How fucked am I if I refuse to go to college? I live in a fairly affluent area where it's pretty much assumed that people will go to college, even if they're dumb as rocks. But I don't think I can keep going.
Ever since I was a little shit, I've been questioning my teachers and calling their bullshit. And when I was little and that was kind of cute, they'd entertain my little questions and debates. But as I got older, it became more and more of a problem.
It's not that I'm so full of myself that I think I'm always automatically right -- hell, there have been times I've intentionally made some poorly-formed arguments with the expectation that they'd call ME out. I keep expecting them to say, "No, you're wrong, here's why," but instead it's always "No, you're wrong, shut up." And I get that I can't just be constantly derailing class with my bullshit, but at the same time I can't just sit quietly and bottle up all this shit to myself. It's what I've been doing the past couple of years(finally "learned my lesson") and it honestly feels like I'm slowly dying inside.
It's gotten to the point where I have semi-regular nightmares of teachers just shouting at me, calling me a piece of shit, etc., I instinctively flinch/bite my tongue every time a question pops into my head(not just in school, everywhere), I have an irrational hatred for anything related to school and/or teachers. I'm probably being melodramatic but it almost feels as if I've developed a kind of school PTSD.
But I don't know what else to do. I've never been especially skilled at anything, or good with people(as you can imagine). To someone who didn't know about my "history," they'd probably think I'd end up in academia somewhere. I've actually had people straight up tell me I should be a professor. What the fuck do I do?

Learn a trade and open a business if your so pissed scared of being told off, or biting your tongue. People will generally give you shit for the decision at first, but if you work hard you can throw that shit back in their face.

Why the hell didn't you do Debate, crazy?
Are you too much of a dumbass to realize that your God-given talent may very well be telling motherfuckers why they are wrong?
I had the same exact problem as you. But I took my ass to the Debate team and got MVP status my first year there.
OP, go to college. Join a debate team. Do things that exploit your ability to call those pieces of shit out on their damn lies and prove why they're goddamn pig-fucking, dick-sucking, cock-gobbling sons of bitches.
Godspeed, young buck. And God bless your combative personality.

After more than two years, my gf broke up with me. She is currently doing an internship in New Zealand, and is halfway through her time there. She broke up with me because our communication was lacking. Basically, I took her for granted and didn't pay as much attention to her life and stories (despite actually being interested in them), as well as not being there enough for her. For instance, her grandfather was in the hospital and I tried to cheer her up, take her mind off it. Of course, I should have just supported her but being the idiot I am I really thought I was helping. There were many small instances of me just being too distant (or maybe it looking like that because WhatsApp is all you have in long distance), giving her sleepless nights and overall bad days. All of this accumulated, and though she did try to talk to me about it we didn't get through it. Maybe because I didn't understand it, maybe because she had trouble explaining me what was wrong, probably a combination of the two. I have been having trouble with trust and am overall a bit pessimistic (except with her). For these troubles, I am going to a psychologist because I already felt it was troubling our relationship. My ex-gf knew this and supported me.
Last week she decided it was too much and broke up with me. We hadn't talked for a week, and today we talked again. Needless to say, my planned trip to NZ won't be happening. We were planning on going to the US with friends, but now only one of us could go. Although I would have loved to go, she had spent much more time planning. Besides, I love her and want her to be happy, so who am I to not let her go?
I told her that I was sorry, and how bad I felt that it took a break up to realise all of this. I told her she is still an amazing person, and that she deserves to be the happiest person in the world. She told me that she wanted to stay out of contact for around a month, so it would be easier to heal. Afterwards maybe slowly start talking again.

cont: Anons, this girl was the love of my life. I've had gfs in the past, but with this one I've really felt that she is the one. I feel terrible for making someone I love so much feel so bad. Right now I don't know what to do. I feel like I should just kill myself (atempted suicide before), but also can't bring myself to it. I want to move on and become a better person like she wants her and me to do, but I also don't want to just give up on her.
She is the girl of my dreams, the one who I wanted to share my life with. And she too is still in love with me, just very hurt. Do any of you have advice on what is best for me to do? I don't know wheter I should just let her go forever or retry, and if so, at what times.
>>
Dude, you really believe that ? She's miles away and want to enjoy her freedom.
Also, 2,5 years is nothing, she wasn't the love of your life, this relationship meant nothing, man up ffs.
>>
>>18365629
I know her well enough and trust her that she won't lie to me. I've already known her for 5 years, it just took a while for us to get into a realtionship. And it may sound like nothing to you, but to me they were the best 2.5 years of my life. She is the best person I have ever met, and felt with her a connection that I believed would always stay strong.

