Whenever i hear this, i imagine you must be stunning and / or have a prominent feature (like huge boobs or something)! I'm attractive, but in a more average way - i feel like there's no waaay people would pay to watch me sit there, haha.

I'm also average, I am a little chubby too lol. I am not ugly, either, not gonna lie, but I'm not Angelina Jolie either. For now I have zero plastic surgery or any kind of procedure. I am planning to, tho. I just make sure my makeup and hair are on point, I am wearing nice outfits, not grandma's panties, etc. I make sure to maximize everything I can trough my appearence, from hair, to makeup, outfits.
So no, a pretty face isn't anything, it's the personality that sells.

Well "just sitting there" actually means that I am doing a visual tease, I wear outfits that men find atractive (lace, satin, leather, pvc, nylons, stilettos, etc), I use my voice to excite them, etc. And you don't need a hot body or a pretty face for it. Of course, it helps, but in the end it's the personality and how you make them feel when they are with you.

Any woman with a flattering makeup, hair and outfit, regardless of how she looks, will be a complete Goddess and muse, in front of a webcam and men will pay to just stare lol.

I was going to go try out a new club this week but yesterday I got that infamous rug burn right above my asscrack from doing too many situps without the correct posture. Now I got this bright cherry red burn that I am hoping won't scar or leave a mark, and I definitely don't want to rub it across the stage floor of a strip club and get it infected lol

S and her girlfriend have been kinda trying to subtly hint about moving back in with me. Aside from it saving them money, they’ve been talking about how they miss the dynamic of the household and such. Especially since the new girl - who they expected would take up their room - ended up taking the little bonus room attached to the garage which the previous owners built for AirBNB guests and such.

If they wanna move back in, of course they can. Hell, I’ve missed having them here. My annoyance is that they feel like they have to build up to it and warm me up to the idea, rather than just asking outright. Silly little dykes. They should be more than cognizant that they’re both quite near and dear to me and that I would never turn them away.

I'm trying to purchase bath towels, comforters and such through Amazon but I'm hesitant due to reviews such as 'nothing like pictures'. They're pretty legit because there are things I won't buy on Amazon due to dishonest sellers so I'll have to go to Walmart tomorrow early morning. I refused to go afternoon or night for me peace and sanity.

I want just 2 hours to myself in my parents house at some point this week, so that I can walk it and be nostalgic, say my goodbyes, and cry without anyone else around. But they seem to have made it so that even when one of them is out, the other is home, constantly working on shit, or else they'll both only be out because the realtor is coming by to do stuff.

I get that they have a lot going on to sell it, but I want one small window of time to say goodbye to the house I grew up in without constant noise, running around, or feeling awkward in front of other people. I'd like to do some meditating and an actual "goodbye" because I feel like it will be good for me as a symbolic moment to move into a new era in my life. I'm here for a week and I can't have a couple hours in this house to myself to get some closure? Goddam.

I am sorry to hear that. Try doing a detailed video tour, to remember over the years, at least. I pretty much wanna do this to the house I grew up in haha.

I know exactly what you mean. That's like when I was saying goodbye to my car that I had for years that I was very attached to and the morning when the tow truck came to take her away for forever I was trying to have a moment and then my annoying fucking landlady showed up and blabbed to me the whole time and completely ruined it. I still hate her.

I find that a lot of the top-rated reviews are super old, so it's possible the company has fixed quality control issues from years ago. I look at the reviews sorted by newest to get a better idea of what to expect. But i hear you, it always throws me off to see a bunch of five-star reviews with one-star reviews in the mix. I guess you can just return anything that doesn't work out for you!

I'm so frustrated. I went to the mall but couldn't find a single shirt that wasn't a crop top. I swear everything is crop tops now. Bodysuits, and graphic t-shirts are the only shirts I can find that actually cover my stomach. I can't even find fucking sweaters that aren't cropped anymore. Maybe its because I'm shopping at cheap stores, and higher end stores are better? idk.

if anyone has suggestions, please tell me where to find some actual shirts. or at least a website that lets you filter out crop tops. ugh


edited to add: thrift stores used to be a good way to avoid the crop top plague, but now that resellers just buy up everything good to sell on depop and poshmark, I've found that thrift stores have been a huge bust lately :(

Idk American stores but in the UK I shop mostly at h&m (although their simple range seems to have decreased since years ago) and 'grown up' shops like Marks and Spencer. I used to like Uniqlo too for no nonsense clothes.

