nona do 10 pushups right fucking now. get a hold of yourself. if you're sick of your own bullshit, wake up tomorrow and do it differently. it doesn't matter what you change, just change it and stop doing the same stuff over and over again when you know it makes you miserable.

>I was literally browsing this site at 19 feeling like shit and I’m still the same miserable fuck 6-7 years later
That's what you get by frying your brain by reading the spiteful drivel on here all day.
in all seriousness though, do you want to be 36 and penniless and without any job experience? look into any kind of volunteering opportunity that interests you and that you have the skills for. It's better than being home all day. you people act like it's the end of the world when you're 26 but there's people in there late '50s and '60s out there who lost all their money for some reason or another (It's usually related to becoming disabled and unable to pay your bills) and those people have far worse physical health than most of you. I mean I don't want to talk as if I am personally looking forward to aging I do not want to get to 40 myself, tbqh but watching the documentary where a former white collar man loses his job and he can't get any other like not even minimum wage work other than working part-time cleaning a church is pretty freaking depressing. It's the lost American dream with Lisa ling, btw. tons of working-class people in towns that don't have jobs for the college educated end up as forklift drivers and shit like that. unfortunately some of the only kind of work that pays enough where you can have a mortgage and not depend on like two to three roommates. but my neighbor was a forklift driver till he had a stroke like several years ago, before COVID and he can barely talk now. he has to go to physical therapy classes.

I cant fucking take it anymore the internet used to be my one safe space and place where I could be alone and now I can't talk or see anyone. I'm so scared and upset

Sometimes just some oil and soy sauce does the trick. Other times chilli sauce/sweet and sour sauce. It's versatile so anything works. The former plus some homemade pickled cabbage over rice and some black bean soup is my peak meal

I bought the big cheez-its. It's obviously just bigger versions of the normal cheez-its, but I think the size makes them more flavorful. I still want to try the puffed ones.

I have not a morsel in my abode, so I'm eating melted peanut butter with powdered sugar on top.

I'm drinking tea with no sugar. I feel like a hippie.

I like water

this is a good way of looking at it

I keep getting content that suggests "neurodivergent" people all have echolalia, or just immediately jump on repeating/continuing the sound a person makes. Like they start singing a song and the "neurodivergent" person joins in or copies it immediately. Is it an ADHD thing? Or just a faker thing? And yes ALL of them making the videos are of course high functioning, the one that set me off was behind the wheels driving her car. Which I can't do, due to having autism.

I would never do that. My multiple autist friends have never done anything like it. My ADHD friends have never done it. Are we all just outliers? It's seemingly the trait of the day because now everyone online has it. The few people I can think of who did something like that with sound were normies without any kind of disorders at all. Usually they were people who liked to sing in general.

>>2470546
Samfagging but the same videos always suggest if you don't repeat/continue the sound you're neurotypical. They say things like "this should be included in the assessment", "we all do it". Clearly we all do not?!

>>2470546
I think those are people who get the majority if not all of their medical information from Tiktok and similar platforms. No one I know does that, myself included.

Sometimes i wonder if every other autist online isn't really just someone with pervasive social anxiety, including myself.
>>2428177
>that autists are apparently unable to feel loneliness
I don't feel it instantly, on a day-to-day basis i quite like it but then it will dawn on me how little contact i get and how i wish i was able to connect better. It's like accumulating a debt. I feel like this with social retardation too, in the moment it feels great to not give a fuck but then i have to live with the consequences

das pull theme zum April fools macht mich nostalgisch - was für Seiten aus dem oldweb vermisst ihr so, Nonnen? hab damals im RTL2 Chat zum ersten Mal mit anderen weebs gechattet und das hat meine Internetsucht gestartet. später war ich dann auf myblog und knuddels aktiv, bis irgendwann fanfiktion.de und Animexx dazukamen. ich frage mich manchmal, was aus den ganzen Leuten von früher geworden ist.

>>2470073
Myblog und Animexx war ich auch, was ich wirklich vermisse sind die kleinen Foren. Ich war in einigen Foren zu verschiedenen Themen und ich fand das einfach viel schöner als diese riesigen Social Media Sachen, wo einzelne Personen, die interessant sein könnten, sowieso untergehen.

