I'm too chicken to actually dye my hair and instead want to use some intensive tint. Does it really only last for X amount of washes? I vaguely remember reading intensive tints aren't all that different from actually dyeing your hair. I'd be going from picrel to dark brown, package says 3.0, if that makes any difference.

Wtf does communism in practice look like? Does everyone just get the same paycheck? Does everything have the same price? Is money even still there? And stores? Will all buildings be brutalist? Will every city and town have syndicates to decide shit? What if ppl disagree? How does that shit work???

>>2632419I know a communist who genuinely believes that misogyny, racism, homophobia and ableism will only ever be abolished under communism and anarchy, and she genuinely seems to believe that capitalism is to blame for all that shit. Imo commies just say this to motivate those groups to fight against capitalism and/or because they can't picture any other evil
especially when they're white, and while I'm not a fan of capitalism myself, it just looks like she doesn't want to analyze the issues those bigotries cause in-depth. With feminism for example, even in an egalitarian commune, women would be endangered by men. Then again, this girl i'm talking about thinks trannies belong in women's spaces, so it's obvious that she doesn't look too deeply into misogyny. She also reads communist literature only, without ever looking at any other viewpoints. It's a very up-their-own-ass way to live.

>>2632415lots of info from your pic is factually wrong, socialism also imply the abolition of private property, which is distinct from personal property
>Wtf does communism in practice look like?meaningless question because communism is not a state of affairs, but the historical movement towards a society that is not described positively as in "what it is" but negatively "what it is not", and furthermore it's pointless to argue "how it looks like" but rather "how to get there", which is called "socialism" or "lower stage of communism", ie, with scarcity
>Does everyone just get the same paycheck?>Does everything have the same price?>Is money even still there?there is no need for money, which is effectively a regulation mechanism to deal with scarcity, just like a market is regulating prices
>And stores? Will all buildings be brutalist?those are just practical solutions and have nothing to do with the economy
>Will every city and town have syndicates to decide shit?syndicates are organizations made to struggle against the state, but if there's none, so it's pointless, decisions are made by individuals
>What if ppl disagree?over what? people do what they can, individually, and get what they need, end of story
>How does that shit work???it doesn't "need" to work, it's an ideal, same as heaven on earth, against, the point is not to circlejerk about it, since any arguments against "it" are equally pointless

>>2632773People say there is power in commanding the lust of moids but it doesn’t actually manifest in anything good, more often than not, it’s a liability.
Men who covet you, upon rejection, either become whiny sadboys or filled with rage. You will have a history marred with clingy and stalker moids. You will attract theme just by being friendly with them like you should any normal person.
Outside of the clingers and stalkers, short term interactions with strange moids aren’t pleasant. They will either be creepy nice guy sex pests, or preemptively assume you’ll reject them and punish you for it. They’ll push you or hit you “accidentally”, or otherwise be a nuisance and try to ruin your day however they think they can get away with.
You aren’t more likely to get a kind, attractive bf either. They’re rare enough as it is, and are likely to be in relationships already. If you settle for a moid below your level, which is usually your only option, he will develop a complex about it.
Men do this all the time to every woman since they have low self esteem and control issues, but there is a specific kind of abuse they’ll dish out to attractive women. Cutting down your self esteem at every opportunity, periodic melties where they cry about how they don’t deserve you. Extreme cuck anxiety, since they know most men want to have you, they’re afraid you will either take up every dick offer or trade him up or both.
The only way I can think you can actually benefit from being pretty is sex work. I’d hardly call that a benefit. You’ll probably earn more money than less attractive women but at the cost of your soul. You probably won’t even earn that much more, anyways.
>>2632789What is the use case of beauty as a tool, really? People need to ask themselves this more. More men being more interested in subjecting you to their abuse. That’s it. They’ll interact with you more like they’re making a downpayment for sex. Men are very transactional. You’re going to have to give them sexual favors eventually. If you don’t, you’ll be treated worse than if he never targeted you at all. If you do reciprocate, well, he’s still a moid, and will run you through typical moid pattern abuse routines. You’re not going to get more out of them that you wouldn’t be better off earning yourself.

>>2633060A lot of "ugly" people write hollywood fuelled fanfics about how beautiful women akshually have a massive advantage and could get anything in life, just because they themselves feel a largely false sense of persecution due to insecurity and years of moid psyops. Beauty will get you nothing but pain, starting from childhood. Getting cat called, dismissed as dumb or only humoured because of your face, people only hanging out with you because of your looks etc. It's not just at the hands of moids either, young girls and women who bought into the fake competition psyop will often ostracize and bully other women they feel are more attractive than them and are that "competition", even if said woman literally couldn't care less. Even the autistic 'omg but you can get a gorgeous bishie!!!' argument sucks and is downright insulting sometimes, misogyny and male centered thinking aside. Why would you want to get into a relationship with someone who's only with you for your looks? If said scrote wouldn't date you if you looked different, why would you entertain a retard faggot like that?

>>2633101The bullying I got from women and girls was nothing compared to what boys and men did.
I could register their reactions as misplaced even at a young age and considered it even less. They weren’t doing it for any other reason than reacting to an environment men had established.
With men there is the obvious implication he wants to take advantage of you or defile you in some way, that offended me so much more. I knew none of these girls wanted to use me, fuck me, covet me, lock me away for themselves.
They can be snarky and catty but the intended outcome was for you to go away or disappear. I respond much better to people who hate me and want me gone than people who “love” me and want me to be their
victim indefinitely.

