How do i unplackpill myself and turn myself into a normie pickme woman? No matter where i go, no matter where i look, in every book, every conversation, every statement, any group, any industry, any ideology, any belief is ALWAYS infected with misogyny. The thought that these are the people i have to interact with, are available to be my friends and work for and offer services to makes me wanna unironically kill myself. What is the point? What is the point of anything if i'm seen as subhuman? As less than a dog?
>just decenter moids and focus on becoming friends with other women!
Women don't care that scrotes act the way they do, they even like it and support it. There is endless evidence of who scrotes really are, it could it them in the face and they still wouldn't be able to collectively agree on a simple statement like "men are dangerous", they still would regurgitate "b-but equality between the sexes! two wrongs don't make a right!" But then do the exact opposite and scrutinize women for the smallest thing while uplifting moids for not being a wife-beater and think he's soo funny for acting like a porn-addict instead. The only way to survive life as woman is either becoming NEET or becoming a pickme if you want to interact with society.

>>2412640Tbh, maybe your English teacher did not know English very well. My friend works for a well known, prestigious school as an English teacher, and most of the other teachers are shit. Some of them only speak broken English and are responsible for teaching small children. And others are so retarded, they think they're experts but can't even figure out homophones.
The only time I can think of using that phrase is when somebody uses emphasis on something they MUST do. "I have GOT to get out of here", "I have GOT to quit this job", and the emphasis is to drive home their desperation.
Sorry your English teacher screwed you like that, good job figuring out the proper grammar.

>>2412640I don't think "I have got…" is an unnatural formation at all, it's actually a very common one and it's used quite frequently in spoken English. It might sound unnatural to you because usually it's heard in in the contracted form, e.g. "I
've got" or "S/he
's got."
The teacher might have been teaching it to you because of its frequency of use, or it might have been because the teacher was trying to make a point of highlighting that "to have" is also an auxiliary verb used in the construction of certain tenses.

>>2412648I'll counter with a few of my own stupid questions: when was the last time you did volunteer work for a local women's charity or shelter? When was the last time you engaged in fundraising to support local women? When was the last time you held a meeting to counter misogyny?
If you want friends that are conscious of societal misogyny and desire to lift women up, then you have to go to places where these types of women are and do activities that these type of women do. You can't just sit on your computer and whine, you actually have to go and be part of something. I used to complain about how nobody read, but once I started a monthly book club suddenly I started meeting so many people that read.

>When was the last time you held a meeting to counter misogyny?I have not done this. But how would you even go about this? Virtue signaling about girl power and all of the other libfem shit we've heard about doesn't actually help women. The truth is that scrotes are the problem. But like i've said before we can't even get women to
try to develop pattern recognition of men's violence towards women. I've made this post
>>2358936 a while ago on how the only way to
start some class consciousness in women and the only shit that will get us out of this societal shithole position is basically a female supremacist movement and that women need to be selfish like men are so it the power imbalance between men and women balances out but i don't even know if that's possible. Most women are mega moralfags who get off on being a martyr and many of them want to marry a scrote and bear their children, more than anything i think their opposition to being selfish and putting their own wants and needs first is their desire for children and a lot of normies have black and white simplistic thinking so it just contradicts with women's mindset and beliefs of being kind and empathrtic even if they never receive reciprocation.

>But how would you even go about [holding a meeting to counter misogyny]?Lots of ways. You could start a book club that features feminist literature, you could create a fundraising drive where you bake goods to sell for money to donate to women's charities, you could hold presentations where women are informed about topics that pertain to women's health and wellness, etc.. There are many ways of going about it, you just have to brainstorm.

you are the one that has extremely simplistic black and white thinking.
No. 2412783
>>2412738All of those things are great nona, the thing is that women donate, go to these events, and even read feminist literature but they still spend loads of money on beautification rituals for a scrote that looks like shit and treats them like shit, act like a retard and laugh when their sociopathic scrote talks about a woman's genitals in a pornographic and degrading way. They shit on and ocstracize women along with scrotes for being not attractive enough, for being too "weird" or too "annoying" so basically for no reason, for not falling in line and having opinions considered unnapropiate for a woman and god forbid if it's about misogyny but since subjugation of women is normal it's not even seen as misogyny, and even hate on DV and rape
victims and even side with the scrote often. While a moid can talk openly about being into guetto gaggers, cheating and being a wife beater and their life is completely unnaffected.
>It actually seems that you are the one that has extremely simplistic black and white thinking.But where was i wrong in my analysis? Women defend moids the way the would nevef defend women. If women don't see anything wrong with the culture around them and
don't want to see it, what can be done?

