Hey /adv/, I was hoping I could get some advice. I'm overweight, and I have been so for a few years now. I'm looking to lose 20-30 pounds as soon as possible.
Know of any good options? Does Nutrisystem work? Any suggested diet plans?
Soylent, protein bars, and replace all sweeteners with IMO syrup. Literally nothing else unless you want to add steamed broccoli or fresh spinach for some greens (no dressings or sauces). Shoot for 1200-1600 calories per day depending on how overweight you are. Don't lose weight too fast.
>>18602459
Thanks, anon. I'll be doing some research here soon.
>>18602444
lift also. if you don't have weights do body weight exercises.
I'm 18
Is there anyway I can get into the stock market at this age, or do I have to wait until I'm 21 ?
Also,
pursuing an education is probably the best route to follow, right ?
Problem is I have no idea what I'd want to major in, I'm thinking anything that puts me on a decent payroll and isn't too demanding of my time.
This is the age to start paving my way to success, but I feel so lost
Any help or feedback from someone who's been in my shoes ?
Thanks
>>18602398
No. The fucking stock market. Oh man you seem disillusioned already. Stock market is literally gambling with your money so thats fucking stupid unless you have a lot of capital to throw around.
Just fucking work a full time job and save money thats it. Give yourself some more time to grow up. Dont dive into something without and i mean without years of planning because shit can change on a dime.

Not necessarily. Depends on what you want to do versus job availability
Word of advice: have your school paid for instead of taking out loans.
Don't think about the stock market. You don't have any money so you can't make money on the stock market.
Get a skill that will allow you to contribute to the economy. When choosing your major, always ask the question: "What do people with this major contribute to the economy?" If you do that, you have a good chance of getting a good, high-paying job.
No, it looks like callousing from having poor technique when using a mouse, formed from planting your wrist down on that point and moving the mouse with your hand/fingers rather than moving your whole arm.
>>18602357
ringworm will be raised on the outside IIRC. I agree with the other anon, looks like you're just putting your wrist down in a weird spot.
i have had it for awhile now
the spot is usually covered by my wristwatch, normally
>Champ, your mother and I think it's time you went outside and got a job. You play way to much video games cooped up in your room. Get dressed and meet me in the car. I'm driving you to find work, and we won't turn back until someone hires you on the spot.
>You've been spending too much time inside, so you might as well meet people, make some money on your own, and live a normal life. You can buy a new computer once you get your first paycheck and maybe some games to play with friends that you can invite over.
>Well here we are at the first store. It's a game stop so I think you'll fit in nicely here. I heard they even give in-store credit and discounts if you an employee so go out there and ask for a job
>And remember it's as simple as walking into the place, speaking with the manager, giving him a firm handshake, and telling him you wanna work there. No excuses, Champ. Winners never quit.
Do you have experiences with Baby Boomer parents or relatives who REFUSE to believe getting a job is getting harder nowadays? And when you tell them "they only take online applications online" they really think you're making up excuses.
I went through that at 16 too. They might just want to see you doing something, like some semblance of having a life. So getting an education, having a career plan and avoiding them by doing outdoor activities instead of seeing them might work just fine.
> play with friends that you can invite over.
Now this makes it sound like you're 12.
>>18602352
It's actually a pasta, I didn''t wrote it, but it makes me think this is a very good discussion point, especially the old mindset of "just ask to the manager to hire you".
At least where I leave that's no longer a valid thing, they ask for so many qualifications and years of experience...
After years of not finding a job after university I said "Fuck it" and now run my own business, but it's a shame I'm the exception and not the rule and there's still friends and acquintances struggling.
Yep. I even live in an old fashoned town, and I've done what they said to do multiple times. I showed up physically at the place, I shook the managers/head department guys head, I filled out the aplication right in front of their faces, but I still can't get hired. I even get interviews half the time and I never get call backs. But in a way I also see it as karma for all the times I fucked up cause I had so many opportunities for other jobs, but I always punked out on them at the last minute.
