Chemist.
There's a lot of employers though who don't really give a shit what you studied. I'm a bureaucrat despite studying chemistry

>>18185218
Thanks professor
For more context of other skills I have knowledge of English Spanish and Russian. I also have knowledge of computer hardware and some programming knowledge in python and c++ (not near the level of a cs student probably)

Do chemical engineering instead.

Hey /adv/,
I have had this puppy now for about 7 or 8 months, and every day I hate it more and more. It is cute and all, but she is afraid of me (ears back, runs away every time I get near her), she poops and pees in my apartment at least once a day, and so on.
Seems like a wash to keep an animal that I am growing to hate, and has hated me for a long time. The problem is my girlfriend goes insane and cries every time I bring up getting rid of her, but I am the only one paying for her vet bills and stuff.
What do you think /adv/?

Dog is like a baby. Even if it is scared of you, you gain its trust eventually by literally being nice to it.
What you gonna do if your baby will poop on floor? Give it away for adoption? And yes you will pay it's bills too. That is one of few reasons why to even bother make money: they allow you to trade them indirectly for happiness.

>>18185124
This dog by no means makes me happy

Maybe you are robot.
Maybe you havent even tried yet.
Maybe you should never have children.
Also your gf is basically using her tears to manipulate you into keeping doggo :-D
They only way for you to obtain peace again is to kick them both out. But that way you will be alone. Bear with it.

He's got a much more attractive prospect and he either thinks dumping you entirely is game or he's too stupid to keep you as a backup.

He's a really sensitive guy so are you sure its not something else? We have everything in common so i think it's odd he'd want to just ignore me like that. Unless he hasnt and has been VERY busy..

Sorry but you (over)invested in a fantasy. I've been there and I understand what you're feeling but you just need to let this go.

Hey guys,
I have a pretty good life. Girlfriend, good money, nice appartment.
Yet for some reason, I feel unhappy.
I always had a tendency to see the glass half-empty. I suffered from depression for many years. My relations with the outside world have always been pretty tense. I have this feeling that people have a tendency to dislike me, make fun of me and even sometime bully me. I have a pretty easy going personality, and I believe to be a friendly person. I am also pretty strong physically, but mentally, I can get upset over small things, and even the smallest disrepect, even when it's just in my mind, can be a source of great anger, frustration and despair.
I have been taking treatment for many years, but even if it works to some extend, it makes me stay on this victim mindset.
I am really trying to improve myself, and I would like to have your insights on this. I can't let this situation go on.

Jesus Christ is my answer. You can have the whole world but if you lose your soul for eternity it is nothing. We're born dead in our sin, but the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob has made a way for all of us to be reunited with Him and regenerated through the death and resurrection (Mark 8:36) of his only begotten Son. He will give you the strength of live a victorious life in spite of your previous depression or whatever choices you have made in the past (Matthew 11:28-29), but most of all you will be able to rest in the promise of eternal life (John 3:16). Ask Jesus in heartfelt prayer to reveal Himself to you. He's real and alive and loves you.

Yeah, it's not happening, mate.

>>18184999
Assume the problem.
Do something about it you normally wouldn't do, without change it won't subside.
Don't be afraid of failure, see something positive and thrilling in it, like a challenge.
If all of that doesn't help, then put yourself in someone else's shoes whenever you encounter what makes you depressed, live in the illusion that you handle the problem like a specific person that has no problem with it.

I've been stupid and told my boss I'm resigning last Friday. I haven't submitted a formal resignation yet, just told him over the phone.
One or two of my co-workers have been told (since they will have to find a replacement) but now I'm regretting it badly.
How common is it to withdraw a resignation?
Should I just email my boss asking to speak with him next week (he's on holiday this week) and explain my thinking process?
I was thinking of doing a Masters at university (I've been accepted) but the fees are pretty steep and I'm now losing interest in doing that. Also my flatmate committed suicide last week in her room while I was there, and I've spent a week bouncing from sofa to sofa, and I took it as a sign that I should just resign and leave this city.
Any advice?
Please help.

