It'd drive home how ugly and undesirable they really are. Personally i think they should just admit to being homosexuals and live laugh love themselves into AIDs.

He has a video of himself shoving stuff up his ass. Not a joke for real kek.

Exactly, how are they supposed to maintain the larp of being superior to women if they date a looksmatch who doesn't have the social credits to enable their delusional fantasies?

NTA genderism is conservative traditional gender roles but hip and woke.

Opinions on TikTok being banned in the US? Sucks to lose a lot of great short form content you can find, once you get through the hoard of stuff made by teenagers and children (rip to the potential milk too)

Honestly I don't think it's a good idea for artists to move to RedNote the way a lot of casual American TikTok users are doing, because it's full of AI slop and I am pretty sure there is no way to filter that shit. Are any artists here moving to YouTube Shorts now?

I've been a mod to a few zines before and I can guarantee you that being "woke" and political opinions/what someone RTs or doesn't RT is nearly meaningless in the screening process for acceptances, at most one mod or two may check the applicant's social media to make sure they're not a pedo or whatever, but during an app screening our eyes are almost fully on what you're showing us on your portfolio. It sounds more like you don't know how to properly market or showcase yourself for a zine application.

Zine mods prioritize, above all, fanart and certain aesthetics and themes that are in line with what the project's about and tailoring a portfolio selection that caters exactly to that zine's theme is one way to drastically increase your chances. So for example you app for a Sailor Moon zine but your portfolio/the art you're showcasing is 90% composed of male characters from other series, you'll most likely get declined. "Oh but I know how to draw women and I did draw Sailor Moon fanart here and there, just look into my portfolio!" zine mods don't search around too much, we look at the general. That's why it's important to tailor your portfolio to match the zine's themes, aka make a drive folder and select specific drawings that are more in line with what the zine is about. This is no guarante but it'll increase your chances a lot.

There's also the fact that unfortunately maybe your art's aesthetic just isn't what the mods are looking for. I've declined many artists that I admit were very skilled but their art had a style and general presentation that would clash too much with the zine's general aesthetic.

I say this as someone who used to be a nobody and who got declined from zines a couple of times before I finally managed to get accepted into more and more of them: when apping for a zine don't look a your art purely for what it is. Regardless if it's good or bad, if another applicant shows up who has portfolio samples that match the zine's theme and aesthetic much better than yours the mods will favor that person even if they're clearly an amateur. Tailor your portfolio to match the zine's style, if it's a zine about a specific series try to prioritize adding fanart of that series, etc. The mods usually don't give a shit if you have pronouns in bio or not.

Imagine if there was only one comic con for an entire year, that's literally what she wants. Even if she was the first to host a month long digital comics fair, there's literally zero harm in others doing the same for other months. Reminds me of when Jake Parker tried to copyright Inktober like he now owns the concept of month long inking challenges. The ego of successful artists is their most insufferable quality.

Part of me wants to believe we are in the "get worse" phase of "things get wrose before they get better". The evidence for that is non-zero I think. Zuck had his recent heal turn but it seems like nobody's buying it. I don't think people are actually gonna start coming back to facebook after this. In fact I think him signaling to chuds they are welcome again will accelerate the decline because it's very obvious they are still going to censor people militantly. Also I don't support the tiktok ban but being real, the platform is horrid. It has no redeeming qualities unless you're a gooner moid. I doubt Google is going to be successful in fighting off the legal scrutiny they are facing. We will probably see them get broken up.
I am not "optimistic" per say but I don't think the future for social media is looking bright.

>>2345254
I wish I could agree. There is no interest in protecting the right and privacy of citizens, everything is about advertising, collecting data, and skirting work to cut corners and pump out as much revenue as possible. Closed communities dedicated to exploitation and abuse thrive and prosper online, there is far easier access to near-invisible tech that further facilitates the abuse and exploitation of women and children. I don't think it will get better anywhere near soon, not for many years.

I don't know where else to post this, but I'm a small-time voice actor in my country's indie game scene, and because of ai voices, my job is essentially dead at this point. I have had no new vo roles in the past six months, thankfully this was never my main source of income, but it's so frustrating. If you are on the low to mid-end of the voice acting industry, you are screwed

>>2346901

I used to sell very small amounts of stock art on a large website. It was peanuts, but every other month or so it would brighten my morning to see an email that I had gotten a payment. It was my fun little passive income stream. Now I get nothing. I don't think I've had a payment in a year.

