Nothing, you'll always have dreams of the past over the present.
>>
>>18077586
Dreams are your subconscious dumping the day's leftover emotions, using whatever symbolism it finds lying around. So a sex dream about your ex is about sex, not the ex. You're feeling horny, and your brain reaches into its "things associated with sex" file and comes up with your ex to help you dream away your horniness.
Just be thankful it didn't dip into the "Mom" file.

Does anyone here know much about tie-dying? Got an idea after buying a tie-dye set.
I'm trying to make some shirts but I'm not having much luck, I've tried Rit dye, and now I'm trying dylon, but the shirts keep ending up faded as fuck
My method:
1. Soak plain white cotton shirt in water/sodium carbonate (soda ash) solution for 20 minutes
2. Bind shirts according to pattern with rubber bands
3. Apply dye to wet shirt (dyes are in 118ml bottles, 8mg powdered dye dissolved)
4. Leave for ~24 hours in plastic wrapping = moist
5. Cut binds (at this point the shirt looks good, colour is okay), wash shirt in water (i've also tried a salt solution) to remove excess dye
6. Put shirt(s) in washing machine with small amount of washing powder (i've tried low and high temps)
7. An hero when shirt turns out faded as fuck
Help a bro out /adv/, can anyone give me some tips? another method? a better dye brand? Call me a faggot and tell me what I'm doing wrong?
Btw the shirts I made with the original tie-dye set turned out great, it's just the shirts i've been trying to make with new dyes
Pic related, not one of mine

Read the instructions on the bottle/box? Not all dyes are the same.

Get your life in a routine. Go to every class, wake up early. Don't lie in bed all the time.
Facially attractive won't cut it if you don't have the self-confidence. Best way to improve on that is the gym and university clubs.
Do not stress out that much dude, just strike up a conversation during breaks in class. Join the clubs and make pals there. If there is an event going on, go to it.
>>
>>18077468
I've got this pattern where I manage to stick to a study/hygiene/etc routine for 2-3 weeks, then I slip up once and it all goes downhill. I've got a feeling that this is behind a lot of the self-confidence stuff.
Is there anything I can do to help finally sort this shit out? It's always like "this is the time I get my shit together" and then I'm back to being a degenerate which really fucks up my self esteem.
Over and over and over and over.
Would it be easy to move to LA and make money? Any kind of money easy like painting houses or lawn work and just live out of a car? Would love to just toke up daily and seems cool out there.

What you've just described is by definition is a bum, or if you prefer hobo, transient, homeless person, or home impaired.
We have a ton of those folks here most of who do exactly what you want. Some dont even work. They just ask for money and people give it to them. Can you believe that?!

>>18077432
No the property taxes are high and the area is shit. Move someone were were you won't pay out the ass since it sounds like you only work with your hands. Besides also this living out of a car is a stupid decision no one is gonna hire someone to work on there house that lives out of a car. Since they will judge you for being poor and think you will comeback and steal somthing.

How do I get my mom to stop giving my dog raw bones. I asked to stop but her only response is "but he likes it"
He buries the bones and digs them up days later. It always makes him smell like rotting meat and the smell doesn't go away for weeks
What do?

Difficult situation. Are you the one who bathes the dog? Talk to her about it. Get mad at her. Beg her and then id nothing works
Kill your dog

Ask her to give him treats or the chewy bones instead?
I hope they're bigger bones, like pork bones. Chicken bones can splinter and could get lodged in his throat or block his intenstines.

My boyfriend is very scared of bugs, to the point that even if a bug is dead, he expects me to throw it away, even when he could do it himself. He also told me that when he used to stay at his parents house, he always made his parents kill any bugs for him, even his mum! Is he a pussy? Should I dump him for this?

Is it weird to read a book in a bar?
I have a routine where every Friday I eat a late lunch with friends, go to the library from 3:30 to 6, and then go home. But I was thinking that I might try going to a nearby bar instead of just going home, to drink and read a little more. And who knows, maybe even talk to someone.
Would people think I was strange to do that?
ps: im gay so it would be a gay bar, but i dont think that really matters

I don't see anything wrong with it, OP.
Yet again I'm not the kind to go to bars, so I'm still unfamiliar with social measures there. Otherwise, I think it's fine.
>>
>>18077215
just depends on the bar. in a dive bar this would be odd, but still acceptable(especially considering the other shit that happens at a dive bar). aim for something sit down and casual and you would be fine. I would suggest not reading at the bar itself. you'll just look like an intellectual tryhard.

How do I stop doing cocaine?
It's a shitty high that doesn't even make me feel great.
I buy it, use some, feel shit, throw it away, go rooting in the trash to find it, do it again, feel shitty, flush the coke down the pan, take Xanax to ease the comedown, start over again.
I know if makes me feel shit. I know the high is awful. Yet I can't stop.
Halp me! Please.

Just smoke weed or do small amounts
>>
Plan it out in the middle of the comedown. Gradually reduce dose to zero after 2 weeks. Write the calendar/plan in the full agony of a comedown say 'I am going to stick to this plan' literally out loud. 'I am making myself stick to this and am not going to mae a single exception no matter how I feel. My body is a machine and i am going to do some maintenance even if the body is in pain.'
Smoke weed as much as you like and just literally decide not to do any more coke for the rest of your life after you wean yourself off. If I can do it with a morphine high I still love then you can do it with a shitty coke high that you're not even that into.
>>
>>18077146
I started microdosing shrooms, then reduced the dose until I was off completely. Lasted 3 weeks with no huge problems aside from some initial shakes, sweats and mood fluctuations.

