More articles than you can shake a stick at. And all things unequal, there was a Debenhams in Stockholm. So brittish-comfy I almost farted the queen.

yep. i love shopping in malls and unique stores. i dont understand why people love online shopping its like a game of chess trying to navigate these horrible websites or seeing if the product is actually real

You know that you live in the Twilight Zone when the US is a bankrupt warmongering police state and Americans look you in the eye and say that the USA is a peaceful and free country with a balanced budget.

because when you choose the instant ramen, you choose the worst possible ramen in any way except for convenience.

the ramen factory does not love you, the ramen factory loves money and they get it from you by selling you shit ingredients in a pretty looking package. if they had the choice between the healthy fat for 1 cent per package and the unhealthy fat for 0,9cent per package, they'd choose the unhealthy fat every time because that's be slightly more money for them. they don't care about you you idiot, they just want your money.

when you make your own:

+cheaper
+healthier and tastier ingredients
+a portion that you can tailor to how much hunger you have
+spices you like
+you get better at it quickly. doing it a few days and you are already better then the instant.
+don't feel like a passive braindead consumer npc, you feel like a skilled person applying their massive skills for the benefit of your life
-takes a few more minutes that you pretend you don't have

>the ramen factory does not love you
damn really? i have been deceived

>>309083

>i have been deceived

that's what being a mindless consumer is all about. you are probably too busy paying attention to that kind of stuff because you think about your roblocks and your tiktocks all day while your body craves living food and actual human activities in the real world.

I have never thought about it this way.

I was laid off from my job as a programmer in a massive layoff at the company I worked for, so I received severance pay. The government also pays unemployment insurance for 5 months if you were laid off by the company.
I saw the movie, I thought it was cute, and I'm writing my review.

>>308890
Still waiting on that review

>>308959

Oh, sorry for being so slow, I was hating everything I had written, until I convinced myself that I don't know how to write reviews, so, this will just be a comment.
I really liked the anime's design, it has a cute and very melancholic style, with an air of nostalgia that I always like a lot.
At the beginning of the movie, I was remembering my bad days at school. Being a weirdo, whether in appearance, manners, or learning is bad enough, I can't even imagine what it must be like for someone with a disability or condition, but, at least in my country, most people have a certain Catholic guilt when making fun of disabled people, or at least they are hypocritical and careful enough to do so outside of school or the workplace. But in truth, I didn't have much contact with special people during my school years, only with a kid who had an intellectual disability (he was very aggressive, often with me, and I was very hot-headed and ended up retaliating) and with an autistic boy at my last job, he made inappropriate jokes and was always laughing, but he worked normally, he was never aggressive in any way, on the contrary.
Shoko's mother took a long time to take action, my blood boiled when the moidlet pulled the hearing aids so hard that it even hurt her ears.
This movie kind of made me realize that I'm a very spiteful little person and I still hate my classmates, teehee, may Satan have them in a bad place.
I've met a few people who regretted the bullying they've done. Actually, only one YouTuber from my country made a video talking about having mistreated an autistic boy who studied with him. I don't know if it was genuine, but it seems pretty risky to admit that you've tormented an autistic boy on the internet these days.
I was happy to see that the protag. had changed and was doing something to make up for the harm he'd done to Shoko-chan, but I know that's just fiction. I've said it before, I don't think bullies are capable of regretting the harm they've done, and I think even less that moids are capable of regretting the harm they've done to a girl/woman, no matter if she's a classmate like in the movie, or a girlfriend, a wife, or even their own mother. I was also a little annoyed to see Ishida as a good guy who regrets his actions and the other bully, Ueno, as the "evil, jealous one" whPost too long. Click here to view the full text.

I want to read the spoilers but I haven't seen the movie

>>309070
Wowza, the movie may be two hours long, but it goes by really fast, kek

Yes I agree you should be mindful of what you're actually being tested on but studying JUST to memorize will absolutely be more work in the long run

Take calculus in that it's basically a pyramid, if you never managed to understand what a differential was then integrals will literally feel like magic and no amount of memorization will help you understand until you go back

Take it balanced!!

I study better when I'm drunk. Take a shot of vodka beforehand.

Recently I had this paper I just could not start, I had already done like 500+ pages of reading for it and outlined the whole thing but I just could not write the first paragraph. I took a shot of shitty tequila and my writers block was instantly fixed lol

Kek. Alcohol is really the best thing for writing

>But I still get the need to socialize and come here.
I fundamentally disdain other people and I hate the base social animal part of me that still needs human interaction to keep me from becoming mentally ill. I have to force myself to interact with people periodically like its medicine. Retarded.

