How do women in asian countries deal with having narrow beauty standards?
No. 259417
>>259414short answer: they don't really
long answer: most asian countries are really pushy to men and women about getting married and starting a family. so despite all the ideals people settle a lot more than they do in the west. this is why a lot of men cheat, they didn't actually want to get married but they did to fulfill obligation and are bitter about it. women can basically either settle and risk a shitty unhappy marriage, but happy parents, or a shitty unhappy job and disappointed ones. a lot of the beauty standard ideals kind of fall flat in reality.

Most of the anons there came from here so it seems kind of weird how the lolcow userbase hates the cc userbase so much and vice versa.

>>259931>Most of the anons there came from hereIn the beginning, yes. But then the creator advertised it elsewhere (it now has a userbase that consists of people from PULL, Tumblr and 4chan also) which is why it went rapidly downhill. Even when it was mostly users from here posting there, they were of the opinion that lolcow was full of "catty bitches" and they tried desperately to force a different culture or a "cosy" atmosphere which backfired horrifically because you can't "force" something like that.
I guess my reasons for hating it are:
>it's full of trans and men pretending to be women (I suppose to be expected from a site that advertises itself as "for women" and was shared all over the shittiest parts of 4chan where pretending to be a woman is a rapidly growing FETISH)>it's subjected to a lot of raids and trolling which is unbearable>it seems to have a lot of SJW tumblr types, whereas we tend to be a bit more radfem I guess (we seem to have different opinions on trans people, prostitution, feminism and men)>despite trying to convince everyone (including themselves) that it's "cosy" and they're all really sweet and feminine, it's actually got an incredibly aggressive userbase and there's a constant passive-aggressive atmosphere which makes me uncomfortable and very reluctant to post (this is probably also due to the high number of men that use the site) >expanding on that, fights break out over the strangest of things and I posted some innocent things a few times only to come back later to an absolute flood of just plain nasty messages, have never had that experience here (where people tend to be very sympathetic or helpful)>I was banned for something incredibly minor and they ignored my appeal, I never wanted to post again because I wasn't even sure why I was banned and how to avoid it in the future?>>259944>so some people end up getting banned for "being too meanie uWu" while others can shit up threads all day.Yeah 100% this.
It's disappointing because I've gotten to really enjoy being in a mostly female space (here) and I'd love to be a part of another. I wish lolcow was popular enough to have other boards, I was especially excited for CC to get an /x/ board, since the one on 4chan went to shit.

>Someone said she was banned for gently criticizing prostitution
I was the anon that posted about this in the vent thread. Just give y'all an idea of how much of an uwu hugbox cc turned out to be, I posted two articles related to prostitution. One that stated that the CEO of Backpage was facing charges for wittingly facilitating human trafficking and child prostitution on his website, and the other proving that Germany was still facing significant issues with human trafficking after legalizing the industry. I basically said that women (and sex trafficking victims in general) should be given resources and help exiting the industry as a priority.
A few hours later and there was a post saying "remember to be sex positive girls!" or some shit like that under the conversation. Left the site for a couple of weeks then went back to get some pictures I posted on /img/. Discovered I was banned and my post history was deleted. I checked the thread and that aforementioned post was gone too along with everything else.
That was the last interaction I had on cc. I'd been posting there for many months too.

Blind sex positivity is not a good thing. Sex positivity is actually connected to pedophilia and crime, which these educated 14-year-olds don't seem to understand.
Shaming an adult woman for sleeping willingly with men/anyone is a different thing to pointing out that for a lot of women prostitution is a terrible life which they didn't choose preferentially (ESP trafficked women, those who have pimps, basically anyone other than comparatively rich girls camming and escorting)
I also never see mentioned the appalling view many men have of prostitution, for example the "joke" about dead prostitutes/hookers. Of all women prostitutes are considered the most disposable and publicly worthless by men - their customers (this is separate to escorts who I think men have some reverence to)
Honestly think there's a lot of spoilt teenagers and housewives making up a lot of the online "voice" for women which is creating this naive narrative of blind acceptance to everything. Pointing out toxic things are toxic is not judgement or exclusion or intolerance.

>>259413In the middle ages in Europe the vast majority was Christian. Back then Chistianity forbade you to lend money to another fellow Christian - you were only allowed to gift it.
Jews oviously noticed that and started lending money. Soon that "business" grew more and more, but the Jews also started increasing interest. Therefore Jewish families gained wealth but were also hated, because afterall they had the upperhand over especially the lower classes. Be poor - borrow money - high interest - can't pay back - lend more money and so on = hate.
So even centuries before the world wars Jews already were despised and segregated, but also owned the most (and it's still like that even nowadays), so you could say that all these stereotypes about the rich and greedy Jew are in fact the truth.
On another note, they're also said to have killed Jesus, which played a role in them being disliked historically, but nowadays that argument is obviously no longer relevant.

>>260120Samefag but I forgot to add: My younger brother was in Isreal just a few weeks ago and the way Isreal/Jews act certainly doesn't help in bettering their image.
Already at the airport they segregated travelers in Jews and non-Jews. Jews were simply let through but all others were questioned. My brother and his companions are European, so it was still somewhat okay, but they were really racist against people who even looked remotely Muslim.
Then in Isreal there are groups of very religious Jews, that abide by their own laws, don't need to work etc. They act horribly, spit at Christian priest and treat women just as badly as Muslim.
Him and I are really not any of those "muh religin of peace"-leftists, but in that case you really can't help but feel sorry with how Isreal is allowed to treat Palestine.

animals. Interesting reasoning tho, sometimes cats do kill for fun but as another anon said most cats are indoors so they don't really come into contact with outside animals. Also birds can be pests (like wild mice), especially with pigeons shitting all over the place or groups of birds chirping loudy at 3am. Birds can be aggressive too, the other day I saw 3 birds following and swooping towards a neighbor's full grown male cat, he was 100% spooked and desperately trying to get away from them.