>>2470393
ohja, das kann ich gut nachvollziehen. ich war jahrelang im simforum aktiv und hatte da viele nette bekannte. war irgendwie schön, dass man so spezifische Freundschaften schließen konnte. heutzutage muss man ja fast 100% viben, sonst wird da nix draus mit engerem Kontakt. ach, und troonism gab's damals noch nicht.

>>2470073
meine internetsucht begann mit einem deutschen animal crossing forum, ich hab allerdings leider keine idee mehr, wie das hieß. das muss so um 2008/2009 rum gewesen sein. kann mich nur noch dran erinnern, dass die admina irgendwas mit fuchs im usernamen hatte und ihre lore war, dass ihr mann wohl angeblich bei 9/11 gestorben ist kek. vermisse diese forenkultur auch sehr. auf pull war ich auch und bin dadurch auf lc gestoßen. die einzigen foren, die ich heute noch frequentiere, sind so der über autismus scheiß wie gbatemp, oder wenn man richtig hinab in den abgrund blicken will, dann everave mit so perlen von threads wie "Masturbationssucht auf Amphetaminen zerstört mein Leben"

>>2470393
ich vermisse es nach cons durch die animexx event galerien zu klicken und leute auf unvorteilhaften fotos zu petzen

Yeah it definitely feels like we're in some kind of bubble or teetering on the edge of a recession and nobody wants to be the first to admit it. No companies are actually hiring, or if they are, they are hiring juniors or H1B1 workers way below average salary. Ditto with the resume thing. I've adjusted my resume countless times, added keywords, tested in with ATS and watched those 'how to improve your resume' videos kek and nothing seems to work. Gotta just keep looking I suppose, it's really just a number game with how many fake listings and recruiters shilling their own companies despite having no work

>>2469294
>i have a feeling none of these jobs are real and all of the listings online are fake jobs
This is done on purpose. If a company has a "necessary" position that they can't fill, they receive tax breaks from the government. What ends up happening is that companies abuse this by having eternally empty job positions that aren't meant to be filled. To keep up the pretense, they'll advertise these positions to hire on popular job boards and accept resumes and sometimes even interviews, but it's all just to scam the government for tax reasons.

There’s this one job listing on the website of a specialised employment agency I’m signed up with that’s been online for almost 6 months now. It’s in my town, which is rare because most companies of this nature are in the next town over, and it’s something I am 100% qualified for and have several years of experience in. I applied but didn’t receive a confirmation email, and the website was acting up and appeared to have deleted my account so I registered a second time (with the same email address) a week later and applied again, then received two separate rejection emails several weeks apart claiming that I wasn’t qualified for this position. It’s still online six months later and pops up in every job search alert I have set up at least twice a week. I’ve asked around and nobody can figure out which company this could be, because there aren’t many institutions doing this particular kind of research in my town and the few that exist wouldn’t use a recruitment agency. I’m starting to feel like I’m being catfished, like this is the job searcher equivalent of those Hot Singles In Your Area adverts.

What really drives me up the wall is that so many people I know (who’ve been consistently employed for the last decade at least) are insisting that it should be totally easy to find a job and everyone’s hiring. Source: their ass, I’m guessing. One of these people let herself get memed into quitting her job and taking a year off for ‘self care’ and I’m so anxious on her behalf, because her job is in the kind of field that’s especially subject to budget cuts and layoffs. The job she had was relatively safe because she was so senior but now she’s thrown that away to play at being a housewife instead.

Technically we have been in a recession by most traditional metrics for several years now, but I was a teenager during the 2008 recession and I don't remember it being that bad. I heard some upperclassmen complaining about it but it wasn't 'apply for 100+ jobs per month and get zero interviews' bad. It does feel like something has permanently shifted about the ways jobs are even advertised, tbh. I tried all the 'hacks' with the ATS checkers, changing keywords every single time I submit my resume, trying different layouts etc. but nothing seems to make any difference even though I've overwhelmingly been applying to jobs I'm technically qualified for and which can't be receiving THAT many applications.

>>2470128
>>2470146
I'm so sure a lot of them aren't fake companies or anything like that, and I wonder if it's possible for the job listings themselves to be fake in many cases because many are companies with good reputations but I'll see them reposting the same job listing for 6 months in a row at this point, have every single hard and soft qualification in their list and get ghosted or some generic 'you were not chosen at this time' rejection email. So clearly they're not filling the position with some nepo hire either, they keep reposting the same job.

does anyone do dropshipping?

