Can someone recommend a decent converter program for Windows?
I used FormatFactory all my life but it's pretty filled with ads and I was wondering if there was something better or if I should just keep using this
Convert from what to what?
>>18503656
Nothing in particular, but usually Audio and Video files as if I need to reduce the size of an audio file (e.g. WAV>MP3) or just transcode videos because Sony Vegas doesn't support the file format (even with Mega Codec Pack installed)
>>18503725
Well, it does depend on the format. I use vidcoder to encode from DVD's
What can I do to overcome self-loathing? All the advice I can find says some variation on "focus on the positive". I can't think of anything positive to focus on. Nor do I have nay friends to ask.
Any suggestions? Otherwise I'm pretty much just waiting to die like i already have inside.
>>18503530
>I can't think of anything positive
That is the negative mind set talking.
Actually try to think positive or die in self loathing.
>>18503558
I've tried, on and off, for years. I got nothing. At this point I'm not even sure what positive looks like.
>>18503586
I had severe depression growing up. I got fucking pissed about it and decided to do something about it. I literally just said positive and happy over and over in my head. It was exhausting but I didn't want to feel the pain of nothingness anymore. Another thing you can do is everytime you think something negative immediately spin it in a way that looks positive. Example I just broke up with my gf. I think, no will ever want to be with me, I'll be alone forever. Positive spin. "Fuck that bitch, there's a lot of girls out there that are better and want me" you don't even really have to believe it. Just the act of thinking it will do. Laugh more even if it's not real. Smile more. Body posture can really effect you mood.
What the fuck do i do there is a girl in my class i'm tryna help her cuz she's cutting her both hands constantly... She's shy to me (probably anxiety but she stares at me sometimes) she is a huge fucking weabo. I'm just trying to help her to stop cutting her self, i think that i might push it to far that she'll think i want to be together with her.
fuck her m8
>>18503526
You can't stop a cutter. She cuts because something is causing her great pain. (Probably parents) and cutting is a release for her. If you really want her to stop. You have to be doing something that relives the pain better then cutting.
Trust me do not go there.
Why do you care i she cuts herself?
She is doing it to herself.

I'm trying to write a resume, never had to do this, because I haven't had a "real" job in years. I'm a musician and play around town and do odd-jobs for a living. so basically my resume is about as valuable as a blank piece of paper.
how can I possibly get a real job in my condition? should I just suck it up and work at a McDonalds for a year...? hell, I'd take janitorial work, but they're always looking for someone with experience.
>>18503493
Do you have any friends you can put down as a reference? Do a little research on what ever job you want so you know what your talking about when you have the interview. Then if the call your refrence boom hired. Just don't break character, be confident.
>>18503546
>Do you have any friends you can put down as a reference?
can I just give them any friend as a reference? should they have some sort of credibility, or does it even matter? like... do they ask what I have done for that person, or do they just ask basic questions on reliability and the like?
>>18503584
Well your friend will have to put up a front that he's a manager of sorts or a business owner. When they call references they literally ask basic shit.
Was he tardy
What is his work ethic
Did he always come into work
This is going to seem like an odd subject for most; go along with it.
Why would someone(a sibling) attempt to implant or revive a molestation memory from childhood that they were the culprit of? Why would someone reveal themselves to be the predator from years ago of a repressed memory?
Also, even if the memory is fake, how do you deal with someone like this or tell your family why you don't associate with them? If it's real, the outcome would not be good for anyone, and if it's fake, I'd probably look like I'm worrying about nothing.
Self bump
Roll if you have no input
I've never been sexually abused but if I knew someone who did it to me I'd probably try to disfigure them in some way and deal with an assault charge or whatever the fuck. I dunno about fake memories, I guess if you have to question it, just assume it's fake?

