i think your best bet is to flag yourself as bi, like wear a pin in a visible area, and try to engage in a bit of friendly banter with women in the social opportunities that are available to you. for instance, maybe there's a cute chatty barista in your local cafe that's also looking for a gf or whatever. idk, it's the only thing i can think of. pleasant social interactions with other women are really nice regardless of whether or not they lead to something

My parents were lazy and fast food was cheap so yeah I ate a lot of it, and even got the nasty habit of my brain considering it 'reward' food. Even had the added bonus of not being molested and ogled as overtly much when I became a fattie. A slight phobia of choking kept the weight off for a time but by my preteens I was over it and a balloon for it.

Still got weight problems. But it's not as bad as it could've been. I try to avoid it, the food is pretty bland, and I know the ingredients are shit, and that the corporates are making a fortune.

Do you watch porn? serious question here. Do you read erotic literature or anything to get off when you're alone? I do. And that was the only way I could rationalize not getting upset when I think about it. I would be a hypocrite and an asshole if I got mad at something that I also do too. that's just me though.

It's difficult. I'm the type of person that takes that shit personally because I grew up really insecure about myself. But honestly, it's just about not giving a fuck. (Easier said than done, I know). He could be out physically cheating on you but he's jerking his rod.

The truth is, if you asked him to stop, he never would, truely. He'd probably always find a way to watch it again. There are almost 0 men nowadays that don't watch it or have some form of getting off when you're not around. Sad but true.

Sorry deleted my post because I felt like it was probably better suited for the advice thread on g. But to answer your question, no I don't consume porn.

I use my imagination to get off mainly. Once in a blue moon I will look at hentai but very rarely because it's stating to disgust me now too a bit.

>I use my imagination to get off mainly.
See, I just can't do that. I need coomer-brain levels of stimulation if I'm going to get off. I need to hear people having sex, seeing the touching, penetration and other sexual acts. Maybe he's the same way?

Honestly there's no real reason to be OKAY with your partner doing something you don't like. You absolutely don't have to "get over it" or be okay with it. But I'm telling you that if you don't at least try to push it back in your mind or not care as much about it, it will eat you up. It was a main source of frustration for me since the start of my relationship. It was pure agony knowing that my bf could potentially be following some stupid e-thots or watching actual porn, I felt bad. But besides me being a hypocrite if I got upset, I also just rationalized that he has sex with ME. Not them. And if he wants to take a shot at a porn star, he can go ahead. You really don't need a man like that in your life anyway.
But what does that all matter if you have a good relationship, but he still watches porn and you don't think he'll stop? I still haven't figured it out besides just… not thinking about it and trying not to care about it.

BTW if it makes you feel better, I don't actually think about fucking the people that I see in porn. I'm sure there are a lot of people like that, that just like to see the act of sex or something. Like, I watch gay sex, lesbian sex, public j/o videos… I'm in a het relationship though. I just enjoy the stuff in the videos and don't necessarily imagine myself in the situation.

I think it's because the UK has a huge newspaper reading culture, or at least did, so the UK press felt they'd always make loads of money and have loads of social prestige and could do whatever they wanted.

People with OCD struggle with uncertainty and doubt. So the main point of OCD treatment is to accept that there is a possibility and that you have to move on. You can't preform compulsions and as a result have to sit with the anxiety whatever it is that you obsess over brings. Eventually you can have a thought, recognize it's a thought and not react to it in the way you did previously.

I think maybe you just have to work on dealing with inconveniences other people cause you and recognize that it's a passing feeling. People make mistakes and maybe you'll still have grudges but you don't have to react to it.

This of course depends on what happened, like if someone abused you I think that is a very situation. However, If someone accidently threw away your lunch and you hold a heavy grudge against them then maybe you have some anger issues you need to address.

Do you guys think I might be experiencing auditory hallucinations?
Sometimes, when I'm in my kitchen using my microwave, I'll hear the ding sound of a microwave. It sounds like it's coming from my neighbours apartment, but the ding is the exact same as my own microwave and I don't hear any humming that'd indicate a microwave being used. Just the ding. I've heard it several times, always in the same context.
And sometimes, when I'm on the toilet, I'll hear the sound of a school bell? It's the sound used in anime, the one that goes like ding dong ding dooong and repeats. It sounds like it's coming from my upstairs neighbours aparment? I only hear it when I'm on the toilet and I've heard it several times. The sound is isolated just like the other one, I can't hear anyone watching anime or anything.
I live in an apartment building and the walls are really thin here, guests at my place have confirmed that you can hear people doing stuff in the neighbouring apartments. Plus the girl who lives above me does kinda look like a weeb.
However, I have been diagnosed with bipolar II. I'm not sure if I only hear the sounds when I'm manic, but if I do, it'd basically confirm that I have bipolar I instead, right? Help me anons, am I crazy? And if I am why are my hallucinations so fucking stupid istg…

Copy from the vent thread but I just want someone's opinion on my situation. I really hate my current workplace situation.


I started in September and I've been given zero training whatsoever, since September, they've just told me to call random establishments and try to sell them shit. I wasn't given a script, had no idea who to fucking call, barely even know anything about the company or the products we are selling- it's just a mess. Still, I've tried to soldier on and see if I can get any sales but it seems pointless. I also have to make random stupid marketing calls which is awful, but it is useless. Even worse than all this shit, I cannot stand my coworkers and my boss is a cunt. One of my coworkers does drugs in front of his two kids, cheats on his wife openly (they all laugh about it in the office), and always talks sexually. He's made jokes about wanting me to have an Onlyfans and when drunk, acted super weird around me. Also always tries to convince me that my boyfriend is cheating on me, even though he is really lovely towards me and I know he isn't. Yet, he always says we aren't gonna last because we are each others first, but we've been together for five years and we are fucking happy and even so, HOW IS IT YOUR BUSINESS? He always explains what weird sexual things mean to me and my boss finds it hilarious when I look uncomfortable and grossed out.


