Not sure if this belongs in here or elsewhere.
Theres this chatting browser MMO, think Club Penguin, being made as a kind of recreation to a defunct one named Fantage (think CP Rewritten).
The beta opened a few days ago and it was a shitshow of bugs. Its only been like 2 days and the admin implemented a safemode restriction for chatting, where you have to pay 20$ to write whatever you want instead of just using a filter or report system.
I don’t know how hard or easy it is to program a game but the admin always seemed greedy to me ($3k donation page where at 1k we get a functioning inventory, 60$ for a day early of access, etc..) but it’s funny to see everyone starting to get upset and turn their backs.

>>489206Did you like the netflix Ted Bundy movie if you saw it? The fiction one. They chose not to show (most) of his crimes but they do show him using sex/sexuality to manipulate his long term gf. He did assault his
victims and they reveal it at the trial and don't pull punches with how graphic it was.
It's not a perfect movie but you mind find it refreshing anon.
Also maybe for a fully fiction horror rec The Loved Ones? The villain isn't totally sexual in a straightforward way at first but her whole murder thing is clearly is driven by getting off/getting what she wants in an immature and disturbing way.
I also reccomened this film to a lot of women who like horror overall because it's rare to get a film with a female villain and hero who have interesting motivations (the villain has a very "male" way of wanting to keep and conquer her "boys" and the hero girl is the first character to start investigating her bf's disappearance.)

>>489635people assume all flirting is seduction or coming onto someone. that's not the case. why do you guys assume this is something women do? the most flirtatious people who flirt without intent, and "friendly flirt"/"innocent flirt" without attraction have, in my experience, been popular, outgoing men. have you people never been to parties or in an environment where people innocent or friendly flirt just to be social? flirting is often very nuanced, relies on cadence, eye-contact, subtle flattery, all of which can be very ambiguous, and that's the point for a lot of people. it's not outwardly sexual for flirtatious people, generally. some people, though, take it really far and then it becomes obviously sexual and serious. the spectrum has become too wide and people associate the more heavy stuff with flirting, but just being playful and charming is considered flirting as well.
it's supposed to mean "to behave as though attracted to or trying to attract someone, but for amusement rather than with serious intentions.", but i guess a lot of people seem to conflate all flirting as being hit on, or a form of seduction, but it's not always so.

>>489663Yeah dude I don’t believe in innocently flirting either. Imo it’s all a means to display sexual and/or romantic interest.
It would be weird to be a married woman and flirt with the men in the office. They’re not gonna see it as casual or friendly. Men flirting with everyone in the office is, IMO, more about them signalling they will fuck anyone than them being charming or nice.
Being normal and making a joke (what’s being called innocent flirting itt) isn’t flirting as far as I’m concerned. That’s regular socialisation.

>>489677Has nobody ever told a joke to you at work?

No. 489699
>>489679>Everything else like touching them or giving them compliments outside of ‘good job today’ is flirting and imo flirting isn’t the same as socialising.i've had people from all ages and sexes touch my arm when they make a joke or touch me without being romantically or sexually motivated. i assure you it's not always sexual or anything more than playful socializing, or "innocent flirting" with no sexual motivation, at worst. you guys are honestly kind of autistic if you interpret touching someone on the arm, alone, to be sexually motivated or uncomfortable. i've had all manner of people give me all kinds of compliments, lots of which were not done with sexual or romantic intent, and i've done the same and it not be done with sexual or romantic intent. "what's up?" can sound more than friendly with a specific tone, or not. either way, it's incredibly autistic to overestimate that everyone is sexually interested in you, or seriously sexually interested in you because they touch your arm when they make a joke or laugh or give you compliments, especially people who are very outgoing. you guys are going to be woefully disappointed when you realize your 10 minute interaction with a 'desirable' outgoing guy or girl was just them being charming and that their compliments weren't sexually motivated.

>>489724
well, i guess my point (that i couldn't make clearly) is that what someone considers flirting is very subjective, and a lot of people assume all flirting is sexually motivated. i don't even know how to use it because i've had people describe behavior towards me as "flirting" with sexual intent when it wasn't, or my actions as "flirting" with sexual interest when it wasn't, so i have no idea how to even use it at this point because it seems to vary based on interpretation of certain actions. "flirting" encompasses a pretty wide range of behaviors and is up for interpretation. that's why you'll sometimes hear about socially awkward men assuming that a barista smiling at them means they're flirting with them, when they're just being friendly. some people think literally, on their own, touching your hair or smiling is flirting, maintaining eye contact while talking is flirting, certain cadence, laughing, taking a drink when they take a drink is flirting, complimenting, alone, is flirting, using nicknames, etc. and obviously people think playing footsie or saying obviously sexual stuff is flirting, so it's a pretty wide range of behaviors that people consider to be "flirting", and a lot of it, like touching someone on the arm or shoulder, or complimenting them, or giggling, is flirting, and i think can just be playful socializing that may or may not indicate interest. you really can't know without further information or confirmation, but some people think the mild stuff is definitely more than being friendly, they claim it's "flirting" and so it's necessarily sexually or romantically motivated. like above, anon considers complimenting someone and touching their arm when you make a joke to be flirting and so it's sexually motivated, because all flirting -> sexual. i don't, i think that's just a certain form of playful socializing, or, at most extreme, it's some kind of "flirting" but it's not necessarily sexual or romantic. i just think there's a certain grey area of ambiguity where interest can't be assumed, and certain people seem to believe that grey area is definitely flirting and so it's definitely sexual.

