How do you deal with those sarcastic motherfuckers that turn everything you say back to you?
>>18609844
Fact.
Don't respond or ignore it. Sarcastic people think they are the most fucking hilarious and witty people ever. If you just give them a look and move on it stops, trust me.
Confronting it directly only makes thing worse. Like trying to get an anon to not call you a faggot.
How do you deal with assholes who bring up shit to get a rise out of you and get upset when you actually defend yourself?
My little brother (15) has becomed completely obsessed with Mincraft. He plays 3-4 hours straight without moving, sometimes 6. It's been like for the last 3 years. We tried everything and eventually we removed his computer. He went so apeshit he threatened to call the police that we are abusing him. He's becomed extremely arrogant, we can't talk to him. He's just becomed a giant asshole.
I thought of sending a letter to Microsoft to ban his account. He wouldn't notice that it was me because he often trolls and hacks. My fear is that he will go even more apeshit than the time we removed his computer.
What do?
>>18609703
sounds like a good idea, do it
he might need some actual counceling, but I am not certain about that as I haven't seen him
if he calls the police, there's not much they can or will do unless there are actual signs of abuse which if your story is true, I doubt exist
Microsoft won't do shit. They're not his parents, and they get dozens of emails a day from raging kids pretending to be another user's parents.
His threats aren't real. He's not going to call 911.
Take away his computer, and if he threatens, toss him the phone and tell him to do it.
If he has no bruised eyes, scars, blood or whatever, the cops won't do shit.
>>18609703
>6 hours of minecraft per day
You are doing it wrong. Instead of banning it, offer something more meaningful or enjoyable.
Does he do enough for school?
Is he fat?
Hygiene?
Friends?
Diet?
If all of these is met, why do you even bother? It is his life and sooner or later he will grow up from that. Just make him do some sport to counter obesity and 0 muscles. Swimming?
He will be fine. Also you can play minecraft with him or simply talk to him about stuff while he plays. Some kids do ciggarets and alcohol, your bro does minecraft. He will be fine.
Talk with him.
I've always faulted criminal justice workers (particularly cops) for being egotistical and pro-establishment, but I'm starting to change my mind about whether or not those two traits are negative. As harmful as 'the establishment' can be, I don't agree that criminality (illegal drug sales, violence, theft) against fellow citizens is totally justified under *any* kind of rule.
I think anyone who says, "You're a cop, maaaaan? That's not coooool," is being simple, and having trouble grasping the difference between making the laws and enforcing them. Besides, I would very much prefer forensics work to police work, and forensics workers are probably subject to less of that establishment-being-evil bullshit.
My other thought was getting into medicine, but I'm kind of a self-righteous hardass who only has so much use for money and social prestige. I'm also the analytical and hypervigilant type, rather than someone who is happy serving a never-ending conveyor belt of customers/clients. So, should I look more into criminal justice?
uh, if you want to, do it. What kind of advice did you expect to receive? What kinds of questions do you have about the profession?
>>18609638
>uh, if you want to, do it
I'm asking if it would be wise to do it.
>What kinds of questions do you have about the profession?
Is there anything I should know about criminal justice and/or forensics that isn't readily apparent?
@everyone
>>18609643
Well, for one, it's a LOT more boring that it looks on TV. A ton of crimes just go unsolved. Forensics in particular is a pretty boring job. You're basically like an undergraduate-level lab rat doing repetitive lab tasks all day.
Becoming an officer is better, but dangerous. Especially in the current climate. Cops are getting killed in the streets, which makes them jumpy, then they get a little too jumpy and kill and innocent person and go to jail. It's fucked up for everyone involved. I have a great deal of sympathy for the officers.
But, if you become an officer, you can maybe one day become a detective, and that's where shit is more comfy, but again, pretty boring and frustrating and sometimes unfulfilling. You will leave a lot of cases unsolved.
In all three jobs, you'll see a lot of shit no one should ever see and probably have nightmares about it. Eventually you'll become desensitized and feel numb to it, which is maybe even scarier.
All-in-all though, it's a decent living and a necessary job for society. It's a true service.
How am I supposed to find a a smart nerdy girl at art museums and history museums if they only go with their boyfriends? Do single women go ANYWHERE alone that isnt a bar?
Wait anon do you really just lurk at museums trying to find a solo qt that's willing to mingle?
