I am 18 and suffered a stroke. Can I even smoke? I am going to ask my doctor but not seeing them for awhile. In the mean time does anyone have any answer?
>>18075715
Why don't you fucking Google it?
>>18075715
How the fuck did you manage that anon? And no don't smoke not even worth getting into the habit of, it's a waste of money and life, it'll make you lazy and brings on mental illness. Use your stroke as an excuse to yourself, think of it like if you smoke you're gonna cause another stroke
You shouldn't smoke even if you didn't have a stroke.
Now that you had a stroke you DEFINITELY shouldn't smoke no matter what.
The fuck.
hey /adv/, never posted here before but figured id give it a shot.
18 y/o, senior right now, yadda yadda. Anyway, for the longest time I had made a lot of plans with good friends of mine to attend university with them, especially with someone who I would consider my best friend, as we are very close. Throughout almost my entire life my family has been shattered and absent, and the only one I ever really see is my mother. The sense of belonging I feel with my friends is irreplaceable and precious to me. However, I found out that I am not able to afford University with them, despite financial aid and such. It is just too much money, and even still, the debt would be overwhelming. 100k+ is too much. I am partially afraid of moving on, I feel like a colossal fuckup for not trying harder to get a "full ride" and I am scared of being alone, again. How can I cope with this? Thanks guys.

Stop thinking that it will never end.
It will end. Its looking like it will end. So either face the music or keep suffering by averting the inevitable.
You'll meet nicer people

I know where you are coming from and I get it. We have been through a lot of shit together over the years (including more than one death, among other things.) Its a tight knit group and all, but I am really afraid of losing that sense of security and feeling lost, and I am also afraid of watching the people going to university move on while I am sort of forgotten and left behind.
How do I get over being 27 and never having a gf?
I simply can't get over it.
>>18075593
Damn, are you like ugly AND shy or one of the two.
Visit a church, give it a chance

