thanks it's a dutch oven I've had forever. the pink stuff is "bacon ends" which functions more like garnish in this case since i try to keep my meat eating to a minimum

I like Ichirin, and I like Wriggle and Yuuka as a little pair, and I like Medicine Melancholy a lot, but none of them have anything on the raw visual appeal of Mizuhashi Parsee...
too many to choose from, but Fujiwara no Mokou has been one i've felt a strong personal connection to. a real "she's literally me" kind of character for me.

after 28 years of being alive i finally cracked the secret to soft skin. what they were saying about skincare products really does work. i feel like i look to most of the cosmetics industry with scorn? it's a little too much effort all told and it's best to not overwhelm yourself with tasks.(´ー`)
what is your routine? do you consider yourself pretty? do you bother with the make ups? how do you make it easy for yourself if so?

this was my experience for sure - i consider myself relatively diligent with hygiene. i wash my bed sheets regularly and do most of the things 'beauty influencers' say will give you glowing but in reality but it took some very specific incantations for my skin to not be perpetually irritated. so much of it is genetics...
>>3mrdvyyrkiq22
v true. it is a perpetual effort to craft one's appearance and even if u can learn to be comfy presenting a certain way it's a lot of effort. i think there is somewhere a nice middle ground in terms of effort v result, but i have yet to reach it.
>>3mrdvyyrkiq22
not saying it's necessarily the same for you, that discomfort might very well be due to a genuine discordance you feel with that kind of femininity. but nothing feels immediately natural to anyone, it always takes time and work for a way to be to become one's normal and discomfort in the intervening period is totally normal.
personally, i was using this sort of "this is not for me" reasoning as a way to cope with my anxiety with going through that period for a long time and it's set my personal development back by several years. but it's just how i am now and im very glad i was eventually able to make it through that.
this may or may not be the case for you, and it's totally fine if it isn't, but i want to make sure that seed is planted in ur head so that in the event that you are going through something similar to me my experience can serve you. (ftr im far from hyperfeminine and there are a lot of traditionally feminine things i dont do, it doesnt mean one has to go "all the way" so to speak)
>>3mqwicb3mt22x
i know what u mean i just see people do like a million products sometimes and i think basic stuff works better for some people
like obviously if that doesn't work it doesn't but i worry some people are overdoing it
>>3mrftz7ws7m2j
oh absolutely, even in the case that you have specific skincare needs (and that is most people, i dont know the actual stats there but neutral skintype is definitely less than half of people), they will be served by a couple things that best cater to your needs and u dont rly need anything more than that + moisturising + a healthy lifestyle.
skincare brands are kind of a problem here though (and it's even worse for haircare) because they dont do anything to dispel all the common myths around skincare and will even use them as marketing tactics (common one for haircare is advertising a product as moisturising when that is precisely what a haircare product shouldnt do unless it's for ur scalp, none of those products actually moisturise but they still say they do).
so for the average person that thought process that should work of trying a product that is advertised as targeting your problems, seeing it doesnt work as well as you expected, piling on another such product hoping itll do more, and so on and so on, doesnt actually end up working at all lol
it's only when u know exactly what active ingredient you need that you can really achieve that

old picture, used to find ghost pipes (monotropa uniflora) growing behind where i lived when I was in virginia
they're a parasitic plant so they don't photosynthesize or produce chlorophyll
this thread is inspiring me to look at plants more i should look around for interesting ones, anyone know cool stuff that grows in minnesota?