I completely forgot that I wanted to buy a climbing harness and some sites have them on sale but I already spent money on a shirt and I'm too much of a cheap fuck to now spend $50 on a harness!!! I want one so bad. I've been sticking to bouldering because I'm too cheap to buy a harness and too much of a coward to ask someone to belay for me but I've been wanting a harness to practice endurance on the autobelays in my gym…
I'll probably suck it up and not buy one because in reality I never spend more than half an hour on the autobelay walls anyway. Bouldering is fun enough for me, but whenever I see new and fun routes on the autobelay walls, I really want to try climbing them too… 70% of my gym is top rope climbing and it sucks. I wish we had more space dedicated to bouldering walls.

i feel kind of loony saying this but recently i've noticed a ""trend"" i guess? in children's toys and media in general. i didn't know where else to put it so here it goes:
there are SO many children's toys now that are specifically centered around poop and i find it slightly sinister and unnerving. it's EVERYWHERE. there's these weird fetish-esque children's toys that popped up on my instagram a few weeks ago called "The Hangrees" (pic related) which are literally made to "poop" out slime and come with all kinds of poop-related paraphernalia; yesterday an ad for something called "poop game" came out while i had a kid's channel on my tv, today i passed by this claire's-esque shop they have in my country that mostly caters to little girls and there was something called "unicorn poop" (just some rainbow-mashed glittery slime). it's popped up way too many times for it to feel like a coincidence.
call me crazy but i feel like someone is behind this? maybe a company, maybe sth else idk, but there's just SO much centered around poop directed specifically at children and i don't know why. i've read about elsagate being some sort of conspiracy meant to groom children into normalizing perverted behavior but i can't say this is purely related to that, but i DO find it strange. why poop, specifically? why is it ALWAYS directed at children?

I do like Popovy dolls, and they often have nipples, but they're made as art. These dolls, on the other hand, don't seem to have much artistic merit in mind other than "big eyes cute girl doll pink hair princess toy play", so what was the reason?
No. 490505
>>490466I agree with
>>490474, I don’t think it’s weird that a children’s toy has a feature that all human beings have. However, I do think the doll’s figure is setting up some unrealistic expectations like people always bitch about Barbie doing - but instead of impossibly skinny it’s just impossibly curvy. I don’t think little girls are going to be corrupted by a doll with nipples, but there are a lot of creeps who are going to ruin these toys for little girls just like my little pony.
No. 490537
>>490474>>490505It's more the fact that they felt the need to add them than the nipples themselves being a thing that might "corrupt children". I don't think any kids thought having nipples was weird or bad just because dolls don't have them or anything (I didn't, at least). There's just no real point to them, as most dolls don't need to breastfeed or perform any real human biological functions.
I'm just having trouble imagining the mindset of an adult who thought "It's time for dolls to have nipples". Like, of all stylistic choices, why that? They didn't think to make the eyes not look like runny eggs with blue yolks, or for the bodies to look anatomically sensible, but that's where they draw the line and demand realism?
I just don't get it. It's a weird thing to zero in on for a designer who seemed to not care much in the first place for aesthetic beauty or anatomical accuracy, and the fact that it's from the same company that makes seedy-ish designs of toddlers in fishnets and seems to have some obsession with scat is also weird.

>>490474You can't free the nipple before changing what the female nipple means in our culture. First, change the culture, then you'll be free to do as you please with nipples. Just because YOU think they aren't sexual doesn't mean the general population does.
Not that I don't agree with you, I do believe nipples are a natural part of the body, but I also know that they are viewed as a sexual thing. If you imagine breasts without them, they suddenly lose the sex-element and become balloons, lol.

i read this and it made me think about scarcity and behaviours:
https://www.theatlantic.com/family/archive/2018/06/marshmallow-test/561779/i was neglected as a kid and i remember being so hungry i would swallow air to make myself feel full. i used to eat paper when i was at school and whenever i was given a gift like an easter egg i would break it into thousands of pieces and store them in a hidden place and ration myself to a couple of tiny shards of the egg a day because i never knew when i would get to eat again. i would take my brother and sister to the fields near where we lived to find as much wild fruit as we could because i didn't know how to cook and we never had any food in anyway. i was dangerously underweight growing up and have had health repercussions from malnutrition as a child. my sister had one of the worst cases of scoliosis the queen's medical centre had ever seen, it put so much strain on her organs it would have killed her by the age of 12 if they hadn't corrected it and i think it was made so bad because she grew up malnourished.
unsurprisingly i developed anorexia in my teens and was forcibly hospitalised with a bmi of 13 about 8 years ago. now i'm a few years into recovery and for the first time in my life i'm really, really fat - about 230lbs at 5'9". it's hard to deal with, but i know exactly how i got here - it's because when i have the opportunity to eat i will eat everything on my plate and i'll eat everything that is offered to me, even if i'm not hungry. i don't eat a lot of junk food, i've learned how to cook and mostly make vegan curries and rice but clearly i eat too much of them. my doctor told me my metabolism might have been damaged by my history of starvation but i don't know if that's a real thing.
i keep wondering if this impulse to eat is just because of a lifetime of not knowing when the next bit of food will come. since getting better the thought of cutting down food makes me really anxious now. i don't really know what's normal. i think it might be why poor people tend to be much fatter, like i understand it now and have a lot more sympathy. if you grow up in extreme scarcity then often you feel like you have to eat now or you won't again for a long time.
No. 490654
>>490638> unsurprisingly i developed anorexia in my teensHow is that unsurprising? Do you think history of malnourishment leads to anorexia? Because it doesn't. That's a separate issue you have.
> i've learned how to cook and mostly make vegan curriesCurries are incredibly caloric. Tons of fat and sometimes sugar.
No. 490656
>>490654>How is that unsurprising? I think anon means that a twisted attitude about food leads to a twisted relationship with it.
Not enough food, so you hoard it (many anorexics do this, keeping food stowed away all for themselves without eating any of it). Scared and ashamed of being greedy (and having it disappear on you), so you deny yourself and eat very tiny bits. Being faced with a full meal, being unable to stop yourself, and binging because your brain is worried you may never get the chance to eat so well again. Rinse and repeat.
No. 490661
>>490654mostly what
>>490656 said, but also my ED doctor said that anorexia often follows a period of inadvertent or controlled starvation like an illness or a first diet. maybe i should have clarified that.
i don't add sugar or a lot of fat to curries, i make them wholly from scratch. mostly tomato based with green vegetables or pulses, though i do occasionally do ones with coconut milk which i accept is highly caloric. i eat healthy food - i still have a knowledge of nutrition from all the obsessive reading i did as an anorexic - but just too much of it, is what i'm saying.