All I really want is an administrative job, but admin jobs are seen as female work, so I don't even know why I bother showing up for them.
I can't get into sex with women unless they're hookers.
>Sex with regular women
Cobstantly have to worry about performing, feel like I owe her something, etc. Afraid of what she could do to my personal life
>Sex with hookers
You just pay and do what you want. You and her both clearly understand the transaction occuring. Money is well worth the lack of strings attached
Is this a natural way to feel?
>>18602298
yes
>>18602298
You sound like you have numerous social and emotional issues that I would not even attempt to unpack, go to a therapist and talk this stuff out.
>>18602298
>Afraid of what she could do to my personal life
if you take care of her, you don't need to worry.
Where can someone in The Greater Toronto Area(Canada Ontario) get a case of vanilla coke or even Dr Pepper with real sugar?
Preferably 12x355ml
Have you tried just ordering it online?
>>18602294
It tastes exactly the same. Why bother?
Still have to cross the border for that. You can lock down vanilla coke in some novelty stores, but the only real place to get it regularly would be from the Coca Cola Freestyle machines, and some 7/11 locations from the fountains.
Have been reviewing my grade for my university course. But this grading scale is confusing.
Do I add up the points I earned? Or are some assignments worth more than others?
>>18602273
Before some says. I have emailed the professor and have not received a response.
>>18602273
it looks like you have 100% of the final grade so far
there is a key right there telling you what that means
>>18602287
That's just a key. Doesn't reflect my actual grades.
Is it weird to message a professor that I haven't talked to in a few years and ask them to be a reference on my resume?
I've got no direction, but have a general area of things I want to just apply for, just to see if I can get something. The references are the last and final piece I need for my resume to be complete, but I'm having trouble finding good ones.
>>18602267
Does it matter if it's weird? You need references, don't you?
>>18602267
No do it.
>he wont remember you anyway
>they wont check the reference anyway
Just push your luck.
>>18602272
Yeah, I guess so. I was all ready to do it, but then I googled some stuff and it made it sound like professors get offended at people messaging them out of the blue and stuff.
Also, I'm nervous about if I'm asked about what specifically I'm going to apply for, since my answer is basically "I dunno lol, anything".
I'm going to probably send it by tonight, but I just wanted to get some outsider perspectives first.
Is this a good resume? How should a resume be or look like to maximize my chances ?
Everything I read here and there seems to be contradicted by another information.
>>18602222
It's pretty awful actually
>>18602222
dunno, i can't read gay
>>18602222
tous vos experience est dans un ans. j'ai le meme problem. c'est parce que je suis completer le universitaire en printemps. aussi, le designe de la page est un peu n'attrayante pas.
aussi, avez-vous un frere qui s'appele Shaun?
So, two things just happened on the same day that have caused me a severe moral contradiction.
First, i tell my gf of two years that i need some time alone for a while. I have not told her for definite yet but by that i mean we are on a break of sorts. I'm working up to telling her soon.
Second, my mother called me and, completely unaware of the previous situation, told me she'd booked me a flight and a room to Majorca in/near Spain for my 24th birthday. I have not left my country in 10 years.
One of the main reasons for this "break" is our complete lack of sexual chemistry. In other words, just a shitty sex life.
I'd like to say I'd have an okay chance with some girls on holiday, and holy fuck am i desperate to destroy some poor girl and get a half decent blowjob for once.
So, yeah. Im completely 50/50 what to do. Ive always been loyal all my life, and this is the first time Ive ever been on a break. I want to keep my integrity and not hurt her, but the primal instinct to fuck around is too much.
>TLDR: I have a shitty relationship but want to bang spanish birds. Wut do?
Also, can you get weed easy enough in Spain?
>>18602140
find a nigger and he'll sell you weed, that easy.
