>(So far) I've wasted half a tank of gas driving over 140 miles getting there and back twice, for nothing

Is there precedence to push them to compensate me for 2 whole days of work (or more if they have the nerve to turn me away AGAIN)? I commuted all the way over there and back twice now, for absolutely fucking nothing. I gave them all of the information they asked for on the 19th during my orientation, and I don't think they would have allowed me in the facility to begin with if I didn't. HR told me that I'm only allowed to work 3 shifts without my information being completed, but at NO POINT during the 50 hours I've worked there (5 fucking shifts) did anyone approach me and tell me that I had forms to complete or information missing. They tried ONE TIME to reach out to me, which was on Sunday, while I was already on the road to work. Tried calling the number back and I get "this isn't a working number". There was literally no way for me to know that someone had mishandled my information, and so far, this fuckup is costing ME quite a bit of money in lost wages and gas. Am I unreasonable to want full compensation for those 2 days so far?

Also, AMA about Amazon

Damn that's a lot of miles, but then again you knew how far it was when you registered for the job. Let's just hope that Amazon sticks to the word and there's no more bullshit problems.

With that said you should always have a plan b especially since you're wasting gas on some bullshit the company makes up.

I'm perfectly happy making the commute all the way there, but it's for my job where I make money. I haven't made any money in the last 3 days because of their error. So far this whole thing is going to end up costing $400+

Long distance Girlfriend of 4 years has recently gone back harsh on how she said we could have a life together, right now she says she, "can't give me forever" which is fair but I'm torn, I don't want to lose a friend and I can't imagine staying lovers with the constant nagging thought that it's temporary, it took me forever when we first started just to get over the thought that all relationships are either temporary or permanent and what helped me do that was she said she wanted this one to be permanent. She's been amazing and a good friend, fiaithful and caring but a bit of a hard left leaning sjw type (I lean more right)

I have a housemate (female, 21) and she is always carrying a fucking disgusting rag with her that she's had since childhood. Never washed it and uses it to smell it or something but it smells fucking terrible. She says she does it because 'it smells like me'. This is some weird shit - why does one do something like this? Is she fucked in the head?

This isn't your usual small dick thread, this is an advanced small dick thread, but read it anyway because I need validation on the internet.

So my dick size is just above 6inches, maybe six and a half, below 5 inch girth sadly but it's whatever, I don't care about my dick being small.

I care about my flaccid penis being 1 inch
What the fuck is this how do I fix it?? I'm 21 and a virgin because I'm self conscious about my flaccid cock

I'm in between jobs right now. So I got a job at a part time tutoring center. I used to work at a different branch of this center back in college. So I figured it would be easy peasy.

Apparently not. Yesterday the lady sent me a text telling me not to come back. I asked her why. She said that I took long bathroom breaks (I was on my period and having cramps. And I wasn't even in the bathroom for a long time), I would stare instead of doing my work (I don't even know what this is supposed to mean. Looking up from grading work every once in a while to see if any kids need help is a bad Thing?), and overall just really petty things that don't make sense.

I feel like she didn't want to work with me in the first place. It's especially weird when you consider that all the other assistants do the same thing.

I pick up my check today and I get to explain and defend myself to her. If she gives me my position back, I think I'm going to refuse. I don't think this is the type of person I want to work with. I feel like next time she'll look for more asinine excuses to let me go.

Does this sound like the right thing to do?

This is a franchise operation, just like a McDonalds. They pay to use the corporate name but run the business themselves. Chances are that this one isn't doing well, and so the boss is cracking down. It is ultimately foolish, of course, because she chases away good staff.

Take the paycheck and move on.
>>
>>18364771
Good point.

I've worked at two other Kumon centers and I always did really good work. She could even call and ask the people themselves. I help contribute to the positive statistics and helped the kids move onto the next level.

It's just annoying how she is letting me go for small things.

Threaten her with a wrongful termination suit if she doesn't give you good references. Definitely file for unemployment.

to any Americans,
does the word "bollocking" ever get used in the US? if used, would Americans instantly understand what it meant? eg: "he got an absolute bollocking", meaning to get in trouble / be reprimanded for something.

it feels like a British thing, I need to know for a project that will have an American audience. Thanks.