I'm self conscious that my ex thought I was love bombing her (she's only had abusive relationships before we went out) when in reality I'm just like a stupidly excited puppy. She was the girl of my dreams and I had been lowkey following her for years before we actually talked (I told her I had been following a lot of her socials ofc- we also have a lot of mutual friends so it wasn't really hard to find any of them).
We're broken up now so it doesn't matter but I'm afraid of future partners thinking I'm love bombing them when I'm just… too excited. I wear my heart on my sleeve and it sucks lol.

>>490805i feel like meditation is best if you pick the type that suits you best. There are so many different ways to do it and once you start reading around it's actually pretty easy to make your own practice!
I like David Lycnh's approach so far because he's a) described experiences from his past that sound a lot like psychotic episodes. I some due to PTSD which I treat with medication but I need other tools to deal with it when the meds don't work. (i'm not recommending mediation as a way to avoid or supplement medication but they really don't work all the time and meditation has helped me through some really scary episodes!)
b) a creative so his motivations to meditate (to make better art and let your brain rest so you can be more creative) resonate with me in a way "just meditate to be happy!!" doesn't lol.
so find your "teacher" as corny as it sounds, don't worship the ground they walk on and shop around for people you relate to imo. and there are some legit health benefits but if you aren't motivated by that I don't think it would sway anyone's opinion lol.

It might be easy for some people to say "it's just for fun! don't care about what other people say!" but I always felt like the people who said that were the ones at the top who were always fawned over lol.
I did find my own little corner of people and had a lot of fun, but the big picture of it all really fucked with my head and self esteem growing up. Sorry for cosplay sperging lol.

It was probably the rose tinted glasses of my very young self, but I really miss the days when it was just a weird and cringey niche hobby. It's always been a popularity contest, but with people monetizing it more than ever now, it feels way too cutthroat. It's just fancy, elaborate dress up. We all look like fucking fools to the outside world, so stop shitting so much on other people.

Damn I'm so grateful for my 2 friends who not only tolerate but appreciate my autism. They let me read the instruction manual and act amazed when I point out a cool function. They let me stiffly follow a recipe and allow me to delegate tasks for that recipe. The best thing is how sometimes they can realize that I'm biting my lips as to not give unsolicited advice, they would go "Aaa Idk what to do~" to casually hint to me that I can give input. They even let me nag at them for stuff like reminding to take vitamins and how they're not mopping the floor in the most efficient way. That's what I'm thankful for today.

I'm on Okcupid again after an awful, unhealthy relationship ended two months ago, and even though I know that I'm most likely not ever going to meet any of those girls as they live far away, it feels good to speak to them.
Hell yes, it feels good to have all those nice, interesting and very attractive girls liking me and complimenting me after that bitch made me feel awful about myself all the time, like I wasn't enough, when the truth is that she was the one far below my league.
Now I know where to put my standards at, and it feels nice to have this positive attention by girls who are a thousand times better than the one girl who pulled an Onision on me.

Who's bright idea was it to give Brazilians control of the amazon's safety and well being?
Why does Brazil have the largest population of Japanese aside from Japan itself? I mean, i know why. I've read lots about the history of the Japanese-Brazilian immigration but still, i don't get it. Everything from the language, culture, cuisine and flora are completely different. Don't twist this into racebait shit I'm just being a history nut

>>493684The best way to avoid that line of thought is to understand that native speakers make mistakes too. Native speech is messy in any language! Learn some key words like "place", "thing", "situation", "location", etc. so you can fill in gaps in your vocabulary for when you forget something. If you worry too much about sounding perfect you'll just sound artificial. Go with the vibe! It's all a part of the language learning experience.

>>494473>>494494i don't have a problem personally with the "nigger", "nigga" board culture thing when it was, you know, 9-10 years ago. first of all, it's fucking lame to keep using it when we know political landscapes have drastically shifted, and it seems like it's trying REALLY hard to hark back to a time of "old internet culture". it's just not organic anymore. it was never totally kosher to use it, but it wasn't as politically charged back then, the racism on the boards wasn't as obvious, intentional and sought to be spread in the way it is now. it's just totally different and lame to use it still, imo. i get the "board culture" thing, but like, it makes them seem like children trying too hard to integrate based on an old idea of the chans, or a 33 yo that can't let go.
No. 494528
>>494518This. Back in 2004 4chan was edgy and based on cynicism and dark humor, but it wasn't politically charged at all. Everyone got made fun of equally because they were counter-culture and based on having fun without limiting borders. I know it's hard to imagine for zoomers who have only seen the controversial board culture of the 2010s but back in the day something like the "nigga stole my bike" meme was done because it was a funny misinterpretation of a screen from a video game, not a politically charged attack towards black people. I was in my teens in the early to mid 2000s and I shit you not, I could reveal my gender on 4chan without a ton of "whores need to get back in the kitchen" or "tits or gtfo" replies showered on me. The only even remotely similar meme was "there are no women on the internet" but it was done to make fun of basement-dwelling male nerds posing as women to fuck around with people, not to demean women themselves.
Now it's just a disaster of straight out sexism, racism, homophobia and every meme is derived from spiteful intentions. It's still counter-culture, but a reactionary one towards the mainstream PC discourse which I hate as well. Everything on the internet is way too politically involved these days, now I have to take my escapism to the real world instead.

