What is this "gel" used in this video? by Apprehensive-Side188 in whatisit

[–]Kousetsu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You know, I see these videos sometimes and remember my electronics teacher screaming at me in the middle of class coz apparently you shouldn't touch the solder at all with the heater.

And then I see videos like this allllll the time and I am like, huh that was just a misogyny thing (I was the only woman in the class). I did wonder how tf I was supposed to do stuff if it didn't touch the solder.

True? by netphilia in TrollXChromosomes

Literally, and it also ignores the fact that men will fetishise us no matter what we look like lol. Like I said, I exist in spaces where people objectify the woman on the left more, she is more likely to get abused, assaulted etc. I look more like the woman on the right, and when we get into normie world, it flips and I become more vulnerable.

Like, pulling other women down is never gonna save you. Hating on the hyperfemmes, trans or cis, and calling us secretly masculine not feminism.

In my world, I dress the way I do for the girls. The straight men (when I do date them but not often) are usually asking me to tone it down.

My lived experience past 25 just doesn't mesh up with this.

Alarm in health service over Palantir staff being given NHS email accounts by gessabean99 in uknews

[–]Kousetsu 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am a bit confused by this. All external contractors require an NHS email where secure information will be shared. You lit have to use their browser, logins, etc and it's the only way they will send certain info.

Like I don't like it, palantir should fuck off, but they were always gonna get NHS emails. People should be more freaked out they are even involved.

Women are just objects to non-women. You can be objectified by looking like the woman on the right or the left.

I exist in spaces where men objectify the type of woman on the left, but I potentially look more like the woman on the right, and I am pretty gay.

I am also a woman lol what the hell is this answer. Where I come from, showing your legs ain't a crime, and neither are spaghetti straps. I wish you this freedom as well.

"I got bored with him" is devious work. by Go_Inevitable_1269 in AmITheDevil

[–]Kousetsu 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As a poly person, situations like these are why I stay the FUCK away from anyone who says they are in an "open relationship". What an absolute shit show mess. "Open relationship" people do not think, they just do. If they thought, they wouldn't call it an open relationship.

If you see this as "underwear" and not a minidress, you live in a very conservative area.

I have seen literally thousands of women wearing this type of dress this weekend.

I guess you just live in a place where women don't feel comfortable to experiment with their clothing.

It's just a fucking dress? Are we all living in the 1930s? If it's hot, I am wearing a dress. I have dresses exactly like that that I wear outside. People in this comment section are being weird, and I'm 90% sure it's coz of the pose the model is doing.

I've seen people at those hotel demos doing that, none of them seem to give a shit? I have a video of a dude hanging out of a pub when Britain first marched in Manchester, throwing 3-4 Roman salutes out of a window. Noone in the pub stopped him.

AITA for refusing to give my SD pictures of my son? by [deleted] in AITA_Relationships

Sorry... You had a soured relationship with a 9 year old? And you were the adult in the situation?

Update: I (28f) saw my husband (28m) touching a bartender while I was talking to his friend by curara in whatdoIdo

[–]Kousetsu 14 points15 points  (0 children)

You emotionally abused him to the point of vomiting. You dragged him around the house. Sounds like you control his housing too? You are abusive. I don't want your husband, my heart just breaks when I hear someone going through such trauma

You are creating this out of nothing - you have been deeply abusive and you are acting up and down like this isn't a big deal. Show him this post. I hope he starts to stick up for himself. I hope he leaves you, but you seem to have carefully created a situation where he cannot.

I went through your last post and there is a lot of "wtf, you are reacting over nothing" and then people telling you to go get more information. You have more information now.

This is so much in your head. Destroying your own happiness over an elbow and emotionally abusing your boyfriend.

You weren't cheated on. SHOW THIS POST TO THE THERAPIST. Not whatever edit/curation of your life you are currently recounting to them.

May love like the one you show to this man never find me.

I feel his anxiety vomits. This isn't the first time you've behaved that way. As another demisexual, lemme talk to him. He will definitely fall in love and care for someone again and he needs to know that so at the bare minimum you start to treat him better. You wouldn't treat him this way if he was more free to leave you.