You live in an ivory tower and then you wonder why you're lonely.
You view yourself as someone with a very heightened understanding of society, as one that can see its flaws clearly. You treat everyone as though they are beneath you, because they aren't as awakened or conscious as you. That false sense of superiority is what prevents you back from making friends.
You expect everyone else to meet you at your level, but you refuse to ever meet them at their level. If you feel as though the women around you aren't conscious of their status in society or aren't familiar with feminist theory, the answer isn't to shame them or to look down on them, it's to meet them at their level of understanding so that you can help them grow and learn.

I wanna know what world you live in where porn isn't mainstream and considered normal, where vulgar language of women is not considered part normal vocabulare, where scrotes and women aren't misogynistic and don't call women less intelligent and capable than men, emotional, not suited for positions of power, not being reduced to incubators, not critized and blamed for not being kind enough to offer yourself as a punching bag to incels and now it's your fault they are upset.

What is the point of living? Donating to charities, shelters and events where women talk about how sex work is work, how much they hate trannies or recite some 70s feminist just for them and all those women to go to their scrotes who partake and uplift the same thing these women swear they're trying to dismantle? Going to clubs to talk about how to be fair and equal between the sexes and "it's just as bad when women do it", when scrotes enthusiastically voice out how they don't want to be equal and their positions is at the top while women's is below them and constantly enforce these dynamics? It doesn't matter how many books you read or how much money you throw into a hole, it's futile if women can't admit that men hate them and they need to stop servicing them.

Another thing you might want to try is tonic water that has quinine in it. It's bitter but it is used to treat leg cramps and it's really easy to find at the grocery store.

You're looking for somebody who fulfills the archetype of an attention whore, a scammer, or both. Some people lie about a disability for internet points, and those people get addicted to the sense of superiority it gives them. This type may collect more illnesses to stack up their "oppression" deck, or they might get too eager and overplay their hand. You're trying to catch them in a contradiction.
Also watch out for illness fakers who don't necessarily collect illnesses, but other kinds of "oppression". They start "discovering" racial identities and such.

>>2413641I've been friends with multiple people with OCD and what you're talking about sounds like things they would mention. I think you might have it, anon. The things you're talking about don't sound like "any" mental illness, but OCD specifically.
If it's getting really bad, try medication for it? I've seen a lot of anons on this site talking about how it really helped them get relief from their symptoms
Here are two anons in the Autism/ADHD thread talking about Prozac, specifically, as an example.
>>>/ot/2413036>>>/ot/2413131 No. 2413667
>>2413647Thank you anon. I hate to say it, but I've actually been on Prozac before. I've been on so many medications since childhood (I was a mental illness dumpster fire even back then) that I can't even remember all of them. The weird thing is that none of them ever seem to have any effect on my mental illnesses. I have been called treatment-resistant in the past.
My sibling with OCD, is on medication, but needs such a high dose that they are basically a non-functioning zombie. They can't even groom themselves. IDK how much of that is their meds and how much of that is their OCD though tbh.
I tried therapy again as an adult when my OCD first materialized and got very bad, but found none of the therapists seemed to have any solutions for me other than sympathizing saying "that's hard." At my last ever appointment, I was at a breaking point, and in desperation asked her "do you have any tools I could use to help me with these thoughts?" and she told me there was no such thing. I had been seeing her for months but quit after that session. I have since seen that there are supposedly specialized therapists for OCD, but their rates are so crazy I will never be able to afford it. So I try my best to manage it myself, but it feels like I am fighting my own mind 24/7 and I only win like half the time no matter how hard I try.
Lately I have been really wanting to tell my parents I have OCD so that they have some context for why I can seem to be doing fine one minute but completely retreat and hide away the next. They are always so accommodating (overly so) to my sibling, but I am not allowed to have more than a couple off days in a row before they start demanding I pull myself up by the bootstraps and stop being "ridiculous". But I am afraid they will not believe me, and will think I'm just trying to copy my sibling for sympathy points, especially because their reference point for OCD is someone completely non-functional, while I hold down a job and generally appear normal. So I'm really scared to tell them, also because I think they would ask for details and I'm not at all comfortable sharing them.

You might also be able to use a combination of different meds that aren't necessarily for OCD.

