Okay, so I got some temp agency dude asking for my resume and portfolio. easy.
But the job he is trying to place people in is for Lowe's and he is asking for an infographic for the hiring manager. He isn't giving me a lot of time to fully develop the graphic, and he is talking about 4 other designers doing the same thing for him.
He found my resume off of fucking CareerBuilder.
Is this guy scamming me? Is this a pyramid scheme? He has a link and company and phone number to an actual building in my city, the offices look nice, the Glassdoor reviews seem cool, but temp agencies give me the heebee-jeebees.

That's pretty odd; and nothing like any temp agency I've dealt with.
If you hand in a resume and are willing to work, it's pretty hard to not get hired on by a temp agency.

Welcome to Lowe's, is there anything I can help you find?

Shouldn't you get a contract written up before just designing something for somebody?

He adv, im a 22 yo male, straight, who weighs 145 ilbs. 5'7. I have been smoking marijuana chronically for 3 years straight. my health, especially my lungs, is deteriorating. I really want to quit smoking any day now for a long indefinite while to chisel on a great physique with training in a gym. i want to know what it feels like to be sober again, to have a good time without drugs. i need to turn my life back in the right direction by picking up where i left off in college and getting a degree in CS/Cinema or get into a reputable MBA program. any former stoners that could give me some pushes and advice. stories? what does it feel like? is the withdrawal like a hard drug addict with the sweats and aches? am i doing the right thing? does this sound like a realistic goal?

My friend arranged something for me and him to do on Friday. I text earlier today telling him that I might not be able to make it given how much of a nightmare it'll be for me to make it on time.
>taxi to train station
>train to another city
>wait for another train to another city
>taxi from that station to the location
I just can't see how I'm supposed to meet him at the exact time he wants. Still waiting for a reply, should I leave it till tomorrow or should I text again? What should I say so I don't sound like a dick?
He's always like this, it's a 50/50 chance he will reply even though he's on his phone all day, every day.

Make up your mind if you want to go or not and if you decide not to just call him. If he doesn't answer leave a voicemail, that way he can't claim he never got the text. He sounds like a douche anyway, I couldn't be friends with a douche. If it's 50/50 if he will reply I'd make it 50/50 if I'd even show up.

What sort of evidence would cause an academic institution to investigate whether or not a piece of work was written by the student who handed it in?
If the student wrote something then had someone else make changes, how big would the changes have to be to constitute plagiarism?
Assuming the student had graduate by that point, what would they be likely to do?

what kind of work ? your thesis ?
what do you mean by "changes" ? it's normal to let others proofread your shit and tell you what to fix
and what field ? if it's some liberal arts joke no one will give a shit about your thesis anyway, if it's stem there's a chance someone will read your thesis or whatever it is
>>
>>18465704
A final dissertation, pretty much every sentence changed to adjust mainly for shit English to good English but some segments added entirely where what was there didn't make sense or merely repeated itself. It is liberal arts but in this case someone may tell them. Is that enough in itself to make them check?

stay away from oakland. youll get ur shit jacked and ur bitch fucked. more than likely by some black guy.
Pic related has been in my thoughts nonstop for months.
I'm having constant thoughts questioning the sanity of my mind. A lot of my cognitive abilities feels as if they're deteriorating. I'm having trouble remembering majority of the time I'm awake, it's getting harder to hold and communicate coherent thoughts, and I often find myself without knowing what to do or fucking things up. There's a strong feeling of disconnection between my consciousness and the world I live in, and the feeling of isolation and doubt is becoming unbearable.
I've wanted to go see therapist or a neurologist to have my suspicion confirmed, but I'm still 22. Perhaps this is just some self-doubt coming from anxiety or depression that many have in my generation and not a full-blown cognitive dysfunction. I had to move around different countries while I was growing up, so it's also possible that somewhere along the way I didn't develop properly.
Should I get this checked out? Has anyone experienced and how did it affect your life afterwards?

I mean what if it is? If my doubts are true, then there probably isn't much that can be done the damages done outside of slowing down further deterioration.
I don't even know if an answer at this point would help me cope with my situation, or just make my life shittier than what it already is.
I didn't mean to ask a medical question. I just wanted to know if other people with mental illness had their lives improved with their diagnosis.

I've buried all of my mental health problems under a mountain of drugs and now I have no idea how to dig my way out. I don't have the willpower to convince myself that I can get through any given day without getting high on something. I'll use almost whatever I can get purely because I have grown to hate being sober. I thought I was gay, but then recently developed strong feelings for a member of the opposite sex for the first time in years. Things were going pretty well, I think they liked me too but then they up and moved kind of far away, leaving me fucking confused and a little heartbroken. For the first time in a while, the thought of them wanting me to change was the only thing I thought would make me want to get clean. But, they're gone now and I'm itching to get higher than before so that I don't have to think about it.
Has anyone experienced this kind of thing? I don't know what comes next?

>i dont have the willpower to convince myself that I can get through any given day without getting high on something.
either get the willpower or get to rehab where you wont need the willpower.
>fall in love with girl
>become better man
a girl only makes you a 'better man' if you're still 'better' when shes no longer there. otherwise she only makes you a fraud.
>>
>>18465480
I consider myself to be a high-functioning drug addict, if you believe that to be a real thing. I think going to rehab would just make things worse for me because at this point no one has any idea that I'm using. Once everyone found out everything would just go to shit.
I'm not dumb enough to think that changing superficially for someone else will really change you as a person. I just thought that if they didn't like me being on the stuff and wanted me to get clean, they would help me through the hard part and after that I would be fine to cope with it on my own regardless of if they stuck around or not.