>>494550>>494546>>494544>>494541>>494538anyways, original talk was about the racism. the racism is much worse. 4chan was always misogynistic, but it was never as bad as it is today, just as a general tone throughout the site and throughout like, all chans. the tone is sooooo much more malignant towards groups (women, blacks, jews, and just anyone that isn't white, really) throughout the entire site. everything was nowhere near as bad as today, that's the important part. the nigger/nigga shit wasn't genuinely racially charged because the boards were nowhere near as politically/racially minded and just generally hateful wrt groups. they are nothing but hateful now and they are spreading their ideologies to convert people through "humor" and through that veneer of plausible deniability that was once kind of actually
valid in the past, because it really was mostly just humorous and not about race in the past. it's really stupid to use it now knowing that board culture now is so political, but it was definitely different before.
No. 494711
>>494573I think this is a nice way of thinking about it, but it's effectively wrong
A lot of the racism that exists today is directly stemming from the racism that was there before–people actually started coming to 4chan so they could be racist, and for some reason you think that has anything to do with a specific political spectrum
The whole "nigga/nigger" dichotomy is flawed, I remember thinking 4chan wasn't as racist as people think because quite a few people expressed the view "nigger doesn't mean black person, nigger just means stupid person, anyone can be a nigger"–but that's not actually accurate nor does it represent anything truthful.
I thought the same thing when it came to the whole idea that everyone was a faggot. People new to the site were newfags, people one the site from the beginning were oldfags, it's just edgy humor that isn't really about shitting on gay people. But it really still is.
You can't escape the racism on 4chan and even if you go back 10-15 years from today, everyone who claims to be black/minority/gay/lbt and is okay with the whole edgy humor thing absolutely reeks of the same kind of "pick me" bullshit we get with conservative women sticking up for shitty awful men
Regardless of how people acted, then and now, you'd still be a nigger even if you did everything right to try to escape that.
I've been on 4chan since 2007-8 if that means anything
You're right, 4chan is a completely different beast now–but it's not worse, it's just less subtle which is more often than not really fucking exhausting

Not really a vent, so I guess this goes here.
There's this really cute local-ish grocery store. Caters to mostly an asian/international community, but it's close to a university so it's really modern and sleek. I love it because I can buy freshly made Donburi, Macarons, and south American soda in one trip.
But there's this new(?) worker who is weirding me out. Nothing sexual, he's just so awkward and I never want to see him again.
The first time, I bought a few cans of "Inca Kola" and he took like an extra couple minute just to look over the can, assumedly because he never saw it. I obliged and told him a bit more about it, but really the social cue was "please hurry up and ring my stuff up". He took it kindly, and as a joke he pretended that he was going to keep it by stuffing it in his jacket. It wasn't like, deep within his jacket, but it was popping out of his half zipped jacked inbetween that and his undershirt. Naturally I thought this was disgusting and washed the can when I got home–who the fuck does that? I put my mouth on that?
I really wanted to tell him off or at least demand that I switch the can, but I was too stunned at the moment from the sheer weirdness to think of that right away.
The next time, I see him and I swerve hard. So hard, he had nobody in line at his register and I immediately turn to this older, asian granny who takes forever to ring stuff up. All of my stuff is in my hands, so I put it on the counter next to the register while the granny finishes with another guest. He looks over and I pretend it's too much of a hassle to go over to him "I'll just wait over here" I say. He doesn't take the hint and does the "nice thing"
He grabs a basket, walks over, puts all of my stuff in his basket, and walks back. This is while another customer just starts to get in line. So now, he's created this awkward situation where I'm in line about to get my stuff checked out, another customer is in his line, but now the customer in his line has to wait because he can't just fuck off.
I don't say anything directly to him, but I face the customer and apologize to try to say "hey bud, you fucked up"–but I really doubt he got the hint. At the very least, he seemed slightly pissed off, so he didn't say anything.
Fuck that guy. That's weird, right? That's just weird.

If biden wins the nomination (which its obviously early but he's polling quite a bit higher than the rest of the nominees) Its pretty likely there will be a trump 2020. The american far left reallllly don't like moderate democrats like Biden and will just not vote, or vote third party (which is basically just a vote for Trump). Its the same thing that happened in 2016. The far left (which IMO was quite a bit smaller than it is now) really didn't like Hillary, and chose not to vote for her in favor of a third party candidate or just chose not to vote at all.

There are two foreign youtubers, they're both stupid and lack any self-awareness, one is a toothless illiterate and struggles with simple speech and is an addict. The other is an obese goblin who ran for president once, and had his dog taken away for abuse. They're toxic, immature, rude towards each other and other people. They're unhygienic, they've pissed/shat themselves on camera, the house they live in is a mess, they refuse to work. People pay to come in and film them. Despite objectively knowing this is pathetic, I can't stop watching them. And despite seeing how they act, I almost kinda like them. Now one has moved away and I'm hoping he comes back and they make up soon. They're so terrible together, it's a perfect match. It's like an ironic OTP but maybe not so ironic after all.

>>495995Not really though. If they fail to remove him he'll be seen his supporters as the president that stood against a corrupt deep state, and won. Relevant when alongside a wall this was most of what he promised. Heck, he even tweeted himself, "Go ahead and impeach me, numbskulls, you'll just make yourselves look worse". Then they went ahead with it anyway, and according to the polls, only made themselves look worse. Because obviously, right? Unless there's a smoking gun, which so far there isn't, it just makes Democrats look underhanded, and cowardly, and weak. Any party with the confidence to beat him fair and square with a remotely quality candidate would just do that instead.

