Nta. Fiction can serve multiple purposes. People absolutely do use characters as role models, and this is why having fiction/games/films about strong, smart women is very important (see the Scully effect). But oftentimes characters are only there for entertainment. I agree with both.

>>304009
If you're talking about Marathon, to my understanding the current interpretation of the game to be released has effectively nothing in common with the previous entries. Not even a campaign to pretend as such. Any then prominent deviation will be attacked as a pattern is established. I haven't been following the news around it ever since I learned there will be no main story, and so if there's more drama around it I couldn't say.

>>305373
It just skirts a bit too close to the ‘video games cause violence’ school of thought for my taste. I reject the mentality outright.
While true that someone could develop healthy interests from a fictional character, I don’t think social engineering should be the focus of entertainment.

>>305377
"How it should be" and "how it is" are very different things. Entertainment has been used for social engineering since time immemorial.

>>304009
It's a conflation of "Game is bad" with "female leads". Unfortunately, a lot of devs put female main characters in games without making them either good gameplay-wise of story-wise, and use it as a shield for criticism. The same problem with movies.
Women leads are generally the face of those writers/devs so they associate subconciously girl lead = shit

Almost every Latin-American nation has a very neat friendly vibe to them. Probably my favorite part of the world.

What is alpha?

>>307062
I'm the Alpha I'm the Omega and everything in between

It only looks cute if you have the right facial structure for it (i.e tiny nose). For someone like me who has a large nose, it honestly just exaggerates the harsh lines in our face more. That, and it causes your face to look more shiny than usual, which always looks a little weird. Plus, despite it being idealized online, it generally makes you look like a tired poor person in practice.

This
I also have this asymmetry where my eyes are differently-sized and skin under one eye is thinner than the other one so eyebags always look bigger on one eye and it just puts more spotlight one the asymmetry

>>307039
Like I tried to make the lighting look flattering but it still looks ass

>>307039
>>307041
You look pretty nona, you're overthinking "one under eye skin is thinner". My eyes on the other hand, are actually fucked up lmao. Like an O-

>>307041
your eyes aren't even really that dark
some people have really horrible disgusting dark/textured eyebags, but i think yours look nice

>>306639
>you can play my ribs like a xylophone
pls

no legit i wish i could plug myself into a wall and it would just charge me instead of having to eat its SUCH a hassle

>>306639
Your metabolism isn't fucked because you have a small appetite.

Seriously, who came up with the idea that humans have to eat three square meals a day. what a waste of time, i hope humanity invents an ultimate nutritional replacement shake soon.

>>306639
The stomach is flexible, it accomodates to your food intake. Eating less makes it smaller, eating more makes it bigger. Gradually try to increase your intake even a bit up until that "uncomfortably full/bloated" feeling, maybe 125% full so to speak.

Only white people suffer from this problem. Use a handheld bidet. It costs $35 on Amazon. It's easy to install, even for a woman, if u can't do it ask one of your beta male simps or male relatives to do it for you. I'm from India and everyone uses this. Full force of water. Feels very clean. After that, we wash with soap with with our hand. Very clean and dry after that. I know I'm going to get banned for saying this but I have asked multiple white women in uni how they cleaned themselves after shitting and they said they just wipe with paper. I got disgusted. White womens faces are cute and their bodies are hot and sexy, but if they don't wash their ass with water that is very disgusting to imagine.

If you think I'm lying ask some Indian woman you might know. All middle class households in India have handheld bidet.

In 50 years I'll be a billionaire that has established a women's only state and made strides in women's liberation.

Probably not a single dime left for my retirement. Oh well, dying in some cool fucking geographical wonder of nature sounds neat tho.

Dead.

I still think 2007 was worse in this regard, but the same cp site with the same picture is posted a dozen times a day on /b/ now. It's probably a honeypot, but it's disgusting either way.

