Is art education in the East, particularly in Japan and South-Korea differ from Western art education? This is obviously generalisation but to me it seems that the Japanese for instance seem to have a better grasp at drawing from an early age. Not sure if this is because of their different educational system or because their culture is places more focus on visual culture

idk abt any of that but its better dexterity maybe, from chopsticks. perhaps being raised in environments where children dont eat glue during art class also contributes. many parents (from personal experience) put their kids in art and music classes outside of school from kindergarten for enrichment. these arent serious private $60/hr classes, but more like group activities that other mothers and older women teach so its also that much more affordable and sets the status quo

there is a misconception by westerners that stuff like anime is all stylization and 0 knowledge, but it's not true. I have seen generic animu moeshit artists recommend Hampton and other academic drawing resources. Basically, the only difference is that Japanese artists actually practice and dont hide behind ''muh style''

No. 1690495

>>1690488
Idk how they even managed to convince themselves of that. It's Westerners who rely heavily on the "muh art style", whilst even the most uninspired coomer shit anime has great art that's aestheticly pleasing and anatomically correct. Anyone with eyes can tell they actually at least studied and practiced with a reference at least once, while western artists rely heavily on the calarts/low effort cartoon styling. If not, they badly emulate the anime art style. What a cope lol

Sleep happens when several cognitive centers get disconnected and your ego no longer maintains a connection between them and thus dissipates, but these cognitive centers by themselves always remain active, only connections dissipate. If several cognitive centers remain connected during sleep, dreaming happens, if all the centers are disconnected, deep, dreamless sleep happens. Although during dreaming state your ego has mostly dissipated it still manifests from connections between cognitive centers that have remained connected and you're able to remember what you dream, but since its disconnected from the other centers you cannot experience what they are doing during that time. In your case what they are doing is having a little nightmare of their own, with their own little dreaming ego that you don't remember, because only one you can exist at a time.

Just finished watching Leaving Neverland and I'm disturbed but also confused. Just wtf was MJ's sexual orientation? Was he straight, gay or bi? He seemed to be at least somewhat attracted to women with his crush on Diana Ross and Wade mentioning his obsession with Britney Spears (saying how 'sexy and beautiful' she was), but then again, all of his victims seemed to be boys, not girls. Both James and Wade mentioned MJ trying to move things to 'the next level', as they grew up to their teens with stuff like anal. Was he just a repressed and deeply warped and fucked up bisexual man from his years of abuse at the hand of his father?

No. 1690973

>>1690968
I know very few gay men who don’t idolise «the divas» and speak of them in terms that could be confused with sexual attraction, especially closeted ones. He was opportunistic when it came to his victims. Even if he wanted to assault girls, it would have been slightly more difficult to convince parents to let them come and stay at his compound with other boys. Sadly, I think some parents would have had no issue putting their daughters in harm's way to get close to him.

Bras actually make boobs get saggier over the time, saggy breasts are genetic, they can also happen if you gained lots of weight and lost it quickly or just lost it, but you could maybe do some exercises to try and lift them by training your chest muscles.
If they’re not particularly annoying, then you could try accepting them as they are, but if they get on your way, you could try breast reduction or a boob lift surgery.

have you ever had a broken/injured arm or leg and noticed how skinny your arm or leg becomes because the muscles waste away from not being used? that's how it is for the muscles that hold your chest. the muscles and connective tissue become weak because the bras do all the heavy lifting (heh) so as soon as you take off your bras, your breasts sag because the muscles and tissue needed to uphold them have wasted away. you can do exercises to build muscles and counter some of the sagging but unfortunately you cannot restore the connective tissue.

Is having feminine decor on your car considered dangerous? I got a brand new car and I want to decorate inside it, kinda like picrel but less extreme.
I live in a very safe area but I still worry that if a creep or something saw a car decked out in pink stuff (on the inside, no bumper stickers) that would put me at way more risk.
I see some women just say to decorate it anyways and it's not additional risk, but others think it could be.

Honestly, it depends on where you live, if you live in a zone that isn’t dangerous in general, then you could do it, but if you live in a dangerous area, or if you need to stop in dangerous areas, it could cause you trouble because having a flashy car attracts the attention of lots of people.