>>2414707I did this and I love never having a period or period pain. No noticeable side effects for years.
>>2414744I would say that "unpredictable and unreliable" is weird scaremongering and "more often than not comes with side effects worse than PMS" is likely just factually inaccurate, but a fairer assessment might be "hormonal birth control doesn't work for everyone so be judicious in assessing how it affects you and if you have a reasonable prescriber."
No. 2414878
>>2414707You have a few options. With birth control pills, there are 3 weeks of birth control and 1 week of sugar pills. To stop having a period, you keep taking the pills with birth control instead of the sugar pills.
With a nuvaring, instead of taking it out after 3 weeks to bleed for 1 week, you put a new one in right after. You can do this 3x in a row before you have to have at least one period so you don't risk osteoporosis.
With the above methods, you need your doctor on board in order to keep prescribing the correct amount of birth control for you. With a hormonal IUD (NOT copper), it's inserted and you have mild bleeding from the insertion for a few days to a week. Then your cycle still continues as your body adjusts to it. This one is the least consistent because everyone's body reacts differently to the IUD. Your period could stop within a few months, half a year, or after a year. Some women have their periods stop after two years. Even after it stops, you might have a break through period or three as your body continues to adjust. You might also need the IUD removed and reinserted if it's crooked, or if it's a dud in some way.
There is also a surgical option called "endometrial ablation". This is considered a more "last resort" option for women who have ungodly heavy periods or bleeding that doesn't stop. Your obgyn essentially inserts a tool into your uterus through your vagina and cervix to "destroy" the lining of the uterus. This greatly reduces bleeding, and there's a good chance menstruation will stop. It's very rare, but the lining may grow back after the procedure. Because the uterine lining is damaged, and that's where the zygote implants, it could lead to pregnancy complications (failure to carry to term, health complications, etc). So you don't want this one if you're planning on kids in the future, BUT you still need to use protection or birth control because you may still become pregnant.

>>2416570Copper is absolutely
toxic to cells. And yes, we need a certain amount of copper for our cells to function, but too much is a bad thing. That's why copper IUDs work, they're
toxic enough to kill sperm by disrupting its ability to swim, as well as
toxic enough to prevent implantation if a sperm does reach an egg, but not enough copper to kill most other cells.

Separate question: Is it possible for me to be autistic even though I don't have any social issues? I'm quiet and introverted but I can read social situations and facial expressions easily. I rarely ever commit a faux pas.
The reason I think I might be is because I have a lot of other typically autistic traits: Repetitive movements, repetitive sounds, aversion to certain textures and foods. I have a few autistic friends and they sometimes say I seem autistic, but my understanding is that you can't be autistic without having any social difficulties.

I always get mixed messages on how much Japan does or does not acknowledge its actions in WW2 and before. I do know that there have been a scattering of times throughout the decades of politicians apologizing for their treatment of the Koreans, and Chinese, sometimes they'll give some words about POWs. I've also been told that in Japan's schools when they go over WW2 they do tend to center themselves as the ultimate
victims because they got nuked but I always wonder about the specifics. Do they really teach it as 'yeah meanie US stopped trading with us so we had to le epic troll them by doing Pearl Harbor along with the Philippines bc why not and they went to war with us and nuked us sadface but its ok because we're besties now".

victim with the nuclear bombs that they were bombed with so they feel no remorse sense they have a
victim card of their own. Add to it that they rose from the ashes after that and developed as a country and didn't let the bombing ruin their future forever, so they basically have no regrets in a way.

Both parties should at least agree ahead of time that they want to get married, and what they expect from a marriage (if they want kids/how many, where they want to live, etc). With that on the table, it's the nigel's job to plan the proposal. He doesn't even need a ring to propose with - for my nigel and I, we've agreed that he'll propose without a ring so we can choose one together. I've always balked at the idea of letting him pick the ring on his own, but even if he did, I love him enough to say yes, yet I'm also secure enough in our relationship to say "That shit's ugly" when that shit is indeed ugly. If I was scared to tell him he got me an ugly ring, I wouldn't marry him.

We know the majority of men are closeted homos and crave for cock/a warm shithole then why is it that the prevalence of male homicide victims that have also been raped so low? It is mostly small kids or teens who get the short end of the straw. You'd chalk it up to the similarity of their builds which makes rape harder than compared to a smaller woman but we know being alive has never stopped men.
…or perhaps what actually happens is that law efforcement or/and the families spare those kind of details for the sake of the male victim's "honor"? A while ago in my country there was a gruesome murder where the fact that the male victim (in his thirties) was brutally raped was initially omitted by all media until the details got leaked by a police officer. The family sued the entire police department because that very fact had tarnished the man's memory (their words, not mine. I remember remember how the brothers and mother appeared on tv breaking down in tears that word had got out their relative had been a victim of rape, more than the crime itself if it makes sense?). So this makes me wonder if IT might be the case here.