Even h&m had mostly crop tops last time I went in :( plus their clothes don't flatter me. I think they're made for people with no butts or boobs, their stuff looks great on my gf who has more of an androgynous body type, but fits terrible on me. uniqlo is mostly baggy fit or scoop neck, both are unflattering on me too :(

Thank you for the suggestions though, and I will definitely check out marks and spencer!

Shein has a lot of nice regular t shirts and you can also filter them by length (regular, long or crop)... I personally love them, so you might wanna take a look! https://eur.shein.com/Women-T-Shirts-c-1738.html?attr_values=Regular&ici=eur_tab01navbar04menu01dir01&scici=navbar_WomenHomePage~~tab01navbar04menu01dir 01~~4_1_1~~real_1738~~~~0&src_module=topcat&src_tab_page_id=page_real_class1655762619738&src_identifier=fc%3DWomen%60sc%3DCLOTHING%60tc%3DT OPS%60oc%3DT-Shirts%60ps%3Dtab01navbar04menu01dir01%60jc%3Dreal _1738&srctype=category&userpath=category-CLOTHING-TOPS-T-Shirts&attr_ids=54_546&exc_attr_id=54 (I did filter them by "regular" length already, but if it doesn't work, you filter it haha).

I can't stand when people get all "omg, you consume this food product - it's SO bad for you!" while they're consuming other similarly bad shit.

I was visiting a friend today, she offered me a drink and said she had regular soda and diet. I asked for diet. When she asked why, I said calories. "But it has aSpArTaMe! cAnCeR!"

I was like..... "And regular soda has an ass ton of sugar."

"But the cancer!"

Yeah, those studies found a link in rats if they gave them the equivalent of like 2,000 cans of diet soda per day. Like, I'm not saying it's GOOD for you, but it's not gonna be a whole lot worse than a regular soda. If you're concerned about soda, you gotta be concerned about all of it for being unhealthy. If you're still pounding 4 Cokes a day, you're not "saving yourself from cancer" by consuming the ungodly amounts of sugar instead of artificial sweetener...

Actually, both suck :)))) Artificial sweetner actually sucks more than sugar, I drink diet coke cuz I like the taste, but yeah... soda suck. Period. Hahahhaa.

There’s a handful of Uniqlo stores in the entire country here. The closest one to me right now is in Tyson’s Corner - D.C. Metro, and that’s a five hour and change drive on a good day, and a good day driving I95 from about Fredericksburg, Virginia to Baltimore is quite rare. I’m wary of shopping online because I’m short, have big boobs for my size, and am athletic… not your average combination, and shopping for clothes online has let me down more than once.

Found out why S and her girlfriend are making tracks out of Dodge… the gf’s uncle owned the building they were living in. He’s semi-retiring and scaling back, and that building was one of the ones he let go. The new owner/property management was going to jack their rate up almost $500/month if they renewed. Yay capitalism. They offered to pay me what they paid in their last lease, but hell with that… just do it like before, pitch in towards food and utilities and we’ll call it good. I don’t need two 20 year-olds paying my mortgage for me.

I'm still friends with 2 people who used to also be friends but aren't anymore - primarily because friend 1 doesn't want to forgive friend 2 for being a bitch in high school. Which is fine. I certainly remember her being bitchy to me back then as well, and we took a multi-year break in our friendship before reconciling. She's entitled to not forgive her and move on with her life. But the thing is, she DOESN'T move on with her life. Every time I see her, she somehow manages to bring up this other friend and complain about shit she did back in high school or even elementary school. Then she'll go on to ask me how she's doing or even mention that she perused her Facebook and ask how her kid is doing... like, if you don't care, why do you still... care?

I'm actually closer with friend 2 now than friend 1 and talk to her all the time. She's changed tremendously from when we were kids and has gone through a ton of personal growth. But even when I've tried to tell friend 1 this, she doesn't want to hear it. Again, fine, you aren't required to forgive anyone even if they've changed. But it's so stupid to keep complaining about how much you hate them for things they did 15-20 years ago that mean absolutely nothing now. And I mean, truly dumb shit - not like ruining their life. Friend 2 also legally changed her name over a decade ago, and no matter how many times I correct her, she'll still essentially dead-name her and insist on referring to her by her old name.

