2024.05.21 16:28 PatLad07 Realised I'm worthless

While growing up, I saw examples after example of poor Male role models. They were always stupid and presented as lesser. Yes, there were fictional heroes but their feats didn't seem based in any reality so didn't exactly give a role model.
Often I even heard how "Men are idiots" so often in my teens I began to believe I was lesser and I'm not even peak for my sex. It was defeating but tried to work hard on myself and find ways to combat it.
During my career and life I've just seen more examples proving why Men are lesser. Even my own Father turned out horrible. Needless to say, this ideology has plagued my head forever.
Today I have finally succumbed to the reality. I've become and example I hoped to avoid and feel defeated. I'm not longer living for me. I'm just playing the role others want until I expire naturally or can come out of early retirement.
Don't want anything. I know the reality now. Just wanted to write something down in a place as a warning to other who were as foolish as I.

2024.05.21 16:27 BLOOD__SISTER Using “Legitimate Criticisms” of Modern Day Women Characters Against Ripley and Sara Connor

Plot Armor: Ripley is cornered in the final act of Alien. The beast is confined with her in an inescapable escape pod. This should spell the end for Ripley but instead of killing her immediately (as it did with the other characters), the Alien sits back to watch her get naked, dawn protective gear and arm herself with the weapon she'll use to destroy it. With this scene in mind it's difficult to believe Ripley was 'written for a man or woman'. Like every horror movie's Final Girl, Ripley is unkillable, non-sexual and plot armored.
The Message: Sarah Connor explicitly hates men in T2. She reviles every male character other than her son--notably a boy, not a man. She regularly dehumanizes the Terminator who, to her, represents the apocalyptic inevitability brought on by the patriarchy eg, "men like you". The only time she sees him as more than a meat shield is when she concedes, to herself, that the killer robot would make a better father than an actual human man.
The Terminator is not talking about women when he says "it's in your nature to destroy yourselves" after watching to male children fighting, only to be separated by their mother.
Lack of Character Development: Sarah's arc doesn't resolve with the understanding that men are not to blame for dooming humanity or that they're even good in any meaningful capacity. A subtle head nod as she lowers the Terminator to his death is the best concession she gives. Sarah was driven by the destruction of everything Skynet. She succeeds in her goals without the need for personal change, growth or self-reflection. In the end, Dyson and the Terminators are destroyed, freeing Sarah of her apocalyptic fate imposed by men responsible for judgement day.
Ripley doesn't even have an character arc in the traditional sense: she simply overcomes a traumatic event. Her story doesn't illustrate growth or development--she just survives.
——
The 'poorly written' accusation, leveraged against most modern-day women characters, is a cope used to intellectualize vibe-based criticisms stemming from a certain audience's anxiety about changing demographics in media.
Blah blah blah..in 2024, Ripley and Sarah Connor would not be considered well written according to YouTube’s geek-pundit industry because Ripley/Connor exemplify the same 'bad writing' tropes used undermine Rey, Captain, She Hulk, Galadriel etc. All that differentiates them from the internet’s most hated is that they exist in an era when male supremacy in popcorn action/adventure flicks went unchecked. They’re appealing because, as women, they’re outliers.
The Sarah Connor archetype becomes a lot less appealing in a world where man-hating tough girls are status quo. It’s not about writing—it’s about male identities feeling treated by women protags. I implore the more reasonable amongst you to ask yourselves: are you really threatened by women in film?

2024.05.21 16:23 Creative_Waves Why is my sex so drive high, but my desire so low?

Please don’t read this unless you have a few minutes to spare.
I have a lot of sexual energy and desire for women, but don’t want to be in a relationship again or go after girls. Is there something wrong with me? (Don’t worry this isn’t red pill nonsense) 👍
I (25M) am currently trying to succeed in life and find a way to build financial and location freedom. I had a freelancing income that went to shit because of the country I live in, and now I’m trying to sort out some sort of sales role and find my way in life. Now about my question. I have been in 1 real relationship in the past and done casual dating, but that was only between 2020-2022.
Before that, I had been so invested in trying to build my career that I purposely avoided dating because I knew I didn’t have anything substantial to bring to the table (and hated my looks at the time).
Alongside that, I’ve had many physical attributes that I hate about myself I.e acne, balding hair, being skinny, overall appearance I don’t like, etc. I have been actively working to fix all that, and I have a bunch of things checked off the list, but some of the stuff just takes time.
Without explaining a lot of backstory, I don’t have any real family in my life and had a mentally abusive childhood. I don’t classify my life as that, but the few people I’ve told bits of my childhood too, said it was toxic and mentally abusive.
I’m definitely not an ugly guy (I’d say visually maybe a 6), and I’ve had a 1.5 year relationship with a hot girl that was madly in love with me. I was the one to walk away from that, and since then have had a few casual girls but nothing serious.
For the last year and a half I’ve been trying to sort out my life (finances and level up my appearance) and have purposely eliminated all dating and chosen not to approach women whatsoever. I feel like my time is running out in my youth because so much of it has been spent trying to win at life and make money and even when I have succeeded, I’ve eventually lost the business or income stream I have and go back to square one.
To tie in with my question, I am very healthy as far as I know and have an average-high sex drive. So naturally yes I do desire to have an attractive girl around (or something casual) but for some reason, I don’t want to go find that girl for myself.
I always try and analyze anything that goes wrong in life, and the best I can come up with is how I’m still not happy with my appearance and obviously don’t want to be in a relationship after the last one I was in.
Sometimes, if I hear a friend talking about their relationship or something, it makes me think about the natural human desire for intimacy and all that, but I don’t know if I am coldhearted now or just genuinely don’t believe I can have the type of girl I want.
I have always been getting through life alone and moved around a lot for work, so I don’t have any real solid friends. I am just very purpose driven and want to be the best I possibly can be. My biggest fear is hating my reflection and knowing I can do better in any area of my life. Honestly don’t know sometimes if that’s a good thing or not unfortunately.
I also know that men bring a lot of value to the table through income and reliability, thus I’ve been working hard to create that lifestyle for myself and since I’m not there yet, I think that influences kind of the switch to wanting to go after girls, since I know I’m not in a stable financial spot.
Some days I feel great and positive, other days I want to done some 30 grams of caffeine and be done with it all.
I appreciate any and all feedback 🙏