I'm 23 only but I'm also thinking about killing myself I could achieve nothing I wanted to in my life
so what's the point of living
How do people afford to live on their own while attending college? I'm 22 and living at home, and with the money I make I couldn't possibly see myself being able to afford a place, utilities, food, etc unless I got another job, which would only further interfere with my studies. Even when I'm done with college, it's not as though I'll be landing into a full salaried position. I can't wrap my mind around just going out there and barely getting by just because you're "old enough" to do so when you can just assist your family financially. Is it easier than it seems?
>>18075550
Lol you sound like a spoiled rich kid and
>spoiled rich kids will never understand
You take out loans.
>>18075550
A lot of poor latino families do what you describe, minus going to college lol. They'll stay together until their late 20s in some cases, pooling resources. Eventually the children leave but there is no rush to get out or stigma for staying like in white families.
Former best friend who kind've abandoned me a year and a half ago just walked up to me and apologized after not speaking for a year and a half. He just texted me. Probably just going to tell him that I accept his apology, but I'm not interested in being his friend again. What do you guys think?
Why did he abandon you? I don't think that's a good reason not to be friends with him anymore I mean he went out of his way to come back and apologize and wants to be back together with you now.
True friend don't leave each other and since he's come back to you and asked you to forgive him he probably needs you now.
It's not about the mistakes he made that hurt you it's about the mistakes you make that could hurt him.
You're not happy that he abandoned you as a friend, are you? it's because you wanted him to stay as your friend.
Good friends are there for each other no matter what so if you want to be a good friend for him then stay there and don't make the mistakes that he made before.
Give him another chance, people can change so much over the course of one year, it's not like you have anything to lose if you don't grow attached until he proves he will be a good friend.
>>18075450
Tell him to fuck off, the fucking snake...
I want to focus on how to relieve the stress and anxiety without drugs so people know what to expect, how to recognize, and counter act PTSD.
First hand accounts with stories please.
You dont.
Try meditation or hanging around other like minded people.
I have MVA ptsd and it still surfaces after 10 years. Adderall and Tobacco and other relaxing drugs have helped.
Ive also been abused heavily by women so I'm not really into relationships or sex. Again drugs have kinda forced me past the pain.
Dont rule out drugs for they could be your only hope. Wait until we have decent augmentation support. Medical science will fix everything for you.
>>18075416
One thing. Op asked for one thing. Faggot.
>>18075404
I have pretty bad PTSD. Here is what i do.
drink less caffeine, sugar and stimulating stuff.
lay down and count to 100 when freaking out.
Accept sometime i am just gonna freak out.
Accept some things are beyond your control.
Escape into reading, games and stuff like that often.
Work out to control anger.
Anons, I recently came up with the idea to manufactur a game. I already came up with a title as that kind of just hit me and I immediatly got interested.
But I am already stuck at the first thing in the process of creating it as I haven't even the slightest clue about japanese culture, traditions, lore, feelings, family, all of these which are sole components of what this game will be built upon.
End idea is to be able to create an epic game experience from advice from you anons.
Game will give the user a great insight in learning the game because of it's massive story content and pedagogy.
Mechanics will be fast but simple to use, no jumping across to the other side of the keyboard. User experience will be a good feel japanese way of drawing.
Though I do have a few requirements they are irrelevant:
You'll be playing as a boy.
You be playing in Japan in the 8th century
The goal throughout and of the story in the game will be to give ther user a feel of love, sadness and joy.
Title: House of Sakagami
Genre and vital elements of the game: Epic story of a family with a twist of mythology, fantasy, lore, traditions and feelings.
Technology:
2D graphics, real-time, physics, singleplayer.
>>18075378
take it to >>>/jp/
>>18075386
>Implying /jp/ will want to talk about traditional Japanese culture
Well anyways OP, you better start looking at some history pages.
You're tackling this from a completely off view. You basically have nothing, but an extremely loose non-researched idea you probably got from some energy spike. You should realizw that games are a long term committment and that you need to follow a good pipeline to get shit done. Also you have to bring all the people and budget on board.
The reality is, no one is interested in yet another completely unoriginal story and setting where you play as a little Japanese guy/girl.

I like changing my (phone) wallpaper/screensaver and rice my desktop regularly.
Among the wallpapers of cities and nature, a lot of them include women.
>They are never explicit or graphic
>I avoid using wallpapers where the subject holds eye-contact with the camera.
Usually they are back pictures or and performing a regular activity.
To me all of them have artistic merit or reference to me.

