I am a highschooler and I'm interested in a career in business.
I take physics and mathematics and they are very boring classes, studying politics and economics entrigues me much more.
It's funny how everyone in my class is falling for the engineering meme, they will certainly be working for me eventually whether they like it or not in the near future.
Do careers in finance (banking) require you to have autism?
Or is that autism very miniscule when comparing it to the autism that engineers, mathematicians and scientists poses?
Probably not the best place for these questions m8 this is 4chinz
If you're not good at math and physics, you won't get far in the field of finance or economics. They require lots of math too. Best advice is to be such a conceited high school kid, you have no idea what your future is actually like. For example, one day you will realize you are not as smart as you think you are.
>>18173950
they require up to calculus, not autistic linear algebra and theoretical physics like science and engineering.
p.s. also one day you will be working for me.
American. 30 years old. Had poor, uneducated parents. Never learned any proper savings or investment techniques. Living paycheck to paycheck, $700 in savings, $6k in credit card debt, $20k in vehicle debt. $200 a month for internet/phone service, $500 a month for rent, $300 a month utilities. Only make about $2.5k a month.
How do I dig myself out of this hole?
>>18173881
Simple stuff first
>Check with local credit unions to refinance the vehicle for lower payments. If that doesn't work, try lendingtree
>Switch to a cheaper phone + internet service.
>Talk to your bank about one of those 'automatic savings' plans where when you use a debit card it rounds up and the difference is placed in savings
And the secret
>Make more money
Angle for a raise or promotion, take a second job, whatever. Once you have more money coming in apply it towards the credit card first, then the car, then all in savings until you have about $20k is savings.
>>18173881
Try to find a cheaper place to live, maybe a solution with roommates. Spending $800 on housing seems a lot to me (but I live in a very cheap area, so I don't know).
Same for the internet plan, $200 is a lot.
Where else do you spend money?
Even after spending those $1000 (which probably you can cut by a fair amount), you still have $1500.
Where does it go?
You can save money on food by learning how to meal plan with cheap products - I went from spending €70/week to spending like €45/week just paying attention to that.
Separate out your priority debts - things you cannot ignore otherwise you will lose an important service.
Sit down and make an honest list of your income and your outgoings, starting with important debts and costs, leaving off all your luxuries. I'm taking about your minimum payments to each.
Once you have done this, you will be left with a figure. It might be really low, but you know that at least this is covering your living costs.
Secondly, list out all of your debts. Your credit card is obviously a big one, as is your car. Is there any option to sell the car and purchase a cheaper one? If not, you need to factor this into your monthly spend too because I assume you need it for work.
If you're really struggling to pay your credit card, give the company a call and say you're experiencing temporary financial pressure due to a change in income. Explain that you cannot afford to make the minimum payments and would like then to freeze any interest for a short period to allow you to work with debt advisers. Due to responsible lending rules, they will more than likely to do and it will give you some breathing space.
In the meantime, cut up your credit card and start living within your means. With every extra penny you find you have, put it towards one aspect of your debt in priority order.
There are other ways to save money, such as bulk buying and cooking your food, not getting take out, walking where you can and changing your energy supplier/credit card when you can.
You have to be methodical anon. Don't fall into the habit of paying whoever comes knocking first. Read about priority debts.
Is it possible for a single male to adopt a daughter? I doubt I'll ever find a girl who loves me, nor do I particularly care, but I do want to eventually raise a child.
No. It's already very difficult for a single woman to adopt a child, and single men simply can't.
It's shitty but men are overrepresented in everything pedophile and generally in acts of aggression. So yeah.
>>18173843
pay a surrogate mother in some thirld world country.
>>18173843
As long you can present yourself as a responsible single parent that knows what's he's going for and the likes, it's not a problem.
Now whether you can do it ... based on the image alone it's beyond unlikely. The fact that you couldn't find the answer to your question on google doesn't speak for you either.
Hello /adv/, I'm in a major dilemma. Basically what's happened is everyone is expecting me to join a college course along with my brother and his girlfriend, the problem is I literally can't function around people I don't know; even my brothers girlfriend is a problem at times.