2024.05.21 16:22 Kitchen-Block7848 My opinion on the transgender versus femboy issue as a transgender person

My opinion on the transgender versus femboy issue as a transgender person
Hi! I am Aidan, a transgender man who is also a femboy. It’s been a while since I browsed Reddit, and when I got into my favorite communities again to get to know what’s going on… Kaboom! A big amount of Femboy subreddits are annoyed, pissed and tired of something: seeing breasts and female genitals in subreddits that are supposed to let only feminine men post pictures. I thought it was only occurring in this subreddit, but discussions are occurring in other subreddits too. The FemBoys subreddit seems to be the main topic of these discussions. This subreddit is a +18 place where you can find pornography of feminine men. If you know, you know. However, you can find explicit content of transexual women too. The femboy subreddit, a family friendly community where you can find pictures of feminine guys, and where +18 posts are strictly banned, you can find pictures and stories about transexual women too. Entire communities of femboys are standing up against these situations, and since I’ve seen people who are not transgender saying what is transphobic, and what should be transphobic, I decided to post my opinion in these controversies as a transgender man who likes being feminine sometimes. With that being said, let’s get into this post.
  1. Are transexual women the same thing as femboys?
Short answer: no. Femboy is a term commonly used on the internet to describe a guy who acts, dresses, and talks in a way that is culturally feminine. In the real world, “Cross-dresser” is the most used term to describe feminine men.
Transgender men can be feminine too, but maybe not in the same way a common male is, because the vast majority of our clothing choices are driven by gender dysphoria. I’ve always liked mini skirts, but my gender dysphoria didn’t let me use them, due to mini skirts highlighting the female characteristics I was born with. Let’s be real: skirts are designed to fit and highlight women’s bodies, but that doesn’t mean men and transgender men can’t use them too, of course. After four years of physically modifying my body to obtain a masculine shape, my gender dysphoria reduced to the point I can wear mini skirts without wanting to squeeze my hips to make them less noticeable, lol.
I forgot to say gender dysphoria is the distress we, transgender people, feel due to the incongruence of our biological sex and the sex we self-identify with. It goes beyond not liking our sexual characteristics, and it can manifest through wanting to change our IDs as soon as possible, wanting to be treated and recognized as the sex we self-identify with, and a strong conviction that we think and act the same as a person of our self-identified sex.
Being masculine, as a female, doesn’t mean you must be a transgender man; and being feminine, as a male, doesn’t mean you must be a transgender woman, because clothing comes and goes, but our gender identity remains the same throughout our lives. Gender and gender identity are biological, because it is in the brain. Female brains and masculine brains aren’t the same. The principal hypothesis to the reason behind transexuality is that we, transgender people, are the result of an anomaly during gestation. Transgender women have female brains and male bodies, while transgender men have male brains and female bodies. This incongruence makes us transition in the first place, due to, in my case, my brain knows it’s male, and can’t comprehend why my body is female. So, my brain craves certain physical and medical changes to adjust my body to a male sex. Transgender people probably are the product of an anomaly during sexual development during gestation, but it is what it is. We are born this way and we will die this way. However, it is important to clarify transexuality isn’t a mental disorder, in fact, it can be considered a medical condition due to its biological origin, and we need social and medical support to cope with the difficulties of our transition.
Once I explained how gender can’t be changed and how clothing can’t determine gender identity, I can clarify the difference between a femboy and a transgender woman. A femboy can be as feminine as a transgender woman, but he doesn’t change his ID, doesn’t modify his body to obtain sexually female features, and he always sees himself as a man in the mirror, even when he is dressing up all feminine. Femboys are men, and transgender women are not men. Yes, transgender women have a sexually male body, but they transition in order to make their male characteristics less noticeable and to obtain female features. Transgender women are not Cross-dressers, because crossdressers don’t medically change their whole body to appear feminine, and don’t want to do so.
Genuinely, I don’t understand why transexual women post in femboy subreddits. I hope they know being transexual and being a cross-dresser are two different things, otherwise, they may regret the medical changes they did to their bodies. Transgender women decide voluntarily to post these images in femboy subreddits, so it isn’t like someone is calling them boys or men. As a transgender man, I am not the same as a tomboy (masculine girl/woman), and I would never post any picture in a subreddit dedicated to tomboys, because that isn’t my place. These are the situations in SFW subreddits.
In NSFW subreddits the things are more controversial. There are a lot of transexual women publishing their content while the subreddit is literally called “FemBoys”. To be honest, I feel I can't judge them, at least not completely. “Transexual” is one of the most viewed porn categories worldwide (people like seeing breasts and a penis in the same person) and transexual women usually, for lack of better job opportunities, recur to sexual work. Because that’s how it is called. Selling explicit images on the internet is sexual work. They usually have to deal with misgendering (not referring to someone as the real gender he/she is) to gain money, or to refer to themselves as a lot of slurs to catch the attention of a potential client. I think transexual women publishing their content in femboy subreddits is another strategy to sell their images and videos. However, I don’t think that’s okay, because there are plenty of NSFW subreddits dedicated to transexual women.
So, that’s all for today, fellas. I hope this little post gave you a better understanding of this situation from a feminine transgender man’s perspective. Despite this community’s focus isn’t transexuality, I really appreciate the effort from moderators to make this place free of any type of discrimination. I thought of adding more points to this post, but that would make it incredibly wrong. Let me know in the comments if you want me to speak about another points. With that being said, bye bye <3

2024.05.21 16:19 GodessScarlett1 About me...

