>what should I bring and how much?
pic

>how do I talk to people for an extended period of time? how do i stop thinking about when the best time for me to leave would be?

just drink the beer and be yourself, itll be fine

bring one (1) 750mL bottle of whatever is < $20 at your local liquor store

socializing gets easier if you drink (but try not to drink too much).

don't plan to leave. either everyone will go around the same time, maybe you can go home with one or more people, maybe there will be an after party, maybe you'll get kicked out by the host, maybe the cops will come and arrest everyone, or maybe you can pass out and spend the night

don't try to plan the future just live in the moment

>>18719450
If it's your face on OP don't go there. You're gonna get raped if you don't bring the bottle you'll drink.
Beware of what people put in your glass. Don't get drunk, you don't have any friends to care about you when drunk.

Anyway, there is no point in going to a byob party if you're not that type of guy/girl. If you're chasing a crush it won't work : you're too different.

>>18719375
Then why don't you stand up, and start doing some fucking chores you immature ass kid? If you say the place looks like a fucking red neck lives there, then you're obviously not helping clean that shit.

>>18719392
I do but while me and my dad are at work all day he's at home messing it up again it's ridiculous. I don't understand why he can't clean up after himself

>>18719423
Maybe because your shit brother is a dirty junkie?

>first few semester of College
>Mechanical Engineering Degree

when you actually take a mechanical engineering class in 1.5 years come back and let us know if you liked it or not.

>Mech Eng
No personal experience but from what I understand these are the guys who go insane chasing after .01% manufacturing efficiency boosts in stupid mass produced parts nobody cares about.
>Computer Engineering
My uncle did that up at Intel's Hillsboro location before they canned him to bring in fresh meat. After nearly 10 years working there. You ARE disposable and it's easier to replace you than retrain you as the wheels of progress crush you. Now he does datacenter something or whatever. He's trying to get into firmware design somewhere but no luck because all his experience is with microprocessor logic gates. Hard to apply that to anything else.
>Computer Systems Engineering
Bachelors? Fat chance of finding a job.
>Cybersecurity
This was my major for a while before I decided not to wager my career on P ?= NP. It's just highly focused software engineering, but still pretty damn versatile class wise. It might be hard to persaude employers of that though, especially if you get an interview with the HR bitch instead of the head designer. The thing is a software engineer will have no problem convincing anyone they're capable of sec with the right certs.
Whatever you do, don't do computer science unless you actually want to do research and development on a theoretical level, and that's doctorate tier. A bachelors in CS is the new associates in liberal arts.

>>18720174
Try a non mechanical engineering. But engineering is so hard, not everyone is a heavy hitter like that OP. Join the darkside of business school, if you take initiative you can learn high levles of math and apply that to your education.

But again, Mech engineering is shit. They don't do mech engineering anymore. The chinese do that.

Don't worry, if it was a bit it isn't really dangerous, but if you start to feel sick, go to the hospital

>>18719292
You'll be fine, OP. You should have played around with it some more, maybe find some aluminum and put the mercury on it.

OP here how much time should i ventilate the room so it's safe? Are there long term consequences

>>18718968
Bitcoin

>>18718973
How much would you say is a good start?
I'd like to diversify my investments

>>18718973
>>18718989
DO NOT invest in bitcoin.
It is literally a meme, and as people are finding out now, A Ponzie Scheme.
JP Morgan CEO released a statement recently saying that it's a good investment if you're a drug dealer already dealing with illegal currency, but it serves no purpose for regular people.
The crypto market is highly volatile and you will have trouble getting the Bitcoin back into cash even IF you make some returns.

I am not sure about the car industry, but I do know that they are hard to make money on, even if you're doing the work.
Flipping houses is difficult because of the competition with other buyers, and the best way to get into flipping is to buy foreclosures, which means you have to deal with the banks; the banks only want cash and aren't looking to finance a house if you only have 20k.

That being said, 20,000 dollars isn't a lot of money, it would be good to invest it into education or renovating your home that you currently have.

Times are tough. Good luck.

I'm sure it's nothing worth seeing an ophthalmologist over.

Lose some weight.
Hit the gym.
Get a haircut.

It's not about luck, it's about learning.

There are high school drop outs who managed to save up to a million before they got to their 40's.

>listen to Dave Ramsey on YouTube or podcasts, debt is the stupidest fucking thing to take on
>save money, set an entertainment budget
>SAVE MONEY

If you want women

>talk to women and legit try listening instead of panicking about what you'll say next. Conversations are meant to be fluid and filled with meaning, not a chess game where you plan out every word

Get /fit/ and get /fa/, that's all people, and especially women, care about when making a first impression. Look good and dress okay and you'll be swimming in a social life.

ANYONE CAN DO THIS YOU ARE JUST LAZY

If you don't have a job, get one even if it's shitty and you're in school

>>18718631
The world aint fair man.