My boss is a complete fucking creep. He's been married several times, abandoned his kids, fucks prostitutes and is one of those jerks obsessed with Motorcycles. He's made jokes about me getting screwed, calls me "good girl", thinks Hugh Hefner was a great guy, blames Epstein's victims, always talks about women's appearances in SUCH a perverted way. For example, one of our colleagues who work in a different office uploaded a picture of herself on LinkedIn, and he sees that she's sent an email- so he checks out her social media profiles and starts saying shit like "awh, SHE'S fit" and "loads of make up but would" and it was so gross, she's literally 30 years younger than him. He's said I'm pretty unprovoked too and has made multiple comments about my appearance. Also, has a weird hatred over the fact my boyfriend is white, and brings it up whenever he can. Like, one time my boyfriend came to pick me up for the first time from work, and instead of my boss letting me leave, he said "I'm gonna go outside, have a cig and check out Anon's boyfriend out". I thought it was a joke until he came back in saying mean things about my boyfriend and saying "he needs to step his game up". Even then, I didn't really think that much of it until I found out he walked all the way across the carpark, away from the building, to smoke right near my boyfriends car and stare him down through the window. GOD EVEN THE OTHER MEN in the office are awful, there's a guy next door who's besties with my boss grabbed my waist randomly TWICE! I wanted to scream and say something but I feel so trapped because my boss will fuck me over If I do so I embarrassingly stayed quiet. He's only stopped doing this stuff now because I've awkwardly had a run in with his wife and him. God, there's like three women in the entire building and they do not seem interested in befriending me. This is my first proper full-time job and I feel like idk what is normal and okay.

Am I stupid for wanting to quit and just find something else? I've achieved the best grade classification in a respectable degree, but I know the job situation is terrible for everyone right now. I have enough money for around 3 months of rent saved + living costs, and I pray I'll be able to find something by then. I'll apply to 20+ a day, I have no issue trying. Idk, I feel so humiliated and like a quitter.

i remember there was an episode where a woman was coming back home and she kept hearing noises and thought someone was following her but it turned out that she had a bug in her ear, and another one was a girl in the metro listening to loud music so she couldnt hear that a dude was killing everyone in the subway. did i just dream this shit or was it an actual thing?

How do you get past the guilt and sunk cost fallacy of getting rid of clothes?

I own a shit ton of clothes that I've never had the heart to just trash, and feel too salty about donating. In some cases they really are nice clothes that I only wore like once or twice. I even keep clothes that don't fit right as a 'what if' or 'maybe someday.' I tried taking a basket to consignments but they have a pretty strict algorithm of what they take. Like not just about quality but also trends, seasons, and more. At the best of times they'll only buy 4-5 articles of clothing from me and I think the best I've ever done is like $50-60. I could try selling secondhand but the thought of having to photograph, list, store, and then ship seems daunting too.

Honestly, not wanting to deal with
>I could try selling secondhand but the thought of having to photograph, list, store, and then ship seems daunting too
Is what leads me to just sigh, take the loss, and donate after trying the consignment shops. I don't want to look at the donation/sell pile or the clothes wasting space in my closet, so I just drop them off at Goodwill or a women's shelter. Once that's done, I don't think about them anymore, and knowing that I won't think about it anymore (out of sight, out of mind) is what motivates me to donate and get it over with. Dealing with the sunk cost fallacy sucked at first, but once I did my first few major closet purges, it made me a much more conscious buyer anyway, and it became less and less of a problem. Now it's not a problem at all. Try to think about the peace of mind you'll have from a less cluttered closet with space for pieces that you like enough to actually wear, fit you properly, you feel good in, etc. It's daunting to do at first, but once it's done, you won't even think about it, and you'll feel much better for it. Try to look forward to that.

What massively helped me in getting rid of a lot of clothes I wasn't wearing, was figuring out exactly what looked good on me in terms of models and colors. Everything I knew was making me look worse than I could look was so easy to let go of afterwards.

As for selling: if you're daunted by the selling process, start with listing with a few or even just one item so you can get yourself familiarized with the process. I remember being daunted at first too, especially because I wasn't sure how everything worked with packaging and shipping, figuring out shipping costs etc. but it's actually pretty easy.

Pic related. Yes, it is a Japanese school bag and yes, I bought it because I was a weeb and wanted to larp as a school girl.

BUT it's actually an awesome bag to take to the office or class. I got it in Japan yeaaars ago and it's held up all this time, it's nicely structured with plenty of convenient divisions and pockets, it's big enough to fit everything I normally carry plus whatever extras I might have like a jacket, water bottle, shopping, books etc, and it goes well with my somewhat preppy/twee outfits. The fact that it's a literal school bag is probably what makes it good, kids need something hardy if they're gonna use it all day every day. I find that the same applies to shoes, if a style is used for school shoes (eg mary janes and loafers) they will be comfy and last ages.

Since everyone on this board seems to be a psych expert, how can you tell if you have BPD vs something else?

A few years ago my therapist at the time (in 2015) said I had BPD tendencies (not sure if she could diagnose or not) and for a while I believed I had BPD. I was in a bad place after a breakup and I had no friends. Since then my life has improved and I leaned into my ADHD diagnosis (done with software). However the COVID pandemic and losing touch with my best friend has made me feel worse over the last couple of months.

I lashed out at my friend for going AWOL on me and not responding to my texts for two weeks. (They're not a big texter but it hasn't been normal compared the past) Also a few weeks ago I had an episode of suicidal thoughts that lasted about a day.

>An intense fear of abandonment

Feel bad about my bff ghosting me, especially since they got a gf. I used to feel this more when I had no friends.
>A pattern of unstable intense relationships, such as idealizing someone one moment and then suddenly believing the person doesn't care enough or is cruel
Feel kind of this way to my bff. Are they my favorite person? Also I feel like I've had two very dramatic friendships that abruptly ended in the last couple of years which is more than normal. Not really sure what counts as having stable relationships.
>Rapid changes in self-identity and self-image that include shifting goals and values
This I don't agree with. After taking a break from college for years I didn't decide to change my major, though this year I decided on a new post-graduation path after I finally graduate. I definitely don't mirror, though I've picked up some mannerisms from my close friends. (Or is that mirroring?)
>Periods of stress-related paranoia and loss of contact with reality,
I can be paranoid sometimes but don't really agree with this
>Impulsive and risky behavior
I'm not sure. I can be impulsive but I'm not sure how much it counts. I've had hookups and used/sold drugs without being as discrete as I could be. I also don't save enough of my paycheck.
>Suicidal threats or behavior or self-injury
Not really sure I've done this recently
>Wide mood swings lasting from a few hours to a few days
Not sure if this applies
>Ongoing feelings of emptiness
I do feel bored a lot of the time
>Inappropriate, intense anger
I think I've struggled with this all of my life. I've gotten into very heated arguments in public before, mostly political. Most recently with a guy who was an anti-masker and believed that COVID was just tied with the presidential election.

Overall I don't think my behavior is too crazy but this hits too close for comfort.

Psychfag here. Most people with "BPD tendencies" are better off getting therapy for childhood trauma, rather than worrying about whether or not they have BPD. If you don't have extremely strong, textbook symptoms, you're likely to get a different diagnosis depending on who you talk to, as well as how regularly you're seeing them.

Honestly, your therapist shouldn't be throwing around diagnoses like that in the first place unless she thought it was actually going to benefit you in some way. I can't really even see how this would be the case when you're clearly not into the idea that you could meet the criteria.

