a purple vertical line showed up on my laptop's screen. my question is is it going to gradually get worse ( and eventually kill my screen ? also how fast ? ) or can i just ignore it for the time being ? i'm freaking out because i'm a poorfag i don't know if i have enough money to repair it right now and i need it for my univeristy work amongst other things. picrel not mine but it's exactly what it looks like
No. 1666388
>>1666381It could be caused by various issues. The first thing is old try is updating my computers graphics settings and maybe some of the drivers. That might fix it. If that doesn't fix it, something might have "come unplugged" within your computer. If you can open your laptop up, you can look and see if anything seems loose in there. A wire might have come disconnected or loose. You can't afford to get a new laptop, but does your school have a computer center where they can help you open it and take a look? You might be able to reattach the wire.
Also, the issue won't get worse as long as the thing internally (if it is an internal issue) doesn't come off any farther. Just be careful when picking up and placing your laptop down.

>>1666381if you don't need to travel with it, you could always hook it up to an old tv screen with an hdmi cable and use it that way, in case you really get into a pinch.
The default advice for laptop issues is always to update the driver and if there's no updates to delete the driver and restart the laptop (it'll reinstall itself), but I've honestly never had an issue fixed that way.

>>1666680i havent fixed my needle phobia, but I do a couple things to cope with taking needles and IVs, idk this is what helps for me
>have someone hold your hand, bonus points if you can ask them to distract you when you're being sticked>focus on keeping your muscles relaxed above everything else to prevent more pain >bring your headphones and listen to a specific song during the stick, nurses and doctors are typically cool about this>focus on wiggling your toes in succession when you become too aware of the needle in your bodymost importantly you need to constantly remind yourself that the discomfort will quickly pass, the pinch from a blood draw really sucks, but the sensation from an IV is usually just mildly uncomfortable unless they did it wrong (an infiltrated IV will burn and itch, so tell the doctor if you feel that instead of enduring it like I tried to)

But for your personal knowledge, Sofonisba Anguissola was a great late Renaissance painter who actually wrote to Michelangelo who encouraged her in his letter back.
Caterina van Hemessen may have invented the self portrait, and if she didn't, she's certainly the oldest known proof we have of one.
Luo Li Rong is a sculpture artist today, and I've seen her work as often mistaken as a renaissance man's.

Mozart's sister, Maria Anna Walburga Ignatia Mozart, was his equal and received top billing when they toured as children, but when she was 18 and became eligible for marriage, her parents and her culture stopped her from pursuing music any further and she was not allowed to travel while Mozart was allowed to tour the world with his music.

>>1667557It’s just pretty nice, It’s a movie that uses the whole Barbie controversies and issues to try to make Barbie (the brand) get a better image. Tbh, I’ve always loved Barbie so it was kind of funny, specially the references to other toys that got discontinued. The dialogs get a bit long but it’s because it’s talking about a bunch of issues with moids like them pretending to not be misogynistic or all of the dumb shit that women have to go through.
To anyone that still lives surrounded by misogynistic retards and has always seen feminism as something that only ugly women partake in because they’re not getting fucked, it’s quite eye opening, which is why it’s liked by many women, and hated by lots of moids.

