I'm entering college in a year. My current plan is to become an ESL teacher so I can teach English in foreign countries and to foreign students in America.
Is this a bad idea?
Ignoring how open the job market may be, I've heard that working in teaching language may be useless in a few years due to how advanced translators are becoming. (Especially by the time I leave college)
Would this be a useless certification?

I know someone who did exactly that. He's currently teaching 3rd graders in China. He loves it. He did say China is a very strict country though. They actually have a citizen rating system. They give grades to thier populous based on thier successes or lack thereof. I think America should adopt this system.

Translators are not good at all. Try translating japanese to english, it'll be gibberish. They might be enough to decently communicate but that's it. Learning english will be important for a long while IMO.

Why do you feel that way, OP? If you want things to end, why not do it yourself?
>>
>>18295993
I haven't done it because there is hope inside me that the girl I fell in love with is still in there somewhere and is gonna comeback
I feel that way because I feel emotionally blackmailed and abused. Our relationship has been nearly two years long and our problems started long ago and has been one big butterfly effect for where we are now. I can tell you the whole story but it would take ages

I have a lot of time, anon. Knowing the whole story (or at least a summarized version explaining why you feel this way) will help me and others to give you better advice.

Anons I have to know, what you would do? My boyfriend got really mad at me during an argument and spat on my face. should I leave him?

I'm a gentle person, i was not the aggressive one in this argument. I was trying to tell him I didn't want to get a credit card to give him money for something

Pic related is a recent tarot reading I did.

I'd leave him then and there. The act alone is purely disrespectful and fucking disgusting - add to that the fact that he gets aggressive when you don't give him money.

If you stay will him he'll end up hitting you.

>>18295790
Yeah. That's a bitch move. Your boyfriend is a bitch.

You're an idiot for playing with tarot cards.

You're both better off on your own.

I've never had a girlfriend before, but I can't help but see that as something that makes this easier.

I've come to really accept the world for what it is. When I lay down in my bed, I can't get the idea out of my head that consciousness is the ultimate gift, but then I remember the true state of the world I live in.

I can only think such a thing because I currently stay in my house 24/7. I was happier before I went into the outside world.

It's hard to live in this reality as an atheist.
I can't turn my head from the inconvenient truth I see all around me.

People proclaim anti-natalist views are immature views, but I can't see life any other way as I don't believe in a god. There is nothing after death, and this life turns into suffering once you hit adulthood. Some people are mentally inclined to be successful and fulfilled from working in this world, but others, like myself, aren't.

I can't get over the fact that 75% of the American populace hate their jobs.

I'm thinking about no longer masturbating to 3D women. Not because I have a waifu or I hate 3D women, but because it doesn't feel right. If I beat off to a dude fucking some chick I find attractive, doesn't that mean that I am okay getting sexual pleasure through watching this chick get fucked rather than actually fucking her? With women in hentai or virtual date games, there is no chance of fucking them. Masturbating to them is the most I can do.

But now I'm thinking: How about lesbians? Is that okay? But how would I know they're lesbians? Yeah, she's eating out some other girl, but what if this chick is a bisexual? Or how about women who have died? There's no chance fucking them, so what's wrong with jerking off to them?

Any advice, comments?

>redpill
Huh? I don't hate women, but I do hate the fact that I lust after women other people are having sex with. Do you understand? It's basically that I'm saying to myself, "It's okay that you'll never have sex with this woman since you can still masturbate to her!" That doesn't seem okay, though. It basically seems like I'm just giving up.

Though I guess it's possible that jerking off to virtual women is even further giving up. That's why I thought I'd ask, try and figure some things out.

Idk man I recently cut out porn from my life and I've been feeling pretty good. I haven't even jacked off in like 5 days.

Currently scrambling to finish a 12+ page paper due in 4 hours.
It's an 80% finished outline so far so I have to convert that to 12 pages of paragraphs, insert graphs, charts, and other media, format it, cite it, proofread and edit it, etc, and get it finished in that time.

Give me literally any advice at all on how to accomplish this better. I'm already doing the "just work on it faggot" approach.
Alternatively: Give me advice on not shutting down in panic as I rush to do this.

Take the 10 per cent hit to your paper's grade or whatever policy your prof has. I guarantee it'll be a better grade if you take your time and make a good paper rather than rush it in 4 hours but make the deadline.
>>
>>18295368
-Make a title page if possible
-Start your works cited on a new page if your last page of text reaches at least halfway
-Google scholar has citations you can copy/paste
-Quotes over 4 lines should be their own paragraph (equals 4 extra lines of empty space)

Totally doable, good luck! If you feel a wave of panic coming on, take a 10 second break to breathe, where you do nothing but think about your breath.
>>
Pro tip: dont wait till last minute... Get a friend that will read you each line while you type it into final form.. Dont panic, you will cause yourself more mistakes...if all else fails, take a sick day.. Or tell the teacher the truth, you were a lazy bastard

How do I convince a doctor that I truly want a vasectomy.

I'm not fit for a relationship, let alone a child to raise.

So I just want to focus on my career, maybe just have casual flings but I don't want to get tricked into having a child. But this young at 21 no doctor would let me get one. How do I convince one?

