So there's this girl in my English class that's really cute, and I really want to talk to her and get to know her. Obviously I want to ask her out too, but I really want to just get to know her first. The problem is I have no idea how to start the conversation organically and not have it seem like I'm just trying to pick her up or something. We've had class twice so far, and we've barely said anything to each other, although today we got assigned to the same group for a research essay type thing and we all introduced ourselves to each other. We have class again on Thursday and I just need some ideas on how to approach her. She leaves when class is over pretty much immediately so it needs to be in class unless you guys also have ideas on how to approach her if I see her outside of class too (Which is unlikely, I'm telling you, as soon as class ends she disappears)

This ended up way longer than I expected it to.

TLDR: How to approach and talk to a girl in your class you don't know, and have the convo flow organically
>>
Take it cool OP, be yourself. Ik, it's hard and I've been in the same shoes. But just talk to her like any other friend, and be a bit of a tease. Don't be all nice, add some banter in there too. Just be confident and don't be a pussy. that's the best advice I can give.

>>18717601
What kind of class, what kind of project? Could you set up some collaboration in person?

If you are alpha enough just cash her ousside and say hey youre totally my type, wanna netflix and chill after class?

Hello /adv/. I have a problem that's honestly hurting me alot more than I think it should.

Basically, I have a narcissistic friend. It's an online friend, but someone I used to appreciate alot... and still do, I guess, since I'm here asking this.

Early into our relationship (at some point I was her BFF) I could see she was extremely critical of others, needlessly cruel, very punitive whenever she'd consider someone was "misbehaving" and sure enough, at some point her abuse turned on me. At first I turned a blind eye at her bad behavior (for example, would pretend to be offline, etc), I was somehow proud that I was one of the "quality people" accepted into her circle. But I still went with it. Like a doormat, or an idiot.

And sure enough, I eventually lost my value and she began talking to me as if I was an idiot, she started to pull my skills down and talk down to me, etc. I am humble, and can for sure tell you that, while I am no expert in the field we both develop in, I am far from a talentless hack. Yet she'd implied this multiple times.

I think i may be able to pinpoint the exact moment when my value was "stained" forever (even though I had been treated with condescension before): it was one time when she was being basically a jerk to a bunch of people from our circle, and I confronted her privately. Long story short, she grabbed every single one of my explanations, turned them around, took advantage of the fact she's a much faster typer than I am (I'm not a native english speaker). The discussion ended in (and my blood still boils by just typing it) "there's nothing to discuss here". She told me that, even though I was trying to be honest, and tell her that she was HURTING me.

>online friend
Stopped reading right there. If it's online then it's not a real relationship. It's just pixels on a screen, nothing more.
>>
You didn't even finish the story but you're describing exactly what happened to me too OP lol
>>
I tried to recover the old times, and for a while it even seemed to work, but then she became more abusive than ever, and many times had indirectly implied that my work is worthless thrash, with 0% positives.

She was (still is, I guess?) hurting others as well, but everyone was terrified of her. To the point some have became inactive now, and those who are active, and who actually agree with me (I did the venting with them), still seem to be squirming under her thumb, and seem to always be looking for her approval.
Some seem to have gotten it, by... basically agreeing with everything she says, not questioning in the slightest, and posting long sad rants whenever they can't fulfill the rules she established. Also, when talking privately to such friends, in search of support, a couple of them have told me "she doesn't do it because she's mean. That's just how she is". But narc friend even seems to take pride (she mentions it very often, and no one but me seems to have an issue with that) in that she is very abrasive and doesn't mind hurting feelings. She even admits to be full of spite and bitterness. She still has a circle of people who blindly admires her and think she's the most reasonable, and even the KINDEST people ever (and I've seen her talk down to some of these people too. NONE OF THEM SEEM TO MIND).

I pointed out to Narc friend that I will play by my rules (it does not affect anyone else: we're all part of an art site), uploading when I want, or when I can. She now doesn't give me the time of the day, except very occasionally, and even then her comments always rub me the wrong way. Am I being judgemental? Am I being paranoid?

Okay /adv/ time to live up to your name.

I think im being targeted by a potential school shooter. Im scared. Terrified even.
I will gladly admit that i am afraid of death, and ill do anything i can to prevent it from coming sooner.
So, heres how it started.