My 92 year old grandmother is currently decaying away in her home losing her mind. She has been injured various times but plays it off with insane excuses. She is clearly not mentally fit to be all on her own.
Currently she is in the "care" of my aunt, in which her daughter forced her so that she controls all my grandmother's finances. Right now the aunt does nothing at all, and worsens my grandmother's physical state with her nonexistant care.
In general the aunt is a big obstacle.
What can I do to help this situation? Ideally I'd want my grandmother to move in with me so I can actually take care of her but im unsure if my aunt would let that happen. It's come to the point where the aunt drains her pension each month not even leaving her enough for groceries.
Unfortunately I live a few states away and my grandmother defends anything my aunt says.
So really what are my options? Its not safe for her to be living the way she is and my aunt is just draining her.
call the police if you are worried about her
>>18503354
Ultimately she'll just defend my aunt. I dont think its against the law to be an idiot with your finances.
Her house is a hoarder mess, though I dont think much can change.
>>18503363
Then there isn't much you can do. If your gran signed over her rights it's even less you can do. Unless you can prove abuse.
So I work as a Software Engineer in Switzerland, I have 3 years of experience. So, statistically I'm on a rather "junior" level, but I would say that I absolutely outperform everyone on my level.
Right now, I'm on a 93 k wage, until a week ago, I was on 87 k.
I have one coworker which has 6 years of experience and my same education. He was on 89 k and has been upped to 101 k.
The point is, that we are in the same team, we deliver the same amount of code and quality and I feel like by giving him so much more increase than me, the management is underestimating my work.
I am aware that with my level of experience, no-one else is probably going to pay me much more. Since a few days, I've been rather unmotivated because we have been put apart on the wage scale so much, while delivering the same.
I talked to my girlfriend, and her reaction was just happy about my increase, she didn't see the point. My father also only pointed out that I now make more than him and that I shouldn't be that butthurt.
I don't know how to properly bring it up to the management and I don't know if I'm maybe complaining too much or exagerating, but my personal point of view is: "if have the same performance, we should be more or less paid the same". And we went from a 2k difference, to a 8 k difference.
What should I do?
Pic unrelated
>>18503245
I should move to Switzerland
Don't do anything. You're forgetting that experience isn't just a measure of skill, it's a measure of responsibility and CONSISTENCY working in a team. As someone who has to appreciate math, given your profession, I'm sure you can respect that (if I were to use a video game as an analogy), that someone having a 5:0 KDA being 100-20 is more consistent than someone with a KDA of 5-1.
It's not anything personal, you just need to realize that businesses, even from an operational expenditure aspect, have no incentive to give people people with your amount of experience the same wage as someone who has been in the field for 10 years because of things outside of just raw skill they can contribute to the company.
start programming in dogo until they pay you more
For those of you who followed the original thread >>18496286
The neighbors have returned after 4 days so I thought he would go back home (despite them being neglectful owners). However sure enough at 1am he's back at my door wanting to come inside again. Has he basically adopted me as his owner now? I'm surprised his owners don't care that he isn't with them. Pic related is identical photo of cat
Do not let him inside. That's the worst thing you can do.
Oh yes I remember the thread. Well cats are weird and even if they are doing well in their owner's house they will still like to hang out in other places, especially if they haven't been castrated.
When I had a cat my family took great care of him but he would still like to hang out with my neighbors like he was 50% ours and 50% theirs.
Did you ever have a cat before? (sorry if you already said, I don't remember). Many owners don't mind when their cat goes around town for hours because it's pretty normal. They usually worry when the cat has been gone for over a day though.
>>18503240
I'll fill you in on the details: neighbors cat visits frequently but I never feed him or let him inside. 4 nights ago he was meowing at the door at 1am which is weird because he's never out passed dark. He slept over and has basically lived with me last 4 days. I went to neighbors apartment/house but they weren't home (all cars gone). He hadn't been fed and was super hungry so I looked after him.
>>18503247
I've never had a cat before. As I said neighbors disappeared for 4 days and seemed to have neglected him (left him locked out and no food).
>be me
>have new gf of 1 month

What do senpai? I don't want her to see me cry but the brotherhood in this particular movie gets me every time.
Hopefully you'll be in her pants by the time they get to fall camp

>>18503091
My man, I don't think you realise how much I fucking love this movie. I'd rather watch the whole thing than get some pussy. Maybe if it was my first time scoring with her. Now that the novelty has worn off I'd rather watch one of the greatest movies of all time start to finish.
Tldr: They might have put up a screenshot notification with Instagram and i learned the hard way.
>be me

Anyone have experience with the watermelon 0 thing?
Update now her profile is private oh my GOOODDDD
>>18502940
youre fucked, sorry
LOL that's pretty funny
it's fine
just forget about her and move on
Why do girls ask when I'm spooning them to tell me a story? What are good stories to tell?
I literally read philosophy and engineering and the only fiction I read is murakami.

