Went to the second round, got told I was 1 of 4 selected amongst hundreds and the interview went really well. Found out later on this week if I get the job.

Sounds bad, but I live rent-free. Bless my significant other. So no worries there. Although it's pretty disgusting that in my area, maximum unemployment benefits don't even cover 50% of rent costs. (And I actually have the maximum benefits for my state.)

I guess I have the luxury of watching how the vaccine plays out. Just sucks that I can't get it even if I want to. Which means I'll probably stay unemployed for as long as the virus spirals out of control because I don't trust any businesses that aren't WFH to be safe.

I mean clearly ayrt is trolling but have you never researched anything about bulimia? Lots of mias abuse lax. Telling them it is pointless to weight loss does not compute for them because it's a mental illness.

And if someone is suffering from any form of restrictive ED, your digestion tends to get fucked. I'll go like 3 days without shitting, but I still eat small amounts in those 3 days so the number of the scale goes up slightly sometimes, which is triggering and then I'll take lax so I can take a giant dump and see the number on the scale go down.

I’m feeling really sad about the future tonight. It’s honestly so dumb and selfish, but my two best friends who are a couple casually mentioned wanting to have kids. I’m not really a kid person myself and up until recently they always told me they never wanted kids either. It was just nice to think that as I got older I would still have friends my age who’s lives didn’t revolve around children and we’d be able to hangout anytime. I’m just very very bummed out now. I do still have other friends who say they don’t want kids and those people are aro/ace so they seem more likely to be serious about it, but hearing this stuff from my closest friends is depressing the hell out of me

I think people with kids see children (or at least theirs) the way most people see cute animals on the internet. They are inherently cute to them because they're vulnerable and dumb and/or theirs so they're very proud or sort of excited when they do even the tiniest of things.

Maybe it's the shame of feeling like A BASIC BITCH for falling for Elizabeth Bride of Death, and because I SUPRESSED MY LOVE FOR A FUCKING DRESS in a vain attempt to feel special. When I finally realised I wanted it, really really wanted it, I find my preferred cut and colourway sitting on LM, nwt, for about the full price of it in store. Why didn't I buy it? Why didn't I just smile and nod, press purchase and fulfill that dream?

It's going to be relisted for the sixty eleventh time soon. I'll buy it, just you watch me.

Friend of mine knew I was into lolita fashion and asked me for advice on how to get started. Spend like 2-3 hours telling her about all the different second hand stores, helping her figure out substyles she likes and the brands associated with them, even tell her how to buy new if that's something she's interested in. She sends me a message the next day, "I just put an order in with Milanoo! Thanks again for all your help anon!"

Japanese fetishises western culture as much as we fetishise Japanese culture.

In Japan, I've found that Japanese people are very reluctant to talk about anime in groups of other Japanese people but when it's just them as the only Japanese person in a group of anime loving foreigners, they'll spill.

You see this in itasha shows on niconico or on noriyaro's YT channel when he covers itasha. On niconico with a japanese host, the car owners will be very understated "Oh yeah, I like the show but anyway...". Whereas on Noriyaro's channel they will gush about how much they love the character especially if the host shows enthusiasm about it too.

My bf is so fucking weird and hard to be around. Like on paper he seems like a great bf, he showers me with gifts and treats. but day to day interactions are such a crapshoot. Is he gonna snap about something I say? He tells me to remind him of stuff he needs to do (around the house, in general) and then he'll be petty af when it comes time for me to remind him. Earlier today I reminded him that something needed to be fixed and this man baby fucking says "well I was just about to do it, but now that you've annoyed me I'm not going to fix it for another week" wtf?!?

I don't feel like I have any say since I don't pay bills (I have a job, I've offered to help - I can't afford half but I can afford to help out - he insists he doesn't want/need help paying for anything). He's even encouraged me to quit my job. But randomly he'll go off about how I don't contribute to the household and tell me to pack my shit and leave. Everytime I start packing my shit he grovels and is all sweet and buys flowers and stuff and sucks me right back in.

I might leave him once I'm vaccinated and can safely date while living with my parents without worrying about bringing the rona home to them. My parents will also pay the bills, and they're not fucking assholes.

And honestly it's not really like my lolita spending habits have changed that much. Most of the stuff I'm into are obscure 2000's stuff that rarely show up for sale so I usually only buy something once every few months anyways.

I miss being a 14-year-old weeb just discovering lolita online. I was absolutely in love with it, spent hours every day looking for more pictures and fantasising about my first coords. I remember going to my first meetup in a crappy handmade dress and the excitement of seeing others wear Burando(TM) in real life for the first time. When I got my first brand dress I was walking on clouds for a month. I still have it.