No. 1691701

Nta and yeah exercising the muscles under the breast tissue isn't going to help with sagging but I don't think the anon was claiming that breasts won't sag at all without a bra. Just that wearing bras can worsen sagging. Same with gaining and losing weight, aging, smoking, drug use that affects collagen loss, anachanning, multiple pregnancies and breastfeeding. Those women probably birthed and fed a lot of babies, but yeah that amount of sag is pretty normal for breasts to get over time.

I accidentally broke the washing machine that I share with my housemate and it will probably have to get repaired. My housemate wants me to pay for the repair, no idea how much it would be.

The thing is though he owes me over $$$ for emergency vet payments due to me having to get an uber there and back to a late night vet (which he admits the incident was his fault and he should pay) he's paid $25 and makes constant excuses to why he shouldn't pay but then orders uber eats pretty much every night. He says he doesn't have the money but then refuses to get a job (he had one but got fired due to pretending to be sick in the first 3 weeks) because he wants to become a famous twitch streamer despite having about 5 people maximum watching him at any time. Just about every week he asks me for extra money, won't say what it's for and then gets pissed because I refuse to give it to him and tell him to get a job.

Anyway I've just had a big chunk of money go because living with this man is an absolute nightmare that would take 50 years to write out, but basically he is one of the most disgusting people I've ever met and I need to move out. Even if I did have the money I think it's bullshit for me to pay for the machine when he has made constant excuses not to pay me, and when I move out I know for a fact there's no way in hell I'm getting my money. But at the same time it was me who broke the machine, but I'm out of here in a week so it's not my problem once I'm gone.

Should I pay for the repair? Or should I say fuck it and refuse to pay due to the money he owes me plus the absolute hell it has been to live with him?

Both are possible I think. I realised a few months ago I have the same skin and hormonal issues my mother has and took it serious.

I'd say your body/tastebuds/mind is just more used to natural sugar now so added sugar either tastes worse or makes you feel worse. A lot of people say when they change to healthier alternatives after a while it happens to them and eating junk just doesn't feel worth it

It also could be a subconscious thing if you are serious about your hormonal issues, you don't want to feel and look like that therefore the junk food doesn't feel worth it

what happens if I ignore a medical bill from an urgent care clinic? they only have my old debit card and not credit card on file so this wont impact my credit right?
for context I was really sick with what I assumed to be strep, went to the closest walk in place that was open, they charged me $50 at the front desk which I paid, the doctor did nothing except quickly look in my throat and tell me to take over the counter meds (no strep test or anything, he saw me for less than 5 minutes total) and I was billed $200 like a week or two later. wtf. my bank thought it was fraud and canceled my debit card after the charge so now I have a new debit card number. can I just ignore them emailing me trying to get me to pay the $200?

I doubt anyone knows the answer to this, but I was recently told by a doctor (orthopedic specialist) that I might have very mild cerebral palsy. Is it really possible to make it this far in life (mid 20s) and NOT know you have cerebral palsy? Just how mild can cerebral palsy be? My issue is not being able to flex my feet upwards, which has led to issues walking and standing normally. That said, I've had doctors watch me walk and they say that my gait is screwed up on a technical level, but I've compensated for my limited range of motion shockingly well and look mostly normal at a glance. My family used to tell me on occasion that I walked sort of weird though, which hurt my feelings. Could I seriously have fucking cerebral palsy???

Am I overreacting if I think this is an absolutely retarded reason to ban somebody? I posted this in response to someone getting banned for mentioning that Bulgarian guys are hairy or ugly or something. That anon got banned for racebait. Then I posted this, because it really is stupid that jannies think Bulgarians are a race, that anyone would take offense at Bulgarian males being made fun of, and that mentioning Bulgarian (MALES) at all in a negative way counts as racebait. Then this gets banned as bait? Are jannies all sensitive children or something? Does anyone else feel like this site is being painful to use because any and every shitpost gets banned for "bait"? And yet infighting will go on for hours because jannies are sleeping, but if you mention males from anywhere on earth it's racebaiting. Or if you make a post the jannies don't like it's bait. How is this bait? Baiting anons into saying what exactly? Baiting an argument?

A woman I know had a breast implant inserted after breast cancer and so far she has had to replace those implants twice in a span of 6 years. If this continues she'll be getting surgeries every few years for the rest of her life. Capsular contracture fucking sucks and it's crazy how society memes women into getting these incredibly inconvenient surgeries that imo don't even improve your body. At least nose jobs can actually fix an unfortunate potato of a nose, or jaw surgeries can fix absolutely scary fucked up jaws although I'm not a fan of these surgeries either.

