Hello guys, I'm thinking about switching my major from economics (I fucking hate it) to translation studies. I can go to whichever school I want in turkey if I major in anything related to languages, my exam results were fairly high
To the point, do you know anything about translation studies? If you do, share please
>translation studies

I can't say anything about shifting from Econ, but I can say that translators always have work, even if it isn't much
I had a roommate once that was a Russian/Eng translator who was a trapeze artist in her real life.
I have the galaxy s8 which allows for dual speakers. I tried it today by playing sound through both a bt speaker and my car which has a bt stereo. (Too poor for a new sound system). They connect fine and play music fine, except for a lag. There is like half a second lag that creates an echo and drives me nuts. I've look online to see if someone has found a fix, but with no luck. It seems to be impossible to fix. Does any genius out there have a work around?

Hello /adv/
I have a strange situation in my hands. I'm about to go on a trip for about two months with a girl friend and all I can think about is having sec with her. We both have partners, long time partners. I recently got told she had a thing for me two years ago. I don't know what to do. My current gf is pretty great besides the lack of sex due to lower libido on her side plus some medication which kills her sex drive. I was thinking about trying to go for it and if it actually happens just hide it. What should I do.
How about dumping your useless gf?

>two years ago
Two years is a long time, buddy.
halp?
i feel like my brain is slow and lazy at accumulating information. i want to expand my culture and general knowledge but my brain makes it impossible somehow someway.
my biggest concern is music though. i have a hard time, not only finishing an album, but also comprehending lyrics in English (they just don't get past my ears) and this depresses the shit out of me. i want to discuss music with anyone and make 5x5 top albums things.

Car question
I have a 2007 envoy that I was driving home but all of the sudden I felt like I went over something and it was really rough, even though I didn't see anything, I looked in rear view mirror and saw something that was on the road and didn't pay mind to it
Later on the way the slip indicator came on, on its own and stayed until I reached home. I turned the car off and when I turned it on it made a noise during ignition. Buy the slip indicator wasn't on.
I looked down under the car and saw this (pic related) and it looks like something is wrong.
My guess is something fell off but idk. I'd appreciate if anyone knew what it is. I couldn't find pics of the underside of the car
so is this your bigfoot hunting camera or are you just incapable of letting your camera autofocus?
no one can tell what the fuck that is. that could be a ac condensation drainage hose for all I know from this picture. the car riding rough, and the engine idling rough are almost definitely separate issues though anon.
Hey adv

Ten bytes is nothing dude. Just get a CD or USB
I'll try to keep it short.
I have a friend who just told me he has, for 6 months now, had a huge obsession with Widowmaker, the Overwatch character, that appeared out of nowhere, as he really didn't care about the character until he watched a short youtube video wich featured her. We aren't talking about just a 'waifu' here, this is much more intense, to the point where it influences some of his life choices.
Now, here is the odd part of the situation. My friend already has a girlfriend, a great one at that, and he still very much loves her, not to mention that this character itself doesn't fit any of my friend's expected 'tastes' at all.
He has tried everything to try to lose this infatuation, but nothing has worked, no matter how hard he tries.
Have any of you experienced something similar, or know/knew someone who has? What should he, or I do to help him?
Give him more time
Consumers will typically obsess over a character until another new and better one comes out that they fancy more. Unless he's loyal to his waifu I'd say just wait it out and not care about his life so much. There's some irony there.

Is this real life?
What the fuck are you talking about?
>single dad rents out another room (not mine) for extra income
>tenant is normal and lives like a regular adult
>go off to college
>tenant uses dads laundry supplies, cleaning supplies, and toiletries
>tenant never goes grocery shopping and leeches off whatever my dad cooks for dinner
>dad is now cooking for two people instead of one
how do i show my father that he's at a net loss from this? the guy tries to act like a close friend instead of a tenant and i'm tired of it. when i came home from college and saw what he was doing, i immediately clashed with him and he got in my face as if it was his house.
>>18463260
maybe your dad already knows this and they've got an agreement because your dad doesn't want to be lonely.
>>18463268
This. College is stressfull enough and your dad is a good man for allowing this.