I've been living with my friend as roommates for 2 years and it had never bothered me before but recently I noticed she has a specific smell… which I really don't like, it smells bad.
It's not that she has bad hygiene or anything, it's literally just her own specific body smell that everyone has Ig and I just never noticed it before.
What can I do to avoid "getting" the same smell? I know I sound like a bitch but it's gotten to the point where I avoid having her over in my room because I dislike it so bad…
Am I insane? I really don't want to smell like that but it's not like I can just tell her that because it's not caused by poor hygiene it's just her natural smell.
She has a shitty diet so maybe that's it Idk maybe I smell like that to other people too…

Does a series selling out retroactively ruin a series for you?
How much responsibility for the respectability of an ip is on the original creators?
No. 2424578
>>2424528It depends tbh. Some series do well and still have quality when they sell out, some don't. It's a case by case thing. For Evangelion, wasn't its whole thing that it's anti-otaku or something? I'm not 100% sure because I never liked it and think it's overrated, but people who pretend to be smart for liking it say it is. In that case, it's really ironic that it became popular with otaku and weebs and became an iconic anime creeps and NEETs and weirdos love, then it gave in and went against its supposed message and started pandering to the audience it claimed to dislike and criticize. Makes me lose any respect for it. Seems disingenuous. If the original mangaka is involved in its current state, then yeah he's responsible for this, if not, he isn't and it's the fault of the people who own the rights to the IP using it that way.
Similarly, AoT also stopped being a more serious less shounen show and ended up selling out, but it's 100% the mangaka's fault because he wanted it that way. The additional recent content doesn't add to the story nor fix anything, it's absolute fan service trash.
An IP that I think was still nice when it sold out would be Winx Club. While lots of people dislike the changes because kids show bad, I didn't mind them personally. It still followed its goal, creative and modernized fairies, magic system, and world-building. The newer transformations (Believix onwards) where all modern and a new breath of fresh air with interesting main powers, especially Sirenix breaking the mold of water transformation=mermaid and instead, giving them emo/scene-esque diver suits. Cosmix having a 60s futurism and space inspired style is also creative to me. World of Winx transformations making them magical women instead was great to see. The music was great, the backgrounds were beautiful, some of the newer characters and storylines were interesting. I don't think it lost its magic, but got more magical instead and ditched the fantasy themes that I was never a big fan of. It's not as bad as people say at all. And thanks to them selling out, they're now working on a reboot with an even more modernized take and possibly new ideas and characters, and getting a chance to redo all the main big plot points right this time with less flaws and plot holes.

Are you able to get adderall in your country? Because it sounds like you're actually having trouble focusing. If not, start using magnesium before bed, doing at least an hour of hard exercise a day, and cutting out as much sugar as possible. Those will make it easier to focus.

i guarantee you that your primary roadblock is that you've fixated on the idea of learning rather than focusing on the act of it, the competence is often a byproduct of that rather than a precursor.