>>2632773>for me You are forgiven way more easily imo and people generally approach you with a more open and cheerful attitude, also you receive compliments randomly, which is validating and feels nice. I got a random modeling job once, but I didn’t really like it and they kind of stranded me with a bikini shooting too, it was weird.
Dating wise it isn’t this big of a deal honestly, I have never been treated better because I was attractive by men, you just get approached more often, but the quality isn’t necessarily better. What I found out is that some of them can be deeply insecure and will do anything to put you down despite approaching you first, I went out with scrotes who never gave me any compliments the whole date, got visibly annoyed when I got complimented or when their friend group expressed attraction towards me kek.
Friendship wise it is better , people approach you way more easily if you are attractive. I never had any problems making female friends despite moving several times and people naturally flocked to me in a way. I don’t remember approaching any of my friends.
But other than that it isn’t this whole “it will change your life”. I am still a student and I still have to prove myself.

>>2633132It’s a means to an end. Women do not want to exploit other women the same way men want to exploit women. The worst possible outcome of female bullying is ostracization. The worst possible outcome of male bullying is rape, enslavement, death. There’s no comparing the two. The worst female bully is less threatening than the average “nice guy” trying to coercively rape you in the most socially acceptable way he can muster.
It’s so easy to brush women off. They hardly do anything to you anyways. These males treat you worse and do it far more often.

>>2633123The women who get bullied due to intrasexual competition do it subtly. Usually only the
victim is able to see what is going on. If you ever infiltrate those spaces you realize they're also usually bullying each but stay around for whatever benefits they get from sticking together. I get up uggo, looksmaxxed before it was a thing, and realize that it was ultimately pointless. If you don't have a certain personality or mindset beauty is more of a burden than an asset. I think if you're someone who values connection or just want to be normal being slightly above average with some defining traits will get you the most out of life.

>>2633508This is gonna be harsh but in my experience, it probably means that you're projecting a desperate desire to be liked and admired that only sycophantic immature weirdos gravitate towards. My guess is that your friends feel compelled to walk on eggshells and tell you how great and inspirational you are. When you're grounded and you don't give off an insecure, praise-me vibe, you'll naturally attract people who are much more intelligent, sophisticated, and successful than you, so that you feel like looking up to them and not the other way around.
The solution is to raise your vibe so you don't attract clingy BPD freaks.

>>2633560Interesting. I don’t think my friends walk on eggshells (we’re all quite honest with each other) but I definitely had a strong desire to be liked growing up and that vibe was probably obvious. I grew out of that which probably made me worse tbh (I was unrewarded by going out of my way to be nice to people) but for some reason the less kind me people liked more. Maybe there’s still a pervasive undercurrent still being expressed that attracts people prone to being followers? I think the most clear evidence to that is that despite the fact I’m intelligent, I’m only acquaintances with other intelligent people since they don’t end up orbiting me? Kind of crazy that you might be right. To be honest I get what you mean in that I’ve observed it in other groups of people, even if I don’t see my friends that way.

>>2633378At earliest 1-2 years. But it's so individual, for most relationships I think 1-2 years is WAY too fast because they will in fact break up(/divorce). But I also think if you're serious about your relationship you should be aiming for marriage or at least not see it as a big scary committment "threat". It should be what you both naturally aim for to build a life together so then there's nothing wrong with marrying early. But like you asked for, that's the ideal scenario and
most people should not get married that early.
I think for the more average adult couple 4-5 ish years is a sweet spot. The younger you start dating the longer you should wait, but in general if a man hasn't committed to marrying you after 5 whole years then he's definitely waiting for something better.
It's honestly a bit lame when a couple gets married like 12 years in and expect everyone to be happy and surprised for them, like come on y'all have 3 kids already and you own a house together there's nothing new to celebrate.

>>2632337I have an irl Taiwanese friend that dug on the rabbit hole when it was popular and apparently when the genocide allegations began to get mainstream all the sources for it traced to literally one single German scholar named Adrian Zenz. He was the one that first used the word genocide to describe the situation with the Uyghurs in China while serveral world-wide non-profit orgs and even the EU disagreed with that stance. He literally works for US-funded anti-commie orgs so that's how the word genocide got pushed so much into the mainstream. So no, a genocide in the literal sense of the word is not being committed against the Uyghurs, hence the controversy about the usage of such word. That part you could say is indeed American propaganda.
That said, the Chinese government is really authoritarian and constantly detains and persecutes people that go against them. The region of Xinjiang became part of China fairly recently just after the Chinese civil war, and they have beef against the Chinese government because they were promised independence but were never granted it. The Uyghurs were always the ethnic majority of Xinjiang and everything about them is very different from Han culture, so clashes with the CCP have always been present. This worsed with the advent of Islamic extremism and Uyghur religious scholars being radicalized in Pakistan, bringing such ideas into the Xinjiang region and the Uyghur population. Uyghur Islamic extremists stabbed people on the streets and bombed public places several times, which was pretty much the drop that spilled the glass of the Uyghur-CCP tensions. The CCP had enough of their shit and started to crack down on Muslim Uyghur groups that refused to assimilate, prompting unlawful arrests and detentions at the famous reeducation camps of entire families including women and children. Even though they are not being systematically murdered, some Islamic and western scholars and politicians say that this is cultural genocide, since the goal is to make them assimilate into CCP's culture (Han).
My friend's personal opinion on this is that if they didn't get radicalized (stabbings, bombings) it's likely that they would've been left alone, as the CCP has always let ethnic minorities do their own stuff as long as they don't try to interfere with the central government. She mentions that all ethnic minorities in China were exempted from the one child policy including the Uyghurs, and that China has a couple more Muslim ethnic minorities that are not being persecuted by the CCP, such as the Hui.