I'm getting all of my wisdom teeth extracted in the coming week and a half and I have a few questions.
>Will I really not be allowed to eat anything other than super soft foods?
Like mashed potatoes, grits pudding, porridge, etc.
>How long can I expect my jaw to be swollen and in pain?
>How bad will the pain be?
>Is it really true that having them all removed will give my face a slimmer look?
I'm kind of anxious about it, I'll have an exam exactly a week after the second round of extractions and I don't want to walk in the university building looking like picrel and dealing with the pain at the same time.
No. 1667743
>>1667722Hi
nonnie, I only had the bottom two so I don't know if that's a factor in how painful it was buuuut…
>>Will I really not be allowed to eat anything other than super soft foods?Yes, you should definitely wait about a week, give or take, before you move onto more solid foods. And make sure the food is lukewarm at most, hot food is not a good idea when healing. Also, do salt water rinses after every meal (unless instructed otherwise by dental surgeon)
>How long can I expect my jaw to be swollen and in pain?For me, the pain only lasted about 3 days, it actually wasn't all that bad and all I needed was some ibuprofen, the pain was at its most uncomfortable on day 3 (still very manageable), and the next day I was virtually pain free, but remember that your pain might vary. My jaw was swollen for like 7 days. I think on day 9 I was p much back to normal!
>Is it really true that having them all removed will give my face a slimmer look?People will tell you no, but I only had the bottom two removed like I said and my jaw is noticeably slimmer (to me), it also made my cheekbones more prominent? Kinda strange lol.
No. 1667748
>>1667722soft foods for the first couple days for sure. it hurts like hell if you get any tiny piece of food stuck, i remember getting food stuck in the sockets and having to try and get it out and accidentally pulling one of my stitches out.
my mouth in general was a bit sore for just a couple days after, but eating normally was hard for a few weeks because of food getting stuck in the sockets, and anything that causes you to make a sucking motion in your mouth will be painful. you just have to be careful!
and i didnt notice my face looking slimmer at all lol
No. 1667754
>>1667722Don't mean to double post but I got my wisdom teeth removed almost ten years ago and I got lucky that I was absolutely not swollen because I kept the ice bandage the hospital kept on me all the way until they released me the same day. I was there maybe 6-7 hours, OP included, they insisted on me staying until my blood pressure regulated.
As far as eating goes, that's also depending on how bad the removal was for you, swelling and pain wise. But usually people recommend softer foods even if the operation worked well, basically nothing crunchy or chewing resistant.
The pain and swelling like I already said depends on how your body reacts to the removal. I seriously got lucky whereas I know other people who looked like hamsters after their wisdom teeth got removed.
I knock on wood that the removal operation goes well for you nonna.

This question is intended for all the mid 20's+ nonnies that used to hang around alt circles when they were younger, specifically among punks, anarchists, huge commies, emos, metalheads and the like.
I observed this interesting phenomenon now that I'm a bit older. So I'm sure we all remember the girls that were considered almost like the alphas in the community, men loved them, they'd always be super popular and go to all the gigs, heavy drug users etc. and due to their crazy lifestyle they usually wouldn't pursue higher education nor get a job after high school so they seemed to be living on air. In my case, literally every each one of these girls married pretty early, got babies pretty early too, and most importantly all of them got married to a significantly older dude. My question is - did anyone else notice the same pattern? Because I'm starting to get creeped out by how similar they all are. I can count 4 off the top of my head, and that's just from my smaller town.
Weirdly, they all seemed to pursue something quirky when it comes to their jobs (like jewelry making, vegan cooking, gardening, ethical makeup production, and a lot of other creative hobbies) and they look happy outwardly, but it's weird how all of them share the same fate.

>>1668018I don't get why school nurses exist if they're not going to be there everyday. It was the same thing in all my schools and the few times I needed to see the nurse she was never there. I spent an entire day in middle school in the nurse office with another student who was just pretending to be sick to not go to class and spend my entire day vomiting in the sink because only the nurse was qualified to sign a paper to let me go back home which was 5 min away from the school by foot.
>the middle school kept my test kit and glucagon and everything in a locked drawerYeah that's what I'm talking about, this is crazy to me. I'm glad I had to take growth hormone injections at home right before going to bed because there's no way I could have trusted schools with this. I would sometimes have hypoglycemia as a kid from my growth hormone deficiency but it's not nearly as dangerous as if a type 1 diabetic kid has it so I didn't get treatments for that, I just needed to eat snacks from time to time but "eating snacks or drinking water in the middle of lessons is impolite" so I had to deal with nearly or actually passing out in front of everyone and if I tried to eat during recess I could have my chocolate bars stolen and nobody would give a shit.
>>1668025>until I bashed his head in with icy snow and nobody gave a shit. You got off easy, when I defended myself against bullies in primary school I was the only one punished and the kids kept doing it until they beat me so hard I lost consciousness and the director was worried about a potential lawsuit after I kept telling him I was bullied over and over again.

We've been wondering with other polish farmers if it's something unique to our country, with picrel influencer getting a massive cult following of people obsessed with healthy hair, analyzing the wavyness and specific hair needs; and multiple various brands releasing specific separate conditioners with humectants, proteins or emollients catered specifically to that very community.

Please be honest – if you saw these scars on a very normal-looking woman, would you assume it was self-harm?
I cover them up for work, but it's very frustrating sweating my ass off in long sleeves, which even when billowy linen, don't come close to the coolness of just wearing short sleeves.
For context I work in IT but there's a strong 'lads club' salesy / corporate culture.
I'm pretty sure the answer is to just keep covering it up, but wanted some opinions because if it isn't obviously self-harm, I would 1000% say some weird excuse if asked… Just can't think of anything.

