Today I lost a friend, who was my colleague aswell. He was a friend before he became my colleague.
> Friend slowly breaks contact with me by never initiating contact by himself
> Friend admits to having stopped masturbating for it is no good
> Improves himself by not or rarely drinking beer (he was addicted more or less)
> Friend starts telling slowly he is a believer in some "God" (fyi: he disliked any kind of religion)
> Jewish cooking books were delivered at work.. for him
> Says he's neither Jewish nor Christian, doesn't like to talk about his believes
> Notice he wears long sleeve clothes during summer, start asking questions in a friendly manner
> Finally get him to talk about his believe, it's something in between Christianity and Jewish, but all churches/both are wrong
> 30 days ago "Hey, I am quiting this job. In 30 days I'll be gone." Why? "No real reason, I just don't want to do this work for the rest of my life". I tried to pry more from him, but he doesn't want to talk about it.
Today was his last day. I lost a friend long ago, today I lost a colleague. I'm afraid he will lose himself too. He is very easily influenced.
TLDR; my buddy is in a sect and I noticed it way too late
Today I asked him if it's OK to call him some time, he said that's OK. So I hope he will pick up the phone, and I can come over. But if that happens, what do I do?

What do I do? Nothing really. He is a grown man who is not under the influence of drugs and is making a decision based on his own ideas on what is right and wrong. Therefore all you can do is let him live his life.
You aren't his parent anon but a friend. I am sure you already gave him advice and he brushed it aside, so not much else to do.

Hey /adv/. I need some help here.
I just picked up two part time jobs in order to get some steady income and crawl my way out of NEET-dom.
I enjoy one of them immensely. I mainly unload freight trucks, organize stock in the back warehouse room, and stock shelves / manage product. It's perfect because I don't have to deal with customers that often, which is a skill I do not possess. I can deal with people under any other circumstances, but for some reason it is extremely difficult for me to deal with customers in the service industry. Especially when it is a fast paced environment and I'm on a register with ten other people lined up to order. I tend to make mistakes and panic.
Unfortunately, that is exactly what I do at my other job. I've only been at this restaurant for a week but already I get the feeling my co-workers don't like me (I've heard them talk behind my back and crack jokes about me), I'm bad at working the register (not really a surprise), and I'm sensing an immediate termination of my employment coming soon.
At the stocking / freight job, everyone is extremely friendly and of course we make jokes about each other, but they're all in good nature. However, I don't get many hours at the stocking / freight job. They've talked about giving me more hours though because they've been saying I'm excellent at the job, especially considering it's my first job.
But I don't want to stick around this restaurant. It stresses me out just getting close to it. I get bad vibes from that place. Everyone there is not chill at all. I've already begun seeking a new job to fill its place, and I've already set up an interview and applied to multiple other places who need stockers and freight people (since now I know that I'm good at that).
Should I just quit this restaurant job right now? I'm obviously not cut out for fast paced work in the food service industry, and it seems like I'm just wasting everyone's time by working there.

If you only got the jobs for the income and have no ties to it otherwise and you feel it's causing more misery than the income it provides is compensating for then yeah you should leave it, especially if it means freeing up more hours to work a job you enjoy.

Hello /adv/,
I'm in the process of enlisting in the US Air Force and was wondering what jobs you would recommend.
I scored a 95 on my ASVAB and want to arrange to take the EDPT once I swear in.
Currently looking at intel jobs.

This special ability allows you to see the past such as how many times this universe has reset. At the end of time space get destroyed so all that is left is gravity. Gravity crushes everything into a single point until the big bang happens again, that's a called a reset.
I'm here to tell you how to get Pastsight. All you have to do is find a hypnotist and tell him that you need a connection between your conscious and unconscious part of your brain. If that doesn't work then tell him you need a strong connection between your conscious and unconscious part of your brain. I don't have time to find the right name for your conscious and unconscious part of your brain.
Make sure you have some multivitamins and a bottle of milk when you visit the hypnotist. You can even bring a box of cereal and a carton of milk. You must bring these items because connecting your conscious and unconscious uses a lot of nutrients. You can die from nutrient depletion.

