Found out today that the little fabric store that I go to is permanently shut down, the lady who owns it passed away from the coof.
It really sucks because it had everything you needed and the employees where very kind to me.
The Joanne's is out of the city and the other fabric place is overpriced and only has a very limited selection despite the size of the place.
It just really sucks

A lolita I follow on instagram and whose coords I really like just bought a new kitten. Yay, kittens are cute! But, the said kitten is a scottish fold. Scottish fold cats suffer extreme pain their whole life because they all have the same mutation. I am debating about messaging them about it, but the truth is of they googled scottish fold even one time, they do know it and willingly got a cat that is sick. I think it is animal cruelty and now I am torn if I will just ignore their cat posts and continue following them or to unfollow them completelty :(

On Facebook I saw a friend from middle school post about the riots saying that she doesn’t think they should be violent, and that we don’t need more people dying, that not all cops are bad people, that we shouldn’t be protesting in large groups during a pandemic, etc. I agreed with every point she made, but I knew my friends would disagree completely and possibly think less of me for liking it.

I don't expect her to do anything. If she knows her kitten has a life long illness, that will cause inevitable suffering for the cat for as long as it lives, and still bought or adopted it she is pretty selfish. I just have a moral dilemma for my own actions: on the other hand I like her coords but I don't want to support someone who gets an animal that suffers in pain. I guess I just wanted to vent somewhere. I think I might just keep following her, if the cat keeps showing in her ig I will unfollow her eventually.

Decided to look and see if there was anything good on wunderwelt now that international shipping is starting to flow again. I ended up buying a dress in a colorway I didn’t want but don’t mind owning...for more than retail. I feel ripped off by wunderwelt, but I’m still ok with the purchase. The actual colorway I want doesn’t come up very often, and this one suits my wardrobe better. I mulled over it for 3 minutes and after I clicked confirm, I feel scared. I took a huge break from buying anything so I could build my savings. Ever since rona, I’ve actually been able to save even more money so I decided why not treat myself to a few new things. This dress pushed me over into $1k spent on lolita and I’m still good, and need to stop now. But idk if I can...

however, we do have a bad apple that got reinstated. they used excessive force on a black minor who was 16. physically stomped/broke her arms because she was crying and wanted her mother. she failed to yield at a stop sign on her bicycle. partner reported the incident and was fired, but the union ultimately disagreed. after a year paid off the force. their partner had to leave for another department because of repeated harassment by the union.

there's a happy ending for the minor. she's going to university in the fall to study CS. she won the MLK scholarship. her parents are engineers. i attended the ceremony to make sure the event doesn't get out of hand.

Point is, the cosplaying community in general is so fucking hypocrite and cattle-thinking that they're doing this solely out of social pressure.

I’m not an American, but even people on my country demand others to show support for riots and donate to charities.

Paying some organization that will do whatever with these funds and supporting riots that do nothing but ruin more people’s lives is not what I want to stand behind, nor is stealing and burning whatever that’s on the angry mobs way.

Another day I thought about the person that was nice to me 8 years ago and that I've been thinking about regularly and occasionally stalking since.
Didn't really have any strong feels about that today, but felt like sharing it when I thought about it earlier.

One thing I can think about is all the people I met and never met again, or the people I saw on many cons and haven't seen in many years. I wish I could be friends with more of the people.

Anyway, something completely different is that I really don't like the cosplay community. I'm still in the 2000s and early 2010s mindset, which is completely incompatible with cosplayers today.

>> No.10406685

nayrt but like, the ones that are alive could just be adopted out. Not sold for thousands of dollars, perpetuating the sale. There are some pretty simple and obvious solutions.

1. require scrutinous licencing to be able to legally breed animals
2. regulate the sale of bred animals
3. ban breeding of animals whose breeds rely on detrimental mutations

There will still be backyard breeders but if laws are in place about who can breed what animals, it's easier to prosecute those who use poor breeding practices.

There are millions of animals euthanized because they can't find homes. There's no reason to buy an animal bred for aesthetics when there are so many loving animals waiting for a home.