You can't fix the senile whore. Only thing you can do is leave her to rot in a nursing home so she can experience now nice men are.

>>2347207
>sounds like elder abuse
Which is exactly what she deserves. She can enjoy her foetid bedsores and her piss soaked mattress when her time comes.
You’ll get out of there soon nonny, I believe in you.

ATAYRT. At first I thought maybe some of these responses were going too far, but now maybe not. I truly appreciate your support nonnas, its refreshing to see some sanity.

Was running errands when the boymom did another sexist rant saying "these elderly widow bitches are the worst", about our neighbors. Just because they like to talk, and once gossiped about our property not being fixed, ever (my brother never fixes things, only does useless truck remodeling). I calmly replied, the worst are the men being threatening and breaking into places nearby. Mom got mad at me for not also being sexist and hating our female neighbors.

This convo started because the other day, when a moid (possibly hired by a neighbor for manual labor), repeatedly harassed and intimidated us and other neighbors, revving his engine, acting like he wants to drive into our home. This happens once in a while, at random hours of the night, for about half an hour, random days. He/another moid doing the same behavior damaged some of our lawn.

So naturally my mom blames the woman neighbor for "putting him up to it", and wants to throw water on her sidewalk so it freezes, to punish her. I calmly tried to talk her out of it, saying the man should be blamed for his actions. Mom started getting angry at me, as if I was defending the neighbor, who she called her enemy lol. I was tired of this. I was angry back at her, but wasnt rude, just walking fast and avoiding talking to her.

Now the boymom is claiming Im the one who was angry, and is avoiding me, while ranting to her son who agrees with her sexist rant.

I cant do this anymore. I want to make a fucking snack but theyre both in the kitchen. Why does moving out have to be prohibitively expensive.

When I was around 4, my older brother enjoyed antagonizing me to the point I would push or pinch him. Then he ran to our boymom and told on me. Mom told him to hit me back, as if hes an abused victim. I just remembered this the other week, and it bothers me daily. Years ago, my brother randomly mentioned me doing this, in front of the boymom and other family members, to make me look bad and him innocent. Disturbing that he still seethes about it when hes almost 40.

Years ago, I was having health issues, was vomiting and couldnt keep most foods down for a long time. I didnt know what it was. I assumed it was a bad flu (it was serious, I ended up needing an ultrasound). I asked mom where the humidifier was. She told me, then asked why, I said why. Then mom refused to let me use the humidifier, because "that belongs to [brothers name]". The humidifier wasnt even in my brothers room or anything, it was in the hall among other clutter, so I thought anyone could use it. This betrayal was shocking to me, as she was usually good at helping me with health issues. Sadly, the humidifier was later taken apart for cleaning, and some of the digital chip parts were lost, so now no one can use it. Oh well.

Total boymum death

"Gooning" is a dogwhistle used by "early porn indoctrination" pedophiles like Gigglygoonclown, where they want people to consume worse and worse porn because of it. So it was weird seeing it turned into a joke over time, just without that context.
I think most people only think of it as a goofy term for masturbating a lot. Picrel, found this user's entries on urbandictionary and the top one being heavily downvoted shows the disconnect. Either way, why do they find mass-porn-addiction so funny?
And it's suspicious to me how it infested those "brainrot" memes which are specifically popular among kids.

>>2077745
I'm a millennial and I don't know who the fuck this woman is.

>>2351744
gooning did not start as a dog whistle for whatever the fuck you are saying. there was a gooning subreddit way before gigglyclownwhatever were on anyones radar, where men would post their porn dungeons. it started as a weird sub community for porn addicts. stop with your weird ass conspiracy explanations

I hate the whole "Is whatever in the room with us now??" Everytime some retard uses it his/hers minion retards laugh and i've only seen troons and faggots use it anyway. Jesus fucking christ just talk normally to people. Don't take every chance to demean them like you're an insecure 14yearold.

Sir this is a Wendy's

>>2351343
I might. I'm not sure what to say tbh… I think we would get along well based off of the SM I found. "Hey I saw you on TV and think you're cute, want to get coffee?"
>>2351366
kek no he's a professor. He has a physical mail address for work which is the only reason I am considering sending him mail at all.

>>2351411
Please send him that email

Help I came here just to post about him. Stupid fucking old man I want to tear his skin off and turn him into a pair of leather boots. I hate him and his stupid nepobaby bitch girlfriend holy fucking shit I want to beat her to death with an iron rod, and I would do the same to you anon you can't even spell his name right. I've fantasized about meeting him at cons and him falling in love with me and we run away together and with the combined power of my extant autism and his expired sperm to have his ultra-tard babies.