This is just a general reply to the question
>>260180 asked and to other cat replies ITT since idk who to reply to but as someone who works with and cares for cats daily(both feral and domestic, kittens included), people probably hate cats cause they're hard to understand or they just aren't the animal for them. Hell I know some people who prefer reptiles or rabbits over both cats and dogs so I find the cats vs dogs debates retarded.
Domesticated cats should remain indoors and if they have to go outside then perhaps they'd do well with an enclosure or harness training. Feral cats are a whole different can of worms and all that is going to depend on where you live and the funding/resources your local animal control and vets handle them. It also depends on your local environment(like
>>260229 said, some birds are even considered pests). It isn't a one size fits all no matter how many articles/research you dig up in favor of or against helping gerals(can shed some more light on this if needed).

>>260180>they smellI hate the smell of cats. Their shit and piss genuinely smells terrible to me. I hate the smell of cat food and litter too. You can smell when someone's a cat owner the moment you walk into their house, it smells like decay. I hate how cat owners are always covered in hair, just get a lint roller.
>they're not cuteMost of the things cat owners find "cute" are either disgusting or really off-putting. Cats scratch. They bite. They bring dead animals home. They fight with all other animals. That thing they do when they rub their head against your leg? They're just trying to rub their smell on you. They're really demanding when it comes to being fed or let out but don't enjoy any other interactions with humans, they'll scratch and bite anyone who tries to pet them.
>they don't enjoy our companyI think it's cruel to force an animal that doesn't enjoy our company to live with us. All other pets (dogs, birds, rabbits, lizards) get used to human touch but cats never seem to, they will always attack their owners. Other pets will do cute things to show they love you like sit and fall asleep on your lap, groom you, lick you, beg for attention etc. but cats don't show any kind of affection towards humans. I've actually seen pet chickens show more affection towards humans.
>cats are for lazy peopleAll other pets require a lot of work but cats basically require none. You don't have to walk a cat. You don't have to play with a cat. You don't have to wash a cat. You don't have to groom a cat. You can even forget to feed a cat and it'll be fine. I think people who get cats just want something that doesn't require a lot of responsibility.
Ultimately, I don't
hate cats. I owned many cats when I was younger and I still pet "friendly" ones on the street. I just think they make shitty pets. I guess cat owners either think having a cat is "edgy" and "cool" or are just too lazy to take care of a superior pet.

how do you go to a public toilet while wearing a playsuit without having it littered with bacteria?
i have so many cute ones i wanna wear out in public but i don’t want it to get dirty. when it’s a dress you can just lift it up but with a playsuit you’d have to pull it down completely. i don’t want it on the gross public restroom floor and i don’t wanna touch it to pull it back on before i’ve washed my hands of bacteria either. i really don’t feel like getting a uti for avoiding going to the bathroom altogether.

I miss her a lot.
after she passed of old age I got a second cat who was also just as friendly, I was bedridden for several months and she never left my side except to eat and shit. she died of cancer. my third cat I got as an unsocialized kitten and while she's less cuddly, she still runs to greet me at the door and even learned to sit, spin and high five for treats.
tldr some cats suck but a lot of them are great if properly socialized, just like a dog is. they just aren't people pleasers like most dogs, but as a dog groomer, trust me when I say there's tons of shitty, unsocialized dogs.

Even many of the people who stuck through Spanish classes from the earliest you could possibly take it were completely incompetent at the language. Not that I was some amazing fluent German speaker in high school, but I could understand native speakers and communicate decently, whereas the Spanish kids would just laugh and say "Yeah I barely know this language at all, I can't understand what those people are saying haha!"

>>260611Hey, I've been studying Italian for 10 years including college level. I love it, it's such a beautiful language and was easier to learn than the other languages I have. The only pronunciation I struggled with was rolling my r's but I was the only person in my class of 30 who had a problem, so you should be fine. Grammar-wise, I only struggled once we got to things like the subjunctive but it's not even used that often in everyday conversation. Other than that, Italian pronunciation is really straightforward and thanks to having so many vowels is really easy to read, you just read what you see!
You should definitely start watching some Italians on YouTube. I really like Lucrezia because she speaks really slowly and clearly. She does vlogs like vid related where she'll show you something from Italian culture and grammar videos that cover all the things that are tricky to grasp in the beginning. When you get a bit more confident, there's also loads of classic Italian cinema to help you get a feel for the pronunciation (La Vita è Bella, Il Postino, Cinema Paradiso, La Dolce Vita…) or if you're interested in plays people have uploaded entire plays from Dario Fo and Luigi Pirandello on Youtube (
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NK4CCtXvcW0 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kjpfKafnPMk) or ofc if you're into opera, check out what's in your local cinema because my local artsy cinema is always screening things like La Traviata, La Forza Del Destino and Madama Butterfly and they're usually live which is really cool. I also listen to whatever's in the Italian music charts regularly.
Anyway, hope that helps a little. I'm happy to provide any other recommendations!

I think unless they have nerve damage from diabetes or something, getting a rub on the back feels no different than if a skinny person were to get the same rub. It doesn't feel any more intense or worse.
Although I imagine if you're talking about a massage it could feel different, because their muscles are underneath a layer of fat and probably can't get worked as well as a thinner person's. Doesn't mean they're not feeling the same pressure, their skin has nerves even if the fat cells don't.

Not trying to race-bait but is there something about Indian culture that makes them so god damn rude and inconsiderate when they immigrate into western countries?
All of my apartment neighbors are Indian and they're so self-centered.
Every day the women let their kids ride bikes and scooters in the breezeway in front of my door which is incredibly obnoxious and loud, especially when they scream and shout. The neighbor above me used to let their kid run and jump all over the span of their apartment from morning until 11pm. It didn't quit even after I corresponded with management several times; they pretended not to speak English when I politely asked them to stop. I had to clap back by banging on the ceiling before they got the message.
Every one of them is unfriendly, I smile and say hello just to get no response and have them stare blankly.
One neighbor's kid almost threw trash on my head as I was on the ground floor heading back to my apartment, and as I went back outside to photograph all the litter the father wisely picked it up before I returned. Still littered well after that.
Today I had a kid knock on my door and then ENTERED MY APARTMENT because he didn't wait for me to answer to tell him it was the wrong one.

also you're wrong, again,
Researchers at the University of Vienna claim that having small breasts may equal more pleasure in the bedroom. The larger your boobs are, the more glandular tissue there is than fat tissue, and the latter is what accounts for the breast sensitivity that comes in handy during foreplay. Alan Matarasso, M.D., a plastic surgeon in New York, explained to Men's Health that "the nerve that transmits the sensation of the nipple is more stretched" in small breasts, meaning it's simply easier for small boobs to get stimulated in sexual situations.
In the University of Vienna study, women with big breasts experienced 24 percent less stimulation than those with smaller boobs.