You might consider looking into resources for C-PTSD rather than BPD, if you're really worried about. It's basically the same diagnosis but it's much less stigmatized and focuses on resolving trauma in addition to alleviating symptoms.

No education in psychology, but a family member has BPD. The scariest parts about BPD are not the depressive states. It's the mania. My family member has episodes where they believe to be a god, the only enlightened being on the planet, etc. Having casual sex and taking drugs can be part of that, but usually it's a lot worse. You may not save enough of your paycheck, but have you ever spent all of it on wood because you were definitely going to build a boat to sail the world to find Atlantis?
As said, I'm no expert, but you sound depressed rather than bipolar.

I definitely don't think I have CPTSD. My parents definitely aren't perfect, especially because they are immigrants who have different values than the average educated American, but they genuinely support me and it's taken a long time for me to realize that. The only thing I could think of that could be significant trauma is that I spent a lot of time bouncing between my parents and my grandparents because my mom was in school at the time.

I think my therapist was kind of useless. I saw her for at least 10 weeks and she never bought up any sort of treatment other than telling me to read a book about BPD. I guess I wasn't ~ready for therapy~ but I really can't remember anything useful I learned from her.

I guess I'm just full of anxiety and can't tell when my behaviors are normal or not.

My cat is like that too, so I made the string play a "platform game". Just bait him with the toy on various surface levels, make him go up and down to catch it, like that miner in that Manic Miner game I used to play as a kid. He likes it because it's challenging enough to keep him interested, but not too challenging to make him give up. This balance is very important, you will have to try out and see what "difficulty setting" is best for your cat.

I only have my own for experience, but arm hair is much lighter than leg's or armpit's, most women don't shave it. On your picrel, maybe the lighting makes it look like she has no hair, or maybe she shaves it to make her tattoos look their best.

It's likely just that arm hair is usually a lot lighter, and therefore doesn't show as much in photos. I have red hair and the hair on my arms is so blonde it's practically invisible (sadly same for my natural eyebrows) but if you felt them, there's a lot of hair there. My leg hair on the other hand is way darker. I think it's common for guys to have difference in hair colour over their bodies too - I remember dating a blonde guy once and his stomach had really dark hair over it. Regardless, I'm happy to see women show off noticeable body hair more - it's fucking bullshit we should be expected to be hairless by default.

Do you guys think my orthodontist would still have my records even though it's been over 10 years since I last saw her/got my braces out? I've been too much of a cheap fuck to replace my retainers so I've been using the same pair and obviously they've got holes from some teeth grinding over the years, and the ones for my top teeth snapped too. This year I finally have enough saved up that I can afford the $500 for a new pair but I don't know if her office even has my records… I tried to call but no one's picked up. Should I just go to a different ortho to get new retainers? My teeth have shifted a little but I've been wearing my retainers again and now they're back to fitting into my retainers so I think they would probably fit if my old ortho made me new retainers based on my old ones. pls no bully about my retainers being gross, I know they're supposed to be replaced like every 2 years but I couldn't justify the cost or asking my parents to foot the bill for them. My health insurance at the time covered my braces so we didn't pay out of pocket for it

Wouldn't it be better to place a steel wire behind your teeth to keep them in place? Most people get them after braces nowadays. I used retainers close to ten years after getting my braces removed and they didn't do shit, my teeth were moving if I didn't wear for even one night, and when I eventually gave up on them, my teeth finally settled. The final result isn't as good as it was when I had removed the braces, I really wish I had the wires instead.

How often are you complimented on your looks? There is no way to say this without sounding like humblebragging but Im complimented on my looks very frequently by strangers (mostly men) on the street but I truly feel like I have an extremely plain face. I dont think I'm ugly but I just feel like I'm very average when comparing myself to others my age. Average weight, average face, average style. I once had a barista call over her coworker to show her "how cute i am" and I felt like I was being pranked and it made me feel extremely paranoid. Is being complimented a lot a normal thing for all women and it's just the super supermodel looking women experience it 10x more?

I’ve had people compare me to her all the time but I’m pretty sure it’s just her weird personality and voice. Although I did do a celebrity face thing and she came up pretty regularly. I’m just really confused why I’ve never received random compliments when other people get them every time they go out although I’m reserved so it could be that? I’m sure we’re all way more critical of ourselves than how others see us and I doubt your friends and other people would care to lie to you.

Does anyone else get sort of pimples on their clit?? I get them on occasion, they’re hard little balls that form right on the seam where the clit hood and actual clit meet. I do make sure to wash my vagina well with summer’s eve because I use fragranced bar soap on the rest of my body and don’t want that on my vag, and find that just water doesn’t do much for me so I’m not sure why it happens. I go commando at home with loose pj shorts and change out my pantiliners everyday, so wtf

No. 688392

It might be a blocked pore, staph, blackhead or a cyst. I'm not a medical professional though so, don't take my word for it. Have you changed what vaginal wash you use at any point or tried to squeeze it?

I don't think it's bad if it's only happened once, but if this is a recurring thing you should probably go to a gyno or a dermatologist (do derms look at coochies?). Keep your eye on it.

I did dislodge them, they used to form in the little divots on the side of the clit where the hood and clit separate so I thought maybe it was discharge I didn’t do a good enough job of getting out and they came out easily, but today there were two just like 2mm from each other (one in the usual spot, and the other just off of that) and it was like, oh… that’s definitely not discharge since it was difficult to get out. They reappear like once a month or so but I don’t have health insurance to go get checked out… hopefully in the future lol. It doesn’t bother anything down there but sometimes I’ll just check my vag out and see one.

I would be happily willing to sacrifice doors being opened for me, being white knighted in online spaces, the expectation that men pay on a date (50/50 all the way), and the expectation that men make the money in exchange for being equal to men and taken as seriously. Pretty much I'm all for female privileges being eliminated in order for us to be on equal playing field with men.

Because it's pretty. The artists are also might be trying to do highlights according to the color theory. Like, the lady in the corner looks like she has an orangey skintone, so the artist did purple highlights. That's just my guess though.

Also, as an artist it's fun to just put some random colors down sometimes. It makes the painting less boring and breaks it up.

I am in desperate need of some help/advice

a while back I fell for a phishing scam and accidentally gave out my social security number and some other information yes im dumb, roast me idc

anyway, someone keeps finding out my debit card number. had it happen 3 times at my old bank. switched to a new bank, changed all of my passwords, changed my email etc. that worked for a few weeks. but I just got a notification on my phone that someone tried to use my debit card on surfshark.

