Anteeks Päivi että luulin sua mieheksi

Munasolujen luovutus on Suomessa laillista, eikä siitä ole tainnut kukaan kitistäkään. Mutta raskaus on iso terveysriski ja voi olla psykologisesti raskasta antaa lapsi pois. Jotenkin ymmärtäisin vielä keissit jossa pariskunnan sukulainen/ystävä toimii sijaissynnyttäjänä ja voi olla mukana perheen elämässä, lainsäädäntöä tuskin kuitenkaan saisi kohdilleen niin että se hyväksyisi nämä poikkeukset ja samalla estäisi köyhyydessä kärsivien naisten hyväksikäyttöä.

>>2316530
Totta, on äärimmäisen feministinen teko ruveta kohduksi ihmisille, jotka suurella todennäköisyydellä eivät naisia pahemmin kunnioita. Tätä alleviivaa vaatimukset, jotka naiselle on asetettu että hänet kelpuutetaan tähän tärkeään tehtävään. Ja ei siis tasa-arvoiseksi kumppaniksi ,vaan välineeksi toteuttaa omia unelmiaan.

Jos tätä vastustaa, on niin konservatiivinen että on parasta muuttaa suoraan nunnaluostariin.

>>2316555
Joo, heti ollaan Räsäsiä kun ei haluta että köyhien maiden naisia ja heidän kohtujaan hyödynnetään näin (homo)miesten toimesta ja kun nähdään ihan vitusti ongelmia tässä.

Kyllä te nunnia tai kunnia ylilautalaisia olette sydämessänne. Köyhyys tai ihonväri ei ole syy sille että nainen ei saisi määrätä mitä omalla kehollaan tekee

Holy shit i love baths. I just took one for the first time in atleast five years and holy shit i love being in water. If i was rich i would build a bathtub the size of god. I wish there was a lake or beach nearby i could sit in nude. I wish i could breath underwater and be in it 24/7.

When you ask someone for money and they send more than what you wanted.

Love how uta-net asks you if you're from the EU and that, if you, located in the EU, click on No, Ms. Uta-Net-san, I am not from the EU, it will take you to uta-net.

When nicknames take out the middle part of someone's name instead of the first or last. It feels more creative.

When I reach a space between broadcast zones and the radio stations battle for dominance. It's usually a mess but sometimes there's entertaining music mashups. The latest one was a mix between Hardy's "Psycho" and Pat Valentino & His Orchestra's cover of "In The Mood" and it sounded cooler than it had any right to.

>>2316539
Yes they do, depends on the career but yes they would? Do you think any employer wants a diagnosed narcissist/psychopath going around and one-upping, harassing the other employees, stealing funds or other shit a typical narc/psycho would do?

>>2316542
There are plenty of narcissists and antisocial people that are excellent workers and achieve high positions in various fields. Being diagnosed narcissistic or antisocial doesn't automatically mean you're american psycho. It just means they function in a different way but still can adjust to what is expected of them in the job, since their main goal is supporting themselves they will usually want to work efficiently to earn money. For example, I would say most people working at tv stations have rather strong narcissistic traits because the jobs there synergize well with those traits and there are other positions in which it's just easier for people with these traits to achieve more.

>>2316548
That's different. Those narcs/psychos in power and jobs that require their traits do so because of their charm or whatever traits of their disorder, true, but that's different from applying to a job and having them know you're diagnosed. If I was an employer and saw someone who had narcissistic PD written down I'd be concerned whether they'd start mistreating my other employees tbh.
>they will usually want to work efficiently to earn money
Kek, you haven't met real PDs in the workplace. PDs think the whole world should cater to their beliefs, they would probably be working like shit and demanding money, or exaggerating their efforts in typical narc fashion.

>>2316551
>PDs think the whole world should cater to their beliefs, they would probably be working like shit and demanding money, or exaggerating their efforts in typical narc fashion.
Well it depends, but it shouldn't be a hiring criteria. It can be a valid reason to fire them when they under perform or cause issues, but when hiring I doubt anything else matters more than qualifications and experience. I have a few narcs in my family and they all excel at their work while being awful people in their private lives.

I really need to go to therapy for my fucked up childhood and body issues but I'm scared they will try to tell me I'm trans. I don't want to be a man because I'm gender "dysphoric", I just hate my biology that forces me to get pregnant and have periods and hate the way the world treats my gender

Also do you know any people who are bpd/narc that therapy just made them worse and better at being manipulative? I know someone who at first started to get self aware but suddenly went full spiral into victimization and became even more insufferable.

