Salutations dear /adv/ocates!
I have an interest in figuring out my biological ancestry. I don't plan to use it to snowflake online and claim any undeserved recognition for being [ethnicity], don't worry.
What I worry about though is the comparable reliability. I did some superficial researching about 23andMe, and there's been a few negative articles about its section of hereditary illnesses and genetic mutations. Now I was thinking of using 23andMe because they offered this combi-package with both ancestry and mutations so it wasn't "just" for shits and giggles but maybe actually give me some insight into my health.
Has anybody here some actual experience with the service? Can anyone here maybe recommend a different service?
I am living in Switzerland, if that helps.

What should I do for my birthday? For the past 12 years, I've had some variation of a big party.
But over the past year I've lost a couple of close friends, and the friends I have left are really all people that don't know each other very well. I'm worried that if I tried to have a bunch of people out to a bar, only a few would show and it would be embarrassing. I'm turning 31. What do most people do for their birthday at my age?

A party in which most people don't know each other can be the best kind. There's lots of automatic chat subjects as they get to know each other, and surprising connections can result.
>tfw 21 year old, never had a job because disabled (mental/developmental illness)
>mom's friend arrives with her 30 year daughter from Russia
>the daughter has a job (she makes jewelry for a living)
>offers me to make an online store to sell the jewelry
>offers to split profits
>when they depart, my mom opposes any business deals with her
>also forbids any contact
>she also starts ignoring her friend
Please explain what the motives of each person were to an autistic retard lile me.

Your mom wants you to be a worthless NEET forever.

She doesn't think they can be trusted.

Sounds like your mom has the mental illness, get a job and move out of home.

I'm nervous and I need some help. My friend got held back a semester in nursing school and she's pissed at me for no good reason. She's a very vindictive and angry woman. I have a flip phone in my uncles name and I'm afraid she might try and ruin me with any incriminating or seemingly incriminating texts. The students and professors know about my flip phone, how can I protect myself?

You're not giving us the full context so I don't see how you expect anyone to give you advice.
How are the texts incriminating? Why would you send them to her if you knew her personality?
If they're under your uncles name why would you worry about it being traced back you?

What did you do to her that she blames you for her failure?

>have nice social life in university
>all friends leave the state after grad
>move to small town for work because pay is great
>no young people in the town
>men at work are all old or annoying
>women at work are all taken, every single one
>no friends no gf
>haven't spoken to anyone irl outside of work and family in over a year
>isolation induced depression fully sets in
>stopped lifting, stopped piano, only go to work play video games and drink alone
>decided fuck this I need to move asap
>never lived outside of this state so no real preference
>all else being equal I might as well move to where my romantic prospects are right
>in Uni was good friends with this girl, call her C
>very compatible, wife material, friends already
>we would hook up and be romantic but knew she was moving away so never got together
>told her I want to move and asked how she'd feel if I moved up to her
>she said yeah man let's date I'm down
>ever since then she's been pretty distant and acting weird
>seems like she's nervous, having second thoughts or just isn't into me anymore
>when I ask her she just says it's from being really busy at work
>meanwhile start talking to old prospect from Uni girl S
>she's clearly into me sexually and romantically
>don't know her very well but she seems worth dating, potential wife material
So now I have to decide, do I move to girl S or girl C? C is better, there's no denying that, but am I going to go across the country only to find I've been cucked or that she's changed her mind? Meanwhile S has actively been into me for 2 years but due to timing nothing ever happened. Both cities are about the same preference to me. I just don't know bros. If I move to S and then find out C really did want me there, she's going to be pissed too and wonder why I told her I was headed her way and then changed last minute.

best guess would be trying out S, as C seems to have made up her mind. But if you don't spend all your money on this, if all of it doesnt work out, just move to the next big city were you get a job and find a girl there, there are enough out there. You are desireable to a few girls so you will never be unwillingly single for a long time anymore
>>
>>18561885
Why the fuck would you move for a girl?
>>
>>18561994
I'm not moving for a girl, I'm moving anyway. The people I know there are the only thing that would make me choose one city over another, they're otherwise all the same to me
Woke up today and checked the calandar, I normally glance at the calendar but this morning I was shocked to notice its almost august but none the less it made me hmm for a second and I went off to work
Now when I got to work my coworker was stressed about how fast time is moving like this guy is a normie to the t, but he was ranting about how its almost august and how quickly the year went
I feel time is paranormal now

How do I feel optimistic about romantic prospects? Not that my chances are good but my soul crushing inner pessimism just makes it worse.

I can't decide which university to go to for a master's. The program should be two years, but 40% chance it will be longer.
University 1:
+Program (as advertised) is exactly what I want
+Program is in my native language
-I don't like the city it is in (high rent, stressful)
-University is very big
University 2:
-Program is not quite focused on what I want
-Program is in a foreign language (I am good with the language, but not perfect)
+City seems perfect, I would probably live there the rest of my life if I got the right job
+University is much smaller and ranked higher by students for quality, also higher endowment
What do you think? How important is it that the program is in the specific field I want vs. living situation for 2-3 years?

