I'm straight/bi in college and need more money on the side, I've been thinking about posting ad on Craigslist or something about cleaning houses in the nude for gay men or women (less Likely). No sex, I'm just there to clean your house. $100 an hour.
Does this seem stupid? I saw another anon on a different board mention it and it sounds like easy money

I've never been well versed in math, I want to go to college since I hurt my back and cannot continue my trade apprenticeship anymore. I've been looking into finance or accounting but I'm afraid it'd be out of my reach due to my knowledge of Mathematics. Does anyone have any advice on how to understand it better?

I'll be blunt. My wife is rich. Her family is rich. They have tons of money and they're using some of that money to stall the divorce. The way things are going, it's going to be 3-4 years before anything happens. I don't have the kind of money to keep paying for an attorney for that long. No, they're not stalling because I'm trying to get any sort of money from them. I've signed a prenup, which basically says that I don't touch a single cent of her family's money and I'm completely fine with that. I don't even want anything from her. I'd gladly just take what's mine and mine alone and leave. The problem is she won't let me.

See, she cheated, I caught her cheating, and so naturally I want a divorce. I don't want to spend my life with someone I can't trust and after this, there can be no trust. Except now of course she's sorry and crying and begging for me to come back. The only place where she doesn't pester me is my workplace, but everywhere else I can't get away from her.

So I'm here because I have no fucking clue how to convince this cunt to let me go. I just want to move on with my life. I just want to live again, I just want to be free from this shitpile. I can't even heal properly because there's not a single day that passes where she hasn't contacted me in some way.

I'm trying to cut off contact with two of my former close friends in the nicest way possible and trying to avoid drama but they just don't seem to be getting the message. One of them is manipulative to a dangerous level and has legitimately managed to cuck my other friend who seems to be all too willing to sell his soul for her. I tried to warn him multiple times before everything went to shit but he ignored my advice about her and dove headfirst into the trenches and now i don't know if he will ever get out unless she literally tells him to leave and never talk to her again and maybe not even then. She casts people to the curb after she has leeched money and gifts out of them and i believe she is an actual narcissistic sociopath (no armchair psych meme its the real deal) and if i try another time im sure she will get him to come after me perhaps even posing a danger to my safety. If i thought i could help him i would but that ship has sailed. They only ever spend time with each other unless she is out fooling around with other guys and she tries offers me sexual favors often though i always turn her down because even though he is blind and a terrible friend, i refuse to actively fuck over my "friend" that is "dating" her. I havent seen them in person for months and i try to keep contact to a minimum but they still contact me regularly despite my intentional ignoring of their calls and other messages. I only occasioanlly respond to tell them im busy so they stop callling or texting me. It has gotten to the point that i no longer want to have any contact with them and i had hoped that slowburning the relationship would get them to take the hint but the farther i pull back the harder they push to keep in touch with me. Do i just tell them to fuck off and block them everywhere or is there a nicer yet equally as effective way to cut them out of my life?

TLDR: Toxic friends need to go but slowburning doesnt get them to leave how do i get them to stay out of my life?

GUIDELINES:
Before you post a question, check the FAQ to see if it's already been answered.
Keep questions short for more answers.
If you're not going to like honest answers, don't ask your question.
And please no derailing arguments.

FAQ:
>Do girls/guys like <insert specific look>?
>What do girls/guys think about <an insecurity including, but not limited to: looks, physical traits, personality traits, virginity or otherwise lack of dating experience>
There is no one answer. Preferences differ, but complexes are always a turn-off.

>I'm shy and afraid of people/rejection. What do I do?
Get over it by practicing and exposing yourself to it, little by little, step by step. There is no single magical moment that will instantly change you forever.

>I like someone. What do I do?
>How can I tell if someone likes me?
Ask them out.

>Where do I meet girls/guys?
Anywhere outside. Or online. As for HOW, that requires first hand experience to understand. Just go out and do it. Over and over.

>Someone did something insignificant. What does it mean?
Nothing significant. You're overthinking it.

>XYZ happened. Interpret this for me please
We're not in their head, we don't know.