I have been into findom community for a year now in many different platforms. The only two things I love are getting fucked by my alpha, and humiliating all of you stupid betas.
My name is Scarlett, and I’m here out of boredom. I find it entertaining to make pathetic dogs like you whimper for me. I say dogs because all men are like animals. You are only good for sending beautiful women money, and nothing else.
If you are interested in becoming my slave, you must pay a tribute of $20 before approaching me because I don’t like wasting my time with disgusting piggies like you. I prefer to receive my payments through PayPal, but we can discuss everything and find what works for both of us.
A little about me: I’m a dominating woman who enjoys humiliating men. I go for extreme humiliation. I always set boundaries before all of that, but I will never feel sorry for you or go a little easier on you. I go all in or nothing! I also have an alpha in my life, and you will never be able to get a taste of me like he does.

2024.05.21 16:17 Responsible-Carrot32 I don’t want to be strictly a top

My (enby) girlfriend has been on Estrogen, Progesterone and Spiro for nearly a year now. I’m bisexual and have dated trans men and nonbinary folks in the past. I feel I’ve always had the issue of stating that I am a bottom and my partners stating they are switch or top, and then when we’ve been together long enough they say they are actually a bottom and want to have sex that way. When my girlfriend came out I didn’t mind topping her, and I wanted to be close and gender affirming for her. But she has had no interest in reciprocation or topping since coming out. It feels very one sided and I don’t want to not enjoy my sex life for the rest of my life. It feels very discouraging and it hurts that it seems to be a common pattern amongst people I’ve been with. Im not sure how to do about the conversation or if there even needs to be one. I love her and think she is the sexiest woman and human alive but I know in my heart of hearts that I do not like to be the sole top. It just feels like I will never find someone who I am sexually compatible with, and I don’t know what about me says that or seems like I want to top or be dominant.

2024.05.21 16:08 5partacus69 Ban discussion

I got permanently banned from sex and incurred a 72 hour account ban and I just wanted to get you all opinion on it since the entire process/encounter confused me greatly.
So someone had written that they were attracted to trans women despite having a girlfriend, and one of the comments was "Trans women are women". To which I replied "Trans women are men who now present/identify as women...bit of a difference, but an important one."
This led to an almost immediate ban. I say I don't understand why? The reply is Trans women are women. I say "Okay, sure. I don't understand why that statement and mine can't coexist? I'm still very confused as to why I was banned...if you have a reason?"
Their reply was "Your statement starts out with "Trans women are men..." and mine says "Trans women are women." --- The issue is in this sentence."
So of course I reply "And how did the sentence finish? 🤔" they say "It doesn't really matter since the former part of that sentence undermines the latter. You still stated that trans women are men." At this point I'm just feeling like🤦‍♂️ but okay, I continue.
So then I say "I mean...I feel I am speaking into the void here, and feel I am becoming actively stupider talking about this. But I feel it is important, because perma banning someone for what I wrote, seems insane and like there is some severe lack of reading comprehension going on (to which I don't blame you, it is a complicated and sensitive subject). The entire reason why they are called "trans women" is because they were men who now identify/present as women (which is what the rest of the sentence said, btw, so yes it does matter). Otherwise they would simply be called "women". So again, am I missing something as to an actual reason why I was perma banned?"
Correct me if I'm wrong...but I believe everything I have written in this whole thing is above board and factual? I guess here was my fuck up is I replied again saying "It's okay to admit it was a mistake and unban me anytime, I won't hold it against you." That probably irked whoever the mod was to no end (and it's understandable, but by that point I was still very confused as to the whole debacle"
So then of course shortly after I am banned for 72 hours due to "harassment". I, of course, appealed, saying something like "it's more like I'm being harassed than harassing, but who am I"
And of course the decision was "reviewed by a real person and upheld". So here I am, 3 days later, and I'm still confused. I understand Reddit is not a democracy and justice can't be expected, but this all seemed very strange to me that this sort of...power trip?...can happen so easily and with no actual recourse even if you're in the right. Or was I wrong and deserved the permanent ban and 3 day account ban? If I was, I'll accept it, I just want it to make sense.
Thoughts?