For the majority of my life I have had zero interest in real moids opting to become a based husbandofag, but alas now I am cringe. Fuck I just had to watch that fucking show. I love Homelander so much I'm literally shaking right now. I wasn't even attracted to him physically at first but as I slowly caught feelings for him as a character I now think he's the most beautiful person I've ever laid eyes on. Having a live action husbando is fucking ass I cannot seperate him from the actor. It hurts me so badly knowing that everyone who's been on set has gotten to be in the same room as him and I never will. The physical intimacy on screen actually happened. I know it's not real-real but it's at least half real. It's physically possible for me touch him unlike my 2D husbandos of past and it drives me insane because it will never ever happen. Why must I love someone I can't have. I would do anything to get to hold him in my arms, feeding him milk while he looks up at me with those beautiful blue eyes. I've changed everything about myself for him. I want to save up money to get a custom-made sex doll of him. I tried on dresses at david's bridal because I want to someday soon buy a wedding dress and marry a cardboard cutout of him.

I did a mail-in signing thing where I sent him a piece of yume art I made to sign. On it I taped a letter explaining to him how much Homelander means to me. He didn't even read it. When everything got mailed back it was still taped exactly how I had sent it. I never wanted to kms more than in that moment. I'm probably the most pathetic person in this entire thread.

>>2351425
>I want to beat her to death with an iron rod
Starr probably already does that himself considering his violent allegations

>>2351430
I'm jealous of the guy he beat up it should've been me

>>2350802
Reading that and claiming she's a man repressing it is ridiculous. Were mixed race people who passed as white and gay people who stayed closested secretly white or straight? People who are actually in oppressed groups are tempted to opt out because discrimination fucking sucks.

This threadpic and the new one are awful

nonas who use imginn regularly, why isn't it showing me a specific person's follower count and their stories? They're not private and it used to show me their stuff before.

Is there any way to pull up old Vines? Are they really considered lost media now?

I recently became a bit obsessed with a fairly unknown actor - yesterday I managed to figure out his exact address from 3 videos and 3 photos from his social media. I've found the zillow ad for the house he rents, I know what his bathroom tile looks like, and what schools his kids probably attend in a really major city half way across the world from me. It was insanely fun, and I don't feel particularly bad about it, but I kind of feel like he should know that it's possible to deduce that much about his life from his otherwise sparse social media presence. I'm sure I'd like to know if that was possible with my internet presence, so I could delete all the clues.

the fuck are you implying? if you watched all the videos you would had saw that they all failed according the the photo with no explaination you sent. bitch.(learn2reply/use the right thread)

how can you set up a second facebook under a fake name and not get locked out and not get asked to send an id. i don't know how i keep messing this up.

Thank you nonna, I am home now safe and sound! There were a lot of people and it went without any major incidents that I know of. I am hopeful for the future free of cancer that is plaguing our country

Oh I fucking hated when I still had to deal with dealers. You already know they didn’t forget, they just decided to go get fucked up with friends.

Nonnas, I need advice. I took a year long break from smoking after being a daily stoner because I had a pretty bad weed panic attack. I wanted to start again just for 1-2 evenings a week because I really miss watching dumb shit while high. But I can't bring myself to. I get extreme anxiety right before I light one up, so I put it away and tell myself I'm not in the right headspace every single time.

Is it over for me? Will I never be able to smoke again? Yeah I should be happy that I don't have a big enough desire to toke, but damn I miss it. I guess I'm just wondering if anyone has experienced something similar.

>>2350882
Tbh I wish I was like you. I want to give up smoking because it’s made me sedentary. If weed makes you paranoid enough to quit I don’t think you should take it again personally. It can exacerbate mental illness. I know this is a mood killer but I wish someone told me that instead of hyping it up as a drug with 0 side effects. I just don’t want you to end up like me. High in her room afraid of human interaction kek.

>>2350882
I took a bit of a break after I had a panic attack too, there's nothing to do but just bite the bullet and do it if you really want get back into it, but if it's stressing you out this much then just don't?

>>2350882
Well if you really wanna smoke again, maybe just wait and see if in the future the anxiety dissipates. You’ve got plenty of time to get high nona.

>>2350909
>I wish someone told me that instead of hyping it up as a drug with 0 side effects
Same here, it’s retarded and a lie. All drugs can be used unhealthily, and not every person will have a positive or enlightening experience.