Topical medication like creams will do nothing to your body, doc will just advise you to avoid sunlight because you could burn easier with it on.
Antibiotics have the same side effects as above, but if you're on them for a prolonged period you could get weird changes in your gut like diarrhea. Antibiotics destroy the good gut fauna in your system.
A medication like isotretinoin/accutane? Yes, it has the potential to seriously damage your organs and give you a load of mental problems. Strong evidence linking it to causing IBS. They will make you sign consent forms in order to take it, and if you're a woman you will be made to go on birth control.

The last time I did a round of doxy was about 5 or 6 years ago. As long as one's not on it continually, it doesn't mess anything up.
I've been enjoying the relatively clear skin. Some nights I even have forgot to wash my face before bed, and sometimes before work, and I didn't break out. Feels good having normie skin, too bad the ride's gotta end and I have to go back to topicals…

You don't get wiser purely because of aging, you actually have to work on wisdom.
If you move in with this guy make it clear that cohabitation is the next step before marriage. Don't just do it because it's convenient or easy. It'll save you a lot of heartbreak in the future.

>>264456Handmade >>> knockoffs
People in my comm will trip all over themselves complimenting well done handmade clothes, even moreso than the latest AP print because let’s be honest, there’s no skill involved in clicking “buy”.
However it does have to be well made. Shitty handmade will likely be made fun of just like Milanoo lacemonsters and obvious replicas are made fun of. This has nothing to do with jealousy, people just like laughing at ugly shit.
Start with something simple, like a rectangle skirt with a half-elastic waistband. Make sure your hem is at least 2,5x your waist, preferably more like 3x or 3,5x. Lolita requires a lot of fabric. Stick to solids at first and
stay away from novelty quilting cotton for the love of god because that shit never translates well to clothing, no matter how kawaii you think the print is. Add visual interest through ruffles and pintucks and lace. Laces.taobao.com is a good source of lace though they do sell some knockoff lace.
Maybe invest in a volume or two of Otome no Sewing so you can see how lolita patterns are usually done. I started with “lolifying” normie patterns for blouses and JSKs and honestly that was a waste of time and money because too many alterations were needed to get the proper details, proportions and silhouette. Even if you don’t fit the books’ standard measurements (many don’t), it helps to see how lolita patterns look in 2D and maybe your mom can help you re-draft them to your size.

Granted I was 22, not 26, but I can't say I wouldn't have remained scared of her if another person didnt help me come to my senses. I totally understand if you don't want to do that though.

>>264728i used to find it either painful or sensationless but then the mental part of my attraction to men developed a lot more, and i treated my vaginismus, and now i'm shocked to say penetrative sex is one of my favorite things. The way I think of it
Clit stimulation is so obviously physically pleasurable that I don't even need to be thinking about anything for it to feel somewhat good, and it can take me from unaroused to aroused.
Weird fetish shit isn't physically pleasurable in its own right, it only feels good if you find the concept hot.
Penetrative sex is kind of in between. It can feel really good, but only if you're already horny and find some aspect of it conceptually hot.
I guess the main thing I like is the extreme physical intimacy? Having a hot guy I really like all up in my guts. The person I used to crush out on being so close to me they're actually inside me and bouncing me around from the inside. The person I was shy to admit I find beautiful looking me right in the eyes as he slowly but deeply pumps my pussy. Feeling the pressure of his cock and squeezing it every time he thrusts. Etc etc etc. It only works if I'm really wet, maybe even with additional lube, and if I'm really really sexually attracted to the guy. It also pairs really well, as pretentious as that sounds, with clit stimulation. They kind of compliment and intensify each other, so once in a while I'll penetrate myself with a dildo while I use my vibrator.

Though I also don’t experience any kind of pleasure from clitoral stimulation either, so maybe I’m just broken.

>>260412I would like to input my opinion towards dogs
>they smellTheir natural stench reeks. No matter how many times you bathe them, they have a natural odor that smells like shit. Cats have no smell unless the owner is lazy to keep up with the litterbox and vacuuming. I know immediately when someone has a dog just by the stench of their odor and breath. They never groom themselves either.
>they're not cuteDogs are territorial. They bark constantly, they drool, they bite people too. They will see another dog on the street and lunge at it. They will chase strangers given the opportunity to be escaped from their leash. They hump people, and its disgusting. They rub their asses all over the floor and then the floor needs cleaned.
>they don't enjoy our companyDogs only care about food. There have been studies that most dogs would go to the source of food before their owner calls them when given the choice. Even when the dog has been fed already and not hungry. There are also people I know who had dogs bolt out the door and never return, despite trying really hard to be careful.
>Dogs are for lazy peopleI see tons of dog owners leaving them outside on a leash 24/7. No need to clean anything, just let them live outdoors to poop everywhere and never pick it up. A lot of dog owners who do fortunately keep their dog indoors, do not bother to clean up the dog shit in the yard or mop the stench of dog on the floor. Their hair gets everywhere too and yet they don't clean it. The furniture smells like them.
I don't hate dogs either. I personally just don't find them as sincere of a pet compared to a cat. I've had good experiences with cats. Dogs I have not.

A lot of American food corps waste food because of the fear of lawsuits/people getting “sick”. Many places won’t even feed they’re employees— when I worked at Starbucks, we tossed tons of fine looking food into the trash. I could always see the discomfort on my coworkers faces, and when the boss was t around we’d often shove expired food into our bags to take home. I would say that most people I knew growing up saved food. My mom would make a giant pot of soup or spaghetti, and we would eat it for dinner for a week.