>>295674
Yeah you don't need that. Ever since i learned to cut that out of me my life is better for it. People usually just exhaust you unless its a few rare individuals. You go in expecting fun but its always a swinefest.

>>295674
This site is a pretty subpar substitute for human interaction. But I like the idea to talking to other women while remaining anonymous.
I wouldn't try to make friends from this site, I can't stand some of you and I'd probably despise them in irl.

>>295698
i cant stand me either and wouldnt want to be friends with myself irl too

>I think I am suppose to be nonverbal but I was forced to talk as a child
You really think no one is trying to force non-verbal autistic kids to talk? You think feeling like an alien and an outsider is not an incredibly common human experience? You hate staring people in the eye because you can feel a disconnect, which sounds like the sort of eye contact avoidance typical to social anxiety rather than the heightened autonomic arousal responses more typical to autism.

The catastrophization and self-victimization from level 1 autistics has become so insufferable. Differences between populations of people with autism diagnoses and people with none has almost disappeared because of solipsistic, moderately neurotic idiots like you and the doctors who diagnose you.* They can't conduct studies on autism anymore if the trend of the diagnosis criteria subtly dropping keeps up to the point of there being no difference between diagnosed autistics and the populations who would be used as the control group.

You would have been comfortably part of the normal distribution 30 years ago. Back then you would have done what everyone with an ounce of self-reflection does and tried to build the best possible life you can around your flaws and failings. I guess people had permission structures to wallow in their "unique" pain then too, but still! For years, level 1 autistics have been going around autism forums misidentifying their neurotypical-adjacent feelings and experiences as autism related. They do shit like talk about eye contact being uncomfortable for abstract psychological reasons rather than being caused by the neurological hyper arousal of level 2-3 autistic people, who describe it as painful and can't be coaxed to do it at all. It's the reason for eye contact avoidance being one of the defining symptoms. Internet autists talk about "masking" as if neurotypicals don't do exactly what they're describing, as if being able to mask in the first place isn't actually a point against having autism. These quarter-autistics have been furiously jerking each other off while the more seriously affected people won't by the nature of their more debilitating autism participate effectively in the conversation. Now the whole disorder is defined by the misidentifications of these people who can't imagine a world without their made up versPost too long. Click here to view the full text.

It's irritating to have struggled with what was diagnosed as Asperger's and to not have the resources or support I needed as a kid and yet seeing it turn into a social contagion nightmare. A majority of people that say it with pride probably aren't. Especially the "it's not a disability" crowd. It's been severely disabling for me to the point that I can't function well without support. Shits irritating to me. The amount of toxic people I've dealt with who blame it on "neuro-divergence" to my face have made me distrust most people who try to act wholesome. And the people that try and enable it. Destroys social groups and causes hostility in work environments.

I have been thinking recently about how autism is often said to be underdiagnosed in women due to "presenting differently" in females. My theory is that autism does not actually present differently in girls, it is just treated differently by gender– ignored for girls and coddled for boys. Autistic girls don't "act" autistic because they are actually forced by society to function within it.

Obviously this does not apply to severe cases, but I wonder how many high-functioning autistic boys have actually been stunted by diagnosis; obviously all males are socialized with entitlement and lack of empathy but autistic males moreso. In my opinion, if they were simply raised like autistic girls are (which is to say, just treated normal), they would be able to be more independent and better functioning.

Delinquency vs psychopathy. This video and what's seen in plenty of American schools is pretty consisent in behavioral issues. Teachers have been leaving or preparing to leave in droves because of shit like this.

>>308883
Education in America is really screwed up. There's no way of disciplining students.

insert a a school shooting joke here

Why joke when it's just true

this is too painfully cringey to watch, someone summarize what is happening in this video for me

Maybe it's regional? The majority of libfems or just generally out of touch normies I've met irl are uncritically into her.

>>308902
Hmm, most libfems I've seen love to idolize Beyonce or Nicki Minaj, and they usually label TS as "basic" among other BS that they usually parrot, like taking racism out of their asses etc. I don't think TS is an example of feminism but who among us are, right?

>>308914
>Beyonce
>Nicki Minaj
>feminism

wow

>>308916
I forgot to mention that they also think Pedro Pascal is hot and that having casual sex is empowering (yes, it only gets worse)