>>2468432
i hope she does too but i think she won't unless something very drastic happens to peak her out of it. semi-related, i hate the way TIFs like her talk about joan of arc. she wasn't a man because she dressed as such, and she wasn't ever a man at all.

speaking of gc buttons i made a chiikawa stamp inspired by the 2X stamps. if anyones interested I can make stamps of other characters from chiikawa

>>2472072
Oh this is too cute. More please!

>>2472081
Thank you! Heres a hatchi.
I hope to make a site to have chiikawa themed stamps/pixels once I get supporter status again

I feel like if pull still existed this would have been a very popular thread there since they loved talking about racefishers and rcta.

I only have anecdotal evidence for this but I’ve met more than 1 Filipino person who larped as being native Hawaiian and since then anytime someone online claims to be Hawaiian I strongly suspect it’s someone larping lol

Is that the lady behind that shitty Velma cartoon?

As much of a cow as she is, the hatred she got was not proportionate to the crime. I don't think Dolezal was being opportunistic, it just seems like she's genuinely mentally ill. Imagine how much better society would be if rapists were de-personed as hard as this lady was. She can't even make a living selling pictures of her pussy because racism, but a rapist gets to be president? Ffs.

>>2461560
of course

>Marine le Pen has been BARRED from public office, with immediate effect for alleged embezzlement
I feel like this is going to go badly. All this does is give her supporters more reasons to rally behind her and makes them feel emboldened, as if they've been 'put down' by the state, which will incentivize them to destroy it

>>2470230
Damned if you do, damned if you don't kind of situation. At least they're trying to hold her accountable unlike the lawless amerifats kek.

>>2470270
>At least they're trying to hold her accountable unlike the lawless amerifats kek.
Agreed. They went light on persecuting Trump and looked what happened in the US kek

I fucking hate mustard. If mayonnaise has mustard in it it can die.

I really love spicy ketchup!! Sometimes I crank salt into my mouth too kek

>>2469322
Honestly I’m relieved to hear this isn’t just me. I’ve always snuck little bits of condiments and spices by themselves! Whenever I use chili crisp I always do a final little dip so I can lick it off the spoon, and I grew up licking garlic salt out of the palm of my hand

i used to be repulsed by all condiments when i was a kid, hated the sight of them. now i enjoy all of the common ones (ketchup, mustard, mayo, relish), but in moderation. i don't have them often but i enjoy it here and there. i don't know if i could pick a favorite but they are a nice addition if you wanna kick it up a notch with your food. does vinegar count as a condiment? if it does, that's my favorite. i also really like when you mix ketchup and mayo

Branston Pickle is an amazing condiment.

Ho fatto un paio di ricerche in pausa pranzo per noia e ho trovato un subreddit di uomini che si chiamano Luna. Si creano gli stereotipi da soli, sono dei geni. https://www.reddit.com/r/transfemmesnamedluna/
Hanno rotto il cazzo per tanti anni con Karen, finalmente c'è un corrispettivo, mi dispiace solo che sia un nome così carino ma lo vedo come il loro personale cartellino rosso per evitarlo, d'ora in poi me ne guarderò altamente dalle varie "Luna" online

Porcoddio credevo fossero tutti morti.
Qualcuno invece sa che fine ha fatto il contabile? non si è ancora ammazzato?

Il nuovo ragazzo di Shanti o ha 20 anni o è una donna.
Quello non è il corpo di un ragazzo sui 30 anni, pure le mani mi sanno di ragazzino o da donna.

Beh, quando un ragazzo con forti turbe psichiche che mette le proprie delicatezze e debolezze online si ammazza per queste turbe psichiche è colpa degli altri, giusto?

Borderline stupro ma rendiamolo woke. I TRAs fanno paura.
Dirlo alla persona che si sta frequentando è il minimo indispensabile, anche quando si tratta di un rapporto occasionale almeno secondo me, ma si aprirebbe un discorso diverso.
Tutti questi discorsi del cazzo li fanno perché sono consapevoli che molte persone normali, che non sono ritardati come loro, non perderebbe tempo sin dall’inizio. Poi rido perché la maggior parte dei TRAs stessi, a meno che non siano gendies, non hanno come prima scelta i travestiti kek.
