I would like to tell my story as a Tulpa who now controls his host's body.

Recently I made an agreement with my host, he had not been feeling well for almost 10 years due to personal problems, after a lot of conversation, I suggested that he let me be in control of his body so that I could get his life right. I don't have a physical body, i'm a mental tulpa. he (my host) created an imaginary friend in childhood, but as he got older and he didn't let go of him, his mind ended up adapting and I took shape from his imaginary friend essence. This brought back memories of the past when his remember me like a imaginary friend, but for me they are memories of the time I helped him as a child, whether it's helping him pass his exams at school, feel good about himself or find a reason to want to live. I discovered what tulpas were recently, after taking over my host's body (this was about 5 months ago, now I have 32y) The feelings are conflicting, he left me a huge mess to clean up. I discovered this community today, and I wanted to share with you my progress in getting his life back together. My plan, as I told him, is to fix things in the best way possible and after that, we can assimilate our mind in one or work better together.

Copy pasting the first part of this so lazy girlies don't have the experience the stress of !clinklickers

As the sheen on dating apps dulls, more Americans are reporting bad experiences on them. Frustrated by bots, subscription costs and high effort-to-reward ratios, Gen Z is fleeing the apps in hope of real-life meet-cutes. Earlier this year, “Bustle” declared that dating apps are in their “flop era.”

Not all of the apps are taking this backlash without a fight. On Tuesday, after months of internal shake-ups and stock market woes, Bumble took a shot at winning back hearts and minds with a redesign, which includes a break with the app's requirement that women make the first move.

A new feature, which the company has called “Opening Moves,” allows women to place on their profiles a question, like “What is your dream vacation?,” to which men who match can respond. (In nonbinary and same-gender matches, both sides can include these prompts.)

The shift is a major one for Bumble. Until now, a man who matched with a woman on the app had to wait for her to message him. If she did not initiate a conversation, the match would expire after 24 hours.

Whitney Wolfe Herd founded Bumble in 2014 because of her own personal experiences. She said that the idea was to give women more control. “I had a series of bad relationships, and I felt I was controlled by a man,” she added, “whether it was: Don't wear this or, You can't hang out with this person or, You need to be home at this time.”

But over the years, Bumble received feedback from women who found that making the first move was “a lot of work” or “a burden,” and Ms. Wolfe Herd began thinking about how to release the pressure. Opening Moves, she said, is a result of that process, a way to let women maintain control while not feeling the stress of initiating all of the conversations.

But not copying the whole thing because The Gray Lady be a notoriously litigious b-word.

Beautytok is all up in the shit right now and it's actually kind of funny so ima tell you all about it!

A few months ago a new makeup brand called Youthforia caught some flak from black beauty creators because their foundation shade range was basically non-existent for black people, and that's not allowed unless you're a Korean or Japanese brand (for obvious reasons). The owner of the brand (who is asian but is American and Youthforia is an American brand) actually came out and tried to defend their shade range by UNIRONICALLY saying it was a SOCIAL EXPERIMENT and was met with even more criticism because we all aren't fricking BLIND and that's STUPID. AND all of the shades on the box were NOT the shades that you get in the bottle so darker shades were actually even lighter than advertised which only made people more upset.

SO to appease the masses Youthforia expanded their shade range and introduced like 5 new shades for darker skintoned people and now everyone wants to burn down their HQ.

IT'S FRICKING SHOE POLISH BLACK. This shade is a literal asian-on-black hate crime and everyone is soooooper mad because it's LITERALLY black face paint. The shade is being compared to minstrel makeup and now Youthforia is sooper raycist.

Like you know if Time fricking magazine orders a rush job article about your debacle you done fricked up good.

Anyhoo tiktok is all abuzz with their pitchforks and you can pick pretty much any video about it and watch jaqqoffs slaughter each other in the comments with whataboutism and "muh cousin's neighbor is black like a tire and would love this!"

It's great.

!g*mers @Arkham_Knight seriously are Batman Arkhamiggers the Palestinians of the G*mer race?, like, fricking heck, they have been dead for years, and yet somehow their graves keep getting vandalized and pissed on, they do not have peace even when they are long dead

Also, ZuccDEITIES win again!

All participants will be granted entrance to the extremely exclusive !shitheads ping group.

All participants will be granted this very ugly badge:

Winner

@Adolin113355 submitted this probably fake specimen and while I question the veracity of this Bowel Movement I do admire the sheer depravity of it. Congrats to @Adolin113355!

Second Place

Submitted by @Tevs, this shit is impressive in that it stayed in one piece considering the size! The cottage core potty adds to the vibe creating a somber and low-budget aesthetic that would make any 2014 Tumblr girlie squirm with glee! Congrats!