It feels nice to be cool with my ex.
Everything was really fucked up from all angles, and I think most (normal) people would've just ditched each other completely after everything that happened, but we just have fun banter and talk about shared interests, like actual friends. It feels really good.
I knew a full blown relationship was out, but I still didn't want to let them go (and I could kind of tell they didn't want that either). It looks like I didn't have to, in the end. I'm pretty happy. I hope it stays like this.

I keep checking the instagram of this boy who my friend (who was the general manager of my last job lmao) fucked while they were both working at my last job (retail store). It was sorta hush-hush drama but I found out through word of mouth because that boy ended up telling a whole bunch of people. My friend has moved back to her home country now for a year (for reasons unrelated to this, although I doubt they would have ever reprimanded her lol), and the boy quit shortly after I did (everyone assumes it was because he was fucking the general manager) but I came across his instagram because he liked one of her posts. I check it every once in a while out of boredom, I don't follow him, and for the past few days he just keeps changing his bio. He used to have a link to my friend's ig for the longest time, then took it off for a few days, yesterday it said something about being blocked by a girl, and today it just says 'it's a great day to piss people off.'
I get the feeling it's about my friend and now it feels like I'm just watching a soap opera. Or like, a soap opera is playing in the other room and I'm just trying to piece the story together every time I happen to walk by and catch less than 30 seconds of it. Just really, really watery milk but it's an entertaining part of my day to pop over to his instagram and see what he's changed his bio to every other day or so.
I haven't talked to this friend since she left the country. Everyone thought we were kinda close, and I thought so too? I didn't even get so much as a 'bye' when she left. We got along really well and hung out on occasion, but thinking back on it, she was a really secretive person and I found out a lot of things I didn't really need to know through other people lol.

Finding his instagram after everything came out was super interesting lol. I realized that some drawings she posted were of him, and she most likely brought him on her out of state trips because I saw he posted a lot of photos of things she had posted on her stories, and he had some cropped pictures that were obviously her haha. I feel sort of bad that he basically got thrown aside as her boytoy, but not that bad because he was insufferable to work with and something about him always rubbed me the wrong way.

No. 497117
>>497112Okay, I was wrong, but
>>497060 wasn't me. But I still agree that having a fwb/casual sex is basically giving men what they want- free sex with none of the responsibility, emotional labor or commitment attached. A woman having casual sex with a man might think it's just fun sex with a friend but most men don't see it that way. They usually see sex with no responsibilities as an accomplishment and a woman is like an object that they won. There's a reason it's called being a "player" and "having game". In other words, they see you as a slut who is worth having sex with but not worth investing time/labor/commitment with. They will leave as soon as a woman they deem worthy of their commitment comes along and forget you ever existed. At least if a man is giving you money/gifts then you have gained something material out of it.
I'm sure there are probably some men out there who can have a mutual understanding with a woman that he respects and have a no-strings-attached sexual relationship with her, but they are rare.
That being said I hate the phrase "why buy the cow if you can get the milk for free". It's cringey and objectifying.

At least I'm not delusional.Well yeah you've fried your brain with an image board echochamber to the extent that you think you're in some sad win/lose gender war scenario where anything good that happens to a man is a bad thing happening to you.
Feel free to never talk to a man ever again but it's mega cringe when you get so pinkpilled you loop back around to basically being a tradthot who slut shames women for not having traditional gender dynamics of only having sex when you're financially dependent on a man which as we all know is the real empowering situation.

You're not giving women any respect, dignity, or self worth by saying those things.

Even then, BC is not 100% effective, so she's always putting herself at risk so she can have subpar sex in most cases. Great.

>>497196I'm going to level with you, anon: a lot of
career artists will tell you that going to college for art isn't necessary, and they're mostly right. As someone
in art school right now, the biggest benefit is the industry connections, and even
those can be acquired without college if you're tenacious enough.
All you need to get good at art is discipline. Some people need discipline from an outside source (like a college class/professor), and others don't. If you're someone who doesn't, you can literally just teach yourself how to draw using books.
If it makes you feel better, I'm in art school and sometimes I want to kill myself out of sheer anxiety that I've wasted my money on this degree and I'll never land an actual art job. And I'm told decent at drawing! If you're an artist, the fear that you're not good enough never really goes away, no matter how good you get or however many classes you take. It sucks, but it's a good motivator. When I feel like I suck it drives me to improve– it's way better to think that you suck than it is to think that you're great.
Art is an inherently stressful career, I suppose. In your specific situation, I think you'll be much happier if you just do it on the side for a while and slowly build up your skills. Don't stress about time. I know people who didn't get their art published in books until they were ten years out of college.
Sorry if I made things worse, anon. All I'm saying is that I really relate to what you're experiencing.

>>497224>>497225Ok, but those aren't good men and that wasn't what that anon was talking about. I'm not saying this is the woman's fault, but a lot of time they commit to shitty men and don't realize until it's too late that he doesn't really give a shit about her. That's why shit like that pic happens and why being "picky" is so important. What I'm saying is, this is easy to avoid if you dump them at showing any signs of low empathy/selfishness and only look at their actions, not their words. A lot of women look past subtle red flags even when it feels wrong and that's why they end up in these relationships. They don't trust their gut instinct.

They don't give a fuck about otaku women. But because of that, right now we have women creating their own shit and funding their own big dick ops with the power of organic fujo communities (even in China where BL is pretty damn over-ground and corporatized).

>>497443Yeah BL will never become "mainstream" because it's still a niche looked down upon. Just because the content is more accessible and shows I can count on one hand have had canongay characters doesn't mean it's becoming "mainstream". Sure franchises might pander to the BL crowd by including fujobait but as for actually gay characters, you still have to go for the actual BL content created by fellow fujo authors. The big money company-born ones leave the gayness vague enough to catch the heterosexual otomefag market which is much bigger in size (and thus profit) than the fujos are.

