Just got this strange mail today, what do you guys think?
>First time ever getting an e-mail with broken English that has a sob/wealth story and directions to e-mail a different e-mail address.
That's spam, grandpa.

Hmmmm... Really strange ideed. Maybe she wants to fuck, man, you never know what this might mean.
Kill yourself.

Have you noticed that "she" can't even spell her own name the same way twice?
"She" is a Nigerian scam artist who will flirt with you online and ask for a loan.
hey, /adv/. what are some jobs any cunt like me can get? Amazon is taking too long to give me an orientation date, they've been e-mailing saying they'll give me an orientation date for months now and nothing. I was working at fedex, but I had some car troubles and I'm a dumb fuck so I had to quit and then eventually got it fixed. I'm trying to think of more jobs like that, whic don't pay minimum wage, but also don't require a college degree. Please help, I'm probably going to be homeless soon unless I can get a decent job lol
>don't pay minimum wage, but also don't require a college degree
Aaaahahahaha

Any advice on how to heal spinal damage, even if only a little bit?
>>18231725
Sorry to say this dude but rest is pretty much the only thing that can heal soft tissue damage (which I'm assuming it is - a slipped disk or something would require medical intervention). Stay away from heavy lifting, maintain a correct posture, apply a heat pad when at rest to speed up recovery.
All you get to do is exaggerate your problems to get on permanent unemployment, develop an opiod addiction, and marry a ghetto unfaithful black woman. Game over.
>>18231725
I've gone through some back issues in my late teens and early 20's. The only thing that helped was doing exercises that increased the stability of my core and learned to use the correct muscles for the correct actions. It's really easy to compensate for others. Sometimes this shit is simple as a pinched nerve. This is all anecdotal, however, but when I started to run and work on posture for the most part my pain went away. After a few years it became non-existant. similarly I had sciatic issues and opted to start squating. After about a year of that it went away. You don't need to be a body builder to do this stuff. I'm still a 150lb skinny fag but exercise helps.
If you can get professional advice.
I have plunged into depression couple of months ago. I ended up getting shit grades in college and missing some important classes. I had to ask my acquaintances and friends for homework help way too many times and I get the impression that some are avoiding me now.
I'm currently seeing a doc and am currently in a recovery process. However, I feel like my reputation is already fucked given how my peers seem to be avoiding me. I want to work in an industry which is relatively small so networking is key and I think I am fucked in the sense that everyone else seems to have friends and I don't.
I tried to take initiative to stop being a pile of shit and I actually messaged a prof to ask about summer research jobs and I also messaged another department at my college asking if it is possible to start a series of activities which a funding program seems to cover. Both didn't reply. I think they didn't reply as they already see me as screwed and that people at work tend to want to do as little work as possible so the last thing they want to do is to reply to an email asking such "trivial" stuff.
Any advice for success, happiness or whatever?
>>18231652
There are two parts to your post.
1. Making up with your friends. Just be honest. Talk to them one at a time. "I know I wasn't much of a friend for a while, but I was going through a really bad time. I'm on my way up now, and I want to apologize for [what I did to you]. I hope we can get past this and rebuild our friendship." Some will reject you but I think you'll be surprised how many will understand.
2. It is very, very unlikely that the faculty think of you as a loser and base their treatment of you on that. Frankly, it is very very unlikely that the faculty think about you (or any other students) much at all. They don't get involved in personalities or the way students interact with each other. So if you haven't heard from them the most likely explanation is that they haven't finished the deciding process yet. And if they eventually turn you down, it will be because there are stronger candidates, not because they think of you as a shit.
Meanwhile, it can't hurt to go to the professors involved in person "Prof X, I applied for [the program] and I just wanted to stop by and tell you I am really, really interested in it and hope I'll hear from the committee soon."
>>18231711
I felt really suicidal in the past and sometimes posted about wanting to kill myself on the web during lectures. Maybe someone saw my posts and think that I was psycho.
>>18231722
Once again you are falling into the trap of thinking the universe revolves around you. If anyone on the faculty had noticed those posts and taken them seriously, they would have intervened then. The fact that they didn't is solid evidence that they didn't notice or didn't care - and either one means they're not using it against you now.
My girlfriend says that she doesn't feel loved by me because I don't ask her questions about her life or pay an interest in things like that.
I am like that with everyone though. I can't help being like that, right?
>>18231644
maybe you dont love anyone
>>18231644
Your girlfriend is not everyone. Just ask her how her days was sometimes, its not that hard.
>>18231644
Then what the fuck do you do with her?
I'm 19 years old now and lost my virginity at 18 but I don't really count it and its kind of hurt me. So basically I was having sex with a girl and all of the sudden she goes "ok this is hurting me" she wasn't a virgin. I tried to lube her up more but she didnt want to keep on going. Anyhows I later found out she was telling everyone I had a "little dick" For the record my dick erect is like 5.5 inches erect which isn't huge but still. Ever since I have refrained from any means of sexual intimacy. Honestly I just feel ashamed.