Ur dad is a faggot
Okay so about 2 years ago my mom died of what we thought was overdose. We tried to get her to quit but we understood why she did it because she was badly abused as a child but after renovating my dad's (and used to be my moms) room we found a suicide note and on the note it said what she took and why she did.i had coped with her death and I was completely fine now but after 2 years learning that it was suicide not an accident I don't know how to feel I have a very depressed and unwanted feeling. Any advice?
Get professional help. Talk to a therapist.
>>18463252
She didn't kill herself because of you OP. She didn't commit suicide because she didn't want you or didn't love you. She chose to do it out of problems she had with herself, not you.
I am a flower that is rotten but is waiting to bloom. Some, unfortunately, have a Vice Versa fate. Atleast i think so.
But, time plays a key part.
Time.
To the weather that shall be emitted in my heart.
It goes. It goes. It goes.
A line that's fucking everything up.
It's four in the morning and i still am not sleeping because i like to wait for the sunrise. It leaves me with only silence,
filtering me of all things that could affect me. Nothing that can get out of my head and ricochet off my static and eternal walls. And when that happens, it leaves only one thing that sits still in my mind.
My thoughts.
Always the same pattern.
I made peace with the fact that i'm a broken piece of glass long ago. i'm just searching for all my parts with a glimpse of hope that i can finally arrange myself.
And that same time and that same line seems to flow faster at dawn, or at least i'm feeling that effect. As if all my pieces run away faster.
And why do i feel like i am hungry? Hungry for someone just telling me that they love me back?
Would that be my final manifest of eternal comfort? Will i even care for all the pieces of myself that i've shed?
Oh, do i love exploring this lake inside my head. But oh, do i curse the fact that it freezes once i lay down inside my bed.
And while my dreams slide on the lake, the dammned timeline takes its time, reminding me that i still can have her, use her, for something to make.
BUT I AM SO FUCKING SCARED, FOR GOD'S SAKE.
What's better? I really, REALLY want to move out with my gf. We live about 30 min apart from eachother and the hike going back n forth between our homes is a major pain. We both still live with our (extremely annoying) families. And i know you're all probably gonna say to just stick it out but my patience and sanity is running short..
So what's the better option? Getting a rent-to-own house? Or renting an apartment/condo?
>>18463237
mortgage is pretty much the same price and sometimes cheaper than rent but you have the cost of home ownership such as property taxes and having to repair stuff yourself.
honestly there is no "best" option, they all have their pros and cons.
It's easy. One of you buys the house, and you do a legalzoom or whatever rental contract with the other that includes half the bills and mortgage. Don't do this unless you want to keep the house for at least five years.
I am currently extremely anxious about what I have been doing with my life the past three years. I am 23, did one year in the army and have now finished three years of a five year master degree in embedded systems/electronics design. I have planes for study abroad for one year, starting in autumn, but I don't know if I will follow through. Being in a comfortable spot I have failed to see how 'meh' this whole education has been for me. I have been going to school with classmates that are somewhat dull and many introverts (not made any real friends), but easy to work with, and working out and gaming at night. I find little excitement in the subject. I wish to do something that existes me even if it pays less, that being something with design or people. I.e industrial design, psychology, architecture etc. I feel like I have just woken up from a deep, passive, slumber and need to get the hell out. I have also had anxiety because of this before but never really considered changing. I am thinking of taking a year off and try to get a job with the experience I have to get some perspective. What do you guys think, and are anyone here working with design?
>>18463219
OP here, just wanna add: whenever I explain what I do to others I feel like I have to fake enthusiasm, and it feels like shit that I have been lying to myself for so long...
I am forever lonely and always feel like I want friends but whenever I make them or interact with people I end up finding them boring, hating them or feeling like I'm not worth the effort and pushing them away
what do I do
>>18463189
Cry on 4chan
Don't make any effort to change yourself, sit behind a screen and say you're the victim. Don't ever ever try introspect. Again cry on 4chan it seems to be working.
>I am forever lonely
This is an issue that cannot be dealt with with even the largest amounts of people or the most profound of interpersonal relationships. You will eventually realize that the state of loneliness is a self inflicted state that only you can pull yourself out of by literally controlling your own thought processes.
What's there to be lonely about? You're here along with the rest of the universe. That "you" that you separate from "them" is an illusion. Sure, I don't necessarily jump onto the whole "all one consciousness", but you certainly aren't disjoint from the rest. This is a self fulfilling prophecy you invoke out of a strange desire to be a tragic hero/heroine on your life's journey, when in reality, you are capable of writing your story however you want. Just as you can convince yourself you are alone with reason after reason, you can convince yourself that you aren't alone with reason after reason. You just need to find reasons of the later and stop focusing incessently on the former.

I find myself in an inner struggle. One where if I follow my morality it will end up ruining my life. However if I choose to not follow it, it will destroy my sense of self worth.
I want to go back to college and do something with my life other than work whatever manual labor jobs are around. I currently financially support an alcoholic father who seems uninterested in taking care of himself. I have been paying $500 dollars a month for as long as I can remember for cigarettes and alcohol in addition to paying the household bills, while he spends his money (self employed) on his own interests (guns, relatively expensive ones). He's in somewhat bad shape and I don't know what kind of job he'd be able to handle, he has a vocal disability making it difficult for him to speak and several injuries he's neglected over the years that cause him a lot of trouble. Do I leave, and hope he will develop the willpower to look for and find a job, or work enough at his job to survive allowing me to start my life at 25? Or do I stay and take care of him, and continue to throw away my chances of happiness?
What's stopping him from getting mental help? In any way shape or form. Going to groups, or seeing a drug counselor or something. Trust me I put it off a long time, and I've met people who lost parents because they didn't even try to get help. The longer you wait, the harder it gets to find something.
He's a very stoic man, introverted and prefers to be alone. He finds psychiatry to be a joke and despises the idea A.A. As he doesn't and won't compare his problems with alcoholism. Alcohol does help his voice, but he drinks far beyond that point. He'll quit cold turkey for a couple weeks here and there but always falls off the wagon.