If you say you're on a "break" specifically to her, you can bet your ass she's going to at least attempt to have sexual or emotional relations with another dude, so with that in mind, fuck a Spanish broad homie
>>18602175
We broke up for 2 months about 5 months back. Within a week she was already on another guys dick. Only once mind you... but still, dick move.
This morning I woke up with my third UTI in the last year.
I am a man.
What do you reckon this means?
Stop banging sloots
Varg.jpg
Either this
>>18602243
Or it's recurring and you just aren't dealing with it properly.
UTI medicine has a grace period of several days after symptoms are gone. Double that grace period of your nearest treatment.
Next time ask your doctor.
>>18602100
Sex might be too rough. Bruising your urethra can cause symptoms.
Also if your the kinda guy who likes to stick things in his peehole then stop that you filthy degenerate.
Or it could be that you haven't been using your antibiotics properly.
Friend of mine is getting death threats from someone from Mexico. We're in the US.
This dude is some sort of creepy stalker, like my friend had a picture of himself with his girlfriend and this guy decided he was going to fuck with them.
He calls them every day, emails them, sends them photos from their private facebook and twitter, and tries to get them fired from their job by calling in complaints.
Seeing as he's from another country, is there anything that can be done about this?
I would call the police regardless. It's criminal harassment. They might not be able to do anything but it's worth a shot.
I can't imagine anyone will care, police or otherwise
>>18602073
Remember it is so easy to get away with murder in Mexico. So if ya want to settle it go there. Problem solved.
I'm trying to get rid of my acne. I've heard that apple cider vinegar helps dissolve dead skin and keeps pores open, but that it also causes burns. However, I heard the burns can be mitigated with coconut oil. Should I try this?
Lol if you apply coconut oil to your face it will clog your pores man. See a dermatologist instead of wasting your time with housewife methods like that.
>>18601949
Go to a dermatologist. They will fix your face.
>>18601949
I'd switch to tea tree oil
My girlfriend and I have sex pretty regularly, once or twice a day. A few weeks ago during sex I got up and wanted to take her to the bed, but she was nonresponsive, and then became upset. I sat with her until she was feeling better and then took her to bed and went to sleep.
We hadn't done anything out of the ordinary, other than the sex lasting longer than normal and myself being a little rougher than usual. She told me that this wasn't the cause.
She'd told me before that she sometimes disassociates during sex, (PTSD) and that it's nothing for me to upset myself over because it isn't my fault that it's happening. I know that it isn't my fault but it still made me upset, because I didn't know what to do to console her or if there was anything to be done.
She told me not to worry about it, but I do want to know what's best to do in case it happens again. When it happened I just kept close to her, didn't touch her (she asked for me to take my hand off of her), and just stayed quiet and waited.
Do any of you have experience with dealing with this or have these episodes yourself? I know this is a really nuanced situation but I'd like to get some general advice other than what I know already.
>>18601935
So you've been pounding away with no clue she zones out? I'm sure you make her feel like an inanimate sex doll. Anyway, I've had bf's like you before but they don't remain my bf long.
>>18601984
No usually we have pretty normal sex, she enjoys it and makes it known; this has happened one time. Here to criticize or do you have advice?
>>18601984
OP:: she says i shouldn't worry but i do, help.
>hurr durr you are a the bad guy
Are you for real? Did you even read that she just told him that.
How long will these break up feelings last?
>Can barely sleep.
>Can't eat
>Cry until I throw up
>Losing weight rapidly
>Feel like literal shit.
>No interest in anything.
What do?
its been 2.5 years and stlil cantt sleep until 4 am bacause of the feels.
RIP life as you once knew is over
>>18601933
I really don't see myself ever being with anyone else again either. He was the only person I ever really fell for.
Why live?
>>18601933
>>18601947
Both of you, what has been your lifestyle since the breakup? Do you spend a lot of time dwelling on it? Do you check up on the exes, maybe stalk their facebook or still talk to them as friends? Do you meet several new people each year or has your social circle remained fairly fixed?