I've asked friend 2 how much she wants me to defend her, defend her name, or fight back for her, but she said she doesn't care. So, I just ignore it now. I don't participate. I either just nod like I'm listening or make vague statements like, "I'm sorry that happened."

But it's annoying. It's funny how friend 1 is the one who officially dissolved the friendship yet keeps harping on about it and asking about friend 2, while friend 2 was the one trying to reach out a few years ago and when she was told no, it's never going to happen, actually let go and stopped obsessing over it.

I don't understand why HR can't fix anything until I've messaged them about it 3 times. Every time they tell me they've fixed something and to give it 24 hours to reflect in the system, it's still the same 48 or 72 hours later. I swear they just glance at my schedule or profile without reading my actual complaint, think it looks fine, and just copy-paste a response telling me it's "fixed," thinking I'm just stupid and don't know what I'm looking at or talking about. There is ONE guy in HR there that I know will actually fix my issues quickly, the first time, if I go see him in person. But I can't do that this week.

The maintenance guy came and knocked on my door yesterday and I ignored it. My landlord didn't tell me he was coming. Then, she texts me and is like, hey Bobblehead is there to fix stuff. This is the second time he came by without confirming a day/time. So I told her I needed 24/hr notice and I was busy. So then she asked if he could fix it today. I said ok but I'm dreading it. This guy creeps me out. He smells like he took a bath in cigarette smoke. He will also try to make small talk with me...I'm like um get to work lol. I've also seen him looking around, like lingering by the bedroom trying to peek. He also randomly leaves ( to smoke with his buddies) , then comes back an hour later. So a project that should take an hour ends up being all day. And this is the 4th time he had to come here in 2 weeks. My friend told me he could've done this work last time though, he's just lazy. Ugh. And then I can't cam or shoot clips. Anyway he will be here soon. Hopefully it wont take too long.

Vanilla employers keep playing games. I have been job hunting 3 months and I haven't gotten shit. I keep getting turned down on Indeed for jobs that I would be PERFECT for and I don't know what the problem is! I have applied for several positions with one company and they have turned me down for every fucking one. WTF!!!??? I've applied for several positions in the medical field for office positions and I keep getting turned down there as well. What. The. FUCK! I'm trying here!!!! I've had several interviews in the past few weeks and they all keep playing games with their interview process.

I have revised my resume. I interview very well. I have a ton of experience and knowledge in my field. I don't get it! I don't want to fucking hear that "people don't want to work". Yes the fuck we do!!! These companies are just full of lying, time wasting assholes! If I wanted to deal with a bunch of bullshit like this, I would keep camming full time :banghead:

Agreed that is too much skin to show to the public for free. I hate how I have to type in Boyfriend tshirt's in google to find a normal shirt. I'm wearing a baggy Teenage mutant ninja turtles tshirt right now I got from target and I'm living for it!! lol

So a project that should take an hour ends up being all day. And this is the 4th time he had to come here in 2 weeks. My friend told me he could've done this work last time though, he's just lazy. Ugh. And then I can't cam or shoot clips. Anyway he will be here soon. Hopefully it wont take too long.

Why did he just ask if I was working? I ignored him, and asked about the wall he's working on. He tells me it's still wet and he has to come back in 45 minutes. Then he asked AGAIN if I was working. I go "umhm...ok see you in 45." He goes "oh will you still be working?" I'm walking away at this point. Then he just stands by the door for a minute before leaving and calls out " I like your shirt by the way!"

He better not ask me about work again.

I can't stand when people get all "omg, you consume this food product - it's SO bad for you!" while they're consuming other similarly bad shit.

I was visiting a friend today, she offered me a drink and said she had regular soda and diet. I asked for diet. When she asked why, I said calories. "But it has aSpArTaMe! cAnCeR!"

I was like..... "And regular soda has an ass ton of sugar."

"But the cancer!"

Yeah, those studies found a link in rats if they gave them the equivalent of like 2,000 cans of diet soda per day. Like, I'm not saying it's GOOD for you, but it's not gonna be a whole lot worse than a regular soda. If you're concerned about soda, you gotta be concerned about all of it for being unhealthy. If you're still pounding 4 Cokes a day, you're not "saving yourself from cancer" by consuming the ungodly amounts of sugar instead of artificial sweetener...

Exactly! As if there are not lots of things that would kill you if you got the same amount of sugar??
That's why I try to avoid any discussion except professionally regarding nutrition and diet.