Only with female protags or are moids acceptable?
Mr. Nobody - a family man seeks revenge after his family is robbed and assaulted, turns out he isn’t just an average guy. Pretty heavy on the macho shit.
Avengement - a man is betrayed by his brother and sent to a nightmarish prison, he escapes and seeks his brother out. Brutal fight sequences, very ufc inspired.
Hard Candy - a teenage girl seeks answers about her missing best friend, will she herself become a victim? No full on knock, down drag out fights but that’s because the protag is a tiny girl. Psychological torture.
Double Jeopardy - a woman is sentenced to prison for killing her husband, only she didn’t do it. Oldie but one of my favs, kind of a court drama/political intrigue.
Peppermint - a woman’s family is murdered and she’s the only survivor, when the court system fails her she takes matters into her own hands. Typical revenge movie that doesn’t have her pulling punches, still has her throwing them though.
Columbiana - a young girl watches as her family is killed by the local crime family, she escapes to America where she dedicates herself to becoming a contract killer in order to have her revenge. Male gaze heavy, leans more on the spectrum of punisher with its violence.
If you have time for a TV series I highly recommend Terminal List, military dude suspects a conspiracy after a mission goes wrong and his family is murdered.

Peoples upbringings aren’t the only ways they can be traumatised. They could be abused by someone outside the family, witness or be victim to a horrible accident, have someone they love die suddenly, get diagnosed with an illness or disease, or even getting bullied can be so severe it causes trauma.

No it's not just you. Blog but I was best friends with this girl all throughout highschool who was like a bpd type, constant dramatic stunts, ditching people for no reason, running away from her house to sleep downtown with homeless drug addicted men twice her age, half assed suicide attempts, trooning out first to nonbinary, then male, then trans masc/fem whatever the fuck that is. I'm not friends with her anymore, but now I see she identifies as a rat boy whatever that means. But anyway I see posts of hers talking about having a "narcissistic mother" which is hilarious because I knew her mom when we were friends and she talked about her alot, she was never "narcissistic" she was extremely kind, patient, and worried about her daughter. She would even call me sometimes to see if she was with me when she'd run away. Even in highschool she would complain about her being a bit overbearing out of concern but never what she claims about her now. I think it's a new trend for gendies or spoonies to want to have some tough upbringing or something. But I've noticed that a lot as well.

unprocessed emotion ends up as traumatic, and with all our societal issues (growing loneliness, role of internet, etc.) more people are probably not processing their emotions as well. i think for many of these types, there's a lot of insecurity and relational issues.

I’m the op and I don’t mean parents who beat their kids. Most of the people I talked to never had any issue with their parents, never were raped or emotionally abused, and attribute their trauma to random childhood friends. Think of growing apart from a friend, except these people would claim that “everyone leaves me, I have an abandonment issue!!!” like dude everyone loses friends at some point. Just because they moved on doesn’t mean you’re on the same wavelength of codependency that someone with actual BPD has. Idk why these people want to be traumatized so bad but they also seem to ignore my suggestions to go to therapy so it’s likely just them wanting to be a victim and complain.

No it's not that she was hiding abuse there literally was none, she says her mom is a narcissistic abuser because she was strict, stifled her creativity, was ~transphobic~, and controlling. But that was literally just her mom setting a curfew for her when we were teens, not letting her hangout with randoms until she met them, asking her not to wear things that would end up in a dress code violation at school, her not wanting her hanging out downtown with older men, her telling her not to smoke weed in her house, and not letting her get on testosterone until she was 18. Even in highschool her complaints were the same, if she was hitting her she would've been telling everyone about it. I remember her mom raised her voice with her twice and she wouldn't stop saying how her mom verbally abused her, I was with her on the phone during one of the times and it was literally just her mom crying and saying "please not in the house, I am begging you, if you're going to smoke just please not in the house" and it was because her room was next to her little sisters and the smoke would drift into her room, and that was what she considered "verbal abuse" kek

you can make your arguments against it by how you define love or such, but both abusers and victims themselves will believe they love each other. we can't get into abusers' heads and say they don't feel love for their victims. removing this layer of understanding makes it harder for victims to recognize themselves.