Ive heard the word bollucks used on some british tv show or something like that before but i always thought it meant something like 'bullshit'. I doubt Americans would understand what you meant in that context but they would think it was very British of you to say that.

Hi guys. I'm having a really rough time and want to admit myself into a psychiatric hospital. I've finally come to the realization that I'm not going to get better unless I want to and actively try to. I'm scared though, so I'm wondering if any of you can tell me about your experiences with this type of thing. (also I doubt I can actually afford to get help so if any of you know of resources I can look at for help I would be extremely appreciative!)

Kill yourself
>>
>>18364561
Not that anyone will believe me, and I genuinely don't care if you do, but I'm pretty certain I'm a sociopath. I have no real feelings or emotions inside, my while life I would look to other to find out how to react to things. I only feel rage and anger that can never be filled or go leave. I still remember wanting to kill people back in elementary school. I feel the worst felling anyone will ever feel which is nothing inside. I swear I actually want to kill myself sometimes. Recently I've discovered that the bottled up desire I've had all my life was the desire for homocide tendencies. I look at living things and get the urge to kill it. Like my dogs I want to so bad kick their face in juts for laying their. I want to get help but don't want to be put in a hospital or on meds.

/adv/ I'm panicking

I've posted this before, but a short story of mine has won a relatively small competition with a prize reward of $1500.

But I can't even look at the story now. Every time I do I cringe and feel convinced I should withdraw and say I'm too shy or something. My name and photograph have already been posted on the internet and soon my story will be there too.

Is this just a basic fear that should be overcome?

Should I withdraw and wait until I'm absolutely certain of having written something worthwhile before consenting to make my "debut"?

I feel as if I'm about to emerge from my hermitage and reveal myself to be a pathetic, pitiable, childish dilettante and be washed away by the tide of mediocre "content" I have thus far refused to contribute to. I don't care about the money at all. I feel as if I have jumped the gun and simply rushed out a piece of prize bait that will earn a few laughs and a few approving nods but condemn me to mediocrity. I wrote two stories, one of which I was proud of, and this, which I knew was likely to entertain the judges.

Congrats anon!
Don't worry, remember these amateur comps are essentially vanity stuff, or to get entry money.
Nobody will read it except the people involved in the comp and your mum probs.

And it's good to be critical, it'll push you to be even better.

>>18364548
But the thing is that my name and photograph are both published ONLINE along with the story, so it's not difficult to get hold of if anybody comes across it. If it was just in print form I wouldn't care, but the fact it's on the internet makes me want to cut my veins open.

I've written some embarrassing stuff. My senoir year of hs all I did for writing assignments was creating bs stories or ironic shitpost stoures. Mainly random stuff that popped into my head at the time and found humorous . One even got me in trouble with a super religious teacher. I look back at them and cringe at the thought of my teachers reading them. But I don't regret a single one. You know why, because it teaches me a lesson to watch what I write, each thing I write will be seen by someone so I better make sure I don't embarrass myself.

I'm slowly starting to like cuckholding. How the fuck do I stop this? I don't want to enjoy this shit!

I went through that phase once, then I realized how stupid it was and atop thinking like that after a day or two. SAmerican thing happened to me with furries. Really feel like i dodged dome bullets, just wish I could say the same about anime. I knew it would leave tk no where but despair, but it was just so inviting. OP unless you are 100% sure you want to live with that for the rest of your life then cut your loses rn. Trust me you'll get over it and go back to being normal.

I've hit a rut in my life, lost my home, lost my gf and now I'm losing my job. (Losing gf was by far the worst of all 3)

I've found a better home but I am really depressed right now. I have no motivation to do anything anymore and have no idea what I even want. Please tell me what I should focus on to improve my life again.

Should I focus on my career?, getting /fit/?, should I go on tinder or dating sites? Distracting myself with games? Try to go out drinking every night? I don't know.

By far what I feel like I'm lacking most is love life, but pursuing women always made me feel worse if I didn't succeed.

Focus on finances and health first, when you are stable try to feel happy on your own. You don't need a women to be happy, the sooner you realize that the better you'll be. Then when and only when you are satisfied and stable should you try to date agian. It will just be worse for you to try to get in a relationship when you are not stable at all.
>>
>>18364381
I'm not sure how important your love life has been to you in the past, but maybe it's best to spend time focusing on yourself.

