So sick of hearing about the Hawk Tuah forced meme garbage. So sick of how pornified and degenerate and retarded people have become. No one has any class anymore. We truly live in a society.

I did answer coldly and as soon as I'm done with this intership I'm reporting his ass to the university
I don't care that he was "joking", it's not appropriate to ask questions like these to your trainees and contributes to hospital rape culture

I'm sure it's just anxiety. I've noticed I wake up anxious some mornings too, and it fades away afterwards. If it really bothers you, you could tell your primary care doctor.

Truth hurts but you're right. I did nut up and study hard after I posted this and ended up getting an 88! My life problems and coping mechanisms remain but I'm really glad I could lock in. The resentment in my post is very clear it's true, and of course is not something I should've been focusing on in the moment, it's a common thought pattern I fall into while stressed. The whole "worst case scenario" is also a bad thing to ruminate on (obviously the only really "good" thing to focus on in the situation is studying), and I definitely take it way too far sometimes. But in a strange way slowing down and telling myself "look even if you fail, you still will not blow up and die, you will still live and end up okay", has a calming effect and lets me focus up on what I should do. It's like what you're saying, the fear of failing school scares me so much I end up going retard mode and trying to fail. Basically I'm trying to reduce that fear (although not entirely an irrational fear, not world ending in nature) in a pragmatic way so I can execute. In all I will definitely keep your words in mind throughout my next classes because the self sabotage can and has destroyed my grades before (looking at you, freshman year of college..). I have some plans for after graduation to try and fulfill my passions so that my resentment doesn't build up. Maybe I should try programming for myself more like I used to do, I might be less bitter than lol. Either way thank you for taking the time to read and respond to my post, anon.

These people would be eaten alive in an actual corporate environment.

I have to share my first day encounter at närcon with you nonas. I hope blogging is ok kek
I'm helping my friends at närcon this year (not staff) and today was the setting up day before visitors even arrive. They have free food if you work there (really shit quality, cannot stress enough how shit it was). They have long tables in the dining hall so you just grab any available seat, we made the mistake of sitting down next to a lone moid.

We were talking to each other while eating the shitty food, the moid sitting quietly next to us. Then all of a sudden he brings out his phone and puts it in front of us. He said something, which in hindsight was probably "you look like you like music" and he was like "I made this". His phone has really shit electronic-y music playing and a video of what I would describe as "early youtube" clips. Not of youtubers, but "viral" videos before viral videos was a thing. "I sell these, I made them." He brings out a white CD case, with a drawing of a poorly made anime girl which he said he drew himself (just black lines on white paper, picrel is from google just to show roughly what it was like kek). The other side had a poorly drawn dragon in similar fashion. My friend said "Cool, but I don't think we're interested!" and we all went back to talking. The moid didn't want to give up, he kept shoving the phone in front of us every minute or so with his music and random clips going "this guys is lifting a whole truck" or "this is the fastest car in the world" or some shit while asking "maybe I could get a few coins for it…?". Excuse me who the fuck are you, we are in the middle of eating and we already said we don't want your shitty CD?! He was clearly mentally disabled in some way, but my own group consisted of 2 autists and 1 adhd person and we were still all weirded out by him.
Now let me remind you what I said at the start - this guy is not a visitor, but is working at närcon in some capacity. I can't imagine what he does, he had zero respect for personal boundaries nor did he have anyone "looking after" him.

I have a feeling if I posted this in some närcon staff chat there would be many people going "oh THAT guy" because there is no way this was the first time he bothered people.

It's honestly depressing walking through artist alley and seeing that at least half of sellers have some variation of gender flag stuff… it's like going into a church!
I can't imagine they actually sell though, it's just their version of having a picture of mary and baby jesus - a signal so people know they're a good little woke ally

>>2103382
Nooo I met that same guy while working there two years ago!!! He did the same thing and then started pressuring me to buy his fucking CD. And when I said no he tried bargaining with me and lowering the price and he would NOT leave me alone. It’s insane how he’s still allowed to work there and make other staff so uncomfortable.

Holy shit I've seen so many hulking troons here already.

>>2102317
are you a fellow PDAer? I hate the name for it honestly

>>2103411
Yeah it seems very likely. I cried when I found out what PDA was, because how do you explain that having to piss makes you angry without sounding like a drooling retard? Except apparently, it's a real thing.

Although not enough of a thing that psychologists or therapists or even the people themselves have any actual useful management strategies kek. Do you have any? Mostly I have to pretend to myself that I'm not actually doing the thing I need to do, or I work myself into enough of a panic that adrenaline helps force it, although both are exhausting.

Ideally I would like to find some sort of therapy or exercise that helps me reduce demand avoidance symptoms over time.

Amazing, my brain drags me screaming in the other direction of even fun things I want to do. It's like driving with a handbrake on the whole time.

ADHD-er here.
Anyone have a family who refuse to acknowledge your neurodivergence and judge your behaviour by NT standards?

>>2105282
My parents literally told me to go fuck myself when i told them i have autism and refuse to learn what adhd is. My dad admitted to me he always knew i had autism, but insisted that autism goes away when you are an adult because apparently it happened to my uncle, even though whatever he had going on was 100% not autism and just some kind of delay that he was able to get over. They are confused why as an adult i never have any friends, can't talk to people or really look them in the eye and why i was non-verbal as a child, but refused to do anything about it, but also insist that i should stop taking depression medication because they make you sleep when that's not the case. My parents are very stupid, ignorant and arrogant people who can't be relied on for any kind of support. I am not close with any other of my family members, so i am all alone with whatever struggles i have related to autism and adhd.