>>1694802
losing childhood friends and not processing it is hard and can be traumatizing in that way of simply not being processed. in a lot of these cases it's probably more than simply that, but like i said it reflects more issues around insecurity and relationships they have in their lives. it's annoying people use psychiatric language and diagnoses to describe basic emotions, but that's the language that comes off as meaningful in society to communicate distress where distress is regularly pathologized.

I don't know tbh it seems like a convenient scapegoat to just blame the mother. The fact is sometimes a parent can do everything right and their kid can still turn out shitty. She had 2 other kids who turned out just fine, my ex friend is the outlier and I think it's because she fell into so many shitty online communities when we were young, troonism, pro ana, pro self harm, pro drug communities, columbiners.

It might in a minority of cases, but this is an anomaly as fillers are generally made out of substances found in our own bodies. Your own body can have an immune response against itself so it's not something that only happens with injections or foreign bodies.

I'm tired of the misinformation on fillers and plastic surgery that some anons like to scare others with. Nobody should get filler unless they absolutely 100% want to and it shouldn't be a prerequisite to feeling pretty but it's not like their face will melt if they get injections, and plastic surgery isn't inherently evil (unless you want acid attack and dog mauling victims to walk around being stared at like freaks for the rest of their lives).

You only say this because prominent botched celebrities are the only ones that you know got it for sure. There's lots of people around you every day that have had filler but you can't tell. And it's not like they'll tell you, because you're going to call them a fake plastic bimbo anyway. Because as much as plastic surgery is pushed, people are still bullying those who do get it instead of the doctors for shilling it and there are social repercussions for admitting to having it.

Because 1) they inject too much in too short of a time period and the doctors they go to aren't very good at it, 2) they start too young, 3) there is a different standard wrt what is considered a good job in different parts of the world and Hollywood is a league of its own when it comes to beauty standards which is why so many perfectly beautiful stars go under the knife in the first place.

Ty for explaining, most of what you said makes a lot of sense. But I have to disagree with them going to doctors who aren't very good at it, there's no way people like the Kardashians or rich others are going to shitty doctors. The rest of their surgery is decent looking except the fillers, same with a lot of other celebrities. Although like you said it makes sense theirs looks fucked cause they started too young, got too much too fast, and you brought up the standards being different in Hollywood which makes a lot of sense, like they probably get a lot of filler to look good in shooped photos and on their tv show as opposed to looking good face to face or walking by on the street.

>If you want to see normal-looking filler, you can go to the photo gallery and testimonials page of a good clinic and look for what interests you. Lots of nice examples and lots of perfectly normal looking people.

The only thing makes me sus about that is they usually only use photos taken hours, days, or weeks after the filler is done and I've heard that it can look very different over the course of a month or so. Also because they're a business they're only going to show their best results as a sort of advertisement.

The undereyes are one of the worst possible places to get filler, you’re so ignorant. The skin around the eyes is the most delicate skin on the face, and expanding it by injecting a ton of shit beneath causes premature wrinkles and sagging. The weight of the filler pulls at and drags down the skin around the eyes. It’s funny that you used that as an example because a lot of plastic surgeons won’t inject the undereyes due to the risk involved. You’re fucking yourself over by messing with your face, and making rich surgeons richer. Everyone else can see how bloated and botched people with fillers look, you just can’t see it on yourself because you’re insecure and unintelligent.

AYRT, I've never had undereye filler (and am kind of wary of it since it's a very tricky spot, so the wrong injector can really fuck it up) but I've had filler in other places and it looks good depending on which filler you get and how it's done, as well as your own bone structure, fat distribution etc.
My first time I got nasolabial filler which did migrate because it's soft tissue and an area that moves a lot. I got it redone at another clinic after a year and that time around the doctor injected the cheekbone only, but the filler was reabsorbed. Then I went to a third clinic and this time they did it right, it looked wonderful. This was all with one to 1,5 years in-between btw, and that was the only procedure I've ever had (so no Botox, surgeries and so on).
It's worth noting that all the ladies at the reception looked naturally gorgeous at the third clinic, as did the doctor treating me, which won me over after I commented on it and they listed all the things they had done kek.