>>1669812At this point where I am it's too hot to cover mine up. I have an admixture of cuts and cigarette burns on my wrists. I also have them on my upper arms, thighs, and faintly around my chest and stomach. I've gotten some nasty comments from men, but overall people are less attentive than you think and don't really pry. The ones who do tend to be projecting and likely knew or were a self harmer. One guy who was nasty towards me was rambling on about hating his formerly troubled daughter and I could infer that he was disgusted by me because I must've reminded him of her. I've found that if I keep my lower wrists angled they're less visible.
I only really ever notice people's scars if i'm paying attention because I'm a self harmer myself. People who don't know what self harm is think they're cat scratches or something like

They talk with them depending on their relationship. Talking with friends flows naturally and how comfortable you are depends on the friend.

Genuinely hard to explain how friends talk because it's just natural and in the moment.

>>1672163I get burn blisters a lot, have a burn blister that broke right now actually. It will probably fill up with pus by tomorrow. There's not much you can do except try your best to prevent it from popping. Cover it with a bandaid or some kind of gauze to cushion it. Make sure you do not ever put the adhesive part of your bandaid over the blister, the skin on a blister is thin as fuck and can be ripped off. If it doesn't pop you're fine and it will go down and heal on it's own. Just be very careful to not pop it. I've actually heard that it's wrong to put anything but cold water over burns because things like aloe vera can trap heat, but idk.
If it does pop, do not rip the skin off. Use some antibiotic ointment on it and cover the wound. I also personally like to use alcohol or hydrogen peroxide for the entire duration of the wound being open, but I know a lot of people are against that since they eat at the skin, so it's up to you. The wound underneath a blister is sensitive and fairly deep into your skin so you want to make sure you're diligent with cleaning to prevent infection.

>>1672666Yes, as the other two anons said, if you add it at the beginning, you'll burn it and turn it bitter (unless it's in a soup). If you add it at the very end, it'll not incorporate properly and be like cinnamon except even drier and worse. The one exception I'd say is when you're using it to season/marinade thinly-sliced lean meat that you will cook in a pan (I do this exclusively with tenderised chicken slices because they cook quickly enough that none of the spices burn). You can also add it to the breadcrumb/flour mixture if you're frying the meat in oil, but only in a small amount.

Why does that sound unbelievable tho? Most women I know, both pretty and ugly, have at least 1 story about another woman being mean to them because of their looks.
No. 1672731
>>1672714>how do other women treat you-Pretty, normie women approach me at student parties, chat, some want to be friends. Goth, weeb, nerdy, shy girls etc no longer do when they used to. It actually takes a lot more effort on my part to get closer to them now whereas they used to open up a lot faster. Even though we still have a lot in common, they seem to not believe it until they get to know me better.
-Female cashiers, baristas and so on are a bit more rude than they used to be, but immediately soften up when I'm polite, say thank you and don't rush them. Shop assistants do ask if I need help more than before but I thought this was because they think I'm a shoplifter lmao
-Men are hornier and creepier, I used to be invisible to them
-Some women just didn't like me despite my best efforts and seemed to want to compete with me. Same type of women would've probably bullied me back when I was a weird alt kid with Christian horse girl glasses
I don't go to many places where I would get favoritism or free stuff, and I work mainly with older women who like me a lot and have known me since my ugly cringe weeb days, so I don't know about that. Overall, for my lifestyle it's not been super different. Making casual friends is easier, finding a nice boyfriend is harder, strangers seem to think I'm bitchy and mean until they get to know me.

nonny. Women and especially female driven communities just aren't on reddit outside of quick posts.
>do pretty women get treated passive aggressivelyThere's so much missing from posts like this and I've learned to just dismiss them. Like maybe she was overdressed for a job, getting a dismissive attitude, but she claims it's because she's "so pretty". It could've been that she was a narcissist and the woman could also pick up on a bad attitude or strange behavior. Women are just smarter like that. Men don't pay attention to that and will hire women in hopes to fuck them. That's what I'm reading between the lines here.

If the girl was outgoing, she'd call her annoying and a tryhard.
Mean girl behavior, bullying, any kind of BPD outburst in general, stems from personal issues and has nothing to do with the target. It's pure projection.
Farmers vilify ugly women too and call them bitter or mentally ill while claiming every pretty girl they've met was kind and friendly. From reading some cow threads, you'd think the cows were Jeffrey Epstein and not just mentally ill, chronically online women.