I should have added that 'Pastsight' is technically futuresight since you remember everything you did in past resets and every decision you ever made. You can even make the limit of technology such as planet mind control arrays placed on every planet in this universe.

I've had a lot of emotional trauma and suffer from anxiety, which I do not feel I handle badly. I have been medicated and attended therapy in the past. I feel stable but I still suffer minor anxiety.
I got into a relationship with a guy who at first seemed to be understanding and reassuring but with time he has become really resentful towards things, which leaves me wondering often if I'm sabotaging the relationship or if he's being unkind about it. He seems to get really mad at me if I cry over something insensitive he has said or if I'm feeling anxious over things, sometimes he's mad over things that don't directly impact him too. It feels petty to mention, but an example is recently we were playing a game and he told me to speak on microphone to the team (we tend to speak on Discord separately while playing), he knows I feel really anxious and shy over doing this, but I explained I feel anxious about it and apologised. It resulted in him being in a really bad mood and calling me stupid for it, I was a little upset by this so I expressed that I felt he should be more supportive, he then started calling me a retarded western liberal that needed life support to function and that I was a weak person.
It has become more frequent that when I express I'm anxious or upset, he ends up really angry at me. I would understand a little more if I was more aggressive, but I always tend to resolve things maturely and cater to his feelings also. He told me that when I'm upset over things, it pushes him away, so I took a step back, but today I asked if he was busy because I just came back from vacation and he was hardly responding to me and hardly interested, he became very hostile about it and claimed I was forcing him to respond, express feelings and emotions, bringing up an issue that wasn't even related. He then dropped this:

Break up. Congratulations, your first bf is confirmed for asshole. Dont worry, almost nobody picks their life time partner on first try.
Real bf will either soothe you, let you cry without interruptions or simply leave you alone a bit until you manage to stabilize yourself.
Btw mentally ill people tend to pick also mentally ill people as partners. Try choosing better next time. And no, he isnt the only boy on earth who finds you fancy. That is just your insecurity speaking.
Break up, eat some chocolade and find better bf or fix your problems before getting new one. Good luck!

There's a girl at work I think is into me, I don't want a relationship but I want to do her. How do I signal this in a way that isn't too blatant and that can't be misinterpreted as looking for something serious? I don't want to lead her on, just fuck her senseless.

So, I sold this woman a 2010 VW Golf around 3 months ago.
she's done around 3000 miles in it since.
she contacted me at first claiming that the car mileage was wrong and that the car had been in a serious accident.
I know it hasn't I HPI check and also check all mileage against the national mileage register so the mileage was warranted. I explained this to her and now she has had a solicitor send me a letter claiming for a full refund, the flight she took to collect the car, fuel and all kind of other expenses.
The car is perfectly fine, the inspection she had done on the car only shows cosmetic damage and I made her fully aware the car had some damage to it on the rear and shown her extra photos before she came to view and collect/pay for the car.
She had every chance to inspect it before she paid and drove it away.
How do I respond to the solicitor letter, can i respond myself? am i fucked? do i need to pay a solicitor to respond?
I would really appreciate any advice, i'm trying to run an honest business and I really don't know what to do about this.

>but i cant keep conversition with her if she doesnt help
no one can. conversation is two people (At least) talking.
like the other anon said ask questions about her. but dont stop there.
if you say 'whats your favorite color?
and she says
>blue
you don't just move on. you pick at that. you ask why? most people dont think about WHY its their favorite color but once they do they often have a story that goes with it. and from that story you can find even more things.
>well now that I think about it growing up my favorite color was red, but i had a friend whos favorite color was blue, and when she moved away, she left a blue shirt. and since then i just kinda liked blue, I guess it reminds me of her.
to which you can say
>oh, why did she move? how old were you? what did you guys do for fun?
and thats how you get into someones childhood.

