what does a burger have to do to get a 70k salary?

let's assume I could procure higher education and willing to do pretty much any legal job out there.

I've just graduated high school and I haven't really been doing anything so far for the break besides chores and playing video games. I've applied for quite a few jobs but I keep getting turned down because my resume is pretty weak (haven't had a job before + no community service). It feels like everything is crashing down on me at once and I can't pull myself out of it, I feel like I have no ambition. I'm starting to grow indifferent towards all my friends that I've known forever. We were kind of the 'prep clique' and they're funny people and all, but most of them aside from a couple are pretty bad people. My 'closest' friends are always the ones to make fun of me the most. For my appearance (ginger), my trouble with girls, and basically whatever they can find. I feel worthless and I've taken attempts to distance myself from them but I still feel terrible and lonely. I am considering not going to school next year because I feel so lost. I don't really share my feelings with my family because my dad is not the best at listening and my mom is a bit emotionally immature and it's never been easy to talk to her. I've had gay thoughts recently because I can't seem to talk to girls but I don't think I'm gay and I don't ever feel attracted to men (have only had sex once w/ girl). Pretty sure one of my friends just found out about that cause he went on my computer but I'm not completely sure. I need new friends but don't know how to make any and I'll probably be an outcast to them anyways if my friend did find something on my computer.

I trust this place a lot so figured I can bring this up here

How many of you have families? I have some questions if you have wife/kids..


>I've in a very good position right now and I think with all the money I can actually save I can retire comfortably at 40-45
>I don't need the rat race lifestyle of working until you are in your 50s just to support a family
>I was actually born in another country and moved to the US long time ago
>I was thinking once I succeed and actually save away, I can just move somewhere else with the money I have and survive on a nice living for the rest of my life
>However, I've started to notice If I do have kids and a wife who is also in a field and is successful as I am than we would both be tied down to a mortgage, car payments, and taking care of the kids instead of living and enjoying life after your mid 40s

Lads, bit spooked. Cousin texts me saying her husband "urgently" wants to know if I could help him out for 100 squid cash-in-hand for "easy work". Pretty sure he's a lift engineer, not totally sure though. I sperg out when I have to do manual labour most of the time. What does he probably want me to do?

Is there any way to convince your friends to eat healthier, especially if you don't live with them?

Friend A
>eats a lot of fast food because they don't know how to cook well
>barely eats fruit and vegetables, except what comes in their cheeseburgers
>basically a diet of carbs, meat and dairy (mostly in the form of cheese)
>their roommate encourages them to eat better when they make shared meals, but when A is making food for themselves, it's back to normal
>not overweight, actually probably closer to being underweight than anything, because they're very active

Friend B
>eats more fresh produce than Friend A but diet isn't very varied
>diet is also high in fat, sodium and sugar
>is busy stressed quite a lot so buys themselves junk food 'because they deserve a treat'
>lives with their mother and brother; they're both picky eaters which limits B's diet even more
>overweight, probably obese in that "no one realises you're obese because fat people are the norm these days"

I'm not saying I'm perfect or anything, but I'm getting concerned for both of them. They're both often sick. Friend A also has vitamin/mineral deficiencies and Friend B takes ages to heal when they get an injury, which they often do because they're rather clumsy. We're all in our mid-20s, so they're not going to be able to eat they way they do much longer.

Any advice?

Anyone here ever peruse or make it doing stand up comedy?

I did open mics for almost a year at coffee shops and bars; most I got were free drinks from the owners. Ended up quitting the last year and I've been contemplating starting it up again; I'm terrified of the idea though. . .

At my most focused I did around 8 open mics over the course of a week (5 days). Is there anything else to it besides stage time and writing; and pissing off seniors?

thx

How do I make my flag a '?'

I’m 23 and I feel old, like life has passed me by. I feel like most people my age are doing things which, if I ever get to them, it will take me years to do so. I feel a certain numbness, a certain indifference, as if I don’t care what happens at all, but the uncomfortable part is I also feel like I will stay like this, it’s the kind of thing I feel sure of, that feeling that’s missing when I set myself out on a goal, like when I started at engineering school. I told people I was going to do it, I told myself, I pictured myself doing it, but it felt phony, fake. That’s how I feel everytime I start in a new school, like I’m lying to myself. I don’t know what I’d rather do, even music doesn’t seem to motivate me very much. I daydream about doing so many things with my free time, and when that time comes I lose all desire to do any of them, and I just sit, or lie there, or walk around in circles thinking about anything, avoiding at all costs to do any task. I feel as if I’m the only person with this problem, as I look over at my acquaintances and see them making progress, accomplishing things. I really want to know if everything feels as pointless to them as it does to me, but they just carry on distracting themselves with other things, as I probably should, but I just do nothing, again. It’s procrastination, lazyness, I guess, stretched out for years and years, and I notice it, I tell myself to do things, I feel the regret of wasted time, but it’s like I’m paralyzed, I just sit back and let the time of my life keep slipping between my fingers.

Has anyone here experienced something like this?

There is a girl at work that i kinda like.

she is pretty. good to talk to, i like to make her laugh and i loke when she makes me laugh.

i dont feel awkward or shy with her or anything and dont think i would have a problem asking her out.

here is the deal though. i have no friends or social life and besides work i am pretty much hikikomori

how much of a deal breaker is that. im more scared that once she find out the truth she is going to think differently of me or start or change the way she acts towards me. or even worse, other co workers woyld find out.

i dont know why i am ashamed about this side of me when i put myself there by ghosting everyone because i never liked going out to the point no one reaches out to me anymore and dont have any friends because of my homebody ways.

even if people tried to get in contact me i would probably still start ghosting because i wouldnt want to go out

My gf got diagnosed with fibromyalgia.

Isn't that the ultimate bitch disease? I think she's a baby, but now she's mad because I won't support her.

Does anybody have experience with a crooked jaw?

About 7 years back I was punched in the face and soon after noticed a clicking sound around the upper left side of my jaw. I've had complications since, such as breathing issues, pain, uneven teeth+bite, and it looks like my face is much more asymmetrical than it used to be.

Is my face just naturally fucked? Can you fix jaw misalignment?

pic is my jaw

How the hell do I stop eating when it's not needed?

I get very restless when I don't have something tasty to eat and it's messing me up. I want to eat even if full sometimes. I only don't crave it when I'm entertained.