>>497502I've never dated a black man, and I purposely avoid them, because I prefer guys who remind me of anime characters. It's just a preference. Also, they're kind of horrible in character. IMO, the same goes for Arab and Indian men, but at least society doesn't expect me to touch them with a ten-foot pole. I've heard and witnessed too many disgusting things to put myself through that. I might get with a mixed guy, at most.
The only reason to ever be pro-black is for the sake of black women and children. Men in general are already pretty bad, but I think black men are some of the worst to deal with.
>>497536I always feel weird about this, because I guess I'm "supposed" to be jealous, but I don't really mind. I'd be a hypocrite to be bothered, since it's not like I want black men. To each their own. The only time I feel negatively is if the guys are the type to publicly talk shit about black women, while the girlfriend gets an ego boost for being "not like the other (read: black) girls".
Also, from personal experience, those guys seem to seethe the hardest when black women date out, for some reason. They're not bothered about being hypocrites. They can go on tangents about how black women are bottom of the barrel, but then, when we date men who actually do like us, they scream "bedwench", like we owe them something.
Honestly, if black women so awful, why should the "lucky" conventionally attractive, upper-middle class and/or smart ones punish their future daughters by procreating with black men (who are more
abusive, achieve less in life, and are far more likely to commit crime than black women)? Isn't that effectively squandering their good genetics and killing their potential? You can't have it both ways.

>>497527Exactly! When all the fanart started showing up, the only thing I ever saw about Claude were mostly memes about him making fun of Dimitri/other characters for being white or about him being poc. Seemed like they only used him just for the woke jokes then completely ditched him for Dimitri when they wanted to do actual ship/fandom shit.
That was my experience anyway.
With that said, I’m happy to see there seems to be genuine interest in characters like Raihan from Pokémon. There’s so much lovely fanart of him, but I wouldn’t be surprised if people are trying to pull the same shit with him too.

I've been browsing Lolcow since 2014 or 2015, so I've seen my fair share of posts from suicidal farmers throughout the years. Sometimes I wonder how many of them actually went through it, how many farmers are now dead. I wonder if I had positive interactions with them, if they posted something that made me smile or laugh, if our paths ever crossed in some way, no matter how small. It makes me sad.

>>497563African-American men date out more often than the women. In fact, a lot of them go full pick-me and try to discourage other AA women from dating interracially.
I think if it's such a big deal, all the Africans who move to the US can make up for it. AA women who only want black men can just look to African men. They have their own set of problems, but they're financially more successful, are better-educated and commit less crime than African-American men.
At the end of the day, all the races we know today only exist because of various groups blending together, anyway. The entire world will be shuffled and mixed into brand new races sooner or later, and trying to stop time because we're afraid of disappearing is a waste of time. The only way for black Americans, or any other racial group, to truly end is if they are all killed by genocide, war or disease. All mixing does is carry on their genes along with other people's.

I literally can not explain the extreme self hatred I felt towards myself and especially every time a scrote started to casually talk about how gross saggy breasts are or about how they "don't count".

Boomer males are not as corrupted by porn but also have a lot of disdain and contempt in them for women who are too skinny/fat and not pretty enough for them. They're especially judgemental towards plastic surgery too. Zoomer scrotes are still pretty young but are already displaying their porn addictions and cumbrain behavior all over the internet. They're not as obsessed with thinness as millennial males but the only non-thin women they'd consider are thicc insta baddies which is also an unattainable look.

Do you ever think about how you could make a killing teaching troons how to apply makeup? I know my way around makeup (obvs not makeup artist level) but i dabble in natural day-to-day makeup on the daily, i think if i could handle sitting with a narcissist for an hour or so i could make some money.
I think it would be in vain though. I doubt half of these retards could even maintain a somewhat consistent skincare routine to handle daily makeup use. If you have a bunch of acne and your skin is overall dirty, that just shows through the makeup, in fact caking a bunch of concealer and foundation on top is likely to make it worse.

One of the reasons I hate the holidays is because I can't use the fucking bathroom whenever I want. Literally from December 23rd until Jan 2nd… and of course I'm on my period then too.
It's because our dog hides in there, he's scared of firecrackers and loud noises. I don't blame the poor animal for behaving the way it does, it's not his fault. However he's rather large and the bathroom is really small so he sometimes gets nervous when there's someone inside with him and there's loud noise outside. He starts to bark and growl which makes me uncomfortable since I really don't like dogs. Or he gets bored or wants attention so he tries to put his head on your lap while you're trying to piss. Showering is a no go, he loves water. Sometimes he wants to get inside the rest of the house but he's not allowed in because of the cats and dragging him back to the hallway is a pain in the ass and it makes everyone in the house nervous so there's a lot of fighting between my parents. I don't hate him for being like this, but I sure hate my brother for being a pos and bringing home a pet, without asking anyone and then making my father take care of it.
I can't wait until this is over, I fucking hate the holidays.

The handler looked down at him and then looked away, and the little pup maneuvered his cute little butt around by stepping backwards so he could get even closer to his handler and sit on his foot, then looked up at him again.
God I wish I could have pet him. I love dogs so fucking much, I always get so happy when I see those good dogs working hard to keep people safe. I know I can never pet them but I wish I could!!!

I got a blood test the other day to test my blood sugar and I'm anxiously awaiting the results. I'm terrified that I have diabetes or some weird issue but I have surgery coming up in a week for something unrelated. I have never truly felt "healthy" my entire life, but for the past several months I've been feeling tired and fatigued all of the time and numbness throughout my body but especially on my hands and feet and it's been getting worse. My sex drive is low. I'm not fat: I'm 5'5 125-130 lbs. When I lost 10 lbs (I was 115 lbs) I had bruises all over my legs and in general I bruise easily. I've had anemia on and off for years and it runs in my family, low blood sugar (I've had hypoglycemia before) and very low blood pressure (like 90/60 is the norm for me). I am always thirsty but I only drink water. I constantly have cravings especially for beef and fish and fatty foods like avocado, beans, etc, but when I eat them it doesn't help. I've also always had a sweet tooth and I eat healthier than I did when I was younger but I still crave sugar badly, but when I do eat it I feel like garbage and exhausted. My PCP also suspects I have Raynaud's. Btw I'm not trying to get a diagnosis on here just expressing my fears.