Obvious Shecherezade bait.

who's afraid of the big bad rapey wolf
is it too late?
im 33 now, was fucking around. and now i want to settle with a young 20's girl and have a family. what do?
where do i find a good one?
Where are you comfortable finding one? Do you do night game, day game or text game? Do you socialize? If you're looking to settle, don't date younger than 24.
t. 33yo who's been dating a fit af 24yo for eight months. Met on tinder.
>>18502804
>met on tinder
I'm sure your not being cucked right now
>>18502786
Are you handsome, already had succ with women throughout 20s and or black? If yes just go meet people if no youve screwed it.
Random picture.
Anyway, I have an attraction to a girl who has a kid about 4 years old.
I know she has her own place and I have her on facebook from what I've seen there's no man around.
I'm a loser 1st year 22 year old guy she's about 29.
Should I peruse knowing she has a kid? She's beautiful and I want to get to know her.
>>18502766
Nope, you are just an easy target. If you want to pay for child support, go ahead.
Yes, just remember that you are a cucker
>>18502781
>>18502780
If I don't marry and I can leave at any time then why not?
Besides the kid might be my friend when he grows up?
Hello /adv/isors, I have been seeing a girl for about 2 months, today we had our seventh date. I really like her and don't want her to lose interest, so I tried getting in her pants while we were touching and making out. She stopped seveal times, but continued to stroke my member and everything.
I'm rather new to dating, and from what I understood most people have sex within 3-5 dates. Do you believe she has lost interest, or is there something I was supposed to do? For females, do you sometimes prefer to wait a few months before having sex?
>>18502665
>girl agrees to go on dates with me
>she even touched my dick
>she isnt interested, is she?
Yup, op confirmed for being retard.
Stop comparing yourself to internet memes. Sluts and whores have sex on first date and then on other side of spectrum there are ladies who dates multiple months before any sex happens.
Keep doing what are you doing. She is probably just testing you if you are another cum and dump type of boy.
Keep asking her on dates (at least once per week), cuddling the shit out of her and hope for best. Some day she will be so horny she will rape you. Try netflix and chill. Download some movie, buy red wine, condoms and some food and ask her for netflix and chill.
>>18502665
Give it time stupid faggot.
Jesus how dumb and autistic are some people..
>>18502716
>>18502717
Most info here and online says have sex asap so the girl knows you are interested and comitted. I heard an average was no more than 6 dates. I appreciate the advice, I'm not so worried now, I was just afraid of losing her.
I need guiding words, /adv/. There's a question in here but I don't know it; you might need to help me find it. Honestly any "I feel you bro" or empathy is appreciated, I'm, but bear with me:
>24
>In good relationship with gorgeous, smart, loving, and fiery gf, but some strains and incompatibilities
>At a job with stressful hours, tenuous opportunities to move to more fulfilling and enjoyable positions, and a mismatch of skills; not using my college IT databasing or programming skills particularly well, but I'm paid well
>Insane introvert; I sometimes require days of time by myself to recharge
>No real dreams; always wanted to make a game for the hell of it and have ideas floating around, but my skills aren't professional enough and I don't feel like I have anything fresh to give
>Feel sexually shy and don't know how to break my degenerate hentai-fueled fetishes to my gf
>/o/ enthusiast with a very unhealthy longing for a project car my gf probably wouldn't approve of and that won't be feasible once I move out with her
Life just feels very unfulfilled right now, guys. I feel like I'm on track to continue as I am, probably get a decent managerial or at least tech analyst/architecture job somewhere, have a kid with my current gf, and burn out by 50 not knowing whether I have regrets or not because I never had concrete goals to begin with.
I just don't have any intense hopes or dreams, other than wishing I could leave some sort of work, art, or mark on the world -- but I don't have the skills for it. My most intense pleasure has always came from projects that I had aspirations for and I achieved... But I don't have anything.
Have you ever felt like this? I just feel very awkward in my life. Don't know what to do about it.
>>18502648
There are two types of people on this planet:
Manly men who doesnt give a fuck what others think or do and bitches.
So far you sound like a bitch. Decide for yourself what you want from your life, make a list, prioritize it, make a plan and START DOING IT FAGGOT!
>insane introvert is not going outside for a few hours
fuck off normie
try staying inside for 2 years
I bet you went outside to get groceries and shit
What fetishes?