I have no fucking idea what to do. I'm 99% sure they're using my social security number to get my card information because with all of my cards I've done different things. on one card, I only had for 3 days and I didn't enter it in anywhere on my phone or my computer, so I'm pretty sure it's not keylogging.

a woman at the bank said that I can't change my social security number, but that if I tell social services or whatever it's called that my ssn has been compromised they can add an extra number to the end of it. I can't figure out how to do that though.

can someone give me some guesses on how they're using that to get my debit card information? it's always just my card, not my bank account number.

Why is having a “wild, bad girl” type phase so important to you? It looks very glamorous on social media or in movies, but we all know that’s not how it really is.

Idk, maybe I’m biased, but there’s so much that I wish I either didn’t do or was protected from, especially in high school.

You’ve only been being reckless for a few months, and you already think past you might be “horrified” by it. How do you currently feel about it?

It’s weird, I’ve always been a clean freak and washed with skin sensitive soap, go commando at home/while sleeping, stuff that’s supposed to prevent things like that, but it still happens.

Mine were too! Not to be gross, but I would either pop or try to pop them all the time to get rid of them ,and it’d hurt so bad. Do not recommend btw.

At the very least, maybe the antiseptic wash in affected areas will help, picrel is the one I use.

Yes, but should obviously be used in conjunction with mental help.

I see a pf physio for this issue (inability to relax). The problem I find is that it’s so much harder to relax the muscles than contract them, and most exercises focus on contracting. However, becoming better able to contract them weirdly helps as you become more familiar with the muscles and how to work them. Definitely worth trying, though the mental aspect is really important too.

IDK if this even makes sense but here goes… Does anyone else get intense feelings of guilt and shame when they meet or read about people who are homeless, come from abusive situations, etc? Especially when it involves kids?

At my company we "adopt" a family for the holidays and everyone gets them gifts. Every time we do this though, I literally want to kill myself because it makes me so sad. Seeing what these kids want for Christmas and their interests was like a knife to the gut. I just feel like they don't have a great life and it makes me want to die.

Do straight girls get aroused by lesbian scenes? I remember being a kid, typing in "yuri anime" on YouTube and watching the amvs like pic related. Same thing with any joke lesbian kisses in live action western media. When I got a bit older I found one lesbian porn I liked (every other porn I tried didn't do anything for me and I've long since stopped watching any).

I'm sorry for sounding so dumb but I've been confused on whether I'm bi or misinterpreting things for a while now. I've tried dating girls before and wasn't very interested though tbh I was younger and my relationships with boys were the same. Now I'm an adult and in a long term relationship with a man, so it doesn't really matter to me whether I am or not. Just wondering how you farmers would take it

I can get turned on from watching/reading lesbian stuff. When I watched porn, I would occasionally watch solo or lesbian porn. don't judge me farmers, I've quit I consider myself straight because I've never felt a romantic love for a woman and couldn't imagine dating one. I think that's kinda what sets gay people apart from straight people. I've never actually attempted to have sex with a woman because I don't wanna lead anyone on. My personal experience has lead me to feel like sexual attraction and romantic attraction can be separate. A gay anon could have some different/better insight though. Tbh, I think your sexuality is something you gotta figure out for yourself. We don't know you as well as you know you.

i feel like it's worth noting that I also used to watch gay porn sooo….maybe I'm just pornsick. idk.

I agree that it's stupid and shouldn't warrant a sexuality flag or whatever, but in a world where you're thriving off of a point system that adds up to make additional words to -sexual, it may as well be recognized too.
That said libido doesn't have anything to do with needing to feel a strong romantic attraction before being sexually attracted to someone.

My point wasn't about libido anyway, you can ignore that bit if you want.
My point is that I just don't personally see demisexual as a stand alone sexuality so much as a description of someone's way of being sexual. I don't want to fuck all the random men I meet either or men who are ugly, that doesn't mean I'm LGBT under the notfuckingallthetandomoruglymensexual flag. But also maybe it's just that the word had only become popular recently and is tied to Twitter profiles that makes it feel fake to me instead of an old word.

No. 690644

>>690622
idk anon, I haven't really seen demisexual used as a claim to minority status or snowflake cred. I mean yeah I'm sure that happens too on tumblr and wherever, and maybe it's even how most people use the word, but I have sometimes used it as a descriptor for my attraction (not like "Hi I'm demisexual" because I guess I also don't want people to think I liken it to lgbt sexualities, more "I don't really feel attraction towards people I'm not in love with or at least crushing on pretty strongly, I guess some people call this being demisexual")

So like the other anon, I think people can just use it as a useful shorthand for this pretty common way of experiencing attraction. On the other hand maybe it isn't ideal, because demi- means "half", leading to the frequent confusion that demisexuals are low libido or half ace even though it's not about that.

Hey, so I just read on the Sims subreddit someone was having the exact same issue as you, and someone else replies to them "it's time to check your vitamin levels".
Googled a bit, turns out certain vitamin levels affect sleep. In particular too much/too little/erratic levels of vit D can disrupt sleep patterns, but some B vitamins are also important.
If you're taking supplements, maybe stop. If you're not, maybe time to try. Of course take all this with a huge grain of salt because of the source.

I don't mind and sometimes even enjoy dusting my figures because I like cleaning in general, but it's also worth it to me because they really are works of art. As cringe as it is because theyre just uwu cute girls, they are still really intricate sculptures that took a team of artists so many weeks to make. I love watching zbrush streams of artists working on the sculpts spending sometimes 4 hours just carving out the panels of a flowing skirt, it's really incredible. The artists often have just a few references to go off of to make a model that is beautiful in literally every angle so it's kind of nuts. $200 for an imported intricately hand painted sculpt of a character I love is well worth it for me.

it’s not healthy to be this paranoid. the truth about child abuse is that it isn’t this big conspiracy and it’s nowhere near as exciting as you like to think it is. children are most likely to be abused by people they know and sensationalizing the issue helps absolutely nobody.

Having two monitors can be helpful for many things. If you edit video, you can have the preview video on one screen and the editing controlls on the other.

As he’s your ex, I’m wondering if those moments of clarity coincided with a negative event? I always thought my exes were really hot, even their unattractive features I would think were cute on them alone or just wouldn’t notice them. Only when the relationships soured would I start thinking “his nose is weird” or whatever.

I read somewhere about the phenomenon of people getting really mad about the sounds of their partners chewing or breathing when the relationship wasn’t going well, so maybe it’s normal in those situations.

I’m sure it’s normal to notice your partner isn’t so attractive but if you’re thinking deeply about it or nitpicking, that sounds unhealthy.