Nowadays lolita doesn’t do anything for me anymore. I feel... oversaturated? Desensitised? Occasionally I do like a new release but deep down I know that if I get it, taking it out of the box and putting it on won’t feel magical like it used to and I’ll probably just sell it after wearing it a handful of times. When I put on my first brand dress and look in the mirror I just feel stupid. It doesn’t suit me, but I can’t bring myself to sell it.

How do I get the magic back, anons?

What you are describing is merely a part of the human experience. When we are young, we discover new things about ourselves. This feeling is exhilarating. It's novel and feels as though whatever we discover will never wear out. When you have grown older, these things you discovered - that you loved absolutely - are now just routine. You have already experienced the essence of the thing, what now? You could dive deeper down the rabbit hole, but then your personality revolves around some transient thing. You could try to discover something new, however, that youthful curiosity and boundless enthusiasm for the unknown is waning. All of that is now filled in with experience. Experience let's you know things without experiencing them, novelty is hard to come by.

The truth is, you need to accept that life changes. You can still love these things, but now that love requires more commitment. Even then, the interest will fade as your priorities in life change. However, given enough time you will inevitably be reminded of those times you did things when you were young. Then you'll get curious, and you'll start looking for those old dresses and trying them on. A deep appreciation for the past will wheal within you, and you might find yourself re-exploring that favorite thing you used to do. It might not be the same high you remember from before, but you will be glad to have this new - more subtle - happiness when you are older.

I used to have a huge wardrobe of only super sweet AP. I've always been petite and looked pretty young for my age, so lolita was perfect for me.
A few years ago I wanted to look more mature and normal, so I sold my entire wardrobe, changed my look, and even got a boob job.
2020 made me realize how much I miss lolita, and now I regret selling my burando and getting the work done.
I want to get back into the fashion, but I have to rebuild my entire collection again, and I'm worried I won't fit into AP anymore. I definitely can't fit into unshirred stuff...
Kinda hate myself now. Did I waste my money?

I'm around 94cm but I'm taller at 5'8 ish and my torso is long so it's harder for me to fit many pieces "correctly." If you're petite and around the same measurement it will be a lot easier for you to fit and I doubt you will have many issues if any. My main issue is the shoulder straps always being so short which really cannot be remedied unless I lose a truck load of weight, and even then I can't change my height nor the distance between my shoulders and bust line. I can only make the bust flatter and the dress lay flatter giving me more room so to speak.

I love this so much, I've had a similar experience and I only got the courage to jump into lolita and buy a real piece in 2019. I've been lurking for a decade straight like you but the courage was never there.

>> No.10533056

it really can be so hard to find the courage, but i'm so glad i took the leap!

i was nervous because while i had seen tall lolitas and black lolitas i had never really seen both (god forbid ouji) and i didn't think i'd be able to relate to anyone or find a lot of pieces that would fit me properly without looking like an idiot

but then i realized: i really really enjoy this fashion and the community and even just shitting around on /cgl/ makes me really happy, so why not at least try? one of the best things about lolita is that because the secondhand market is such a large part of the community, you always have the chance to at least make back some if not all of the investment you might have made if you end up not liking it

i think the fact i've made friends with people as interested in the fashion as me in the past few months has helped reinvigorate my love for it too

For a while the right conceded a lot to the left then with the rise of SJWism, the left went incredibly left and the right has refused to make concessions only to be labelled as white supremacists, racist, Nazis, x-phobic, etc for holding views that only 3-4 years ago were considered the norm for the left. This drove a lot of moderate right-wing people to the extreme right.

I was honest and apologized last night to my bf for spending money i honestly didn't have on lolita around my birthday. I was at a breaking point and was starting to self harm again and feeling (more so) suicidal. I understand that wasn't a great redirection of my pain but it did relieve my stress and sadness. But he seemed much more angry about it then he has been about anything. Telling me that i relapsed (shopping addiction) as if the other option is health... He said can i just sell everything i just got because i dont deserve it. The sadness and stress are back 10x.