I wish I had that normal life
I wish my parents weren't divorced
I wish my dad wasn't a meth addict
I wish my mom wasn't bipolar
I wish I could've done sports in school
or participated in after school programs at all
or been able to talk to counselors about my problems
or been able to go outside and play in the yard
or had a a video game console that wasn't in pawn every other month
or had clean clothes and water to bathe in
i wish my ex GF didn't make fun of me for growing up the way I did
I wish at least one of the cars I've owned over the years had working AC
I wish I graduated high school, and went to college, and had a great family to support me to become whatever I could've been capable of.
I wish my friends didn't all turn to drug addictions and ripping people off


and I hate it when I see other people who had all of that be worthless pieces of shit.

Source? Especially on how many have done this

>>talk to women and legit try listening instead of panicking about what you'll say next. Conversations are meant to be fluid and filled with meaning, not a chess game where you plan out every word

Come on dude, i hear day in day out women absolutely hate men like this. the guys that won't take no for an answer.

What am I missing?

What grants people success is still some form of luck, not a calculated formula

>>18712565
You can't just tell her you've decided to live a life of celibacy? That'll get her off your back

>>18712577
She already knows that I have a girlfriend.

>>18712580
Why do you need to give her an explanation at all?

idk but can a mod ban my ass my life is finally going good and i wanna go live my life now and pet my cat taco

I installed a chrome app called "block site" and just put websites there I didn't wish myself to visit anymore.
Just having that blockade up helps a lot, even though I could just remove it from the list.
It also helped me to block any websites that remind me of those websites in any way.

you dont

>>18719012
That's why therapists are there. Tell them straight up. Who made you feel worthless growing up?

The best solution is probably showing your therapist the picture of your cock with the derogatory terms.

Also, should I readd the guy and ask him if he could delete that picture?

lol, weak dude. i haven't been laid in 4 years and i'm not likely to ever find a woman. and i don't have a full bank account to make that feel better either. i have nothing going for me and no motivation to do anything. lazy and depressed. possibly related to feeling no hope regarding any chance at a relationship and knowing most women are sour grapes anyways so even if by some miracle i did get a gf she would probably be a cunt.

meanwhile 80% of divorces are initiated by the woman, usually because she thinks she's trading up to a better man. women feel no guilt about trading up, loyalty is basically a masculine concept.

anyways, just fake having a girlfriend i guess. women are attracted to men that they think other women are attracted to.

but yeah, you're basically in a better boat then most of us. most of us don't have any money. just having money makes you more attractive to women so let them know you have a full bank account. they're all greedy shits anyways. show the flies some honey.

anyways the worst of the break up feels are right now, it gets better over time. especially if you get laid elsewhere even if the thought disgusts you. after that di you really think it's going to be years and years with no female contact, with no woman attracted to you? for years? you've been trying for a week dude so calm down.

most guys on 4chan probably have it a lot worse then you.

>>18718766
Even if I'm in a better place than some other people, the fact that I went downhill so hard on a single year, from being completely happy to being completely miserable is what bothers me

A few years ago, when I had no money and no girls I wasn't even close to be as sad as I am nowadays, having something and losing it is way worse than never having it

>>18718725
Look on the bright side op.

You've got enough disposable income to soak up any poor decision making on account of your grief, should the occasion ever arise.

>>18717443
>the premise
>I've always considered sex to be meaningless,
>As such, I've avoided relationships

The premise is a non-sequitur. I think you're fucking retarded and have no idea what a relationship is about. I also think rather than you avoiding relationships, people have probably have probably avoided you. I don't even know you and just from this one post I think you're a silly cunt.

It actually makes sense if you read the bit in between.

Anybody knows this type of personality?
what is to be expected of such person?

>be her
>26yo
>claim you're not right in the head
>take literally every single piece of advice on how to change it
>electroshocks included
> as well as full medical search for somatic problems
>as well as meditation, yoga, etc.
>still, the actual problems you claim to have are minor mood swings, nothing more.
>think that's bipolar disorder
>call a guy sexy and hot
>don't fuck him, because "have borders"

have you ever seen a person like this?
any insights?
(I have some experience in dating, especially some crazy girls. I know the situation is complicated, possibly dangerous, etc. No need to warn me. I just wish to understand that person)

Guess I'll ask here instead

Ladies
When you're dating a guy, how long does it usually take you to get comfortable with him to the point of holding hands, kissing, and doing cutesy couple shit?

The girl I've been dating said that it'd take another six months before she would do any of that stuff, so I left the relationship.

>>18715351
A few dates.

>>18720075
You said she has the mentality of a child right? Then no matter what this will not end nicely.

Don't post gay fucking pics like that.

>>18720075
Depends how far the relationship has gone and how intermingled your lives are.

If you still have fairly separate lives then just cutting her off completely shouldn't be a problem.

If you two share all the same places and friends I recommend scorched earth.

There is no remain friends option here.
