Once in 10th grade we had to do 10 minute presentations about inspirational people that we look up too and everyone was doing figures like Martin Luther King Jr. and Rosa Parks and then when the class weeb presented she did hers about the blonde vocaloids. So I had to sit in class for 10 minutes listening to this and feeling such strong second hand embarrassment and violent cringe that after that day I stopped listening to Vocaloids and I grew up

I was inspired by the subreddit. This is a thread to ask other anons if you're being the asshole in a particular situation or if you're in the right.

>there's a cat that always chills around the neighborhood

>no collar or any indicator he belonged to anyone
>always coming up to me demanding affection
>took him in assuming he's a stray
>get him collar and stop letting him outside
>after a week start seeing missing posters with a cat that's most likely him in them
>ignore them, telling myself it's not
>his owner contacts me on Facebook a few months later saying she thinks it's her cat and that she wants it back (apparently a neighbor tipped her off that I might have him because she saw him through the window)
>I lie and tell her I've had him for longer than her cat's been missing and there's no way they're the same cat

I feel bad, but who the fuck let's their cat be outdoors in an area filled with fisher cats, dog breeds known for being predatorial toward cars, heavy traffic, and doesn't even put a collar/name tag on them? Not only are this cat and I super bonded at this point, but I would genuinely worry about his safety going back to someone who lacks this much common sense.

Had the exact same specimen at my workplace (acts 'protective', advertises how safe he is, latches onto women with a saccharine concerned mommy attitude, tried to get drunk women to hang out with him), turns out he raped one coworker and is a pedophile to boot. You dodged a bullet when you declined his invitation. Report him ASAP, you might want to ask for an opinion from police if you're afraid he'll escalate and use your personal info against you.
>>2262894
The friend is an unrepetant asshole. 'Muhhh change work hours for me' what? she has no solid self and thinks berating her friends for contact is an acceptable way to fill the void within her. I bet you she'd think it's awful and unforgivable if this was done to her. She clearly pressured your best friend by berating her in public, trying to twist her arm into a commitment. What a retard. Her passive agressive response says it all, if she had more of a spine (she doesn't, hence why she attacked your bestie) she'd tell you to fuck off because she's not sorry. Not the asshole. Your best friend needs to enforce boundaries better

>>2262894
NTA. Friend is a freak for having regularly made public spectacles to try and publically shame bestfriend for living her own life. Demanding that she change jobs or work less hours?? Loneliness to that extent is a problem of more personal initiative rather than expecting others to bend over backwards to soothe someone.
Bestfriend sounds like a pushover if she's still friends with friend. Expect friend to try driving a wedge between you two now that you're physically out of the picture. Friend is an asshole and in her eyes you "lost" by getting mad at her over a long text after you accepted her shitty apology (from the context idk why she brought up her roommates).
At least friend blocked you and took herself out of your life over imagined feelings of superiority. Good riddance, what a freak. The thought of an adult throwing tantrums like that disgusts me tbh.

>>2262937
Yeah, I think she is the type of person to tear us apart. I don't worry though because bestie and I are childhood friends. She mentioned her roommates because they were with us at the restaurant and they also dogpiled on her but I honestly think they wouldn't be acting like that if it wasn't for her. I made it pretty Obvious I was singling her out but I think she mentioned them to take the heat off herself and rile them up imo

Nonna I'm so sorry you have had such a similar experience knowing a man like this, I hope that coworker is in a much safer place. Moid in question DOES get overprotective or classes very controlling remarks as him "being protective" and is weirdly familiar and jealous, and acts like he's the world's most cursed martyr but I reckon he is the problem and HE is the one being toxic in all his life situations. The way he responded to me declining his invitation was disgusting, saying it wasn't fair and that he was so looking forward to seeing me, trying to pressure me into doing it and then sulking that I did not. I've noticed it's a pattern so I disengaged and I've kept him as far away from me as possible, I actually feel pissed off when he tries to get his gym workouts in on days he thinks I'll be there, comes over and tries to mansplain weights to me and has his hands on his hips grinning over me expecting me to hang out so thanks for the extra validation that I am not being paranoid and he is as slimy as I wonder. Bonus points that I've accidentally seen the porn and this pornstar on his phone when he showed me a photo from his walk and it made me feel sick because the woman resembled the young girls who come into the gym even though she was of age.

