> They're boomers so they're old and fat now, but in their day they were flaming hot.Why do people always assume that people get fat with age? I meet a lot of boomeresses who are skinny.
>>803259>>803260I wonder if they ever had to deal with sexual harassment from male business associates?
Probably likely.
>>803270yes, the did those songs, and I'm not assuming they're fat, if you look at recent pictures you can see they're clearly fat. at least, fatter than they used to be.
>sexual harassmentyeah, their first record label, don't remember the name exactly, they put out an advertisement for one of their early albums that featured the two sisters up-front-and-center in suggestive clothing on a yacht or something like that, with the caption beneath it being sexually suggestive, something like
>it was our first time!and these two got pissed off enough to give the record label the finger; they signed to another label and had to go to court to get their recently released album pulled from circulation so they could better alter it to their satisfaction.
also, the song barracuda was written in seething anger at a journalist or something of the sort, who made the comment that the two sisters were lesbians.
I'm sure they've suffered a decorated history of sexual abuse in various forms, as most all women do.
>>803332The black haired one looks fat while the blond one still looks fairly skinny.
>>803332>and these two got pissed off enough to give the record label the finger; they signed to another label and had to go to court to get their recently released album pulled from circulation so they could better alter it to their satisfactionDamn those ladies have some serious balls. Gangster rapper tier.
>also, the song barracuda was written in seething anger at a journalist or something of the sort, who made the comment that the two sisters were lesbians.Of course, the typical cisheterosexual male fetishization of female acquaintances as lesbians. (Not that the inverse doesn’t happen)
Honestly, if Heart were to debut in the 2010s/20s they probably would’ve leaned into that narrative for some media attention
It’s quite ironic how back then, female celebrities were against sexual objectification out of sheer sincerity.
Nowadays, female complaints about sexual objectification are mainly hypocritical.
>>802795>visual noveli am interested. got any recommendations. i dont think i have any standard for taste but i like cyberpunk and sci-fi stuff. absurdity/religious themes acceptable. honkai star rail for me, got all of the above themes and is adequate w its lore. lore not a necessity tho, just an appreciated snack. can be trash or whatever. i dont care.
right now playing Of the Devil. detective "VN" set in cyberpunk future.
sort of an aesthetics chud. but ill tolerate through it if its good.
>>803469Fate Stay/Night deals heavily in systematic magic. The routes revolve around a few core philosophical themes and can vary quite widely:
- Fate is the introductory route which sets up a lot of the worldbuilding, otherwise being a typical supernatural drama with some slice-of-life. On its own it's not that good honestly.
- UBW has that Japanese quality of introspection and building up fights as extensions of an ideological battle, or it's very chuuni depending on who you ask.
- HF is actually a sort of nakige horror trip.
Make sure to get the mirror moon translation. It doesn't matter if you've already seen the anime, because it's going to confuse you more than anything.
Also check out vndb, which lets you filter by themes and ratings. I haven't actually read many VNs aside from early type-moon and am slowly going through the key catalogue at this moment, so i'm not really in any position to give out recommendations.
>>784062>Doesn't need to toil in the sun for a living>Still gets a tanWhy are pinkoids like this? What enjoyment do they get out of aging like a prune and getting skin cancer?
Reporting back that I have been in library twice, together did like 3-4 hours of work. Sleep schedule still fucked, woke up at 2PM today. Hopefully tommorrow will be better, it has to be, due to summer holydays the library is closed during weekend.
And my saving are running out, if I dont get job very soon Im fucked.
In library I sat next to an encyclopedia of fantasy, so I decided to list through it, mostly looking at pictures. Despite being written somewhere in 2000s, only one and half page was dedicated to video games, but listed every B movie Conan rip-off that came out.
Its weird to see how many books on the most obscure inconsenquential topics there are. Someone spend years of their life reaserching and writting encyclopedia of Czechoslovakian military between years 1920-1938, 750 pages of describing every single unit and every high ranking officer and every military installation.
>>803695learning about scientist is crazy,entomologist really have to dedicate 5 years of study on some litterally who fly species and make a fat ass thesis at the end,most random shit I've ever seen.
sigh theres so much stuff i want to do
i wanna 3d model
i wanna illustrate
i wanna animate
i wanna make porn
i wanna watch anime
and read theory and other interesting stuff
but i also got to get a job(assuming climate collapse doesnt kill us all and i dont get to follow my "ideal" life in capitalist society. man typing that shit out makes me cringe.)
no time and the worst part is not because im not trying its because this stupid fucking brain fog that doesnt let me think. slop videos on bilibili about honkai star rail and warlockracy video essays keep me sane but i am literally cocomelon'd every single day because this brain fog does not go away. i think its the heat since it goes away after i drink water but its annoying since im not 100% sure and drinking water only works an hour after the brain fog is detected and sometimes you just piss out the rest of the water because u drank too much.