Mods ban this pick me

I'm so fucking tired of being a bippie. I don't want this. I'm so sick of the constant dramatic life changes, burning of briges etc insane behavior yet I always end up doing it anyway. I don't mean to, but in those moments I genuinely believe my actions are the correct ones to do because I don't know better. And they always end up doing more harm than good.

Anyone find out that their intense BPD symptoms may have been due to insane overuse of marijuana? I finally am gettin clean and have noticed a dramatic drop in my BPD behaviors and I’ve been able to keep calm about things that a month ago had me crying for an hour. I try not to bother the most important people in my life when I’m having symptoms, but it does occasionally spill over. I’m hopeful though that with my therapy and new sobriety I can really get a handle on it once and for all

Fucked up my life after being stable for 3 years. I hate myself. I am a pathetic loser that will never actually succeed. I should come clean about my recent fuck ups but I am too ashamed. I have been spending my days hiding and doing nothing except have lot of sex with anyone that gives me attention cause that's what I do when I let my impulses go wild and feel like shit. I miss working and having a normal boring life. I believed I could act normal, there is no hope.

Had a weird dream that my friends took me to a talent show that ended up being a premiere of a new Beatles film and then halfway through the film it turned into a zombie film and suddenly I was in the film running around with Paul and John and yes Yoko was obviously a zombie chasing us and then I got scared and was back to me being in the audience and I left the the theatre without telling anyway because I was so scared and then I couldn't remember where I parked my car so in my dream I thought I can't be fucking bothered with this shit anymore so I woke up lol

New surreal "horror" french movie idea

I never have dreams but if I do they’re very abstract with people who don’t exist or people who I don’t know irl. Well lately my dreams have changed completely and have shifted to being about this specific guy who is interested in me. It feels like he hijacked my sleep & dreams because every night I meet him in my sleep. It’s so fucking weird. I used to dream about pigs at gas stations and other weird stuff and now I’m literally meeting someone irl in my dreams. Has this ever happened to anyone else?

Someone very close to me died recently and I keep dreaming about him. The weirdest part is that I had a dream about him the day I found out he died, right before I got the news I had just woken up from a dream about him leading me to a rose garden.

Recently I also dreamt that I was able to hold my (also dead) best friend, but he was a child in the dream, and I held him so close and wanted nothing more than to protect him. In the dream he looked me in the eyes and told me it was a sign. Then I woke up.

Hard not to read too much into some of these things even if I'm not the most religious person. I wish I could fully believe in some kind of afterlife or spiritual presence without feeling like I'm crazy.

Anons in the celebricows thread posted the debut of a new singer. She was called "Sweeper" and they were having an INTENSE fight about whether she was the best or worst vocalist who ever lived. I was reading it like "??? Sweeper?? What kind of name is that" but nobody answered my question. The thread kept switching between a room full of anons as people that I could speak to face-to-face, and just the usual desktop site. Anyway, it didn't take long for Sweeper fever to "sweep" the entirety of lolcow. A containment thread was made but it quickly turned into MANY threads, there were banners made about her, a Sweeper theme was made (it was actually very cute too kek) and even the jannies were telling the haters to kill themselves. Suddenly, the dream changed to a room again and QUEEN SWEEPER HERSELF came storming through the door demanding to know why we were talking shit about her. I was stunned!! All the anons at the table were like "nooo, Sweeper, we love you here!" but she was enraged and started getting into a full-on fisticuffs battle with the haters. I was panicking and desperately trying to stop it. The dream ended just as Sweeper pushed a bunch of anons down the stairs.

I think the funniest part is that she kind of looked like Shayna with bright green hair.

>turns drawings made by children into plushies IRL
but WAS this made by a child? was it really, though?

I love that they did the shade of blue differently

I find it funny when men think they have a comeback with "liberal bad your argument is wrong because you probably have dyed hair and a septum piercing" like idc if those are seen as some bad woke gendie thing, I want dyed hair. Too bad I'd have to destroy it with bleaching beforehand…

I'm so glad my brother has the same sense of humor as me, he finally watched a stupid video I've been obsessing over for the past year and now he can't stop quoting it with me, and it's the kind of dumb internet shit I can't share with anybody else around me.

>>2316596
Yeah, the only thing that annoys me is when they whine about the game's lack of pronouns or hyper specific medical conditions or some shit.