Hey /adv/, is it really just a easy as inviting a girl to go out somewhere?

No one said it was easy. Just be direct and try to make most of the decisions. Don't "ask" her.
Instead of saying, do you want to get lunch, say Let's get lunch at this specific place at this specific time.
>>
>>18365615
Yep. They've usually already put you in a yes no or maybe zone.
If youre in the yes zone shell likely agree and even cancel plans for it. If youre in the maybe zone shell say yes if shes not doing something else.
Ive got a good one. Do you know what she likes to do? Something shared? A video game? An outdoor or recreational activity?
Get into a conversation about weekend plans. Say "well im going to do _____" wait /hope for the "wow that sounds fun! Im jealous!" and that's when you invite her.
If this works its very smooth and very not awkward.
>>
It really is. And if she's into you she'll be down to go and putting in effort to have a good time.

I want to ask this girl out from work but we only see each other about once a week.
Last week we were lucky and had about an hour to talk.
I was hoping that i got to talk to her again this week (maybe even ask her out) but we could only talk for about a minute.
Should i just say fuck it and ask through the Facebook knockoff the company we work at is using or should i wait another week for a chance to ask her out in person?

I've had my bloods and testosterone levels checked and they came back completely normal. Recently, I've been invited to girls places MANY times, but have not been able to achieve an erection which I can maintain. I've noticed that it's probably due to my very low sex drive. I am stress free, no longer depressed and have a good diet. :| also have a varicocele but idk if that's relevant...

You're right go back to being the fat piece of shit you were before.
If things were the same as before obviously you have to change more than your weight
>>
>now I can't even have the food I like
You really have no idea how a diet actually works, do you
>>
go to fit, also you're starving youself, see a psych and get help. you wont get fat if you gain weight the right way.

Depends. Like, won't have sex EVER, or is normally sexually active but just have a rough time of things at the moment?

Yes, it is.
>>
>>18365464
Depends.
Has she gone to a doctor, attempted life changes to manage, or made any effort to combat at?
Yes. Pretty shitty.
Does she always complain about anxiety, roll in it, use it as an excuse, and make no tangible effort to have it mitigated?
No. Its her problem and all consequences are her responsibility.

Can /adv/ explain what the heck is gonna happen to employee salaries when the government decides to do a minimum wage increase? The govt in my province just """promised""" to increase our minimum wage almost 50% and I'm curious how fucked I'm gonna get as someone who makes only slightly above the current minimum (The proposed increase would be higher than my hourly wage).
Are we going to enter a paradise where everyone gets a raise equivalent to our old wage, or are we just gonna get our hours cut and contracts terminated while the survivors get the mythical raise?

The company you work at will not magically need less people in order to get the work done. Unless the whole company goes down because of the wage increase, you aren't really in danger