>>265284The buzzfeed crew is generally stunted adult babies, not a flattering representation of anyone . I'm a white american and I don't think I waste a lot of food. I compost, save for later, or just eat it for the most part. Sometimes my bf will shake his head if I miss a few scraps and throw them out, so I'm not the best, but filling an entire trashbag of food scraps in a short time and let that go to waste stings. I work in the food industry and even besides that…if you've ever had any kind of budget and you accidentally waste a significant amount of food some time, you kick yourself so hard for it later that you form a food saving habit.
I swear every buzzfeed video is just "The buzzfeed team tries
basic thing millions of people do every day" and the buzzfeed crew ewing and fanning themselves saying they can't do it, and then either remaining bratty or judgmental about it, or reluctantly realizing that it's not thaaaat bad

>>265284As a european, I too think americans waste way too much food. I hate watching american television because there's almost always a "food fight" scene or some kind of gag that involves wasting food and that shit is impossible to watch. Also, I see a lot of YouTubers leave their taps/showers on when they're not using them which is a huge no-no here. Like turning on the tap and just walking away to do something else.
When I was in school, there were non-stop campaigns telling us that we're destroying the earth and we have to change our lifestyles (use towels instead of tissue paper when you wash your hands, recycle bottles/paper/plastic/old clothes, turn the taps off, keep your showers to a max of 15 minutes, don't travel by plane often if you don't need to, take the bus and transport each other to school). It made me think about everything I do and the impact it has.
But americans in general don't seem to give a shit even though they're probably contributing to way more environmental damage than any of the countries being lectured to. They love their trucks and taking flights across the country. There seems to be no part of american education that shows them how to recycle or lectures them on how to behave at home. In fact, most americans I see online think that global warming is a conspiracy theory. That country is fucked.

One single store can throw so much shit away. Each store is sent seasonal (or even weekly!) graphics to put up for sales, spotlight items, etc. only to be taken down a short time later and tossed away. Plastic stuff to hold in pricing in shelves or on pegs are constantly replaced as they get old. Equipment gets broken or used up and eventually tossed to make room for new stuff. It's insane.

It's a huge country with many subcultures, and many of those subcultures are very liberal and/or environmentally focused.

>>265391I had to sit through quite a few "reduse, reuse, recycle!" assemblies as a kid and every school I've ever been to had recycling bins in every classroom which we were encouraged to use. A lot of Americans are wasteful as hell of course but like some other anons have said the brunt of it comes down more to corporations having wasteful policies than most families being wasteful.
Also I actually
have been in food fights (not a participant, but caught in the crossfire) and it was usually some of the shitty delinquent kids getting genuinely angry at one another and throwing stuff during lunch, not people just starting a food fight because it's a fun activity or something. Sometimes I'd still eat the food lol.

Ok this is a really stupid question, but I've noticed that in fandom there's a really intense hatred for people who ship incest. Obviously here I'm referring exclusively to fiction, but my question is what's the big deal? I can totally understand why you'd be against like, parent/child incest, as there's an implicit power imbalance there, or between like… older/younger sibling, even. But in the case of twins, like Cersei and Jaime from Game of Thrones, or even the Osomatsu brothers, I don't necessarily understand the taboo? They're adults, and in the case of same-sex incestuous couples where offspring aren't a possiblity, what is the harm? I mean personally yeah it's gross and weird, I couldn't imagine being attracted to my brother, but I legitimately don't get the like… pearl-clutching moral uproar.

>>266399i reaaaaally liked fandom and fanfiction shit in my teenage years. shipping incest has always been controversial. regardless if its a band, or a book, or a movie, etc, it turns a lot of people off. at some point i did try reading it, and the whole "don't tell mom and dad about this" etc shit they throw there made me gag.
i think some anons need to remember that theres many people that get raped by people in their own families. i've had it happen to me and most of the other victims of molestation i've met online have gone through that too. so incest is a very tricky thing morally because a lot of rape victims were again raped by siblings or family members. so it does bother a loooooooooooot of people.
if that's your fetish, fine go ahead. but to "normies" and to actual victims its a disgusting thing. its like people who have a fetish for underage ships and shit like that, its controversial as fuck for the same reason. in real life its not sexy, its traumatizing. so it feels like you're writing a cute romance story that's built upon abuse and gross shit. you can read it and love it if you want, but most people will call you a weirdo for shipping things like that. even if the incest ship is of age, it's still socially gross to most people because its not normal whatsoever to be attracted to your silbing, so people are still gonna find it creepy.
it's just socially frowned upon. i don't see why people are blaming it on PC culture/pearl clutching or whatever when its always been like this. incest is creepy, get off to it if you want, but people are allowed to call it creepy so grow a pair.

What I'm trying to say is I think consent is what would make the difference? In a fic or whatever where it's obvious that both parties are enthusiastic and consenting, it would seem to me that there's no reason to get up in arms besides just preference. People in fandom put incest on the same level as rape or pedophilia, and while if it's an abusive incestuous situation I can understand why, as a standalone thing I don't exactly agree.

No. 266490
>>266445I don't see how writing a consensual, non abusive, incest ship with no power imbalance has anything to do with victims of irl incest.

outside of dating, the hatred mostly comes down to the same thing. there's people who hate the idea of a woman who's attracted to other women at all but also another part that's assuming those women are degenerate whores.

Because I've used it to see people who have 70k-80k followers and its told me about 70% are real-but then these peoples tweets only get 7-8 likes or 2-3 retweets.

I feel like it's a very dumb question so I thought I will post it here: I'm currently looking for some new pants, specially some high waist ones. The thing is that it's been a while since I bought some pants (I rather wear my clothes until they are used aka stretched) so I buy a few new once like once a year and that's about it.
So my question is now: It looks like there not so much high waist pants around because this trend died down I guess and all I see are "Mom Jeans" and I wonder if they are similar? They look pretty high waist but kind of baggy around the tights and ass area? So is it more likely to look super chubby in it when you have a bit more around that area anyways I guess? Any anons who know how to deal with mum jeans?

>Also, can men act in a more feminine like way without getting so much shit like most countries?It's more or less like most western countries when it comes to what's masculine and feminine with small differences, but it also depends on who you know and what kind of circles you hang out with. In my case I found the guys from college weren't particularly effeminate but didn't really care about gender roles that much, but I didn't have that impression with male coworkers who are more or less my age. But at the same time I remember one of them being pissed off that a coworker asked if he were gay because he liked wearing pink and because some people thinks he's effeminate for being tall and skinny and having a weird voice even though his voice was deep. He sees himself as masculine and he's one of the straightest guys I've seen (and he's homophobic too so that's one of the reasons why he didn't like the question).