Thread for anons recovering or fighting with long terms internet/smartphone/social media/video game addiction and the manifesting problems it causes (ADD, low self-esteem, lack of ability to commit to long terms processes, inability to learn new hobbies and skills, inability to tolerate silence ect). Feel free to also use this thread a support network. Brain training, healthy brain foods, building up gray matter and executive functions back up, unlearning destructive habits ect also covered. Avoiding digital junk information landscape in general (adblockers ect) can also be discussed. Any type of technology or media addiction can be covered, including things like netflix or youtube binging that wouldn't be normally considered addictive.

Ideally this thread could be similar to the health and wellness threads, but for our brains and the type of information we consume.

forgot this thread existed and retardedly posted in the advice one.

hi sweet nonnies. this is a small advice request, i think.

over the years i have dedicated more time to lolcow as id like, its the only website i scroll and my only news source/social interaction outside of family, my partner and small social interactions, because i work from home etc. anyway i think its just been easier to form a habit around using it when i wake up or want to relax.

i can have the discipline to use it less, and i always feel better, but the problem is i dont want to abandon it completely. i just want to read more again and get back into hobbies and have more creativity, be more mindful.

do any nonnies have a recommended time limit or day of the week i can allocate to it? i just need something reasonable i cant compromise on. i think if i knew i had one time or a set time for one day of the week i can use it, id naturally fill the other free time slots with hobbies or even more enrichment like games i think is far better than scrolling. how do you all manage this? how much time do you allocate to non-lc leisure without being neurotic?

ah not a simple request maybe. sorry for the bloggy post

Seconding, hide all the threads which you know are unhealthy for you (e.g. unpopular opinions, xyz hate threads etc) and only keep the threads on positive topics which you enjoy. Also stop browsing cows. You'll see that you'll browse LC once or twice a day and then go do something else because the threads will be so slow you won't have anything to do in here anymore.

Made it a second time to use up the leftovers, this time I added the macaroni and I wouldn't make it without the macaroni again it makes it so filling. Having made it twice now I think the two most important ingredients are actually the wine and the butter because the proportions of each can drastically change the flavor of the final dish. The more butter the creamier it is in flavor and mouthfeel and the more wine there is the brighter it is in flavor due to the acidity. The second time I made it I actually cooked the celery and carrot first to soften them (sort of like a mirepoix) and I think I'd make it like that in the future.

I have my own minestrone recipe and I'll probably incorporate elements from yours the next time I make mine.

I really wish that E.V Ramasamy was more well-known in the West compared to Ghandi. He was basically everything Ghandi wasn't. He also campaigned for independence, but he didn't tell people to starve themselves and die over it. He rightfully called out the Brahmins for being equally oppressive towards the natives of South Asia as Muslim invaders. He advocated for a secular state that allowed you to practice your religion but wouldn't allow you to force your beliefs onto another person. Most importantly, instead of sleeping with naked girls like Ghandi, he believed that women were unfairly discriminated against and advocated for education and property rights. He followed through by creating multiple girls schools and being the first province in South Asia to give women equal property rights.

I asked AI to write a summary.

"The text in the image discusses the potential link between autism and certain behaviors and characteristics observed in Jewish and Asian cultures. It suggests that behaviors such as rocking back and forth during prayers, strict adherence to rules, and meditation practices may be rooted in autistic traits.

The text also explores the idea of "shadow autism," where individuals may exhibit some autistic tendencies without meeting the full diagnostic criteria. It proposes that Jewish and Asian populations may have a higher prevalence of both clinical and shadow autism, which could influence their cultural traditions.

Additionally, the text raises questions about the relationship between brain size, intelligence, and autism. It suggests that larger brain size, often associated with autism, may contribute to the higher IQ scores observed in Jewish and Asian populations. However, it also acknowledges that this could be a result of savant skills associated with autism rather than general intelligence.

Furthermore, the text speculates on the potential role of autism in gender differences. It suggests that men's poorer social skills and higher rates of autism and schizophrenia compared to women might be due to a "shadow form" of these disorders. Similarly, women's higher rates of mood disorders might be attributed to "shadow signs" of bipolar and depression.

Overall, the text presents a controversial and speculative viewpoint that links autism to cultural practices and gender differences. It is important to note that these are unproven hypotheses and that further research is needed to explore these connections."