Is ignoring your child’s behavior and letting them grow up as retarded as possible until they enter kindergarten (when it becomes the teacher’s problem) normal in America? Or at least generally accepted? I know there are shit parents in every country, but I came across an American teacher’s short video earlier where she was explaining that it’s “possible” to teacher 5~6 year olds to use glue at school without eating it or shooting it up their noses. I guess I’m just shocked that this is even controversial. I know 2 and a half year olds that can calm down and use glue (and not eat it) with just minor supervision. This is not even shocking or rare where I’m from. I always assumed that the glue eating ADHD retard trope was just an outlier thing in America lol.

>>1673926Yeah if you always pick your skin in front of the mirror covering it up would help. That way you make it more difficult and removing the covering in order to pick would be an active task that may help you reflect on what you're about to do.
What may also help is having something else to keep your hands busy when you'd typically pick at your face, doodling or knitting for example. If you're having real trouble, it's very much a flawed solution but what really helped for me is finding a different type of skin picking habit to replace the face picking one. For me it's picking at pubic hairs, not ideal but better than face picking imo.
No. 1674301
>>1673992You mean in terms of social life ? Yes but it's still possible to be friends with the normal 19-21 years old. The maturity gap depends on how "locomotive" you are, how fast you go forward with yourself. I started college once at 18 and then again at 20-21 with a completely different mindset, but some people take longer to change/grow up and guys who were in my class the first time around had not changed one bit when I came back and saw them again. It also depends on your field of studies and the kind of people it attracts.
Also there were adult women in my class who already had jobs or even a husband or child who still had healthy friendships with the younger students and looked out for them.

How do people really have the time and money (in my area, $150-$200 for an hour) each time for someone to listen to them talk and be completely unhelpful afterwards? Are therapists even worth it?

Start saying no to sex when you don't feel like it. If you feel like you must have it or he will be angry or not love you, that's a bad sign. Does he pressure you in some way, or act differently after the fact?

>>1675267Yeah, he does not seem very healthy or emotionally aware to me. You say he doesn't act pissy or childish, but it seems like he's still broadcasting his displeasure to you, until you feel like you have to say yes. It's also strange to me that he knows you have issues having sex, but will have sex with you anyways. I personally would not want to have sex with my girlfriend if I knew she was saying yes because she had to or didn't want to upset me. Maybe he really is oblivious, but it just doesn't sound good to me.

>>1675268, maybe a breakup is for the best. He's not mature enough for a relationship with you, and may not ever be.

I would look for someone who is much more emotionally available, and does not make you feel bad when you are sex adverse. Men know how to jack off.

>>1675291Not any of those anons but you need to break up with him. He's a shit communicator? Already a red flag and pretty much the death of any relationship whether you've been a csa
victim or not. And he will never change. And I know what you're going through and it's not your fault but you also can't expect him to go sexless. That's going to create another set of issues. You need to be single right now or find someone better.

>>1675450Nope. It's another scrote thing where they have to draw parallels to their dicks. Dick gets hard = nipple gets hard. It's the same for writing about females 'gushing' when they orgasm, and obsession with squirting, because scrotes love the parallel of dick cums (visibly) = vagina cums visibly. Remember that they have trouble grasping sexual nuance without clear cues that also turn them on, no moid understands subtle body language in my experience.
Of course some ladies play along with it which doesn't help. But it is a blatant lie.
Also, I can squirt and it does feel nice but it doesn't correlate with a proper orgasm, it's a different thing (and I accept that at least part of it is piss so don't even come at me from that angle okay)

There's fuck all in small towns and rural areas so everyone moves to the few big cities for better work or study opportunities. Lots of foreign people coming in droves as well. New apartment buildings are popping up in cities left and right and buying anything is just a poor investment now because it's so overvalued.
Also when you buy property here you have to pay property tax and maintenance fees out the ass, and if you buy a flat with a special savings account meant for young first-time apartment owners, you are legally forbidden from letting it so you can't have renters living there.