2024.05.21 16:07 Financial_Lie_8836 All the benefits are true

Female attraction, luck, increased libido and energy. I feel like i can conquer the world when im on a good clean streak. Started nofap at like age 16 i think, just turned 20 now and have been on it since then on and off. My longest streak back then was like 120 days, but with a couple of other streaks of 90 days, 60 days etc and everytime ive been on these longer streaks i feel like nothing is impossible in this life.
About 90 days ago i found out about semen retention and started taking it seriously. And that was like step 2, with nofap being the first step.
When i was on nofap i used to still be addicted to other stuff like energy drinks, nicotine pouches and vape, junk food and other stuff. I still looked at girls bodies, and said "dayuuuuuummmm" when a girl with a nice ass walked by just like all my friends still do. Now i cant help but to cringe when i see my friends do that type of behavior, like animals.
Dont get me wrong i will still sometimes look at a beautiful girl if she walks by and sometime admire her body, even tho i try not to. But it feels different from before. Its not in the animal way, now its more of admiring the body and beauty and i not as much as an object anymore.
(Yeah i know the old feminist "men see girls as objects" saying, which i have always hated before. But when im on semen retention i can not ignore how many other guys, especially younger like my age just see women as objects.
Bad habits
Now that i found semen retention i have easily kicked alot of bad habits, with energy drinks, nicotine and alcohol being the main ones that i felt was holding me back. (Been drinking energy drinks like everyday since i was 14, my main addiction). No shit i was feeling like shit and hated my life. I just sat at home fat, drinking energy drinks and jerking off. No shit i wanted to end it. Now i just feel disgusted when i see these chemicals and wonder why anybody would put them in their body.
Nowadays i only crave good natural food, and wonder why anybody would destroy themself and their body with these bad habits.
Life gets so much easier when you get more discipline in your life, alot easier. People seems to think that eating only good natural food is hard and that you are not living, by restricting yourself to only. But to me, i see people eating junk food and consuming substances, jerking off, that they are really taking the hard way in life.
SR is like a cheat code. I dont know the science behind it but all the benefits are true. Luck, stuff seems to just fall into place when on a good streak. People are friendlier. Girls come up and start conversations about random things, like at the gym asking for help with certain things or just saying hi when they walk by. People respect you. Old people seem to like u more and not see u as a thug. Animals seems interested in u. Things that i manifest become real. Almost all benefits that i read on here are really true.
I have gotten alot more spiritual. I go into nature and just become one with the nature. Observing.
Semen Retention has saved my life. Everything started with nofap believe it or not. But after hopping on SR i have leveled up and kicked my bad habits. I do still enjoy smoking weed sometimes, and i do still drink coffee. And if i do meet a girl that i really like, then i will have sex while trying hard not to come.
So yeah im dedicating my life to this practice, lets see what happens. Sky is the limit.

JAG CONVICTS D.C. DISTRICT ATTORNEY FOR TREASON. The UNITED STATES NAVY JUDGE ADVOCATE GENERAL'S CORPS CONVICTED U.S. ATTORNEY FOR THE DISTRICT of COLUMBIA MATTHEW GRAVES OF TREASON. GRAVES had VOWED TO REMAIN SILENT BUT ENDED UP SELF-SNITHCHING HIMSELF INTO DEATH SENTENCE. March 24, 2024.
Last week, the United States Navy Judge Advocate General’s Corps convicted U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia Matthew Graves of treason. Graves had vowed to remain silent but ended up self-snitching himself into a death sentence.
As reported in January, Delta Force operators captured Graves while he was vacationing at a Colorado ski resort. The Deep State pawn was taken to a holding facility and, later, to Guantanamo Bay for intake and interrogation. Predictably, he had refused JAG’s magnanimous plea deal: lifelong imprisonment in exchange for an admission of guilt and the whereabouts of retired and active-duty military personnel allegedly held at secret federal penitentiaries. Graves reportedly told investigators he only meted out the punishment and that if covert prisons existed, Merrick Garland had the coordinates. Then he was all bluff and bluster, saying JAG would eventually incur Biden’s wrath.
Two months of confinement in a six-by-nine-foot cubicle hardened Graves’ resolve, his disdain for all things Trump. He likened Trump to Apollyon, the Destroyer of Revelation 9:11, and MAGA to a destructive swarm of locusts.
“Where Trump goes, destruction follows. He’s the personification of evil, the destroyer,” Graves had said.
As he stepped inside Guantanamo Bay’s south courtroom, flanked by a pair of MPs, he shouted that his only regret in life was his failure to prosecute all “maggot” MAGA patriots in the country and condemn them to life behind bars or an eternity in purgatory.
“Spare us your fantasies, detainee Graves, and have a seat,” Vice Admiral Darse E. Crandall said. “We’ll make this procedure as quick and painful for you as possible.”
The Admiral introduced the panel, three Marine Corps officers whom JAG had empaneled to weigh the evidence against Graves impartially. Nonetheless, their eyes narrowed contemptuously at Graves as he seated himself and announced he would not participate in the tribunal.
“I’ll say now all I’ll say today,” Graves said. “I reject this tribunal. “It is false. I am detained illegally, and there will be retribution.”
“We’re happy you got that off your chest,” Admiral Crandall said.
He then approached the panel. “Detainee Graves, in all his splendor, has boasted about how his vital role in coordinating the nationwide prosecution of over 1,000 J6ers helped make America a safer country. What he never said, and what’s been proven by publicly available video evidence, is that the overwhelming majority of the 1,000 committed no crimes. They practiced their 1st Amendment right to assemble and express views through peaceful protest, the protest of a stolen election. He doesn’t deny these facts; he’s proud of it.”
“Damn right, I am,” Graves blurted. “They got less than they deserved. I wanted them all wired to the chair, trembling and sizzling as they fried. Anyone questioning Biden’s victory should’ve had poison put in their veins or have been electrocuted. And that means all of you! And when I leave here, I will ensure that happens, especially after this.”
“Easy now, detainee Graves. You wouldn’t want to risk your innocence,” Admiral Crandall taunted. You did what you felt was right, of course.”
“You felt their punishments didn’t fit their crimes, didn’t you?” Admiral Crandall goaded.
“That’s right. All of them, just like you all, are domestic terrorists and deserve a life sentence or death. But, no, I couldn’t do that. I was told 22 years maximum for insurrection and, in some cases—probation. D.C. is ours, not theirs, and we had the authority to hunt down those MAGA pukes. MAGA, MAGA, MAGA—I was sick and fucking tired of hearing about MAGA. And that goes for your military traitors, too; you assholes who still support Donald Trump. What is wrong with you people?” Graves said.
“We support the Constitution of the United States, detainee Graves,” the Admiral replied.
“I’ve said enough,” Graves said, but continued his reproval anyway. “The Constitution, the Constitution, the Constitution, that’s all I ever hear you people talk about, your undying devotion to a document that should’ve been burned long ago. We don’t care about your Constitution anymore. It’s a prehistoric fossil written by men who have turned to dust. If I’m gone, someone else will pick up the torch. How many have you killed, Admiral Crandall? You’re a practiced hypocrite.”
The Admiral ordered MPs to restrain and gag Graves. He showed the panel a copy of an email Graves had sent to FBI Director Christopher Wray in April 2021, which highlighted his hatred for and desire to eradicate the “January 6 insurrectionists.” His discursive jeremiad bounced between slandering and defaming President Trump and labeling MAGA a threat to democracy. “Any man or woman over 13 years of age identifying as MAGA should be summarily put to death; any man or woman calling themselves patriots should likewise meet a gas chamber,” Graves wrote.
In one paragraph, he ascribed President Trump’s charisma to witchcraft, saying Trump “put spells” on his friends, family, and supporters.
“It’s more rational than it sounds, Director Wray. Why else would a woman like Melania stay with the buffoon? Why else would half the country bow to him? Yes, they’re all nuts, but there’s more to it. Demonology,” Graves wrote.
“This commission doesn’t recognize insanity or occultism as mechanisms of defense,” Admiral Crandall said. “The facts are clear and indisputable. The detainee knowingly used specious charges to prosecute and jail innocent people. Many of them were federal plants who were prosecuted and released. The Deep State did a very good job obfuscating which were plants, but we also know that many law-abiding citizens remain behind bars. Detainee Graves committed acts of treason, and I ask you panel members to find him guilty of that crime.”
Graves shuddered in his seat, mumbling into the gag.
The panel unanimously delivered a verdict of guilty and recommended the death penalty.
Admiral Crandall assented, and he scheduled Graves’ execution for Tuesday, March 26.
I anticipate having information on Merrick Garland’s tribunal tomorrow.