>>2424947Ritalin is just as good. Yeah, I've been on and off Adderall for thirteen years. It works amazing. When I first got on it, I thought that I was faking my ADHD and was just lazy, but it really has been life changing. Before Adderall, I would avoid basic tasks like eating and showering, instead I would sit there and do nothing while feeling an ever greater sense of panic and self hatred. On Adderall, I think "I need to study/shower/eat" and then I just get up and do it. Like magic.
Ideally, you take it to get through college and then you stop, because the less you take Adderall, the better. And I'll use the term Adderall as a stand in for any stimulant to treat ADHD, but this counts for Ritalin too. It makes you concentrate, and it overcomes executive dysfunction, but it does this by changing the receptors in your brain and by constantly activating your fight or flight system. So long term use, your sleep suffers, your brain becomes physically addicted to it, it fries your dopamine receptors, and it literally wears down your body. But this is with years of use.
One way to prevent the harmful side effects, is giving your body as much of a break from it as possible. So if you have to do classes Monday through Friday, then you don't take any Adderall on Saturday and Sunday. I'm going to be truthful, this way of doing it sucks. Your body is like a bank account, and the Adderall charges a bunch of debt to the credit card. So when you go off of it on those weekends, you suddenly have to pay up. You'll be sleepy, kinda exhausted, you'll either be nauseous and not want food or else you'll be ravenous, you'll have weak self control, and nothing will really make you happy or excited, because your body used up all its dopamine throughout the week. But the payoff for doing it like this is that normally, people start building a tolerance to Adderall pretty quickly, and so you need larger and larger doses to get the same effect, which is harder and harder on your body. And by taking weekend breaks, you really slow down how fast your body builds tolerance and give your body more time to repair. My friend and I got on Adderall at roughly the same time, but while I take it four days a week once daily, she takes it seven days a week twice daily. So thirteen years later, I only take 10 mg once daily and it still works great, and she takes 80 mg twice daily and she's really getting diminishing results.
So, in an ideal world, you would use it to get through the toughest studying period of your life and then wean yourself off of it. Living with ADHD with no medication looks like daily meditation, eating a diet low in sugar and high in leafy greens, supplementing with magnesium and a mutli-vitamin, and exercising every single day. Like I said, it was a life saver for me, but it messes with your brain chemistry, so it's going to take like a year for your brain to return to normal after you stop using it.
If you do decide that you want to go on it, there are some tricks that really help. One, you'll need a magnesium supplement. Your body is going to go through magnesium and electrolytes like nobody's business, so you're going to have to intake way more than an average person. Drink tons of water with electrolytes. Two, take it in the morning with protein. This ensures it activates quickly and you get the most out of each dose. Three, avoid taking anything with vitamin C one hour before or after taking it, as vitamin C nullifies it.
>I wish I knew how studying at college looks technicallyLook up Youtube videos. Seriously, if you never learned how to study, you can go online and learn how to study, and to study for college in particular.
>Do you also need to make presentations in front of the whole class like at school??You will have to do those, but it's very rare. I think I only ended up doing two in my entire four years. But that's the point of college, they teach you how to do skills that you will need in life.

>>2424689Good question. There are many factors, the label they work in, the trends at the time, the producers who work with them, the taste they personally have and the sound and vision they have for their music, the passion they have when they're just starting, trying to emulate their favorite artists etc. Once they succeed and make money, they get a little bit arrogant, lose their initial genuine sincere drive, and start thinking of it in terms of money and fame and how they can be even more successful, so they end up straying away from their original authentic sound and start copying and doing things they don't truly like or know anything about. They may move on to a bigger label, get a new more popular producer and so on, which all end up influencing the music and changing the quality of their sound. A big example of this imo is Linkin Park. When they started, they obviously had a passion for rock and metal, especially Chester with this singing and writing, although Mike Shinoda was more into rap and wanted to incorporate that somehow, and coincidentally Nu-metal was on the rise at the time so they hopped on a trend that actually fitted them at the time. But once Nu-metal died out, they wanted to get on with the times and they started incorporating a more pop/electronic sound, but it's just not their thing truly, they did it because they wanted to stay relevant.
Another factor in some other bands/for other artists is disputes between the members, creative differences, one thinking their ideas and taste is better than all the others, or a producer and label getting too involved and trying to change the artist/band's sound by force and threats, so they end up caving in and you can "hear" it in their music. The passion might also die with time but they have to keep pumping out albums because it's how they earn a living, and they start to resent it, so it shows in their music. Although I'd say a band like Cattle Decapitation has the opposite situation. They started a bit more generic and unoriginal, but with time developed their own distinct sound and style and got really comfortable in it and produced 4 consecutive masterpiece albums from 2012 until now. While their 1999-2010s albums were meh. Hearing the progression and improvement in their later albums is so satisfying. And it's because they've been working with the same producer for these last 4 albums and they seem to be on the same page while also each of them gets the spotlight somehow and does his little own thing. So no resentment or disagreements between the members. And it helps they're still a relatively obscure and indie band, so no fame or too much money to get into their heads and take away the passion. Idk of they have separate jobs and income sources though or if they make money from music only, but whatever they're doing is just working for them and is the perfect recipe for progress and longevity. I'm not an expert though, this is just an opinion and observation of mine.
For illustration, it's a physical practical skill before the creativity come into the picture. So the more someone draws, the better they are at it, mo matter how basic a design is. So naturally, they improve with time. The creativity is already there, they just need the means to show it and express it, and that being the ability to illustrate. The better they illustrate, the better the expression. Again, I'm not an artist or anything this is just speculation on my end. I hope you found your answer.

