do you have any world of warcraft tokens or a few hundred thousand gold? you can exchange your tokens for $15 in battle.net balance.

Oh. I don't play wow. I may be nerdy, but I'm not that nerdy

It's a pretty boring game man.

The skill cieling is too low, there's nothing to master and the competitive mode is a joke.
Once you've tried all the characters for a few hours each it gets old really fast, and this is coming from someone who was super hyped about the game and pre-ordered it months before release.

Unless you have a bunch of friends who play it, it's not worth it in my opinion. Get something that's free to play instead like Team Fortress 2.

>I want to stand around for a couple hours until the police give me a ticket
Cool.
You could also get a car and just drive to the places you want to go. Or even take a bus.

its illegal in most states fyi

Hitch hiking is our with the times, gone with the wind.

Try hopping some trains. It'll take a little more planning and effort, but the adventure may be worth it

>>18224130
2000 geo metro or a 2014+ smart car, those things are radical.

>>18224144
Both of those cars also drive like trucks. You feel every single bump in the road and can't accelerate worth a shit. They're downright dangerous to drive.

Keep working at it

I was always very defeatist and lose motivation to do things when they get hard. You will get there, just like you got through web development and other hardships in life. Give yourself at least 30 days of hard trying work and then reflect to see if it's still something you want to do.
If you give up now then that will carry on into other aspects of your life

Maybe stop getting spoonfed by tutors and learn to have your brain problem solve on its own

>>18224048
It's just difficult to solve problems you're not even sure how to solve, you know? My instructor explains the concepts well; but implementing them not so much..which I guess is on us? Not sure

He's been really chill about assignments and other things so i know im not the only one struggling

>>18224038
Thanks man, it's pretty much the last month for the semester; finals are in may; but you're right. I shouldn't give up, and won't. Just wanted some advice more than anything. Thank you.

>>18223953
Don't meet up, you'll get up false hopes automatically

Be your own anchor and move on, just keep in mind that this will probably happen several times until you find the jackpot

Good hunting

>How do i move on and do you think i should still meet up with him and keep in touch?
Honestly I'd probably suggest you keep some distance for a while. Once you're over it and if you feel like you can be friends again is when I'd suggest you hang out with him.

>>18223953

First of all, if you can't separate your feelings of friendship from your feelings of adoration for him, then it's probably for the best you take a break until you can, because otherwise this will just be unfair to you to both.

Second, assuming you're a gay guy and he's straight, sorry man, that's just how things are. It's just not meant to be.

I'm in the weird position where, as a straight guy, I've had a lot of gay friends (including my best friend, who is female) and been in some pretty odd situations, and always kept an open mind about it all.

I've had one of my childhood friends come on to me one night (We were friends since long before he came out).

I've had my best friend (female and gay) go through an identity crisis where she decided she wanted to try being straight and try it with me, because she was just so tired of being the odd one out, and of never having her mom fully accept her (She was still loved, but her mom was obviously always squeamish about her being gay and always pretended to ignore it like it wasn't real).

I've had OTHER gay girls do similar (I'm like a gay girl identity crisis magnet or something)

I've semi-experimented and made out with other guys before (mostly because I'd be hanging out at a gay bar with my best friend, would get drunk, get hit on, and just said eh, why not)

I've talked to tons of people about that moment when they figured out they were different and that it wasn't people of opposite gender that they felt romantic connections with, how everything they did with them just felt off, and how when they finally tried it with someone of the same, they just felt like the world just made so much more sense.

So I can say that as a straight guy, the inverse has been true for me.

Your nature is your nature. Unfortunately, the same thing that makes you gay, is probably what makes him straight.

Don't feel bad about that. It is what it is. Not everyone is meant to be. Realize that and try to move forward.

I'm sorry, but what the fuck did you think a warehouse job would involve?

>>18223948

Your body will adjust to it in a few weeks and the discomfort will pass. Consider investing in good insoles, gel or memory foam or such. It helps loads and they're reasonably priced usually.

>>18223952
Well I thought we would at lest get more than a 15 minute break in between lifting 10-40 pound boxes for hours on end with only a 30 minute lunch break

Think about all of the bad and embarrassing shit that you did when drunk that you're now ashamed of

>>18223939

I don't really have much. I was always a well behaved drunk. Anything I did that could be considered "bad and embarrassing" would be like looking back at something cringeworthy I did in 7th grade - not all that bad in the scheme of things.

>>18223931
You're on 4chan. What do you want us to say?
Nothing will trigger that "aha" moment more than you going out, getting so trashed you almost die, have a real fucking moment of realization, and cut that shit out of your life.

My bf sleeps face up. He was so drunk one night he almost choked on his own vomit. I heard him choking and woke up in time to roll him off bed, watch him fall onto his side, not move for a sec, and finally clear his airway. He was pale and cyanotic in some parts. It was pretty creepy desu, pretty sure he stopped breathing for a little. He hasn't gotten drunk since. That vomit was foul. It literally smelled like death for over a week in our room.

To what kind of professional should I ask for this? Maybe an electrician?

Sounds like a fuckton of work. Just run that shit through the hallways on the floor to where you want it. Its what I did.

>>18223928
It's possible, just unlikely. Often times the holes drilled for existing wiring or conduit for existing wiring is just large enough for that wiring alone and you won't have space for cat cable.

go all in brah, ask her out on a date

life is a one two punch

Jesus Christ - just message her you little beta pansy.

>>18223982

I can't message on the app, it works that women message first. She has 24 hours.

I'm just saying, if she DOESN'T message, should I follow up elsewhere, or take it as a sign she's not actually interested?

revenge is pointless and validates their behavior. just cut em outta your life and be done with it. you do not have to forgive them, but you should forgive yourself for trusting them and move on

>>18223848
What if I told you that getting payback wouldn't help the pain you feel?

I did cut him out of my life. I guess I'm just angry I wasted 2 years of my life and he decided to go pay more attention to what his family would think

Go to the Gym!!

>>18223829
Same except im probably not going to prepare at all and roll with it as usual, becoming a larger burden on those around me.

>>18223829
Same here

>>18223821
You can't move your gf up with you?

>>18223821
Fear of the unknown, mate. What you should do is put in some proper research into jobs where your family and girlfriend are at, send out your resumes, etc. etc. I'd say you should have done this before handing in your notice, as it's risky otherwise...but to each their own.

Ultimately, though, you can't go running up the expectations of your family and girlfriend only to disappoint them if you've been running with that idea for months. You do want a change, apparently; just be willing to take that step.

>>18223854

She's in grad school back home.

>>18223868

Yeah, ideally I'd leave with a job but I think my chances of getting one are higher when I can focus completely on the job search.

Have you ever held a job or otherwise received income others will have reported on?
Expect the IRS to be mad at you and slap a huge fine on your dick.

If not:
Literally couldn't matter less.

>>18223826
Ive worked, yes, but only part time. Id say over the past two years Ive made less than 10k

Should I just get H&R block to do it for me or something? Im pretty clueless with taxes

>>18223957

no. you are only required to pay taxes if you make 9000 a year or more, and you are only required to FILE afterwards if you make something like 16k or more.

>>18223788
Why refrain from bathing

Don't worry, as long as you're not going to prison, you'll be fine.

Mind your own fucking business. Either make eye contact with everyone, or avoid eye contact altogether.

Don't be timid around other inmates.
Do not lie.

>>18223795
I want to know this

I hate being here. I want to travel the world.

I killed a bully with ricin when I was 12

I don't think I'm going to do well in my career after graduation.
University has sucked the fun out of it.
