hey /adv/ I am java developer from Mexico who has recently gotten a green card, but I find difficult to find a job. any tips?
>>18519393
why are you a java developer
this morning i became a fucking angular developer
last week i became a fucking node and socket developer
how old are you?
I 've been working with java mostly the last 6 years, but I also know other languages like swift and javascript, SQL, been working in banks the last 4 years.
i am 34
tried LinkedIn, but I think I ain't using it right. also, i am willing to move to any part of the US
Im meeting my girlfriends folks for the first time. How do I show them that my intentions are pure and I plan to date with the intention of marraige.
Be nice. Be polite. Offer to help with things. Interact with her family. Etc.

Do you think theyll be ok with their 20 year old daughter dating a guy 10 years older?
>>18519419
Unless said guy is unemployed and doing drugs .. yes
I'm really insecure about my height, and I can't figure out how to solve this.
First, I'm really annoyed that nobody will see me the way I see myself. In my mind I'm gigantic and unnassailable, but in reality I'm a 5'5 manlet. I hate the fact that nobody will ever look at me and be blown away by how huge I am.
Secondly, I hate that every fucking interacrion I have with people for the rest of my life will be so suboptimal. Studies have shown that taller people get more respect automatically, so any time I interact with people I have to catch up for my height disadvantage, and only THEN can I begin making any meaningful progress with other people.
Has anyone had any experience with this? Are there any things that can help me besides getting leg extensions? That's the only solution I can think of at this point.
I'd just live my life. Some people are tall, some are short, some are disabled, some are abled, some have legs, some don't, some have arms, some don't, some and black, some are white, some are hairy, some are bald.
You play with the cards you're dealt.

>You play with the cards you're dealt.
This is the shittiest fucking advice I've ever gotten in my life
dude fuck you if this is bait. I'm 5'5 too and it fucking sucks. I'm 21, balding, manlet, but worst of all I have small hands which means small wrists which means I have the forearms of a girl. Lifting doesn't work, it's just genetics.
Just accept you're never going to make 200k and you'll be happy, and if you're not a handlet like me you'll have plenty of girls to choose from. It sucks but there's still hope. She just has to be shorter than you. I've had to accept I'll never even have that because no girl wants to hold a hand same size / smaller than her own, it creeps her out. So if you're not a handlet shut the fuck up and stop bitching you don't know what this Hell is like.
inb4 5'8 people tell you it's not a big deal
OP ignore those faggots, bear through the pain and hope you get stronger from it
>>18519332
as batshit crazy as it sounds I have thoughts about cutting my arms off. If OP's insecure about his height he has poor mental health AND physical inadequacies, which is the worst thing you can have.
Can i get an alternative for soda which has zero calories, minimal sugar and zero caffeine?
I've wasted thousands of dollars on Vanilla coke. It does have a zero calories but has a lot of sugar and caffeine.
Please respond with alternatives.
Please no water.
Forgot to mention, does anyone also know a good tasting minimal calorie version of starbust fruit chews :S
>>18519309
>>18519316
If there were good alternatives, don't you think we wouldn't have fat people?
I bought a 2 dollar pitcher at Walmart and alternate between crystal light and mixing water with cucumber, lemon, and mint.
I know you said no water, but adding citrus and herbs to it tends to curb my cravings for soda. I drink crystal light when I crave sweet.
I also drink coconut water when I'm out and want to buy something other than soda. It tasted weird like the first 5 times I drank it, but since I make crystal light, lemon water, and coconut water the only things available to me, I've come to like it.
I also allow myself straight, sour 100% grapefruit juice an option (one glass a day) as I said, overpowering citrus seems to curb my cravings for coke.