I did do a course back in 2016, basically a training programme and spent all my free time alone and basically never spoke a word. I missed nearly 100 days of it over two years because of this, no joke. It will be a lot worse now that my brother is there because he'll see first hand how bad I am.
What should I do /adv/, am I fucked?
Have you considered professional counselling?
>>18173866
Did it, she wanted me to leave because she didn't think I took it seriously. Also I can't really get into that, it just doesn't look like it would work for me, so I guess she had a point.
>>18174730

How would one use "I wish" sarcastically?
I was arguing with my spouse and he told me he'd only made out with his ex twice and I said wasn't it more and he very sarcastically remarked, "I wish"
He's over her though and has been for two years so it's really confused me what he meant
Help
>>18173798
This is pretty simple; i'm assuming its hard for you to see it due to your overt engagement in the situation.
For example, I like eating burritos and always talk about it to my friend. I tell him I had 1 burrito last week. He says, "Wait, I thought you had 10 burritos last week?" I say wistfully, "Hah, 'I wish'. But I ran out of money on Monday".
Very simply, in your case means he wishes that he had made out with his ex more. It has the exact same meaning as the phrase, "If only".
On the other hand, and this is a lot more complex, if his mannerism was very sarcastic, it could possibly have meant like, "You'd like that, wouldn't you". That is, sort of accusing you of accusing him that he wanted to be sexual with his ex more, because that would give you the moral high-ground in the argument.
>>18173821
But can he say this without still being into her?
That's the bit I'm confused about. I called him out on it and he said he has no desire to make out with her more.
>>18173845
It's too hard to say without context. He could've meant: I wish, I was so into her. Or he could've meant: I wish(ed), she was frigid about it so there was no way that was going to happen. In which case it would reflect badly on her.
please help /adv/ I'm starting to go crazy... I've been talking to this girl in one of my classes at uni for a little while now and every time i see her my heart starts racing and my mind goes wild. i want to tell her this but i don't want to scare her off and make her think I'm a creep, do girls actually like when you tell them how you feel or is that just in movies?? am i going to make an ass of myself and ruin everything if i tell her?
>>18173787
Stay cool, invite her to some social activity like cinema or park, breathe deeply and STAY COOL.
And as a rule of thumb, telling girl you love her first give her ability to mop the floor with you in case she is bad person or scare her off.
Also grow up boy and remember that nothing lasts forever so you dont suicide if she leaves you someday.
Good luck!
>>18173799
thanks for the reassurance m8. i live in a college town though i don't think we have a movie theater. I've asked her a couple times what she's doing over the weekend or that day but she's usually busy, is she just saying that and too nice to tell me to get lost? she plays volleyball so she probably is busy most of the time between that and school
>>18173787
Just ask her out. Either she says yes, and you're good to go, or she says no, and you can face up to fact it's not going to happen and move on.
Don't just confess all these feelings you have, because that WILL scare her off before you get a chance. Fuck, I don't want to here that shit from someone I've been with for less than 3 months, never mind never been out on a date with. Just let her know you like her, and that you'd like to take her out. That's all she needs to hear for now.
Girls like to hear about your feelings at the right time, once a relationship has been established. Before that, it is creepy. Life does not work like the movies.
Hello everybody,
We have a cat-plague in our neighbourhood. None of them are feral but the dirty creatures keep crapping all over my yard. I live in not the best area and it appears everyone on benefits needs to own a minumum of 1 cat, so you can imagine the horrible stench during summer. At one point there were 5 of the fuckers lounging in my yard at once. I've trown water on them but that's pointless, they come back. On top of that I am concerned about the many diseases their poop spreads. I like working in the yard and mine is the only one that looks half decent on our block, but I don't want to grab into catshit and get ill.
I am contemplating getting a cat repellent spray with fox pheromones or maybe cow dung granules. I won't get the high-pitched noice apparature cause it gives me a headache. Sprinklers I find way too exspensive.
Now my question is, have any of those sprays ever worked for you? Other tips that don't mean I have to spend 100+ on keeping freaking other people's misbehaving pets out?