Even other teachers made fun of her for it.
I also know several anglophiles (teaboos?) who are obsessed with Dr Who and/or BBC Sherlock, use gratuitous English in conversation, put on fake thick English accents when doing so, refuse to listen to any non-English bands, go on trips to London several times a year and collect stuff with the Union Jack on it.

My maintenance to lose weight is about 1100-1200, and some days I do feel quite hungry even after meeting that.
People roll their eyes at 800-900 calories a day because for most people who aren't used to eating so little, it will be unmanageable and they will fail. It's not necessary unless you're super short. Just have the extra snack/meal and you'll be less likely to rebound and feel hungry all the time.
No. 277436
>>277421I agree that people are too generous with their calory budget. There's no way I'd lose weight without having a more caloric restrictive diet. I tried. I usually have one meal per day and consider it done. My diet is also low carb and high protein because for some reason I have fewer headaches and migraines that way.
>>277425Nice! Good for you. I don't feel hunger either but my biggest problem was to stop snacking (even though those were healthy organic snacks) out of boredom and procrastination. But as soon as you manage to control yourself and learn to ask questions like "Am I really that hungry?" it becomes a habit.
I also cut out industrial sugar, my skin has never been this clean and glowing before. And most importantly, I'm even less hungry. Sugar makes you crave food even more and will never satiate you completely. I'd totally recommend this to anyone to try with small steps.

I want a bigger meal for dinner? No prob, I didn't eat breakfast.
I want a midnight snack? No prob, I didn't have a big lunch or dinner and walked in the afternoon.
Again, all I'm saying is that it's very unlikely for someone to maintain a 800-900 calorie diet, it's effort enough to do 1100-1200 consistently for most people.

No. 277480
>>277462Starvation mode is very much a thing. It depends what "diet" someone went on to invoke it. Generally if someone loses weight they should do it from a healthy base like 1200 daily and not RAISE the base when they have achieved the weight loss they intended. Some people have faster metabolisms than others. I would gain on 1500-2000 a day. Finding out the ideal rate for you is an important part of dietary health.
Generally starvation mode is used to refer to anachans eating 200kcal a day and not losing a lot of weight because the body is conserving fat and energy. Generally the topic is raised to explain why going 200-400-600 or some shit will have much worse results than going 1200 a day, so I don't consider it a meme. It's description of real things the body does in tight circumstances.

But 30 Rock is pretty popular, I thought? Maybe the third most popular NBC sitcom after The Office and P&R. Community was also pretty beloved (especially in the The AV Club-like side of the internet and Reddit), but I thought production drama (NBC randomly pulling it out, Harmon getting kicked out then brought back, tension between cast members) dragged its momentum down.
Personally, I never got into 30 Rock because what little I’ve seen was similar to the meaner humor that The Office had, but I loved Parks & Rec and Community. The Good Place is also a (campy as fuck) good, but low key NBC sitcom.

I only saw your post on the front page, so idk what the rest of the argument upthread is about, for another reference.
According to the first TDEE calculator on Google:
>Basal Metabolic Rate 1,202 calories per day
>Sedentary 1,443 calories per day
>Light Exercise 1,653 calories per day
>Moderate Exercise 1,863 calories per day
>Heavy Exercise 2,074 calories per day
>Athlete 2,284 calories per day
>>277492imo, the Sedentary calculation seems a bit high, when I was basically sendentary (just walking to class and stuff in Uni) 1400 kcal would have been a bit more than maintenance for me. I think if anyone my height is saying they "need" like 800 kcal to lose weight, they're not doing much exercise to compensate. I definitely had times I ate ~700-900 calories a day, but it's not starvation mode by any means (for me, I ate more low cal vegetables and such).
I think a lot of very short women, like myself, feel that we should also be extremely skinny/waifish. There is that kind of pressure out there, especially since a 10lb difference is a lot more dramatic on us than on anyone even a few inches taller.

>>277713Obviously MBTI isn't science, so take this sperg with a grain of salt.
Function wise, INTP and INFJ share both Fe (extroverted feeling) and Ti (introverted thinking). Based solely on that, you could be a very developed INTP who relates to others' feelings very easily or an INFJ who is great at processing information. Alternatively, if these functions are strong but unhealthy you could be an overemotional INTP or an INFJ with underdeveloped empathy/people skills.
The best method would be to see which primary function best fits you. INTP's primary function is Ti, if you find yourself picking apart ideas and information and categorizing them often then that may be the case. INFJ's is Ni, if you spend a lot of time focused on the future and possible outcomes subconsciously (especially in regards to people), this could be the case.
These are just simplifications, here are more in depth descriptions of how healthy INTPs and INFJs functions work together:

>>277717Should add to this, it would make sense for both INFJs and INTPs to be unsure of their type. Both can lack a strong sense of self (no Fi) and INTPs question everything to death.
So, if you were asking between INTJ and INTP I'd definitely say the latter.

Not irl necessarily, but maybe exchanged discords/talked to them outside of whatever board you're on? If you have, does it ever work out? I feel like more likely than not, you'll end up meeting someone crazy or weird or something. I always see those discord threads on /soc/ and some people look like they have the same interests as me, but I never reach out to them because I'm afraid it won't work out or they'll actually be a terrible person.

>>287704Maybe I'm just a crazy person, but I've been adding people from the chans since I was underageb&. I don't do it much anymore, but I will say It's definitely been a mixed bag. I've met some completely batshit people, worst being a suicidal alcoholic who was convinced he was in love with me (despite barely knowing me), best being a guy I met years ago who used to stream weird indie films for us to watch together. We even met up irl once since we lived near each other and he turned out to be a pretty chill guy. Ultimately though, I'll say you're much better off looking for friends on tumblr or other sites that aren't seen as a safe haven for complete social outcasts and crazy people.

Alternatively just start talking to whoever without bothering with that whole reblogging nonsense. I've only done that because I'm shy lmao. Plus some people also only have messaging on for mutuals.

