I hate my accent. It's idiosyncratic. Every fucking time I meet someone new the following happens:

>Them: Where are you from?
>Me: [Country]
>Them: But you don't sound like you are from there. You sound American.
>Me: [Makes up a lame excuse about traveling a lot].
>Them: Oh wait, yeah you do sound like you are from [Country].

Can people not wait 1 minute before commenting? Every fucking time. And I don't even sound American, Americans know I'm not one of them.

same fam. apparently i sound like a 10 year old girl. most people gush over it, and i get weird attention from guys with lolicon complexes, but some people think i'm faking my voice.

i've started doing vocal exercises including breathing more deeply and speaking from my stomach. i just started a few days ago but am already seeing results. problem is i have to do it consciously. i think i can go from a 10 year old girl to at least a 14 year old.

Close, Scotland. My parents come from a part with a particular accent that isn't well known. I can't tell how much of my problem is me having a Scottish accent that people aren't used to or me having completely my own accent from trying to avoid my parent's accent.

When I was younger I used to get English instead of American which was marginally better I guess. I've been tempted for a while to make up a story and pretend one of my parents is American or something.

My voice sounds retarded. I don't know how to explain it but I absolutely hate it. I have an accent from learning french as a kid. But it's not a nice accent, it just makes me sound like a have brain problems.
At least my bf thinks it's normal. But other people have made fun of it in the past. It also gets extremely high pitched when I get in an argument and my family constantly gives me shit for it. I hate that it's something you can't actively control or even notice since your voice sounds different to yourself.

honestly it's probably necessary just to keep their sex lives active. 'Lesbian bed death' is a known thing that happens in long term lesbian relationships.

>"And in this world of women, intimacy was currency."
Is it just me, or does that quote make a world without men seem that much more cozy?

>>72274
Sounds cozy but the reality is intimacy has always been able to be used as currency. Japan has pretend boyfriends, pretend girlfriends, host clubs, etc.

communes are a bit different from transbian polycules; this is more like what hippie free-love straight people tried to do in the 60s than what transbians do today. a better precedent for transbian behavior is what gay men used to be like when they were more fringe than they are now.

>>71665
Because of the conspiracy in academia to keep alternate, non-left viewpoints down.
Trannies have successfully convinced everyone that questioning their movement is on par with being a Neo-Nazi. Doing serious research into transgender issues is like doing research into eugenics: unsupported and career-ending. That's why no one wants to dig up anything that might implicate this movement. And this goes for sociology and medical biology alike.

I do everything in this thread already but these comments aren't wrong either.

Honestly, the best thing you can do for the planet is voting for the most green party.

Contributing to the destruction of the CCP's regime and opposing corporatist legislation. Literally nothing any of us can do will save the environment while China and corporations dominate and control the vast majority of greenhouse gases emitted.

>but I have a re-usable tote bag and a steel straw! I must be saving the environment
You're literally doing less than nothing - you're actively giving money to China and corporations for lying to your face. They spend billions to promote the idea that "green" capitalism will fix everything - just buy all new replacements for everything you own. Got an old car? Buy a brand new electric car which is still powered by coal powerplants. And you eat that shit up because buying a super cute steel flask instead of water bottles is easier than becoming politically engaged.

You cannot solve the problems of unrestrained consumption with MORE consumption.

>>72560
This. Literally doing nothing is the most green you can be.

Hi

>Buy a brand new electric car which is still powered by coal powerplants

Coal is being decommissioned in the United States and replaced with natural gas, solar, and wind. Natural gas has already surpassed coal due to its comparative cleanliness and ready availability. Grid power will also contract as a whole over the next 50 years as shrinking battery prices make home solar installations more widespread. Unlike the straw bullshit, converting the United States transportation system to electric is going to make a significant impact on emissions.

>What do you think about literal cucks?
They're usually terrible human beings that push their partners to fuck people they're not comfortable with through emotional manipulation.

1 year ago. A 1 fucking year old thread.

lock this shit up already.

>>72511
other anonette is right, necroing a year old thread? What the fuck man

a lot of kinks are becoming trendy… same with "choking," ageplay/calling people daddy, kittenplay

i think it's based to think it's weird and mock it rather than trying to virtue signal as being ~so open minded~ shit's weird. i will gladly say it, lol.

how tf is that woman 33…looks at least 10 years older!

Luciferian nature of porn industry aside, that reddit post is unironically communism. I shouldn't tell my boss what to produce, how to sell or who to hire, like what the hell?

>>70886

The coom brains will eventually flood any space with porn if there’s no real moderation.

>>70886
Men have never liked being told what to do. at least not by people who they haven't chosen to be able to command them. it is the scrote's nature to try and bend the world to his will every chance he gets and an authoritarian moderator stands in his way, so he flocks to areas of the internet with less resistance.

>trans and genderqueer
ugh

Maybe just focus on spending your time with people one on one? Don't try and be someone you're not.

Kys, life look like too hard for you

>>72422
Yeah, I kind of figured the only way to get better at the socialization game is to just suck it up and do it more often. Funnily enough I actually have a therapist that I see for generalized anxiety and he recommends pretty much the exact same thing you're saying for making friends.

>>72427
I think I'm ok in one-on-one situations, but those aren't the only interactions life, right? Should I try and focus on one person when in group situations to make friends with? Maybe that way I won't have to try and interact with multiple people at once. Group dynamics make that hard sometimes though.

>>72430
Oh fuck off. People are allowed to have feelings.

>>72437
well it's a fairly standard and proven treatment for anxiety issues such as yours so it's no surprise you're getting that recommended to you. Sometimes you get given assertiveness training which helps if you're too agreeable, which seems likely from the way you describe things. In any case I'd bring it up to your therapist and discuss the possibility of getting it. Keep up your current work, doing well anonnette.

I wanted to make anime n stuff I guess or an otome game. The latter aint so hard I might be able to make one on the side as a hobby but I need to hire an artist better than I am. I only know how to draw backgrounds.

Switzerland has had 0 mass shootings and managed to remain neutral during 2 world wars. It also has less stabbings than the UK yet guns are legal. Just because the US sucks doesn't mean guns suck.

You do realise that it's so Switzerland could sell arms to both sides with limited spending? Their country is all money.

If the weak can't rely on the strong, then they need tools to make them bigger. But as long as a non-lethal alternative exists then the job of killing should be left to the professionals

>>72141
None of this is due to gun laws. There is not even a proven minor effect from it.

You are mentally castrated and insist on having what little power a normal person could get taken away. Self-defence is not even valid in most countries either. I don't know why you support your own slavery. You will take whatever nonsense is imposed on you and rationalise it as good or needed too. Mentally castrated by the state and media.

BTC and ETH.

merry christmas

Merry Christmas my friends.
St. Nicholas as but a newborn, was found standing for 3 days and 3 nights in his baptism. A sign of wonder and and conversation for many who saw. May the rivers of Christ's divine mercy and justice flow through your soul and veins all the days of your life. Stand firm in all good things. Hard ships of the earth may shake us, but the foundation of God's rock shall have us stand triumphant even in waters flowing.

This but unironically
I will pray for all of you tonight!!
