Gothic/Alternative Thread Anonymous 5731[Reply]

It says that general fashion is permitted here, so how about a gothic/alternative fashion thread? Western, not gothic lolita.

Gothic rock started in the UK in the 1980s and is an offshoot of post-punk. The subculture that was based on the music survived through the decade and to this very day still has many "followers". Many fashion styles have been connected to goth, and they will be discussed here.

A list of some goth bands (NOTE: There are way more bands than I listed. I just posted the more popular ones):
Bauhaus, Siouxsie and the Banshees, The Cure, Alien Sex Fiend, Christian Death, 45 Grave
Black Tape For A Blue Girl, Love Spirals Downwards, etc.

Such styles include 1980s goth, deathrock, victorian, cybergoth, etc.

I'm pretty proud of myself. I've been doing a lot of exercise but I'm still eating back some of my calories so I'm not starving myself. Yesterday I was 600 calories under my limit so I had some crackers to bring it to 300 calories under my limit.

Anonymous 21756

I ate lots of fried food last night (planned) but I managed my calories well and walked 18k steps so I ended up under my calorie limit!

I stayed up for 1.5 days (breakfast, lunch, dinner, breakfast) but didn't break my diet!

I stayex up all night but only went 20 calories over my limit. This morning I got drunk and ended up eating unplanned carbs but I just had coffee for lunch so the calories even out.

plus a bunch of tattoos all over
>Planning to have more in the future?
I'm fine in terms of piercings, I think, but I really want to get my tongue split (been meaning to for a few years, it's just expensive and will take a while to heal)
I've also considered permanent fangs and elf ears, but I'm probably not going to do either any time soon (especially not the ears, since that would fuck with my existing piercings)

I have one piercing in each lobe (got them trashily young) and am considering getting more. Specifically nipple piercings. And maybe an industrial. Just one. I like a little asymmetry. Maybe I'd look cooler with em, you know? The thing is, I'm terrified of pain and am also on my feet all the time at work. I hear that nip piercings can get botched even with the best of aftercare. Ehhh, maybe it's a risk I'll be willing to take a few months down the line???

Adhd thread Anonymous 21189[Reply]

how does adderall affact you

Anonymous 21190

I have an addiction on nicotine right now - hopefully ill get my diagnosis soon so ill get adderall and itll actually improve my cognitive performance

Anonymous 21191

1735314337588-0.jp…

Stimulants like caffeine and nicotine help me stay focused on one thing for longer (~60-70 mins without a break versus ~20-30 mins without a longer break) so I think adderall and adhd meds would make me more functional but I never tried them cause of all the testimonies about feeling like a meth zombie. Even rl friends have told me as much unprompted. For me taking magnesium helped fix my adhd. For me magnesium oxide and magnesium citrate work to cure it (magnesium oxide's cheaper since you can get it in a powder and mix it with seltzer for 2 weeks of doses. It just tastes like a mix of salty and slightly oceany/seafoody so pills may be better for some of you). Lions mane has worked to cure adhd in my friends but not me, its another option to try. Basically I dont like the idea of being dependent on my prescription and this fixes me 80% of the way where just a cup of coffee or zyn pouch throughout the day keep me functioning fine.

Tried to find the website I learned this from but couldn't. In case anyone wants to try mixing magnesium hydroxide (not oxide like I said previously) heres the process.
You'll need a 1 liter bottle of club soda/carbonated water/seltzer water (I can find it for a dollar at walmart)
You'll also need a bag of magnesium hydroxide (I've had luck with the bulk supplements brand. Spent $15 on a bag a year ago and still using the same one. ~2 year shelf life according to the exp. date)
Measure a teaspoon of magnesium and sit it aside.
Open the seltzer water and put a large funnel inside it. (The one I use is a bit bigger than a coffee cup)
have the cap ready in one hand and the measured magnesium in the other.
slam the spoon in the base of the funnel and then immediately pull the funnel out. Immediately screw the cap back on (you'll have ~5 seconds before it spews everywhere. It needs the carbonation so the magnesium sticks to the water and gets distributed)
once capped shake for 30 seconds. sit in the fridge for an hour. shake again for 30 seconds. You now have ~2 weeks of magnesium. 2-3 swigs a day.

