This is more of a general question not about this specific topic, but why do so many rpers think "xyz happened to me, so I don't care if it happens to other people" or worse "xyz happened to me, so I want to be the one to do it to other people"? If something felt bad when it happened to you, shouldn't you know that it feels bad and not want that for someone else? Idk. It's stuff like this that I find really discouraging about IJ, so few people are even attempting basic human decency.

I'm not surprised this got crickets as anons instead pivot away from acknowledging how poorly they treat people in here. This is a level of self-reflection they're not capable of.

[(Anonymous)]

And everyone forgot about bucktooth Austin Butler.

[(Anonymous)]

And the other uggo, Paul Mescal.

One person might find a person ugly and the other could find them stunning. We're allowed to have preferences and it doesn't mean we're shit-talking IMO. People find Sebastian Stan ugly as sin and I love his look.

[(Anonymous)]

I have no idea who's joining any comm at any given time, and I'm constantly calling all the white uglies ugly. Saying it's shittalk is a stretch.

That limbo when you don't have anyone to comment with and you've replied to any scenes you have and you've commented all the recent posts... Twiddling your thumbs, trying not to find a psl because you'll be busy again soon and a temporary lack of stimulation isn't an excuse.

I feel this on a deep level Anon. This is me right now. I try to fill the time with TV shows, or other interesting things, but I still end up refreshing the ad communities over and over.

Do you guys claim icons in PSLs or is that purely a comm thing?

[(Anonymous)]

My slp and I claim them anyway because why not?

[(Anonymous)]

Anons, do any of you have siblings you just don't speak to?

[(Anonymous)]

Half siblings.

I have a long haired cat who HATES getting brushed (yes I'm gentle, he's just saucy) and the older he gets the worse he is at grooming himself so we just fight all the time now about getting brushings.

[(Anonymous)]

I sprinkles less fussy vibes for your cat because all of mine love being brushed, and they all attack me for a turn whenever I'm brushing just one of them.

[(Anonymous)]

Anyway, I love my POC sl.

[(Anonymous)]

Me setting up my whole entire character only to see they were applied for already 🤡 why am I so dumb? AND I WAS SO EXCITED TO PLAY THEM.

[(Anonymous)]

Glen Powell is an ugly white man

[(Anonymous)]

He looks like a capybara but mostly I was shocked to find out he wasn't a nepo baby because doesn't he just SEEM like he would be?

[(Anonymous)]

I'll never admit this to anyone irl but I gave up on TOTK because it was too hard for me and I'm ashamed.

[(Anonymous)]

Don't be ashamed, anon. It is really hard for me sometimes too and can really dysregulate me, which makes me play worse. And the shrines are so confusing sometimes. I google lots of things and make myself OP before doing bosses so it's easier.

[(Anonymous)]

Every time I think I want to rp again, I spend around 2 hours looking for any ooc style username that isn't already registered because most comms use that now, can't find a single one, and then decide not to rp again. I wish there was literally anything available.

[(Anonymous)]

This is a huge part of why I don't join comms anymore tbh all my usernames are ic last names from back when that was the norm and it always feels so awkward not blending in with ooc uns and being the only person in the comm with a name un so I just stopped.

[(Anonymous)]

Ooof, the Anti-Flag and Rammstein allegations.

[(Anonymous)]

Claw caps aren't good for cats and can cause infections, plus it forces their claws to stay out instead of retracting fully. Just a heads up! If you don't want your cats scratching your furniture up, just trim their nails regularly and give them scratch posts or pads everywhere.

[(Anonymous)]

+1 My cats love having their nails trimmed and it's especially easy if get the small, non threatening clippers with a flashlight.

[(Anonymous)]

Yes, I have told this story before, in case the story repeater police are here. But sometimes, I'm reminded of the time I left a comment saying I would give an SL to the first person who left their OTP and a place to contact them in my thread and no one bit because anons spent my whole thread fighting about how I was lying, I'd flake, I was just trying to get people to share their OTPs so I could make fun of them, I would be picky, and so on and so on. And then finally, the only person who actually followed instructions wanted a Klaine SL and I was true to my word and gave them one. And that's how I had a Klaine SL for surprisingly long for someone who has never seen an episode of Glee in my life. And so many of you could've saved me from that fate if you little bitches had just ignored your natural instincts to fight.