You went back to her three times, I honestly don't think you'll follow strangers advice online...
In any case, don't take her back. Also move a few towns over and start fresh. Not having a contact for drugs might help.
How do you guys deal with wet dreams (nocturnal emissions)? I'm 18 and still get them and it's annoying.
don't wank so much, don't watch so much pr0n, keep some tissues by the bed and clean that shit up if and when it happens, no big deal.
also try and wake up just before you cum and stop the ejaculation. takes practice but doable.
>>18519321
exactly this but the opposite
>>18519256
Low protein diet and ideally vegetarianism. There's multiple scientist studies that back this up.
Nocturnal emissions are directly a result of too much protein. The amount of protein you need is grossly overestimated by modern nutritionists due to their attachment to eating meat.
So, I'm a seemingly square geeky guy in public but in bed I like to be really rough and dominant. Part of me wants to explore that further. However I don't know where to start.
I know Fetlife might be my best bet but if so what's the best way to get someone's attention or introduce yourself as a newbie? In addition, I've always been interested in "pet play" similar to this video:
https://www.pornhub.com/view_video.php?viewkey=ph591c8533b5971
Is that too advanced right off the bat?
And finally, one of the local night clubs hosts a kink night every Tuesday or so. Would that be a good place to see what it's about? I'm normally pretty shy outside of sex.
Any tips would be appreciated!
>>18519194
How the fuck do you get sex being shy? Are you good looking?
>>18519200
I'm okay looking for a manlet. I get 5s and 6s mostly.
>pet play
>bitch sucking on a bottle
>in a cage
fucking no.
why do you all have to be degenerate doms? why can't you just be traditionally in control in the bedroom with a modern twist? like ffs. all I hear about on here is sadism, pet play, daddy bullshit. like fuck, you make christian grey look like a normal person almost.
the fucking psychology is amazingly disturbing. I'll be the first to admit there's probably people that go "you like to hold her hands back? you pervert" but like, pretending your gf is an animal in a pet crate is some next level disturbed shit. or like getting off on beating the shit out of her, or people getting off on getting their gf's gangbanged, it's seriously disturbing the psychology going on there.
IT'S TIME TO STOP.
I just burnt my hand on a hot pot handle. The pot was tiny, and so was the flame But it was on high for 15-20 minutes before i reached for it, immediately letting go.
I think I have minor second degree burns or severe first degree burns. I have run my hand under cool water for 15 minutes and applied triple antibiotic lotion.
Now it is feeling a little painful to uncomfortable ~45 minutes after the burn. Just stings a little. Bearable. Feels better than earlier. I think I will buy some bandages to cover my hand. What else should I do?
The burns are each under 3 inches, and on my index finger, middle finger, palm area just below my middle and index fingers, and palm area just left of my thumb.

I drink alone a lot. It started off social and now because of outside circumstances I don't have friends so I drink alone. Suffer from diagnosed GAD and depression. Medicated but its not working.
Is there a point to living sober or do I keep getting drunk because it feels good?
Obviously your meds don't work get new ones
>>18519115
What medication are you taking? How does it interact with alcohol?
>>18519251
Prozac, supposed to be decent with alcohol. Just tried 2 weeks sober and it makes 0 difference to drinking every other night to me.
Long story short, I need to get over my best friend.
I'm a dude, my best friend is a girl, she's asexual or something according to her, and doesn't date or bang anybody in my entire time knowing her. I had a crush on her for a while and we went out on one date like half a decade ago, but we stopped it there. It's dawned on me recently that I was subconsciously going along with things in the hopes that when we neared 30 her biological clock would go off and she would suddenly want to get serious. We spend a lot of time together, but we're nearing that age now and I think I've started to realize that I was looking for different things from this than she was. I've had girlfriends over the years, but I've been single for about 2. I have almost no friends anymore besides her, we've both been busy with shit in our lives, and we act like a couple in a lot of ways. It's frustrating, I wish she would change and be interested in those things, but I understand that she isn't and might never be. I have definitely been using her almost as a kind of "girlfriend simulator" I think, though, which basically is a form of emotional masturbation, and it's holding me back from getting my social life back on track and It's not 100% fair to her either. I need to wean myself off this person, but I don't know how to do it, or find the courage.
How do I break off from this kind of a codependency and expand my social life?
pic unrelated
>>18519175
You said it's holding your social life back, but do you have some kind of social circle/friend group?
>>18519186
No, not really. I have other people I talk to, but not much and that's all online. Outside of hanging out with her, I haven't hung out with a friend IRL in about a year more than once or twice.
>>18519191
That makes things more difficult. Is there anyone IRL that maybe you used to hang out with or be friends with that you could hit up who would be willing to start hanging out again and maybe start inviting you to things and introducing you to their friend group?
Does a real blow job which means blowin in the penis force the sperm go back into balls? Does it make penis flaccid again then?
How high are you?
Fun facts: https://newmeridian.wordpress.com/2010/12/18/why-is-it-called-a-blowjob/
TLDR: Yes, blowing slightly is a technique to avoid gagging