As long as people like the scottish fold lolita exist creating demand for designer cats, the breeders will continue to breed them. It's not selfish to adopt one from a shelter or if someone can't keep their pet, but is selfish to seek out a specialty breeder and support the industry.

People aren't going to stop breeding animals and that's just a fact of life you have to accept. You need to choose your fights to pave the way for future generations to hopefully change attitudes about breeding so that it can stop outright. Acting like a clown isn't going to do that.

How do people get included in things like cosplay groups, collaborations, or activities with friends without inviting themselves along or crashing the party? It seems like my friends make plans to do things with each other but I don’t ever get invited.

When I invite the same people to do the same things, they accept the invitation and seem to enjoy doing it, so I don’t think it’s a matter of me not being liked, although that could still be the case. I feel less like reaching out as time goes on, though, just in case they’re only accepting my invitations out of obligation.

A mix of both. I invite the people I click with the most closely, or who I already know have a knack for that particular genre of costume or series. If you're not super close with them, then that's just a natural consequence of people's thought processes. It isn't really malicious or inherently exclusive.

That said if I had a group and a friend asked to join, personally I would be thrilled. If I asked a friend if I could join a group and they gave some reason that sounded like it was just to exclude me, I wouldn't want to stay friends with them anyway.

It's really not something with a simple answer, but try to hone the art of not giving a fuck what people think of you. Be genuine in your love of those things, invite others to yours, be passionate when it's a solo thing, and shrug off the reality that most people have a clique just naturally, and that's ok.

All I am witnessing in my local cosplay community is fights over what characters mean (specifically X-men and its character Rogue), because apparently you cannot cosplay her if you're i nthe right-wing spectrum. People have grouped to make big texts indirectly attacking this one right-wing cosplayer, basically bragging that if you are right wing and you cosplay X-Men you didn't watch X men correctly, blah blah blah.

At this rate when the conventions go back people will literally punch each other on the con floor. I always knew there were drama everywhere and socially inept/assholes/retarded people making the community a hassle to be in, but this? People grouping up to attack someone that didn't do anything but belonging to another ideology, justifying it with another ideology and also because of non-proved harassment the right winger supposedly did. Is that right?
Where are we going to go with such madness, rage, anger, cancel culture for absolutely nothing (for example, the attempt of cancelling done to Adam Driver because he served as a Marine 10 years after Star Wars The Force Awakens)? How conventions and other entities related to cosplaying will react to these new elements?

Is cosplaying going to become a 'careful to not step in eggs' activity? I honestly feel like either giving up cosplaying at all or doing my own thing and not associate with any cosplay group at all.

Even if the knee on neck hold was justified, they kept on him after they couldn't find a pulse instead of letting off and trying to resuscitate him. The department fired him that day because they knew he was in the wrong and didn't want him to receive any protection from the police union.

this is what pisses me off the most. this is the news story that gets posted. this sensational lark. we all know damn well people are murdered like that every day. but the media always reports on these felons and criminals to start a reaction and the black community gets played. there's a reason these high profile reports are always on victims that people can blame and not law abiding black citizens. it's a conspiracy and everyone is getting played.

Also black women get far less coverage. Ones who have done literally nothing and even a child in the past murdered in their homes by overzealous police with the wrong house or escalating to deadly force unnecessarily (Not just Breonna Taylor, other recent and older cases exist).

Although on the note of the news covering "criminals", even if the people killed had a record, it doesn't immediately mean those people are violent and the penalty for those previous crimes or the one they are accused of committing is never death, and the people who've died aren't properly tried even if they were breaking the law. And yes white people have been murdered similarly by the cops and my response to that is that while blacks often get targeted more, we should be mad about the "white on white" police brutality issues too. Videos of agressive officers beating the shit out of people and maiming/permanently injuring even non-protesting bystanders and media personnel with "less lethal" methods of all races indiscriminately should be evidence there's a problem with the system that should be addressed.

right, but the fact of the matter is people being criminals in any sense makes people feel better about writing them off as victims. things like "why are the protestors so worried about a criminal?" get brought up just as much as people angry about looting. neither of those things are valid concerns considering how much this happens, but the media is reporting these kinds of incidents specifically, cherry picking and hyping them up. it's not an accident. it's basically bating the black community.

