How difficult is it to get a job in the field of Paleontology/Paleobiology/Paleoart?
What requirements do I need to fill? Like how many years of college, what types of grades in High School, etc.

In my small country (17 mill inhabitants) only 3 people earn their money with palaeontology. Small chance you'll get there but if you really want it:
Go study biology/ geology and contact the right people for internships.

From what I've heard it's very hard to get employed in those fields since they are basically only academic (low supply) and everyone thinks it's cool (high demand).
Additionally, I'm pretty sure you need a phd in that field to do anything. (I.e. 4 years for a bachelor's + 5 for a phd minimum)

You can do a PhD in less than 5 years.

Been drinking coffee since a teenager (now 30). I was drinking a pot daily a while ago. Quit all other drugs (weed,alcohol,cigs) for well over a year but cant seem to kick the coffee. My problem is, I get these weird migraines without it where the deepest part of my brain feels like its malfunctioning. Its hard to explain but I feel sort of like I'm having a mild seizure and my thoughts get very jumbled until I sleep for 10 straight hours. Not sure if related to thalamus shrinkage? So if I don't have any coffee for a couple weeks or switch to decaf, I feel a lot better and happier (after going through withdrawls). But it's like I get bored or just crave it so badly that I go back to it. After drinking just a few cups daily for a week I get the same brain issues and it's like my mind starts to shut down. All I want to do is sleep it off until I reset. I'm considering going back to cigs or alcohol since I never had a problem with either one, to help or at least make it easier to cut back on the coffee. Is there another way or am I permanently fucked?
tldr; Lifelong caffeine addiction has altered brain waves in a bad way. How to fix?

I'm in the same boat as you. I went cold turkey last month and had these blinding, crippling headaches for about a week, combined with vomiting and flu-like shakes/chills. I managed to last about 2 weeks without coffee after the physical withdrawals subsided but the psychological addiction was still there, my brain just felt like it wasn't functioning right without caffeine. I finally caved a couple days ago and now I'm back on daily coffee. Apparently severe caffeine addiction is actually pretty similar to a lot of other addictions like heroin where even if you manage to quit, you still crave it for years afterwards because it has permanently altered your brain. It fucking sucks, I'd like some advice on this too.

I'm >>18089338 and my problem is mostly that I have GERD, and with GERD you are absolutely not supposed to have caffeine, especially coffee. If it wasn't for that, I wouldn't really give a shit, but caffeine is literally killing me so I need to get off it.
But it's hard.

My boyfriend says he loves me. But when we first got intimate, he didn't get hard even though i stripped naked for him and i know and I've been told that i'm quite sexy.. does that make me less of attractive? or is it that he doesn't love me?

Maybe he was just nervous.
Be supportive, don't question his love because he didn't get hard.
>>
>>18089311
Sometimes anxiety causes this, so don't take it personally. Talk to him and tell him how you feel. Ask him to be honest with you.
>>
Performance anxiety. Your dude was probably nervous as hell and couldn't get it up. Just keep trying until he feels comfortable.

Can we share insights, mentalities, philosophies, random nuggets of wisdom or any general advice you may have on being successful in life?
Whether they're lessons you learned a hard way or something you picked up along the way that you feel would be worth sharing.
I'm 24 now and I've done fuck all with my life. I'm going back to school this summer and making an attempt to get back on the path to self improvement that I've fallen off so many times before and I hoping that I will stick to it this time.
I'd just appreciate any sort of wisdom someone could share. Anything really.

All regrets are being sowed from chances you don't take. Remember that chance being taken and result in failure still more satisfying than not taking it all.

How disrespectful and fucking gross is it if your boyfriend or gf like in my case rubbed her feet on your pillow like its no big deal. She says its an accident but she just doesn't get how gross and offensive to even accidentally rubbed your feet on someones pillow is. Lets not forget she walks around barefoot.
Am I right that shit is fucking gross right!? Huge fight about it and she doesn't get it!