Most of those people (males) were tolerable as long as we spoke about books or music. When we got deeper, well… there was a lot of misogyny and hatred concealed there. Outright creepy fetishes and absurd political beliefs too. Also I could count on one hand the amount of them who wouldn't eventualy try to get into my very underaged pants. Which is creepy, since the average age for them was 25. Just them acting like disgusting pathetic creeps with zero consideration for others was what got me out of that clique.

i’m romantically attracted to both women and men but i’m not attracted to female genitals.
what does that make me? biromantic heterosexual? a snowflake? an attention whore (even though i’ve never been open about it and only the people closest to me know i like girls)?
i’ve always thought of myself as bi but having come to this realization i’m worried i’m just the walking epitome of why so many people write bisexual women off as straight women who play pretend for male validation since a lot of guys find girl-on-girl hot.
i’ve only ever had genuine crushes on/been in love with girls but they’ve also been rather androgynous in different ways (facial features/body structure/choice of dress etc.) so i wonder if i’ve just had girl crushes but how does that make me straight when i was genuinely in love with them?

It may be a case of desensitizing yourself. I used to be disgusted by all genitals (even my own) in my teens, but then went through a porn addiction (wouldn't recommend) and I like everything now as long as it's not diseased. I was always attracted to both the male and female forms, though. I remember going through the initial stages of puberty and getting mad turned on by breasts hehe. And asses, regardless of sex.
I guess the big question here is, are you sexually attracted to girls otherwise? If so, the genital thing is nbd and can probably be overcome with some masturbation.

Most men I don't even notice and if I do, then it's more of in an aesthetic way. Like I just like the way their features look together.
I haven't had a crush on men in years and when ever I do, it's always after they express interest in me, but I quickly lose interest (like in a few day or weeks) so I think that is me just like the attention and being flattered.

Dairy does more damage than soy because the majority of us still haven't even evolved to digest it. It's probably something the dairy industry came up with to try and destroy veganism like how they tried to force vegan cheese companies to remove the word "cheese" from their products or how Helmanns sued Just Mayo for not being "real mayo" and then had the cheek to sell their own vegan mayo when they lost or how the meat industry sued Oprah for promoting "Meatless Mondays".

Asides from that, women with PCOS also shave, have acne treatments and skincare/haircare routines, so it's unlikely that you'll discover their illness unless you're their bff, their doctor or they're ESPECIALLY unkempt.

>>297033There's a wiki article about that:
>The phrase first appeared sporadically in the neo-Nazi publications White Power[13] and WAR[14] in the 1970s and 1980s, where it primarily referred to contraception and abortion. The conspiracy theory was developed by the neo-Nazi David Lane in his White Genocide Manifesto (c. 1995, origin of the later use of the term),[15][16][17][13] where he made the claim that the government policies of many Western countries had the intent of destroying white European culture and making white people an "extinct species".[18] Lane—a founding member of the organization The Order—criticized miscegenation, abortion, homosexuality, the legal repercussions against those who "resist genocide", and the "Zionist Occupation Government" that he said controls the United States and the other majority-white countries and which encourages "white genocide".[18]>While individual iterations of the conspiracy theory vary on who is assigned blame, Jewish influence, people who hate whites,[19] and liberal political forces are commonly cited by white supremacists as being the main factors leading to a white genocide.[20][21][22][23] This view is held by prominent figures such as David Duke, who cites Jews and "liberal political ideals" as the main causes.[24][25] White nationalist Robert Whitaker, who coined the phrase "anti-racist is a code word for anti-white" in a widely circulated 2006 piece seeking to popularize the white genocide concept online, used "anti-White" to describe those he believed are responsible for the genocide of white people, and continued to view it as a Jewish conspiracy while emphasizing that others also supported the "anti-White" cause.[26][27][28][29][30][31][32]I think it gained popularity because the richest people in the world really are all Jews and of course lately because of the refugee crisis. There really are European politicians who say things like "Its good that [insert coutry] will be less white because of migrants" etc, but since they are white as well, people say that they must be puppets of the US/Jews.

Basically if the country is a conglomeration of minorities with no particular majority it's harder to say "Get out of our country" because some other group will say "oh YOUR country??" and with the groups fighting or at least all pulling in different directions, there will be less chance of any rallying against them.

I just think it's pretty ironic to demand somebody to compensate you for what they did to you a long time ago, when in fact you also aren't completely innocent - as shown by events who happened more recently. Just because somebody wronged you, doesn't give you the right to wrong a third party.

I guess it depends on the severity and if they're undergoing treatment. I'm passable for not having BPD unless you date me or we're close friends thanks to medication and therapy. Some people are out there doing the whole nine yards of stereotypical BPD behaviour. The chance of you meeting a stereotypical BPD person is incredibly low unless you're out there doing things they would (reckless behaviour etc). However, passable BPDs like me are probably pretty rampant and either are undiagnosed or keep it a secret.
If you're aware of narc behaviour you'd be able to spot my mom being a narc after talking to her for five minutes.
There's just a ton of BPDfags on the internet thanks to it being a bit of a romanticised, glorified tumblr mental illness, LC has a lot of BPDs because we tend to be bitchy, gossip loving obsessive stalkers.

Aaand it's also in part due to overrepresentation bias - those with these conditions are bound to mention it because it comes up in the discussions we have here. But normal people don't exactly go around mentioning the fact that they're normal, it's not usually relevant, so you end up with a lot of positive evidence of the presence of bpd autism narc mom and little to no evidence of their absence.

Why do so many women wear plain dark bras under (semi-)transparent white blouses? Especially if they have a skin color similar to the “nude” color used by most underwear manufacturers. Wearing a nude colored bra under semi-transparent fabrics was one of the first things I learned when I started wearing bras as a teen. Even a white bra would probably look better under a white blouse than a black one. They’re not even fancy bras that you might want to show off. I really don’t get it.

But if you're in a smaller town you may want to choose one that's the next town over. Personally, I would rather do an hour or two drive to check a PO box then the convenience of it being close by to protect myself. Also, be aware that they're not 100% safe since some stalker could easily locate where the PO box is and stake the place out until you go there to check your mail.

There are a lot of anachans here so not sure if this is a good place to ask, but what does a normal mostly "flat" stomach look like after eating, bending over, etc?
I'm in pretty good shape and look mostly flat from the front and side most of the time, but can have a small pooch, especially while sitting, bending, after eating, on period etc.
There was a tumblr meme about all women having a pooch, so I was wondering how much that was true. I assumed that it's partially true in that if you're really toned you have less of one and the "bump" if anything is muscle, and if not, the muscle isn't going to corset your waist in.
Question seems too stupid for anywhere else but maybe people have opinions or were wondering too. There is so much posing and PS online that I don't know what it actually looks like normally.