>>2105317
samefag, but to answer you question, i am judged by NT standards for everything i do and because of it, most people do not like me and i make them extremely uncomfortable. I really wish i could live in isolation, but unfortunately i am forced to be a part of this world until i fight my survival instinct and finally kill myself. There's really no point in telling anyone you are autistic, nobody understands what it is and I can't explain because i have the bad anti-social version of autism that people despise, people want the whimsical autism where you talk too much, smile a lot and have special interests pertaining to rainbows and unicorns.

Someone posted one of the photos from that photoshoot in the attractive man thread. I get why there's so many redrawings of it

>>2105122
The marceline x pb enemies-to-lovers storyline never really did anything for me, it just didn't have enough umph

>>2105142
The dog belongs to him now.

>>2105166
Do you not understand the concept of character development? In Varmints, PB has an emotional breakdown because she feels like she's failed at all of her duties. In the tunnels, Marceline reminisces about how she'd convince PB to ditch meetings and be rebellious. At the end, Marceline watches the pumpkins so PB can rest. The idea is that Marceline has learned to be responsible and show concern for the things PB cares about. That's why they're able to date again; Marceline has become more responsible, and PB has become less controlling.

The same principle applies to her relationship with Ice King. She moved around a lot to avoid him, but during the show, she stops running from her past with him and tries to empathize with him instead.

No, this is the 3rd attempted boycott on Genshin. They'll cry for a month and continue playing and the cycle wil repeat. Most of the people complaining aren't even encouraging others to quit the game but just to go F2P and whine on Twitter kek.

>>2104146
What controversy?

>>2104864
i don't really go to genshin twitter but apparently they've released an african zone (or chapter?) and none of the characters are darker than beige. but i think maybe it will (maybe, hopefully) have an impact on the playerbase as a lot of the posts i'm seeing are people outright saying they're going to quit

>>2104520
i feel sorry for kids nowadays that they cant just enjoy anime in a simple manner anymore. Constantly tying to apply politics and morality to each piece of media you consume must wear on the mind eventually.
Feel lucky that the only way i couldve talked to other anime fans back in the day was through deviantart or actual conventions irl.

I don’t think anon was being asshurt, just pointing out how it’s like the pot calling the kettle black there.

This dad would either be cold af to a potential boyfriend or try to get UNCOMFORTABLY close with him, there's no inbetween.

>>2099721
I can't remember if I saw the quote on lc or elsewhere but this is that thing where dads and daughters bully their mom together and the daughter doesnt even realize she'll be in that same position when she's older

>>2099721
>>2103327
"Often father and daughter look down on mother (woman) together. They exchange meaningful glances when she misses a point. They agree that she is not bright as they are, cannot reason as they do. This collusion does not save the daughter from the mother's fate." - Bonnie Burstow.

The father is probably the cool, chill, fun parent because all the annoying parts of raising a child were thrown onto the mother. Not to mention this Freud super-example >>2099728

Oh the realization as soon as she births the first child from a moid that secretly hates her will be painful.

Her whole account is just biting this kittens ear

>>2104685
Doctors are just glorified drug dealers

>>2104699
Nta but I think for some people it's actually a lack of freedom that causes it, or at least in my situation it definitely did.

>>2104746
Me too. I was expected to follow a certain path, forced to go through schooling etc. that absolutely crushed my spirit and joy for life and left me a husk because I was so different. I had to put my natural interests aside to "integrate into society" and it was painful and in the end didn't even work. So what was all that suffering for?

>>2104746
its the downfalling state of the economy, most people are freaking out and don't know where the future is going. Many adults are resorting to moving back home with toxic family, they have to put marriage and children on hold, those who are supporting themselves 100% often have to delay going back to school because they need to work so many hours to keep a roof, dreams thrown out the door

Mikaela Testa. Found out about her from her ugly clothing collab where she made tshirts with her tits on them. Only famous for being a sex worker and having botox and filler. She’s around 24 years old I think? And brags about her 18 year old bf when she looks like she’s in her 30s too. Basically only lives for the male gaze

hate how zoomers type, some shitty approximation of black american speech + unfunny observations + emojis

I'm damn proud of it too

True, it makes them look so retarded, I avoid these motherfuckers like the plague

I tried crumbl cookies one time because someone ordered a ton of them at a party and it was absolutely disgusting and did also give me diarrhea so I guess your recipe must've been spot on.

>>2104154
They’re gross I don’t understand the hype around them outside of it being a trend. Also the company is weirdly Mormon and hires primarily from local Mormon congregations which just adds to the bad vibes for me

>>2090732
Thanks nona. I ended up getting all the ingredients and making one at home but it was a huge disappointment. Not sure what I did wrong. I found and bought the special bread used for it at my Asian grocery store too, but it was from frozen and I didn't notice it already came with a bunch of fillings like fishcake, plus the pate and carrots until I was done baking it. I tried adding all ingredients I bought and prepared anyway but wonder if I didn't just overfill it in the process. Plus, I was using defrosted cha lua and old cilantro. Maybe I should have used fresher ingredients.

>>2104112
they kinda look like lofthouse cookies

I got my wisdom teeth removed and I’m so depressed. I miss food so much. What I wouldn’t give to eat some cheesy mozarella pizza. I’m scrolling through food on pinterest with TEARS in my eyes
