have.
Random other tip: for any amazon clothing/shoes, try searching for the same product on ebay. When amazon sellers get items returned opened, they frequently write them off and sell them on ebay at a big discount, less than half 9f the original price. One ebay seller that definitely works on this basis is "pairmysole" which has like 300k+ pairs of shoes listed, and thats just one of many.

http://www.webexhibits.org/butter/countries-japan.html>Prior to World War II, Japanese contact with the West had been at a minimum. When they came in contact with the Portuguese in the sixteenth century and the more numerous English and Americans in the 19th century, they reacted with shock. The blue eyes and “red” hair of westerners are attributes of goblins in Japanese folklore. They were appalled at the hairy, sweaty bodies that gave off a strong body odor due to a diet higher in animal fat. Those who did meet Europeans were disgusted by their stench: people who seldom touch animal products are extremely sensitive to the body-odor exuded by eaters of animal fat.
>It was butter, the Japanese thought, which made Europeans so peculiarly rank: bata-kusai they called them (using the English word for the foul substance): “butter-stinkers." The terms Bata-kusai, “stinking of butter,” is still a derogatory term for things obnoxiously Western.I think it depends on the person, really.

Growing up, were you attracted to boys your own age? I found them repulsive psychologically and physically. I never developed a crush on a male peer or found teen idols appealing. I'd say, from aged eight onwards I was attracted to men and could only become aroused by fully developed bodies only, like men in their mid twenties (when my libido fully kicked in that is, which was about aged 12 approx). I didn't want anything to do with men for a long time though, longer than most of my peers actually, I was a bit scared of them at the same time. I seem to have skipped some developmental stage my friends went through kek. I wondered if it's actually more common than I realise.

>>890045I've contacted the DWD, read up on the appeals process, and have a rough draft of my appeal started before I format and fax it. Any tips on what to avoid/how to approach? My employer fired me on basis of saying I left (as if I quit), but I was fired for trying to make an interview somewhere else. I had permission to leave, but they counted them as absences at work later. I've read that they want concise statements that sum up why you disagree and want to appeal, but if a situations has many factors/is nuanced, are there things I shouldn't mention?

>>890431>>890399The person with a room all for themselves does have extra value. If you share a room with a friend to save money, you're giving up space and privacy, you can't bring your date to have sex on your bed, you can't masturbate whenever you want, and you have to agree on extra rules. It's no longer "your room your rules". You have no "sanctuary/safe space" so to say.
And even if they're a couple, on top of giving up personal storage space they have no private place to be apart from each other, so if someone is in a bad mood or wants to be alone they'd have to either sleep on a common area or leave the appartment altogether.
Even at hotels with "per person" rates, booking one double occupancy room is always cheaper than booking two single occupancy rooms.
Charging a set amount per room or charging a set amount per person are both unfair though, but there are probably formulas out there to figure out the fair rates.

>>890549Cranberry juice won't do anything, it has also too much sugar and bacteria love sugar. The proanthocyanidin in cranberries has only an effect before the UTI, because it can build a layer on you bladder which helps to prevent the bacteria from staying there and you would rather take pills with that then drinking litres of juice, because it would take litres to get the right PAC concentration.
Drink lots of water or diuretic tea, try eating raw garlic, it's an natural antibiotic, without the whole side effects of normal antibiotics, wash your underwear and everything getting into contact with your lower part, like towels, above 65°C and avoid alcohol and sugar.
If you happen to live in Germany, try Angocin (
https://www.angocin.de/) best thing I ever had against a UTI, don't know if there is something similar in other countries.
Oh, and avoid having sex and if you have sex, you have to go and pee afterwards so you can flush bacteria out before they make your bladder their new hom.
Also, have a closer look at your kidneys, if they start hurting or you pee blood, go to a doctor immediately. My last UTI did that for me, it was fun, but all of that above helped more than the antibiotics I got prescribed, doctor gave me Ciprofloxacin, she was an idiot.
Hope you are feeling better soon.

>>890918Not resuable pads, but I did use period underwear so I guess it's pretty similar? I bought Padkix through their kickstarter, I think they now sell it so the pads are removable from the underwear itself (and attached by velcro) but I have the ones where they're just sewn in. I really liked them! Very, very comfortable and held quite a bit of liquid. It took some getting used to to not clench my legs together because that'll bring the edges in closer to your vag where it'll then leak since the edges are now soaking up your blood instead of the actual pad itself, because the pad does a fine job of catching and holding a lot of liquid as long as you let it. I never felt that "soggy pad" feeling unless it was an uncomfortably crazy and heavy flow, but it would still hold pretty strong and not really leak.
Rinsing them out feels kind of gross but I just took them with me into the shower and wring them out. I feel like it's about as gross as washing regular underwear that you unfortunately bleed on, I don't really care since it's my own bodily fluids.