>be forced to sit in jury duty for 2 weeks

>feel sharp pain when sitting with left foot on my right knee
>immediately stop and never sit cross legged again
>pain fades to a dull ache and itchy feeling on the left side of my sacrum
>no dysfunction in movement and pain is very low, but chronically itchy feeling remains
>been 4 months
Any idea what went wrong and how to diagnose/fix it? I'm going to see a doctor as soon as I'm enrolled in medicaid, but right now I'm going to a chiropractor who fixed everything except this, re-aligned my lumber and sacrum yet the feeling is still there.

>Chiropractor
No jesus god no. Fucking no. No. No. No. Do not ever go to a chiro. Go to a physio. I work in the health industry and the amount of back injuries I've seen exacerbated by chiro's is off the chain. Faulty science with very little certification to back them up.
I would suggest taking on a very gentle stretching routine for the lower back, you can find plenty online, and waiting until you can see a real medical professional.
>>
>>18077045
Chiro actually helped with just about everything else in correcting alignment and improving flexibility, but this unknown issue wasn't helped. Stretching doesn't do much either.
I plan to request an osteopath, assuming they will do physical tests and order MRI or something. My concern is being able to get the referral, since my complaint is "chronic itching on the side of my sacrum" not impaired movement or severe pain.

Raised scars are called hypertrophic scars. Unfortunately laser treatment is only effective/proven way to get rid of them.

I'm not really looking for advice. I don't even want someone to tell me I'm going to be okay, because that's selfish. But I have to write out something in my drunk state. My childhood neighbor recently committed suicide. I moved out when I was 18, he when he was 19. I'm now 25, and he was 31. But our parents still live next to each other. I knew their daughter lost her home in a recent flood and moved back in temporarily, had no idea he had lost his and moved back in too. Divorced earlier this year, lost two family members in the past two months, was suffering from some painful disease to the point he couldn't sleep, and lost his home. He waited til no one was home, and put a gun to his head in his parents' driveway. I wish we had known each other better, but the age gap was a little high growing up. Not to say we didn't hang out, because the street was filled with kids of different ages. But it was more like a relationship of an older cousin entertaining you. I wish I had gotten to know him as adults, because we shared similar interests. I don't know what I'm getting at. I've dealt with losses of young friends before. But a suicide of someone I truly knew less is hitting me harder. I don't even know what to say to your parents at your funeral tomorrow. Just you were always a kind soul in my memories, and I wish I had gotten to know you better. RIP Cory.

he represented a fundamental link to your past self and your sense of nostalgia around your family connections.
and the end was a terrible and violent one. it would unsettle me greatly, too. and i wouldn't even need to feel the altruism towards knowing my childhood friend as an adult, like you're saying.
either way, if writing about him helps you not do something stupid, then post away.

I'm a college student. I consider myself to be Bi (still in the closet) but I guess it's obvious due to how I dress and talk. So there's this guy on my floor, tall, muscular guy. I'm like an average, 6'2 kind of cute nerd I guess. So he started talking to me one day all of the sudden. One day I was heading to breakfast and he walked with me...and suddenly he told me that I was attractive. I didn't think too much of it since I'm pretty sure he's straight. So that same day, he invited me to have breakfast the next day, and he was like "it can be a date, our first date". Again I didn't think too much of it. However, recently he started hugging me every time he'll pass by me or see me. I'm so confused to be honest. Like he's the nicest guy and I don't want to keep crushing on him because I know I'm going how things might end up. I need help or advice on what to do.

How does drug dealing work? I mean the process.
Right now I have a middle man that will fetch a gram or two for me when I want cocaine. I pay a modest sum of 10 bucks for their time and gas and effort -- since you know, they're the middle man.
Except, I wonder, what risk comes with that? Getting ripped off? Obviously the middle man and the dealer could collude and jip me. But the thing I like about this middle man is that he will deliver for me -- I hate walking out and getting it myself or with someone else. I like to keep things low key regardless, but I wonder if there's better ways of doing this?
Mind you, money isn't an issue.

Do you trust him? Do you know him as a friend or is he just a shady guy who could totally get away with screwing you over?
>>
>>18076894
I trust him enough -- I've gone through him before. The blow he gets is safe and relatively straight, not much cut at all. He'll go out of his way -- it doesn't really matter what time it is, which is why I like him. I mean, he deals with our 'Uncle' of the town, you know? He's with the big man, so there's probably a reason why he's straight with me.
Except, I have a feeling they know I'm new to all this. But I haven't gotten bad stuff from him yet, so there's that. I just want to be safe and try to be smart about all this.

I'm 24; I've been in and out of university for 6 years, with no progress to show for it. I have severe anxiety that occurs only when I try to study, which makes it impossible for me. Today, I failed a linchpin course that will set me back another 3 years of study/debt, and this has effectively ruined my material life for the foreseeable future.
I am very aware of the nuances and mechanics of my emotional problems, and fixing them is not the issue here.
The issue is how to deal with failure.
I'm moderately intelligent, very emotionally intelligent, moderately attractive, and have learned to be charismatic. From childhood, people always thought I would excel in all parts of life. But I haven't - due to my issues, I have failed in almost every aspect - especially academia - and my tricks to avoid revealing my failures to society are running out. Soon, everyone will know. And they will be surprised... and likely pity me. The shame will be burning.
In the grand scheme of things, I know my failures are not that relevant, given the likely time I have left in my life, but it still does not help the pain and shame I feel.
Have any of you been in the same situation? How have you dealt with the social shame of losing at aspects of life (especially when people expected otherwise of you)? Is there any thing in particular that can help?
