Hi.

During the winter, mice came into my apartment through a hole that is now patched. To get in, they had to crawl over an open box full of utensils. They definitely pooped on them and I kind of smell piss.

Is chlorine in city water enough to kill any trace of bacteria or should I dump them in alcohol or something?

Advice on long distance relationship.
Wonder if you guys will recognize me from past threads, I'll greentext whatever I can.

>20
>Talking on Skype with cute Japanese girl
>3 days later she confesses to like and wants a ldr
>I'm moving to Japan next September (I don't plan going before so I can save more money)
>Says she will wait for me
>Actually believes her, she's so innocent and sweet
That was like week and a half ago
>Still talking while we can with those shitty timezones, I usually wake her up each morning and we talk for 2-3 hours (fucks up my sleep schedule but worth it)
To the real problem
She is a soon to be university student meaning she studies like 12hours a day to her entrance exam, I understand that she doesn't have time to write every few hours but it's actually makes me more obsessed over her lmao, and I've had gfs before, not ldr ofc but I've never yearned for someone's voice and seeing her face before.
This ldr for now is 75% wondering and unfocused and 25% joy.

Tldr how do I stop thinking about her and actually focus on myself again? I just want to be myself again...

>Inb4 break-up with her
No thank anon I just want to know how to care more about myself instead of waiting for a phone call or a message.
In a year it will all be fine as shit as well, I (want to )believe her words and feelings.

Proofreading this I sound like a faggot, oh well what to do anons?

Can anyone interpret dreams here?

So I had a dream last night that I would need to get a 13 hour surgery for a tooth infection. Previously in the dream, it seemed I had a tooth extracted, and when I used a mirror I saw an empty hole. Apparently talking to my black doctor (I've never had a black doctor), he said that it got infected from the earring he was wearing containing a ringed-bacteria, from him doing the previous extraction (He used a specific name for it, can't remember). I was worried the entire time that I would be killed in a 13 hour long surgery, so I asked if I could receive a second opinion, and waited on signing the papers, then I woke up. The second opinion I was waiting on, would be with my current doctor.

Wtf does this mean guys?

What should I do if I am so fucked by porn watching that when I'm with a real woman I take a long-ass time to get hard and even then it's only 70%? Worse still was some slut was willing to give me head but I couldn't get hard. Pretty embarrasing but how do I fix this? I already stopped watching porn 2 weeks ago but even yesterday I took a while to get hard with some girl.

While I don't consider myself a virgin nor do I believe some ritual can return my v-card, I've become a strong believer of abstinence before marriage. Unfortunately, at that point I've already had sex once and I now deeply regret it. I know I can't demand my future partner to be a virgin without being a hypocrite, but I wonder how women with their virginity intact feel about being with someone without it (assuming he had very few to one sex partner). Do they only want to be with someone who will also save their first time for them, or would they be more accepting of someone like me?

I need to preface my story by saying that I have no mechanical experience and I am extremely incompetent working with this kind of stuff.

I bought a 2007 Honda Rebel almost a year ago and its been giving me tons of problems. The clutch ended up going out and asshole mechanics tried to charge me 400 dollarydoos to fix it. I attempted to fix it myself, breaking two clutch assemblies. I decided today that the bike isnt worth the the time or effort to fix by myself. I installed the latest clutch assembly, but I mustve reassembled it incorrectly because the clutch had no tension. Either way, I was planning on selling the bike after it was fixed to get a brand new one.

I want to upgrade to something more powerful, at least a 500. I like the classic style of the rebel or bikes like that, but I also like sports bikes and I'm not really sure which kind I want to buy

here are my options:
> New Honda Rebel 500
new take on classic style, but after dealing with the bullshit that was the internals of my motorcycle, I dont really want another rebel
>Kawasaki Ninja 650
>Honda CBR 650R (or maybe the CBR 500R)
looks like they only have one color scheme for them though now which sucks
>Yamaha YZF-R6
my buddy has one and swears by it, but I dont want to break the bank
>some kind of cruiser or cafe cruiser but I dont know any in particular

Things that are important for my purchase:
>dont want to break the bank
>motorcycle/manufacturer must be reliable and well made
>has to look good obviously, color options are important

I dont know much about motorcycles, but I love riding, please help

So, I asked my friend out finally. We have been acting like a couple lately. Holding hands, leaning on each other, being physical. We have a very love/hate relationship where we constantly tease and make fun of each other and don't mean it.

