Hey /adv/, retard here.
Just did my first breakjob today, with help. We replaced both front rotors and breaks. Other guy helping me has only done one other break job before. There were a few things that we did and did not do that have me kind of paranoid.
I bought brake grease and tried to use it on one of the caliper pins but it made it harder to move. Didn't bother trying to do it for the other 3 pins.
My torque wrench was MIA so my helper said fuck it and just tightened the caliper bolts and bracket bolts as hard as he could, now they are spinning.
We didn't grease the ends or the back of the brake pads, so no grease on the sliders or between caliper and brake pads.
When we were putting the wheels back on, helper tightened one wheel on the ground while the other one was still in the air, also not torqued.
So, am I going to die? Will I be okay or should I just bring my car to a pro?
tl;dr babbies first brake job, no lube on anything, stripped bolts possibly, am I going to die?

All things considered, I'd be more confident having my brakes fixed by someone who could spell brakes.

How do I make up for being a brainlet?
I'm clear minded and pretty emotionally stable, but I don't have a ton of sheer brain power or problem solving abilities.

I can relate, OP. I'm also extremely stupid (that would be putting it lightly)
I recommend reading alot of books and increasing your vocabulary as it makes you sound smart, and that's all that actually matter.

Too many people in your situation. There needs to be a foundation. I'd recommend moving at out at 18. Find room mates no matter what. Going homeless is a tough cycle to get out of. Save your money for a year if you're going to college. Moving out, and paying bills, and starting college all at once is too much with no support. Good paying jobs for people with no skills are waiting tables, construction, pest control technician, and lawn care all pay pretty well above minimum wage. As well as sales, but that's not guaranteed money, and a lot of companies try to fuck their salesmen over because they expect high turnover. Just don't live on the streets man, you could easily get stuck.

I want cancer so I can die soon or at least have an excuse to die soon. I really can't cope with my life to be honest. It's too hard or I'm weak. Lmao, I already know how beautiful life and the world is now so I'm pretty content. Why do I have to keep slaving away to meet societal norms of beauty, finance, and everything in between for the next few decades... and how does one actually focus on one 'passion' or career to make for an entire lifetime? It's all pointless, and the pains aren't even worth it- proportionately speaking in terms of happiness. Happiness (generalized, normal, non-drug induced) isn't even that great of a feeling (examining it from a detached perspective and all that inspiration is starting to dull me because 'being better + stronger' seems like a linear goal to nowhere.
We have to inevitably live to see our loved ones pass away and see this world filled with so much bitterness, pointless bickering, drama, ego, hypersexuality, and worship of materialism. It's frustrating as fuck...and even if people are satisfied with achieving a 'family life' (generalized human goal) that is such a selfish and simplified thing to say...you'd think that with all of this materialism, evolution, interconnectivity via internet, and whatnot people would focus on less breeding and just adopting and taking care of unwanted kids, improving human health, and advancement in quality and methods of education in the world. We live in the OPPOSITE of the Renaissance or Enlightenment era. I really hate everything in our generation/society because it doesn't seem to be IMPROVING and hate that I am a helpless, bitter human being.... I've always felt (since I was around 5 or so) that I just wasn't meant to be here...

Of course this is not normal, unless you live in some third world hell hole or something. Instead of blaming your helplessness and negative feelings on society, you should try to improve your situation.

Boyfriend sleeping with a prostitute

Having been with my boyfriend for 3 years, he started hinting about kinda wanting to sleep with someone else.
I get this, because before we dated I'd had casual sex a couple times, but I was his first and only. He told me he wants to "do something new".
I tackled this head on, and basically told him I really hate the thought of him pursuing someone, but if he wants to go to an "establishment" or whatever, to have sex with a prostitute I don't really have a problem with it.
I have several concerns and I've voiced these but mostly I'm worried this will turn into him wanting an open relationship or threesomes and I really really don't want that. I also don't know what specific guidelines to set and if I'm making a big mistake hahah
Does anyone have any experience or advice to give relating to this situation at all?

I think you just about answered your own question there.
>>
You gave him a green light to go sleep with another woman, because you had sex PRIOR to your rship with him, which started 3 years ago. Great logic, OP. At any rate, if the guy told you that he wanted to have sex with another person its pretty much over anyways. If you have been denying him sex, then the fault is all on you. If you have been a loving gf, then the spark just died. In either case- move on, its done.