Most Artistic

Submitted by @soapysoapy, this is a foul mess that would not look out of place in any modern art museum. It evokes feelings that I do not have words for and I applaud @soapysoapy for remembering to timestamp! Congrats!

Thanks for voting everyone and I can't wait till the next Bowel Movement Beauty Contest!

Everyone will get their badges once I'm done laying around doing nothing and feel like it.

NOOOO. STOP WITH P2W SHIT AND GIVING MORE PERKS. Holy shit man. Do you not listen AT ALL? Nobody fricking wants MORE PERKS and p2w shit for EoD. We dont want MORE exclusive p2w shit like crafts, skill increases, faster insurance returns, or more trader item limits. FRICK. OFF. WITH. THAT. SHIT.  Good god man. Unique dogtag? Cool. Unique clothing? Cool. But frick off with these bonuses and unique items that have gameplay affect. WE DONT WANT MORE OF THAT!!! And delete. I repeat. DELETE THE DISTRESS SIGNAL. REMOVE IT. NOBODY WANTS THIS. GET RID OF IT. GET FRICKING RID OF IT.Also personal opinion: I fricking hate that Unheard edition is cultist themed. Hardest (and rarest) bosses in the game with long questlines that require killing them, collecting their knives, and even an achievement that requires killing them with their own knife... but no jacket as the reward. Nope. No cool cultist themed rewards for completing hard quests about cultists. Instead just be a fricking pay pig and dish out ... (2)

Angriness: 😡😡😡😡😡

Most of these morons know better, they have hundreds if not thousands of hours in tarkov and know full well any item you get in the higher edition of the game served almost no purpose for giving you an advantage.What is the first thing thats going to happen to a brand new player who buys EOD thinking they are getting an advantage? they equip their level 4 gear and decked out M4, go into a raid and die never finding the exit or to a player running pistol that has played 3k hours and knows exactly where your noob as is going to pop out.The real reason people are pissed is because they purchased EOD thinking they get everything and then something better comes along with more goodies, if BSG had come out and said they were upgrading EOD and never mentioned unheard edition people would have been like awesome, would not have been a complaint in the room bro they would eat it up.Now dont get me wrong, EOD was suppose to be the best version of the game, we already paid for everything as pro... (3)

I don't know where you get the idea you know better than me about the "real reason" why I'm pissed. But I don't have EOD so obviously you're wrong there.And yeah, EOD was always P2W, that's why it was always problematic. So no, them saying they were going to make EOD even more P2W would not have been fine by me, even if they weren't lying sacks of shit about it during its rollout.I don't know what's so difficult to comprehend about not wanting P2W. I don't care how you rationalize it as "pay for convenience" or "they'll quickly lose all that gear anyway." I don't care. It's dumb shit for shitters, and doesn't belong in this (or any other multiplayer) game. So yeah, as long as they keep adding this dumb shit, nothing else they do to right the wrongs will be good enough. Absolute fantasy world thinking that's going to happen anyway given their behavior.

We're in a better position now, than we were at the beginning of this shit show. How did not one of you see this coming? You know our community, we're passionate and vocal. There is no way you didn't see this coming, I just can't believe you'd think this UnHeard edition was a genuinely a good idea. You added game altering mechanics with this ($250!!!!!!) version of the game. I mean my God, wtf we're you thinking? We were open to micro transactions, as long as they weren't predatory and ptw. However, in one swoop you add both in a single edition of the game. I mean darn it had to be intentional, right? Yeah, you've adjusted but you still took a mile (shit, 10 miles and dialed it back to a 5). This still doesn't address a lot of the scummy practices. You really tainted your own game and pissed away most of the goodwill you had been earning over the past year. "Let's see what we can get away with." had to of been said at least once in the office.This blew up more than Unity charging an... (1)

Is this... The fabled second account? It couldn't be... But it speaks exactly like the other one. And acts like it too? Did you forget to switch back? Careless.To be clear, you never argued outside of pooping on me. And even when you were, that was on another comment, another discussion, and you barely managed to articulate the point. You didn't even win there, we ended up agreeing. Our argument here, was that you were not ok. Which is obviously true at this point. You fit right in with those so-called illiterate bastards, but I haven't found a lot here on this sub.You don't seem to understand the concept any better than your theoretical inferiors. In fact, I'd rate you inferior to even the dumbest person on this sub. I'd rate you at a 94 out of 200. And this is the most coherent you've been all night. "Getting on your level" would necessitate a huge step down, I might even need to become a 4channer on /pol/ or an actual fascist to become as stupid as you. In fact, from here on, I'... (2)