Yeah generally younger kids in my experience are an example of a standard American accent, just check popular videos on tiktok (excluding the rednecks and AAVE). I also grew up in an east coast southern state >>691736 in a white area outside of a well developed southern city. My mom has a hick Southern accent and my dad has a strong NYC accent (from North Jersey tho). My biggest influence in my accent was probably other kids since we all didn't have accents/spoke in standard American accents. I moved to California where people gave me shit for being from the south but the thing is they couldn't tell I was even from the south. Slightly OT but I will always feel bad for people with hick accents since once you leave the south, people outside of the American south are brutal in assuming your intelligence and your political views based on you being from the south. I don't have an accent so I've been able to set them straight but I can't imagine how hard it'd be to have people talking down to me if I had a Southern accent.
I think the internet/cross cultural communication for kids has probably helped with standardizing the typical American accent across the younger population. Older people are more likely to have regional dialects and occasionally maybe poor young people from regions with typical accents that don't have as much internet access.
>>691727
> slurring and uptalk
This is probably the hallmark of standard American accents in young people which I attribute to our access to California-based entertainment and the internet.

I haven't cringed this hard in a while. He's an idiot but you're trying way too hard, either be more direct or tell him to fuck off or ghost him. Men know how to try when they actually want to, you don't need to neg him into asking out out on a proper date.

That's ironic because you're asking if it would be dramatic to ghost someone who is uninterested in talking besides if you said yes to meeting up to have sex. I know it's the stupid questions thread but come on. It's obvious what he's thinking, yet you're trying to bait him into asking you out by being passive aggressive (hurr you're not creative hurr that's mans job). If that's not chasing then what is? If he's not worth your time then don't pursue it further. It's simple as that.

How do each of you specifically position your mouth when drinking out of a glass and do you have to wipe your mouth?

I guess it's related to the shape of your mouth but whenever I drink anything the sides of my mouth get wet and then I have to wipe them with my hand after every sip. I don't feel like I'm drinking like a weirdo but other people don't seem to do this. I googled it but could only see stuff related to booze.

For what it's worth, I press my lower lip mostly level to the glass not under it, half open my mouth in pouty funnel shape like similar to picrel as I pour the water over the inside of my bottom lip. I feel like a complete alien writing this please help.

If he responded the way you wanted him to respond (which was the entire point of forcing him to think of stuff to do for a date) then you definitely, 100% would've had intentions to see him. Whatever helps you cope I guess, it must hurt to be treated by a "5'7 lazy scrote" like this.

Hi, you know those 500ml bottles of soda you can get? I'm in my late twenties and I only recently learned that you're not supposed to suck it like a dick, whole mouth over the opening. So many times I would drink like this and the bottle would crumple with my sucking and then when I stopped drinking the plastic would crackle really loudly. I didn't realise it was weird until my sister pointed it out. Ugh.

Anyway those are my credentials.

Stop drinking with your lower lip pressed against the rim. You think you're doing it tight enough but you're not. There isn't a firm enough seal at the sides so all the drink is dripping out the side of your mouth which is why you need to wipe.

Put your lip under the rim, not on it. Any side area of the glass or whatever will fall into your mouth instead of your face

Think of it this way: the first time the classic work was published, the type was manually set into a printing press. When the digital age arrived, and they decided they wanted to republish certain classics, some employee at the publishing company had to manually retype that classic work in order to have a digital copy of it at all.

Would not recommend. All my friends have had their share of creepy encounters with dates and sometimes it gets scary and you don’t want to risk that just because you’re horny and lonely. (I doubt you would be murdered it can just get sketchy)
Being a virgin also isn’t really embarrassing past high school, mature people won’t tease you or think it’s strange because it’s a personal choice and we all know it doesn’t matter at all. If you crave intimacy I’m also not sure if a dude from tinder would be the best choice for that. It’s hard to be single but it’s best to at least get a connection with someone before taking that step IMO especially because not having experience can be intimidating

You shouldn't lose your virginity just because you're embarrassed of what other people will say. It's honestly none of their business. That being said, women have done it before and come out in one piece, but you have to vet the guy carefully. I personally wouldn't recommend it, even the women who don't care who they have sex with say it's typically not a good lay, but in your case especially I think you should hold off until you meet someone you really like, especially after what you've been through and the fact that it's probably just going to make your loneliness worse (getting pumped and dumped by a stranger).

I've seen this happen a few times in classic novels. I think it could be that that's how the word was used/spelled in the language at the time and the language has since evolved. It could also be that the publishers are reprinting the first few editions of the book but not correcting any typing errors that were in them. This is either because they're cheap or they're preserving the text for students or researchers who want to study specific editions of the text (these usually have footnotes or endnotes that clarify typos for the readers).

Are they equivalent to MtFs who dgaf about typically male features as opposed to typical MtFs who are obsessed with erasing all male features? Like balancing out their testoterone with estrogen I suppose? And yes I'm only thinking of nonbinary men but the same hypothesis I have can also work for nonbinary women as well.
Idk I'm not going to ask this question to actual genderspecials because they're insufferable. But if anyone here knows and can tell me wtf the point of medications to affirm 'binary' genders is for nonbinary people then pls do inform me.
I tried googling it but this article just left me with more questions and unexpectedly disgusted me.

is it weird that my bf and i are only physical when we see each other in person? it's a new relationship, we haven't even been "official" a month yet, we met during the pandemic, and we talk every single day pretty much, either voice calls or chatting, we meet up once a week or so in person but we basically just spend the whole time making out and being physical; we don't really talk all that much in person. i don't think it's a bad thing, i'm just thinking if there are any consequences?

Has anyone ever felt the need to distance yourself from a friend, even if that said friend hasn't done anything wrong?
Why do I feel guilty when I want to distance myself from people for my own mental health?

No. 692725

>>692695
I think the goal is to look as androgynous as possible, fat distribution looking female would presumably help a dude look more vague, and estrogen thins out body hair so less shaving (I have no idea if that also works with facial hair but laser hair removal is also popular, so.)
Most nonbinary transitions I've seen are about seeing who can get the most damaged ugly undercut possible in the shortest amount of time tbh.

I do the same often, but it’s important to let your friends know what’s up before you go AWOL. If you don’t, your friends might wonder if they did something wrong. Maybe you just need time space, or some extra-extended alone time if you’re an introvert like me. I understand feeling guilty, but you’re completely fine in my opinion. It’s for your mental health, it’s like keeping off a sprained ankle. It’s for your health, and being in tip-top shape means you can be a better friend when you feel up to it!

(P.S I really like not taking to a friend for a looong time, because when we get to meet there’s a lot to talk about!)