>>891343It's not too hard to eat healthily, and humans can flourish on a variety of different diets. In general, hitting your macros is a good start, along with getting your basic vitamins and minerals (most modern people won't have trouble getting these, but some find it helpful to supplement their diet with extra vitamin B or D). After that, it's mostly just trying to avoid some bad stuff (trans fats, too much sodium, maybe refined sugar because it's often a sign of low nutrition density) and getting good stuff when you can (soluble fiber, omega 3 fatty acids, and to some extent bioflavonoids from lots of different colored fruits and vegetables). For women, making sure you get sufficient calcium and iron is of extra importance, especially if you're vegetarian or vegan (this helps combat osteoporosis and anemia, respectively).
Aside from that, you can basically eat whatever fits your lifestyle and feels right! Experimenting with high nutrition density foods like bok choy, sweet potatoes, and lentils will help you figure out a list of extra healthy foods that you like, and from there you can try making them more prominent in your diet. There's a lot of misinformation about nutrition out there; people place different amounts of emphasis on eating organic, non-gmo, or farm fresh, but the reality is that none of these things have really been shown to affect food nutrient levels (it can actually be pretty counterintuitive, as many canned and frozen vegetables can actually have high levels of some nutrients because they're preserved quickly after harvesting). Not sure what the other anon meant about ancestry diets, but in general your race doesn't have a strong effect on what's good for you, although some ethnicities are more or less prone to certain diet-related diseases like osteoporosis or diabetes.
Sorry for the sperg kek, I love reading about nutrition. Let me know if you have any dietary restrictions and I can make more specific recs if you'd like.

>>891266>glucose is essentially the brain's only fuel sourceFalse. The brain can function on ketones. Carbohydrates are the only optional macro.
>>891449Different races of people exist because they evolved to thrive in different environments. The food available in these different environments would have influenced that evolution.
No. 891503
>>891464That's definitely true, but generally the "right" diets for people of different ethnicities are all going to look more similar than different. Sticking to a diet rich in whole grains, dark leafy greens, legumes and fish is medically supported for almost everyone. In that sense, race plays a relatively minor role in nutritional decision making.
Lactose intolerance is pretty common outside of Northwestern Europe, Africa, and the Middle East, but it does vary from person to person. As such, dairy can be worth cutting out if you suspect it's giving you stomach problems (from personal experience, this won't exactly be subtle lol). The carb thing is interesting, and is related to some races being predisposed to diabetes. Research seems to increasingly confirm that Asians and Africans are more likely to get diabetes than Europeans (controlling for weight), so it's hypothetically something to think about - in practice though, your family background and medical history is going to be more useful in determining whether you should actively seek to curb carb consumption. Unless you have an active soy allergy (ask your doctor for a test if you're suspicious), nothing seems to indicate that certain groups need to avoid soy.
>>891473The keto diet has made discussing everything having to do with glucose and ketones kinda contentious, but there are a few facts to go off. Glucose metabolism provides almost all of the energy used by your brain normally, and still plays a major role in powering your brain in ketosis (there's a lot of current scientific disagreement on just how much, but the most generous estimate for ketone utilization still shows that roughly 25% of your brain's energy comes from glucose during ketosis). When your body is deprived of carbs, it makes it own glucose through a process called gluconeogenesis, indicating how important glucose is to regular brain function (it's also the reason why you can't really force your body to run on only ketones, even if you avoid all carbs when eating). Without sufficient glucose (hypoglycemia) you feel confused, anxious, and tired, and in extreme cases hypoglycemia can cause seizures and brain damage. The last part won't happen if you're not diabetic, but it's still a good idea to make sure that you're getting an adequate amount of carbs in your diet, especially if you're concerned about brain function.

Lactose tolerance would increase the odds that a kid in a pastoral society could get enough calories to survive to adulthood, but that doesn't mean that a dairy-heavy diet is optimal for their health and longevity. Btw the average westerner subsisted primarily off of gruel and pork scraps for hundreds, if not thousands of years, so enjoy your traditional diet.