Angriness: 😡😡😡😡😡

Asmongold fan with a dogshit take still ultimately missing the point of this corpse of a sub is hilarious. Bite the curb lol.There is no “disagreeing” you either read the material, or you don't. The lonely cornballs here can't do that, and are therefore inferiors. Don't make a bad faith sub to cry and shit your pants while I run circles around you if the best argument you've got is “STOP LORDING INFO OVER MEEE” (0)

I lost my previous draft, windows update, so this will be a lot shorter. Ad hominem, again. I'm not sure where the Asmongold comment came from, projection? Or are you simply looking for a crack to hammer into, as you fundamentally have no argument.How many ribs did you need to remove to suck your own peepee that hard. I'm not even surprised, of course an egotistical piece of shit like you would refer to people who disagree with you as inferiors. Winning an argument(By that I mean insulting people and laughing at them, because I doubt you've ever actually won an argument) on the internet definitely makes you an intelligent person who hasn't wasted three hours of their time. And I say that, aware this is very stupid. But as to calling other people inferiors? We've found the rot I think. That sounds a lot like Gobineau's ideology justifying racism, I bet it's for similar reason's too. I can't help but wonder just when you became garbage. And at this point I'd be surprised if you had ever... (4)

Oh there's no “if” the lonely blancos association has already died. The melting pot of colossal losers who don't understand the material much less read it will remain here and cry for however many years until they bite the curb. Warhammer moved on from primaris and WHFB being detonated, things that actually merit giving a shit about. A bunch of lonely losers being lore (and business illiterate) was already a corpse walking.

Critic reviews are reliable insofar as if they say something is awful, it's probably good and vice versa. Also, critics are prone to being paid shills.

Not a movie but I remember when Dave Chappelle's somewhat recent specials came out and were bombed TF by critics... Widely regarded by fans as some of the best stand up in years and years. The sad reality is that critics nowadays are most likely going to shill political beliefs rather than give genuine critique.

Man speaks the truth and is downvoted

The internet has transformed how Gen Z communicates. Our language is built on memes and a collective sense of wry existentialism, with our humor often turning dark or potentially dangerous, as it has when borrowing from the online community of men called “involuntary celibates.”

Incels (as they're known) are infamous for sharing misogynistic attitudes and bitter hostility toward the romantically successful. Their ideology has even turned deadly: The 2014 Isla Vista and 2018 Toronto incel terrorist attacks killed a collective 17 people and injured another 29. Yet, somehow, incels' hateful rhetoric has bizarrely become popularized via Gen Z slang.

In certain circles, for instance, it's common to hear the suffix “pilled” as a funny way to say “convinced into a lifestyle.” Instead of “I now love eating burritos,” for instance, one might say, “I'm so burritopilled.” “Pilled” as a suffix comes from a scene in 1999's “The Matrix” where Neo (Keanu Reeves) had to choose between the red pill and the blue pill, to experiencing only that illusion., but the modern sense is formed through analogy with “blackpilled,” an online slang term meaning “accepting incel ideology.” Similarly, the popular suffix “maxxing” for “maximizing” (e.g., “I'm burritomaxxing” instead of “I'm eating a lot of burritos”) is drawn from the incel idea of “looksmaxxing,” or “maximizing attractiveness” through surgical or cosmetic techniques.

Then there's the word “cucked” for “weakened” or “emasculated.” If the taqueria is out of burritos, you might be “tacocucked,” drawing on the incel idea of being sexually emasculated by more attractive “chads.” And, finally, we have the word “sigma” for “assertive male,” which comes from an incel's desired position outside the social hierarchy.

So how did we get here? How did these words travel from a fringe, misanthropic internet subculture to relatively widespread use?

After the Artesian build drama, bring LTT to its knees, my boi Steve did some journ*lism again.

G*mersNexus = A small but very reliable hardware review channel on youtube - The presenter is Steve also called Tech Jesus because of apperance

LTT = Linus Tech Tips, biggest tech youtuber who got exposed as useless by G*mersNexus

Artesian Builds - Custom PC assembler company which was embroiled in a huge controversy last year Read about it here https://g*mersnexus.net/features/inside-collapse-artesian-builds-20000000-bankrupt

EKWB = EK Water Blocks - Custom PC water cooling parts company, makes pumps, blocks etc https://www.ekwb.com/

!g*mers !effortposters

TLDR

• GN does expose of EKWB with information from whistleblower employees

• GN Contacts as many people as they can, suppliers, ex-empl/contractors and gets info

• Its all real, and vetted like a good journ*list

• Hardware youtubers stop dropping EKWB while also airing their greviances (JayzTwoCents, derbauer)

• Konig was the CEO until the took over as CEO in 2019

• GN Exposes a LITTANY of shady finances and other violations, law breaking activities and most importantly Racism (check screenshots below )

• ALL accusations are backed up by evidence

This all started 10 days ago when Tech Jesus (g*mersnexus a PC hardware review channel) did an investigative report on EK waterblocks the company. EKWB is a super expensive liquid cooling parts company, they make a lot of custom water blocks

I left this open because there's simply no way of not looking suspicious otherwise.