My friend is super thin, has a hard flat stomach when she's standing up, but when she sits down she gets a pouch. Some people lucked out with genetics and have a tiny waist with 0% fat even when sitting down but they are rare. Women naturally tend to have fat around their stomach to protect the womb.

>>311606>>311629Same for me, the very few men I was "close" to while growing up where fucked up sexist assholes, and all of them were relatives so there was no way to avoid them. And they were the ones telling about how I should not even communicate with boys my age as soon as I entered elementary school or they would beat me up and call me a whore or a slut. I was also bullied by boys at school and once I entered middle school and until now I barely had or have male classmates or coworkers. I can relate to the OP somehow, I barely see men as equal to me somehow, for better or worse. For the most part they disgust me, some of them I get along with are ok but I wouldn't call them friends except for maybe one. And even though I'm 24 now I only ever had a little crush on one guy because he's hot and I don't know him well enough to be disappointed by his opinions or his personality.
I feel conflicted because I wish I had a cute boyfriend because I feel lonely and I want to be in love but at the same time, I know very well that it seems more like in my specific case having a boyfriend is only good in theory and it's boring and uninteresting in practice, or it's just like having a friend that you occasionally fuck.

don't get me wrong, i'm not asking this to bash americans or anything, i understand how the cultural and political differences affect this. i don't want this to be some racist discussion either, i'm just curious about people from different cultures' opinions.
i'm not american and when i first heard of cultural appropriation, i didn't understand what was so wrong about it because i've never heard something like that being discussed in my country, people from different cultures sharing their culture is actually seen as peaceful. i agree that it is a problem if someone is appropriating a culture to make fun of it, but i feel like people are being way too sensitive. i've seen americans being offended over katy perry performing in a geisha outfit while in some interview about the topic in japan, japanese people weren't even offended, they all were happy that people like their culture.
another thing that i don't understand is how some people get so angry about tan skinned people trying to look paler or pale skinned people trying to look tanner because i see people who try to look paler or tanner than they actually are (by skin lightening or self tanning products, solarium, sunbathing or using photoshop effects) in my country but i've never seen anyone talking about it, people don't really care. of course it's not okay if the said person is self-hating or doing it to an unhealthy extent but if that's not the case, i think it's okay.
now my question is, how is cultural appropriation and a pale skinned person trying to look tanner or a tan skinned person trying to look paler seen in your country? would the general public be mad at them or would they not care at all? my country isn't some woke place where everyone does whatever they want, it's quite conservative but i've never seen people talking about these topics here.

>>320628I’m American and I usually think Cultural Appropriation is just a bunch of bullshit that people with way too much time of their hands spew. Sometimes it can be actually offensive (like hipsters wearing sacred Native American headdresses to Coachella) but most of the time, it’s rather subjective and the culture in question doesn’t usually give a shit as long as you’re respectful about it (And by culture, I mean people from that actual country, not third generation Americans who spend way too much time at their Liberal arts college).
As for the skin tone thing, a lot of people get tans here and no one gives a shit. Although skin bleaching has some negative connotations to it. People can do what they want but I think it’s kinda sad. There is a preference for lighter skin in certain communities however (such as within the African American community).
Hope that helps!

>>320628It really depends on a lot of things, but it's usually in the case where another person's culture is cheapened for the sake of fun/fashion and usually only makes anyone angry when the power balance is in favor of the person appropriating vs. the culture in question.
Examples: Native headdresses, cornrows, bindis, hiphop culture, etc
Whites conquered these people and systematically oppressed them for centuries. They were forced to integrate and give up their own traditions and fashions because they were considered inferior. And now to add insult to injury, White people think it would be cute if they just took back some of the stylish parts of those cultures and discard them just as easily. It's basically reaping the benefits without suffering any of the negative aspects of being those peoples.
As for kimono/qipao, like you said, a lot of natives don't see a problem with it because it's spreading their culture, but a lot of American Asians don't like the way it fetishizes Asian women, or the way greasy fat weeaboos use it to feel more like anime characters in a cheap costume satin version. And honestly, if Japanese people did see more unwashed landwhales in improperly tied costume kimono they might feel differently about it.
Also as a personal anecdote, when my Chinese husband found out I owned a qipao he told me to never wear it or let his parents know about it, but then his mom gifted me one lol So again, it depends on personal feelingsTechnically St. Patty's day is appropriation but no one cares because 1) Irish Americans no longer face discrimination 2) Most people of Irish descent don't consider it a sacred tradition that must be solemnly upheld. You can bet if the Irish couldn't find work there'd be some crying about everyone getting drunk in their honor.
Instances of actually offensive appropriation are pretty rare though so you'll probably never have to worry about it in real life. As for tanning/lightening, I think anyone frequenting tanning salons are considered pathetic in general but since it can be done naturally people are given the benefit of the doubt. Lightening is a different kind of pathetic and one that most people will agree on.

>>320706>It's basically reaping the benefits without suffering any of the negative aspects of being those peoples.Here it is, right here, the retarded core of the cultural appropriation narrative
>i-it's not fair! we lost status for wearing (symbolic thing), n-not fair that you gain status for it! It harms no one, brings no real negative consequences. Complaining about cultural appropriation is just throwing a resentful tantrum So: any similarities with "nerds/gamers who complain about nerdy things becoming mainstream while they used to be bullied for said things" is not mere coincidence. It's the exact same shallow, immature bullshit.
No, really. Read this again.
>reaping the benefits without suffering any of the negative aspects>you must be THIS oppressed to earn the right to wear (thing)Typical christian/slave morality, turning suffering into virtue in order to comfortably effect entitlement and elitism while maintaining their self-righteousness/moral high ground intact. The funniest thing is that playing this particular game of Suffering is Virtue is about the whitest, europeanest thing these people could do.