>two days ago
>at school, second period
>im working on math homework
>suspect sitting next to me
>suspect gets up stabbs the guy behind me with a pencil
>he broke skin
>those of us that were sitting near him were in utter shock
>the guy behind me (lets call him bill) is staring at me
>im staring at him
>we both knew exactly what we were thinking
"What the fuck just happened?"
>substitute teacher and TA are too lazy to notice
>so
>we decide to have a little fun with our suspect
>bill asks the suspect why he did that
>suspect hands him a pencil
>bill doesnt know what to do
>a few minutes pass
>the suspect takes the pencil back
>suspect says that he wanted bill to stab him back as a form of apology
>i start to chuckle under my breath
>give an example on how terrible that logic is
>bill and nearby classmates think that i roasted the fuck out of him
>they laugh hysterically
>suspect is not pleased
>suspect tries to justify that he tried stabbing someone over the excuse that he has bad hearing
"My mother is half deaf. I dont see her stabbing anyone any time soon."
>classmates lose their shit
>suspect tries once more
"I didnt kill you did I?"
>even im laughing at this point
> point out how flawed his logic is once again
>suspect remains silent for the rest of the period
>the next day
>suspect is acting really kind towards me
>i feel like he's trying to gain my trust so he can get me alone and turn on me
>im scared

Fast forward to right now.
I'm pretty spooked of this guy.
I feel like i should skip school tomorrow.
Sadly, thats not an option.
My parents are already pissed at me for a few absences because of illnesses.
What do i do?

I met a girl at a convention and got her number. We went on a date and hung out a few times which led to cuddling and sex. It seems pretty obvious that we should get together but I feel weird on the inside.

I like her enough to feel possessive but not enough to date her. There are some flaws I have trouble over looking but the good stuff is also hard to let go of. I've never been at the point where I'm so unsure of dating someone. It's not about red flags or anything like that because she has a personality and mindset that lets me trust her, but I just don't know if my feelings will fade away or get more intense, and I don't want to date her and accidentally play with her heart knowing that I didn't really feel sure from the start.

I haven't had a girlfriend in three years and this is the first girl I even feel has come close to being date-able. If I let her go it may be a long time until I meet another, and I may regret not going for it.

Basically I'm torn between a likelihood of regret of not going for it, or guilt for going for it.

I'm depressed. What should I do with this situation?

+1 on the go for it if you feel like you're gonna regret not going for it. But if this is gonna bother you in the future, why not just be honest with how you feel? "Hey not necessarily looking for a fwb but I'm not sure where this is going. But I do know for sure I enjoy your company and want to keep exploring this.."

I just watched my best friend get arrested.

I've never posted on this board before but I could use some law related advice.
Just an hour ago my friend and I got pulled over and searched, the cops found his stash of weed. They arrested him while I just sat there scared. He took full responsibility since it was his weed, I'm home safe and sound while he's spending his night in a jail cell. I feel guilty, should I take partial responsibility? It wasn't my weed or my car but I smoke with him all the time.
I'm looking for legal advice, we live in Texas and I just spent my last hour researching marijuana laws in this state but to no avail. It's just showing me what amount leads to what charge, the problem is that I don't know the amount. He kept it in a small jar and we're both poor college students so I doubt he had much. What is he in for and what should I do, /adv/?

He's fucked now. what you should have done is both of you adamantely say it's not yours u drove a friend home last night or something like that.

Your friend is just going to have to take a worse plea deal because he admitted it was his.

>>18717493
If you don't know how much he had, how are we supposed to help you? He needs a lawyer who can talk to him and find out what he's being charged with. Tell him to get a lawyer.

This. Unless you're going into a field that uses math, it doesn't matter. I was great at math in high school, but I studied law and I use next to none of it.

The problem is that society is saying that the only way to make money is through STEM fields. Then you get people like me and OP, who are not good at math. And we feel like failures in this society. I'd like to apply to law school, but I'm told it's a meme degree with zero prospects unless you have nepotism or a top 20 school on your resume.

/adv/,

I haven't spoken with my endocrinologist for over a year, and my levothyroxine prescription ran out ages ago. I need a prescription to fill the next few months before I find a new doctor after I move state, but I don't know who to turn to. Is there an online pill mill I could use?

I know my most recent dosage (175mcg) worked well, and frankly my mental health over the last year and now are NOT good. I do NOT want to go back hat in hand to my doctor or explain to my family doctor how much I've let fall through the cracks for the past 12 months. Dude literally speaks to my parents every other week due to THEIR health problems, and it'd be awfully awkward.

Any ideas?

I've been looking into that, but my last prescription expired. The great majority of online prescription places are "legit" now. The sites that DON'T ask for a prescription seem sketchy as Hell.