>>18609622
No i have a museum membership through school so I'm there often. From what I see no women go there by themselves. I'm not looking for a hookup but it would be nice to chat with random qts about paintings art and other shit in the museums
>>18609627
so if your only goal is to talk to a female about art and other loser shit, why does them being with their boyfriends stop you?
Gf broke up with my today. Was a long relationship. It wasn't angry or anything. When she broke up with me I was completely in shock and frozen with greif and I didn't really say much. That was this morning and I haven't talked to her since. Should I text her and say something? I'm still in love and she said to contact her if I needed anything. Idk if I have anything to say or anything but I feel bad for not saying anything. If I don't text her are my chances of being with her again gone? Should I wait a day or two? Should I wait for her to text me? Idk what to do /adv/ it's been a very rough day for me.
>>18609561
30 day no contact rule exists for a reason OP.
I've just been sitting in her fb/ig bio all day and I figure as long as she keeps my name in there and relationship status as "in a relationship with you" there's a chance but idk and I'm kinda scared I'm doing everything wrong.
>>18609565
See she told me before she left my house this morning that she still "loves me to death" but she wants some "time to herself" and such. And she seemed really disappointed when I couldn't formulate anything of substance to say. So idk
Losing your virginity at an old age
I'm a 25 year old virgin, and i finally met a qt who really likes me. Our 3rd date is this weekend, and she's coming over and wants to bang. Only problem is she's kinky, and i've never even had basic vanilla sex. She knows that i 'don't have much experience', but she doesn't know i'm a virgin. I don't know if it'd be more embarrassing to tell her, or don't and have bad sex that doesn't scratch her itch. She has a high sex drive I don't want to blow it. She's a sweetheart who's more affectionate and supportive than any girl i've met. She even wants to take me to a family party so i can meet everyone. I don't want bad sex to ruin that, because right now it looks like i have something good going.
>>18609527
>kinky
>high sex drive
>wants to meet family after 3rd date
You're in over your head bro. Dating experience wise you're like a 10th grader. This girl will eat you alive. You will be in the palm of her hands, so be very careful.
>>18609542
She wants me to meet her family, anon.
Be attentive.
Ask questions.
Try to have genuine fun.
As long as you do those three things, as long as she likes you enough outside of the bed, she'll probably have no problems with what goes on in bed.
You already told her you're inexperienced, so don't try to front and pretend that you are, and don't let yourself be so scared and nervous about your performance that you forget to have fun.
Just go in with an open mind, completely willing and ready to try something new--Fuck your pride or whatever dumbshit.
What do you do when you're bored?
I've been bored all day. I had a lesson in the morning and went to the gym afterward. I've just been sitting watching TV for the past 5 hours. Nothing else to do. Tomorrow will be the same.
>>18609188
you need a hobby.
>>18609190
I have one. But it's very expensive
>>18609192
pick a secondary hobby then.
What is the best state / city to live in the U.S? Google says Seattle or Ann Arbor.
Best for what?
>>18608675
I wouldn't say there's one state that superior in every way. It depends on what of climate, culture, location, population size, etc. you want.
>>18608675
Japan so that you can see the kawaii uguu girls and watch anime with them desu
How to stop being jealous and petty?
My parents always make a big deal out of their and my brother's birthdays but "forget" mine. I don't want much, last year I just wanted to eat at my favorite restaurant (costs about $30 to feed the whole family there, I offered to pay the bill) and my parents agreed to it. My birthday rolled around and "things came up" (code for "mom doesn't feel like doing anything today") so they said we'd celebrate it some other time. No problem, at least they wished me happy birthday that morning.
I pestered them about it for nearly 2 months before realizing it would never happen and gave up. Now my brother's birthday is coming up, and my parents are making a HUGE deal about it again. Everyone is scrambling to buy presents, get a cake, plan a nice dinner, etc. and I'm secretly fuming inside.
How can I stop my jealousy? I want my brother to have a nice birthday but FUCK I want one too! Is that selfish? pic unrelated
>>18608611
How old are you and your brother?
>>18608635
I'm 19 and my brother is 24
>>18608639
You are just less liked child, probably unplanned, and nothing you do will change it.
Can I join the military even though I only have one arm? My parents are kicking me out the house because they don't want to support me anymore.
can't you get some disabilty money or something?