>>301449
Do they still run the kik honeypot? When in there once because I was curious and immediately got flooded with illegal shit, was paranoid for weeks that I was gonna get a knock on my door. Mods didn't do shit about those threads being posted every day, that was probably 5 years ago

>>301765
I forgot about the kik stuff. No, it seems to be all signal now. It's the "activist's choice" messaging app run by former Google execs and only available from Google Play.

The internet used to have more publicly famous/infamous secret clubhouses for account-holding adults.
When I was a young teenager I thought I wanted a SomethingAwful forum account just to access the Lets Play subforum and archives.
God damn but time has not been kind to those weirdos. I kinda wonder how much trouble the world managed to avoid just because those freaks were prevented by a $10 barrier from interacting with too many dumb minors.

Oh, and a livejournal for ScansDaily and other visually enriched slash.

reading trough the thread made me really nostalgic.
i found 4c in 2004 or 5 because of anime stuff i searched online and have been visiting the site (with brakes) ever since. i always liked being anonymous but yea the culture of the boards back then was a lot more fun. people behaved a little more like they would in rl and there werent these toxic echo chambers everywhere on the internet that we have today and bleed into every community. that said it was always a place where people could get really mean/degenerate, but it didnt took over every thread. /b/ also was a lot more sfw and produced some of the best threads i have ever witnessed. i wonder how some anons here can still browse the modern /b/. i find it insufferable.

>>230939
for some reason gen y got renamed to millenials at some point

>>230967
i agree, kek is old as hell too though

>>231062
i played RO back then and people were so nice and friendly on there, i never had bad experiences even in TS and there were a lot of other girls playing too. but maybe it was different in EU?

wring out your hair and scrape water off your body after a shower but BEFORE stepping out/using a towel. it drastically cuts down on the amount of water getting everywhere in the bathroom and the time it takes to dry with a towel

I live in a shared house with the rooms and bathrooms being close together, so every time someone does #2 everyone will smell it
The solution for this is to light up one or two matches (three at most) for the smell to get instantly cleared

It's pretty quick and efficient and nobody gets their feelings hurt from having to see everyone open every window in the house so the smell goes away

>>305556
who doesn't do this jesus christ lmao

>>305558
me personally
i would just buy a new house

If you got stuff to clean out of the sink you can stick your arm in the sink and let the faucet run onto your elbow and swing your hand around so the water flows down your wrist like a magic wand.
Plus it's fun

Growing up I tried to be progressive and chill and accepting of everyone's lifestyle and ideas as long as they were legal and weren't harming anyone, but I never fully could feel comfortable with trans women. They hypersexualize theirselves so much, and the most vocal majority in the internet are always lesbian or want to date lesbian cis women. Why do they always predate on women and invade our spaces? Why do they want to be exactly like us even though they'll never be a biological woman? They're so sexist by default too, and are always boasting about stealing women's partners or being more attractive than us. Yikes.

>>306783
Unironically how I feel exactly too, I was very progressive for such a long time till I interacted with trans "women" myself. It seems most of them have weird perverted ideas of being female and some sort of "better than you" complex because their whole identity is based on a sexual fetish for men. I tolerate and try to be respectful to most people, yet it always seems they have the same moid mindset.

>>306783
no matter how many hormones or body parts they cut off, at the end of the day they are still a moid. A narcissistic moid, at that

>>306783
>>306810
The number 1 reason that progressive women hit peak trans is tims themselves. I had tons of tif friends in highschool so I thought that trans people were just like me. Then I started to meet and interact with male toons. They are literally all the same, even the ones reading this. Degenerates who want to rape women and children and animals, not even corpses are safe. They all act like speds roleplaying as anime girls, because they are. They are also the only ones who I've met irl to call black women mannish and unfeminine. Trannies are extremely hateful towards black women because of their /pol/ background. I think it's interesting how even my tif mutuals online a have started to pick up on it.

>people unironically post this shit and are serious
A woman is an adult human female. No, a man is not a woman just because he says he is.

>>306962
This. I was willing to play along with everyone else until I started interacting with them. Men are men, and a man will still think and act like one even if he calls himself Lily.
