also can we get this thread to snow? i feel like this thread would be more active if it was on snow.

I got curious and watched a couple of her videos. It's sad she felt the need to bleach/racefish because I find her really charming.

>>2633031
This is how she looked like before. She went from a lightslin black woman to rcta white.

I'm guessing she is in her 40's? If so then it makes sense why she bleached and had ps because she grew up during a time when many female black celebrities hated themselves and were bleaching like Lil Kim.

>>2633248
Holy shit! It's uncanny

>>2633248
Genuinely so sad. Your Lil Kim point makes a ton of sense, too.

>>2633138
I love that, feels so classy and sexy! I go kind of the opposite direction and get really frilly ones that make me feel like royalty.

Does any anon know a copycat product/recipe for these parmesan crisps from trader joes? They were discontinued multiple years ago and while I've tried making them at home I haven't been able to recreate it.

How do you even make an hemorrhoid go away? it’s so embarrassing I swear. I hate it.

What would you do if you were accused of shoop? I was reading a thread on /w/ and saw some nonas pointing out someone's supposed failed shoop and I was thinking
>Wait. My waist is uneven like that…
I guess it's probably best to ignore it, but I feel like I'd be the type of cow to post video proof, kek.

>>2633184
it will probably be there forever unless you get it cut off. But if you find out what foods upset your bowls you can keep it small and not flared up. It can be even stuff like bread that's doing it, the most important is to fix your bacteria and find out what not to eat.

NAYRT I’ve been avoiding this thread because I don’t want to make myself sad (I have avpd) but I used to watch a bunch of videos about avpd and limerence by a female psychologist on youtube I believe? I can’t remember the channel name. They were pretty helpful but it made me so depressed to realize that about myself.

Not everything is a disorder. Maybe I'm just like this and there's nothing wrong with me.

>>2613678
Based, there's nothing wrong with us. People will screw you over. Took years to trust the handful of people I trust. Non-avoidant people will go around handing the keys to their mental health and happiness to someone they met a couple months ago. All carelessly and willy-nilly. Then they're surprised when they get their hearts stomped on. No sir-ee, that reckless shit is not for me.

Perfectly happy keeping everyone at a huge distance until I feel OK, and those who tell me I have to express every single thought and emotion out loud and if I don't I'm broken? Naw losers it's smart to keep yourself as safe as you want to be

Have you always been like this? When did you start showing symptoms?

is there any hope for a long term relationship? also how do you deal with potential partners and friends wanting to have ""deep"" conversations and them thinking you don't care about them when you don't want to talk about your feelings?

>>2621657
Because he's fucking terrifying and makes my anxiety spike. I'm sure other nonas also don't want to spend more time in threads that are pure fight or flight fuel.

>>2633140
I like listening to her vlogs as a background when I get ready, but i admit is pretty obvious that she is struggling behind the camera, making the videolisten a bit awkward sometimes. Do you have any recommendations on similar fem youtubers, nonna?
i also agree about her thread. I dont like videos she does with moids (so i skip them), but other than that she seems "okay" to me. Just a troubled woman that moved to Japan from her family.

>>2633166
Silvie is the only channel of that kind I've ever really watched before. I watch some vlogs from Japanese and Korean women though that are really calming and prettily edited. They don't usually speak and play soft music over their footage, a couple I like are Namis Life and Her 86m2

seeing pics like this makes me so sad, all of the clothes on the right are so beautiful. i hope one day the world wakes up & realizes how evil this religion is but it'll never happen because women deal with the brunt of it & there will always be people defending it no matter what.

>>2632113
This exact same thing has happened to community nona. I’m from West African Muslim country and everyone used to be more chill on religion. Only a couple of aunties would wear hijabs but now I’ve seen several burqa wearing women. It’s jarring to see women wear burqas and niqabs when they don’t even wear them in my parents home country. Little girls would wear dresses and shorts to the community barbecues but now they all wear hijabs and abayas. It’s sad that my generation of girls were the least policed on their clothing choices. A mosque being built in the community was the nail in the coffin. Most of the kids go to the Quran school on the weekend.

>>2632123
That makes sense for the younger people since they're always online and are probably bombarded with Islamic propaganda and nagging from those over-the-top UK muslims kek. But I don't understand why the adults (parents, aunties and uncles) got so into it. They were never online and since they were all chill about religion, there was no one to pressure them into being religious. The few super religious people back then were actually judged for being too uptight but now everyone became like that. It's so strange to me…
>>2632706
I know right? The people defending it are always these western liberals with one brainwashed Muslim friend who lives a cushy privileged life. What about all the ex-Muslim women living and suffering in Muslim countries? No one ever talks about them and it pisses me off.
>>2632874
That sounds miserable nona… it's strange that the same thing happened to so many different ethnic diasporas at around the same time. I seriously wonder what the cause is.
>jarring to see women wear burqas and niqabs when they don’t even wear them in my parents home country
Same here, when we went to my parents' home country, the women were wearing either western clothing or our own culture's clothing. Hardly any burqas to be seen. I can't believe third worlders were more chill about religion than the people in my area. None of my cousins had Arabic names either. Meanwhile, the amount of Muhammads and Abduls where I live is astounding.

>>2632113
Yes and no, it's like my current generation is divided into insecure second or third generation North Africans with an identity crisis who use islam as a crutch to feel closer to their "culture", or they don't really care besides believing a god created the universe, avoiding pork and fasting during ramadan.