Can you really be friends with your ex girlfriend?
I think she's nice and still cares about me but seeing her with a guy kinda broke me, like when I think of her I can't help but oscilate between thinking about sad things and good things. I still think she's neat and I still care about her but idk, like I thank her for the time we spent together as girlfriends but now I'm just sad, even if it's not her fault, I really want to get away from her, but then I feel guilty about just deleting someone who is still nice to me. I guess I have a massive guilt complex about being mean or abandoning those who are still nice to me. But it's not like she's the nicest either, idk please help

No. 692903

This "let's still be friends" thing is bullshit. Most people can't do it because most relationships are ended one-sidedly with one person being hurt by the other.
You do not have to be in contact with her if it makes you miserable. The grown-up thing would be to talk to her, tell her that you can't be her friend anymore because it's too emotionally draining for you. Then move on. Like I think just ghosting her would be shitty, but any sane person would understand if an ex doesn't want to be around them anymore.

This is just my personal opinion, but I always think to myself there's a reason why you broke up.

How can I make my brain stop relating certain things to certain people in my past?

An example that comes to mind is the vocaloid song Rolling Girl. I still pretty much like that song and it was cool to listen to it when I was middleschool, but at the time I had these obnoxious mentally unwell ex friends who were BPDchans and thought the song was "literally them", and now I keep thinking about this whenever I listen to this song, even if I myself feel like this song spoke a bit to my teen self

I struggled with this and found that doing two things helped:

1. Letting go of the past, accepting that the song (for example) was just a song and I could associate it with anything I wanted or nothing at all. Basically taking ownership and treating the thing as just a thing, because that’s all it is.

2. Learn to associate it with different things. Brainwash yourself if necessary - listen to the song while playing a game or driving to work. Train your brain to firstly associate it with something else, and eventually those old friends won’t be the first thing to come to mind.

I barely drink anything in a day and if it was up to me, I could survive on a liter a day. Which is what I do most of the time, but that's obviously not good for you. All these standard tips like "Keep a bottle close to you", "Set yourself reminders", "Set a goal of eight glasses a day" don't help at all. So instead, I just chug half a liter (or a full one, if I can stomach to do so) every hour until I'm at two to three liters a day. Is this dangerous in any way? Apart from feeling slugish for the next five to ten minutes. I remember reading some stuff like "You flood your cells that way which isn't good for you" but I have no idea if this isn't just bull….

A healthy body can process just under 1l of water on hour so you should be okay as long as you're peeing.

The cell flooding isn't because you've drank a lot of water and they're swimming in it, it happens when all the water dilutes the good stuff in your body and there's an electrolyte imbalance. Your cells start shifting the electrolytes back and forth to balance it out, making them swell up and cause problems. You should make sure to eat full meals regularly to keep your electrolytes up and chill out with the water if you get any headaches or abdominal pains.

Your body can only process it so quickly. If you're not doing fuckall during the day, you probably don't even need a liter of water. You're also supposed to drink it over the course of the day, not all at once. Picrel is info on water intoxication and a link for tism

Ok so I know this is the Zoomer 2000 Rev. Edition question, but seriously, what did people do before the internet? I'm fed up with the internet and hate it here and am only here out of habit, the only places I find tolerable are lolcow and pixiv at this point, so I want to stop it and go offline, preferably permanently. But what do I do? This is what I grew up and lived with for the past 14 years. I guess I could read, and while I have a long attention span, it isn't 16 hours long. I've been usually going out for hour long walks every other day or so for the past three or four years but there's another lock down announced so that's out of the window, too. Watching shows and playing games I might do too, but again, I don't have enough attention to do that the entire day, for this stuff even less than for books. I guess I could learn. I was horrible at maths and didn't get anything after eight grade, so I could start with that. But then again, the internet is the best place to get information…..

Khan Academy is actually great!

I also listen to art history podcasts while I'm doing chores or driving. The History of the World in 1000 Objects is an excellent one to start with if you like world history and comes in book form too. My favorite is Art Detectives with Janina Ramirez that is more medieval but covers modern art too. There are some podcasts on the MoMA site too that are good but kinda normie.

Libgen has all the basic textbooks, Art History by Stokstad is the one I started with.
I suggest doing a basic survey of art and then if you find an object/artist particularly interesting you can dive deeper with academic journals.

Before the internet: listen to radio, read books and magazines, consoles, talk on the phone for HOURS with friends, watch tv, hangout at eachothers house or on a park or wtv, skating and biking. Afternoons in the public library for nerds (like me), window shopping, volunteer work.

The internet just focused all these activities in one place (except the physical part of course). It's sad, but computers and internet are a bit essential for everyday life. Install leechblock on everything that you feel is not essential and use internet only as an aid for real life shit (like job and education).

The internet now is basically the equivalent of the TV back then, where we'd be bombarded with ads but there was still a variety of things to watch, a bunch of series, movies, documentaries, the news, shows about music, cartoons, anime, reality TV, etc. There's been a switch over time where pirating things online wasn't really illegal yet everywhere but everything was replaced by reality TV shows and contests little by little, so all these things became readily available online over time, legally and illegally. If you're into fandoms, instead of having to rely on fan communities online to see what was being released when it came to movies, video games, books, etc. you'd have to rely more on magazines or friends.

As for the equivalent to forums and social media, you were expected to socialize irl, with classmates, coworkers, your neighbors, your family and family friends, etc. Now it's easier to pick and choose who you want to talk to. As a kid I had a hard time socializing with kids and teens my age for several reasons out of my control like being too poor to hang out with my rich classmates where they wanted to or my parents were very controlling so I made friends online on forums and lj, and then tumblr, I spent a lot of time at home online, unlike my classmates. It was more common than now to let older kids do what they wanted in the late 90s and early 2000s with their friends even though not everyone could afford a cellphone. Now people have smartphones and better data plans, so now the average people my age (not sure I can call them normies) are shocked that I don't use social media all that much. As soon as social media became more mainstream there was some kind of reversal.

>Watching shows and playing games I might do too, but again, I don't have enough attention to do that the entire day, for this stuff even less than for books.

I remember that me and my friends who liked watching TV shows and reading books did this less and less often and spent more time online out of habit. I guess when you can do all that stuff online and sometimes for free it's just more convenient. But now that this is more readily available it's actually something I do way less than before.

I don't think it's as entirely simple as that. Scientific study has proven social media has hollowed out people's enjoyment of everything, like picrel.
But on the other hand you can argue that similarly to what >>693706 said TV really dominated a lot of lives from the 80s-90s, and then the average people from generations before that probably had much stricter parameters to live their lives in, harder working conditions, less digital freedom etc. We need to strike a balance.

Precisely. I got sick and tired of making up relationships just to appear normal and ultimately, I wanted to be honest with the people that I'm somewhat close to so when the topic of going out and dating inevitably comes up, I tell them the truth but everyone thinks it's because of variety of reasons. If I'm happy on my own then why is it an issue?
Yet I still get asked to give it a try with someone and it's annoying because it leads to extremely awkward situations.

