>Human powered flight created the terror bombing campaign and the atom bomb but we do not live in a cratered moonscape.
True. But we still live under the threat of nuclear war. There's a lot of countries where it used to be a grave faux pas to even mention getting nuclear weapons. Used to.

Just from the top of my head: With functioning clone tanks, future wars may be very…intresting. One idea is to create soldiers that are like 5 feet tall and follows orders just so. That matures in 5 years, have a natural life span of 20 and can't reproduce by themselves. Also be dependent on some drug that only their commander can provide. That means IFF they go AWOL they will die.

Neat! These could gestate thousands of those frozen IVF embryos

they should save some embryos/eggs as early as possible so when human species finally evolve we could still have access to prehistoric humans that aren't 90% microplastic

Pretty sure artificial wombs can only create female children LOL!!!!

>>22572
Why would they when an embryo can be either sex? Are you thinking of female same-sex reproduction?

You don't know how the world works. Where I live the only food you'll be able to afford to make from 'scratch' is instant noodles unless you have a high paying, skilled job or you work a lot.

sounds like a horrible place, too bad for you the only way to be alive as a human today is to live in the exact place that you live in and there are no other places you could go where there is food available.

>>20783
There is plenty of food available, but you won't be able to afford making everything from scratch unless you have the time the money and the energy

>>20785

i call bs, go prove it. make an example calculation and then i will ridicule it and point out all the flaws and the countless things you don't understand or know so i don't have to hear your silly theater anymore meant to display your highest priority in life: irresponsibility.

lmfao yeah, this is just a picture of a normal girl in clothes too small for her

Hi nona, I don't know how you are doing right now, but I think we have pretty similar fat distribution. Although I am probably taller than you and weigh more. I also have narrow hips with kind of an unflattering shape and losing the fat definitely helped me get a nicer more sculpted waist. But also working on my posture really helped me get a more defined waist. Hope you are well and your weight loss journey is working!

is there a giant picture of a baby with its feet directly pointed at the camera behind you????????

>>22181
I think you should focus on being a healthy bmi for your health's sake rather than looks, since you only look few pounds overweight. The issue here is the dress. It looks cheap and unflattering, tight around your hips and bunchy at your waist. What you need are skirts/dresses/pants that are baggier/flare out at the hips, and it will balance out your silhouette. A fit and flare dress would probably suit you, or straight-leg pants with a tank top. At least, that works for me since I have a similar silhouette. Also, nicer materials drape better and are more flattering.

>>22029
This nona has good advice.

I only shave my underarms and do it because it's easier to use deodorant + get clean after sweaty exercise when there's not hair in the way. I do it probably every other time I shower

Overall I find shaving legs to be a meditative thing to do once in a while, but I wear long pants so I have no reason to do it regularly

Overall I think shaving is a waste of time unless you have a specific functional reason for it. Beauty standards and whatever but who gaf. I'm a human being, not a barbie doll to ogle

For those who have gotten electrolysis how does it feel, specifically how much does it hurt? I want to get it since I hate body hair but I'm nervous, especially about the bikini area

>>22091
Depends a lot on the skill of the technician, I think, as well as the part of the body. That said, it barely hurts more than just plucking the hair out normally. Usually they use a topical anesthetic of some sort so it can also basically feel like nothing at times.

It's important to remember that it takes a while to get results. A lot of people seem to expect it to be some kind of instant miracle.

Only the bikini line for me. Its winter so i dont really shave my legs but otherwise i do

>>22542
>These people worked far less than us.
Basically an outright lie. This comes from mindless repitition of a single study called the original affluent society. The results of it were found to be unreplicatable.

Even then, it had a very different definition of 'work' than what you're thinking. By this definition, the only work you do is going to the grocery store and you work no more than 1-2 hours a week.

Basically, they pretend that the only thing that counts as 'work' for hunter gatehrers was gathering food, which is only a small fraction of the work they had to do. Most of their work was in processing their food and it also leaves out other things like building fire, clothes, tools, etc.

TLDR, you are misinformed. Please stop repeating incorrect things. Thank you.

Yeah, this is weird. From the mother's perspective, what is even supposed to be the appeal of this? You get to… lie down while a bunch of women put stuff on your body. She can't even move her head to look down at the flowers. If I was in her position, being "pampered" by "the village" would involve, I don't know, being taken out for a group dinner.