Good to know, I've been thinking about the nasolabial area as well but that's the one that scares me the most because of people like Kylie who have that sort of cat like puffy upper mouth and cheek area kek. But it's nice to hear about positive experiences with it, my cousin got hers done once as well and it looked awesome, very subtle too. But she didn't get any more after that and it sort of dissolved over time so I'm not sure if she wasn't happy with it or just didn't want to continue getting it done. Every 6 months seems really frequent to me too, if I were to get it done I'd probably let it dissolve almost completely before getting more just to avoid any potential migration or overfilling. And yeah I've heard about how difficult the eye area can be, and that tear troughs are especially difficult to treat and can actually make it worse sometimes so I probably wouldn't get any eye stuff done until much later in life. Thanks so much for explaining this to me and letting me know about your experience with it.

>Drawing on government data and published studies, they found Black and mixed race women of African descent face disadvantages rooted in racist assumptions in medical education, policymaking, and health service delivery.

>Medical textbooks, for example, teach childbirth based on a pelvic shape common to European women yet highly variable among women of other ethnicities, increasing their risk of obstetric intervention, the report said.


>Many doctors also learn, incorrectly, that Black people feel less pain because of thicker skin and are less likely to experience postpartum hemorrhage because their blood clots more quickly, the report added.

>In one study Trawalter and her collaborators designed, members of the NCAA Division I medical staff read a case concerning a student athlete with a torn ACL. Participants were randomly assigned either a Black student or a white one, with everything else about the case remaining the same. They then answered questions about the case (How painful was the injury, on a scale of 1-4?) and questions designed to measure their own racial attitudes (Do you agree or disagree? Irish, Italians, Jews, and other minorities overcame prejudice and worked their way up. Blacks should do the same without any special favors.)

>As the researchers predicted, participants generally assigned lower pain ratings to the Black students. Surprisingly, however, there was no correlation between participants’ answers to the questions about their racial attitudes and the pain ratings they gave Black patients (relative to white patients). In other words, “even participants who have very positive racial attitudes show this bias,” Trawalter said.

>Racism operates through complex mechanisms, compromising social support which has an effect on health status and access to health care (Karlsen & Nazroo, 2002b). Institutional racism can also lead to the identification and reification of ethnic minority groups as different (Miles, 1989), as well as their social and economic exclusion (Paradies et al., 2015). In health care, racism has been shown to be associated with health service use outcomes such as lack of adherence to treatment uptake and delay in receiving adequate health care (Ben et al., 2017). In Sweden, for example, foreign-born patients have been shown to be less likely to receive adequate care in regard to heart failure medications as well as receiving lower rates of beta blockers than medically recommended (National Board of Health and Welfare, 2008). Asian and Black patients were found to be less likely to receive kidney transplant compared with White patients in a study in 36 European countries (Tjaden et al., 2016). Perceived racism is associated with lack of trust in health care and with refraining from seeking health care (Wamala et al., 2007).

>The conundrum of accessibility to health care resources was described by another participant, a Swedish woman of Somali origin who discussed how her labor pain was not taken seriously, leading to the worst sort of outcome, despite her repeated efforts to get help.


>Sometime back I was pregnant and I went to the maternity/delivery hospital because of severe pains and they sent me back home, saying that I was not ready (to give birth). The next day I stopped feeling the baby’s movement and the contractions stopped, so I was worried (. . .) I went to the hospital that evening again, this time I had excruciating pains and they told me that the baby is asleep and you are only 5 centimetres open. They called the doctor and they ran some tests and told me that they think the baby is either dead in my stomach or it is sleeping. So we will check to confirm and then see what to do, either to operate you when the baby is sleeping and/or do a procedure if the baby is dead.


>The participant also spoke of other women with Somali background in Sweden who had lost their babies, as they were not offered adequate antenatal care. Even though it is not possible to prove that this rationing of care is a result of “race” as it is often veiled, it works through invisible processes of (non)selection, with tangible effects on individuals. Often minority ethnic women’s expressions of pain in health care encounters are seen as exaggerated and overly emotional (Bowler, 1993) and therefore rationed as a non-priority. We argue that experience such as that described by the above-mentioned participant should not merely be seen as an isolated case but should be situated in the broader context in Sweden where it has been shown that women from Sub-Saharan African countries have statistically significant higher perinatal mortality rate compared with the general population (Essén et al., 2000).


And as the other anon said, this isn't even about race alone. Women all over the world have had fucked up experiences. Plastic surgery is one of the worst, it's often where you go if you want to get lied to, botched, and then gaslit.