>>1677010>>1677033>>1677046Thank you all for your replies nonnies. The gist of it is that the friend she fought with kept avoiding seeing her repeatedly saying “I’m busy” and my friend was upset because she felt like she was being ignored (this has happened before with other friends too and she always confronts people about it). I don’t want to say “I’ve been busy” because I’m afraid it’s just inviting a fight kek. On one hand I should just come out and tell her I no longer want to be friends, but that’s nearly the exact situation. The other girl came out and told my friend she doesn’t want to be friends. So I already know my friend will blow up at me/do this exact “can you believe the shit anon said/did to me?!?” to someone else. I’ve also been trying to distance myself but… again, she confronts people when they start pulling away. I know the only real way to “win” with her is to just give in and hang out and talk to her. I don’t think she’s a bad person is intentionally manipulative but lately I’ve been wondering if I’ve just been making up excuses for her for so long, or if I’m really just a bad friend because I don’t want to put up with her/support her.
I know it sounds like the dumbest, most elementary school level shit kek and it kind of is.

>>1678125when it comes to clutter and getting rid of old stuff, you're dealing with sunk cost fallacy. you've already spent the money and can't get it back, but keeping items that are not serving you does you no good and only makes your life harder. how many shoes you need depends upon your needs and lifestyle.

>>1678367I'll be frank with you nona, SSRIs will not save you. I don't mean that in a "life is worthless why even try" way, but thinking that any medication will do the heavy-lifting for you will only leave you disappointed. I've been off and on SSRIs my whole adolescent/adult life (clinical depression + other shit) and none have worked for me. I've had some luck with Bupropion, but that isn't an SSRI. Even with that, the most beneficial thing has been getting regular therapy (if you feel like once/twice a month works for you, that's fine for now), frequent exercise + some sunlight, good sleep, good diet, and having hobbies that you can improve upon and feel proud of yourself for working on.
Medication isn't going to fix it all. In the end, you are the only one you can rely on. I really wish I could've walked into my doctor's office and just have had my brain fixed, I would've done so over a decade ago when I was first put on SSRIs. But it just won't happen. Medication helps sometimes, but 90% of it comes from your lifestyle and genuinely wanting to get better. I know it sucks but I've been doing this dance for 10+ years, you have to take it into your own hands. START SMALL (this is really important), set easy goals and work your way up.
TL;DR SSRIs aren't really that beneficial for most people and your lifestyle is more important if you're depressed
No. 1678384
>>1678367In contrast to the other anon, meds like SSRIs or SNRIs can help give you the push you need or do some extra lifting. I personally found medications to be helpful after the initial starting period, in a really significant way. I think if you try, you should definitely make sure you take them consistently, and increase the dosage as advised before writing them off. You might have to try a lot of different ones, too. I didn't get to try my current med until a year ago because nobody suggested it before. Oh, and yes, like other anon said: adequate sunlight, good diet, excellent sleep (look into a cpap or trazodone for this if you have sleep problems), social interaction, and having fulfilling hobbies are priorities. All the medication in the world will NOT fix you if you are low on vitamin d or iron.
Best of luck,

Ok, so, really, really stupid question but I was kinda disturbed today when I went to Amazon customer service because my item, not the box, was damaged. I am 99% sure it was a manufacturer issue, or maybe the heat caused the damaged. I did get a refund without a return, but immediately the bot implied a strike had been issued against what I believe was the deliverer? Is that something they actually do or did I misread?

what do you guys think of the downfall of physical media? do streaming services worry you? i have to admit that i don't mind having spotify and a few streaming services (netflix, amazon prime and disney+, i have them mostly for my mom because she's an avid tv show binger) but it bothers me that more and more subscription services pop up.

>>1682667https://www.privacyguides.org/en/I am trying to be better too and just found this site built not too long ago which seems pretty good. I need to keep reading thru it. But if I were you, I would start limiting permissions on my phone (they do record audio and video in the background to sell to advertisers),cover your cameras, yes especially the front camera because they have been tracking your eye movements since around 2014 to detect how long certain areas of the screen keep your attention and which ads you are more interested in.

Never save credit card info. Clear you browsing history frequently, your cache and cookies too. I use Brave browser at the moment and it has tracker blocking features. I need to keep learning how to utilize Brave better via add ons etc to make it even more private. Everything listens to you,that smart tv, smart thermostat, apps on your phone, any wifi connecting device even a roomba and especially things like Ring, literally everything 'smart' is collecting data on you and selling it. Inputting data into a health tracking app? Data sold. If you have a watch that monitors your heartrate, steps, oxygen etc they will sell that data too. Example…your location is tracked so they know you are walking down aisle 8 at the supermarket, and pause, then continue- if your heart rate bumped up a teeny bit when you looked at a certain spot on the shelf where you paused that means they know in general a set few items you are probably intetested in buying and that data gets sold and ads for those items get pumped to you. Its crazy out there. Use dumb things only in your home if you can.

