Some things have disappeared from the kitchen of the house I'm renting in. Four tenants share it with the landlord and his family. It's a spacious house.
The dish soap is gone. The dish soap dispenser is gone. A bowl is gone. A spoon is gone.
Everyone is blowing me off, except maybe the landlord - the landlord might just be busy. They're either ignoring me, or telling me, "Oh it's just $10 worth of items (two of them are parts of sets).
I'm saying shit cannot be allowed to just disappear. This is really irksome, you guys.
Well the best thing to do would be to install a camera in the house and see what's happening like that guy who found a girl living in their house for 2 weeks,you never know what's actually gone until you see it's been stolen
I don't think I can give you any advice other than starting to think of moving out. You can't just start playing detective and search other people's room, so the chances of getting to know who did it are slim.
>>18030012
it's the cheapest place I can find in the best town I know of, so I'm gonna have some tolerance
this is just silly though, for things to disappear, and I'm gonna make a case of it
>>18030010
I don't the think the risk/reward investement/reward is working for that idea
Okay guys. I need your help.
So I've had a female friend for about 5 years or so. This Wednesday (just gone) we kissed. We've always been quite close and held hands while we've been out drinking and shit but finally we kissed. We were both drunk. We text a bit after and she was like "omg I was so drunk". All that bullshit. I said I remembered the night and was glad what happened happened.
Tonight, we met up with some mutual friends to do a pub quiz. She wasn't making any eye contact really or any signs.
I want to ask her out but the lack of signs and the fact I might ruin a small (but not too important) friendship is stopping me.
What do you guys think?
id get her real drunk again, see if shes into it again, and then take it from there
but dont fuck up the second time
>>18029978
Might work. I'll try and get her out again one night.
seems like she regrets it and you're going to embarrass yourself. my guess is you're going to ignore this advice and do it anyway.
tl; dr Really like gf in many ways, but her weight is starting to really bother me. What do?
I grew to really like a co-worker over about six months despite her being about 45 lbs overweight, so I asked her out in December. She no longer works for the same company.
Now, her weight has started to bother me. She's really pretty, and we get along great, have important things in common, similar senses of humor, and I really enjoy spending time with her, whether it's around town, on vacation, or just hanging out a one of our places doing not much.
But over the last two weeks I've begun to be turned off by her size. When we've had sex, it's felt like a chore, like doing something I'm obligated to do, and I think I'm starting to realize I'm not very sexually attracted to her, and that's 100% because of her weight--she's shown me naked pics of her from five years ago when she was at a normal weight, and she looked fantastic.
I'm already thinking about breaking up with her, and it feels terrible, and would hurt her very badly too if I did that. I don't think it's going to work out much longer if we aren't sexually compatible, despite liking her so much in other ways (maybe even "love"). I have a pretty good physique and watch what I eat (seems ridiculous to me to sacrifice your looks to indulge in excess food, but I guess everyone has different priorities).
What can I do here? What should I do? She's talked about the fact that she's perfectly happy with her body and would probably be less happy if she watched what she ate closely. Feel free to call me an idiot for not realizing these things before hand--maybe I never should've asked her out.
>>18029966
you know youre supposed to walk them at least once a day, right?
Try to encourage her to be more healthy together. Because you want to have a future together. This kind of talk with women is like Russian roulette with 5 bullets. In most cases you will get crucified.
>>18029966
you have a bit of a shot if you ask her to work out with you. Also if you frame it as your concern for her health. but be at least pretty close to honest
I have a strong desire to be romantic and be close to someone but this desire contradicts with my insecurities and awkwardness. How else can I overcome this loneliness?
>>18029964
drunk and high but see a beautiful balance in it:
If you're too shy and kind you tend to overthink things, thus when she breaks your heart you won't be ready for it. So as long as you let go of feels, you'll be able to handle the bad stuff better. If that makes sense
>>18029964
There's no else. Either you learn to stop wanting companionship, or you get companionship. Two options here.
>>18029985
It's not over a girl...and it's the cause of bad stuff, like the loneliness.
>>18029987
I want companionship but I'm insecure and awkward about it.
Close friend and i hung out. we drank, made out, and banged.
Theyre getting married soon and im in a comitted relationship.
Neither of us feel too torn up about it and kinda wanna do it again.
Did i fuck up?
Pic unrelated
>>18029938
you have to die
You fucked up... Anyone who is willing to break up 2 realshionships at once lacks respect and loyalty..not a good thing. If i were you id run away as fast as you can. Once a cheater always a cheater. This person will do the same thing to you in time. Is that really worth losing the person you are in a commited realshionship over. You are stupid for even considering doing it again.
>>18029953
Yeah i guess so
Our partners have no clue
How do I deal with having a bad rep in my university program? I struggled with a few group projects and now most people think I'm pretty dumb, plus word got out that I did badly in first year chemistry. I feel ashamed and guilty and it's exasperating my depression
Pic unrelated
>>18029918
>How do I deal with having a bad rep in my university program?
By proving that you're not that slacker who drags the whole group down and by proving that you're not dumb
>>18029942
Yeah but it's not like I was "slacking" I found the projects hard and couldn't keep up with them along with my other courses, but I did actually care about the projects
Oh well
>>18029958
Guess what? Other people have other shit going on too. You're expected to put in your share of the work regardless, just like everyone else. If that's your attitude, then I don't blame other people for looking down on you.
So I live in a dangerous part of town, and for a fun project, I thought it'd be cool to make gauntlets like in pic related for self defense (minus the spikes maybe). The catch is I want the part covering the fist to be able to "fold back" or retract with a lock, so I can pass it off as weird fashionable bracelets. As someone with no experience in metalworking or anything, where should I start?
Self defense against what?
What are gauntlets going to do?
Nothing about this seems like a good idea.
If you really wanted something concealable that would augment your fists, brass knuckles are far more concealable.
People aren't retarded. If they see you walking down the street with straps over your hands, and metal clasps, it's going to draw attention. Furthermore, it's going to make it seem like you're looking for trouble which is only going to draw more attention to you.
Speaking about the gauntlets specifically, I doubt they would even help in a fight in the first place. I mean, chances are you don't know shit about how to fight to begin with, then you're building gauntlets with poor tolerances that are essentially going to pad any impact you COULD make as well as slow down your strikes.
I just... I don't get it.
Get a knife or something.
You're not a magical witch girl.