Don't be this fucking pathetic and stupid. Seriously.

How do you come to terms with being a shit person?
I'm starting to realize that I am a bad person. I only pursue women with goal of a physical relationship, and when they don't show interest or become too attached, I back off. I am currently in the situation where a girl is very into me and puts out, but she's too clingy and not up to my standards. I was only using her for cuddling and sex.
I didn't go into with that in mind. I just had the revelation that that is why I did it though, as well as other women in the past. I feel horrible, almost sick to my stomach over it.
I always thought I was one of the good guys. I'm not rude or mean to people. I never push sex on anyone and I treat everyone with respect, at least in person.
How do you live with yourself after realizing your own selfish intentions that rule your life?

When you're 18, when you're 20, when you're 22 etc. you just fuck around alot. You are only interested in fulfilling your base desires. But then you hit 30, you hit 32. You realize that fulfilling your base desires got you nowhere, you have nothing. As a man you are supposed to get more valuable as you get older but you disregarded bettering yourself as a human being. You wanted to fuck around instead. Maybe i'm projecting but you really have to think about your future. If you don't, life just turns you into a fuckhole who has nothing.

>How do you live with yourself after realizing your own selfish intentions that rule your life?
You've come to terms with your own mortality. You haven't come to terms with everyone else's yet. Your next goal is making peace with the idea of other people having impulses too, and going all kinds of places with them. Eventually you'll realize some people wind up as junkies while others wind up as bosses, and then you'll hopefully start steering yourself in the right path without constant need for guidance.

Let's say 95% of both genders are undateable because they don't meet your criteria, or you don't find them attractive, or you're incompatible for some reason.
Is it more realistic to focus on your career and living a happy life alone and hoping that you meet someone special along the way (since your life will be focused around things you enjoy, and therefore if you meet someone they will probably be similar to you), or do you have to *actively* look for someone if you want to be married and have a family one day?
I'm asking because I'm wondering if I should just assume I'll be single and go full tunnel vision in regards to my career and other interests in life, and if something great happens along the way then that's a bonus.

You need to be actively looking for that, there are exceptions but you really can't assume you'll find life-partner material randomly one day.
Take it from me, I work in geriatric health care and have really gotten to known hundreds of people who have lived their life, and learned a lot from their mistakes. The ones that were never married and had kids always did the same thing you're thinking, they just focused on work. Some of them definitely lived happy lives but I think most ended up regretting being so lonely.

always keep the feelers out. scope out mutual friends, this is most likely how you will find people that you are interested in and get introduced. avoid dating sites, avoid bars. use social media to your advantage when checking people out.

All I've ever wanted to do is be an animator.
Since I graduated from animation college 4 years ago I've become increasingly depressed and isolated.
I stopped drawing and began to hate my old work because all I could see is the mistakes.
I still want to work as an animator/cartoonist but I'm not practicing or applying for jobs. No mystery as to why I'm not working.
My family is encouraging me to explore other areas but I still want to work in my field thought I'm not really trying. I can't even commit to giving up.
Has anyone ever dealt with an executive dysfunction? An inability to act or make decisions? There are many options open to me but I'm not pursuing any of them.
I could be practicing and working on my own projects for fun, I could nut up and apply for animation jobs, I could go back and study some more, I could try and find a new career. Instead I've spent the last four years doing nothing. It's May already and I'm heading toward a fifth year of doing absolutely nothing with my life.
What do I do /adv/?

You might be depressed.
Seeing mistakes in your old work means you have improved enough to notice them. Thats a good thing senpai
>>
>>18100869
I m drawing myself, i can understand what you're going through.
Try to enroll yourself in some classes of some sort or in a serious project where you'll have to work everyday. If you don't have the discipline to do it on your own, try to "trap" yourself in an environment where you'll be able to work. So find a job in a field or go to classes or something.
Also you could stop obsessing over it and relaxing a bit, try living more in the present, being monomaniac can be detrimental to yourself and to your art. Live in the present and try new stuff. Don't be afraid to fail, nothing matters. Try guitar, try music, try piano, try learning a new language, try meditation, try a sport, something that will make you experience new stuff. It could give you some new motivation and serve your art as well.