You're obviously not American. In the US, you appky to grad schools in the winter and ask for financial assistance. In early spring you get acceptance letters with fellowship/TAship offers, and you take whichever offers you the most money, because they actually want you and will work with you on research.
>>
Quality over quantity and day of the week.
Also it doesn't matter if the course is not exactly what you are looking for, as long as your goal is not science, because you will have to learn everythign from scretch for your job anyways.
Also gives you a better perspective for networking in that area so you can lend a job there and spend the rest of your life there.

If there are true chances of finding a work, go to the second one. It is usually better to make contacts and know the job market in advance.

sounds like it's time for you to initiate some job search on your own
can't blame your mum for wanting to get you to grow up (depends a little on your age though)
also, I am pretty sure that they're not allowed to share your medical record with anyone just like that, if needed, make her sign something so that she won't tell your mum?
>>
trust your mother, ask her for help, before things spin out of control.
Because if you are a public disgrace to her like what you seem to be heading to, she will kill you with her bare hands.
If she doesnt want to help her kid, prepare for beeing homeless and look up what you can do then, maybe ask her to receive post at the old address, so you can start a job with that and not have to go through homeless programs for a post address.
>>
>>18561791
She probably already knows you have a drug problem, hence why she wants to kick you out.
Just do it.
Why do girls call me mean when i'm just bantering with them? Some of them seem to legitimately get in their feels as well even though i'm just fucking around.

girls don't usually banter the way guys do
its become more frequent these days, but there are still a lot of girls who aren't used to this
>>
>>18561762
its not the banter and teasing you just have to pull some of your punches with women. Like, she has hairy arms, a guy you'd call him a fucking ape, a girl you hold your arm next to hers and not say goddamn.

How can I stop loving someone? I fell in love with one of my friends. It was fun at first, and I was planning on asking her out. But then I learnt that she was sort of seeing someone already. So I want to either stop loving her, or at least bury my feelings deep enough that we can continue being friends. Because she is a really a good friend, I don't want to lose her by being an idiot.
I imagine someone will suggest finding someone else. This is very difficult because I live in a small town and there isn't anyone else I'm really interested in, otherwise I would have done this immediately.

What you feel isn't love, anon. Love is mutual and reinforced by reciprocation. You haven't even experienced sexual pleasure with her, so you don't even have reinforcement from oxytocin or her scent. You certainly haven't experienced her love. Just remind yourself of how pathetic you are for feeling this way about your friend who doesn't feel anything for you while she gets Chad's dick deeper in her pussy than you could ever reach. Were you really dreaming of kissing those lips that were sliding up and down Chad's shaft as she blew him last night? Forget her, if you don't like tasting Chad's cum when you kiss her and she doesn't kiss you back. She's gone, move on.

Not OP but in a similar position
>>18561850
>What you feel isn't love
You know what he means. Infatuation, oneitis, whatever.
>Just remind yourself of how pathetic you are
Don't need a reminder mang
>That shit about tasting Chad's cum
I may not know her scent but at least I know she brushes her teeth
>She's gone, move on.
Stellar advice right there, I bet OP never thought of that
>>18561742
If dating someone else is out of the question, then you got two options
1: Keep getting to know her as a friend, but do you absolute hardest to find flaws. Reach if you have to (For me, I had reasons like "she has an annoying dad" and "he likes Big Bang Theory" to convince myself a relationship wasn't gonna work. Pathetic, I know, but its been working)
That being said
>she was sort of seeing someone
That sounds like the opposite of an engagement. You know more than I do about her, but you don't have to give up so easily.
But finding someone else really is the best way of getting over someone. Unless your town has a population of 15, you would be surprised by some of the women you may have been unintentionally ignoring. Online is also an option
>>
>>18561996
Just as a clarifier, I meant to say "SHE likes Big Bang Theory." Wasn't referring to the dad, I'm not THAT pathetic

What do, /adv/? I don’t want to wreck any friendships but I dunno how much longer I can bottle up the way I feel about her

Hello, six months ago i started working for my university's formula SAE team, it was very hard work (especially since it is unpaid), sometimes we would start at 8 am and end the day at 10pm, but the excitement about working on a race car made it worth the hassle. I also liked getting to know a lot of new people and I was rewarded for my hard work by being able to go to all the races of the season (with paid hotels and trip). This is where the good part ends, Unfortunately, i am addicted to benzos for sleeping and social anxiety, and didn't have the chance to restock before departing for the first race, so from the second day onward i was on full on withdrawal. Needless to say i didn't rally sleep more than a hour per night, was a paranoid, anxious moron during the day and overall pretty much useless. I still tried my best but in that state i couldn't really do anything. After a while i became the end of every joke, even during the celebrations (we ended up 3rd overall), and started to feel like i don't belong in that group. Those seriously were the worst 5 days in my life and now i'm thinking of abandoning ship. I hate being seen in such a sorry state but I would hate even more being unable to fix this whole situation, but i seriously don't have any strength to go to the next race (1st of august) or work on the car. What irks me the most is that if i give up now, i'm just throwing away six months of my life, six months of sacrifices for nothing...
Sorry for the rant, should I try fixing this mess or just stop giving a fuck and bail?

In every great story there's a point where the main character doubts himself. He looks inwards and subconsciously thinks, "is this worth it?"
If you have to ask yourself that question, it's always worth it.

Quit the drugs you fuck up.
Quite the team too. They dont need you , you are replaceable no matter what they say or you think.
Fuck up.
