>Take the day off work to spend the day writing a report for my engineering class. End up spending the day in a mix of 4chan, Netflix and YouTube. The report is due in two days.
What the hell is wrong with me? It’s like I’m trying to self-sabotage. I quit everything I try eventually. I have no character; I’ve never face any true hardships or struggles in my whole life. I know what to do and I know why I don’t do it, but I don’t know how to do it.

You're on crack, OP. You need some rehab. It's okay, it's not your fault. You've been conditioned to think it's normal to behave like this, no different than anybody else.

Stopping this all is easy. All you have to do, is disconnect from the electronic world. From the world of vibrancy, and pretty colors. The world of instant gratification, and artificial pleasures. Embrace boredom, and acknowledge it. Boredom spurs action, and creativity. Purposeful action.

You acknowledge that in your ingestion of this media specifically tailored for you by the worlds largest corporation is the source of your complacency and lack of will. That the fads you see come to fruition and pass are controlled and moderated by large corporations to push their own agendas.

Recognize your own individuality, OP. Wake up, and lead your own life.

It's not that the media is addicting, but that you're using the media to avoid writing the report.

I'm 100% sure you would be in the smae exact situation even without Netflix, Youtube, etc.

At the very least, you need to commit to completing small goals (Pomodoro technique, etc.)

WHAT DOES IT MEAN when I long for my friends to pay attention to me and appreciate my presence, but I'm also very shy, very introverted, often scared of social situations and consciously go out of my way to seem invisible in public?
I am scared of being noticed but really want to be noticed by the right people. ???

You're introverted.
Humans are social beings and crave the company of others.
Essentially you want attention, but in moderation to what you're comfortable with.

Its normal and happens to a lot of introverted people.

Not true.

Formal conversion requires meeting with and lessons from a rabbi.

But why do it formally? You can learn and adopt the ethical framework without formal conversion, and anyone is welcome to temple services if you like the rituals.
>>
>>18649715
>How do I find someone to talk to about converting?
There are these things called synagogues where need congregate to worship, they organize in a thing called a congregation, typically led by someone called a rabbi, you talk to the rabbi about converting and they will provide you with options. You will have varying levels of success depending on how orthodox the congregation is.
>What do I read? I like their ethics and want to join the cabal
It's called the Torah, but considering the way you describe a congregation and your inability to use Google I think learning Hebrew is probably far beyond your mental capabilities.

Why do I only love someone when they're away? Why do I only crave their touch and kiss when it's not happening? It's perfect when it's rather brief and leaves me craving still afterwards

What the fuck it's ruining my ability to maintain healthy relationship as people don't tend to be scarce in their physical affection

I totally know what you're saying man...

In the moment of things it's at best "decent", then afterwards it's just suffering.

They say love is comparable to a cocaine addiction.

That's normal. You're probably a depressed cuck and you're experiencing love and nostalgia at the same time.

Alright /adv/, T510 or T520 ?

They're pretty cheap right now. (refurbished and destocking)
The most important aspect for me is battery life, problem is, for each of these two, the reviews don't agree with each other, some say the t510 lasts 10H, others says is lasts for a maximum of 5H, same for the T520. If any of you has one, how long does it last ? Does it have a 6cell or a 9cell battery ?


Studying programming so I'll use it most of the day.
My days will go from 8h30 to 17h30 with a possible 1h battery recharge in the middle of the day and MAYBE a recharge during a course. I may able to buy another battery in a few months but right now a single one has to be enough.

You can get about 24+ hours depending on your usage and settings.

15' is big and weight a lot, so you better get X series, or get 14' T series.
And it's preferably to get something with 3rd gen CPU at least for better iGPU performance, or go for C2D for true freedom.

Pic related is what I see so often because the neighboring campus has a ton of Asians as well, so I have to see gorgeous Asian women as well constantly with such amazing fucking soft silky hair and shaved clean smooth pale legs that make me get a boner if I stare too long

We need Sharia law holy fuck

>>18649632

well the point of nofap is that it encourages you to have sex with these girls.

Need to move out of this shitty place. No money. plan so far is homeless shelter then a real place. difficult ride. does anyone have a better option? also why the fuck is the suicide hotline on here.

a lot of people make threads asking how to kill themselves.

as for your situation, consider going ot the bank and taking out a personal loan or line of credit. you can get 3000 even if you don't have any credit score, at least I was able to.

use that to room with someone in a shared room situation while you job hunt. then save up some money, then get your own room.

Which bank did you go to?

I can't for the life of me convince myself that women actually enjoy/want sex.
It's gone so far as denying my girlfriend sex because I think she's doing it just for me.

I've talked to a therapist about this, talked about it with my girlfriend, read erotica for women, read countless threads of 'ask women anything' etc. but my subconciousness does not want to be convinced.

Any ideas?

You are actually not alone, though few people react as you do. Half the teenage boys in the world think sex is something only guys want and girls have to be talked/conned into.

The only sure cure is to find a woman you know to be so strong that she could not be talked/conned into anything she didn't want, so that you had to believe that she was doing it because SHE wanted it. Show your girlfriend the respect of believing she is that woman.