>>498429Like I said, this is a hypothetical “if I don’t get married in 10 years” thing. I grew up with a mentally ill, irresponsible father, and an intelligent, fiscally responsible and driven mother . Honestly, my life would’ve been easier if my parents had divorced when I was a child (long period of separation), and during that time I had never felt more comfortable and happy in my own home. I see where you’re coming from, but no father is better than a mentally ill, irresponsible, angry father. I’m not going to hold off looking for a husband, but I am going to stop coddling
abusive behavior just because I feel like a need a man to achieve my goals.

Anyway, while it is still shallow, humans are visual creatures when it comes to sexual stuff, I prefer a boyfriend who is more selective because it means he will more likely only have eyes for you, because I am more aesthetic than I am extreme or big I just prefer a guy who wants that. Having looks preferences isn't shallow unless you're an asshole about it. Anyone who claims they don't want certain features on their partners body is lying.

>>499161The weird thing about these dolls is that they seem very in line with the whole Elsagate thing. I haven't seen anyone point this out.
It seems like they're literally made for unboxing videos, and they hit that specific (often age-inappropriate,
problematic) algorithmic checklist that many of those bizarre "kids" YT videos do. "Poop, puke, slime, syringe, injection".
The most likely explanation I've heard for the child-targeted YouTube stuff was that it was mostly produced in non-western countries, many of which don't have the most thorough understanding of what's considered child-appropriate in the west. They just get a list of the most commonly searched things and make sure to incorporate them into their videos for as many views as possible.
But, MGA Entertainment is an American corporation. They have intelligent marketing/PR teams giving the okay for things before they enter the mainstream. Multiple someones are overlooking these weird-ass toys before putting them out on the market.
Also, someone at MGA is making the conscious decision to spend extra money in putting nipples and penises on dolls, even though (AFAIK) literally no one was actually worried about them not having sexual features (dolls don't reproduce or need to breastfeed, and I'm pretty sure no kids grow up thinking their bodies are "wrong" for having nipples or genitals, while their dolls don't).

I remember some parents complaining that Bratz dolls were inappropriate back then, too. The fact that all of this is coming from the same company, MGA, makes things look a little bit worse, not better.
Also, I just noticed that Bratz Kidz designs are generally more on the "modest" end. I'm going to tinfoil and assume that each line has a different designer (or design team), and the same designer(s) behind the Babyz doll line you posted also had a significant hand in

In no way am I trying to downplay the legitimacy of the normalization of pedophilia, but the people worried about young girls' toys being "tOo SeXuAl" today are no different than the suburban conservative Baptist parents of the 1960s worried about Barbie being "too suggestive" and having "sexual implications" because she had prominent eyelashes and wore lipstick. It's the same "old good! new bad! toys were better when i was a kid!" moral panic mantra being recycled generation after generation, and it's funny to watch people say toys nowadays are too sexual as if people haven't been saying that for literal decades now. If that mentality continues, we'd just get to a point where people no longer draw women with breasts because "breasts are signs of adulthood and therefore inherently sexual!!!" even though literally most women on the planet have breasts. (I've been wearing a bra since I was 9 and had my period at 10, and some of y'all's claims about the natural effects of puberty being "pedo catering" sound ridiculous.)
Remember, zoomers - in 1984, this outfit that Madonna wore in a performance was considered "too sexual" to be on television.

I bought these headphones yesterday and I'm so excited for them to come in the mail (Anker Soundcore Life Q20)! I have some wired noise reduction ones from Sony that I impulse bought before a trip to Japan (I think I had just lost the earbuds that came with my phone at the time or something, I usually don't go for big headphones) and they work fine and I don't even mind that they're wired, but they're battery operated. Sometimes I'll just forget that they're on and yeah, it's my fault, sucks they died so fast, but I just changed the battery a few weeks ago and it's dead again even though I made it a point to always check that my dumbass turned them off after use!!
I was prepared to drop like $400 on those super nice Bose headphones because I'm a pleb and any fancy tech features easily sway me (tapping to change songs, raise/lower volume, turn off ANC by raising hand over headphone to listen to people without removing them entirely, etc), but even just these $60 ones will probably blow my current headphones out of the water. I just missed a sale on Amazon where they were $20, and in my quest to now just buy them full price on any place but amazon, I found them on the google store that had coupons expiring yesterday and still got them for $20 off! I'm excited. Also in-ear earbuds hurt my ears which is why I opted to continue using over ear ones.

this is kind of a vent but really isn't important enough to be called one, so… here it goes.
i had an internet friend that i knew for maybe 5 years. we were very close and talked often. we were typical tumblr fags, so once i got my life turned around and finally grew up last year we stopped talking as frequently. it's been a few months since we last spoke. i was feeling bad for not talking to him (he messaged me last and i didn't respond) so i checked out his social media. he's not nearly as tumblr as we used to be, but he's still on the tumblr spectrum (lol). making fairly aggressive posts about how straight guys are awful, how twinks are awful, how straight girls are awful, how lesbians are awful, how thin people are awful, etc. and a LOT of horny posting about how much dick he's getting on a regular basis, with equally as many posts about how he can't find/keep a bf. also posts about how long-term weight loss isn't possible, accompanied by posts about how sexy and desirable he is. i'm glad he's more comfortable with his sexuality but this sudden promiscuous behavior and false displays of self-confidence suggest that he's still struggling with self-hatred. i feel for him and miss him but i can't relate to him at all anymore. i can only be sympathetic from a distance. actually talking to him drains any fondness i once had. he's become a very unlikeable person and it's just disappointing.