Why would they kick you out if you're disabled? That's terrible. How old are you?
>Male
>Live in a western country that has islam as a majority
>Parents were strict as fuck during my upbringing, especially on islam
>Always forced me to study islam and to pray to Allah
>At 14 I realised for myself that there is no god
>became 18 just the other day, in september I start my senior year in high school
>Told my parents that I don't believe in god
>They ignored every point I made and still force me to go to mosque and all that
>As soon as I finish high school, I'm getting out of my hometown, maybe even out of the country to study in college
>Don't know what the fuck I am gonna study though
Basically, I am afraid that once my parents see my full-blown atheist lifestyle, they will respect me a lot less and won't even want to talk to me. I just want a normal relationship with my family whether or not they are religious. I am afraid I might won't even be able to let my future child meet my parents cuz I think they will brainwash him/her into being muslim, but I want my child to choose it's path by itself.
You should of come out after you figured out your life. Now it's likely your parents won't help you fuck all when you do figure out what you want to do.
>>18608482
That was my original plan but I just couldn't stand there lying to them for so long. I used to lie a lot to everyone as a kid but I wanted to fix my personality by being honest to everyone, even if it meant getting into trouble.
>>18608498
Well now bask in the consequences. I'd come out later on but that's your choice.
Its 3 am in the morning i have so much in my mind and i want to vent but i don't have the strenght to do it or means. How do i cry and let it all out once and for all? Ive never cried in the last 5years also im a male if that makes any difference.
you can't. it's not your way of coping. i haven't cried in decades and i can't, even if i think it would be cleansing.
how do you usually deal with i
this?
>>18608256
I havent been this fucked up before like ever, things would eventually get fixed by themselves but the older i get the more i realise thats not how it goes to work and i just have all these bottled up emotions that no one wants to hear
>>18608262
why do you bottle them up? how do you know nobody wants to hear them?
Well boys, my wife is sweet, loyal, loving, beautiful, patriotic, hard working, great to hang out with, but really stupid. She's an archetypal dumb blonde, and is insecure about it. It took her the better part of a decade to finish her undergraduate degree. I have a doctorate. In the beginning her being stupid wasn't an issue, and we've worked on improving her analytical thinking (which it has), but now that we're considering having children, I am extremely worried that her idiocy will cause unintentional harm to them, or expose them to serious risk. I know she really wants to be a mom, and will do her absolute best, but her absolute best is not good enough to manage our dog's life, much less any children's. What do friendos?
If you have the money hire a nanny.
Money solves a lot of problems up to and including stupidity.
You're the one that intentionally married an idiot. What does that make you?
>>18607950
she graduated from college, defacto not retarded. Or at least not retarded enough for you to be legit concerned itll impact the kids.
Hey
I want to fuck, but I don't like the game of talking to women just to get laid.
If I'm to hook up with girls I would want to do it for the purpuse of a relationship.
I kind of want to visit an escort for sex. I have some fetishes I want to experiance with a dirty slut.
Money's not an issue
I live in a high standard country and the escort that come here seem nice. Seen some pornstars available also.
Why should I and why should I not /adv/ ?
>>18607939
Escorts won't help you learn to have a relaitonship. And you'll probably feel like shit afterwards.
On the plus side, you know, it's easy to get laid that way.
Also, as additional advice: You want to get laid AND a relationship. Well, one of those things will have to wait a bit. You have to decide and be patient.
>>18607957
Agreed
Relationships takes more time and effort than a sideways tango.
Yes you'll have to talk to somebody being a rich NEET won't help you find anyone who can 1/2 tolerate you without having to pay them.
Going though this same thing now just take your time it's a marathon not a sprint
Because what you really want is a dirty but loyal slut that will only do that for you and not some chadcock mcgymbrah. Don't settle OP. You have cash. Just pursue your interests like a normal person and the bitches will come.
I just got diagnosed with narcissistic personality disorder. Been wondering all my life why I'm so fucked up, have no friends, no life, no hobbies, interests and have no emphaty. Does someone have the same problem? How do you get your fix of dopamin and feel a bit happy, without drugs, alcohol, sex/fappng and inflating your ego? I posted this thread already in /fit/, but maybe /adv/ can give me some kind of new idea.
>>18607933
You're not a narcissist go larp on /b/
>>18607996
Are you a psychologist?
>>18608016
Yes I am