>>22549
There has been a lot of work since Sahlins, and not all of it has been critical. I appreciate you bringing this to my attention, but it seems that there have been quite a few energy studies on such communuties now. Even in Sackett (1996) it was claimed that the work day was perhaps 30% shorter for them than for us. Not as dramatic as I was thinking, but still a far cry from "one study that was totally refuted".

>lie down while a bunch of women put stuff on your body

Not mutually exclusive
And either are better than the current reality of being a pregnant and postpartum woman

sorry for reviving a dead thread but Im so Fucking frustrated I feel like all the jfashion communities online now are so retarded and watered down. Tiktok has impacted everything so negatively
I like gal but I feel like nobody even TRIES to put in any real effort when wearing it anymore

>>22535
Nobody online bothers to research the history of different jfashion styles anymore, they just buy a bunch of shit off shein or temu and put on ugly makeup and if you dare even give them advice they throw a bitchfit about how fashion shouldn’t have rules and you are against self expression blablablah.

>>22536
Honestly.
I feel like the jirai comm is one of the worst, people online LOVE to just make things up about it kek
worry about your ugly untucked shein blouse before telling ppl in tiktok comment sections what u think is and isn't jirai

>>22536
It’s like watching colonization happen in real time. Once you let all the tourists in, they trash what was pure and attempt to change everything about it so they can let more of their people in who have no respect for tradition. It’s a loop that happens to every sub-fashion that gains popularity, and the people who were originally there give up and move to some other community that isn’t infested with larps

>>22541
And those tourists act like they know more about jfashion than you as if their knowledge isnt purely tiktok based and as if you haven’t been into jfashion for way longer than them. I’ve seen so much lies spread about different jfashions and their history by newbies who learned about them through tiktok. So tiring

>Does any woman actually like lingerie
Yes, I think lingerie on other people looks nice.
>Does any woman like wearing lingerie
Yeah, that too.
I like wearing lingerie when it's cute and comfortable. Same with pyjamas, hair clips, cute pencils, phone wallpapers, whatever, if it's cute and causes no discomfort, that's all the reason I need.
All a matter of taste and mood. If I wanna feel fancy, I'll wear lace, if I'm more in a mood for sth cute, I'll wear my underwear set with little bows on it. I also have silk underwear which is so fancy and comfy, I should probably buy more of it… Whether I put that much time in picking out the perfect underwear for the day depends entirely on how much time and money I have for little things like that though. I usually just wear whatever. I probably have way too many socks but I love them.
>g-strings
I've tried out a tanga once and decided to never wear that again, too uncomfy. No way I'd wear something similar that looks even more uncomfortable.

>>22170
>(idk if he buy them for a girl in the past or whatever)
You're more graceful than I would be about it.

I have been unable to pick out why the hentai outfits drew his attention. They don't flatter a woman at all, just look "unique"? One of them looks like the Borat swimsuit, I hate it. Some of them he showed me were some hentai volleyball video game he played as a kid. Like why did artist decide these were nice?

>>21930
I loveee this kind of lingerie. It's so pretty and I would honestly wear corsets/gowns like this out if men didn't exist. Hate any kind of thin string underwear though.

>>22336
yo girl, that's disgusting. Don't let a disgusting man like that defile you with his hentai projections.

>>21930
I like these too, like it's aesthetic and cute. I don't really care what men love.

You can always try styling your hair? Maybe curling or straightening it? Maybe even extensions or wigs could help.

I went no-make up for about a year. It was really freeing. You save so much time, money, and mental space. Good luck, Nona!

>>Gets soaking oily in 1-2 days
Well yeah you're supposed to take a shower every day

>>22483
Every other day actually,unless you want your skin to be 120 grit sandpaper

>>22484
You don't have to shower and use soap on every square inch of your body but thin hair will never be able to go days and days without being washed or using product to help it not look greasy. You'll probably have to wash thin hair every day to maintain volume.

>>22490
That was my point in the op. That there's no workaround having fine hair and it getting greasy fast because it's like this by design
But >>22483 made it sound like you're supposed to shower every day regardless of your hair type or how oily your skin is

>>22490
As someone with thin light hair I find that the longer it gets, the better it holds up not getting shampoo'd. I shower twice daily, but I only used to wash my hair twice a week when it was below my shoulders. Day 2 and day 3 hair feels conditioned and easier to handle.