Is there any worth in pain?
Does disappointment, failure, and loneliness make us human beings?
I need to know. It's the only way I can justify having children. This world is full of pain, but I don't know if that's inherently a bad thing. You only feel happy when you know what is to hurt.
There's so much worth perceiving and observing.
Does anyone have a good answer to this?

Consider your own situation and wether the pleasure has been worth the pain. I know I think so, but no two lives are alike in that regard.
>>
>>18100881
That was my first thought that it's total subjectivity, but I feel that it's not good enough.
There's a certain depth I hope to hit via discussion.
>>
A man without experience is weak. Pain forges us into adaptable human beings, it keeps us from making the same mistakes. Evolution wouldn't allow us to feel pain if it didn't help us to survive.

I bought and opened some on the 19th of February and it says it expires on the 18th of March. I figure it is still good but my roommate threw it out saying "it was bad" even after I explained the expiry date.
Was it bad or good? Does cottage cheese last?

Good sorta in the sense you could have eaten it and been fine, but fresh no. If it were mine I'd have thrown it out considering it's 2 weeks old.
Most things start to go bad once you open them.
>>
>>18100847
The expiration date is for the 18th of March, but generally refrigerated products also have a warning to use them within so many days of opening - the longer it's open, the more it's exposed to other microbes for mold and junk. It's been open for at least two weeks if not longer, so it's getting to the 'ehhhh' stage.

Haven't been here for a while, but i would like a simple explanation by third side to what is happening in my life and if I am right to think like this.
BAsically
>had a beautiful family for 6 years
>mom divorces with dad when i was 6(brother was 2 at the time)
>mom has not been in my life for 15 years
A quick rewind to 1st grade, I didn't even recognise her when she came to school.
>never sent money, nor was interested in my life
>always asked only how are the grades in school and thats is
>kept basic contact by calling twice a year for 15 mins
>after that came facebook and she stalked us
>kept being obssesive (still is)
>never was there when needed (cuz of work/boyfriend etc.)
Back to present
>came on a holiday to her place (another country)
>ended up staying with her
>for almost a year i have been abused mentally
Just to mention that I live better than before besides this, I am independent finally, and I did it on my own.
>always blames me for everything
>never showed mother-daughter-love
Cherry on top
>had a bf for two months(me)
>ended up breaking up
>she talked bad of him
>still they talked a lot at work
>today she told me that he told her he wants to fuck her
>suppose she didn't tell me cuz i was going to be hurt
>she is basic liar for everything
>+whore (desu i feel bad for my dad tho)
Questions: How do I treat her? What do I do at all with her? I don't feel her as mom, nor as a friend. I want to go away quickly and as far as possible. Is it okay? Am I right to feel this way.
I tried to be the good daughter even though she abandoned me an my bro at a young age. I believe she doesn't want to be a mom to me or him.

It sounds as though your mom is only interested in you as long as it reflects good on her.
Does your mother have some-or-all of these traits:
• Grandiosity with expectations of superior treatment from others
•Fixated on fantasies of power, success, intelligence, attractiveness, etc.
• Self-perception of being unique, superior and associated with high-status people and institutions
• Needing constant admiration from others
• Sense of entitlement to special treatment and to obedience from others
• Exploitative of others to achieve personal gain
• Unwilling to empathize with others' feelings, wishes, or needs
• Intensely envious of others and the belief that others are equally envious of them
• Pompous and arrogant demeanour
If yes then look up this page:

>>18100858
OP here.
She has 5/9. But I think everybody has these at some point of their life. She is all grown up woman, (41 at age) behaving like a small child. Not willing to take responsibilities to anything almost. Very greedy of money. She asked me to give her back 6 euros for a packet of cigarettes. Wtf, rly. I spent 3000 euro for a small amount of time when I was at college(it was short and it was bills mostly) and my dad didn't ask for a cent. Am I crazy or this is not normal.

Recently whenever I am alone or anywhere else now I feel like I don't belong. I feel like everyone hates me or doesn't like me and that I'm overbearing. I feel like I was meant to be born in another time, I feel just like that I'm not good enough for anything or anyone... I just feel like death would be so much better. All I want to do is cry and just disappear everyday.... is there any advice for me? or something to help me?

Then i know which peice of advice to give. If you're a man, start lifting and going outside and take supplements because your testosterone is obviously too low. If you're a woman learn how to be quite and not bitchy, learn to use your natural faculties and find yourself a guy who will take care of you while you take care of his house and children.