how can i measure baking soda without a scale? im trying to get about 25 mg of baking soda but i have a bag of 10 grams.
>>18075209
pour it all inside of your anus and see how much it stretches.
>>18075231
how many mgs do i have to put in before it stretches?
>>18075209
>not trolling
Pinch "a bit" of the baking soda with your index finger and thumb. That should be around 25mg.
So it's been a while since the last time I had a date or got laid. And at the moment, I am not looking for a relationship, cause I haven't got the time and the nerves (last one was pretty exhausting).
Anyway, at the moment I am considering whether to try out Tinder. Just looking for sexdates or a friend with benefits, nothing more.
Has anyone here any experience with dating apps like Tinder? Is it worth a try? Have you got any other recommendations?
>>18075206
Tinder kind of blows. There's an algorithm, you see. As a dude you can't expect instant results just because every woman on there will be SWARMED with guys (a lot of whom are thirsty pajeets being like 'hi u are buetifal') and generally when it generates a "deck" (people it gives you to swipe on) the people who liked you are towards the front of the pile. So it may be a while before you even show up in people's stack. Everyone has a score, too, so the more attractive people who swipe right on you will boost your score and cause you to show up sooner in a given deck. Idk, read up on it; realize that you have to kind of play the algorithm to have good results (unless you are insanely beautiful and have incredible photos of yourself modeling).
Have good photos (I don't mean just be attractive but like, have quality photos that show you smiling and having fun with friends and stuff not weird loner selfies). Treat it like a game, and don't take it personally.
Personally I only tinder when I'm either
a.) Drunk
b.) On the toilet
>>18075248
Thanks for your answer!
You ever had any success?
>>18075248
>doesn't matter if you're good looking, just don't have weird loner selfies
B-but I don't have any
So /adv/ I need advice on how to word a breakup phonecall to my gf of 3 months or so.
I've never had to do this before so I honestly don't know what to expect or what to say without coming off as autistic or something.
Reasons I'm breaking up:
We have polar opposite interests, in that I hate what she likes and she hates what I like.
She is far too busy to spend any time with me ever, (she went to spend times with her friend on valentines day rather than me)
and her parents are too strict to the point that we've had to keep our relationship a secret, which sucked ass
Pro's (I guess):
I am a nerdy anti-socialite so the odds of me getting another girlfriend within the year is pretty slim. So staying with her is still better than nothing I guess?
I do enjoy spending time with her, it just so rarely happens and I get blown off frequently (she is doing her phd and working a part time job).
tldr;
I'm breaking up with gf over the phone in about 3 hours time and need some advice on how to start the conversation and also what to expect.
>phonecall breakup
pussy
she deserves better
>>18075116
trust me, I've been trying to arrange a face to face meet up for the last week. Then tonight she cancels on me again with friday, sat, and sun all being no-go's.
Only reason I'm doing a phonecall breakup is that it's already been a week of trying to meet up with next week not looking good either.
>>18075116
>3 months
>she went to spend times with her friend on valentines day rather than me
>she deserves better
Not seeing it, sure you're not mad some people can break up with a girl instead of scraping the bottom of the barrel in hopes they'll ever have one?
>>18075114
I'm not happy with our relationship and I'm ending it.
Insert statement about if you would prefer to be or not be friends following.
Let her speak, ignore what's said, reassert statement, end phone call.
Hey I need an a advice,
How do I create an account anonymous email,
I know about not putting your own information on it when creating but I can dodge the phone number part.
I ask most of my tech friends but they suggest using tor browser but it feels a bit too risky tho..
Got any advice to know how?
Thank you guys!
I think there are places they don't ask for phone numbers.
Any time something demands a phone number of me, I download a text free/text now type app and use that. It gives you a phone number. It's basically the ten minute mail of phone numbers.
>>18074966
what are you using the email for? your answer determines the level of anonymity you'll need and will help us give you a good response.
Why the fuck is my cat so clingy? She *always* has to sit on me, follows me around the house and wants to cuddle. I've had her and her sister since they were 10 weeks old, but her sister mainly keeps to herself. She's been like that for years. Should I be worried?
Also, she's an indoor only cat and spayed.
>pic related
>>18074956
now she wants to annoy my wife...
I wish I had a cat like yours dude
you'll miss her when she dies
>>18074965
>you'll miss her when she dies
that much is certain. still, i want to sit alone every now and then without her begging to get on my lap.
>date girl
>girl is into me, I'm not into her
>feel confident enough to let her go, she gets clingy
>treat her badly because I'm indifferent to her leaving me
>finally she's had enough and start acting distant
>suddenly I get paranoid, start getting clingy towards her and be unhappy that she isn't giving me the attention she used to
>she tells me she isn't afraid of letting me go anymore
>I lose my confidence in finding someone else and fall back into scarcity mentality
what is this mental illness that makes me flip flop on what I want? I want to get out of this but then I'm afraid of how my mindset will change immediately and make me regret the decision. Anyone have been in similar situation?
>>18074929
You're a frogposter, that about sums it up.

Lel. You're a greener grass kinda guy. You don't realize how good you got it until it's gone.
There is this girl who's personality really attracts me. She lives in Guyana and i'm in New York. How would a long distance relationship work?
Please someone?
Dont, just find one of the 5 million women in the city.
How attached to this girl are you Anon?