2024.05.21 16:01 margheritinka How have you created an equitable hiring process? One job req's diversity stats

Curious if anyone has implemented any procedures or protocols to create a faiequitable hiring process? Ones that you feel have been particularly successful?
Our industry is male dominated and highly driven by internal close knit networks plus our hiring practices boil down to who you like the best (unstructured interviews) versus KSAs which is all a recipe for in group hiring and the results confirm this, especially as you get more senior.
We posted a VP role that got a lot of applicants overnight. Because I was using LinkedIn Easy Apply, I could quantify how diverse our pool was (I don't have access to do this when posting via our career site). Even though our industry is male dominated because of the client subject matter (sports), it's not like data analytics, tech or other niche skills. The role I posted was a type of senior account manager, very qualitative and can be learned by anyone.
I went through all applications and this is what I found:
1. Further Review - Suitable for manager screening (closely aligned qualifications) and in salary range =35 around 50% diverse
  1. On Hold - T2 applicants (loosely aligned qualifications) = 9, (75% diverse)
  2. Rejected - Experience not remotely aligned = 22, (90% diverse)
  3. Rejected - Excluded (salary well above range) = 96, (33% diverse)

2024.05.21 15:52 VitalNightLyfe AITA if I post my messages with my Father on Social Media?

TW: Abuse Long time lurker, first time poster. This is a complicated, long, and messy situation and I'm on mobile. Sorry. Gonna try and make this short. My(17f) Father(39m) is a complicated person. He believes your first response to misbehaving kids is to yell or threaten them. When he was living with us, he would beat me and my siblings for the smallest reasons. For example, if we took food when we weren't supposed to be in the kitchen. If we lied about anything. If we got bad grades (the oldest kid at the time was in 4th grade).
Every now and again we get into arguments about what he did to us during my childhood. He claims he "doesn't remember" or that I'm making it all up. Despite the fact that my older sister still has a mark he left on her leg over a decade later.
Last night we argued over text. And he ended it by saying that "parents are supposed to be friends with their parents."
I'm disabled. I have arthritis, and a lot of other issues, for both mental and physical. Every time he see me in person, which isn't often or for long, he hounds me about my weight and teeth. I spent Christmas with him in 2020, and for 2 weeks he keep telling my that I was fat and overweight and trying to force me to go to the gym.
I told him last night that it made me uncomfortable and made me feel horrible. He said that how I felt didn't matter. He said my comfort came second to his truth.
WIBTA if I post the screenshots of our conversation on Facebook and tag him?
Edit: He has other kids who go through the same. I just don't want it to get as bad as it did for me. I'm terrified to leave my room and have to force myself out of bed. I don't have contact with the "good side" of the family, but he does. He controls the narrative. My goal is to let everyone else know what's really going on, but I only have access/in contact with his yes-men.
Edit 2: Forgot to mention that if we block him/cut him off, he calls the cops on my Ma. He's done it 5 times in the last 2 years.

2024.05.21 15:44 The_A_Man__ (C)PTSD from watching online videos of police brutality and violence towards women?