If there's any nearby: Fireweed, Northern Gooseberry, Prairie Smoke and Wild Lupine
Daucus Carota. The dark red floret at the center of the umbel is very visible. It made identifying these ones easy. They can be forraged for food, but these ones were roadside and likely contaminated with polutants.

thx for sharing that segment - i found many of the stills for this BOO(?) chara so im so happy to see the animation parts too - this artist has me by the balls - ive already known since midori I saw when younger - but i connected to their political nature this past two days... his work has strong messages, and he's brave to stand strong and be resistant to what he perceives as nefarious forces in the world - rejecting censorship and downvoting fascism - in my books honorable causes with tangible sacrifice -
im copy pasting this from one of his websites that resonates with me
Harada draws on thin paper. He outlines the paper with a pigmented water-based pen and then colors it with paint or design markers. This has been his consistent approach since his first work, "Weak Dinosaur-chan" (1976), when he was 14 years old, to the present.
Thin paper curves when colored.
When he was a lecturer at an art university, a student asked him, "How do I film curved paper?"
In commercial animation, the paper is held down from above with a transparent, non-reflective glass.
However, this increases the filming effort.
He also read an interview with an American cinematographer who said, "Placing a filter or something between the camera lens and the subject will, technically, blur the image."
To that end, Harada places weights of about 10 books on the warped paper for a day.
However, the paper still sometimes warps. Paper is as tough as a weed.
For this reason, the Kiryukan filming stand has low-adhesion double-sided tape attached to all four corners.
But even so, the paper is still warped.
However, this results in natural textures, noise and shadows, which leads to the assertion that the images were drawn by hand and photographed by a human being, not a machine.
The act of actually creating something with your hands has a positive psychological effect and has long been used in cognitive therapy and other methods.
when i was a kid, i remember being asked what i wanted to be when i grew up, and what my favorite color was. to the former i would answer "accountant", to the latter i would say "nothing" or "manila". they were the most generic answers i could think of, which was kind of a joke to me but definitely also some kind of performative (though sincere) ennui, with also some sense of resentment towards my environment. i think i was often frustrated and upset but too cowardly to face the adults in my life with outright hostility, so i'd just try to do things that would make them feel bad. later in high school i'd end up taking an accounting class, so i suppose at some point it stopped being a joke as i started believing my own non-answers in search of an identity. according to my mom, i used to be very rowdy as a child (eg my mom recalls one day where she was sitting in the living room watching tv and i stood in front of the tv with a lightbulb in each hand and smashed them together) but after the first day of kindergarten i became the quiet child i would be for the rest of my life. i often wonder what happened that day, but i have no clue. i think it's possible it was just a normal first interaction with becoming a social being (though, i was in preschool before and had a sister) and i decided or made the indecision to internalize and perform
do you still feel a pressure to conform or have you found a way out
>>3mr2j2dqu2c22
i still struggle with avoidant behavior but i've felt like less of a husk within the past few months. when i was 18/19 i thought i was going to escape my malaise with prescription drugs but none of that really turned out, i'm getting therapeutic treatment for borderline now which i think has helped. i also think pursuing irl relationships has helped me in some ways, as it's less feasible to maintain a persona that's contradictory with your mannerisms and relationship to your body and whatnot compared to online where you get to be an avatar that produces text, though obviously this doesn't mean there's no masks we wear in social situations, in fact they can be more subtle and insidious. but yes i think i've been getting better ＼(＾o＾)／
>>3mr2o6axeuv2o
you still have a lot ahead of you but it never gets harder when you've lived through your 20s. that was the hardest time for me looking back i feel like i didn't know how to do anything and i was just bumbling around and getting hurt
i feel like i've been able to work through most of my aspie issues and i'm a fairly functional member of society overall. i can get and stay employed, and i can make friends. HOWEVER i can't tolerate strangers at all. i find small talk exhausting, and i find that in most conversations i hit a ceiling. if i go any deeper most people just don't seem interested to continue or are not sure what to say, and the conversation dies out. some things that work with others just don't seem to ever work with strangers. i can't befriend them. if this is as deep as it gets, i'm not sure i want to?
i feel unfulfilled! are most people just uninteresting? where are all the vibrant people hiding? am i just bad at showing my good sides to others? am i really just unskilled at social life? do you have any similar anecdotes or issues?