When I'm in my free time, more specifically when I'm listening to music, I imagine myself to be a super rich singer taking his friends out for a ride, helping people, being super showy-off but elegant in front of my crush, singing in front of a super large crowd, etc.
Sometimes, even when I'm studying, I'm easily swayed into this imagination and speak to my imaginary friends thinking I'm super rich and shit.
Another instance is when I'm riding my college bus and put my headphones on, I imagine me driving besides the bus in a supercar and all my friends are trying hard to take a peak on it.
Fuck, am I a nut head? This seems to be too much of a problem now. I've tried stopping it but, like masturbation it just feels so good when I imagine and be in my world.
Saying about myself, I'm pretty much lonely, doesn't go outside much and don't have much friends. Just 3-4 friends from that 1 is a very close friend.
What advice can you give me?

i love you anon
don't ever forget that
do what you feel like doing
do what you want to do without regret
tell her how you feel
or cower to your bed in fear
but no matter what
we'll be here listening
just make sure that you are doing
what makes you happy and
never lie to yourself
be honest because
no one will be able to do that
but you yourself
>>
Did you two ever get intimate while hanging out or else?
>>
>>18465325
>>fast forward 2 years of hanging out
>>definitely love T at this point
You don't love her, you don't "definitely love" her, she is an acquaintance, she wasn't pouring her heart out to you.
>>get so depressed that i tell her i cant be friends with her with the way i feel
>>T was having troubles with her boyfriend at the time
You gave her a "him or me" ultimatum
>>a week later T is single and we arent close anymore
I wonder why...
>>instantregret.gif
>>freakout and try getting her to become atleast my friend again cause without her was worse
Pathetic
>>doesnt work and makes it worse probably hates me
You had no conviction in your own words, you were just desperate to orbit her
>>fast forward 6 months of not talking to her
>>T's birthday is coming up and on the day i say happy birthday
>>T responds and says thanks
>>try to continue conversation but she doesnt respond
You'd think she was being polite.
>this girl just does something to me that no other girl has ever done
Talk back to you without being family
>ive been in other relationships
Bullshit
>but no girl has every made me feel this way. Is there anything i can do to salvage the situation or should i just give up and be miserable?
There's no salvaging it, she told her boyfriend about your ultimatum and neediness, they take the piss out of you, he tells his friends about you and they are glad they aren't pathetic like you.
Accept that you had no chance with her, accept that she isn't brilliant, you didn't know fuck all about her and you filled in the blanks with your ideal woman.
Accept that there are millions of other women out there who are single.
Go out and talk to new women,
Remove T from all social media, block her and don't check on her, don't ask about her.

How does one get a job without graduating? I want to get a job while studying to support my needs and my parents. But I am afraid no one would take me since I'll be a student, though I had been in an interview before but I didn't get called after. Is that a greenlight that I could be hired? Or they just don't know and I will just be consecutively be rejected once they know I'm still studying?

Is it a job in a field that typically requires a degree?
Otherwise, make a note in your cover letter that your education is ongoing, that it has developed skills X, Y, and Z that are pertinent to the position, and that it actually makes you a better candidate for the position. Easy.

How hard is it to start a life in a different country?
I'm a 23 y/o Eurofag. My life is kinda fucked, so I'm thinking of either commiting suicide or moving to a different country and trying to start a new life. I'm a CS major, I get job offers in countries over europe all the time, so moving would be pretty easy.
If I were to do it, how would I restart my social life?

Pick a hobby, join a class, go to bars where expats meet up, go out with your roommates.
If you move to a big town, it isn't so bad.

Hi, I'm on my phone so this won't be neat. I'll generalize this situation as much as possible. Basically, I left my girlfriend because I was going through extremely hard times and didn't communicate with her. I didn't cheat on her, but I ignored her and made her feel like she wasn't worth it. I've since then realized how much I enjoyed being with her and what I value in a relationship and figure. I apologized to her and explained why I did what I did, etc. We've been seeing each other once a week and everything slowly seems to get better. I'm affectionate, she is, we converse, everything is civil. She gives good signs and says things that hint at the future. The problem I'm facing is the 5 days between that hang out. She seems very distant and is fishing for a response out of me. I tried to initiate a date this week, she says she's available for the weekend and then says it has to wait for after the weekend. I keep finding that our communication is terrible over text and I have to try extra hard to get a response from her. I dealt with this last night and I just let it go and haven't replied to her. She also says she's bored sometimes or posts things like " looking for someone to do x with hmu". We have an event coming up next week for 3 days and now with this stalemate going on and how I've been perceiving her actions, I don't know if I can keep playing her game. Is this just what I'm going to have to deal with until she comes around or do I need to be less available as far as communication goes until we approach the day we hang out? She's younger than me and feel like she's just playing a game. Do I put my foot down or ride it out until she comes around? I don't want to come off as bothered, but I'm not in the position to have my emotions played with.

so i work at a kitchen and soup was on the stove and so I was scooping the soup with a metal pitcher from the stove and putting into little pots.
The soup was dropping off the sides of the pitcher from me dipping it and so I was letting it drip down into the stove.
The cook was pretty mad and I was asking him about it and he made it seem to be A REALLY BIG DEAL and so...
how fucked am I? Are they really hard to clean? He didn't give me any answers.