Sick p0rn videos wherein dudes slap and punch women concussions are traumatizing, stories of domestic violence are traumatizing, but worse is stranger-violence on women (like the recent NYC trend of black psycho dude(s) punching white women randomly, with legal impunity), but the worst of the worst is police violence toward helpless defenceless women, and boy oh boy is there plenty in that category, and they too have legal impunity.
Makes one physically sick to think of how traumatized these women must have become of law-enforcers, of saying no (punching women if they resist arrest is very legal and encouraged and taugh to all cops as training), of touching strangers, of being drunk in public, of flirting with the wrong dude while drunk, of men in general, and even more sickening is the knowledge that they'd forever be brain-damaged and basically on a set path toward slow and painful death, and the most blood-boiling is the fact that these psychos never face any consequences.
Majority of cops are domestic abusers themselves, in fact, cops were the ones who resisted illegalizing domestic violence in the 80s the most when it was illegalized; majority of cops are psychopaths; there's literally no reason, none, zero, nil, whatsoever, to believe that cops serve the people, neither economical (they get their salaries regardless), nor judicial (cops effectively have impunity), nor moral (only psychos are attracted to job-openings for cops, the way things are).
Likewise, women who feel safe in public, in people's presence, assuming they're there to protect them, are wholly mistaken too; random street assaults on women are very legal, samaritans punished, and chivilry long dead.
Likewise, there's no reason for a woman to feel safe in a domestic setting either, because domestic violence is universally legal too (as in, the punishment for it is a slap of the wrist, if at all), and the numbers haven't changed much; it's still as prevelent as it was before.
Richard Wrangham's work on Chimps and human evol psychology is very disturbing and pessimistic too; there's literally no hope of things ever changing. Democracy is the root cause of all evil, but at least under it, there's the illusion that women are cared for and protected for, at least it sustains the fantasy of women being treated as first class citizens with basic human rights (all a lie); once the democratic house of cards built on fiat-fiasco collapses, like that Iranian girl-reddittor's prophesy, we'd be back to square one, the west would resemble the Islamic states like it did a few centuries ago, feminism would be long dead, feminists witch-hunted, and women would lose all their rights.
Trapped in a cycle of being angry, mad, sad, daydreaming of changing the laws, fixing the mess, realizing that it's never gonna happen, being depressed, feeling helpless, powerless, searching for some silver lining, binging on theoretical back-and-forth arguments, imagining an alternate society, daydreaming of changing the laws and fixing to mess to reach that alternate way of things, only to be depressed again, over and over and over.
If I could I would go undo all these memories, all this online trauma; funny that nude pics and videos are generally censored and blurred all over the internet, spoilers tagged and marked as such too, but these highly disturbing mentally traumatizing videos circulate mainstream freely as though a normal part of life, as though uncensored boobs are more dangerous to society than a sight of a woman punched and knocked out with her nose bleeding! Not surprising; we're descendants of psychopaths; most of kids' cartoon shows are pretty violent and vile too, and these kids are allowed and feel thrilled to watch boxing/wrestling matches, and with all this equal-rights-equal-fights nonsense, watching women knocked out by men is only a natural step forward; a sick desensitized society of psychopaths.
Regret is the worst feeling ever, and helplessness even worse... No way out; none.

2024.05.21 15:42 xoxo_kiki_dna Why would he (33m) tell me he will think about it when I (27f) asked him for commitment knowing we both wanted marriage?

We met 3 months ago. He was very attentive and kind, always took me out and got me gifts even tho we had just met. We slept together first month of knowing each other. We saw each other almost every day. He was always there for me if I needed him and he always picked me up from places if I was out late and drank or just wanted to spend some time.
Couple days ago I was out and didn’t attend a few of his calls he texted me that it was messed up and that I must’ve been busy. I told him my phone was in my purse it was crowded and loud, I apologized. Next day I was home couldn’t attend a couple of his calls, he said if I was seeing others to let him know he won’t bother. We met up shortly after and he was affectionate as always but I asked him what was up. He said I had never not picked up his calls like that I told him it was honestly just bad timing. He said he’s noticed another guy calling me and not answering and that he thought I was doing the same to him. I told him what happened with the other guy and why I no longer answer that guy. I asked him though … that if he doesn’t want me to see others and I don’t want him to see others why are we not in a serious relationship
He said he used to be the type to ask after a few dates but not anymore. He said he takes time to observe and learn first, I told him no issue with that but it’s been 3 months he should at least know how he feels and if we’re serious. I wasn’t asking him to marry me tomorrow , just to at least have some clarity about us. We both come from a culture of arrange marriage so I told him I will be married with or without him, I just wanted to marry someone I do know and like. My parents and I want marriage in the next couple years and he said that just because I’m on a timeline doesn’t mean he needs to hurry. I told him I don’t mean to rush him but by now he should know if he’s going to make me his. That men know early on, they don’t leave the woman they want walking around single. He told me all his friends are arrange married and it’s not that scary, told me a failed love marriage story. I told him I understand but if he’s not serious about me then he’s wasting my time. That if there’s anything about me that’s holding him back to tell me, he said there’s things he can’t say out of not wanting to hurt my feelings. He said we’ll talk about this but I felt he was bsing me, I got upset and left . He asked me to let him know when I get home I did, he said good night then next day nothing. I texted him saying that idk what to say after last night but I was pretty clear and I’ve been solid since day one and my conscious is clear. He never replied … I removed him off my socials a few hours later.
What could have happened here. What did I do wrong. Any advice please to help a broken heart
TL;DR: I wanted marriage he wanted marriage but when I asked he to be bf/gf he said he’ll think about it

2024.05.21 15:41 average_xx Repulsed by a male barber's touch. Pls help me..