>>803988y'know, I don't remember that, but also, I am fairly new to leftypol, except for a brief period when it used to exist on 8chan like a million years ago, but I never stayed there long enough to absorb the culture because I was a /b/tard and dysnomia was a prick who arbitrarily banned people based on his whims and privy, and he banned me because I constanlty referred to him as 'dysphoria' and 'dysmorphia' and preceded everything I typed out with 'meep meep' and then preceded by 'tbh no homo' because one time he made 'no homo' the board tag phrase, and he must've gotten sick of it fairly quickly so he permanently banned me and I didn't care enough to circumvent the ban.
the point is, no I don't know what you're talking about desu.
Does anyone have the picture with reject modernity chud with prussia profile name and scanty anime girls on it?
>>804063Big tiddy anime girls.
I've had a debt with a hospital for probably 4 years now that I refuse to pay. I will personally answer and hang up on every debt collector. If you're a debt collector, your job is immoral and you will be executed during the revolution. Also, while I refuse to pay my debt, let it be known that I absolutely could but refuse to on principal.
>むかしむかし、湖山池は広い田んぼでした。ある日、田んぼが全部、池になりました。なぜ、池になったのでしょうか？これは鳥取県の昔話です。
>むかし、お金持ちがいました。このお金持ちは、広い田んぼと、りっぱな家と、金、銀をたくさん持っていました。村の人たちはこのお金持ちを『湖山長者」と読んでいました。
>日本では春に田植えをして、米を作ります。長者の家では、『一日で田植えを終える」とむかしから決まっていました。毎年、長者はたくさんの人を使って広い田んぼの田植えをしましたので、田植えは一日で終わっていました。
>今年も田植えが始まりました。村の人がたくさん手伝います。みんな朝早くから働きます。長者は、今年も一日で田植えが終わると考えていました。
Once upon a time, Koyama pond was a rice field. One day, the entire rice field became a pond. Why did it become a pond? This is the Tottori prefecture legend. Once there was a wealthy person. This wealthy person owned a wide rice field, a fine home, and gold and silver. The village people called him Koyama-millionaire. In Japan, rice planting is done in the spring to make rice. The millionaire once decreed that "all rice planting must be finished in a single day". Every year, because the millionaire uses many people to achieve this, the rice planting is finished in a single day. This year's rice planting has begun. A lot of village people came to assist. Everyone started working at the break of dawn. The millionaire expected that the rice planting would be finished in a single day.
>その日の昼、近くの山から猿が来ました。お母さんの猿と子供の猿でした。一人の女の人が猿を見つけました。そして、『猿だ、猿だ」と大きい声で言いました。猿はびっくりして走り始めました。 みんなは猿が遠くの山に帰るまでみていました。 猿を見たのは少しの時間でした。しかし、仕事は大きく送れました。
>夕方、長者が田んぼに来た時、田植えはまだ終わっていませんでした。長者は青くなりました。「家の決まりは一日で田植えを終えること。これでは今年は田植えが終わらない。よし、お日様を戻して、夜になるのを遅くしよう」と言いました。
>長者は家から金のおうぎを持ってきました。そして、お日様に『戻れ、戻れ！田植えが終わるまでそこにいろ」と言いながら、おうぎを三回ふりました。すると、お日様がすっすっすっと高く戻りました。
>長者はみんなに言いました、「さあ、みんな、田植えを続けよう。田植えが一日で終わるように」。
On that day at noon, some monkeys came from a nearby mountain. A mother monkey and her children. A single woman saw the monkeys. Therefore, she loudly screamed, "There's monkeys, there's monkeys". The monkeys became surprised and started to run. Everyone watched the monkeys until they returned to the distant mountain. Therefore, work slowed greatly. By dusk, when the millionaire went to field, the rice planting still wasn't finished. The millionaire became pale. "Rules dictate that the rice must be planted in a single day. It seems this year's rice planting has not been finished. If the sun returns, night will proceed slowly" The millionaire retrieved a golden fan from his home. Therefore, he said, "Return, return. You must be here until the rice planting is finished" as he waved the fan three times. Then, with three powerful gusts the sun returned to on high. The millionaire said, "Saa, everyone, you can now continue planting rice. It seems the rice planting will be completed after all".