Hello there. This is a general life question/advice request.
Short backstory on me:
Im a guy born and still living in a poor european country. My parents are rich, so I never had to worry about money, often bought expensive things for my friends, randomly gave money to poor people just to make them happy, bought things for no reason, etc. I never wanted to expose myself, and dont like showing the money i have, since it is really not mine, and i have done nothing to earn it, i was just lucky. I have like 3 plain white shirts, a pair of jeans, and a hoodie, i just dont like that people know that i have money, since i feel that they would treat me differenly. I have spent my whole childhood playing competitive online games, and it was for a long time the only thing i enjoyed. I never really tried at school, since i found it boring, and was too occupied by the games, but i got accepted into the best school in the country, because i won a national math competition. I was never really social, dont like going out, never tried really, but i have some really close friends. In my free time I still play games, not as much as before tho, write philosophical stories, and just chill in my room.
Advice needed:
My parents are planning to move to the US with me, and idk how to feel about that. They have recently been forcing me to get into coding, and programming, probabbly because i spent a lot of time on my computer, but i was playing games, and have no intrest in those things. In the school I am currently in, i get mediocre grades, since i lack the inspiration to better myself. I really do not know what i want to do with my life, since i already have everything I want, there is nothing to work for in the future, at least i feel like that. All of that has caused me to get quite depressed, i dont know, it might be the way i view the world, i feel terrible for some reason.. Anyways, i want to see what you think, what should i do with my life?

What happens when your parents get tired of supporting a lazy, do-nothing leech, cut you off, and tell you that you need to learn to take care of yourself before they're willing to even think about giving you anything else?
>>
>>18089003
I actually wish that happened, would give me inspiration to do something, but I know them, they will never do that, and it's kind of sad.
>>
>>18089012
>I actually wish that happened
Then cut yourself off. Walk away and make your own way in the world.

Just weight in general? Eat pasta or potatoes with cheese. Lots of carbs and fats.

That's a terrible way to gain weight.
You're just getting your blood pressure up and sugar crashing and feeding empty calories.
How about, work out in the gym?

I've been in an exclusive relationship for about seven months and i want to know if you guys thinks it's worth staying.
>she lied about seeing other guys the frist month and i had to find out through facebook that some guy was in a position where he thought he was her bf.
>she apologizes and we become "exclusive"
>I've asked her multiple times if she would be my gf, but i always get the "I dont know what we are" or "i like what we are now, i dont think i want a relationship."
>She has said didnt feel the "spark" twice. One time she even blocked me on facebook, then the next week she's back to normal.
>She has gone on solo outings to sports games with other guys a couple times. Says they're just friends.
>Always telling me other guys ask for her number or hit on her.
I want a relationship, but she wants a best friend she can fuck basically. Is there any point waiting if she has avoided giving a concrete answer? Maybe she's still lying to me and I've just been blinded.

Dump her, OP. Things will only grow more painful in time.
She's totally fucking other guys. She's totally lying to you. And even if she's not lying, wouldn't it be nice to be in a relationship where you don't have to worry? Where she doesn't go out with other guys? Where she doesn't have to constantly promise that he's just her friend?
Don't matter how cute she is or how much you love being around her. You'll find someone who is cuter, you like more, and someone who wants you as much as you want her.
>>
>>18088860
Bail. She's not willing to commit to a relationship and even if she did, you can't believe that she means it -- she's both ambivalent about it plus has very little personal integrity.

If I was to come across a serious enemy of someone I know on a fetish website with nude photos. Extremely raunchy stuff that would not make anyone look good. Not full body but half face with full nudes and visable tattoos etc. You can tell its the same person. What could you do with these pictures to release them in the best way possible?
Perhaps sending it to their family members?

why do you feel this will accomplish anything? sounds like you're just starting petty drama for the sake of antagonizing someone
>>
>>18088768
Tell the person about it that's your friend so they can handle it of they need to. Like have them save a pdf version of the site/profile and not say anything. If she's tries to get him fire or mess with him pose a a concerned citizen and email a link to her work saying you are highly offended. Lol
Only if she tried to be a cunt though nit just out of spite.
>>
>>18088775
What it will accomplish is that I will feel better after doing it because this person is a monster who has done 100 fold worst things to others. Not in particular to me but this person is still doing these things, maybe if I did this it would give them a change of character?

Is it possible to break up in a way that's not hurtful and not filled with any anger or resentment. That's understanding an honest and in no way revengeful or intentionally hurtful or filled with anxiety and fear from both sides? A sort of "I feel it would be best to break up and move our separate ways. This is how I've been feeling... I want us to be happy even though we won't see each other"
man this fucking sucks to care about someone so much yet feel too overwhelmed with being in a relationship. i feel like shit

I mean you're right. I don't want to hurt the person but I know it will hurt. And the other person is happy and I don't want to take that away by trying to make myself happy. I don't know what to do.

if you cant see yourself with this person then stop wasting his/her time and stop keeping him/her in a lie
leave and dont fucking dare say you care about them, because thats a lie.