>>2424689Musicians improve their playing over time in the same way as an illustrator does, they become more technically proficient with practice. But you're talking about songwriting, and in that case creativity and inspiration are harder to sustain for a long period of time. Consistently coming up with new melodies or riffs or hooks forever is pretty much impossible without some loss of quality (or repeating yourself/stagnating, or plagiarizing, or changing in a way that old fans resent), and improved technical skills don't compensate for that.
I suppose artists can run out of ideas in the same way, but it probably won't make people seethe the way a famous band releasing a shitty album might.

>the man vs bear thing is essentially a thought experiment where specifically women are asked ‘would you rather be alone in the woods with a random bear or with a random man?’ the typical response to the question is the woman either having to stop and think for a moment, or sincerely answering they’d rather be in the woods with a bear. there’s a lot of factors as to why the bear feels like the favourable outcome. the specific setting is one of them - if a person you don’t know is alone in the woods, it kind of has an ominous feeling, like they might be there for negative reasons. meanwhile, bears just kind of live there already, if you’re gonna be in the woods and you live somewhere where there’s bears there might be bears. if the same question was asked with the specification that they were locked in a room instead, the answers would probably be different. additionally, women are gonna be nervous around unfamiliar lone men for pretty obvious reasons. of course it sucks for people to be judged based on their presented gender alone, but being raised in a culture so heavily entrenched in gender based violence and assault is gonna leave a lasting impact on most people raised as women. harassment and assault is a lot more common than a lot of cis men seem to realise, including in public. people tend to cite crime statistics as a response to that, when a huge majority of those instances go unreported, because what’s the point? one response i saw to the question was even ‘if i got killed by the bear at least people would believe me,’ which i think sums it up pretty well.[removed troon whining from quote]

>>2426060Depends on many things, kids do get bullied but nowadays it also includes getting memes made of them and passed around the school and maybe even outside the school, there's also even more shitty stuff regarding nudes and kids are having more sex than ever.
Teachers can't do much, the kids aren't interested in going to school most of the times so they're allowed to use their phone all day long, you can't take the phone away even as a teacher because you can get in trouble, all you can do is fill out reports.
Kids are irony poisoned so they constantly joke about killing themselves.
Teachers have to basically act like clowns to get a crumb of attention from the kids so they pay attention to the class.
Moid kids will try to find reasons to touch you or hit you regardless of how pretty you may or may not be.
Kids record themselves at school CONSTANTLY and love to try and take pictures of you, specially if you tell them that you don't want any pictures taken of you, so expect becoming a meme at some point.
There's no privacy, so delete your social media accounts or wipe them in case you have any sort of picture that could be considered embarrassing, a woman almost got killed because she complained to the director of a school since the kids said that she was dancing in a lewd way, she was just hanging out with her family, the mom of the child wanted the teacher dead of course.
You can't joke with them because they get offended by anything (like "hey, this exercise is for geniuses!" because it's difficult as fuck even for a university student)
They will do anything in their power to not work at school or at home, they use AI to make their papers and tests even, you're not allowed to fail them even if you have clear proof of their cheating in a test, all you can do is repeat the test over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over again.
They try to pry in your personal life and if you don't tell them everything about yourself you're not trying to stablish a relationship with them, this means telling them if you've had any boyfriends, why you go out, why they found you at so or so place and what were you doing there. You kind of can't use social media normally as well because the directive will check any posts you make btw (that honestly never affected me because I don't use social media but yeah).
Whatever material you prepare will be reviewed, if it's not considered good or easy enough, you will have to remake it even if it's for tomorrow morning, it will be entirely your fault if you don't do the test on time and everyone will hate your guts.
Kid will try to lynch you at any time possible and sabotage the class as much as possible, then complain to the direction if they don't understand the classes at all or if you get annoyed at them.
I can continue, I hate teaching in school, nowadays I work at a place where you teach small groups of kids that need extra classes to understand what they saw at school, most of the kids that go there are sweet except for one little faggot that I hope stubs his pinky toe for the rest of his life whenever he gets out of bed. Teaching small groups or kids individually is seriously better.

