Fucking take the days, it's just for a week. And ask him why he wants you to use a screenlogger. Did he say why, that seems bizarre.

>What are my options?
Employer retaliation is illegal on a federal level, and you likely have a case given that tax issue. Realistically though you have nothing unless you have the deep pockets for a lawyer. Say nothing and ask him why he wants you and only you to have this program, don't treaten a lawsuit or anything like that. If his reasoning is bullshit consult an employment lawyer if you really want to go ahead.

I'm just not going to do it. I don't feel comfortable. Because I only became a bomafide employee last week after working for him for a year I feel like he's just looking for a pretext to fire me.

When practicing, do you ever record your voice so that you can hear it played back, or use a microphone setup? This serves two purposes:
1. You can listen to the recordings to pick out areas you need to practice more.
2. Your voice, heard by yourself as you speak, will sound different to you than it will sound on a recording. The voice sample on the recording is actually much closer to what other people hear when you speak. The reason your voice sounds different to you on a recording is that the internal mechanical parts of your ears which interpret outside sound waves will be vibrated additionally by the resonance from the speaking parts in your throat, which will affect the way you perceive your own voice. So, if you want to get a feel for how your voice really sounds, it will be useful to record your practice or to use a microphone setup so you can hear your voice from an external source.

Impressions are more than just matching vocal range, most of it is in the mannerisms.
If I had Donald Trump's vocal chords but talked like I always do, it wouldn't sound like him at all - but if I could imitate his speech patterns, vocal ticks and pacing perfectly, it wouldn't matter if I was a girl, people will immediately get it.
Try doing impressions without changing your pitch, it'll be a good exercise.

>>18623396
You need a strong musical sense and the ability to hear and duplicate the "music" of a person's speech patterns. Very few can do that, which is why very few can do impressions

kek


sounds like a huge scam bro

Well.. It just said message from Xbox. Which and all I could do was delete the message so presume it's the company telling me

>>18623390
can you give us a picture of the message? maybe it's a promo for one of their apps or windows.

Why are you stealing the babies food supply? No matter how you bring it up it will be creepy mamas boy.

Admittedly, this is a tough one.

1. Bring up fetishes and get her to admit something weirder.

2. Do NOT call it 'breastfeeding.' That's fucking weird/creepy.

3. Just be open with her and tell her her tits are awesome.

4. Do it during sex, a bit, to establish it as something that gets you off. If you're not awful at it, girls tend to like it too.

>>18623404
How to not be awful?

>>18623366

Usually, no. But there are outliers.

Still, any plan that begins with deciding who you want to date before actually meeting them will probably fail.

One night stands? Oh yeah.
A serious relationship, I highly doubt it, there's going to be quite a gap in general life experience.

Not really interested in dating, but would at least like more than a one-hitter.
Do they do bootycalls?

Which uni did you go to?

Search for some BA jobs. You don't need to be extreme techy but have done general business logic.

>>18623322

How old are you? Some dating options are better in different age brackets. Broad strokes: Have fun on a date (movie, food, amusement park, whatever). Don't go for a kiss without breaking the contact barrier first. That's a way to see how comfortable she is with you.

Real sick of seeing this picture, and I'm 6'3

19, I'm in uni.

Something Awful Forums.

The site that spawned 4chan.

You don't need a website with dark humor that isn't toxic.

You need FRIENDS like that.

Did you try killing yourself? Donate all your money to bernie first though.

>>18623276
Fuck that. Things don't work out perfectly all the time. If anything this will be a test to see how strong your relationship is.

What has more priority for you?

Some bitch trying to sabotage your life, making demands and sucking your emotions and cum from you?

Some souless job which will suck all your free time, energy, youth, naivity and optimism in a unfair trade for fiat currency which in reality has no real value?

Personally i would pick up a bitch. For me it is harder to find girl worth having relationship with than new job.

She waa totally for the idea yesterday. And today out of no where she's against the idea. I love this girl. She's the girl I wanna marry. I've been saving up for a ring and everything. But I'm not sure why. But i feel she's going to leave me if I leave. But this is something that will give us a way better life. I need your help guys

cont.

but the fact that i have these feelings for her bothers me. even though now i know that i love this college and it's where i would want to go even if she weren't there at all, i feel a little ashamed for applying over my silly, teenage feelings for her at first. i don't want to look back on this in 10 years and feel like i made a stupid, rash decision over something so stupid and regret going there at all, that idea really makes me anxious. and i don't want to get over there and have our relationship affected over this and i don't want to come off as a creep and i don't want to intrude on her future relationships or anything, but these feelings are still here and idk what to do.

all i know to try to force these feelings away is to either distance myself from her or cut her off totally, but that would be a really shitty thing to do and i'm not into it. i just don't know how to deal with it man. this should be like a great, spirit-lifting experience, but instead i just have all this anxiety over this girl who also lives up there. i don't really think she's into me and i don't plan on actively pursuing anything romantic while i'm going to school up there and i'm totally happy with being friends, but i just feel so WEIRD about it. i'm always a little embarrassed when i tell people or people realize that she also went to this school even though i know i shouldn't be. idk how to deal with my own idiocy, and i guess i just needed to vent. hit me with some advice if anyone was actually strong-willed enough to read through all this shit.