>>18231607
What's the girth?
>>18231607
Women can just be pure bitches, man. If a girl really values your time, your size won't mean too much if you're average. At least she'll lie and say it's big if she gave a shit about you. It just sounds like you hooked up with a slut and she wasn't having it, shit happens. I dipped out on a girl before sex because I knew it was going to be boring and her vag was loose. She shouldnt have said that shit though that was out of line.
>>18231607
Pretty sure that's, at most, less than 1.3 cm below average which is really no difference, The problem's that she's been around a bit more than you think or you two are just not compatible sexually. It shouldn't be too hard to find someone that is.
I know this people in this board are often anti-gold-digging, but is gold digging really a bad thing? If the males here were born as attractive females, would they gold dig as well? I've known attractive women who have snagged a wealthy husband and I am asking myself if I should do this as well.
>>18231568
Manipulating people for material gain is wrong, this isnt complex.
>>18231576
Right, but many people don't give a shit about morals. How many businesses do not have profit as their #1 priority?
>>18231580
Business ethics are entirely different from personal ethics. Does this really need to be said explicitly?
If you're wanting to be friends with someone of the opposite sex with no intentions of going further, and everything is cool for the first couple of months, but then they no longer want to hang out with you and just keep giving you lame excuse after lame excuse instead of just telling you the truth, who does the fault lay with?
The person who got just a tad too needy/clingy and didn't get the hint soon enough even if they weren't being overbearing and asked the other person to hang out too many times in a row, or the person who just keeps making excuses and doesn't have the courage to just say they don't want to be friends anymore or that they are hitting them up too frequently (In this case once a week max, usually once every other week on weekends) and just idly letting the other person keep on initiating
Cause I get it, friendships and relationships are a balance, and nobody likes it when someone is desperate to hang out all the time, but equally worse when they never hit you up and seem to have no interest in your life either. Sometimes you are either trying too hard or not hard enough at all, and everyone has their own preference, but everyone is human and nobody is perfect. We all make mistakes. Yes there is an agreed upon push/pull ratio, but if that boundary is overstepped once why is suddenly everything a no go from there on out?
If you couldn't figure it out by now, I am the person that possibly got a little too needy/clingy, even though it wasn't even that bad at all, I think I just barely stepped over stepped the line. I've been on the other side too so I know how it affects things.
Does over stepping this line once or twice really make me a bad person and unworthy of friendship, or at least the truth? Or is that just 'awkward' and I should just 'get it'. If so, why does the other person (in this case a girl) not just say so? Why not just say hey you are hitting me up too much for my liking, I'll let you know when I'm free and we can hangout then.
>>18231485
Maybe she stopped talking because she wanted the dick not just friendship?
>>18231485
>why does the other person (in this case a girl) not just say so?
Because they're a girl. This happens to me on a fairly regular basis. Of course, I really am trying to smash.
But it's still really annoying, I don't understand it either. I've just accepted it and cut ties with the person who's giving me the cold shoulder.
I don't personally think it's a gender thing, based on my experiences. It just happens with friends with different levels of interest I guess. I wish I knew.
I do think it's more a friends thing though.
I've never done taxes before and apparently you're suppose to file by tomorrow. I dunno how to do any of that and I've made money before. Am I fucked?
A company sent me a 1099-misc form with what they paid me (around 3k), but I don't actually work for anyone.
Does the IRS really hunt you down and come after you if you don't file like everyone says? there's no way they have the resources to do all that if other people are in my boat. A friend of mine boasted about never paying taxes and another dude was stressing me out about doing it. Any advice is welcomed.
>>18231467
You got like three years or five I think. After that they'll start taking money either out of your paychecks or Bank account. But if you wait you have to file for all those backlogged years at the same time or they think it's "suspicious"
>>18231467
If that one 1099 is your only income, you made too little to owe any tax. Technically you should file a return to show that, but the IRS is not going to come after you when they have nothing to gain.
The minimum, which changes each year, is somewhere around 10 or 11K
>>18231753
This. On one hand, you're not required to pay any taxes with your income. On the other hand, you're screwing yourself over because you'd get some money back if you filed. Just do one of those quick online filing things.
Keep getting chest pain/tight feeling accompanied by aching/shooting pain in my shoulder and arm (either right or left). Occurs while resting or while exercising and last a few minutes chest pain fading first then arm pain fading.
I'm 24yo female, not on any meds, healthy weight, smoker (15-20 a day), don't drink, avoid caffiene though it seems to happen more if I've had a cup of coffee/can of Pepsi that week. Have had this problem for 10+ years even when I didn't smoke or when I've cut back on smoking.
Any ideas guys?
Bitch, you dyin'.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Cpr2k9_3qY
just don't smoke, and go to a doctor you mong.
>>18231457
Yay!
>>18231478
Working on it anon but it happened even before I took up smoking when I was a kid?