Are you looking to learn how to cook, nonna? You just need to start out with simple recipes is all. Then once you've gotten one or two of them from bad -> passable -> "hey this is okay" -> "wow i did a good job" -> experimenting, you can confidently say you know the basics of cooking. Also, even when you think you're making great progress, you WILL burn or fuck up a dish. A lot of people get discouraged at this stage! It doesn't mean you're doing bad, that's just a natural "experienced beginner" thing.

>>1683628I generally wouldn't recommend venting online because it sticks around forever/someone can screenshot it. I do have a friend now who I vent to when I need, but I didn't have one for a long time. I think one of the best practices is to bawl your eyes out until you're completely exhausted and then go to sleep. If it's a nervous/stress thing, then try very hard to distract yourself (video game, weird movie, youtube binge) until you can't take it any longer, and then go to sleep. Third option is to exercise to complete exhaustion. And then go to sleep.
Sleeping usually resets your emotional response. I always feel much less frenzied or raw when I wake up. Yes, the above methods will typically mean you're thinking about your situation in the moments between distraction, but that's kind of necessary for you to process it and get over it.
The one time I very much had to vent, I used this thread and nonnas were extremely nice to me and helped me out. I felt much better afterwards and haven't done since.
No. 1683720
>>1683628I sometimes vent into a voice recorder so it feels like I told someone and I can review it later if during the venting I had some realizations about what I can change/control in the situation. Also found that recording it makes it much harder for me to shame myself for ~talking like a crazy person~ and more like making a journal log.
Working out can help redirect the restless energy as well. I also like listening to intense music if I can't/don't want to work out or voice record. Angry music can help, but if you find yourself falling into a pattern of accidentally making yourself angrier/more stressed, try intense instrumentals like Polyphia.
Good luck nona

>>1684169Yes. If you are very dehydrated, your body starts sending out hunger signals in a desperate attempt to get something inside you that it can extract fluid from.
I know you already know this, but you should really try getting that hydration problem under control. Chronic dehydration can lead to long term health problems. Very severe dehydration over long periods of time can damage your organs.
If it's a problem with the taste, drinking flavored water, pedialyte, gatorade, or teas (no caffeine) is better than nothing. Hell, even getting crushed ice and putting it in your mouth to melt. You can also try getting a water filter, either dispenser or pitcher. Brita is kind of cheap so it probably won't change the taste of the water, you might need a better brand. I struggled with the same problem as you up until a couple of years ago when I got a filtered pitcher and convinced my parents to get a filter as well. Suddenly I wasn't suffering through miserable ass water and was able to actually drink it kek

Also yeah, his massive crush on Diana Ross who took sexy/romantic photoshoots with him, flirted with him, but then told him he was too young for her. Not blaming her or anything. I forget the other women in his life's names but yeah. There's a video of his first ever Christmas (he was raised Jehovah's Witness) as like a 40 year old and it was organized by a woman. Only women seemed to care about him. He also seemed to get along best with his sister, Janet. He could have transitioned, I can see it, he'd be the type to say he was a woman inside the whole time due to his compassion~ and gentleness~ but at the same time he was black even if his skin did turn white, so he'd probably be ostracized for it. Who knows, he could also act masculine when he wanted to. His high-pitched voice was put on for the most part. All in all he was very mentally disturbed.

Nonnas, lately I can’t stand eating “heavy” or “rich” foods. I’ve always had a clean, healthy diet (for an Amerifag) and I’m not pregnant. Is it because I was vegetarian for so long and my body doesn’t like eating meat? I was always “naturally” vegetarian aka never craved meat very often, but I was ED, and vegan for a short stint. But I’ve been eating regularly and healthily for a few years now…Is it because of my stupid anorexia brain I’ve tried to suppress? I just want to eat what I want when I want and gain muscles and fat!!!

>>1684497I'm not a burger but it seems to me to be just racism. Being a minority or

Asian Americans are racist against black people and believe in the stereotypes as well. And both find each other ugly and weird looking and have the wrong skin color basically. But that's what I noticed as an outsider so maybe there's something I'm missing.