Not to mention that carrying around a weapon like that is an offence in some places
I'm in a bit of a dilemma.
See, I'm the kind of guy who goes out of his way to only sleep with women I'm in love with. Issue is, my standards are sort of high.
After being single for about 2 years, I met a girl who fit the entirety of what I look for: smart, can banter with me, gorgeous as hell, makes me feel entirely comfortable and loved when I'm around her. We've both come to the conclusion that the other is a "loving asshole"; and that sort of give and take summarizes most of our relationship. The level of chemistry we have has been commented on, a lot.
At the time we met, she was 17 and we met due to our parents dating. I didn't pursue anything because both of the above, but she's now almost 19 (I'm 24 for reference) and I've been struggling with whether I should, or even if I should, pursue her seriously. The more time I spend around her the more I realize how much I like her, how much I love her, and how easy it would be to let myself fall in love with her.
But here I am, finally hitting the point in my life that women are expressing overt interest in me. I could wind up in bed with 3 or 4 women I know right now within the week, but I can't help but compare how they make me feel to how my soon to be step-sister does.
When you experience a chemistry with someone that you've never felt before, or could have really ever imagined, is it worth it to push it aside due to extenuating circumstances?
>>18029862
>she's now almost 19 (I'm 24 for reference)
There's gotta be something wrong with you if you can actually relate to a 19 year old.
>>18029862
>compare how they make me feel to how my soon to be step-sister does.
Wait. WAIT. So she is gonna be your step sister? And you want to put the moves on her?
Dude, I call bullshit on "I could wind up in bed with 3 or 4 women I know right now" because you come off as a creepy ass here. She is family, man. You met her as family and she is going to become even more family. Stop.
>>18029876
She's not really family though, is she? Not enough for it to be creepy imo

I originally wanted to write a love letter to someone I would love and never meet, but it eventually turned into a long essay into why I am screwed up, I just at least would like to find comfort in that maybe I am wrong, and I am acting stupid, or maybe I am right, and there is in fact, some hope
in the third line there's a typo on the second broken

Good catch, I have not spent much time proofreading, I guess its the Alternative spelling
Im so alone, i can't get a girlfriend.
Thats my only problem in life.

Bussiness oportunity!

Just being honnest.

