  • I think when women self identify as “bimbos” these days they’re usually referring to the purposeful reclamation of hyper feminine aesthetics, interests, and behaviors and not so much the original pejorative. It’s an aesthetic choice. The aesthetic is frequently referred to as “bimbocore” Examples would include lots of pink, heavy makeup, heels, false lashes, bleach blonde hair, etc. It’s sort of a subversion of patriarchal beauty standards since the intent is self expression and not conformity.


  • I’m also a bimbo, and I’ve decided that if I get plastic surgery, it’ll be only for me and nobody else. I ask myself if I’d still want x surgery even if nobody else would ever see me again. Not that I’ll probably ever have the money for surgery, but I think it’s a good way to test whether surgery is the right option. I’m all for body modification if it’s for self-expression.


  • I don’t understand how this is a controversial opinion, but maybe parents should actually parent their children instead of expecting the Internet or the government to decide what their kids should see for them? Maybe talk to your kid about safe and ethical sex, the dangers of porn addiction, and not to take anything away from pornographic content instead? Maybe we shouldn’t be giving children smartphones and tablets with unfettered internet access in the first place instead of spending time with them? Wild concepts I know.


  • Definitely this. When things break it makes me feel like I’m going to have a full blown panic attack, even though I’m now able to fix it. Same with wasting food. It makes me feel like I’m going to cry if I have to throw leftovers away. I’m also psychotic about saving money now. I spend money as if I was still living paycheck to paycheck even though I’m not and then save the rest of it.



  • I work in plasma, and deferring donors is by far the most difficult part. I had to send three people home just today for having out of range hematocrit. The look of devastation on their faces when they find out they’re not getting paid nearly brings me to tears every time. Sometimes they get angry and yell at me, and I just let them do it until they tire themselves out because I know how desperate they are. I’m just thankful that I’m primarily a lab tech and don’t have to deal with the donor side every day; I don’t think I could take it psychologically.





  • I loath the modern obsession with minimalist, utilitarian design. Everything is just a white, black, or grey slab with no artistic thought put into its form. Buildings, homes, cars, clothes, electronic devices. It’s almost like a capitalist version of brutalism. Even the design of user interfaces is usually a pile of flat, washed out rectangles now. It’s like the soul has been sucked out of everything we make, reduced to it’s most basic form. It can feel anti-human at times. Like the world has collectively decided that beauty is a waste of time.

    I’m over three years and am just now seeing wispy baby hairs showing up in the corners of my hairline. I never really had a receding hairline though, just a more “masculine” shape with square corners. I solved the problem by just taking the plunge and getting bangs. Now I virtually never see or think about my hairline at all.






  • I believe that mandatory military service is absurd. Nobody chose to be born in any nation or under the jurisdiction of any government. No one else should be be obligated to support or fight for the ideology or actions or even the right to exist of a government they have effectively been assigned to by complete chance. It completely ignores the right of individuals to have their own systems of belief about what is morally correct.

    For example, I am largely in agreement with Buddhist philosophy and only support violence under strict circumstances. I was born and currently live in the United States, and I would gladly go to prison or be executed over directly or indirectly being responsible for the suffering of others at the request of my government. Everything my country stands for is antithetical to my very strongly held beliefs about what is right, and I would proudly label myself a traitor. I believe that if you can’t find enough volunteers to fight for a cause, then maybe that cause isn’t actually worth shedding blood over.