I'm in sort of a similar position as you in that I'm depressed and just recently got out of a pretty serious relationship. I've always felt that the one thing I want to do with my life is raise a child with a woman I love, but that sort of life goal can be frustrating since you have much less control over becoming successful than you would be if your goal was to have a career. To counter this frustration and keep from trying too hard and coming off as desperate, I've noticed that it's extremely helpful to focus more on yourself than finding someone else to help you feel happy and fulfilled.

I'd say get /fit/, focus on your career and do whatever you must to mold yourself into the kind of man a great woman would be lucky to be with. Focus less on finding some random skank to fill your time and focus more on developing new hobbies and skills that will make you more attractive to the type of woman you actually want to be with for the rest of your life. I mean you could do this all just for yourself too, but do whatever you need to do for motivation.

>dont need women to be happy
I've heard this a few times before anon, maybe I should start to listen. And yeah I'm not that stable right now, is using tinder and online dating sites on the side a bad idea? I do think it brings out the worst in people.

>>18364449
My love life has always been the most important thing, but then I have always been pretty unhappy, just a strong of awful girlfriends bar a couple. I can fully relate to wanting to raise a child, whenever I picture my future self I always see myself with a lovely brunette waifu with kids and me making enough money to provide from my own business.
>some random skank
I have managed to bang one girl since the breakup, that made me feel happy that one night but the feeling disappeared as soon as I got home.

I'll try to take what both of you are saying on board. I'll focus on my health and career. Trying to get laid has always made me feel like a loser which makes it harder to get laid so maybe I stop trying to make that the goal.

Hi /adv/

So my girlfriend and I have been in a rough spot. Lately she's told me she doesn't love me as much as she used to and that she almost feels like she's using me and doesn't feel connected with me anymore. We both have loosely decided we want to make it work. As this has developed she's said she's afraid of losing me like if she can't ever "love" me again or feel the connection, but occasionally we still have an argument which seems to really negatively affect her mental state towards me.

Well, sometimes in these arguments I learn something new. She's had brief moments of feeling deep connection with me a few times now. Her laying against me, a deep hug, her kissing me just earlier tonight after we had a pretty negative conversation.

The theme is, often im very physically affectionate. I touch I stroke I cuddle I kiss. She never gets the opportunity to initiate. All these moments of connection began with her physically initiating. It's making me wonder anons, am I forcing it so hard it's strangling it for her? Am I not giving her room to be the one to say something sappy, to start a hug or a kiss, to air any positive feelings for me? She said these moments of connection are the first time she felt that way for me in "a long time", however nothing has caught yet to fully relight the flames. With this knowledge what should I do? Less physical affection? Less smothering her with statements of my love/caring? Do I need to let off the gas a bit here and see if she takes the breathing room and uses it to find that she does have feelings she'll express if I'm not smothering her? Or would it make her think I've given up and am checking out of our relationship?

Thanks anons, sorry for wall of text

Background:
For 3 weeks we've been working at this. I was/am an overweight slob with bad hygiene and an anger/jealousy problem. Atleast the past 1.5 years I have been. We've been together for 7 years now. She said this trend began about a year ago. The past 3 weeks i lost enough weight to wear a belt, cleaned my house, shower and laundry regularly and have greatly improved my mental state with my girlfriend. Field was too long for this info

Only she can decide what will happen, at this point.

Just don't waste any time guessing what she's thinking or how to appease her.

You're better off focusing on positivity and health moving forward, regardless of whether it's alongside her or not.
>>
>>18364479
Well yeah, but my preference is I go with her. I'm focusing on unfucking myself but she is what made the matter clear to me. I'm just simply asking, based off this repeating trend of positive connecting experiences being initiated by her, would me backing off of all the physical and emotional smothering help give her breathing room to grow any feelings she might actually still have for me? My nature is to smother, but should I not? Thanks for the reply

Should I change my family name ?

It's an arabic one, the thing is I'm from a family that's half arabic half German, and I look European as fuck. White skin, bright green eyes, brown hair. I'm looked at weirdly by both sides, one because of my name, other one because of my face. I thought changing would help me fit in.

What do you think ?

I first started browsing 4chan when I was 13 and at the peak of my depression/suicidal/edgy phase and when I lost all my friends. Ironically it helped me from killing myself for a good two years and got me into a semi-"normal" phase.