Barbie typically wasn't actually as suggestive as most pearl-clutchers claimed, and neither are/were most Bratz dolls. They're just fashion dolls, and Barbie later branched out to encompass all sorts of different careers, so it's whatever.

>>499482It's guilt by association fallacy. If you're offended that toys are sexualizing toddlers, you're apparently just like evangelicals in the sixties who though Barbie was too sexual. But motivation
matters. People in the sixties were just being misogynistic- Barbie dressed exactly like most adult women at the time. People now are upset that literal, diaper-wearing
baby dolls are wearing fishnets and hot-pants. It's teaching kids from a young age that the sexualization of little girls is normal, and not literal pedophilia.
Bratz Babies and LOL Surprise dolls look like hookers. How can you possibly look at pic related and think that's okay? Do you think little girls should be dressed in nothing but caution tape? Yes, I know it's meant to be a reference to Lady Gaga. But Lady Gaga is an adult– it's acceptable for an adult to dress this way and sing about taking "a ride on your disco stick," because she's an consenting, sexually autonomous adult. The same is not acceptable for what looks like a four-year-old child.

>>499491i mean it's from the same company that has been indoctrinating girls for
decades i thought regular bratz dolls were weird, but atleast they had adult bodies, and the babies thing could be chalked up to part of an annoying babies trend all media had at the time. but these baby whores are gross.

Anyone remember that time in 2010 where for like 6 months everyone was putting rooster feathers in their hair as extensions? I always thought it was really cool but couldn’t do it because with naturally curly hair you’d have to curl them every day and that wasn’t worth it.

I can't stop looking at airbnbs in Hawaii. I found so many beautiful homes, including one house that was built by one of the hosts!
I've been so scared about learning how to drive, but I don't want to go to Hawaii until I get my license (so I can rent a car and go wherever I want) and fuck these nice airbnb homes alone are motivating me to suck it up and learn.

>>499488>>499491Honestly fashion dolls are meant to be creative outlets for girls to play with outfits they are not allowed to wear because they are children.
Monster High was capitalizing on the Emo shit of the 2000s and ofc some little girls saw it around and thought it was super cool.

>>499511Mattel totally fucked up the branding, they tried to woobiefy MH, make it cuter and girlier, when they had to play up the edgyness which was what made it cool and unique the first place.
No. 499518
>>499509Exactly, which is why fashion dolls should be adults or at least teenagers. Not toddlers or babies.
If you want to tap into the fashion dolls and baby doll market at the same time, just give an adult or teenage doll a baby brother or sister, like Kelly for instance.
Kelly dolls are a fantastic example of "fasion baby doll" done well. Kelly outfits are never risque, at least not that I can find.

>>499525I don't really know shit about other jeans because I vehemently hate the feeling of pants and just wore leggings/jeggings for years, but fuck I really love Uniqlo jeans. I always get their cigarette cut jeans because they don't make short stubby legs look like poorly packaged sausages. Their other cuts look like fucking shit on me. They have an alteration service (free for any non dress pant above $20) since pants only come in one length, but I prefer the look of rolled up cuffs so I don't do it. Jeans usually run maybe around $40 or $50 a pair? But I've gotten my three pairs on markdown for about $20 a pop. I've been cycling through these jeans on repeat and they've been lasting me really well.
I've seen my friends get the boyfriend jeans from them too and it looks really cute on some people's body types, but alas, not on me.

>>499435Barbie is based on a German doll called Lilli which in turn is based on a sex doll, so people kinda had a point when observing the sexuality of Barbie
However the cultural association we have with Barbie now is very innocent.

>>499543Staying home, fuck yeah. Going on on NYE sucks, it's busy and travelling anywhere is a nightmare. Plus I got shit to do tomorrow, don't wanna be hung over.
That said it's not like I have people lining up to party with me kek, if I didn't stay home I'd only have my sister's party to go to.

>>499543Staying at home! I'm really sick right now and I don't have much of a social life.
I don't really know what I'd do even if I did celebrate. What do people do? Maybe if I had a partner we'd do something together but otherwise I'll start the year as I mean to go on: in my underpants, eating myself silly

see it that way: everyone is practically throwing 280 character conversation starters into the void, hoping someone is going to pick one up
also make your profile interesting and maybe a good introductory pinned tweet, since it'll be the first impression someone gets
No. 499747
>>499743Honestly? Probably not. I genuinely doubt that the majority of the people here claiming they were happy that that esport troon died actually were happy or actively celebrating his death. They probably didn't feel very strongly about it at all and were just fronting because we dunk on trannies all the time. But I don't think they were actually like "yes, the fact that this clearly mentally ill and drug addicted person just committed suicide pleases me". Its just acting like an asshole on a site which actively encourages users to act like an asshole.
Also its fun to be hilariously cruel sometimes. Especially when you're a woman and more often than not the target of cruelty every damn day. Its fun to switch and be the cruel one sometimes.

I've been playing AI Dungeon all day, having some great quality keks. Who knew that an AI acting as a DM would be so much fun?
I just have to figure out how to make the AI finally understand that my character is female, because everytime I ask for a gf, it suddenly thinks that I have a penis.

Pretty much across Asia, compulsory education all teaches american pronunciation, it’s easier to hear and imitate. Exceptions being language schools using British/Aussie teachers to prep students for going abroad in those countries. Vocabulary is a mixed bag, depending on textbook used(how does American grammar even differ from British??). But yeah it makes sense that Europe would teach British English. And this is assumption but I bet Latin America teaches American English as well.