>田植えは一日で終わりました。長者はその夜、みんなを家に招待しました。みんなはお酒をたくさん飲みました。長者は歌って踊りました。みんながお酒を飲んでいるとき、外では大変なことが起こっていました。
>たくさんの水が長者の田んぼに流れて入ってきました。そして水は夜の間に田んぼを水の下に深くかくしてしまったのです。次の朝、田んぼはもうありませんでした。その代わりに、広い広い一つの池、今の湖山池がありました。
>長者の田んぼは全部なくなってしまいました。どうして水が出てきて長者の田んぼを水の下にかくしてしまったのでしょうか？村の人は、「長者がお日様を戻したので、神様が怒ったからだろう」と言いました。
The rice planting was finished in a day. That night, the millionaire invited everyone to his home. Everyone drank a lot of alcohol. The millionaire sang and danced. When everyone was getting drunk, something strange was happening outside. A lot of water flowed into the millionaire's rice field. Therefore, in the period of one night the field had seemingly become a deep hole of water. The next morning, the field had already no longer existed. In its place, a single wide wide pond, now Koyama pond. The millionaire's entire field became a pond. Why did the water come forth and turn the millionaire's field into a deep pond? The village people said, "It's probably because the millionaire made the Gods angry when he forced the sun to return."
FIN
The moral of the story? Capitalism bad or something idk.
>>804079I once had debt collectors over a magazine subscription that I got through accumulating points from an online survey site. I got a year a subscription to one of those lad magazines from the mid 2000s and I think I got a couple extra issues for some reason. They said I owed like 20$ or something I told them I didn't and after a couple calls they stopped calling. It was only for like 20 dollars so it was probably wasn't worth it but it was funny they were calling for such a small amount.
>>804544It's just animated softcore pornography dude. It's not that deep.
>>804545oh no what i posted isn't an example just a new series im watching lol
but it does always make me ask why does a girl living in a shitroom or smoke weed appear more attractive and free spirited than a dude. more like a tragic soul than a cautionary tale or a figure that makes you go eww
>>804546 Evacuee they draw the women to look as young and attractive as possible. And because of internal biases about gender roles that even leftychuds like you will rationalize.
A male hermit could make the most intricate nuances and you will still find him dull compared to a super hot nubile woman with little to no nuance at all.
>>804544Because you’re subconsciously ogling at them for their looks.
If it were an older lady or a butch, you’d probably wouldn’t find it as unique
>>804755It can't be AC because Euroids don't use that.
>>804755West coast of burgerville is pretty important too.
Trump prolly gon' die huh?
>>804816It also looks like they didn't include Texas
>>804079This. I have a three thousand dollar hospital bill when these mofos didn’t do shit
>>804878….and we're waiting..…
>>803157ah yes, Switzerland: the anomaly in the machine.
Most of the complaints about Boruto are kinda of exaggerated. The same flaws in Boruto can be found in Naruto Shippuden.
People complain about lack of plot attention to the secondary characters while over looking the excessive screen time given to Naruto and Sasuke in Shippuden
Hell, Naruto fans want Naruto and Sasuke to be the MAIN FOCUS in Boruto.
>>805301Everywhere is bad.
>>805301>>805303Everywhere is bad definitely rings true. Every place is either too cold or too hot, too poor or too expensive, too boring or too loud or whatever. There's always something people don't like about wherever they're from. Personally I think most people can never really be content and are always searching for that thing that will fulfill them but they'll never really find it. If you do find fulfillment it's usually because you gave up or got too old to do anything about it.
>>805313But why should I be content with staying in one place? If I want to move around, uproot myself every couple years, I should be allowed to do so. Right now I would love to move to Berlin or Hamburg, but I wouldnt be able to find a job there so I cant.
>>804768We got too cocky, simple as.
Does reincarnation start at conception? What if you get miscarried, do you just reincarnate again as the same thing or do you get to upgrade to a higher form of life?
>>806114i suck at religion lemme try it, take it half seriously
they got this concept called the gandhabba. the soul seeking rebirth that lands in a baby, basically the plot in most manhwa slop where the villain/hero starts his arc by turning into a baby in another life, same concept, basically the body's a vessel from a man and woman having sex, your mindstream just enters it forgetting about its previous life.
but, twist is, he keeps his karma from his previous life, which will later reflect on his current death along your current state of mind. if you died peacefully you move on to the next more favorable body, if you screamed and felt traumatic pain as you were aborted or died weeks into being a baby, it may carry that trauma into the next life.
and the part that baffles people who don't do buddhism, they don't even believe in souls, in permenant "you" that travels, There is no soul that reincarnates. There is a stream of consciousness that carries karmic imprints. ike a candle lighting another candle—the flame passes, but it's not the same flame after the 5th reincarnation..it changed