You could maybe make something similar with a low weight yarn (anywhere from super fine to light) and using it to make either a crochet or knit chain. The Ana Luisa site says the cord is nylon, and nylon yarn is easily findable. For the charm, I was able to find ones similar to that on Amazon by searching " rhinestone pendant link" and "rhinestone connector". I was able to find those the little cylinder in the middle by searching "barrel clasp". If I were to do this, I would make two chains and just tie them into the pendant.

A post made by an anon asking if she's still a virgin after being eaten out made me wonder… At what point do lesbians consider having lost their virginity?

No. 1698533

>>1698491
I think it's the same across all sexualities. There's usually a delineation where manual sex (handjobs, fingering) and oral sex (blowjobs, cunnilingus, anilingus) do not constitute loss of virginity, but intercourse or frotting do. Once you get into less common sex acts (figging, mammary intercourse, etc), or conservative/Christian couples who specifically use intercrural sex to "stay virginal", is where it gets a little hazy. Essentially, two schools of thought: the first is that only "genital to genital contact" results in loss of virginity. The second is engaging in any sex acts means someone is no longer a virgin.
So for lesbians, either any form of sex is a loss of virginity (including getting eaten out as in your example), or she is no longer a virgin once she engages in tribadism or vaginal penetration with a strap-on. Pick your poison.

You can use conditioner with oily hair, just don't put it directly onto your roots or bangs if you have them—just put it on the ends to help avoid excess oil. I don't think conditioner can actually damage your hair if that's what you mean, iirc it just coats the hair strands.

Not really, the concept of melancholia has been around since Ancient Greece as a way of attempting to explain depression-like symptoms and basically many cultures historically have some evidence of people committing suicide and experiencing lethargy/low moods, with all sorts of different explanations as to why. I imagine the way that people interpret their own feelings of depression changed after things like the DSM were invented and the concept of 'mental disorders' became public knowledge, but the idea that depression is purely some modern problem that can always be solved by doing manual labor and not thinking too hard about it doesn't seem to be accurate imo. Having some structure to your life and keeping busy can definitely be helpful but lots of people living today are rural farmers and there's no way all of them are thriving mentally.

Not to derail too much from my initial question or to twist your words, but don't people commit suicide over trauma, like sexual assault, CSA or wartime PTSD? Wouldn't their suicide be a result of whoever caused it? I don't think that would be manipulative or unreasonable. Unless you mean for this context exclusively

I'm gonna sound harsh and like it's so simple but after an awful childhood, a rocky 20s and now pretty chill 30s, you do that out of spite. Who is gonna suffer if I put myself down? Me. Those awful things my family said and did to me, or when they ignored me and I still feel like I need to ignore my own needs and sometimes think back to how they made it sound like I was a piece of shit even as a kid? OK, that's just like your opinion man and that shit wasn't true, isn't true and that situation cannot happen again and I am my own fucking person, who is responsible of my own emotions and future, past wasn't my fault, it doesn't benefit me in any way to slip into the depression trauma spiral. Yeah I'm not at the same place in life as my peers but hey, they didn't go through what I did and I live for myself and put myself first always. It took over a decade to get to where I am now but I think the main things are: It cannot happen again, the awful things done and said have already been done, even though it feels illogical to you, it wasn't your fault, they shouldn't have done that, it wasn't normal. The only one who suffers from you feeling worse than others is you, fake it till you make it if you must, but your brain telling you you somehow suck because others treated you like shit?

It sounds silly because it's called "The British Museum" but it's purposefully multicultural, that much is clear on its website. A giant collection, constant exhibitions. It's its USP in the most tourist heavy areas of Britain.

Seriously what the fuck is the reason for this phenomenon. You meet one fat girl with died hair or tattoos and 9/10 times they'll tell you their favorite movie is a nightmare before christmas. What's the deal? (I know fat smelly guys love halloween too but I've only seen fat stinky women go hard for the holiday) I'm not a scrote I'm just a retail worker who hates having to go near the halloween section bc of all the smelly fat people there.

a Farmer fatty here, I'm not a raging Halloween fan who gets stuff for it, but I do know many people like that, my theory is that for many childhood/teenager fatties being alternative or gothic was a shield and for many, they never grow out of it. Now they have the money and shein shit to match with the obsession, that's one of my theories at least.

