what kind of engineer? i work in [stressful career] and i feel like ill get burnt out well before my working years are over. id consider going back to school for a job that doesn't involve constant human interaction, but for debt reasons i cant until im 40. software engineering is probably totally unrealistic given how bad the job market is for far more competitive people. the other kinds of engineering though sound more achievable. i dont love math, but i could enjoy anything where i make the same amount of money as i do currently and dont have to deal with what i deal with now eg being called a bitch, told to kms, threatened with legal action, sexually inappropriate behavior, etc etc

im a doctor, its fine.

You guys have jobs?

electrical engineer. obviously math is important in engineering school. once you get out of school, it is important as a foundation to know what your programs are doing mathematically, but I rarely have to hand calculate anything.

as far as abuse, I work with a lot of blue collar types and good ol boys. I guess they know not to harass the couple of women that visit their plant, since that has never happened to me. I'm also not traditionally pretty, so maybe that's helps

I'm also in healthcare though not a doctor. Generally I feel like in this field not being super attractive can be seen as a sign of competence at least by older coworkers (which is still wrong, but works for me)

Ive been caught complaining about my friends online. It was like my second time running a dnd game, and they would either murder hobo or want to build a potato farm because they complained that the dungeon was too challenging. I asked for advice on reddit and though i didn't name names one of them saw it about a hour after i posted.
I was ousted as a dm, basically everyone said they didn't want to play with me as a dm ever again.
I was guilted into feeling bad and buying the group food, even though I don't think i did anything wrong.

Yep, some shallow bitch who posts on lolcow and is lowkey a cow herself.

Not me but some psychopathic nona has been obsessed with my friend for years and spams her on LC. She’s desperate to turn my friend into a cow despite herself being 3 times the cow.
But it makes me anxious. My friend is the kindest person I’ve ever met. How did she get such an obsessive alogger? I’m scared it will happen to me too.

My selfie was used as a reaction image to indicate disgust/contempt. Which is to say my face appears in a thread with furry pornography, directly responding to it.

someone vendettaposted an old pic of me on lc

this reminds me of this satire YouTube video about this guy slaughtering his family over family guy.

For me, it is great ape true crime.

lul agree, doing the captains over and over again is actually starting to get tiring and it seems to expire too fast. I appreciate how on CC we can just post without having to jump through hoops

and all the fetish spam on some of the boards is getting on my nerves. But I've been lurking /mlp/ kinda since bronytards seem autistic and unchanging which is nice doe

captchas*
excuse my dyslexia

Blame indians.
If it weren't for them we wouldn't even need capchas

>>333629
If you feel like blaming anyone for the posting timers you can blame me after I took part in that one raid on /his/ or /s4s/ 4 years ago. They added those right after kek.
I am not Indian however.

Well, yeah?

Americans scream that you cannot possibly have a society without high taxes, but why could the USA have a civilization and low taxes in 1920?

Americans say that you cannot have morals without tyranny, but why could the US have morality and freedom in 1950?

When you grow up where I grew up, you learn to defend yourself. It's scary to admit, but yes, I've had to ward off any would be sexual assaulters and it's in the shaky aftermath of times like those where I appreciate all the time and effort I've put into my self-defense preparations.

You see, I have this anti-sodomy device that I "wear" at all times, especially in the city. It's a telescoping steel cylinder with a silicone "faux-sphincter", and an inviting one at that. The idea is simple. When I'm accosted by a particularly ravenous sort, I pre-emptively pull down my trousers (or simply unzip the butt flap as is the case on Saturday nights) and present myself to them. This is to "cut to the chase", so to speak, and avoid any punches or cross chops to my face. In the dim light of the city night, that "faux-sphincter" looks just like a real one, and an inviting one at that.

Here's where my training pays off. There's a brief moment of discomfort as the sexual assaulter, or I guess you can call them a rapist, ram jams their beefy beef into my anti-sodomy device. The telescoping steel cylinder is driven back, forcefully, acting as a firing pin, until it collides with an explosive charge very much like a shotgun shell. That silicone "faux-sphincter" becomes the projectile, and with the amount of zesto peppo I pack in my shotgun ass, that rapist's dick is blown clean off, often resulting in enough blood loss to kill them as a dick wound like that is almost always impossible for even skilled surgeons to close up properly (I've seen them try).

The only penetration I truly suffer is that of a hot, smoking gun barrel, and I rather like that feeling if that's not too deviant to admit.

Me when my steak is too buttery and juicy

have you considered making a youtube channel? ive been kinda lonely and almost never get a reply on my comments, but thought maybe making a channel would be a good way to engage with others or at least get replies. you might be in the same boat.

You need actual friends(female) and hobbies

>>330238
Yeah that's because you're not actually unplugging. Unplugging is shutting down your laptop, leaving your phone at home (or even better, getting a dumb phone) and going outisde. Blocking random sites isn't "unplugging".

The answer to everyone's problems in this thread is literally just to get IRL friends and start doing IRL things.

>>332305
Online friend is an oxymoron. It's like having a long distance relationship.

I have some ideas to reduce doomscrolling
- When you notice you're spending more than 2 hours on your phone consecutively, take an immediate break and go walking around the block
- Use a computer/laptop to browse the net instead of the phone when possible
- Get into exercising a little bit more twice a week, even 20 minutes twice a week is good

discover of the year.
This way of thinking is also how troons think they identify as women
>being a woman is when feminine or bimbo
it's the idealization of an abstract idea

I stayed up till 8 am today rereading the same manga. What is wrong with me? It's been two weeks I need to stop getting obssesed over it so much. I'll probably dig the net to see if I can find some more doujins or even buy one from second hand japanese sites. Anyway the interesting thing is I found similar themes connected to each other in different artworks/mediums which is a good thing I guess.

Real bodies have life. You can hold them in your arms and interact with them.

>>329496
Real bodies have pee and poo too.