Sprained my ankle while playing football literally 20 minutes ago.
How to minimize recovery time? It's kinda swollen, but doesn't hurt yet. I tried walking, and I felt no pain.
I've got a hot date in 2 days, and I don't want to walk like a cripple.

This will sound very lame, but if you want to preserve your ability to walk and knees, dont do football. Try something less agrressive. Swimming?

Hey /adv/
tldr; assaulted on vacation, now feels uneasy all the time
Some months ago on vacation I was assaulted by a literally crazy person. He was a lot bigger and stronger than me, grabbed me by my jacket with one hand, Jesus flyers in the other, and started groaning at me. I very much doubt he was on drugs. He seemed like he really wanted to communicate something to me but just couldn't speak any human language, just various groans.
After about three minutes of me trying to calm him down and get him to let go of my jacket, he suddenly headbutts me, splitting my lip. I have no idea what to do. It doesn't seem like he really wants to hurt me as he still holding on to his Jesus flyers with one hand and he only gave me that one headbutt. A group of guys passing by saw what was going on and came over and succeeded in getting him to let me go. They seemed to know him, apologizing on his behalf.
Anyway, while the split lip wasn't really anything, I still find that the incident has effected me. Just how some guy, with a grab of his fist, took complete control of my life, it's something I've never tried before and now I just feel uneasy about being alone.
I'm sure some of you have experienced much worse, how do you deal with it?
Pic related, he looked kind of Michael Peña.

I once got jumped by some group of Vietnamese gangsters for no reason (and I mean NO reason), and they beat me up (luckily nothing serious - split lip and bruises and stuff). But it messed with me mentally. I always got picked on growing up and I saw that when I got jumped they probably thought "this one will be easy and weak." I got over it, though. The thing is, most people actually avoid fights their whole life - and people who get into martial arts usually waste a ton of time training for something that will never ever happen. Most likely something like that will never happen to you again. The best thing is be aware of your surroundings. When I got jumped, I was in a bad area and wasn't avoiding the gangsters because I didn't wanna judge a book by its cover. Well, I say go ahead and judge now. Also when they attacked me I tried to fight back. That was dumb. How am I gonna fight 5 guys? I should have just ran! In your case, if you analyze things you'd probably just come up with this: I shouldn't have let that guy get close to me, I should have ran when he approached me, when he grabbed my jacket I should have kicked his nuts or fought harder to pull away from him. Anyway most likely you'll be ok in the future

so... Girl I know keeps breaking up with her boyfriend. She seems to break up with him every other month for a week or two. She broke up with him again right when summer started. She added him back the other day then removed him and then added him back today. She seems to be pretty fake and copy memes and other people constantly.says what she thinks people wanna hear etc rather than saying things that she means. Wtf is wrong with her? I've known her on and off for 7 years. She refuses to block me and every now and then if she sees me outside yells at me from a far or stares at me etc. I'm trying to forget about her. She's half my age lol which is why she doesn't want to talk to me.

How to you enter a relationship with a real female where you never have to meet irl and aren't necessarily dating but sometimes receive/exchange nudes WITHOUT paying?
I've successfully set this up only once before by total accident but she only talks once in a while
I hate dating, don't have money, but need to jerk off and pron gets boring

None of this will end well. If a girl is sending a stranger nudes, she is a whore, has terrible values, and is not relationship material. Do not be this desperate in wanting to start a relationship with someone like this.
Also, don't do this yourself if you want someone to value you as a person who is relationship material. Get your house in order, fix and work on yourself first, then enter a relationship as an adult who has their shit figured out.
>>
>>18562161
you misunderstand me completely friend, I do not want a relationship in the context you were using, like a girlfriend. I hate the work you have to put into dating
I don't even just wanna hook up, I mean it would be nice but most of the time it leads to the girl wanting to eventually date. Plus I really hate traveling and don't wanna risk getting random whore diseases.
I literally just want to get naked pictures from girls who aren't doing it for a living, who are just genuinely slutty. Just once in a while. And I know they're out there, I mean I've been to /soc/

I'll pay you to leave and never come back.
