My family is home all day due to summer vacation. This morning it was 'in delivery' and suddenly in the early afternoon it was 'delivered to a family member'. When I asked my family if it arrived or if they got a slip they said nothing came today and noone rang the door.
The sketchy thing is that usually you can see more information about the recipient, like who signed it, when you add your postal code. But it says I my postal code is wrong every time I try.
Only explanation would be customs is holding onto my package and they entered 'family member' for some reason.
I had this happen to me once, it was delivered to my neighbor XY, but I didn't have a neighbor with this name. It was the name of the customs person apparently.

I feel sick.

I did a cosplay of a character from a show I loved that has very few cosplays. I was still new to cosplay, but I'm a perfectionist so I redid things over and over and over until they were right and accurate. Other cosplayers all used used cloth armor, but I didn't want to, so I had to spend a lot of time figuring out how to make mine. And it looked great. I don't have a social media presence anywhere, and I don't have fancy photographers to do photoshoots for me. But I did put the two decent photos I had up on tumblr. They got quite a few likes which was nice.

A year later, and I see some russian chick has 100% copied my construction to a T. I'm more shocked by how much it looks like an imitation, but it doesn't help that she has more likes due to having good photographers and being more popular in general. FYI her physical appearance is similar enough to mine so it's not even that.

I know this isn't uncommon, and happens to artists even more and throughout history and into the future too, but I still feel really shocked and sick. I just needed to get this off my chest.

That sucks anon, even if it wasn't something intentional it can still feel sour. You'll just have to bite through it though, like you said it won't go away and the only way you can deal with it is either confronting them (provided you have evidence) or leave it be.

Semi related:
There was a case the other week of someone coping a Japanese artist
and then selling prints of said copies. They also re-drew the work for other artists and when called out said they were studies.
The artists they copied from the most has deleted their twitter and is taking a long break from posting anything online again (and they'd post a drawing almost every single day) maybe forever.

I'm just so fucking pissed one of my favorite artists is gone because some shithead wanted to profit of their work.

That said, I wish Japanese artists especially grew more of a backbone and realize that running away from the internet isn't going to solve anything. People will just steal your old works that are still floating around and if anything continuing will show you are stronger then whoever stole that shit.

You're allowed to have cheat days anon. It's more important to look at your weekly intake vs daily intake. Most diets have a cheat day because other wise you'll binge and get out of control and not lose weight.

This happens every god damn time. It's a gijinka cosplay and my whole idea is different than the normal sexy versions people do of him, so I shouldn't feel so pressured to conform, but I can't quite help it.

If you really want to do it, then you should. Views happen if you know how to promote your videos and give things time. I wouldn't worry too much about being the best - just do your best. Over time, your videos will get better when you've looked at them, studied them (and how others do them), and when you've gotten a lot of practice with editing software, and get better video equipment.

I've put on enough weight over this summer due to a bunch of changes in my life (new home in an unsafe area, new job with less time for meal preparation making me lazy, etc) that I can no longer fit my Mary Magdalene dresses. It's not even that I've gotten heavier, just soft and chubby from not working out, but I feel like I need to do something sort of drastic to change my eating habits, so I'm starting the Master Cleanse this weekend. inb4 lecturing, I know, it's just a way to kick my ass into eating better; this is how I quit fast food before back in university, and I'm hoping to gain the same motivation. I'm just scared I might get weird about food like I have in the past. Losing weight back down to my smallest would be such a good feeling and would give me lots of confidence in cosplay, but I don't know that I can go down that road again.

Don't be discouraged, 25 is still pretty young. Your weight is the real problem. Diet and exercise is all you need. Concentrate on getting that weight down to something compatible with your height. For example, if you're 177cm then you might need to only lose about 40 lbs to look alright, but if you're 150cm then you might need to lose as much as 80 to look nice. It will take time, but dropping the weight will make you look younger, and will help you feel so much better about yourself.

>>8539289
>especially in cases in which the father supported keeping the pregnancy
Those I can moderately understand (although I still think we should be expected to fend for ourselves), but when the father doesnt know about the pregnancy or doesn't want to keep the child he should be able to null any financial responsibility towards it.

I'm just stating the law. You quoted me anyway cause you're probably angry or at least somewhat bitter enough to comment, but my bestie is a lawyer who practices family law and handles a lot of domestic abuse cases, and you can totes sue for child support if say, the guy tried to disappear on you or something.

My advice would be, be more responsible. Use a condom, make sure she's on birth control of some kind. If all else fails don't penetrate. Use your tongue and fingers and jerk off cause it may not be as good as sticking your penis into a vagina, but it'll be way better than having to pay for a kid or an abortion.