So today I went for a haircut at a new salon. Pls read the whole thing before judging me.
Full disclosure : I have had a few bad/creepy incidents with men growing up (getting chased by a man at 16, getting my hips grabbed by a stranger as a child) which make me uncomfortable of touch in general, but more so against the touch of a man. I don't even like other women hugging me.
The barber guy was very polite, courteous etc. but , While cutting the sides of my hair , which barely goes past my jaw, his hand holding the scissor came way below and rested on my chest for a split second( above my boobs , more on the pecs area before the boobs begin, but below my collar bone)
Usually I am extremely aware of people touching me anywhere and immediately flinch away if am uncomfortable, but his hand was gone before I could even move away from it. I was expecting something might happen and I was ready to move away, but idk if I had a freeze response or if his touch was so brief I couldn't move before he did.
The first thought in my head " it's ok it's ok, he didn't exactly rest his hand on your boobs, his hands were closed around the scissor, don't over react", don't cause a scene".
Like at one point he tried to remove a piece of hair from my lips and I stopped her him and did it myself. I also prefer to brush the cut hair away from my neck and chest by myself too, so I had asked for the brush too, which he let me. He was extremely polite and courteous otherwise.
I just keep thinking of how will I ever be able to function as a normal adult in the world if I can't even aget a haircut without getting a small panick attack. I can't even handle the thought of a marrying a man , even though I am attracted to them.
I put on an extremely calm face and didn't react there, till I came home and I cried over this.
I have heard soooo many bad stories of Indian men (and just men) being so creepy , that I feel I have lost all my trust in them, even If my brain says it's irrational. I have developed a sort of paranoia of it.
I keep thing "what if the touch was intentional ? What if he enjoyed it ?" "Am I over reacting like a crazy bi*ch ?'"
How do I go back to normal settings and actually be able to tell a an intentional creepy touch apart from a accidental one ?

2024.05.21 15:39 JadedNeighborhood698 Boyfriend prefers AI porn over me

Looking for advice.
I (22M) have been in a relationship with my bf (23M) of almost 3 years. One year out of college and still together - it's truly been great, but of course, not perfect.
Important context - I am slim, Asian, and my bf is athletic, muscular, and white. Before me, he was very active on Grindr and is more sexually experienced than me. He would only h/u with guys who looked like him or had a very athletic build. This part of our relationship always made me feel a little self-conscious, since I am most definitely not that at all, but he's reassured me many times he loves me for all of me. I've also struggled my whole life with body image and self-esteem, which he knows. Took me a while to get over it, but I ended up believing him. Until I found out that he watches porn. A lot.
It's not the fact that he watches porn, but that it's interfering with our intimacy. He watches it while I'm at work, so by the time I get home and I want to have sex, he's not in the mood since he already got off earlier, which has happened multiple times. I've brought this up with him, and he reassured me that he will make more of an effort of placing more attention on me and only me. We talked about this last week. I felt better about us!
Then, a week later, as he was in the shower before our 3-year anniversary dinner, I found out that he has been using AI on his phone to generate naked images of men that don't look at all like me to get off. "25 year old hairy blond man with muscular build" is one of the images, and the others are very similar. I didn't say anything, nor have I yet about the AI images, but I feel very bad about myself. My boyfriend would rather look at AI images of men who don't look like me at all, than have sex or even watch some of the videos we've made together. He also still has not stopped watching regular porn - and you guessed it, the men look nothing like me.
I'm tired, I'm depressed, and I don't know what to do without seeming like I'm asking too much as a boyfriend.
Any advice?

2024.05.21 15:39 PriorAlbatross7208 How long after you complete an apprenticeship should you stay at the shop?

Just curious about everyone’s thoughts on this. Let’s say your mentor held his/her end of the bargain. You learned everything you needed to build machines and tattoo a wide range of styles.
They were fair to you. Didn’t harass or demean you. Minimal cleaning responsibility. In the beginning we’re allowed to keep 100% of the money for tip only tattoos(in the beginning they bring in clients for practice. If they get tipped I collected nothing.) And then switched to a 50/50 split for the first year then 60/40. All supplies included. Yearly cash bonus as well as a full week of collecting 100% rate of the artists choice.
My apprentice left after receiving his license 5 months ago. It seems like the new generation of tattooers does not respect tradition. I’m genuinely curious about people’s thoughts on this. When I came up, the idea was you worked atleast 2 years as a form of gratitude for the license and knowledge.

2024.05.21 15:33 No_Opposite_4614 Social Media feelings toward black men and gender war

I've come to notice on social media people's feeling toward black men in 2024 and these past years as of lately, like its actually been having a huge affect on my mental seeing it, not nearly as much as last year because I was genuinely depressed about it , and yes I have block or choose the "not interested " button to not see it and it stops for awhile and come back, even on videos that arent like that u can see the microaggression in them from the comments , I also blame myself for looking at them tbh,I only use Instagram and youtube and Pinterest, but mainly Instagram as of lately , for my time being there u see how comfortable people are being racist , non black people throwing the N word so casually, painting black men in bad light, enforcing negative stereotypes, seeing your OWN people saying some crap a non-black person be saying about us and saying its true or spitting such venomus shots towards the other, uplifting other races while bashing black men, showing internet stats to justify their hatred for us and more stuff making seem like were a joke ,its hurts me i see what there doing and the propaganda/adgenda their pushing , especially in the real world too ,like it makes me think when i see these things on social media do people actually think like this of me , is there something wrong with me, like is this true , why are they think were all evil and waste of space , crazy thing is my life has been decent lately I'm back in school and pump to be in class ,looking for a lil job, bday was 5 days ago, made some new friends ,going out, been going real slow but at a good pace with beautiful women who genuinely cares for me, i plan on asking for her to be my girlfriend in a couple weeks or when the heart says its time, i have a beautiful relationship with my beautiful mother and beautiful and very smart little sister, and have great people around me , but its just once i get on social media then BAM i remember and instantly forget how people feel towards us and how they are , why cant we just get along or at least dont say such hateful things , anyone has any advice what i should do with these feelings/ what to do? , i have come up with so far just get off social media and ignore people who talk like this , feel like this, think like this towards black men and black people period , i know the internet isn't real and shows just the minority , but why are they so loud and feel like everyone thinks this.