>>2316534
>BG3 is based off of dungeons and dragons, where you're literally meant to play as whoever you want
Assuming the GM and other players are okay with it. So many BG3 players have never actually sat down for a tabletop game and it shows. Most D&D campaigns have some limits on character creation because the party needs to be able to stick together and the GM needs to be able to make suitable adventures for said party. But the whiny representation crowd wouldn't know that because they clearly haven't attended a session zero in their life and don't know how to play nice with others.

>>2316595
Scarabia's manga got announced curious if they'll stick with a 50/50 gender ratio. But pomefiore should have a female mc instead

>>2316611
Since the MC is supposed to be a foil for the character who overblots in the arc, I do think they should save another female Yuu for Pomefiore too. I guess it might work with Jamil, who does seem to struggle with feeling smaller/emasculated by his role under Kalim.

>>2316596
idk, but personally I find role playing games where you play a more specific character with limited customisation (eg Geralt from Witcher) more interesting and engaging than the ones geared towards more blank-slate self-insertion (eg Elder Scrolls games) because there's nothing for me to stick to with how the game's writing ends up catering to that mechanic (it works great in ttrpgs but games have very limited resources so the choices you engage with to express yourself/character are both restrictive and usually dull or have low/no impact on the game at large). I don't mind it when the rpg aspects are mostly mechanical/stats and not narrative like Dark Souls though. Each to their own though.

As for relating to a character, I don't really need them to be anything other than interesting tbh, and I kinda hate the way 'relatability' gets pushed in fiction anyway since it usually just leads to more bland, marketable everyman/woman characters as they need to be palatable and inoffensive to be considered such (this is just a common misunderstanding of decent writing advice, similar to how a character being 'likeable' is often translated into them being generically nice with no real negative traits). I also think that a lot of those generic white straight guy characters aren't actually seen as relatable/representative by men, but as invisible vessels to act out the game through, given just enough traits to have a semblance of marketable personality and for the plot to chug along (similar to how a lot of female protagonists are really just lightly flavoured skins for the reader to inhabit in a lot of YA/romance novels). Some characters are more for function than anything else. Maybe we do need more female generic, shell-person protagonists though, if only to curb the terrible personality and dialogue they keep being given in recent games kek

I do want to see more varied depictions in media like games, don't get me wrong, just not the kind that exists to cater to its audience's narcissistic urge to relate to only themselves. Rather, I want to see the sort that leads to fresh characters, stories, visuals, and ideas being explored in the medium. 'Representation' has become such a poisoned topic, but it does of course have value at the heart of it.

This is an early sign of diabetes.

>>2316110
>>2316121
Kek no way. I'm literally diabetic and my piss smells like that too. Anon… go to the doctor pls.

One time when I was in high school I had such a severe sharp pain in my stomach that wouldn't go away after a couple hours so I begged my mom to come get me and take me home. When I got dropped off at home, I went to my room and let out the biggest fart of my entire life. And just like that, my stomach stopped hurting. Now whenever I need to fart I try to excuse myself to do it somewhere private just in case it builds up again and causes pain kek.

Not to discourage nonnies from seeking medical attention, but piss smelling sweet or like butter isn't necessarily a sign of diabetes. I've had my piss smell like anything from maple syrup to malted milkshakes and yes, popcorn. Because I'm a hypochondriac, I always went to urgent care the next day. Everything was always fine, I'm not diabetic kek. They laughed at me, actually, for wondering if I was. Sometimes the body just doesn't filter things perfectly and your piss can take on different scents depending on what you ate if you have an especially sensitive nose.

Vegan beef jerky and pea protein make my piss smell like vanilla for some reason. And when I'm dehydrated (thankfully very rare) my piss tends to smell like popcorn. Drink coffee? Yep, instant coffee piss and even armpits. Whenever I eat Indian food with a lot of fennel in it my armpits smell like brown sugar too. I've had a lot of tests done because I'm an anxious person and they've always come back perfectly.

>>2316607
Samefag but I just remembered that the reason I first went to the doctor for my piss smelling like food was actually after I had posted about it here and I had like 5 nonnies in a row tell me I needed to go to the doctor ASAP kek. I appreciated it, and it's still worth getting it checked out just in case (as long as you can afford it/have insurance), but unless you're someone who's actually at risk of being diabetic e.g. overweight or genetic predisposition, it's probably nothing.