>>320980Late response but I feel it needs to be said:
All I was doing was explaining the idea of cultural appropriation as best I could for OP, never saying I agreed with it or not, and you came in here flinging insults and trying to infantilize the argument. It's okay, because this happens literally every time anyone asks. In fact, I've run into more White people crying about CA than I ever have run into actual minorities (or white liberals for that matter) who genuinely care about it.
It's not about trying to gain a moral high ground or compete in the oppression Olympics or what's fair. It's about respect. It's people fed up that after controlling them for generations, White people can continue spitting in their faces by dressing up as caricatures of them, then turning around and playing victim when anyone asks them to simply not do it. No one has a problem when it's done tastefully and respectfully.
Now, I understand you might not care about how your culture or heritage is portrayed, but for some people it does matter. Consider that. Otherwise, it's pathetic, but if being able to cosplay as brown people is the hill you want to die on, you do you.

I had to get fake married to my exbf to get out of a shitty situation and I got so much crap for it from his family despite having learned the local language, working my ass off and getting good grades while he sat on his ass and dropped out because he "didn't like" a subject.

>>320628I have never understood cultural appropriation either. It's a made-up American problem. The worst part is that people complaining about it, are speaking
for the cultures they're talking about which is way more
problematic than cultural appropriation could ever be. "Indian-American", "Irish-Americans", "Italian-Americans", "Asian-Americans" are just American. They're not Indian, Irish, Italian or Asian. Most of them have never been to the countries that they claim to have the "culture" of or speak the language of. In fact, due to the melting pot nature of the US, they're practicing some kind of bastardised version of the culture which they think is authentic (for example
>>320706"St.Patty's day" is an American term that the Irish can't stand. Patty is a woman's name. Paddy is a man's name). So why do they feel the need to speak for countries that they've never lived in, have never been to or can't even consume the media of?
Cultural appropriation is non-existent in my country. Why? Because the people who claim to be Indian, Irish, Italian etc. actually
are from those countries or at very least are second-generation and regularly visit those countries and speak the language of the country at home with their parents. They are a much better authority to speak for their cultures than Americans who are completely disconnected from their "heritage". People outside of the US love it when you take an interest in their culture. I've had friends bring me saris, kimonos, qipaos and kameez from their countries. They've practiced doing henna on my hands, we've watched bollywood films together, they invite me to cultural events, they're always really eager to make me try weird sweets from their countries and see my reaction lol. Cultural appropriation doesn't exist in environments where everyone respects each other and where you see people for who they are and not their race/culture/dress. The irony is that people in the US who have a problem with "appropriation" are using it as a cover up for the fact that they do want segregation between cultures/races, they're the ones ignorant of different cultures themselves and most importantly, people in the US form their entire identity based on things like race/heritage.

>>322682Short answer: No! Follow your dreams!!!
Long answer: No, but since engineering is usually filled with fresh out of high school entitled nerds you'll probably get criticized by your peers for being "old", the fact that you're a woman on a technical major won't make things easier either. Also, you have to get used to studying regularly if you haven't done so since finishing high school.
You'll face some difficulties just for being you but finding a path you're truly interested in and having the opportunity to follow it is really special, so go for it, anon. If you work hard and manage your time properly you will succeed for sure.

>>322472Speaking of Canada, no. I've done that exact same thing - I went to eastern canada for a BA, done the 4 years and fucked off for a year, went back to western canada for another degree and had no problems getting another visa. I eventually dropped the second program, but the visa was valid for the entirety of the program.
I am American, though. But for student visas they are more concerned if you have the money to support yourself - if you do, you can get any student visa at any applicable school you want. They only look at your 3rd world origins if you want to get permanent residency (I had a Brazillian roommate who had trouble getting PR and was questioned a lot for being a potential illegal immigrant, just for being BR.) YMMV.
Good luck!!

4 years ago my sister got a pair of kittens that lived with him for a few years until he got divorced and moved in with my parents. He then moved in with his current gf amd basically dumped them with our parents where they’ve lived for a few years. He’s about to move back in with 2 more cats and another dog ( add my parents dog and thats 6 animals in the house) I’m about to move abroad and would like to at least take the female cat with me, but I’m worried about separating them. Would a cat freak out and start acting out and terrorizing my apartment because of some weird seperation anxiety from another cat shes been around her whole life?? Or am i looking too much into this.

>>324966redpilled people believe they see through society's bullshit aka their view of how society nowadays tends toward being politically correct and liberal. they believe society now caters unfairly to usually undeserving women and minorities and is purposely ostracizing men. it's usually from the perspective of bitter men who believe such things as the idea that society has brainwashed women to become screeching feminists who are encouraged to become sluts and that the world is against them because of such things as affirmative action. nationalistic ideas are also part of this as they generally see illegal immigration as a detriment to society and oppose the idea that people should accept illegal immigrants into their country out of pity.
basically, saying "fuck you" to liberalism because they believe liberalism is based more on emotional appeal than logic.

>>326034notoriety in today's world comes with a lot of risks, rabid SJWs on one end, the most heinous kinds of edgelords on the other.
As another anon pointed out, these "weebs" frequently fall somewhere in the middle, with their beliefs and personal opinions and taste in porn.
So its a constant game of trying to balance those things.
I'm in an eccentric, notoriously drama filled similar subculture myself, and I live like a damn hermit in regards to it because I have a real life to attend to and I don't have the time, energy, or patience to try and please everyone. I also have Opinions that don't really mesh with this black and white structure of the modern internet.
And as another factor, as you can kinda see from my desire to be alone and how I'm probably a little more reasonable, the more notoriety someone wants and tries to get, the more narcissistic kinds of traits and behaviors they tend to present. This is based in observation and I believe I also read a really interesting paper about this but I sadly don't have the source offhand.
So you combine aaaaalll that with a propensity for really strange and eccentric beliefs overall with a lot of NEETdom peppered in and its a recipe for a disaster zone.

>>326072Null is Pro-Trump and Alt Right. You are correct that the KiwiFarms itself is supposed to be a place with beliefs and opinions across the spectrum. However, due to Null and other big figures there being very right wing and overtly so in their personal debates, it has created an environment where the more leftist side of the website is uncomfortable and does not like to speak up.
So basically, people on the left do exist in Kiwi, and I'd be willing to bet they might even outnumber the right wing users. They just are quiet because the right wing on that website are the loudest and most obnoxious in my observations.

Most people burn out on it and tbh I think even people who get internet famous for being strict SJW superstars eventually burn out and relax their stances. They just don't do it publically because they'll get eaten alive. Eventually you have to just live your life and ease up on the constant thought monitoring and policing of other people.