2024.05.21 15:31 Gospelway Bible verse - 2 Peter 3:3-7

2 Peter 3:3-7 - knowing this first: that scoffers will come in the last days, walking according to their own lusts, and saying, "Where is the promise of His coming? For since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of creation." For this they willfully forget: that by the word of God the heavens were of old, and the earth standing out of water and in the water, by which the world that then existed perished, being flooded with water. But the heavens and the earth which are now preserved by the same word, are reserved for fire until the day of judgment and perdition of ungodly men. (NKJV)

2024.05.21 15:28 HomeworkParty9853 Bisexual Rant :/

These are obviously all people ik, but the blue is my best friend and brother. What the fuck??? And for the record I am in fact out to both of them and they both are supportive (or so i thought). Idk this just hurts a lot. I only recently came out as bisexual and obviously ik its just a tiktok but its more than JUST that, yk? They are saying they hate something that I am, that is a part of me. And yeah, i probably shouldnt let this get to me but i hate how both of them are acting like im an “exception” to their hate (which both have said before, so idk why i didnt see this coming).
On top of all this, the amount of biphobia i see in wlw “safe” spaces is so gross. This is the exact reason it took me so long to accept I like both, and i love that i do but i hate how everyone characterizes me.
if i date/prefer women = lesbian if i date/prefer men = Straight
I cant just like both and it makes me feel so shitty, like let me live. And furthermore a lot of this biphobia is coming from lesbians; like what, you want some badge of honor for liking women more than me (which isnt even how it works bud)? So many lesbians ive seen act like jusy because a bi girl dates/only has dated men means they arent reallyyy bi. Ive dated mroe women than men, am i suddenly a lesbian?
I dont know, im just so tired of all this. I am not a lesbian and I am not straight. I love being bisexual and i really hate all the things that people assume about it and me, and the things my own family thinks.
sorry this rant is long
also unaware if this tag is the right one 🫠

2024.05.21 15:27 Regigigasfan99 Meeting of the Barons

Meeting of the Barons
(The four Barons met at their "outpost" near the dunes. Their vehicles sat outside, their tire marks fresh in the Wasteland sand. From the ruined walls of the church, the voices of the barons could be heard.)
Midas: You seriously want us to send OUR people to The Dead Lands!? You're insane!
Metro: Dead Lands... Bad... For... Little men.
N.B: I am aware, Metro. However, if we wish to even hope to see our old comrades, we have no other choice.
Midas: Or, we could just be throwing perfectly good gear away! I'm telling you, this WON'T. WORK.
N.B: ... I understand your concerns, Midas, but you do not get the final say in this. It is a group decision.
A: Well, we aren't deciding much by sitting on our metal asses, are we?
Midas: Let's just get this over with...
Metro: I... Not think... This is... Good idea.
Midas: For ONCE, a good idea comes out of his head! That place is called "The Dead Lands" for a reason!
A: Well, it's a tie then. 'Cause me and Noisy Boy aren't changing our minds.
(The Barons sat in silence for a while, the tension almost visible. Eventually, Noisy Boy broke the silence.)
N.B: What if... We perhaps "hire" local help?
Midas: That... As much as I hate to say this, is... A good idea.
A: (Smugly) Hm? What was that, oh mighty Midas?
Midas: I said it wasn't a horrible idea, bolt-brains!
A: Oooh, someones touchy!
N.B: (Sigh) Please, do not turn this into another shouting match.
A: Fiiiiiine...
(With that settled, the meeting was soon over. Each bot left the church... Except for one.)
Metro: ... What... I miss?
(/uw: Metro fell asleep during the meeting lol)

2024.05.21 15:16 Carmen813 Real Men of Genius - ED community manager

Real men of genius
Real men of genius
Today we salute the most thankless job in the simverse, the ED community manager
Mr. ED community manager
They say that stuff rolls down hill, but for you, there are no hills
The Earth is flat!
Day in and day out you work tirelessly to support a passionate fan base
What they lack in numbers they make up in volume
When sharing bad news you willingly run straight into the fire
I need more water
You compile feedback and advocate endlessly for the community
Sometimes I yell at the clouds
You've mastered public relations to a degree that leaves even politicians impressed
I'll be President someday
And most impressively you show grace and humility day after day.
What else can I do
So crack open a cold one and know this too shall pass Mr. ED Community manager.
Until the Afghanistan launch is delayed in June.
Mr. ED community manager

2024.05.21 15:10 Troublen421 Men and Women - How many and what catagories do you place the opposite sex in when you meet them (when you are single and looking), and what causes the person to fit in a specific catagory

See Title - those men and women that are single and looking - what catagories do you place the opposite sex in, and what causes them to be in a specific catagory? please be honest.
I'll go first:
I'd say in the end - about 1 out of 3 or 4 would fit the type I'd give a chance to pursure more. Going out and meeting new people - I frequently run into women that I'd give a chance with.
I'm curious to know - are others' similar? is it different for men vs women? how often do you meet someone that you think and say "yeah, I'd date him/her"
