Maybe it's regional? The majority of libfems or just generally out of touch normies I've met irl are uncritically into her.

>>308902
Hmm, most libfems I've seen love to idolize Beyonce or Nicki Minaj, and they usually label TS as "basic" among other BS that they usually parrot, like taking racism out of their asses etc. I don't think TS is an example of feminism but who among us are, right?

>>308914
>Beyonce
>Nicki Minaj
>feminism

wow

>>308916
I forgot to mention that they also think Pedro Pascal is hot and that having casual sex is empowering (yes, it only gets worse)

Why…

>>261252
Actually you don't

>>261252
Wrong, you need raised prolactin levels to produce milk and that can happen for many reasons, not just childbirth

>>261142
It's not easy

Neither optimism or pessismism work. What people need is realism. However, even pessimism is still closer to that than optimism when you look at how rapidly unfuckable the problems in the world are getting. Living in optimism at this point would be an even higher delusion reserved only for those who don't have to witness these problems, like out of touch rich people. Pessimism can at least point shit out for people rather than make things up. One of my favorite comedians, George Carlin, was one cynical bastard but it also made his material extremely socially critical. Idealists only give rise to dictators. Cynicists just want to see some balance.

What is really the difference between cynicism and pessimism? They can both close you off to seeing alternatives. Cynicism is a looping concious habit a few houses down from 'survival/fear mode' in the exact same way pessimism is.

Usually evertime i talked to a self declared realist, it was usually a diehard capitalist moid, who eventually ratted himself out, defending the natural order of screwing everything and everyone over for the sake of his bottom line. They never tell you this to your face they always pretend to feed you this "social commentary" that ends up being some ruthless moid philosophy, for moids, by moids, "take heart, be comforted by the fact everything will burn down."

But in the end you can always tell they were total sadists sometimes and they authored the chaos from the start.

Realism can be good for certain periods of life though, i CAN agree with that. But "realists" can also shield themselves from risk too much. Life requires healthy amounts of risk and positive expectations, from previous success, which motivate you to take on more, and not get mired in "sunken details"


To be perfectly honest realists can just as easily get everyone sucked into a dead end holes with them, if they lead with a certain aversion to good expectations, in bad faith, or flat out 'survivalist mode' expectations. Which my god who doesn't fqll into that dead wnd expectation nowadays? Someone who doesn't is exceedingly rare and valuable.

..that 'survivalist' quality of life fucking sucks though. Holy f its awful. Its always living for scraps, because you dont know how to build calculated momentum around something you already know how to do, or something you've worked on for ages. It's not hard to reach momentum if you build something long enough, it's just inevitable.

And not knowing how to get in someone's brain, while they're building something doesnt mean you understand that activities worth lmao. A lot of people get caught up in themselves, their "realism". They will get stuck in survival/fear mode at having to try something alien, witness someone do something that rattles them. You see outsider perpective cynicism/ realism far more often nowadays. America has really gone south in that respect

I’m really enjoying the high quality posts that have started this thread off strong

time flies by so fast, thread is already 3 years old. not necessarily 'flies by' in the sense of total bliss that makes me forget time even exist. every few months a ray of sunshine manages to poke through the constant terror of the dense artificial clouds.

could be worse. no progress would be worse then ridiculously little progress. optimism is to appreciate the few remaining drops of water while wishing for the rain.

rejection of the ridiculously little progress would leave no room to build on the ridiculously little progress but with appreciation it might advance to be 'very little progress'.

a day is such a small amount of time and simultaneously after so many years i still don't feel competent in my time management skills to fill it wisely. but i'm getting there as slowly as the snail.

I'm using Pinterest references at the moment, I found a lot of supporting sketches, I was surprised to find so many free things online. I'll look on YouTube, but I'm wondering if I should buy an online course. I think there must be more people who draw here at CC, I hope they speak out

>>297343
pintrest is one of the only social medias that dont make me really depressed

I never paid much attention to Pinterest, I started an account there and I'm loving it, it must be because no one says anything there, kek. It is excellent for finding basic to advanced drawing references.

Using cc

>What are they doing?
Nothing. It's just kids. Our generation had these bad boys for example.

>>258432
>What are they doing with the next generation?!…
Retarded humor has been a staple of the internet for as long as it has been a thing. When I was a kid it was the duck walking up to the lemonade stand and now it's this…

To err is human; to forgive, divine.

Yeah well no-one comes to Australia for the culture, which is just a second rate derivative of British culture, it's mainly for economic reasons or for education if neither then for nature like beaches and shit. There is no such thing as an 'Australiaboo' unless they're weird nationalists

>>307112
I prefer Brisbane to Sydney and Melbourne but the culture is lacking if you don't have a clique.

>AUKUS is a disaster for Australia
It means that any conflict with China involves us being able to perform assisted, undetectable retaliatory strikes, making any step toward conflict less desirable for China. The US wants to scrap the deal because they want to build their own ships now and don't want to spend the time and money to invest in expanding their shipbuilding.

>Albanese’s immigrant voters
Labor is the only elected party that attempted to restrict immigration. Liberals and Greens united to vote against it.

>>308753
except why would China want to attack Australia of all places?

>>308758
To enforce whatever maritime borders they want. They've been doing it for the past 20 years and are only speeding up in their progress because no one can call them on it. Without the ability to perform retaliatory strikes, the calculus of escalating to an armed conflict of any scale is a simple one; they can hit us, and we can't do anything about it. Once we have that ability, then any escalation has to be worth having their strategic assets destroyed. The CCP would gladly trade the lives of a few sailors caught in the initial volley before we're missile spammed into oblivion for the $3.6 billion our fishing industry is worth each year. They probably wouldn't make the same decision if doing so would guarantee the loss of their sub pens, shipyards and island airbases.

It's a stupid hat.

Next time, before you do something stupid like this, just think to yourself: "What would Andrea Dworkin do?".

tell him to stop watching porn