If your alone and bored, your in bad company.
>>18029866
Most of my friends are from work. And they're all male. But this shit pays my bills? You think i should quit and become a neet?
I'm stuck in a Starbucks bathroom and toilet won't flush the paper towels I used for toilet seat cover what do I do?
Who the fuck flushes paper towels?
Pull them out with your hands. Also, just put your ass on the seat. It won't kill you.
>>18029841
>Responding to trolls
>>18029834
don't flush paper towels, dipshit.
if you want to be polite, pull them out, wring them out, and throw them away.
if you want to be a dick, leave it and run and hope no one knows it was you.
How do I find out what talent I have, or if I have talent at all? I've tried a bunch of things like drawing/making art, my art looks terrible even after a few years of practice, tried programming, I'm too retarded for that, can't even understand how 2 m00sic in the first place, terrible grades in school, useless in P.E etc. is it actually possible to be talentless? All I can do is watch anime and play video games (I'm also bad at vidya too)
talent is overrated as fuck. just find something you like enough that you can practice it more than other people are willing to, practice hard for a few years, and people will start popping out of the woodwork complimenting you on your "talents".
talent doesn't exist desu, just practice a thing you like until you're good at it.
I would say it's impossible to not have a talent of some sort. Nobody is born great at anything, we develop aptitudes as we spend time doing things. You spend time with people, you learn to be empathetic. You work with your hands, you become dexterous and form an idea of how physical components come together to perform a function. You play video games, you develop hand-eye coordination, and learn how to adapt and learn new rules and environments.
So, no, I don't think you'll magically be able to disassemble an auto-mobile with your eyes blind-folded and a leg and arm tied behind your back, but I wouldn't say you don't have talents. You just can't see them, because the things you want to be doing aren't the things that you have been doing.
I just bought some cactuses from ikea, should I replant them on another pot? how often should I water them?
>>18029800
ITS CACTI, YOU FUCKING MONGOLOID
CACTI
>>18029812
plural cacti \-ˌtī, -(ˌ)tē\ or cactuses also cactus
cactuses and cactus are also correct
As a kid i didnt take care of my teeth very often, as a result my teeth are slightly yellow and have white marks where they have been chipped from sports or other things, it bugs me and for the last few years iv made sure to brush and floss twice daily but it still seems to stay yellow.
Is there any hope in just sticking with twice a day or should I get lazer whitening? Is there any homemade 'tricks' that arent bullshit? Should I start brushing immediatly after i eat?
What do i do from here?
Gargle with hydrogen peroxide once a day for 1 minute before brushing.
Cut down on acids/coffee/tobacco.
You're welcome.
>>18029756
Can't change it now without whitening, which can actually do some damage to the integrity of the teeth
I have the same issue. I went to see the dentist about it and he said to drink fizzy drinks with a straw only. Makes sense, because I used to hold them in my mouth for several minutes before swallowing. Now I use a straw all the time, and it's not getting any worse.
Problem is girls notice and I have to explain it's not plaque but staining
>>18029756
unfortunately its hard to undo damage when its done. this isnt like you got some gunk on your teeth this is like leaving your shirt in bleach for a few years then wondering why you can't get the color back. it doesn't exist.
you can go to your dentist and pay to have it whitened, this is standard procedure after braces as you tend to get some yellow regardless of how hygenic you are when you wear those.
I just took the worst shit of my life. There were about 5 different, wide as hell, rock-solid chunky tissue-tearing pieces. I only got one tiny pebble using my lower muscles alone. Even after a 30-minute session of doing single-player kama sutra positions to align my organs favorably, the only results were nearly passing out, getting drenched with sweat, and now carrying a sphincter full of chunky hell. I walked around with this payload in tow hoping to push along the digestive system, but no such luck. The turds were in no intestine's land and just packed in there like a sack of coal.
I only managed to get them out after swallowing my pride, pushing them out as far as I could, then breaking off some of the volume with my finger so that I could finally pass them. I washed away the smell but I couldn't wash away the emotional damage.
As I sit here, bleeding and defeated, I have two questions for /adv/:
1. Is this what anal feels like?
2. How can I make sure this never happens again?
Fix your diet and eat some more fruits vegetables and fiber. What the hell are you eating, doritos all day?
>>18029742
Milk of magnesium might help!
Change the way you eat. Have morning walks.
>>18029742
I love the way you write.
