It's only cringe if it's not reciprocated, in which case, even unstated acts of romance can be very cringe.

Ew. I remember when a few hideous scrote "friends" did this to me. It made things so uncomfortable. The answer is obviously no.
That's why women shouldn't be friends with men. They pull this shit pretending to be our friends to get in our pants. Be work or school buddies and that's it.
>>317574
Also this. Add "Well he loves you SO MUCH! Just give him a chance!" and its once again trying to manipulate women into sex.

>>320184
women and men just were not made for each other

this is such essentialist garbage and ironically pseudopatriarchal
yes of course porn is poisonous objectification but we can't just go around assuming that women aren't capable of enjoying sex with a man and desiring him for the emotional connection and mutual care they provide each other
If you're lesbian that's awesome but you don't have to drag the rest of us down with these types of narratives that sometimes sound just like red-pill chuds and could even be used to justify their harmful views as if "that is just how men are"

Every fujo I met was an insane moralfag

By your logic we should all stop looking like women so men will stop fetishizing us

Just admit it there is no point in men not looking equally attractive, and its the reason the birthrate is plummeting everywhere.

Don't like us sexualizing moids? How do you explain yourselves then? You're up to your eyeballs in porn. Should we not create our own ocean of slash and BL?

>>24691
Yes OP welcome to CC <3

This is why I think the internet needs to be more regulated. It is a cesspool that kids should not have access to, or should he heavily filtered. Kids get hooked on porn at early ages too. Boys are more susceptible and since they don’t learn how to manage their feelings and emotions they become addicts and try to impose their fantasies on their RL partners

>>331965
>i had shit upbringing and got addicted to porn as a child, that means others must lose their freedom
If you hate internet freedom so much, what are you even doing on imageboards?

This is so dumb.

Yes there's sex traffickers and groomers but we live in a time where people can do this of their own free will while being safe and while receiving the full profits for it. And many choose to.

Sex traffickers and groomers are still going to exist if you ban porn. What's not going to exist is the outlets for models and artists to make income off their work.

i saw someone describe schizos as having deep plunges of information that they can't pull their brains out of fast enough, almost like cliffs that their consciousness dives into & gets caught. whereas normal people have plunges that they don't get stuck inside of. i think it was shown to me in a kind of graph demonstration, and i don't know if it was even close to an accurate elucidation, but interesting nonetheless, and this made me think of that. overvaluing signals against their will. must be torture

I have an excel spreadsheet full of hundreds of words I read that I didn't know or that I think sound nice. Recent additions:

I find it's easier to remember if you think about their etymology. E.g. undulate has "und—" as the root, which means wave iirc. It's related to words like inundate and, more obviously, undulant. Not related to ululate at all, but looks similar.

Riverine and forestine, both adjectives for river and forest respectively incase it wasn't obvious

One thing worse than living in a police state is finding out that no one cares.

Overpriced and not worth it unless youre going into some specific field that needs it. I dropped out 3semesters in and started a business with my dad

>>318681
Can I ask what type of business? Cause it's the same story with uni here as well.

Expensive, but the loans aren't predatory. The learning and effort curve are pretty steep, so first year is a dawdle, second year is difficult, and you feel totally unprepared for third year. Thankfully it levels out for fourth and Masters.

Having student organisations is nice for some, but they're focused around interests as they relate to degrees, so I feel like they're not social for anyone outside that specific field. Plenty of STEM degrees just don't have any reason to have a club presence, so you get groups like comp-sci who are a collection of all sorts of nerds, but they tend to naturally exclude anyone who isn't highly tech-literate. Most after-class socialising being at the campus pub is nice and casual, but it makes day-drinking appear normal, and encourages people who might not drink to start.

There's way too much support for students struggling academically, but nothing for those who struggle socially; a huge barrier for entry to the really helpful stuff. Private chats where people post everything from rumours and tips about the course, all the way to answers and guidance on assignments, are locked behind being in the cool-kid's club. You can't get an invite unless you know the right people, and unless you're willing to put yourself out there, are able to make friends with the fun attractive people who cheat, become willing to day-drink and go to clubs etc. you'll never get in. The best you can do is be friendly with someone in the know who might share with you some important details every so often.

It's quirky and fun and not that serious!

I had professors saying things like "it's useless for women to get a degree, it will go to waste" out loud and having a dismissive attitude towards female students, and no, nobody cared
now I remember this every time I witness moids crying about being oppressed

people cling to those they find similar or align with their values

Smart people are the opposite of a hivemind, so you'll just have put in the extra effort to know your gift recipient close enough as an individual to really know what to get them.
Also consider alternatives to giving gifts, like spending quality time together, offering compliments and encouragement, acts of service to ease their burdens or showing affection through physical activities like holding hands.

>>325699
I'll find a smart person and gift them 2 hugs, 1 pet mouse, 3 geraniums (2 white, one red), a ticket to Norway, horse riding lessons, an eel, 5 bars of dark chocolate, a drawing tablet, 10 notebooks, 10 juicy no-smudge pens, a gentle tap on the ass, an hour's worth of back scratches, and an invite to tour the hivemind

I realised i went straight for physical things, regardless of the last suggestion, but i can't let go of the eel gift. which is clearly the only one i can sacrifice

So, for next year
I will get a smart person
A hug

>>325682
Money lol but aside from that I've always wanted a telescope. Never got around to setting one up

I went to the gym to work on my glutes and legs, and now I'm going to prepare fish and salad for my dinner. I hope the other grandmothers are lifting some weights too.

Been enjoying matcha, walking, and playing guitar lately

I need meds to keep my bipolar brain from melting so I do need to see a dr to prescribe them

Plus all them somatic traumas from years of abuse, you don't just stop being reactive from being reinforced by a bot! Sorry sum of us are fucked up

>>320365
Exactly
>>320405
Okay, but most people that go to therapy don't get meds. In fact, a therapist can't prescribe meds, they would have to refer to a psychiatrist, so ChatGPT has almost the same level of ability

Does anyone have good experinces using AI for therapy?

I got to therapy and it's cool but expensive and I dont talk about nearly half the stuff I want to because all the other things take up all the time and there are other times when something i say just sounds weird but mostly one specific thing over shadows everything

>>318828
Right. My sentiments exactly. But psychiatrists don't deal with that, their business is drugging you with pills.

I dont trust psychiatrists/therapists at all. Unless someone has schizophrenia or something I feel therapy is largely unnecessary and self indulgent

I have been going for a year but I think I need a break. It feels like another task now and I feel like I say things to get kudos and praise even if it’s not true. I hate being a people pleaser.
