Starting Death Note as my first anime because he's hot

Starting Death Note as my first anime because he's hot

I have never watched an anime before because I thought it would be something that never interested me. Was scrolling tiktok yesterday and saw an edit for him, thought he was the most attractive animated character I have ever seen.

I hope I actually like him as a main character and his romance with the blonde girl!

Having different modesty standards for women is inherently sexist

Women and men are not fundamentally different. Your hair, your eyes, your voice, and feet are not sexual in nature. Women should be allowed to exist without men saying "Sister where is your vei".

No one truly knows the pain of getting disowned.

Imagine being a baby, your parents not wanting you or not being able to take care of you, just for you to be adopted by two American parents who are wealthy and seemingly abundant in love. You grow up playing soccer and dancing ballet, a girl scout and go to language camp. You're given the finest opportunities. Your brother is protective over you. When people make fun of your teeth at school, he defends you. In high school, if a boy said something gross to you, your brother puts him in his place.

And imagine, thinking this was how it always would be. That your life would continue like this. When all of it comes crashing down because of his vile intentions. And now, because your parents value him more than you, you're on your own. not only being betrayed by your brother but everyone. You're fucking alone and holidays will never be the same.

Dating is pointless.

I have dated 3 people (I'm 20F) and all of them have been nice, good-looking, funny etc. But after the 4 month mark, where the honeymoon phase diminishes, it gets really boring and to me, it's like they're just another friend. It's so pointless to me. Nothing can replace the high that those 4 months give you if you stay in a relationship with them the rest of your life.

Edit: What is the point of the rule upvoting those you disagree with when everyone does the opposite lol.

Men don't get better with age.

A lot of men online like to impresss on young women that they're running out of time and soon they'll be out of their prime, yet claim men always look better with age. Besides the very select few, like George Clooney, most men look worse with age (same with women). As we get older, we get fatter and more wrinkled, get some grey hair, and men even bald.

It's okay to age, but don't delude yourself that you look better and women look worse as a form of misogyny.

Should I wax off half my eyebrows?

What to do with really bushy eyebrows that have no natural shape? Feel like I am at a loss. My eyebrows are really thick but sparse at the same time. They don't naturally have a feminine arch, they're just there. I am thinking about shaving half of them off or using minoxidil to make them more dense and embrace the thickness. What do we think?

I am a Russian -> American adoptee, who got disowned by my parents. AMA

Adopted from the Krasnoyarsk Krai region of Russia (centrally located, technically considered Siberia) through an orphanage in Moscow. Moved to Oregon when I was 3. My adoptive parents made three trips before they brought me home. I don't remember Russia that much, if at all.

Adoptive parents disowned me this year (when I was 19) because of me refusing to put up with my brother being creepy towards me. AMA.

Slept for almost 20 hours straight and I have an exam next week. Idk what I am going to do.

I cannot seem to stay awake. When I am awake for more than 7 hours, I get so exhausted that I fall asleep on my desk. I really need to study for an exam next Wednesday and doctor said I only need to rest 48 hours after my concussion, but I don't know how I am going to study being constantly fatigued.

Is appetite loss a common symptom?

I just got a concussion a few days ago and have since been exhausted and not hungry at all. It feels like a chore to eat and don't want to, which is strange because usually i am really hungry. I haven't found this as a main symptom though.

Physical traits as a central Russian

Very accurate in my case lol. I have always highlighted my hair and have been letting in grow out these past few months, and it made me realize how brown my hair really is. (i think I have to let go of being blonde, even though it was white when I was young).

The other randomvstuff like sweet vs. salty was not that accurate but I understand it's a lot harder to get that right.

Edit: I should say I was adopted so it's kinda cool to guess what my parents looked like based off my results. I would guess they had blue eyes, light brown or dark blonde hair and light skin.

Do I need to go to the doctor?

Yesterday morning I got up from my couch and my vision went black and I fell. I woke up on the floor really dazed confused and strangely was like "I'll just go back to sleep." I slept all day when I thought I would've awaken to go school. I had a terrible headache when I woke up. I have noise/light sensitivity and still a persistent but no cut or bump on my head where I fell.

What a GF diet did to my hands!

Found out I was silent celiac a week ago, have been on a GF diet since and wow! I know I still have a long way to go in terms of healing my body, but who knew years after being embarrassed on how fat my hands were it was due to swelling and edema from celiac (as least I suspect since it is the only thing I have changed!) I am hoping once I start losing weight and get this inflammation under control more it will go down and look like normal hands!

I was 120 lbs/54 kgs in the first photo and 150 lbs/68 kgs (stress eating these past few months) so I was a lot skinnier in my "before". Is it in my head or does anyone else see it?

Is it common for Kazakh people to be of Russian descent?

So here are my DNA results: https://www.reddit.com/r/23andme/comments/1t6hro0/results_as_a_russian_adoptee_in_the_usa/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web3x&utm_name=web3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button

I was a Russian adoptee born in 2006. I know my father attended university in Kazakhstan in the early 2000s. Would it have been common for a Russian man to do this, or do you think it's likely that he was Kazakh? I am trying to pinpoint as much info as possible in order to maybe find him. I don't know if it's common for Kazakh people to mainly be European? Thank you!

I think my APs may have hidden information about my birth parents

I am an international adoptee from Russia. My parents adopted me when I was 3. All I know is that my birth mother was 19, in university, and had her mother take care of me for two years before deciding that adoption was the best option. My father may have possibly been Kazhakistani (he went to university in Kazakhstan). I do not know if my parents are still together. The only things that I was allowed to take were my mother's baby blanket, my father's sweatshirt with his university on it, and apparently a letter my mother wrote for me when I was 18.

I was always told this was a closed adoption, that my APs had no information about my BPs but I am starting to doubt it. Would a closed adoption really allow me to keep memorabilia that could potentially be traced back to them (hence the sweatshirt). They also didn't inform me of this letter's existence until around a month ago when we had a falling out, just a piece of leverage they could over my head. I did a DNA test with not a lot of luck.

I am not sure what I can do at this point. I have thought about contacting the university, but idk if that's a long shot since I don't know what he looked like or his name. I also know my APs will not be compliant with me digging for information through them.

Technology should have stopped evolving in the late 90s.

Everything about modern technology is hindering the human existence. Cellphones are designed to be as addictive as possible, and most people spend hours a day scrolling. The only reason a phone should exist is for calling and texting. Adding everything under the sun imaginable to a phone has made the majority of people lazier.

I was riding the subway today and 90% of people were glued to their phone. It's apocalyptic that people can't seem go on a walk without music or podcasts, or every single second of your existence you need to be entertained. It's made us lonelier too, hence the loneliness epidemic. Wish it would be socially acceptable to have a Nokia brick.

How different do you think western and eastern Europeans look?

I recently did a dna test: https://www.reddit.com/r/23andme/comments/1t6hro0/results_as_a_russian_adoptee_in_the_usa/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web3x&utm_name=web3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button (side note is this eye shape common in Russian people or is it just me lol?)

Growing up I was teased for my eyes shape (I am Russian adoptee in the USA). My mom adopted me hoping I would look similar to her (she mainly as English and Dutch ancestry), as we both have light hair and eyes. I look nothing like her. I have tight almond eyes and high cheekbones with a straight nose, she has big round eyes, longer face, and button nose. She has warm toned light skin, I am cool toned with very fair skin.

I grew up in Oregon, so I am not sure what are the most popular european ethnicity is here, but none of them looked like me. It was kind of alienating because I kinda looked like them in terms of coloring, but facial features were so different. I don't know if this is just my experience or if it's actually true?