Any ideas? Any pill sites that don't ask for a script but haven't poisoned anyone (lately)?
>>
Shameless self-bumping here; I really need to figure out a solution here.

Has anyone had luck obtaining an online prescription like this?

I'm losing my god damn mind and I don't know what to do.

She dumped me a few weeks ago. We dated for a few months. I see my friend's snaps and facebook posts and shit and see her hanging out with them and it crushes me. It literally triggers me. Seeing her in general ruins my entire day. I saw her in public once and I just froze up and stuttered like an autist.

We ended on good terms, and she still followed me on Insta and is still FB friends with me, so I don't want to remove her because I feel like I'll admit defeat.

I've exhausted all my resources. I've bitched to all my friends about her, and they've all passive-aggressively expressed how they don't want to deal with it. Still, it helped in the moment, but it's not helping now.

I feel like I'm going insane, like the world is fucking closing in on me. I'm on my second year of college and I can't focus on shit. She's on my mind 24/7 and I don't know what to do.

What the fuck do I do to stop this? I've done everything in the fucking book but I just can't stop feeling like shit over her while she moves on with her life and shit. I even read a study that suggested Advil reduces the pain of heartbreak and took 2 tablets a day for a week. This needs to stop and I am very fucking desperate at this point.

I get you guys aren't psychs or experts, but at least point me to some direction where I could get help, I would be grateful

Third world country guy desperately trying to get out.

I'm 20 and lost my job recently. I finished highschool but I can't get into college because neither me nor my family have any money.

I really don't want to go back to shitty call center jobs making 20USD a day.

I want out of here, I know that even the shittiest of jobs in other countries give you a way better life than here. Plus the benefits of not fearing someone robbing/killing you or your family at random.

I don't want to immigrate to the US because I don't like the idea of not being able to go out of there and meet the world, because then you won't be able to go back home.

What can I do? What's the best way I can get out of here? I'm willing to do any kind of job in another country, I just want out of here ASAP.

I'm from Mexico, if it helps.

Go to college in mexico, or sneak into the u.s.
>>
>>18717352
I can't pay for college, even if I do get another shitty call center job, it would take me years and years of savings to be able to pay for college.

I literally have no support from my family either.

Would saving for a plane ticket somewhere (like Europe or Nordics or something) and trying to get a job doing whatever there be doable? Is there an actual chance that could work?
>>
Best bet is to illegally sneak to US, save some money, get a college degree or some other marketable skill, nurse, physiotherapist, laboratory technician etc. Then with that try to emigrate somewhere. Nordics are very strict on immigration, as illegal it's impossible to get hired, level of state control is incredible. Europe only some southern or eastern parts, but you would be miserable there as well.

Considering we have been dealing with them for over 718 years now and still haven't been able to completely remove them, I reckon nobody has an answer to your question.
>>
>>18717340
The Mongols managed to btfo them, but they're a fucking plague.
>>
First step is to determine where they're coming from in the first place. For example I've been in the following circumstances with roaches:

- saw them occasionally around the house. determined they were just coming from outside since at night you could see them crawling around under the deck and it's a wooded area so there's just bugs in general, and i didn't see more than one of them at a time

- they were crawling out of the sewer because when i moved into my new house, the plumbing hadn't been used in months - solved by just running water through the pipes and closing off drains

if you're seeing them everywhere inside the house you are infested and need an exterminator to help you, since killing the ones you just see is gonna do nothing to get rid of them

Yes, yes you can.

For $500, it is actually alright. Normally the vehicles I see up for sale at that price state that they are to be used for wreckage or parts purposes only.
>>
I lived in one here and there for years. $500 is a good price as long as it's in decent condition.

>leaks will happen; you'll need to repair them
>it can get cramped
>an older one like that might need some replacement wiring done
>you might be better off gutting it out and remodeling everything
>by doing this you'll end up spending well over $500.

I still have one I live in sometimes. It's fun but it's not for everyone.

How do a make friends (or reconnect with older friends)

As a 20 year old guy, I'm having a hard time having good friends I go out often with. I don't really like alcohol so most parties are pretty boring to me and I can't seem to find other stuff to do with my friends I usually talk to outside of school. I sometimes go to restaurants with them but that doesn't happen on a regular basis. I feel like the day I'll get married I'll have no one to invite.

Any advice on how to make new friends and/or stuff I could do to strength my friendship with my older friends (when I say older friends I mean people I've know for a long time).