This is what my grandma told me once: not everyone make their day, some people need their day made for them. As I experience it, A) not everyone wears their heart on their shoulder B) not everyone is driven by nerdy passionate things...
I also find surface chitchat unbearable...
>>3mqur2pnkr22x
but also, just having shared interests isn't enough for me, that can be alright, but I find i gravitate or, connect easier with certain people Im not sure - but they just bring something and if you both can bring something you can enjoy eachothers company - and it doesnt have to be a result of shared interests. like, stylists who attract stylists tend to have a good time.
>>3mquqytrte32z
>>3mqur2pnkr22x
when i referred to strangers i think i narrowed the scope a bit too much. i have this issue even with people i consider my friend. it is to a lessened degree of course, we get along. but i'm still an alien. i contort myself and nothing feels quite natural.
as a result, i look at envy with how many people are satisfied with what they have. and sometimes normie strangers, well something about their way of life seems enviable. i figured i should try. surely there has to be some way for me!
>>3mqupggfata22
>i can't tolerate strangers at all. i find small talk exhausting, and i find that in most conversations i hit a ceiling.
could you give us specific examples of these scenarios? like, people you've met, what circumstances you met them, and how the interactions went?
for me, i work at an VR amusement place, my job is like an escape room host where I brief people and monitor their games but beyond that I don't have to get very in-depth and in that circumstance, yeah, people generally don't go into their passions or interests even when asked and can sometimes seem disinterested in talking, but I think the situation that they're being engaged in and the dynamic between us plays a big factor. Contrast that with my younger years, where I went to a few house parties where people would just spill their guts about all sorts of stuff.
>>3mqushcwzyu22
expanding from what others have said, i don't think you're "missing out" on much of anything. most of the time, those strangers are in the same boat too. either living in the small sphere of people and things they connect with, or surrounding themselves with lots and lots of acquaintances, or somewhere between. i get how that yearning for connection can be, wanting that ephemeral secret to belonging that it seems like everyone else has, but i don't know. there isn't really one. we're all just kinda carving out our own ways to belong, even normies do it.
i still feel that FOMO pain sometimes too but idk. i have my wife. i have a handful of close friends. it's not much but it's more than enough for me.

around here its either lycra freaks peddling in the shoulder or dudes on chinese ebikes dipping between cars. it sucks cuz they go on the sidewalks a lot but theres rly no other option since going on the road is a freakin death sentence. ironically it feels safer on my motorcycle a lot of times than on my bike.
https://youtu.be/06_ggJCU_n4 Not Just Bikes describes "bike lanes" as car infrastructure, because they're add-ons to spaces that are dedicated to cars, and ultimately serve the purpose of making it easier to drive by not having to mind people on bikes/scooters. I think describing it this way is meant to reframe the notion of "streets" from "places for cars to travel through" to just "places". You can walk through a place, you can bike through a place - if there's enough room you don't need special structures to try and separate different modes (for the most part). The mode-separation infrastructure in my city is really shit; dense urban areas will have footpaths barely wide enough for one person, let alone the dozens who pass through, bicycle infrastructure is often just share-arrows or painted gutters that get cut off for on-street parking, so either risk your life on the road or twist between pedestrians
Basically yeah, sticking your bike somewhere that's creating an obstruction is shitty, but you gotta blame the game not tha playa
i think trains and/or train stations should be accommodating for bikes since people are riding their bikes to them, but i don't have enough context to know whether or not there was a bike space they were ignoring. i live in a small town where there's not many cyclists and i'll see people on bikes from time to time, sometimes their only option is sharing the road legally with a bunch of raised pick ups, SUVs, and semi trucks or taking the sidewalk illegally, so i don't really blame them for the rare occasions i do see them on the sidewalk, i used to do that when i lived in southern california, that town was surrounded by miles of farmland and had barely any bike lanes.
you have all passed my purity test sorry if it looked like i was being reactionary about bikes i was just annoyed <3 there is not designated bike place on the subway cars here but i would say anywhere that isnt blocking a door that is open is a good spot