Vanilla employers keep playing games. I have been job hunting 3 months and I haven't gotten shit. I keep getting turned down on Indeed for jobs that I would be PERFECT for and I don't know what the problem is! I have applied for several positions with one company and they have turned me down for every fucking one. WTF!!!??? I've applied for several positions in the medical field for office positions and I keep getting turned down there as well. What. The. FUCK! I'm trying here!!!! I've had several interviews in the past few weeks and they all keep playing games with their interview process.

I have revised my resume. I interview very well. I have a ton of experience and knowledge in my field. I don't get it! I don't want to fucking hear that "people don't want to work". Yes the fuck we do!!! These companies are just full of lying, time wasting assholes! If I wanted to deal with a bunch of bullshit like this, I would keep camming full time :banghead:

Going through the same. Endless hours of company/position research, applications, assessments, interviews, etc only to be told NO at the end.

I personally think networking is the best way to get the best job (ex your brother in law works for HR at a well known company and can help increase your chances of getting hired). The online job boards are work sifting through and many of those positions are entry level modern day corporate “slave” positions so it could be a blessing in disguise.

Just my opinion of it however your experience can be different

Keep going, keep tweaking, keep increasing your value to the marketplace/employer, and keep staying positive and you’ll find the best opportunity for you whether it’s with your current position or another field

Agreed, I recently heard some research that said one of the biggest reasons for the wage/achievement gap between Black and white people is due to friendship vs acquaitance differences. White people tend to have a lot of acquaintances, while Black people tend to have smaller groups of tight-knit friends and less acquaintances. Studies show that MOST well paying jobs are acquired through acquaintances (not friendships! surprisingly).

If you haven't already, put out a call on social media that you're looking for a position in xyz field and a super short sentence w/ your experience and ask if anyone knows of anything or can recommend you. And bring it up in conversation when you meet new people too.

Online applications used to streamline the app process, but now days it just makes it so sooooo many people apply for jobs that its impossible to sort through all the applications and they basically go into a black hole. Almost all jobs are through recruiters or networking now. Or else being literally the first person to apply. I also recommend calling or sending emails to the hiring manager if you can find their info to make yourself stand out.

Considering I am not from US and I live in an Eastern European country, I can tell that this applies, in fact, to everyone. At least, here is the same thing. You get the job trough connections, not trough interview. The interviews are just a legal umbrella, to show they have been actually looking for candidates, before giving the job to the person that has been brought there trough reccomendations or nepotism.
In my country is well known that companies list the jobs, just to check the "play fair" mark, but in the end, the one that gets the job is already selected. Of course, you still have a chance, but you gotta stand out somehow.
10+ for the last phrase. I was going to say the same thing, it does help when you actually call or email another address than the one listed in the announcement. It works wonders, usually!

Ugh smother was in kitchen as I walked in with a bag of groceries to cook spaghetti earlier tonight and told me dinner was ready. I politely declined and said I'm making something in a bit, thnx though. She kept talking as I walked towards the room saying but I already cooked... I'm not cooking tmrw. Ok but I'm in the mood for what I bought. She left the kitchen and I made my dinner. Felt great to stand up to her finally and deny her slop she expected me to eat, which was very little amount of marinara sauce and corkscrew pasta topped with Vienna wieners from the can ewwwww!

P.s I NEVER ask her to cook for me & neither does my bf. She doesn't communicate, she just gets in there throws some garbage together and demands people here eat it. Nooope! Not today or ever Satan.

It's super hard right now. I've been looking for something new on and off for over a year. It's very disheartening.

One other thing that helped me get a job is to put my photo on my resume. I thought it would backfire because I have lots of tattoos, but the opposite happened; as soon as I put my photo on my resume I started getting interviews when I wasn't before. Pretty privilege helps sometimes.

Absolutely! Pretty privilege is real, it's fact.

Aggravated with the still full shelters and DHS referring me to resources that I can't use because a.) I'm not a teen mom b.) I'm not an unwed mom expecting my first child. I've got 3 kids. Apparently nobody cares about unwed geriatric moms with multiple kids. Section 8 wait list is 16-24 months. I'm on the waiting list. Yeah, totally makes sense for me to pay to live in a motel room when I could save money by having my own place. Ugh.

This B. I talked to, hung up on me.
I called back and asked for a supervisor, they were getting one, & I just hung up, no time for this shit.

Anyway , I contacted Bbb.org