The first group is annoying as fuck, you can't do anything without them judging and pestering you if they guess you're "supposed" to be muslim. Some of these young women are even weirding out their parents who were a lot more moderate and who don't want their daughters to wear the hijab but these women wear it anyway and treat their personal choice like it's a choice for every muslim women on earth. The issue is that you can almost never know at first glance who's in the first or second category so I avoid everyone in general in my everyday life just like you except when it's impossible, like at work where some of my coworkers ask me stupid questions all the time like if I cook dinner for everyone during ramadan despite me saying all the time that I don't fast and never will. Now the kind of funny thing is that the more insane religious ones here seem to be considered extremists in North Africa by people from the same age range from what I've seen online, and you often have younger people from the diaspora in Europe, mostly France, who visit Morocco, Tunisia or Algeria to "feel closer to their muslim roots" because they don't know their own relatives there or just because it's cheap and they keep bitching that women don't all wear the hijab or that women wear swimsuits in swimming pools or at the beach.

When these tards try to be influencers online I mostly see other regular muslims treating them like retards in the replies and comments when they have shit takes related to marriage, sex, women in general, raising children, which parties/holidays are allowed and if women and men are allowed to celebrate and dance together, makeup and fashion, politics, money, extreme mommy issues, the dowry men are supposed to give to women when getting married, if women should also pay their share during dates, etc.

>>2633108
comments on muslim influencer tiktoks are such a mess, especially when its a woman's account. its typically just a bunch of men policing her & judging her for her appearance or nitpicking something she says. when its a dude the complaints are a lot more subtle/nonexistent. but remember, this religion is soooo feminist you guys!! also, this is somewhat irrelevant but its so cringe to me when they throw out random arabic words and phrases, it feels so extra but i understand in some contexts when its a specific phrase i guess.

oh my god nona du catchade oss verkligen, så cringe av oss

Ska tipsa henne om det! Blir så ledsen för hennes och andra lesbiskas skull som måste låtsas vara ok med politiska åsikter de inte stöttar om de ska vara del av något lgb-sammanhang. Det är jobbigt nog som det är att kvinnors utrymmen har blivit invaderade av transor, men kan inte ens föreställa mig hur det är att få sina ännu mer begränsade utrymmen för att träffa jämlikar har blivit övertagna av de män som fetisherar hela ens existens… och ovanpå det tvingas bevittna hur världen blir allt mer konservativ som resultat. Vi pratar mycket om det och det gör så ont i hela mitt hjärta att det ska vara såhär 2025. Hade någon frågat mig hur framtiden skulle se ut 2005 hade jag förväntat mig att vi skulle ha gått mer framåt, inte ta ett par smygsamma steg fram och sen ett stort bakåt.

Vad fan är det här ens? Hur bedöms skiten ens? Vem som har flest partners? Hur många de gjort besvikna? Hur många brädspel de har hemma? VARFÖR HAR DE ENS EN FÖRENING
För att citera min vän som skickade detta till mig:
"När man trodde att polymänniskor omöjligen kunde ta sig längre upp i sina egna rövar börjar de jävlarna ge varandra utmärkelser under pride"
Pride är verkligen ett långt kast från vad det en gång var. Tragiskt.

>>2632253
lmao så äckligt! Båda är män som ger varandra pris i vem som kan manipulera flest personer till att ligga med dem

I hate it for the dogs too. Untrained over-reactive dogs are usually stressed and lack self assurance because no one's taught them that the random things they're barking at aren't dangerous and are fine actually.

>>2607780
>Dogs bark for various reasons, and different types of barks can indicate different emotions or needs. Common types include alert barks, play barks, demand barks, territorial barks, anxious barks, and attention-seeking barks. Understanding the context and characteristics of each bark can help owners better understand their dog's communication
>Barking for fun:
>Some dogs bark when they are playing or excited, suggesting they find it enjoyable in those situations.
Some dogs are just born assholes anon

One of my neighbors has been doing midnight hobby woodwork the last two years, and now another one has decided that five in the morning is the perfect time to start home renovations. What's the point of town quiet hours when nobody fucking follows them?

My neighbor upstairs has her bedroom directly above mine so I'm usually on the receiving end of the audio of her having sex, but she was so exaggeratedly loud yesterday night even my brother heard her, and our rooms aren't even next to each other. Her moans weren't even porny anymore, it sounded more like ones people do for pranks.

til the fat liberation movement was basically started by a small handful of men who were open about the fact they had sexual fetishes for fatness.

>>2629838
how the fuck is a tiny line more obscene than a whole cock and balls out? the sexism is crazy

>>2632797
Men are obsessed with their own penis. The grown ass woman should have pubic hair anyway. It's all bullshit

>>2629838
They think women are barbie dolls? Calling women's genitals obscene or offensive, which aren't even on grand display like men, is the epitome of sexism. Fuck you, Nasa

Going to social engineer myself into someone’s IG close friends story. Will report back after I’m successful.

Is there a way for someone to anonymously view instagram stories on a private account? Say you WERE following them, is there a chrome plug-in that you could type the @ into and view their story without them noticing? I used to have a plug-in like this for follower/ing and as long as I was logged in the plug-in could rip the data and show me their lists even if they were private.
