Hi /adv/,

I'm a natural born US citizen, and I've thought about the idea of moving out to another Anglophone country (possibly the UK), and I've heard of the concept of Dual Citizenship.

Dual citizenship would make me both a citizen of the US, and a citizen of the UK (or whatever country I choose). This idea fascinates me because If I were to move to the UK, I would want to be a citizen there, but I wouldn't want to give up my US citizenship for the sake of my family back in the US.

Now this is going to be a long way down the road, even if it happens at all, but I was curious if any of you had experience with this and what some of the advantages/disadvantages there would be, and if you think the Diplomatic situation in the coming years will be suitable for it.

Trying to revise my resume for better chances at finding a new job, since I've been laid off since January.

I've been doing freelance illustration for over 8 years, and I had the full-time job for 3.5 years. While I'd love to continue doing freelance, the commissions have been few and far between, so I'd like a full-time job just to maintain a stable income.

Going vack to my resume, should my freelance illustration experience be listed as one job, with the individual work I've done as the job's duties?
Or should I list each commissioned freelance project I've done as separate jobs? Just some were for companies, and others were for individuals who just wanted a fabart request.

What would you do?

I probably should have asked this earlier in the day, but I guess better late than never.

So as a 21 y/o male I have been diagnosed with ankylosing spondylitis. My rheumatologist recommended that I go on Humira. I talked to my general doctor too and he said that it would probably be a good idea to get it sorted out as early as possible.

However, both doctors did remind me about the side effects of the medicine and since it lowers my immune system, I would be more susceptible to infections and disease.

I just wanted to ask if any of you also have ankylosing spondylitis or know of people who have it about the lifestyle. Whether or not humira is a good way to go or not.

I'm just worried about the unknown long-term effects. I'm worried about a lifestyle worrying when the next infection will come around. I feel like I'll have so many more precautions that I'll have to jump through than I already have.

My asthma is well controlled and I know that I won't have to worry about it. I have another disease that affects my esophagus if I eat something I'm reactive to, but that is also well controlled and I don't have to worry about it. Both of these come with medications that I know I can continue taking without being worried I'll get cancer or TB.

Humira changes everything, and I think the anxiety won't be worth living through. BUT that's just my opinion. I have looked up reviews of humira working for AS but I thought I'd also ask you guys too. Should I be worried? Is it worth it in the long run? What is the lifestyle? Do you have it? Do your friends have it? What -can- they do? What -can't- they do?

I see my rheumatologist to talk about it again in a few hours. And I'm not sure if I'm confident enough to make a decision just yet.

So alright here's the quick rundown background. We dated for a year and a half. Things were really good, at least from my side of things. She was/is my first love and I'm almost 28, so it was hard to find someone I really clicked with. Every other girl was a few month thing and I never invested any emotions really.
The one thing that didn't work out and was probably the death of our relationship was jealousy issues. I have only like two female friends that I see once every few months, but she absolutely couldn't stand them. Anytime they'd text me, want to do something, or I'd hang out with them my ex would become very upset.
Usually I'd be really good about calling her, reassuring her I'm not interested in those girls and only her. But I messed up a month ago. She saw I texted my female friend and it bugged her. I had a lot of outside things affecting my life and was stressed out, and I pushed her away instead of calling her and fixing things immediately. I was also upset back with her for not trusting me.
Anyways, she broke up with me 3 days after that fight. It's been one of the toughest months honestly, I don't think falling in love was worth it when all I can think about now is someone I can't be with.

Okay advice part, all I want is her back.I don't know how to do that though. I feel like if we just broke up over that fight, we can work on things and maybe see a counselor for the jealousy problem. But maybe that was just the "final straw" on top of many other issues we had.
I just don't know what to do.

Everywhere I go, all I see are people more attractive than me, better spoken than me, more intelligent than me.

How do I cope with having an inferiority complex? The only things I'm 'good' at are things that only I care about. On the other hand, if I versed myself in things most other people care about, I'd wind up hating myself in a matter of minutes.

So I've been playing some video games with a group of friends that my best friend introduced me to. There's this girl playing with us, that I've heard a lot of bad shit about. Like the fact that she's had sex with over 15 guys in the past year. I didn't intertact much with her for this reason.

Last night I met her IRL, she's good looking, and we pretty much have the same sense of humor. She added me on Facebook as soon as we parted ways.

What do? Should I go for it? I'm not the kind of guy who fucks around.

When is it a good idea to medicate anxiety?

I've always been on the shy/quiet side because of it and overthink think things till my head hurts so that's nothing new. As of lately though I've been waking up from dreams that leave me with a tight feeling in my chest and and then this feeling will come and go throughout the day . It's starting to drive me crazy because I can't focus on anything when I get like that , it puts me in a shitty mood, amd my mind starts racing about everything wrong in my life.

I'm not sure if I should just deal with it or see a doc, because honestly I'm just sick of living like this. I know one option is to deal with the things giving me anxiety, but at this point in my life I feel like it's stopped me from actually facing them. I've tried self medicating with booze and weed and various substances but it's only a temporary relief that leaves you worse off in the long run

Is it time to see a doc?

Watching psychology lecture which insists people need a few basic things:

1) good relationship with parents
2) significant other
3) Kids
4) Friends

Essentially if one lacks 1 of these things, they can make it up with a valid "excuse" say if you were an artist who was really involved in their work.

Anyways my question is, if one lacks more than one of these things over their lifetime, is it possible to stay mentally healthy? I'm already fucked on 3 of the 4.

>Pic unrelated, the Lightning is just a pretty sick jet.

So there's this gril at my school who I've been casual friends with for 4-5 years. I've spent 3 of those years trying to figure out whether I like her, whether she likes me, and how to approach the issue if at all.
A couple of months ago, following a dream in which she asked "Anon, do you love me?", I got sick of waiting.
I spent about two weeks trying to find the right moment between classes to ask her out, but being an awkward mild-autist (part of my charm, I thought) I sent an email to do the job for me.
The following Tuesday she confronted me personally, saying that she was flattered but that her parents didn't want her getting into a relationship at the moment.
It's now a few months later and we maintain a somewhat uncomfortable friendship when we happen upon each other, and it seems like we might be getting back to the same sort of levels that we were at before I sent the email.
School's out for the summer, what do when we return for 6th form?

Someone asked me on Linkedin if I'm interested in working in the company he is employed at. He is in a lead position and searching for new employees. He likes my Github portfolio so he wrote me. I replied that I'm very interested and gave my phone number. That was about 1,5 weeks ago and he didn't reply.

Does that mean he found someone else and is not interested anymore? Or is it normal to take that much time?

Anyone here with expat/relocation experience and especially making the decision?

I've moved to the UK for a job 5 years ago, and it looks like that a very real chance to hop to the US will present itself in the next year or so, which is something I always wanted to do. I've actually been to the place in the US I'd be moving to, and it's great (job, people, area) - so that's all good.

However I'd move even further away (10h flight instead of 2h) from family (and they are not happy about that prospect) and some close friends in mainland Europe. I've recently moved into a new place here as well, and for the first time in years, I'm actually quite happy where I am with my awesome housemate, despite the fact that the town itself is a bit of a craphole.

Wat do? I expect that I have to make a decision sooner than later, and I think I'm afraid that an opportunity like this won't come around (realistically speaking, chances are it will though).