I did this too. Stay away from Adderall though, it has the same effects of meth but less effective . The chemical structure of Adderall is identical to meth but has structural differences that weaken its effect. Meth is an upper, it makes you productive, dopamine = attention/learning,
Increase dopamine = increase attention span. Adderall is marketed as "fixing dopamine deficiency"

Anyway just search up medical journals or ask an AI if you don't believe me.

I take a larger dose of Adderall extended release in the morning with a cup of coffee, a protein bar, and some yogurt (though it takes a while because I have a hard time eating in the morning). In the afternoon, I take a smaller immediate release. I also really strictly manage my sleep and always go to bed/wake up at the exact same time every day. I wasn't treated at all as a child and raised in a really bad environment for learning to manage it, so my ADHD is pretty severe and doing anything is like pulling teeth. The medicine hasn't actually "fixed" me as much as it's made it easier for me to force myself to do what I need to do and control impulsive behaviors. Still a massive improvement that's made life livable. I was a good driver before because I was always worried about killing someone, but my driving is so much better medicated that I won't drive unless I've taken my medicine. Emotional control generally has also been helped, I'm a lot more patient, find it so much easier to wait, and I don't talk everyone's ear off.
>>21191
I don't think magnesium cures ADHD, but it is good to take. I take magnesium glycinate an hour before bed and it helps with sleep quality. But people don't become zombies on stimulant medicine unless the dose is too high. The perception mostly comes from incompetent pediatricians giving children excessive doses and then parents accepting it instead of having the dose lowered. If you're feeling lethargic and tired after taking it, that means the dose is too high. It might also be that after getting treated, someone is better able to control their impulsive behaviors and they just LOOK sedated in comparison to before.
>>21224
This isn't really true, they aren't identical and if they were then methamphetamine wouldn't be distinguished from dextroamphetamine/levoamphetamine/lisdexamfetamine. While the difference is smaller for some than others, it's still relevant. Dopamine is distinguished from norepinephrine by one small group added onto it. You also have it backwards, Adderall is more effective than methamphetamine for treating ADHD, otherwise they would treat with prescription methamphetamine.

Yes, and it works as long as you apply it regularly. My eyebrows have never felt better. Word of advice: do not buy the overpriced beauty shop stuff. Go to a drug store and buy the cheap castor oil sold as a laxative (assuming this exists in your country). Same thing.

yes, i used to apply it every night before going to bed it works really well, i used it on my brows too since mine was thin and i wanted to have fuller brows

Laundry and other adulting advice Anonymous 21763[Reply]

Teach me laundry
Had neglectful parents, mother especially thought me 0 adult skills or knowledge. I didn't know I'm meant to change my period pads more than once a day until femanons on 4chan pointed it out… Embarrassing. Hopefully this thread can be found useful or interesting for others as well who've been unsure.

Here's some questions to start off:
>When my black underwear is bleached out red from bodily discharge, or when other underwear develops deep permanent white-ish stains, that's a sign to throw them out cuz they develop bacteria, right?
>How often do you do your personal laundry? Is it only til hamper is full? Every weekend even if not much clothes to wash?
>Do you always use fabric softener for your cotton clothing when you wash?
>Does color sorting matter?
>Is 20c fine to use on all cotton except for underwear to extend the lifespan or is that not efficient enough to kill off the bacteria? Is it better to always default to 30c or maybe even 40c?
>What exactly even is "rinse and drain" mode, is it for further rinsing clothes without detergent to ensure the soap is fully washed out of the clothes?
>Any laundry brands you'd recommend specifically that make a difference?
>How hot do you wash your underwear, would you wash at 95c if your machine has the option? Do you use detergent specifically designed for underwear?
>Do you wash second hand clothing immediately when you get them home?
>How often should a beanie hat be washed in your opinion, assuming it is worn daily. How about sweatshirts and hoodies worn daily or sweatpants?
>How many wears or how often every few weeks do you wash your bras?

Samefag but about the frequency of washing, if you're not sure: Does it look clean? Does it smell fine? If yes you can keep waering it. If it has any sweaty/unpleasant smells or has stains or smears etc. in it, wash it. Don't skip the armpit and crotch areas when you smell.

Wait are you supposed to wash undies on a hot sanitized setting separate from rest of clothes??

I just separate colours and black/white and do two loads once a week.

You can just use olive oil for chapped lips. Best option if you’re at home or something. It works.