I'm nearly 32 and im starting to feel awkward about my age. I feel like I'm still clinging to kawaii uguu anime fantasies and I need to.. move on, find something better to do?

I've had a lot of the same interests forever and feel like I'm stagnating and need to do something with myself besides follow 20 year olds and fantasize about having a kawaii bedroom and posting cutesy pics on Instagram. Literally nothing stops me from doing these things btw, I just feel torn between realizing posting these things won't make me happy but wanting to do it anyway.

It's not like I've totally stagnated as a person, I have a career, a relationship, I have other interests and stuff but part of me is still stuck in 2010 and it just feels weird.

No they actually don't, the truth is there is just more coverage with them. Make it seem like they are being target more often causing an outrage and big money time for news media. And giving people with a social media platform more attention to speak out bringing in even more big buck. And all the supposed victims, yes you guess it right the go fund me goes straight to them plus of minus the fees (plus gov gets a cut and some of the funds go back to the cops they "supposed to fight agents").

the state of capitalism has 30 as the new 20.
30 is when you should be moved out, have a job. its unrealistic to do these things by the time you are 20. Not to mention, people act like 30 year olds look like 50 year olds.
The reality of things is the 30s are just your 20s now, but with money this time. If kawaii uguu anime stuff makes you happy, keep enjoying it without worrying about your age.
if it no longer makes you happy, drop it and try to find different hobbies. Most people who say women shouldn't dress cute or do ___ past 30 are just r9k neckbeards, and those arent the type of people you should let get to your head.

A part of me is stuck in 2010 too, but hey, its what keeps me happy. I do cardio by doing weeb dances to the hare hare yukai. I too have a career, a relationship, and other relationships. why should I drop what I love f it makes me happy? and why should you?

As much as there are nods to political moments and other movements (such as the anti vietnam war - George Lucas has told people about it when he was promoting the prequels), you don't really get to 'use' such knowledge because in the universe the stories play in, there's their own politics and other movements that kinda foreshadow, for cosplayers and people who discuss it, the m,ovements and politics they were based on.

If there were events going on I doubt people would be bickering each other on Twitter. Technically speaking i'm in the center and i've never been bothered by anyone about my positionings.

Spot fat reduction is a myth. You will not burn fat off of areas by working those areas out. Your body has a predetermined set and order of areas it will store and utilise fat.

Man, I'm in a similar position but my experience is the exact opposite, I've had more attention from young women in the few years since turning 30 than I've ever had from any group of women in my life.

The thing, though, is that this came at a cost. He never knew the love or affection he should've gotten as a puppy. He was kicked and neglected to make him strong so he could do his job well. And that puppy is still inside him now and he's so hurt and so sad and so lonely and all he wants is to be petted and cuddled and told he's a good doggy.

The big German Shepherd, though, is terrified of this. It goes against everything he stands for to put the burdens of his own past onto somebody else, and he's so afraid that if he ever gets what that puppy wants he'll lose the dog he is now, the dog that can protect the flock. He thought he had it once and left his flock for it but the owner that seemed kind and gentle at first quickly turned into one that beat and screamed at him constantly and didn't even let him see his flock, and when he finally, after years, worked up the nerve to escape from this terrible owner he came home to find his flock decimated and his family in ruins.

Now he's even more certain of his role in the world. He's suspicious of new potential masters, and can't escape the guilt of leaving his flock behind to be torn apart by the wolves. However, that puppy is still in there, and it's still so sad and lonely, but the big German Shepherd, more than ever, has been so hurt and traumatized in his life that even a gentle hand that comes to pet him will be bitten, and he simply doesn't know how to change this.

I had a really fucked up childhood and then a very abusive 5 year relationship in my 20s. I left that relationship with a badly broken heart and a completely destroyed sense of self-esteem and haven't had sex or a date in the seven years since. It's been so long since I've had physical or emotional intimacy that I no longer feel capable of doing them properly and the anxiety and guilt that come from that keep me completely crippled when I get opportunities.