Yes, that's probably it but they do it so aggressively and viciously.

What have you tried so far? Most cats actually like litter boxes and need very little training.

If she's actually been feral (no human contact ever) for several years, you could start to gradually get her used to coming inside while still letting her out to do her business. In all my catlady years, I've only had one feral cat adjust to indoor living that she never wanted to go outside again, but I'd say it's somewhat rare and depends on the cat's personality. Older cats that have been fixed are more likely to give up the great outdoors.

When you first start to let her inside, you can put her in the litter box right away. She will likely motion to go outside when she needs to go, but you can try to put her back in the litter box again and see if she takes. She may go on the floor a couple of times at first, but it's unlikely to continue.

I did. I've had a pregnant fetish ever since childhood though (I'm half seriously considering children's cartoons to just be for imprinting weird fetishes into kids at this point). As long as you don't start popping children yearly for a fetish, I think it's harmless.

I'm 25 and I've had this weird lump near my nipple since I was 13. When I went to the doctor, the doctor told me that I shouldn't worry and that it will fade, and gave me meds for the milk producing hormone in my brain because I was producing milk at 13 years of age. Then I went again to another doctor when I was 19, she told me to put warm rags on it and hope for the best, and put me on the pill for my lack of menstruation. Then I went to a doctor again like a year ago, I think? and he told me that they didn't do that kinda job, and to just squeeze it myself and to wait for it to pop. That lump is near my nipple, it actually looks like a second nipple. I have cut it multiple times, and a white milky substance (it doesn't look like puss, and it tastes like cream) always comes out.


What should I do? Just continue cutting it?

Its an awkward situation.
Should i buy a gift for my husbands brother?

To summarize:
My husbands parents separated long time ago, his father left for other woman and made a child with her (he didnt leave a lot of details but by timeline and everything its so obvious that he cheated on his mother and left for that woman). Of course I always see and understand the way he feels about it even through the years (father on the other hand dgaf and always invites him and his other sibling like its nbd), he still feels betrayed by it and whatnot. The kid they have is their only child and this youngster literally gets _everything_ in the world like most of the typical single kids (eg everytime theres a new VR coming out, they are buying it for him ASAP. He has 3 ones, including the one from Valve as soon as they started selling it. On top of that he has a lot of other expensive shit in his room that screams "rich gamer dream".).
Now since I started living in his country, I am the one who is always in charge for presents. I am really good at it because I always notice details and i love the joy of people when they love the gift. And of course, this Christmas I am fully in charge of gifting gifts for his big family.

I have bought the gifts for everyone, that including his Father and father's wife (i know they will give me a present too and his wife really likes me), however I havent gotten a gift for his young brother yet. I do know what to get, but whenever we talk about it, my husband always seems to be really "off" with the idea of gifting him a gift in general (he never done that through Christmas years mainly because the kid also doesnt care if he is going to get a gift or not - again, he always gets everything from parents). However in this situation I will feel extremely awkward over not gifting him a gift (if we don't), but at the same time it is true that he doesnt care nor really need gifts from anyone because of his rich parents. But imagine: gifting gifts to parents but not to a kid…?

I am not too sure what to do. My salary has not been doing well lately anyway, so not gifting would be good for finances but I know myself too well that I will end up wanting to punch myself when Christmas comes.
I thought of gifting a game off his wishlist on steam to him, but all of the games on wishlist he has cost 35$+ which is even more than a sweater that I want to buy for myself.

Anons, I am stupid and idk what to do. I will obviously talk about it more to husband, but the situation feels like a stupid circlejerk to me.

I’ve been trying to get her happy with human contact her whole life but it’s only been in the past few years that she’s started to soften up. She’ll come inside to eat wet food, and often after that she’ll walk over to me on the nearby couch and let me pet her for a bit before she wants to go back out. Problem is this is at my parents house and if I want a litter box it has to be in my bedroom- on a different floor on the other side of the house. If I take her up there and shut the door she never likes it and just waits for me to let her out.

For example, the other day after eating I took her up there, shut the door behind me, and set her in the litter box. She hopped out immediately and went to the door like usual. I pulled her away from the door and gave her pets to distract her and hopefully make her a bit happier being in there. Then she walked back to the door and peed on the carpet.

Maybe it would be helpful to put the box outside and see if she starts using it out there first? She’s an unusually stupid cat for many reasons, we always joke that she’s special needs and she probably is.

My BF asked how was my day, and it sucked so I started venting. He stopped me mid-sentence and told me that he feels like he's wasting time and asked me not to vent if I don't want to discuss if I should be upset at all, because he doesn't see anything to be upset about.

All I ask is, what the fuck? Isn't relationship supposed to be a safe place where you can vent? He started critiquing me all of a sudden, and on the top of having a bad day I'm even more upset. Maybe I'm wrong? It's a genuine question

Reasons not to gift:
1. Your husband doesn't want to.
2. The kid doesn't want nor need it.
3. You're not doing well financially.

Reasons to gift:
1. You'd feel awkward.

From an outside perspective, this seems really simple. The reason to gift is already kind of a bad one, especially when you have so many reasons to not gift him and ESPECIALLY when you're doing bad financially.

Do yourself a favor and just don't gift him. You're clearly the only one who'd feel bad about it. And if you're going to feel bad either way (Not gifting him something and feel awkward or gifting him something and feel bad about your finances and spending more on yourself than him) you might aswell choose the one that's best for your wallet.

If it went like how you wrote down here then no, I don't think you're in the wrong. You're supposed to handle a certain amount of venting from your partner in a relationship obviously. If he had a long day at work or something he could've nicely said you could have a more in-depth conversation a bit later I guess but from what you say it just sounds like he's being a dick. He was the one who asked you how your day was anyway and then he just turns around on that and belittles your experiences in the process? Nah, he's weak or has something going on with himself and is handling it poorly. You should try to discuss this with him in a healthy conversation, maybe he will see his mistake. If he gets overly defensive then yikes.

I tare my scale with the rice cooker bowl, add in 180g of my rice and scrub it in lukewarm water with my knuckles and fingertips til the water rinses clear. It's easier if you just add a cup or so of water at a time and carefully dump after each time. I only fill it with water to the 1C mark in my rice cooker, sometimes adding less to put in other things. Sometimes I leave it with just a little salt or a tiny splash of vinegar. Or I add in chicken stock powder, spring onions, cracked pepper, a splash of soy and a splash of sake. I'm probably making actual Asians cry with this, but it's delicious.