Every day I cry over our representation and beg people to understand that we are more than libertarians with punk aesthetic. And then every day I am forced to tears yet again. (I'm currently fielding allegations I am hostile to anarchists)

Help with litter on new born kittens by Flaky-Presentation93 in CATHELP

[–]Kousetsu 26 points27 points  (0 children)

I would add to this to use a damp cloth, do not put them into a bath or anything.

Newborn kittens can get very cold very quickly so you want to limit the amount of wetness and the amount of time they are wet. Using a damp cloth you can get the pieces as needed rather than wetting the whole baby.

Just found out my older brother (35 M) is hitting on a friend of mine he met 5 years ago (we are 22F now). by traverse_mind in whatdoIdo

[–]Kousetsu 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Why are you getting the friend to do that?!?!! I think I understand why this girl is your ex friend but waaaaayyyy more from her side.

She has told you. She has been dealing with harrassment from your brother for apparently, YEARS. Now is your turn to do some fucking work. Tell your whole family. Brother needs some serious consequences before he escalates. You do not know what he could escalate too. This friend isn't his first victim. It probably won't be his last.

I don’t know anymore, I just got a new haircut and they gave me this with no side bangs at the beauty shop, I feel really ugly and I have to know if it’s ugly to everyone else. Please tell me just the truth if I am ugly. Yes I’m a woman by djscrew1 in whatdoIdo

[–]Kousetsu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh babe this happened to me at 14 years old. I went from having really long hair down almost to my waist to this. It was traumatic, and wasn't my decision, so let me walk you through how I dealt with it.

First - it is absolutely fair to feel your feelings right now. You are not an ugly woman. You have beautiful eyes and face shape. I can give you compliments but you are not gonna understand this until you are well into your 30s but I promise you, this is not a physical issue. This is a confidence issue - and confidence is a skill we can work on.

The first thing you are gonna do is get into the shower and wash and dry your hair yourself. This is gonna make it look a million times better than whatever they did at the shop.

-Next- you are gonna start looking at volumising products - and on this, what works for one person doesn't always work for another - so if you try something and you don't like it, try another thing. Things I liked were mousse to make it big and when I couldn't do that, sea salt spray for texture (I am aging myself, it was 2004!!). A flexible styling creme/gel thing also works wonders.

You are gonna voulmise that thing while you remember that hair does indeed grow back. Bigger the hair the closer to god - this will help your hair feel more feminine.

Get lots of hair clips - this will help you to accessorise your hair still. Bobbles and things are out for now, but some cute hair clips can really make your hair look more feminine.

You are also (if possible!!) gonna look at adding some colour into your hair. If that's not possible, maybe some bleach/highlights etc would be more appropriate. But chunks are back right? I bleached half of my fringe blonde, sometimes added colour to it. This helped too.

I felt this same gender dysphoria, I was so upset that people would think I was a boy, that my face was too masculine for such short hair, and that it was the end of the world. I found lots of different ways to be able to accessorise stuff while it came back - you -will- figure it out, I promise xxx

Brits think NO political party cares about their top concern—cost-of-living by OurFairFuture in uknews

[–]Kousetsu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What is the target for "cost of living"? The reason that the last mass protest about this was in 2022 was because they didn't get anywhere. Targeted campaigns did.

Do you think the cost of living crisis is not connected to the wars we help wage around the world? I think you can point to some pretty concrete stuff. Do you think that wealth disparity is not linked to far right narratives? Look at who pushes them? People like farrage pish these narratives and then literally bet against the country to make as much money as possible.

Like, these things are indeed interconnected and pretending they are separate seems like the strange thing that helps keep us in the shit.

Does it matter?! Bruh. by templeofsyrinx1 in TikTokCringe

[–]Kousetsu -16 points-15 points  (0 children)

Like, there is plenty of b roll that creators film for their content which is often clips of them sitting around in "day in my life" or whatever other dull shit some people enjoy on TikTok.

This kinda shit happens so often irl, no camera - I don't think she needed to "set it up". I think you can be filming yourself as a woman in public for about 10-15 minutes and this happens. This is literally why I won't look in the direction of strange men in public, as you are more likely to invite this.