Doctor had a look, decided they couldn't diagnose without having me hooked up while it happens.
My girlfriend just tried to kill herself by swallowing a lethal dose of sleeping pills, right beside me, without saying anything.
She's at the hospital now, they'll probably put her in a psych ward, I'm not sure. This isn't the first time it happens.
She claims she didn't want to kill herself but only that she 'feels good' taking them, but you don't take 20 pills to 'feel good'.
For two years, I've been trying to help her, but she refuses to try anything other than drugs and medication, and she always goes on an on about how her friends and family 'don't like' her, then I tell her I'm in the same situation, at least she me she goes 'yeah well' as she's snapchatting the friends who she's bitching about.
I've told her that I don't want to be with her anymore, I'm just looking for a second opinion whether I should rethink this or just pack her shit and tell her to leave when she gets out of the hospital /psych?
Stop fucking yourself over by thinking you have to stay together.
If you can, rather then kicking her out, just quietly leave. The less drama the better.
It's not your responsibility to 'save' someone you're with. If you're sick of her shit then leave. People with mental illnesses are extraordinarily selfish, and girls have really strange ways of doing things in terms of friendships.
>>18231432
>Staying with a girl during mental illness
PFFFFFFFT
OP if it were the other way around she would have a different dick almost every day of the week. Drop her and get yourself some more you time immediately. I see too many of my friends trying to save girls from shit like this its fucking pointless.
Very recently, my wife's husband has been quite abusive with her. I can often times hear her yelling and arguing with him while in the closet. One time I heard her arguing until I heard a sickening smack, not sexually I mind you but rather full of menace.
I tried talking to her about these occurrences but she gives the generic "Oh it's all fine now". I've also noticed some bruising on her arms, she seems more anxious whenever her husband is going to come to her place. I respect her husband fully but I just don't feel safe with my wife around him.
How do I handle this situation /adv/?
>>18231428
Woman love classical home violence. It reminds them old times where you had to be submissive house wife or be beaten badly. She will defend her husband, try to mask any injuries and claim that nothing is going on until something major happens.
You can try to talk her out of her mindset, but it will be useless. Submissive woman are just like that. They can put up with abuse for years until they broke down and realize that their fetish for strong alpha guys is alharmful for them.
She is an adult. If she wants to be with abusing husband, nothing can stop her.
The only reasonable thing is to try scare her husband by threating to break his bones if he uses violence again. But that can backfire too.
Also what do you mean by
>my wifes husband
?????? Poly relationship?
>>18231428
>My wife's husband
So you?
I think this is the plot to a Stephen King novel.
What damage does sleeplessness do? I've had max 2-3 hours sleep a night for a year and I think it's affecting my psyche. Memory is shit, I don't understand people's reactions and I get angry all the time. Am I going crazy?
>>18231424
Get yourself some melatonin and fucking go to sleep you idiot. Of course you'll damage your body and mind doing that shit regularly.
>>18231424
Im about 4 years into pretty bad insomnia. Not to scare you but theres a VERY small pool of people i would wish this on. Its damn near destroyed my life. Im angry for the whole day the minute something bad happens. My brain works at about half capacity now. My teeth grinding habit is putting holes in my teeth. Ive gained weight and have big nasty eyebags. OP get that shit fixed asap. If theres a possibility its a mental issue do what you have to do.
>>18231424
Shit 2-3? I'm about at 5-6 and it's hell.
Hey i wanna start reading again. These are the books i have. Which ones do you recommend I read first?
>>18231311
You, uh, got some King there, huh?
Look, I'ma just sum up his entire bibliography for you: HEY, I'M AN EVERYMAN PROTAGONIST WHO'S PROBABLY A STRUGGLING NOVELIST MUCH LIKE STEPHEN KING WAS ONCE. OH SHIT, EVIL JUST CAME TO MY SLEEPY NEW ENGLAND TOWN, I'MA FIGHT IT UNTIL 50 PAGES FROM THE END AT WHICH POINT EVERYTHING WILL JUST COLLAPSE INTO A METAPHYSICAL DREAM SEQUENCE BECAUSE MY AUTHOR NEVER LEARNED TO WRITE ENDINGS.
Cool, now you can chuck those in the trash. Just kidding, I actually do like Stephen King.
But we can't answer that, man, it depends on what kind of mood you're in. Do you want something fun and exciting or heavy and depressing or scary?
None. Go and buy some good books.
In my opinion the shining is one of the best books ever written i'd start with that one
I have these weird hairs that grow out my head. I plucked most of them out and put them next to a normal hair. You see that they are much thicker than my normal hair but also much more gross looking. Almost pubish. They grow all over my head, on the sides of my head literally everwhere. Is there something wrong with me? Poor diet, lack of vitamins? Thanks
>>18231261
Could be hypothyroidism, but go see your doc or a dermatologist about ir
>>18231261
I got those too! You're like the only other person I heard of that got those. Hey, we got a lot in common here.
Seriously though I have no idea.