It takes lots of resolve to un-internalize stuff, like, it took me 3 years to get some will to sing again while doing random stuff because I always had people telling me that I suck at it. Then again, I still can’t even pretend I can write stories yet no matter how much encouragement I get from anyone.
I think being alone and a bit secretive of what you do, helps a lot with such things, when you’re on your own, since there are no eyes peering around, you can do whatever you want without any sort of pressure or fear of failure.

Prepping things in advance and keeping a routine helps me. I wake up early to give myself plenty of time to dilly dally about while doing my morning routine. Preparing and packing everything (save for your lunch if it needs to be refrigerated) the night before definitely helps, I have fish brain in the morning and sometimes forget parts of my own routine. I run a through a mental list of things just before I head out the door like "lunchbox, lunch, keys, cellphone, bookbag, mask, etc." but it might help to write out a list at first and keep it by the door to look over before running out before moving onto a mental one (or maybe never moving onto a mental one! lord knows I'll forget my lunch sometimes anyway).

My grandma just died some days ago.

Thinking about my grandma though, she was always an abusive woman towards my mom. And she had a lot of traits of a narcissitic mom, and I'm sure to hell and back that she had NPD.
Thinking about my brother too, he has been abusive towards me and fits the NPD diagnosis pretty well. My dad too, makes sense he was so manipulative.

So when I think of myself I am pretty afraid of being narcissistic myself. I think I've had traits, but whenever I get tests done by professionals or online, I always come out negative. I don't have NPD. But my traits are
-Low self esteem
-Sometimes I feel like I'm a bit better than other people, but not in a grandiose way. I just think other people can be assholes or very dumb.
-I think I'm gifted, even when I don't really do much because of depression. This keeps me alive, because I know I can pick up drawing again and be happy. But it's not like I rub it on people's faces or think other people can't be more gifted than me

All said I think that some narcissistic rage does comes out whenever I'm in a relationship. I don't even want to talk about it because I've only had one serious relationship and I feel like both of us fucked it up, but the fact that I was very angry just fucks me up even futher. I just feel so disgusted at myself.
And let's just say with my subsequent crush immediately after ending this turbulent relationship, I love bombed the hell out of them, even when I didn't intend to. I learnt what lovebombing was after and stopped myself.

Also fried rice should be cooked on very high heat (the highest you can get) and oil at every step. So oil, veggies, oil, rice, oil, eggs, etc. When you add rice, add lots of soy sauce, sesame oil for extra aroma, other thick brown sauce (like oyster, Worcestershire, or "stir fry" sauce).

I used to be the same. For the stuff that made me feel really bad (like checking an old friend’s sm) I cut that out cold turkey. I realised there was a negative cycle going on, and checking only ever made me angry/sad. It took a long time to get to that point, but since then I’ve been stubborn about it. If you’re seeing immediate negative effects, that should be enough motivation to stop it.

Other stuff, I think it’s normal to hate some things, just limit how much you dwell on it? Like don’t spend hours on lc, schedule time in advance and limit your time. To distract yourself of the urge find something positive to do instead, something that catches your interest as much as the negative thing.

As I said it’s not unhealthy in itself to hate things, but if it’s negatively affecting your life then it’s time to take a step back.

If someone takes or uses something very specific to one or several related cultures and pretend they came up with it. Or they do it wrong in a way that's so inaccurate it's laughable.

How do I counter argue the idea that sex workers who hate their job are exactly like office workers, aside from the fact that sex workers are payed significantly less, and experience higher rates of PTSD and without devolving to socialist talking points? Also, what are some good books for a radfem view of sex work?

The thing that spoke to me was that sex workers literally sell their bodies. An office worker sells his knowledge and time, types everything in the computer and works with that. A construction worker works with his body, too, but what he sells again, are his skills and the end product, not literally himself. Not sure if I explained that understandably lmao
Can't help on the book question one and would be interested myself.

Sometimes I become hyper aware of my body and feel temporarily kinda freaked out and weird/disgusted sometimes even by the concept of having a body for a few seconds and then it just goes away again. It's usually triggered by something like looking up close at skin imperfections, hearing stomach noises, feeling a joint crack, taking a dump even lol. Just something that temporarily makes me more aware of my body without distraction. Has anyone else experienced something similar? I'm thinking it's likely related to anxiety or depersonalization but no idea. I might just be weird.

Well it's basically derived from the "just another job" argument, which can be attacked in itself and then its derivatives don't need to be argued. Sex work is obviously not "just a job like others" when it has such specific risks, legislation problems, ruin and implications on human sexuality. Saying that it only has negative consequences on one's psyche or future job opportunities because of its legality also seems bullshit because then it wouldn't affect people that leave this job in more egalitarian (nordic model) countries.

Or you could also ask them, if they were OK with the government office suggesting their daughters/sisters/mother a brothel in case of unemployment and saying they're not serious enough about looking for a job when they refuse?

I eat very little because I have a lot nausea due to health problems and I have never really tried to lose weight so I have no reference point but figured it's okay to lose some weight. So it is kinda fast? I'm around 170cm 64kg rn so kinda chubby before

Where to find socks like this irl? Preferably without the animal ears but I love how they're skinny at the top but baggy at the bottom, is there a name for this style?

No. 694845

>>694837
Never straighten wet hair unless you have a flat iron designed specifically for that, it could electrocute you, not to mention fry your hair. And yes you would need to straighten it again when dry, but you may find yourself needing to actually use the straightener less and less if your hair begins to 'train' and flatten naturally (although this doesn't happen with everyone)

You don't have to straighten it again if you protect your hair. I've covered my hair with grocery store bags in desperate times, but putting on a plastic shower cap, like the ones you get in hair dye kits, and then covering that cap with a bonnet works fine. You could even use a hair wrap/scarf instead of a plastic cap, but you'll need atleast two layers to protect your hair.

To anons that are moms, when did you come back to your former interests and hobbies after getting your first kid?
I had this great connection with a friend of mine. We met at work and we instantly became best friends. It was hard to find another woman who shared common interests with me and she had this amazing creative energy so it was always a joy to talk with her on any subject. Three years ago she got pregnant, decided to stay at home and focus on raising her son, and everything's changed. When we do meet she's like an entirely different person. She's still kind and gentle but in terms of interests and plans like small side projects and so on, she forgot all about them. I get that having a newborn is something big and naturally it takes time to adapt but to me it's like I'm talking to an entirely different person. It's like she dropped everything outside of her new family life. I fear I lost a friend. I'm glad she's happy but I don't know her anymore.

If it's that hard to find points to defend an argument, that's a sign that you should probably reevaluate your stance. Also, "sex work" is too nebulous. If by sex work you mean tiddy streaming on the weekends, no that's not like an office job, or any "job" really; it's a hobby you make money off of. If you mean actual prostitution, that's literally just self-destructive behavior, having no other options for income, or both.