Now I'm 18 and I'm still depressed, but I can't seem to leave this site. It's extremely foolish to admit but my opinions and world vision have been warped and poisoned by everything I've read from here (especially r9k)

I'm a female (yes, I know what you're thinking) started to think of how all my interests are actually vapid, how I'm not a real gamer, how I shouldn't express myself because guys hate feminism or other ideas etc. it's come to the pout where I only trust 4chan for help/advice (hence why I'm posting here) and am extremely dubious of other information online, and think about how all guys look down on me, how other people perceive me. Also I start to judge people for how "shallow" they are as they're only into mainstream things etc.

Left this site for a few months this year but came back when I felt fucking depressed again.

Sometimes I wish I never met this site and would never have become so jaded and disgusted with myself.

TLDR; My mind has been "poisoned" by 4chan and I want to purge it all.

I know how you feel, but idk I still think that though a lot of my opinions do align with some of what you're saying
(men hate feminism, because be real they do. But being a normal human being with an opinion is not feminism just because I'm a woman, I know that.)

Anyway, you were able to leave once, that's good. I go through the stages too. I leave this shit hole, and come back when I'm down. Hell, thats the only reason I'm on it today, first time in months, because tonight I was feeling particularly lonely and had no friends who would even be awake this late at night to comfort me.

But, that is the solution, taking breaks. Its ok to come back, this place is kinda like a drug. You don't quit cold turkey. Just make sure your stays are brief, and then return to the real world. And while you're out in the real world, just remind yourself to take it in. That's reality. This is a place where people hide behind their computer screens, and say the shit they would NEVER have the balls to say irl. People come here to vent and work out frustration, usually on other people. Most of what you see on here, I honestly believe is not "real" people.
That neckbeard screaming about how all women are whores? I'm certain is a stand up guy 90% of the time out in the real world. Everyone gets frustrated, and when people get frustrated they get ugly. It happens. Even I come here to blatantly troll because it does give me some weird closure.
Anyway, I digress, this place isn't real. So don't take the majority of your opinions off here, it's not based in reality.
Its ok to come back to us every now and then, but don't set up your life here. That's bad news. When you need a little validation, come on board. Once you get it though, get off asap.

How and why does this site make you feel jaded and disgusted with yourself?
>>
>>18364013
It's great that you've recognized the toxic nature of 4chan. That's one step already done. The next step is to formulate a plan of action that is future proof.

For me, I started by blocking r9k on my main pc. R9k is is the worst, you can feel yourself getting dumber as you hang around bitter pathetic people who have no intentions to improve themselves. Hang around people like that, and you absorb their bs whether you believe it or not. I haven't been there for over a year and a half, and things are getting better.

I also blocked /adv/ on my main pc, and now browse rarely on my phone. Also helped my mental state.

I don't think you need to abandon this site entirely, just try to stop going to bad places like r9k and pol.

About like a week ago, me and this girl had sex and the next morning after more sex, I asked what that made us, she was hesitant and just said that we're talking. Since then we've spent one night apart (not counting tonight), but mostly we just cuddle and I love it. She asked me last night if I like her and I said "of course a lot more than I like everyone else" and she responded in turn. This morning I walked with her to work after staying at her place and when I said goodbye to her she said "don't kiss me in public" which kind of hurt, but there's no real label on this so it's not like I can really complain since we aren't technically a thing. But I messaged her later on in the day after she got off work which was late is and I didn't reply to a text from midnight and at 1 she sent me one that said just "good night" which seems like she's being passive aggressive. What the fuck is going on?

Just give her some space. Wait a day or two to talk to her and then check in.

>>18364007
But what does the don't kiss me in public and then being passive aggressive mean? Does she care but is like embarrassed of me?
>>
>>18364028
No clue, but giving her space won't do any harm and it'll be a good starting point to figure where you two stand and what's going on. She could just be annoyed after seeing you so much. If that's the case, and she's friendlier to you after you give her space, then don't take it personally. Too much of anything is bad, and you should continue to talk to her every other day or so.

How come in nature the beautiful sex is usually the male and in humans it's reversed? Think of lions, peacocks, birds. Usually the colorful and flaunting one is the male. But human males are ugly and human females are pretty.