I vented already about this but I wanted to ask something since I’m a new gym goer (ok i’m not but i used to be morbidely obese)
Why are women at the gym so rude to fat girls or chubby girls who are working their ass off?! They just take over whatever their boyfriend taught them admittedly look fit and gorgeous after training for a “short time” (ahum years) and then look down on fat girls who are doing their work out good. Why do that when you look good? Everyone begins somewhere and if you had the privilege to be fit as a kid ok good for you.

Anon, I think it might all be in your head. I get frustrated with little gym bunny girls constantly taking videos in their cute outfits sometimes because I’m an athlete and I go to the gym to train hard for several hours wearing non-cute stuff lmao but they aren’t paying attn to me and I have to brush it off bc it’s not hurting me that they exist. They wanna take selfies, check their “pump” in the mirror, and do lower body exercise only kek. I can promise they’re not thinking about anyone but themselves and maybe their bf if they came w him. As someone who is in the “extreme fit” (I feel like such a douchelady saying that I’m so sorry) category myself, I personally don’t have any hate or judgment for chubby/big girls at the gym. I genuinely love seeing women get after it. If you are being legit treated poorly at your gym tho, maybe find a different one!

It is in my head if I said I live rent free in their heads. I don’t. But fat women that are fit live rent free in their heads. Like legit.
I got into a conversation with a beautiful fit woman and she seems so nice, but she tbh gave bad advice about form of squatting, like that i shouldnt have my knees over toes (even though my torso is short as fuck). And then the less fit woman (but not fat at least) butted in and said i should buy an elastic band etc…and i was grateful about that. Until she said shit like “ur squat isnt the worst” (even though it was good) and “you’re probs not flexible enough for a squat” (even though i can squat and do the split?…) and then contradicts herself when she said she squats differently from the other girl because every body is different…idk, her tone of voice was also just rude. I also dislike the stares from fit women.

Isn't this like squatting 101? This is what I was taught for my whole life. Not saying it's the 100% right way of doing it because I'm not a fitness pro but this is the most common tip people receive about squatting, back straight and knees not going over toes.

No. 1702097

nayrt but it seems more to be a general guideline like the "bend your knees to 90°" instead of a hard and fast rule. i see people whose knees go over their toes all the time but it's by 10-20° or so, which seems to be accepted as ok

What is the deal with those women who are seX wOrKerS who have other options, but complain about how hard it is constantly? Like just do something else if you hate it so much?? For example I know a number of women at uni who do it. They have a student loan, and could easily get a part time job in retail or food service or a bar rather than stripping or ewhoring, but choose “sex work” and complain about how hard it is. I simply do not understand this logic

ESL question here: why do people compliment pregnant women by saying they're "glowing" specifically? I just noticed now that this word is always used with pregnant women as opposed to just saying they look beautiful or happy, what's the nuance?

No. 1702141

>>1702140
Esl too but I think it's the way sometimes women's skin gets better, hair thicker and they all around look healthier when pregnant. Some go the opposite way but honestly I kinda think it's just something nice to say to a woman who is almost certain to feel kinda shitty, kinda bloated, kinda like a human aquarium

No. 1702155

Like 50% of married men admit that they cheat, and there’s probably a lot more who refused to admit to it. The number of unmarried men in serious relationships who admit to cheating is way higher, and then there’s the fact that men don’t count buying strippers and hookers as cheating, and buy them regularly.

I’m gonna get shit for this but here we go. It’s common for both sexes. Even other long-term monogamous animals (birds) of both genders have been shown to frequently cheat on each other. Males might do it at a higher rate than us, but with women’s increased sexual and socio-echonomical freedom we are catching up with them. It sucks, but working on your co-dependency and internalizing that all humans have the capability of acting selfish helps.

I used to be in a relationship where the sex was mediocre but I stoically held on, while he ended up cheating on me. Right now I have a new moid where sex is off the charts good and he’s an all around great person, but honestly now that I am no longer with my oneitis, even I feel kind of intimidated by the prospect of only being with this guy for the rest of my life. Like I love good sex and it’s not something that keeps me up at night, but will it be as good 20 years down the road kek. Who knows. Maybe it keeps on giving, maybe we lose the passion. I think it’s better to have realistic expectations, patience with your partner and communicate your needs, but even then one of us might still end up cheating one day or falling in love with someone else. Of course people should be held accountable for their actions and cheating is selfish and wrong, but no matter how much it sucks it’s also super normal. I think you become more pragmatic about these things as you age.