MY BOOBS ARE SO COLD the air conditioning at my job is on 63 degrees and I'm literally getting a headache.

[(Anonymous)]

Meanwhile I'm melting, give me your ice titties.

[(Anonymous)]

Wait, are we not allowed to talk about celebs with allegations against them?

[(Anonymous)]

It depends on who it is and if the mod likes them or not. Because god forbid people bring up that Shawn Mendes has a racist and homophobic past, or that Lili Reinhart is racist, etc. They love to protect their problematic whites

Oppenheimer wasn't amazing. Did you all know Jean Tatlock was a lesbian and she died because she was a lesbian in an era of fascism, and she was studying Freud who believed homosexuality was a mental defect that needed to be "re-educated" out of women. Nolan decided to erase that, make an unnecessary and weird link from her nudity and his orgasming while reading THE death quote to the detonation of Gadget. It completely left out all the NATIVES involved in the mining and refinement of the plutonium/uranium required for all of the nuclear testing that was done. Nolan left out the part where the government intentionally lied about the effects of radiation and 95% of the rez-based work force ultimately died from cancer or outright radiation poisoning AND they brought the radiation home on their skin and clothes to their families who all got sick too. They left out the part where the Trinity test itself took place where a village of natives had been living. They were displaced and then forced to work in the mines. They left out how Oppenheimer himself chose the site because all it had were "cows and Mexicans" and neither of those things were important to him. They left out how bombing Japan less than a month later wasn't a military strategy or necessary to end the war, they only did it to intimidate the rest of the world. The whole movie is Nolan being the whitest straightest dude alive telling a story that should be told by its very not-white victims.

This is exactly how I felt watching it Anon.

I can't help but downgrade friends or cut them off entirely when they announce a pregnancy or new partner but at this point it's a defense mechanism because I've lost too many friends to kids and male partners where I've still tried to maintain the friendship and just get cast aside or used as extra help or a shoulder to cry on depending on which occurs and it ends up being an energy drain that I never signed up for.

[(Anonymous)]

You sound like a GREAT friend.

[(Anonymous)]

Sometimes I wonder what happened to old slps whose journals aren't accessible anymore.

[(Anonymous)]

Sometimes I think about how weird it is that we might spend years talking to someone every single day without ever knowing their real names or any personal details and then suddenly one day, poof, they're gone and we'll never speak to them again.

Is this even allowed??

[(Anonymous)]

Hi anons, this is Etsy anon! I don't know if anyone remembers but a few months ago I posted about how I am basically making money off of RP now. I write comfort, love, and NSFW letters for people as their favorite characters. At this time, I'm looking for someone who might be interested in some extra work as the workload is becoming a little much with my full-time job. Pay is typically $8-$15 per letter depending on what package is purchased. If this is something you might be interested in doing, please drop a comment tomatillo for more details

[(Anonymous)]

I unfollowed a handful of channels on YouTube for constantly making videos doing Temu/Wish/etc. hauls and I feel bad about it but giving views to people farming content using those companies felt worse.

[(Anonymous)]

Don't feel bad. We all grow out of content.

[(Anonymous)]

I fully acknowledge this is a me problem and not the problem of any comm currently and I'm happy for everyone having fun at them. But none of the non SOL options are hitting for me right now and sometimes I miss comms.

[(Anonymous)]

Me too anon, I've been in your exact same boat for months now.

[(Anonymous)]

I will never understand why I'm so awkward in group chats on the internet but I love talking to strangers IRL.

[(Anonymous)]

I love going into the tiktok lives and talking to people. I'm moderately attractive enough to get people who want to have conversions with me, but I'm also awkward about it too.

[(Anonymous)]

So anyway, here's some media as told by the silenced voices of those who suffered in the making and detonation of atomic bombs by the United States: Children of Hiroshima (1952), Hiroshima (1953) and the books Yellow Dirt by Judy Pasternak and Hiroshima Diary by Dr. Michihiko Hachiya.

If anyone has any other sources for the Navajo, please contribute. Mods all I ask is that you don't allow this thread to turn to shit talking and only unscreen comments that offer actual education and sources for those who are willing to learn.

[(Anonymous)]

A good place to get started on the latter is looking up the Radiation Exposure Compensation Act. 🙃