<bump>

I was in a very similar situation years ago and completely fucked shit up. My advice is:

1) Don't lie to yourself. There are many, many colleges, yet you choose the one she's in. College is long and you should go to a college that makes you comfortable in the best way, leaving girlfriends aside. Imagine you'd never met her. Would you still have met this college? Would you have chosen another one? Are you ready to be happy in this college with literally 0 contact from her?

2) You seem very confused about your relationship. You like her, but at the same time say you don't want anything romantic. Don't lie to yourself, everyone wants something romantic with the person they like. It's not bad to have feelings for someone. However, keep in mind that she might not have these feelings for you, despite having hung out and having talked.

3) I understand how emotional people can get sometimes, but it is a very important moment to ask yourself what this girl means to you. Has she confessed her feelings to you? What if she doesn't even like you to begin with? Imagine she friendzones you when you're on the third month of college. Would you be able to get over it? Also imagine she starts banging hotter dudes on the city and you find out. How would it affect you?

4) There are many girls in many colleges. She is unique, like everyone else, but not special. Oneitis is terrible.

5) If you are sure she likes you and still wish to go forward with your decision, ask her on a date before applying to her college. Try to become his bf and get closer to her. If she acts distant it's time to drop the feelings and aim for something else.

Job?

22/M, been working night shifts in a harbor for about a year now, doing maintenance and loading ships. Was a carpenter for 2 years and did some odd jobs in between. Boring sometimes but I do like how quite it is and the pay is great.

I live in a small apartment 2 hours from work, got a bed and desk, really basic setup.

Your testicles have cancer or died thanks to random disease.

Your doctor probably fucked up the first blood test / exam.

The beatings, condescension, and threats ended when I turned 19 and we all moved out of the house I grew up in and separated a bit. I live with my dad and his girlfriend now. Not for long it seems. My brother is now living with his girlfriend and 1 year old son. This is irrelevant, what matters to me is what i should do now. I lost the drive for getting myself new things because is too easy for someone to Waltz in and just break all my stuff or steal it. I'm unemployed right now and im having a hard time keeping a job because people. I'm not good at interacting with others, i quickly run out of things to say.
I don't earn enough to get by right now, and sometimes the money isn't a worth while reward for me. I only use it for necessities and there isn't anything extra I want to spend it on except for pot and cigarettes. And i was very into video games. Spent hundreds of hours playing metroid prime in my unlit room hiding from all the crap outside of it. Its the best memory I have from growing up. I see that my peers have aspirations and goals, i feel I didn't have enough time to develop them I just wanted a quick end to things and still do at times. I don't really no what else to say i feel like im just rambling. Please if you have anything that might be helpful respond. Even if its "git gud pu$$y" I just want to know im not a complete 6th prestige autist for airing out my dirty laundry here.

Dedicate your life to paying back for what he did, obviously.

I think that you should probably see a mental health professional and or therapist. It sounds like you were beaten and abused from an early age by your brother. Because of the beatings you didn't really get to develop like a normal person would. The video gaming you used as an escape from a world that seems too difficult to deal with, which is understandable. One thing that might help once you become more motivated is getting into working out and or martial arts like BJJ. That way if anyone ever tries to hurt you again you can break their shit.

EzPz, do a mohammed cartoon

Assuming they're of the same power (that they're both square roots, for example), you just do.

Ex.: sqrt(3) * sqrt(15) = sqrt(45) = sqrt(9*5) = 3*sqrt(5)

Also, isn't this what your textbook is for? Or, looking up on the internet the question?

Learn for fun? Not knowing another language is sad. I met this Brasilian kid who likes taking drugs and we try to conversate about the times we're living in. Toma uma chance.
Chance is chance in Spanish Portuguese and English. Shits sad I'm telling you lol

>>18623037
There isn't a language I would learn for fun though
Call me a dumb American but I'm perfectly content with knowing the lingua franca of the world, sans China
My college requires me to take two years of some foreign language though. It's some lame shit.

Me thinks your Ego has something to do with language and identification. You really won't be the same person. You'd be cooler. Most people don't learn because they are afraid. Total bullshit.