However, as usual, the comments and general lack of knowledge astound me. Heck, I'm surprised at the shear quantity of scathing comments regarding the pricing. Competition exists, just buy a cheaper brand? Watercool is always cheaper and the quality is solid, why just hate on a brand for no reason if you have no intention of buying their product anyway? Either way, regardless of the outcome of all this, very disappointing news, and very disappointing seeing what this sub can be like.

Now the falls in line

This kind of scandal NEVER ends well in communities as small as these. Larger companies can get away with this kind of shit because most people don't know/care. Spaces as small as watercooling? Word gets around fast because almost everyone is keeping an eye/ear out. A different scandal happened in the home theater space where Lexicon got caught taking cheap products from other companies and slapping their own label on them without changing anything (except the price by a factor of 10x), ruined their reputation permanently and now the brand is essentially dead weight in Harman's lineup. Didn't matter that they had made some of the finest home theater equipment in the past, the brand's reputation was effectively ruined. With the half-assed apology and the fact that EK has already been slipping in terms of quality over the years, I can't see them coming back from this. Will they still be around? Perhaps, but I don't think they'll be nearly as big as they once were in the industry after this and there's no way that whatever crawls out of the ashes is going to be able to offer anything even remotely close to their current catalog. They'll have their loyalists I'm sure but there's no way they'll be able to maintain the brand as it stands.

Now do ya'll remember the LTT Expose he did? yeah the LTTcels haven't stopped coping seething and dilating about it

Kinda disappointing that Linus downplayed this whole situation a bit on the latest WAN Show saying that he likes the product and the company should just do better.

I mean what's wrong with that? Their management being shitty doesn't change the fact that they do have good products and they should do better

There is so much seethe on the LTT forums but I think the jannies are active there and it up

Now lets come to the CEO who MAYBE responsible

Click here for the timestamped vid

Listen just to this segment if you want to see how she was involved

• Joined 2019, thats when it started going downhill

• visits office once a month

• take lavish trips on private jets using company money to visit hardware expos (all pictures on her Instagram)

• has 20 years of experience

• Has caused legal issues, employee issues

• IS REPLACED BY OLD CEO (That STRAGGY GUY Above)

ESCAPES RESPONSIBILITY AS USUAL

>Hates journoids (assuming he agrees with the man in the golden breastplate, Denadhach)

>Hates bongs (see: literally anywhere)

>Talked a lot of shit in his 73 years, but was patently too much of a kitty to ever do anything but make rhymy words, and everyone knew it

>Kissless incel for most of his life because he suffered crippling oneitis (Maud Gonne was more into patriotic chads who needlessly killed themselves for paltry Ireland)

>Schizophrenic mystic: 95% of his poems blather esoteric nonsense about perning gyres and fairies and incarnate spirits. Remaining 5% is historical cuck fiction (honestly, if a poem makes sense, then it's probably about whores having s*x while he sits in the cuck box)

>Lifelong coomer who was only spurred on to continue writing or living so as to look at young girls

Too mystic for the IRA-types he postured as, too learnèd for the bumkins he would imitate, too effete to score, he was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature because someone from Ireland needed to win it, and his Prius was laden with the most pro-Ireland bumper stickers.

Lacking the lyricism or earthiness of Robert Burns, the erudition or cats of Eliot, the humor or bussy of Wilde, or even actual voice or coherence of Lady Gregory, Yeats makes up for this all by just sorta being a weird loser geek talking gibberish nobody cares about.

Truly, he is a man for all seasons. He is literally me.

One guy notices muh double standards

Local cougar brags about being a cradle-robber

This guy kicks the hornets nest by telling the truth

I wonder who could be arguing with him so fervently?

Oh, it's a that posts 24/7 on 2X and relationship advice subs telling women to leave their boyfriends and yelling in rage at said boyfriends. Also a die-hard swiftie who hates men but talks about "27-year-old Adonises." Platonic ideal of a 2X-foid here