>This person did something that hurt my feelings. Why do guys/girls do this?
Because shit people are shit people. It's not a gendered thing.

>Someone has made it super clear they're no longer interested in me. Do I still have a chance?
No.

>Should I contact/try one last time/confess how I feel before they move away because I want "closure"?
Let's be real here. You don't want closure. Closure is a lie you're telling yourself. What you actually mean is you want is to magically convince/trick them in to liking you. Move on. This isn't healthy.

>Where do I go on a first (or subsequent) date?
Pick one or more of the following: coffee, lunch, dinner, drinks, ice cream, movies, zoo, aquarium, museum, art gallery, <activity in your city>.

>Brandon, fart guy, platonic cuddling guy
Fuck off

My backstory: I had a relationship that lasted about 7 years from high school to a year after I graduated from a top tier engineering school. She was getting a PhD in psychology, a jew-ridden, meme-tier field, and she changed into a different person. I've never really gotten over losing who she used to be, though the fact that she became an obnoxious, overly serious SJW-type makes me feel much better about it all. Since I dated her, I haven't had a relationship that lasted more than a few months, but god damn have I had a LOT of them. I've never been without a girl for very long, and oftentimes I had at least two concurrently. I've been around the block.

I'm very depressed. All around me I'm seeing friends break up because of cheating. Long term relationships too.

Everywhere you see in this modern world people seem to be cheating. From celebs (see latest blind gossip items) to even married normal people.

The reason I'm so anxious is because I'm terrified GF would cheat. I personally would never in a million years but in todays world can women and other men ever be trusted? The anxiety is destroying me.

Is there anybody here that's had successful relationship without cheating?

I'm not your average lurker here. I'm nearly 50 years old and I have grown up children who are more than likely older than you. That said, I have reached a point in my life where the people around me can't help me any further. So yes, I'm here, where all the shit eventually drains to, because I find myself in a shit situation.

I'm divorced now and have been for the past 4 years. She cheated. Btu that's not why I'm here, I'm not here to talk about forgiving my ex-wife, because there's no forgiving that. I'm talking about my oldest daughter, who is 29 years old, who knew of her mother's affair and kept it secret from me.

When I found out, I was furious. For the first time in my life, I felt like strangling someone to death. Never in a million years would I have imagined I could feel so much hate towards any child of mine. Suffice to say, I have cut off all ties with my daughter. I have not talked with her for the past 4 years, not since the divorce and all the shit surrounding it surfaced. I have legally disowned her and she will get nothing when I die. Her relationship with her brothers and sisters is in tatters, they don't really talk to her all that much anymore, but they do keep in touch.

The problem here is that whenever I've formed new friendship or tried starting new relationships, and this subject matter comes up, people look at me like I'm a monster for disowning my daughter. I have no empathy or sympathy for someone like her and my ex-wife. I can't begin to understand why I should reconcile or forgive my daughter for what she did.

I'm here mainly because I'm tired. I'm tired of explaining myself to people, and then having to defend my actions as if I was the one who did wrong.

I've always believed in being upfront and honest with people. Treat them like how you want to be treated yourself. But I've reached the point where I'm considering just not telling anyone new I meet about my situation, barring the fact that I am divorce.

I started using bing to look for porn because google omits some keywords and websites, and now i think im in trouble. I did a search for 'jailbait webcam' and now all these younow capture websites are showing up. They have disclaimers at the bottom saying its legal in the US but is it really legal? Are those websites all honey pots? Can bing really just have stuff you can get in trouble for as the first results? Or is it legal to download webcam nudity no matter the age?

How hard is it to become a teacher in the US? Not a college professor or even a high school teacher necessarily, but like a straight up K-12. From what I'm reading, even just a degree isn't quite all you have to do.

I think I would LOVE to teach little kids, they're awesome. But I feel like at age 26 with no degree and a bad job history the odds might be stacked against me. Even if it seems like something I'd REALLY love to do, would it be worth it all? I know that most teachers get paid like shit but I'm not even that concerned about money.

Tell me exactly how stupid of an idea this is.
