People with Down Syndrome can have normal intelligence. It's a misconception that they are all retarded.

>>21011
I had no idea.

>>21011
I've never seen a downie with an average IQ but downies in general have a high IQ when it comes to emotional intelligence and subtle social cues. Has anyone else noticed that? I don't know how to put this right, but it seems like they're good at picking up on complex emotional bids that average adults don't pick up on.

>>21013
I never actually considered this before but looking back on the downies I’ve interacted with, you’re right. They struggle intellectually, but they’re often the first to pick up on someone being upset and quick to try and cheer that person up.

>in general have a high IQ when it comes to emotional intelligence and subtle social cues
Not really. They might be less inhibited in that area but that doesn't make it "high IQ." It just shines more because everything else is poop.

>Chemical sunscreen does cause cancer though.
Not all of them do.

Mineral sunscreen because it's more protective. Only with zinc oxide though. Was titanium dioxide not banned?

>>20291
In skittles

i'm just staying out of the sun during the hottest hours (10 am to 2pm) and let my skin handle it.

The sunscreens I use are a mix of both, but I do prefer chemical sunscreens as I also make an effort to stay out of the sun.

hi nona, im a big gyaru fan too!! have been for a while. so nice to see a thread about this lol
the type of gyaru you seem to like is called manba and ganguro theyre all pretty "extreme" or just well, over the top. my fashion preference when it comes to gyaru fashion is more agejo, goshikku, rokku and oneegyaru..hime is also a really common fashion style which i like too

Why is cosplaying as british girls a thing in Japan?

>>20526
Does that look British to you anon?

western skincare in general is pretty fucked.
maybe it changed recently but i remember there was always this huge emphasis on 'removing oils' from your face with aggressive products and scrubbing, when thats actually the worst thing you can do for acne and dryness (and dryness and lack of oils causes acne).
look to the east, you can do really well with basic level toners and stuff from japan or korea.

Asian products are soo much better. I stopped using some western products. I can't always afford it but those months I don't run out of my fullkit its great. I started using less make up over all too and tried to learn some different techiques. They actually care about keeping you youthful in Korea. You get what you pay for.

>>20313
They are there to sell you expensive stuff. Look at reviews online instead.
>>20864
I love asian skincare products and make up. They all feel so light-weight and still do a great job at keeping my dry skin moisturized. I think the only western products that I still bother to buy for my skin are Cera Ve and some cheap stuff from the drugstore.

They don't give a fuck about what you want, they just want you to buy something and leave the store asap

That's why you do your own research and buy the thing you want instead of relying on customer service

>>20864
their sunscreens, moisturizers and cleansers are great but toners are just useless shit that do nothing for your face, same as serums and eye patches etc

Meh, don't really use make up, never have, and never had anyone in my life tell me I should put some on except for my mom when I was in hs because she wanted me so bad to be more girly or whatever. I honestly have never seen any other chick being an ass to another woman either irl or online for not wearing make up, has that happened to you, nona? The only type of person I can see doing that are tiktok losers.

>sanpaku eyes
You gonna get

Where do you live and what don't you like about it?

I just got a amazon gift card, what should I buy for hair? I have blonde, straight hair. I could always use more volume and I like to curl it, any recommendations?
Looking for…
Mousse
Hair spray
Dry shampoo
Leave in products

Or anything else you recommend. There's so many options it's overwhelming lol

is this achievable natty? for a stocking cosplay

>>20309
super late sorry but yes if you get it professionally done it just wont be as thick as picrel bc that's a wig

I have very thick hair and I recently cut it short to try manage it easier (which I regret) and now idk wtf to do with it. Are thinning shears good?

Last night I cut my hair from belly-button length to nipple-length. It's so much easier to handle!

I know I'll regret it, but now I want to give myself bangs…

Fattie here that has reached their goal weight and have decided to continue the weight loss. Its cope/seethe, I've never called anyone anything like that because I'm not the jealous sort, I know being fat is my own personal flaw.

>>21015
They remember that before puberty, it was thin girls calling them all kinds of degrading shit.
It's payback, and thin people shouldn't play innocent. They're notorious for being judgmental to fat people. Harass, bully, assault, molest, ….
Also all insults, but the die skinny bitch, are not really insults.

>>21018
> molest
Thin girl classmate probs legit just thought you were cute and didn't quite understand your physical boundaries or the depth of your bodyshame. She's probably mortified about it in hindsight and this label on a couple of boundary crossings is too extreme, thin women are not men and do not deserve that judgment.

I've noticed the reverse much more often. Sometimes the bullying wasn't subtle at all

>>21016
Coming from an average weight girl with no horse in this race - this is completely self evident and easy to understand, which is why skinny girls complaining about mean fat women is obvious humblebragging. If someone is mean to you out of jealousy, it doesn't hurt your feelings, it boosts your ego. You get to feel good about yourself and pity for her. And if that's not enough, you can complain online about how hard it is to be skinny because fat girls are so horrible to you, and you'll get a tonne of validation about how great you are for being skinny and how inferior fat girls are.

>>20483
Try light makeup like a 'bareface' style, or like how the Japanese do theirs. Use nonvibrant, gentler colors for your make up, like a soft rose or pink peach, and avoid wearing anything very bold. Short nails help too.

>>20483
Go for ponytails or two side braids
Best not to worry to much though, everyone turns ugly eventually, better to focus on your braid, personality, or physical skills

>most men wont even bother with a girl if he doesn't consider her somewhat attractive
Speak for yourself, I got an attractive, athletic, cute, high income guy 100x out my league after only a few months of meeting while I had messy hair, was overweight, saggy tits, and not shaving. You don't have to shove yourself into some shitty box for a man that will only love you while you're not being yourself. Your sense of what type of people men find beautiful is warped. Most people in relationships look painfully average because most humans on earth are average. You only need to worry about appearance if you are pinning after a man that's a literal super model. Look at the girl friends and wives around you, I bet they just look average physically, even if they dress up kinda nice.

>I got an attractive, athletic, cute, high income guy 100x out my league after only a few months of meeting while I had messy hair, was overweight, saggy tits, and not shaving.
Not the nona you replied to but what the fuck? I look just like that, nobody has or will ever pay attention to me. Not that I look bad all the time, I try to dress nicely but I have curly hair for example and curly hair is messy by default. I really do feel like I just can't compete with the average woman. Where and how did you meet your moid anyway?

>>20999
Meant to reply to >>20980

>>20980
How much does a moid have to make to be considered high income? Is it still 6 figures?
This world is so fucked with the amount of rent and high cost of living in comparison to the stagnant wages.
I just want my moid to save me from all of it (yes, I am a gold digger)