Start with the neet part and get a job.
Easy.
>>
>>18365129
Well, to pull yourself out of your situation, you're going to have to WANT it. So you might be fucked.
>The education route:
What you need to do is find a job. Any job. It can be fast food. Just start saving some money and getting experience. Look into getting an education at a local junior college. Chances are, you'll qualify for financial aid. If you do, financial aid will not only cover the total cost of your (already very cheap) education, it'll put a couple thousand dollars in your pocket each semester. Along with a minimum wage job, you should have enough money to live on your own, even, if you handle your money well. Talk to a campus counselor to help you set up your degree path. This shit couldn't be easier, but you have to GO THERE and talk with them. You'll end up getting a free AA degree and save a nice chunk of money in the process.
Protip: Restaurant jobs are very low level and easy to get into, but you make pretty ridiculously good money if you're a waiter making tips. I have a friend who works at a pretty casual (but kinda fancy) place where they sell burgers for $15 and he makes over $45k a year. Working as a server won't get you very far in terms of having an impressive resume, but they're great for making money without requiring education or experience.
>The no education route:
Get at job at a BIG company. My best recommendation would be Amazon. Try your hardest to avoid food jobs -- Some of them can pay well, like in my example above, but they're not practical for the long-term because they don't offer benefits and there isn't any room to move up. Starting pay at Amazon is very competitive for warehouse work. In California, they start you at $14/hr. They offer great benefits with medical coverage and everything. Be prepared to work your ass off. Spend a year working there and you'll almost certainly get promotions/raises as long as you're not a retard.
>>
>>18365187
>cont
The education route is the SAFEST way to go, and will open the most doors for you when you start to look for serious work. But keep in mind, there are no guarantees that you'll be successful with either option. It's easy to sit in your diaper shitting all over yourself and being spoonfed, and it's not fun working. The no education route will probably be the most challenging option for you since it will require some VERY hard work.
Cannot stress enough that you need to WANT it. Employers tend to invest in employees that have obvious interest in learning more and moving up.

Yesterday I had some friends over, we were grilling by the pool of my apartments. I was sitting in the pool with my female friend, and this guy comes over and tries talking to us from the fence around the pool.
I cannot understand a fucking word he is saying, and then he looks over and says "oh shit she's pissed" as his girlfriend comes around the corner carrying their stuff from a day out.
>he's obviously been drinking all day
>he wanders upstairs with her
>she really did look pissed but didn't look at us once
>guy stumbles back out and down to the pool
>probably overheard me telling a story about someone else I knew with a strange southern accept I also couldn't understand, thought it was about him
>another neighbor is watching him, drunk guy makes a game of throwing his shoes at him on the second floor, almost breaks watching neighbor's window, one shoe ends up on the roof
>jumps in pool
>my female friend got out to get me a towel, but he was swimming closer so I got tf out too
>he says "Shake it don't break it."
>go upstairs and change, he yells "You look good" right before I go inside
>go back outside because we're still grilling
>he's out of the pool, tripping over chairs, sits down in a plastic one and just breaks the arm off
>says "Do you want me to stop" to no one in particular
>he eventually goes back inside
>the neighbor who was watching him disposes of the broken chair
>chatting with another nice neighbor outside
>drunk comes back out in his girlfriend's bootie shorts, flashes everyone his dick and ass
>all in shock, some giggling because what the fuck else are we gonna do?
>goes back inside, doesn't come back out
>neighbor said he's on a lot of medication
I'm genuinely scared I'm going to run into this guy when I'm by myself.
How do I avoid that, and how do I get out of that situation if it ever happens? He's been a resident here for a long time apparently, I just moved here. Should I alert management?

Self defense 101:
It takes very little to break someone's nose. Learn some standard moves (open palm etc).
Also if you kick the knee really hard you will break it, that will get him down instantly and have him screaming and crying like a bitch. Use full force to break the knee. You can then run and Escape and he will still be down where he is. Finally if shit like this happens, especially with the knee, get a police report because my bet is he is a bitch and will try to sue you.

I bought a lightbox (bright light therapy device) a few months ago. I used it for a week, and thinking it was odd how it seemed to burn into my retinas for 20 minutes after use, I checked the reviews again and saw that someone said they contacted the company and there were misprints in the instructions, meaning I was using it literally 10x closer than I was meant to. I contacted the company, and they confirmed this.
Since this week of use, whenever I go from daylight to shade, I see waves of colours for a few seconds in my vision where I aimed the device. A few months down the line, I start seeing flashes of light in my peripheral vision when I turn my head at night, becoming aware that I've also had lots of floaters for a while now. Turns out I got vitreous detachment in both eyes. I had them checked and my retinas are ok, but I'm still paranoid and I was absolutely terrified for days of going blind.
My vision was pretty much perfect before I used this piece of shit device. How much can I expect to get if I take this company to court and win the case, and what are my chances of winning?