>I tall to a therapist
>I prefer the inexperienced counselors of 4chan.

Stop.

It you actually made your gf cum you wouldn't be in doubt

The only difference is that they don't crave it as much as we do every short while if not provoked to. But if you private them from sex for a while and then tease them, they'll want it even more than we do, you're basically starving and waving flesh to a beast.

Does the pain ever stop? I can't bear this honestly I'm so confused, what is happening. How can this happen. This wasn't supposed to happen

Does the pain stop, for real? I feel like this is a cosmic tragedy but I know it's just a "breakup" but to me it doesn't feel that way, it feels like the worst thing in the universe. I know that's dumb.

Yes, the withdrawal from oxycotin or whatever the hell it is will wear off. It varies for everyone.

I'm three months in, and it's getting better.

Buck up OP, you will survive.

It hurts but eventually the hormones in your brain that made you feel that way will wear off in the mean time i recommend picking up a hobby it helps fight the and will help keep her out of your thoughts

Doctors of /adv/

I got a pretty deep cut from fucking around with a very sharp knife while drunk (I know i'm an idiot). Does it look like I severed anything important (nerves, tendons, muscles etc.)? Should I get stitches?

My mom recently cut her finger about that bad. She should have gotten stitches, but she didn't want to be late for work. I think she just kept gauze and a topical antibiotic on it and it seems to be healing just fine. I think you will be, too. Gently clean it with warm water and anti-bacterial soap if you haven't already. S'bout it. Good luck, OP.
>>
>>18649584
Can you extend your furthest thumb joint completely against resistance? If so, the tendons are fine.

Are there any patches of numbness or altered sensation around the tip of your thumb? If yes, then you've damaged a nerve. At that site, it's probably too small to repair anyway.

I lost my temper at my wife. She deserved the anger.. constantly refusing to communicate over days and not working through things. I yelled.

Problem is my one year old was right there. The look he gave me is burned into my eyes. When I stormed out (right before his bedtime) I wanted to cry because I do not want to be that person in his eyes. I've been sitting in my truck now for 7 hours awake and I don't know how to go back in and face my family. Pic unrelated.

OK /adv/. Tell me what to do. I have seen people get good advice here and I'm grasping at straws at this time. I don't expect serious answers, but I need help.
So a while back while I was still in high school, I met the love of my life and she thought the same. She was a very quirky girl and she is perfect, to her hair to her voice in my opinion. She was still in school before she moved away, and me, being fresh out of highschool, we decided to stay together as boyfriend and girlfriend. We both loved each other very much. The only way we could talk with each other was with fb.
Around 3 weeks ago, she disappeared from facebook. Her account had been deactivated for shitposting too much, and I lost all contact with her family. After that, I somehow got ahold of her sisters fb, and asked her if she was doing ok. She said her account got deactivated and she would get back to me as soon as possible. Then her account was deleted.
I have spent the last 3 weeks searching for her and I have no luck. I dont know if she is doing ok or if she is alright or anything.
So I have a question for you all, what do I do? Keep searching for her or do I give up on the love that is perfect?
What do I do to find her?

She hasn't tried to contact you so better start moving on.

Seems like her and her family might be trying to break off from their past. Is there something you're not telling us? Did you nail their gutted cat to the front door as a sign of affection?

why?
>>
>>18649576
Their wifi is always been shit, so it would take a while for it so she could message me. The only thing that was bad is that our parents got into a argument that made me and her grow closer. They are constantly on the move and they have to deal with shitty hotel wifi. I tried contacting facebook, but it seems that they ha be no such thing with emails or the such, so me trying to contact them for my girlfriend's email seems pointless at this point.
Besides, she isn't one to disappear, she would have told me she wanted to break up, that's the type of girl she is.

I just turned 19 and I found myself in a management position in a large chain supermarket, this particular store can easily make $80-100k+ a day. Shortly past noon I'm in charge of ALL of it until I leave.

This usually isn't ever a problem, but how do I earn the respect of senior employees and other side of the coin, how do I still be a 'cool boss' to higher schoolers my age without being a pushover or a generic mr. manager?

Hey I work in a grocery store and we have a young cool boss too.

He's great because he's chill, easy to talk to, cares about his employees, but is also an effective manager and makes things run smoothly. I think the trick is to take your job seriously enough, but not too seriously. Don't be petty and be able to take suggestions from people under you and you're already in the top 1% of retail management. Some old people will just never respect a young manager. Fuck em. What they *will* respect is a competent and supportive leader, regardless of your age, so just focus on that, and don't take things personally. Respect often finds its way to those who deserve it.
>>
>>18649547
Just don't be a fag
>>
I'm in a similar situation, I've learned to just not give a fuck about wether or not they like me. Instead I focus on doing my job and running the store. I find its tougher with the ones I've started friendships with over 2 years but again if they don't respect me enough to not slack around while I'm managing then who needs them or cares?
As a female with 99% female coworkers and the ones my age (early 20s) loving to gossip, I've learnt to shrug my shoulders and move on. I get paid more and give them all the shit tasks if I really want too plus I'm getting my shit together and forming an independent life while they still rely on their parents to get to and from work.