But you can just change your doctor? Also if you dont do relationships, you have to use condoms anyway. Aids is not a meme.

So for you, it is indeed not optional. Listen to your doc.

>tricked into having a child
Dont put your dick into crazy. To have a kid, you have to have unprotected sex. Why would you have one if you dont trust the girl you are fucking in the first place?

Listen to your doctor.

I would really check if you are just not suffering depression or anything. What you are suggesting is permanent and I'm pretty sure you will regret it. A lot of things seem important when you just consider what's in front of you and nothing else,

If nothing else, I'd write your reasons for wanting this procedures done and also write a counter argument describing why you might want it done. Also definitely seek medical advice from doctors who are supportive and doctors who are not so supportive.

How do I tell if my depression is meme depression or genuine?

>>18295237
How long do you think you've been depressed for?
>>
>>18295311
Certainly since around October at least.
>>
How is it impacting your ability to function?


That said, a big part of any sort of slump is figuring out how to deal with it, and the reason depression is a meme isn't because it isn't real, but because people put all the focus on the idea of being depressed or not and no focus on dealing with it. Focusing on whatever it is you need to do (school, work, social stuff, whatever), and developing a sense of agency by doing that I think is the best way to deal with a slump regardless of how it's categorized.

If you do think you're severely depressed though, try to talk to someone and get a professional evaluation. BTW, medicine and therapy don't work for everyone, don't think they're a ticket out of doing personal work on yourself

Mother got emotional and told me I had no consideration for her because I said I wanted to have dinner with a friend during my birthday. I actually said I didn't mind not going with the friend. She still shits on me. Am I in the wrong here?

Also, she makes me feel like I'm a shit son. Just because I don't call her for one day she will point it out as if I'm disappointing her. I'm in college, 21 year old. How to handle this? I've talked with her and she victimizes herself, complaining how inconsiderable I am. I understand that she is a widow, but I have a feeling she has no other hobbies other then her children. We are all adults and I'm the youngest.

Need some good advice to handle this or to calm myself down cause I feel like losing my shit.

Fuck, I'm the youngest too and most likely gonna be the last one to move out.

Why does everyone crave relationships so much?

Just curious, personally I pretty much stopped caring a while after I lost my virginity.
I used to feel lonely when I was a kid but nowadays I can go months without talking to anyone.

It seems like everyone is putting in so much effort into dating and socializing.
I don't dislike people, not at all, I just find that being social drains a lot of energy.

I don't get why people are in such a hurry in this hook up culture we live in, can someone explain what's going on? Am I weird?

>this hook up culture we live in

Statistically we are hooking up less than our parents, they just didn't have social media to parade it around.

There's nothing wrong with how you feel OP, do you. I personally enjoy friendships, I love good banter and hanging out.
>>
Pretty much feel the same. I don't have many friends and the only friends i really have are close ones (i don't make any effort to make new ones tho). The reason why is i just don't mind being alone and as long as i have a pc im all set. My friends feel different tho and wanna go out and do stuff every other day because they feel bored sitting in their room.
>>
Relationships feel good if done right. Like anything that feels good people want more of it. I personally prefer random pussy to relationships but I like a good relationship as well

My boyfriend and I got together about two months ago, but we've been very close friends for six years. He treats me very well and always has.

He's a great guy by all other standards, but he's been with ~40 women before me. I try not to judge but that shows bad character in my opinion. He's told me about hooking up with girls he met online and never seeing them again, he comments on wanting to fuck girls he sees on the street, and the worst of all is that he makes derogatory comments about all of his past sexual partners. Even the ones he was in serious relationships with. All I can think of while we have sex is "he's been intimate like this with 40 other people. how could it mean anything to him?" "there's no way I could compete with the more experienced women he's been with" "am I less attractive than ___?" "he doesn't care about sex, why would he want to be monogamous with me?".


It makes me very insecure. The way he jokes around about women he's slept with (example: making fun of the things they said to him in bed, talking in detail about their bodies, showing their naked photos to people) unsettles me and makes me assume he will obviously do the same to me one day. It's disrespectful and despite it being in the past it seriously gets to me.


Is this worth trying to get over? Is he just an asshole regarding sex/intimacy? Is it even possible that someone can be a good person yet be this disrespectful about relationships?

You've known him for six years.
You should have thought about it before you started dating him.

Why did you start a relationship with him if you knew he was so disrespectful?
>>
>>18294916
>that shows bad character in my opinion
Why? The rest of his behavior obviously does but how the fuck is having many sexual partners a bad trait? It's not like he had 40 relationshits.

>he comments on wanting to fuck girls he sees on the street
Now that's silly if he knows that you're not cool with that.

>makes derogatory comments about all of his past sexual partners.
Now that's a huge redflag.

>showing their naked photos to people
Abort.

All your questions are down to your insecurity though and no it doesn't make you insecure, you already are. It just gives you another reminder. So you should work on that regardless of what you choose here.
>>
He doesn't sound like a complete asshole, it's normal to make a little fun stuff like that from the past
However what does worry me is how he seems to not notice he's obviously talking about it too much to a point where you feel insecure
Feels like he's a bit of an insensitive prick for that
Tell him straight to his face how you feel about these things you just posted here