people are freaking out about birthrates, and i don't get the problem really. of course i know that elderly people need to be taken care of, so people are concerned that there's not enough offspring to support the eldery, especially in Japan. but it's not like there are no solutions. we've reached the age that I've always predicted to come, where robots are capable of many tasks normally given to human entities. why not just embrace the robots and allow the potato peelers care for old people? wages in that sort of work should be increased of course, but overall it just seems like a natural progression society doesn't want to accept. for Japan particularly, they have almost 40,000 orphans in their system. I don't think a declining birthrate is a problem when it's evident that so many Japanese people do not want children to begin with, forcing those who are born anyway into a difficult life. so my question is, am i stupid for thinking like this?

But no you're not dumb to think like this, the "birthrate low bad" is only applicable to politicians really because it means they either have give higher incentive to make babies or burn in the long run. No matter where they lean, they don't want to do it, they don't want to face reality so they blame feminism or the current generation and so on so forth.

Funny because I used to be a care worker and people who don't know me well always try to argue with
>but who will care for you when you're old!

etc when I say I won't have kids. In my country they import people from the Philippines and Africa to care for the elderly because supposedly there aren't enough people here to care for them. Except there are, the job just pays extremely poorly. You get treated like shit by everyone: families of the customer, managers, the customer themselves. Lots of them are super racist and difficult and act like little kids, and the carers aren't taught our local language well at all. The demands people make are crazy and we had very little to work with since whoever owns these companies just wants to make money.
I got out of there as soon as I could, the hours, the shit salary and abuse weren't worth it. My ex who I dated at the time was a software engineer and his company gave him so many things for fucking free. I was extremely jealous because we got nothing.
The families and the patients are super ungrateful and bossy, and most families won't give a shit about their mother or grandma or visit very often at all. Women had friends in the home, those who weren't super demented at least. Old men were lonely and some were really disgusting towards the workers.
I don't care that we're having less babies, frankly. I'll go in peace when I get there, I'd never stay in a care home like that ever again or put another human through having to deal with my runny geriatric shits.

I stopped posting and lurking for a while because the infighting was getting annoying, I couldn’t make 1 post without someone replying something aggressive for no reason. I get the banter but lately it seems like nonnies are just mad and looking for an argument, the banter isn’t fun anymore.

Does anyone here use nootropics? What do you take? I'm thinking about trying Lion's Mane for its cognitive benefits

How could I give these trousers a more feminine touch? Planning on wearing them with the same style Mary Janes

Samefag, also, might be massively overthinking this kek, but am I right in thinking that flat Mary Janes look better with wide/straight trousers that end below the ankle? I have the impression that sometimes MJs can make your feet look big if you either pair them with culottes that end above the ankle or tight fitting pants

I have dark hair and some facial features that make people assume I'm a foreigner, I've had it in school where only muslim girls wanted to be friends until they found out I wasn't muslim to people in stores speaking English to me out of the random. People can think what they want but I'm so sick of being treated like a minority when I'm not and also be rejected by minorities once they see my last name. This is so stupid but does anyone experience this as well?

Cute nonna! I think it will never look super feminine but adding a cute belt and a white top like a turtleneck or a cropped frilly one though the latter might make it a bit too sadbbydoll. Also some layered necklaces, a fuzzy jacket with it would look nice too for when it's colder. Best of luck!

I would change the style of the top. Either a tighter sweater, or a buttoned shirt with a sweater vest (yes this can look feminine - like a cute bookish feminine). Personally I like jewel tones, white, cream, or earthy colors with khakis. Anything too bright ends up looking strange or like a uniform imo. So maybe maroon, navy, grassy green (this could be brighter), a dark mahogany brown, or black. Then add a delicate necklace, maybe?

I don't think you need to add pastels or frills to make it feminine but of course those are other options. I struggle wearing pastel colors because they make me look ill, but if you have the undertones for it, maybe a newborn duck yellow would be interesting.

I think a fitted, v-neck cardigan like picrel would be nice. The tight top + loose bottoms creates a nice silhouette on most people as well

the cardigan is kind of the only salvageable thing in this outfit, kek.

I don't like the sandals but those pants are great

KEK yea it's a weird mix but the only photo I could find that showed what I meant and had similar-ish trousers. The sandals are fug but I like the cardigan and pants, maybe not together though