No. 1684570
>>1684497Since the 90s at least, less wealthy Asian-Americans have moved into black neighborhoods to start small businesses, but were racist toward black people and created a sense of animosity. A lot of this bubbled over and solidified in the case of Latasha Harlins, in which a 15 year old girl was shot in front of two eyewitnesses by a middle-aged Korean-American woman who falsely accused her of stealing, physically assaulted her and later lied to the authorities about it. Relations between the two groups became extremely tense, and I don't think things improved significantly. There's more on this on Wikipedia etc. I feel like existing animosity and distrust combined with COVID and resulted in increased violence. Also, in the first place, the black people in the assault cases that go viral come from violent communities where they'll attack/be attacked by anyone, so I don't entirely believe they're specifically looking for Asians to fight. If this was happening with middle/upper middle class black people and Asian people, I'd feel differently. Also, I would argue that (mestizo or white) latino vs black interracial violence on both sides is statistically more common than Asian/black as a mattter of proximity, but that's not really the "hot topic" right now.
Aside from that, wealthier Asian-Americans typically try to keep themselves in good graces with white people because they know that's where the power is. To begin with, East Asians look down on dark skinned people regardless of race, so it's just business as usual for them. At the same time, you might see some invoke their "minority" status and recycle campaign strategies typically used by black people when they're not getting where they want to be (eg complaints about lack of representation in CEO categories in the US, not getting accepted into prestigious universities even after they helped put an end to affirmative action, a few liberal Asian-American women from well-off homes saying they despise white people because of oppression but only dating white men, men on communities like r/asianmasculinity complaining that Asian men are emasculated in American culture, reviling Asian women for dating white men, and trying to push for more romantic access to white women). Statistically speaking, East Asians are wealthier than most white people in America, but they don't really control most companies, media or institutions, so they're in an interesting position IMO.

You can look up any of those names, or just browse this wikipedia article
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/COINTELPROAnd before somebody starts, yes, sexism was a huge problem in a lot of these groups, but that doesn't negate the fact that they were famously effective movements until they got put down by the government.

>>1684866Broad shoulders with large breasts is quite a pain because women's shirts will look stupid at the shoulder seams, but men's shirts will look even stupider because they're not meant for 3D chests. Your best bet is to go to a thrift or vintage store and buy blouses from the 80s that have extra space at the shoulders (normally meant for shoulder pads). Idk how Uniqlo is where you live, but the high waisted pants (the ones with actual waist sizes, not S-M-L shit) are pretty good if like me you have an above average distance between your waist and crotch/hip and waistbands never reach up to your waist. Also, it's fast fashion again but I find the Loose Fit men's jeans from H&M pretty good for "not really feminine but not actual moid tier" kinda hips (does that make sense ? I think they're just called square hips ?) the cut looks rather neutral so it's not obvious you're wearing men's jeans, but they ARE men's jeans at the same time so they have extra length.

>>1688089I might have some helpful advice, after I was told this by a therapist while working on my pmdd diagnosis. Going into a negative spiral will usually make you feel worse. I used to do it all the time, hoping that if I could just figure out the exact reason for my sadness I would feel better immediately. However, if you start to feel sad and you don't know why at that very moment, thinking about it usually makes you ruminate and recall one negative memory, thought or feeling after the other, pushing you further down the spiral and making it even harder to bounce back. And if your sadness is caused by depression or other factors such as pmdd which can just cause your mood to be down in general, figuring out the "why" won't help anyway.
You shouldn't ignore the negative emotions either. You can simply allow yourself to have them. Sadness isn't something that has to be solved. Sadness on its own is your body and mind trying to recover and work through whatever's going on beneath the surface, which is why you have to let them get the work done. Talking about it is still good, but most of the time what we actually need is just comfort and support. That means the person supporting you isn't supposed to ask "why" either, and you can tell them that. From my experience this has made it much easier for me to look for help when I'm feeling down, and it's also a lot easier on the person I come to for help.

>>1688182I mean in the sense of people being surprised when characters swear, I see it pretty often. In real life (and often in live action series like Friends and such) I know not many people baits an eye.
>>1688183Kek that was one example I was thinking about, I'm glad the non-english translations are normal. Related to Persona, they released the ratings for P3RE which mentions uses of fuck/bitch etc, so people are now theorizing who will be the one to drop the F bomb and I just don't understant it. What's so funny/novelty of teens swearing lmao.