>>18173780
The gel repellents are useful but you can also throw down orange peels in the garden area. Cats hate citrus and onion so maybe planting onions will help too
>>18173780
Those noise things never work. I tried the rat version of them and they still kept coming. It's said they don't like old perculated coffee grounds spread around. This works more for small gardens though. If the cats have a collar they usually have the owner's phone nr on it. Call them up and tell them to take better care of their fucking cat, because they like sitting in your yard more. We had around 5 cats in our garden from the same owner once. Reason being the lady next door was a cat lady and fed them properly. Back at their owners all they got was abuse and hard food. So naturally they went where it's 10x better. It's tough because once the cats are comfortable it's very difficult to get rid of them. You need to constantly remind them not to sit in your yard. And cats rrly don't give a shit about what you have to say.
>>18173782
It's pretty big area, I've tried to put some peels down already but I'd have to start exclusively eat citrus to cover everything. I'll plant some onion around their 'routes' Thanks for the tip, I'll also see if I can get some of the gel repellent. Summer is nearing and serious measures have to be taken(well, without physically harming the cats) before the smell gets unbearable.
I'm gonna be sent to a psych ward known for abusing its patients and making them do jobs. I'm from a third world shithole [spoiler]Armenia[/spoiler]. So, if anything happens, what can I possibly do?
>>18173752
Nothing, bruv/sis. As psychward patient you basically have the credibility and rights of a dog even in first world countries.
All you can do is hope that you won't be around the shitty people or can befriend them or at least make them see you as human enough not to get abused. And keeping in mind that it's not an infinite stay to keep the spirits up.
What the fuck have you done to get sent in and why are there no alternatives to that?
>>18173760
There's a mandatory army draft in my country and today at the check they decided to send me there. I'm diagnosed with f92.8, so yeah, but actually have schizophrenia syndromes. Gonna keep quite about that stuff, because fuck that place. I feel like it gonna make me even crazier.

Get a hobby
Get a gf, get her to get you off
So I have a fairly new girlfriend but we have been friends for years. Sex is great. But she kinda wears me out like, I am tired and that is not important but if she is tired it is. We made a bet over march madness were if I won I would get to play with her anally. (This of course was not a real bet on my side tho if she said yes I would have taken it, it was more to see how she would respond. Keep her word? Be open to new things? When she saw she was going to loose she flipped shit and said how gross I was for even making the bet, even tho her bet was like a high priced dinner and a trip somewhere. Mine was mild. But like I said a test. I even wrote up a piece of paper right after the bet saying it was null and void should she want it. But how disgusted she was with the bet when she lost, how demanding she is of my time, and how unapproachable she is with new ideas really got me thinking. I mean what do I do with this? I do love the girl I have chased for years. But the other day we were watching the show "The Voice" and there was a lesbian singer on there. Me: I dont give a fuckkkkk. Her: Ew that is so gross(She has a gay, lesbian, and trans-gendered cousins and she said that) it totally turned me off. I love her I really do. But is there a way to change that? Because I will not tolerate that kinda hateful shit. I go to pride parade each year for fuck sakes and not because I am in any way gay. Its a huge party. I have lots of gay friends and she doesnt and its looking less and less like its ok.
Seems like you didn't know her that well during your ''chase for years''.
>>18173705
>i want her to change because i don't like the way she is
>I also somehow love her
she sounds like a dumb lifeleech who doesn't really give a shit about you other than your ability to buy her things and feed her attention, and you obviously don't give a shit about her other than her ability to give you ass in return for money and attention and change her personality or behavior according to what you find ideal.
It isn't going to work because she might be mentally challenged and you are just in love with her puss.
>>18173705
Maybe you should man up and stop being such a libshit fag. She's 100% correct on both as well
I've been getting told this picture of me is horrible
but i cant really understand why, can you guys give me some feedback on it?
Is it really that bad?
>>18173704
It doesn't look bad to me but I have no idea how you look like irl.
>>18173704
I don't see why people say it looks bad? You look like a supreme gentleman in it.
>>18173704
It looks really artificial, dramatic even.
The pose is like the posterchild of a cheesy 90s romantic comedy.
All that's missing is drew barrymore and wtf are you wearing?