More a serious question but
How strong is Indian nepotism?
It's obvious Indians practice it significantly more than whites, but how far does it extend? Like, will an Indian hire or promote an Indian that isn't from their caste or group, or is it purely a caste/religion/regional thing? Going by recent online discourse, it seems like there is a sort of Hindu solidarity in the United States.
One writer I follow called Jayhant Bhandari, who spends his time disparaging India on twitter, says Indian nepotism really isn't like people think. He says it's purely exploitative, and they only really fill up companies with other Indians because they can better slave drive Indians. From the outside it may look like they support each other and promote their own, but he asserts it's the opposite and Indians are crass self serving individualists.
There was a temple that got built in the United States recently and the upper castes literally enslaved a bunch of lower castes to help build it. They stole their passports and wouldn't let them leave, and the court documents recorded they referred to the lower castes as "worms". So it's obvious the nepotism isn't a full ethno-religious nepotism like with the Ashkenazi Jews or Mormons. But at the same time even looking around where I live there does seem to be a strong preference for Indians to give opportunities to other Indians, they lock themselves in certain industries and only hire their own.

What's the difference between CBT, DBT, ACT and talk therapy? How do I know which one is the best for me?
No. 2427364
>>2427325This is going to be really simplified.
CBT: Your therapist shows you different ways of thinking of things and this tricks your brain into calming down. So if you're like "I hate my bellyfat and this makes me think I'm ugly, which causes me distress," your therapist then goes, "You shouldn't hate your bellyfat, this is an evolutionary choice by your body to prevent you from coming to harm during famines and pregnancy. Your body loves you and wants you to survive in any situation, so it provides this for you." At which point your brain goes, that's right! I don't have to hate myself for the way I was born, my body is just doing what's best for me! and so you no longer hate your body or feel stressed about it.
Sometimes, there are things that can't be changed, like your work situation. At which point, your therapist thinks up ways to reframe stuff so you don't hate your life so much. So instead of hating going into work, she'll have you pack yourself a little treat each day so you can look forward to lunch or think about how your paycheck is supporting your cat, who you love and want to be happy.
DBT: Are your emotions out of control all the time? Do you feel everything all at once? This one is for you. It's basically CBT, but for people who's emotional regulation is crazy off the charts (so BPD). This teaches you how to regulate your emotions enough that you're not self destructing and pushing away everyone you love. You can do the groundwork for this one yourself by looking up the charts and tips that these therapists will give you.
ACT: This therapy can honestly be summed up with "I must accept the things I cannot change, and change the things I cannot accept." and then your therapist helps you do that.
Talk therapy: Basically useless. This is for people who have no one in their life that they can be honest with, but they want to be heard and talk themself through issues while someone is listening. You can honestly do this with an AI chat bot, except it won't cost $100 an hour.
And you didn't mention it, but EMDR therapy: For some reason, if you relive a memory while bouncing your eyes back and forth, and you process the memory in a more healthy way, your brain rewrites the memory and the trauma surrounding it. Say you're in a car crash and your friend dies. It causes you horrible trauma and you flash back to it constantly and are always thinking about everything you could have done. You go to a therapist, they perform EMDR therapy while walking you through the memory. At key points while you're talking about the memory, she points out how you did everything you could, and that if you could time travel today, you would fix it, so it is pointless to feel guilt about it since there are no further actions that can ever be taken. Your brain internalizes that and fixes you.
The funny thing about this is, this one is so powerful that if you imagine that your friend lived while doing this therapy, even though it isn't the truth, your brain still rewrites the memory and makes it less traumatic. I recommend this one above all others, but you need an experienced therapist who knows what they are doing, because a bad therapist can actually rewrite the memory to be worse, and it can cause you to kill yourself.

How do I stop feeling bad about the fact that I didn't sleep with an incredibly hot guy on our first date even though I wanted to?
I rejected him because I thought it would be much more fun to go all the way later and we were also both drunk and sleep deprived.
The only reason I regret this is that it's completely possible we might never see each other again (even though there was talk about going on a second date sometime later) since he's a person I met through a dating application. I also keep wondering if he would have been more willing to meet up with me in the future if I did put out the first time we met each other. I don't know if this makes much sense.
I've been thinking about this almost obsessively for days now and I feel stupid in more ways than one because of it.

I also think it wouldn't be a good idea to message him again after he left me in the seen-zone as that'd comd across as way too pushy and I want to give him some space. If he wants to see me, he'll be the one to contact me in this situation.

>>2428759You should see your primary care physician and tell them. They should run a blood test to check your hormone levels. It could be a number of things, usually doctors give women with menstrual irregularities a PCOS diagnosis without checking much further than blood results (in my experience). Your PCP can refer you to a gyno if needed. High stress levels can also cause irregular periods.