Well, I finally bit the bullet and asked if we are more than friends. He asked me if I wanted to be, and I asked him if he wanted to be. He said he doesn't know and isn't good at making "executive decisions" about relationships.

So, I asked him if he wants to go out. He said he needs to think about it, and if he could think about it tomorrow. I of course said yes. Within a couple of mins we were back to acting like we normally do.

Now, in my personal experience, asking to think about = them trying to figure out the best way to say no.

The thing is, I'm apparently his type. He has a p specific list, and I'm like that entire list. And he's bi, so that's all good.

So is all hope lost? Or is it possible he really just needs to think it over? Have you experienced or know of someone needing to think over being asked out and then saying yes? Will I get any sleep tonight? Probably not, but I need to talk about this and no one I know is awake right now.

How do you protect yourself If a filthy pittbull or rotweiler comes out of nowhere and attacks you? I'm always walking through neighborhoods because of my job as a postman. I've heard pepper spray isn't enough. But I'm not allowed to carry a gun, knife or taser on my job.

As a man, I never did understand why other men seem to have trouble with the concept of empathy.

Explain it to me while this Tapir makes me feel inadequate about myself.

I'm 24 and I've never been in a relationship. I'm incredibly unsure about how relationships work and I'm very nervous about them. I've tried internet dating and that's about it. It's not like I'm friendless and I make acquaintances at work but I've never been in anything romantic.

Anyway, I moved across the country back in January, was jobless for 4 months living with roommates I met online. Started working in a restaurant, getting along with coworkers pretty well. Then this girl started working there. She looked young as hell but I found out she was only a year younger than me and I got interested but like I said, I have no experience dating or really getting to know girls so I kept my distance. Then we're at a bar with coworkers and we just start talking. And we both liked it and a few days later we went out with coworkers again. Then she invited me to have tacos with her at her old work place and it was just me and her and we hung out for about 7 hours before we decided to split. And immediately we made plans for another meetup to go visit a bunch of breweries a few days later, this past Saturday. We spent 10 hours just drinking beers and talking to each other, smiling at each other the whole time. And then we hung out again 3 days later and this time she spent the night at my house but just because we knew we probably wouldn't be able to drive. We didn't do anything. The most we've done is hug in a friendly platonic manner.

this is long but I appreciate you reading.

I have a really weird emotional cycling problem. Sometimes, for even weeks at a time, I feel on top of the world, and the rest of the time I feel ego shattered depressed. I don't know when it started, I was first able to talk about it 2 years ago but it might've been going on for sometime before that when I just considered myself depressed.

Despite this I still have ambitions in life, so I try really hard to deal with this. Carefully not overextending myself and telling myself I can maintain this when I'm on a high, and when I'm on a low making sure to say something recognizable as the "happy" me and generally policing myself from fucking my whole life up.

But this time I'm trying especially hard not to let the bad feelings throw me off my game. For weeks now I've been slipping, feeling shaky and beginning to slur my words and screw up conversations, but I can't even tell anyone, even my parents, that I don't believe in myself right now, so I'm around the clock being fake nice to everyone and people are catching on. Co-workers I was establishing relationships with I think are noticing my difficulty socializing, I just try to say the right things until it's over. People who seemed to like me, I'm now avoiding because it's too much pressure to try and live up to the image I built with them.

Oh and my parents? I've always been honest with them, my genuine self, and I think they too are seeing that I'm faking it around them. They do not know I have these problems, they have enough kids and busy enough lives that I've always been able to fly under the radar. I take heavy advantage of them not knowing me very well.

I understand this may seem like a rather obvious mental illness (no I am not seeking treatment) but I'm just wondering what ways you guys think I could interact better with people during this time. I don't need friends but I can't lose having the respect of being a regular person. I know that sounds bad lol.