Your hair could use a little work, obviously you're attractive but that outfit and this photo makes you look a little more beta than you should.
Maybe >>/fa/ can tell u more
Got a new job to be in a more social environment to hopefully meet girls
Too bad I'm 19 and legitimately can't tell if jailbait or not with every girl that comes in. I'm fucking serious guys, like any girl that comes in is either with her boyfriend or with a parent, and I can't fucking gauge their age what so ever. Girls are hitting puberty way too fucking earlier, 14 year olds look like they're in their 20s. Don't give me that hobby shit, either, I've got hobbies.
Should I just try online dating again? My looks have changed quite drastically, lost about 55 lbs, so maybe I could have some luck this time? I'm not an anti social retard, nor a pussy, I just don't want to go to jail of get yelled at by a manager if she's jailbait and someone says something.
Thanks friends.
>>18173687
1. Try maybe casually asking a girl how old she is in the course of interacting with her if you're unsure.
2. Don't try to fuck girls at work and you won't get in trouble you idiot.
>>18173690
>casually asking how old she is
I work at a restaurant, and although I can be smooth, thats just not possible. Again, if she's with her parents or some shit I can hit on their jailbait daughter.
>Don't try to fuck girls at work
You know what doesn't make sense to me? Like honestly, I just don't understand.
Every time I talk to people either on here, irl, doesn't matter, I am never given an answer on where youre supposed to meet girls. "get a social job", I did, no dice. "get a hobby", I also did, no cigar. "school", not an option right now. "online dating", tried and didn't work. "hit on random girls", didn't work, I've tried many times. I'm not just trying to "fuck" girls, that's what's so lame about this shit, I actually want a relationship but even making an effort is now instantly associated with "this guy just wants to rail me!" which is true, but it's more than just that. I'm fucking annoyed dude. I've lost weight, my acne is pretty much gone, I've put myself out there, I'm fucking trying to increase my chances but this shit isn't working! Also don't say "hur u can't try bro then it will come" because we both know that's bullshit.
>>18173709
probably because you are fat ugly have autism and didn't go to college
So I just found this girl off of a dating site and wants to arrange something with me only if I can comment on her cam show. I'm kinda suspicious about this, is this a scam? I have a credit card, and it's apparently $0 but I'm worried about what embarrasing information might link to the bank since other people can see that.
http://cam-pals.com/u2hgz5 This is the site she linked me btw
>>18173680
>Am I being scammed?
The fact that you seriously have to ask this questions makes me genuinely concerned for your safety in the future. I highly encourage you not to eat berries you find on bushes or stare at the sun for prolonged periods of time.
>>18173680
Now think r-e-a-l hard.
You are giving your credit card information to an unknown party online, who is most likely some 50 year old guy who will charge out your card to the limit and then disappear.
>>18173680
Are you seriously giving your credit card information to a dubious website you just discovered, because a pretty girl you just "met" told you so? yeah, why not? type it all in, wat a couple days and learn the hard way what happened to your credit card
My girlfriend likes to drink a lot sometimes. Yet she is never down to fuck when she is drunk. She said she used to do it in the past but since she started working full time she doesn't want to. What am i supposed to think or do.
Here's an idea, have you considered trying to not be a horny child and just respect her wishes?
you are supposed to turn her on then when she cant stop herself have sex with her
the difficulty is to get horny without her noticing you wanting sexytime
>>18173665
Gotta set the mood OP otherwise she won't be putting out
then it turns into "you only use me for sex" and snowballs
My boyfriend has this friend that I'm insanely jealous of and I don't know how to get over it. She isn't as attractive as I am, but she shares all his interests and he really likes hanging out with her. I sometimes feel in my heart hes sleeping with her but I can't prove it... what do I do?
>bf has a female """friend"""
I have some bad news for you...
>>18173626
>She isn't as attractive as I am
Good start.
"You feel in your heart" that he's sleeping with her. Do you have any actual ... evidence? Instances of suspicious behavior? I'm not telling you that you're wrong, gut feelings count for something, but they can also be way wrong.
Only 2 types of women guys hang out with. Women they're fucking and women they want to fuck. Period. End of story.