>raising a child on a single paycheck

You know that if a parent is working, they aren't watching the child, right? Childcare is very expensive, and there needs to be someone watching the child at all times. I can appreciate where you're coming from, but with the cost of child care, what you're proposing simply isn't plausible for the average person. If you're a woman with a very high paying job and reasonable hours, sure. But generally you either need both parents to work to afford childcare on top of all other costs of living, OR you need one parent (can be male or female, I don't give a fuck which) to stay home with the child while the other parent supports.

Ideally, a single parent wouldn't need child support, but we don't live in an ideal world.

Oh you mean like the several women who were so casually discussing suing and "locking down" men based on the mild suspescion that he might go to a con alone because they thought nobody but other women would be reading?

And btw it's not ignorance. Paternity tests are already illegal without consent from the woman and a court overseeing it in france (and I believe germany and some other places) and trying to order one illegally can get you fined and even jail time.

>the concept of child support is that a woman is unable to fend for herself

are you retarded or
it's based in the concept that it takes fucking two to create a child, neither parent should be able to walk and ignore that it happened.

I used to live with a meth addict who wanted to get knocked up and be a welfare mom. She got what she wanted but now she has a kid and has to out up with the kid. It's no longer abuse bc she has to now care for a child which is a ton of work. If anyone has that plan and goes thru with it, it will always backfire be a use they're always gonna end up with a kid and the child is more important than the parent in every single case.

You need to think about the children, anon.

And if the man is strong, he should be able to survive quite nicely while assisting the child that he helped to create.

If both people willingly and knowingly bring a new life into the world, then both people should be held responsible. If the man wants to opt out during the window of time that the woman could have an abortion, and she chooses not to have that abortion, then I believe he should be able to sign something relinquishing all rights, and she'll be on her own. However, this is often enough not the case. In my case (which again, I'm not trying to get child support payments), my boyfriend agreed that he wanted to keep the child, insisted very firmly that he wouldn't be a deadbeat dad, and started making plans to be a father to this child. If he were to get cold feet now, when it's far too late for me to abort, I would not feel wrong in pursuing him for child support.

Now can we please, PLEASE get this back to /cgl/ shit? Like, can everyone's strong independent mothers be dressed as Lady Esdeath or some shit?

Yet somehow everything about the child is exclusively the womans decision, even if the child was created by accident or even without the mans knowledge at all. Yet he still has to pay as much as she demands.

Not lolita related, but when I was reading >>8538849

I just remembered a similar issue happening with my family. My brother's girlfriend is a foreigner and basically has an alien status since she's been in the U.S. for a while (a couple years now?). My mom's been trying to convince her (and my brother to convince her) to apply for (dual) citizenship or at the very least get her visa renewed (but she might as well get citizenship). It has caused a rift between my brother and my mom. I know it's not my problem, but I know it could be since it affects my brother who is very close to me, and God knows if anything (bad) happens to her - like an accident or if they end up having a child together and she can't prove her residential status. I don't know if she even works at all (if she does, I believe she's working in some restaurant, but it's not like she has any career prospects with being undocumented) and they live in a very expensive city. I really want to know why there's a refusal to comply and if there's any way to discuss this tactfully.

I'm sure I'll find a way to reason with words, but I just wanted to let that out.

at night i'm usually stuck behind drivers that go somewhere around 10mph below speed limit because of obvious texting or are clearly drunk. during the day, i'm sitting in traffic while stupid tourists will drive up the shoulder and cut in front of people at the traffic light. i'll try it today, though. it took me 40 mins to go 1.4 miles yesterday.

Guys attractiveness doesn't fade at 22 (or any age besides really old ones)

As a guy gets older he only only becomes more experienced and further in his career, meaning he has more money and social status which is what women primarily care about.

Meanwhile women rely exclusively on their looks to convey youth and fertility, and that peaks in their late teens and early 20s and goes nowhere but down from there. And in this particular case, a rich sugar daddy with an endless supply of hot new 18 year olds to choose from would never bother keeping some 22 year old hag around.

Theres plenty of evidence of womens happiness levels plummeting in their mid 20s and never rising again while mens just keeps going up to support this.

I am a cute white girl and I'd love emptying that hot black guy's semen sack by means of sucking on it with my mouth.

I'm paranoid?

They're the one who said to NEVER put your dick in a vagina unless you're prepared to have a child.
That's pretty much saying you should always assume a woman would never have sex for fun and that she's ALWAYS looking to get pregnant and start dumping child support bills on you.
It's basically like saying "don't go in the ocean if you don't want to get eaten by sharks". You never just assume a shark won't try to eat you.