Elon changed Twitter to X, not Xitter. But some people do call it Xitter, which I find extremely hilarious and appropriate; every time I read Xitter, I pronounce it as "shitter".

>>2412624Other anons have already replied, but…
While that construction without the contraction is not outright wrong, I agree with others that it sounds unnatural, though I'm also ESL. It is used, but probably not frequently, like
>>2412659 said.
And I, too, had kinda shit English teachers that didn't know the language that well, even at the university level. And I studied Linguistics. Sometimes I knew for sure that I was better than them. I remember one time I thought a teacher's example sentence was wrong, and a classmate that I barely ever talked to whispered to me asking "wait, shouldn't it be x?". I only remember about 3 teachers whose fluency and knowledge actually amazed me. I went to public school, but I've also witnessed what the average private school English teacher is like. They're about the same level or worse, I swear literally anyone could teach English at a private school where I live if they're Catholic.
So it's hard tell if the reason your teachers taught you that was because they knew their stuff or because they sucked at English.
>>2412658>And others are so retarded, they think they're experts but can't even figure out homophones.Kek, one of my Phonetics (or was it Advanced English?) teachers couldn't even tell where the dʒ sound in "soldier" was.

>>2431315Anons can give you quick tips in here, but there's also a cleaning thread on /g/ if you want to ask for more in depth advice!
>>>/g/72052I'd look into the way people organize their houses for "ADHD". The main ideas are "containers" and "visual contact". Put containers in places you frequent because somebody with ADHD does not want to travel to put something away when they can drop it, and keep important things visible.
For instance, placing small trashcans in areas they frequent (if you tend to leave tissues on the couch, put a small wastebin next to the couch). Or if someone always takes their coat off at the door and drops it at the couch, put a coat hook there. You can't take medications on an empty stomach? Pill organizer on top of a box you keep granola bars in. Are you always finding piles of clothes behind your bedroom door where you throw them after a shower? Small hamper there. You want the shortest distance from A to B (within reason kek).
As an example for "visual contact", my pills are in the middle of the kitchen table, not on top of the fridge, so I see them every time I walk by. I was always losing my keys until I trained myself to put them and my wallet in a dish by the front door (another use of containers).
After your initial home organization, don't be surprised if you find it chafing. You may need to redo or reorder your system a few times. It took me about three overhauls and multiple revisions of smaller areas before I got my layout how I wanted it. And I still refine parts of my system sometimes.
Remember to be consistent! If you forget to do something, put it where it's supposed to go the moment you remember. The annoyance will
trigger your memory when you look at it until muscle memory kicks in.

>>2432364Sorry, this is very funny to me. Nonna, did you eat a beta-12 500mg peachy keen dry erase gelato blaster gummy the first time you tried weed?
I had an edible the first time I tried it, and only edibles until last year when I smoked for the first time. The key is to get a normal edible, usually like 10mg, and cut it in half (quarters if you're sensitive to medications). Don't be in public, put the edibles AWAY where you won't accidentally grab them, and prep a snack for later. Stay in your clean room and put on some light music and read, or watch a youtube video until it kicks in. You want to wait at least two hours, but I'd suggest as long as three. #1 edible mistake is thinking "this isn't kicking in", taking more and feeling the first dose kick in 20 minutes later. #2 edible mistake is getting hungry and accidentally eating more of your weed brownie.
>>2432291No, stupid. Take an edible.
>>2432541It won't "extend" your sickness, but ask yourself if you'd like to feel high right now. You would also need to be especially careful about dehydration, drink 3x as much water and gatorade as you normally would.
I personally take edibles when I'm nauseous and it makes me feel better, but it could be different for you. I haven't been sick with a cold or flu in years so I haven't been able to try taking an edible while sick. Sorry I don't have a more concrete answer, nonna.

Should I report my tenants to social services?
My mattresses were WET, not damp, with urine. Soaked through again and again. Mould all over and house stank of piss.
The kids were being left to sleep in their own urine in a wet bed, and there was grub ALL over the sofas and walls, which makes me think they weren't being bathed either.
Entire house needed odor remediation from urine stench in carpets and mattresses were disposed of immediately.
Pic rel is the mattress, brand new, after 1 year of their tenancy. That's 4 kids sleeping in one room too.
Drawings on the bare mattress suggests that the kids were sleeping on a bare mattress too, which means there would have been no way for them to get away from the pissy wet mattress.