>is 7/10 high?

Are you retarded?
On a /10 scale, 5 is your average. A 7/10 would mean in the upper 30th percentile of all people.

Most people call themselves 7/10 because it's low enough that people won't argue lower since it would be hurtful so their ego stays intact (unlike a 9/10 going to an 8 isnt really much loss) and it's not too high to be seen as bragging. Most people want to see themselves as above average but they also want to see themselves as humble so 7/10 fits that nicely.

I can imagine that the spaces will be the same but conventions will value local cosplayers much more because they can pay 20% of the cash they pay to an artist, and won't have to spend cash for his stay at the country. Also, shops will only work in delivery schemes... cons as we know - with waiting lines everywhere - are over for now.

Damn bro, I'm really sorry to hear that man. I don't have any great advice for you that wouldn't need more information on your situation, but at least getting out of LA would be a start yeah?
Look, you don't have to expound on your life if you don't want to, but are you doing all the right things at least? Y'know, lifting, engaging in non-gendered IRL hobbies, maybe seeing a psychologist for your intimacy issues? Obviously not all of these may be financially attainable for yourself, but I know some of them could be a start.
I don't want to spout platitudes at you or anything, but those should still bring you up to a workable baseline if you haven't been doing them. It might be difficult to do some with Kung Flu and all, but at least getting a plan together would be helpful.

Yeah there's still time tho. Right now you're looking at NYC Suburbia housing prices that are only half an hour from the city center, as opposed to the highway robbery that is any major metropolitan area in california. My rent hasn't gone up in a year and a half and condo prices are as low as 110k

sorry man
its been 2 years since I recovered when I realized I want to spend the rest of my life with her but we both realized that it's the way we both feel, we don't want to get married for it (that and the costs for doing that is way too much)
technically the trip to Japan was supposed to be the "proposal" instead of buying a ring and so on
I don't think I will ask her to marry me until I'm able to finally find a stable enough job and home for both of us to be happy in

Damn I guess you guys saw that post I felt stupid about and deleted.

Yeah, it really has been seven years, almost to the week. Broke up with my ex just before AX '13. I've met girls who were obviously interested in me and trying to get me to make a move, and I've even been asked out a few times, but whenever I get close I feel like I'm gonna throw up.

A lot of it for me is this particular feeling that I just can't possibly be desirable or attractive and particularly that any kind of expression of sexuality is going to shock and horrify people. I imagine that's the result of a mix upbringing and how screwed up my last relationship was, one thing that really didn't help was that my ex and I had very different tastes and I was never really able to give her what she wanted, nor did she have much interest in what I was into and in fact made it clear that she though my fetishes (which are actually pretty mild and vanilla) were disgusting and would berate and degrade me any time I asked her to do anything.

For what it's worth, though, I DO feel a lot better about things once I've really gotten to know somebody well enough to feel comfortable with them, and I've had a few female friends where I felt like I could have, but they haven't been interested.

I have generally been working myself a lot but the pandemic has definitely been a major setback in a lot of ways. A lot of what I've been doing has been aimed at getting out of CA but that's also been pushed back because of it, probably by a couple of years, and that's really not helping my state of mind.

Covid 19 had through a long domino effect disordered my eating habits. I have a hard time stomaching more than two meager meals a day nowadays...
Now I'm grateful, in a rather twisted way, that a childhood friend had to battle being an ana-chan during our teens. I've seen the methods used to re-make your hunger when you're at the bottom. I'm nowhere near as bad, but I still realise I have a problem.

I will try my best to turn this bad behaviour around. More meals each day ought to help me get back on track!

I feel you anon. I had to put down my childhood cat who I got when I was 7 about 2 years ago now. Still think about him everyday and it still makes me cry to remember seeing him go. He didn't deserve to die but he was old, he was in pain and he couldn't be the independent cat he wanted to be.

It makes it worse than my cunt of a father has all the pictures of him and refuses to give any up despite having always hated and abused the cat because "He was just as much my cat as yours."