>>1688168Not a fucking clue. I know anons say that people aren't sensitive to swearing, but they really are. I use it very casually but sometimes will get snapped at by people who know me for "cussing at them" if I use "fucking" as a filler word. Like they think I'm directing it to them as an act of aggression. I do also notice very quickly when a movie has "swearing" vs the majority of American media which will have 0-2 swears for the entire 2 hours of the movie or 10 episode season. So it's definitely a thing.
I kind of want to ask a Finnish nonna if they really do have cursing incorporated into every day language like I've heard, or if that is a stereotype. But I don't want to bother them in their thread kek

>>1688249Samefag, just re-read you are not a native english speaker.
The first thing to understand is we have tiers of swears; "fuck" is considered our most vulgar swear. So when you see people on tumblr joke about "where would the one fbomb go" that does not necessarily exclude "softer" curses like "damn" or "hell" being present in a movie. If you watch popular movies from different time periods of American films, you can get a feeling for it.
Another thing to consider, even though a lot of ppl like to deny it, is that we are a predominantly Christian country. So in order to appeal to a broad audience, they will not use swearing. You can derive information about the style/target audience of the director based on the amount of and type of swearing in the movie. Kind of interesting to think about, actually.
Ah, also forgot to mention, I don't think graphic sex is necessarily viewed as "normal". I remember watching Bridgerton and being taken aback by the sex scenes, but friends from other countries mentioned this was completely normal to see on tv kek. Like, it's Netflix so of course they can do what they want, but that wouldn't be acceptable on television or outside of an R-rated movie. I know the new age of media is turning into porn brained consumerism bullshit, but it definitely wasn't the norm until very recently.

I'm kind of dumb and never understood how you're supposed to do sets and reps. So if I was to follow picrel - am I supposed to do 10 push ups , 8 dips…etc and repeat to make the second set, or am I supposed to do 10 pushups, take a short break, do 10 more, then 8 dips, break, 8 more…etc??

>I don't really understand how the law works and I'm scared of losing my jobYou shouldn't get into legal trouble with THC as long as it's below 0.3% of the dry weight of the product. Any reputable seller should provide lab reports proving this. Cycling Frog is where I got mine. Does your workplace do random drug tests? That's where you can run into problems because most drug tests will fail you even for CBD (which is unequivocally legal).
>I've heard edible s generally give you an unpleasant experienceNot really. They just taste a lot better than smoking a joint and take a while to produce effects so some people end up eating a bunch and getting way too high. I started with 2.5mg of THC and 12.5mg of CBD. I can go up to 5mg safely, but any more than that and I start getting paranoid and anxious.
>My brother is currently as close to addicted to weed/ weed products as you can get, and he also has mental issues like me (genetic) and I don't want to wind up like himThis is where researching psychedelic therapy comes in. You have to use it as an introspective tool, not as a crutch/band-aid. It's very easy to use weed to go into a fantasy world where you can ignore all your problems, but that only makes things worse. THC increases neuroplasticity, which makes it easier to build new neural pathways and overcome old ones. If you use it to just escape from your problems, you solidify your bad habits. If you use it with the intention to confront and solve your problems, it can help you. Don't use it every day and have a specific intention for each time you use it.
>psychedelic drug therapyAside from LSD, ketamine therapy is similar and is legal in more places. Psilocybin (magic mushroom) therapy is also legal in some places but not as widely as ketamine therapy. I've never used "hard" psychedelics, so I can't provide much advice for that. THC is the only drug I've ever used, and I started using it specifically for therapeutic purposes. Fun fact: magic mushroom spores are not federally illegal, but the mushrooms themselves are.

>>1689102It depends, a lot of the girls (now women) who were in my school who were considered the prettiest have partaken in some way, including lip fillers and if they're actually dumb, veneers.
It's a shame. My only solace is that men also get veneers so they can look silly together instead of only women looking botched.

>>1689281if you're starting from absolute basics then yes, absolutely start with learning hiragana and katakana.
from there there are a lot of options available to you. i like using the app renshuu personally. the anki method is also popular, wherein you use flashcards to memorise (this is usually used for kanji.) lastly, the genki 1 and 2 textbooks and workbooks are also popular & are a great starting point. id probably recommend genki textbooks for you since you're starting from scratch. good luck anon がんばって！！

why are straight nazi men so obsessed with boobs and mommy dom stuff? they reply to a lot of the feminists I follow on Twitter to harass them and every time I click on their profile before blocking there’s always some gigantic boobed woman photo or a picture of a man being cradled/nurses by a big anime tittie drawing or whatever. Like yes men are pornsick and gross blah blah blah I am very aware of that but why this fetish and vibe specifically? They are seriously starting to remind me of the male version of coquettes. Especially because the other half of nazi men and really most right wingers online are extremely gay and fruity so it’s weird and jarring to see all the “I’m baby” straight nazi men lol.