The middle class is always going to shoulder the taxes that all these corrupt and rich af politicians' spend on whatever stupid shit they push. At the end of the day we all lose. We don't have enough money to lobby for our interests like big corporations and the left and right have strategically divided the nation. We're all too busy constantly fighting each other rather than fighting against the real 1% villains up top. It sucks because you have to get stupid rich or create a huge movement to effect any kind of significant change. BLM for example still fits into the narrative the Democrats have been pitching and therefore are able to be heard and taken seriously. I honestly wouldn't even be surprised if the government on both sides created BLM, proud boys, etc movements as a way to control the population's thoughts and actions.

op from before, this is absolutely true and i think native americans get so shit on more than any other race in the US across the board but that doesn’t negate the fact that police discrimination against other races and especially people who are black or immigrants exists. like i’m sure if you ask a cop they’re gonna tell you they’re not racist but that’s how dominant group bias works.

the same goes for the medical system: there are studies proving that black women, even by black doctors, consistently receive lower quality care and are more likely to have their issues ignored or waved off. it’s not because those doctors are explicitly racist it’s because the way they’ve been educated and socialized makes them less likely to take black womens complaints seriously .

My husband pays for living expenses honestly. I'm a bit of a freeloader, and others can hate me for it, but I moved to his career's place of choosing years ago and the trade-off was that we knew he'd be making a lot more money than I ever could this way. The $1400 every two weeks is more than I made at my last job, so that kinda answers your question on why I'm able to afford anything. I also do have savings. Not an immense amount, but apparently a lot more than the average American. I was laid off directly because of COVID, if that helps any.

To follow up, since you're making more on unemployment than you did at your job, does this motivate you to go back and find another job? Do you plan on collecting the entirety of your unemployment or intend to find a higher paying job in general? I'm guessing you work retail.

Also is he mad that you don't pay for rent and use your money and savings for lolita? Not trying to derail shit. I'm just genuinely curious how these relationship dynamics work.

Nayrt but my bf is happy to let me use my money for lolita stuff. I'm a freeloader too, I guess. He still buys me lolita stuff every so often. He always says he wishes he could give me an allowance instead of me having to work at all.

Idk how I found such a gallant trad man that's also a childfree leftie. Not a manlet/dicklet nor ugly/fat, either.

Also very lucky to have trad husband who says he wishes I didn't work. We are childless, he has a really good but hard job, I have a degree but choose to work a low-paying job that I don't have to drive 2 hrs to, so I am a freeloader. We live in the sticks so cost of living isn't a lot. We both cook and clean, me moreso.

I'll be honest again (thanks for asking sensible questions and not automatically "reeing" about it) - I do not plan to look for work as long as I'm being paid unemployment. There's a couple reason why. Number one is the amount I'm getting right now. It seems like a complete waste of time and effort to get a job that would likely pay the same or $1/$2 higher. I essentially have my 40+ hours back a week, while still getting paid for them. The second reason is COVID. I really don't feel comfortable working at any in-person job right now and my husband has been working from home since March last year. We agreed that it compromises us to the virus if I were to work right now, because we both only go outside to essentially buy groceries. As for my job, I actually worked in an office. I was an administrator for one of their corporate departments. The pay was pretty dismal.

>>10534570
Nah, he's never been mad at that. For reference, we've known each other for 10+ years. We draw the line at him paying out of pocket for lolita, even though he could comfortably (He gives me other presents, and I've never expected him to get as good at sniping listings as me). Basically any money I make is completely mine to spend in any way I like. I realize that makes me completely spoiled. I pay for little things, like for my own car registration and whatnot.

Ayrt, for the ones that are not working, do you guys ever feel a lack of purpose? What are some of the hobbies you have? Do your husbands/partners have expectations of sex on a regular basis/whenever they want it? Do you all share joint bank accounts? I know a lot of couples do when they get married.

Thanks for the insight.

>The media
>The fucking media

You mean the same media which labelled all the 6 months worth kf riots as peaceful protests to a fault?
"Fiery but peaceful" comes to mind.

Also literally every single major business in the US has voiced their support for BLM. Many indie brands were beheaded before the altar of social media if they didn't do some performative pro-BLM dance. I'm also reminded of the guy who nearly got lynched at a cafe because he didn't put his fist up in support of BLM. If you think you're not on the side of the authoritarians, I have bad news for you.

I'm the unemployment anon. I've never felt my identity or purpose relied on a job. Actually, working drained me of all creative energy and I was always the odd-one-out where I worked because I didn't live and breathe for my boss. It's kinda always been like that. Maybe I have yet to find a job that really fits? Honestly I'd be happy with a desk job somewhere that just stays out of my personal life/time.

My hobbies are all art or foreign-language related. I'm always busy with something. Obviously I'm pretty hard-core into jfashion too. There's no expectation of sex outside the norm. We have a shared bank account, but I also have a separate one in my name that's where most my money goes, just so I know what's truly mine to spend on whatever.

If you don't get that the media is deflecting resentment and hatred for the oligarchy back so that people tear into each other rather than sharpening pitchforks on politicians, you gotta guess again.