Don't do a phd for the money bro, do it because you love the field. If you do it for the money you will drop out.
A phd isn't just finishing classes, that's a masters. A phd is 5+ years of grueling work and original research. If you aren't passionate, you won't care enough to do the research.
t. Bout to graduate with a phd in math

I'm old and I'm stuck in life and things don't seem to be moving anywhere for me. I can't seem to get my life started.
I'm 26 and still live at home and even ask my parents for money. And it's embarrassing and shameful.
The thing is, all my life I have tried doing what is expected of me and tried to follow the "right" path, but it never lead to anything good.
I worked hard for years to receive a degree that would get me a job. I come from a poor family. I received two excellent job offers that would have turned my life around. I was head over heels. I accepted one of them. Then a few days before the start date of the job they canceled on me. Now I'm emotionally and physically broken and I don't know what to do. it's been over a year and half since I got my degree and the last 6 months were spent getting these two jobs that ended up not leading to anywhere. It's been a month since the job offer was cancelled and I haven't been able to recover. I'm fucked due to the huge gap of employment on my resume.
I have no money, nothing to put on my resume, and forgot a lot of what I learned. I'm so crushed by the last minute rejection I don't have he confidence to go through any more interviews. I feel ashamed and like I let my parents down. i think about killing myself often and can't sleep at night.
What do I do?

>I'm fucked due to the huge gap of employment on my resume.
that's not a thing
>>
>>18088660
It so definitely is a thing. How is it not?
I don't know what degree you have but with mine(business) it's a huge issue. Employers expect you to have pre graduation internships. Internships that I wasn't able to receive. My highly ethnic Hispanic name may have been an issue.
I mostly spent most of the time of my schooling participating in extracurricular to boost my resume and flipping random shit on Craigslist for money to afford book and gas. If I worked they would cancel my school aid and I would be fucked with tuition I couldn't afford as my parents weren't able to help.
When it was time to get internships I applied to almost any internship program but wasn't able to secure anything so I'm lacking in work experience.
A lot of recent graduate programs have a rule that only let you apply if you have been out of school for less than 6 months. So I'm fucked in multiple ways.
>>
Keep applying. Don't stop. I know it's hard. But you can't stop.

My best friend tried to kill herself today. She just got sent to the hospital an hour ago. I feel like I could have done something to prevent it, but I've been avoiding/ignoring her resently.
Idk what to do. I cant sleep.

It's tough honestly. I personally had a friend who got along great with everyone and I showed up to school and learned he killed himself.
I couldn't help but feel like I could have done something myself. My biggest regret was not even looking for signs that he struggled.
The best thing you can do is be there for your friend and convince them you'll be there night/day for them if they ever have doubt.
Hope this helps.
>>
>>18088512
The fucked up part is that there is literally nothing you can do. I've been in your position.
The best thing you can do is let them know they're loved and that if they were to somehow not be here anymore, that you'd miss them a lot.

You have to cut out toxic people eventually. You can be supportive and try to help her, but there are a ton of crazy fucks out there on a mission to burn themselves down. Don't take charge of them or some bs.

>two hours long, i ended it because i had a headache (didn't say this though, just asked if he wanted to get going but it seemed like he wanted to stay prior)
>said "i had a great time," hugged goodbye (felt like more than a polite hug but idk)
>he said we should get together again, i said "text me" and he said he would
>no text 24 hours later
now i know guys are different, he could be busy, he could be not into me or he could think i'm not into him. i'm wondering if i should continue waiting to hear from him or just text him tomorrow saying "hey, sorry i cut the date short blah blah i had a great time"
also he's kind of a shit texter/messenger, like i didn't hear from him at all between setting up the date and the day of so that's a factor

For goodness sakes girl, if you want to talk to him, even if it's to arrange another date, YOU text HIM. He probably thinks you aren't interested because you cut the date short when you were both having a good time, it's up to you to show him that you like him. No one's going to think you're a shameful hussy for showing some damn interest
>>
You've REALLY fucked it up and disrespected him. If you don't offer him sex soon he will lose interest.