I've been texting with this girl who's moving to my area in a few months. Been texting with her since May. Things are pretty hot and heavy... but I don't know her name. I asked a long time ago and she never responded and now I'm trapped. What the fuck do I do. She has an OkCupid (inb5 cuck), and I tried to catfish her with 3 chad profiles to give me her name, but she doesn't respond. HELP. HOW DO I GET HER TO TEXT HER NAME WITHOUT IT BEING OBVIOUS
How do you have her number but not her name? How does that work at all?
>>18519055
"yo baby, how do coworkers usually call you at work?"
>>18519055
What name do you have her contact info saved as?
ok /adv/ I'm having trouble here just getting a simple job. problem is that it's my first and I've never had a paid job before. I've done volunteer work in the past but I haven't received any responses after applying to several places. what am I doing wrong? I think my resume is fine personally. should I walk into a store and ask rather than online?
>>18519036
Do you follow up on your applications? Also where do you live? If it's somewhere where it's summer, all summer jobs will have filled up by now.
>>18519040
no, what's a good amount of time between submitting it and calling them? what do I say? I can work longer than summer anyway
>>18519036
A few things from someone who has been down your road:
1. Did you list your volunteer work on your resume? If you have no work history, do that, and make sure you have an excuse (real or not) to make your lack of work history sound enriching (even just lie and say you were self employed)
2. Avoid retail unless there's literally no other options near you, and even then only if you have some kind of time requirement that forces you to have off certain days, like going to college etc. You cannot make a career out of retail unless you have a very specific mindset. It's fine if you just need to pile up some money, but it IS a dead end for 99% of people in it, and it can completely fuck your life up. The lack of upward mobility, the soul-sucking nature of dealing with the general public, the fake veneer on everything, weird hours making it difficult to have a social life or form the habits that make for a successful life, it takes a special kind of person to succeed in that environment. You can be stuck in this retail whirlpool of being too drained to get out of retail, and if you're looking for benefit or full time, it's really difficult to get positions because of ACA. Not to get political, but when you force retailers to provide insurance for their full-time employees, they do whatever they can to avoid hiring full-time employees. So unless you have an anime protagonist level of willpower or you want to be in your late 20's and forced to work multiple retail jobs at once to scrape past the legal poverty line, I would definitely not recommend retail. Work road construction, or in an office somewhere, or work in a factory/warehouse.
Best of luck OP, check monster in your area for some jobs that are entry level but not retail.
I'm just gonna accept the fact that i'll die alone. I'll keep working and getting ahead in my career and going to the gym, but as an ugly short dude of an unsexy race I'm just going to accept that I'm not meant for anyone.
I'll just make money, play games, and watch porn. That's not too bad of a life is it?
Couldn't get her if I tried.
Every man dies alone.
I have a chaste relationship with my fiance because we're waiting for marriage. People call us lovers because we are engaged. Is it right to call 2 people who aren't having sex Lovers?
Does it matter at all in any conceivable way? I'm going to call you a tea farmer. Does this mean you are going to start farming tea?
Enjoy your tea farm Anon. Send me some of the autumn harvest.
>>18518960
Yes, it is. If you are getting engaged and are in love, then you are lovers. Does this bother you or something?
>>18518981
I thought lovers means 2 people having sex?