Don't stop your dreams because a woman killed herself near you, she wasn't going to fuck you anyways.

>>18184975
Her death isn't effecting my decisions on anything, only I had to move out of my apartment and ended up bouncing around different places. I was exhausted and took it as a sign to quit my job (which I've been thinking of doing for some time) that I need to finally move on.
But I spent the weekend out of the city with a guy who is friends with my family. I think I realized that one of the reasons I'm so down and frustrated is that I don't have a girlfriend. The job itself doesn't really teach me any skills but it's secure and well-paying for someone with no skills.
I figured today I should just put all my effort into finding a new apartment to rent, and then really trying to find a girlfriend and improving my life in that sense. If I do resign I'll end up living with my mother and sister and step-dad for around four months before spending several thousand dollars on a degree for a career I'm not sure I want.

My boyfriend is drifting off, We had our lives together planned out, and then he converted to hinduism, ok whatever I love him, we can work it out... Then he starts talking about how he wants to branch out and make new friends by quitting his job and getting a new one... He then says that he met a new girl at work. He hasn't said anything nice to me in days, weeks even. I feel like we're just roomates now...
Should I just breakup and move on, or talk to him about it?

Yes, don't blame yourself.
Blame religion in general, if we could purge that shit the world would be better.
He changed and probably already moved on and is just waiting for a chance to hook up with someone else.
Live isn't just short but also regretable if you waste your time like this.

>>18184968
Yeah, I don't know if he wants to get rid of me though, this might just be a friend.
He was so perfect for me I don't know if I'll ever let him go, I miss how he was before.

Hey /adv/,
Im currently studying in europe doing my masters. I'm about to start my second semester, but i've firmly realized I picked the wrong school and specialization of my field. On top of that, due to my not resuming medication until now (its been years) I've found myself immersed in people that party waaay too much and those in my program have a view of me similar (they do like me though). I'm afraid that this will reinforce my impulsivity and drag me down even though i'm now on meds which largely counteract it.
On top of that, due to my own failings and not being on meds I've let my grades falter.
Further info, my biggest fear is telling my parents whom are funding me (they're very well off though) and wasting a year. I don't have tuition fees whether I stay in my current program or switch and I have been in subsidized housing and would likely do so there as well.
Pic unrelated, only one I could post from my phone.
What do yall think /adv/? Is it stupid to switch or should I go for it?

My girlfriend have been putting on a lot of weight, recently. How do I convice her to come to the gym with me? Without hurting her feelings. She has entered chubb mode and it's unpleasent to be honest.
Without hurting her feelings, if possible. Very important.

Scandinavian girls are the pinnacle man.
I noticed that there are a lot of guys that think they're all philosophical and shit for reading Osho quotes and watching YouTube videos about philosphy or life. I'm ok with that, I like those myself, but I don't push my philosophical beliefs on others and I don't try to add philosophy in every conversation I have with people. It's annoying and often the guy thinks he is so much smarter, sophisticated and understands everything better than you (or me in this case). I'm not dumb, I go to university, I have hobbies like art and drawing and working out, but somehow these guys always talk like I'm dumb or a sheep and they're 'enlightened'.
My ex was like this, he would watch atheist stuff and anti-feminism stuff and it really changed him but it only turned him into an asshole who talked bad about others but couldn't see he's a neckbearded weed addict with no friends.
Now I have a very fit and social boyfriend, he works out, has hobbies like martial arts. He's a better person than my ex ever was, he doesn't look down at people and I believe he really is intelligent because he uses philosophy to become a better person himself and he is very inspired by Buddha and doesn't care about atheism or anti-feminist things, BUT he overanalyses everything, all of my feelings and when there is a problem he always comes with philosophical stuff and a huge wall of text or a huge story about how I should deal with the situation. I love my boyfriend to bits, but I don't understand the overanalysing part so much, he really is a mind over emotions kind of guy so very rational.
I don't mind it on the other hand though, that is what I like about him, but I was just wondering if this is a guy thing? Using philosophy to make yourself a better person but in the mean time believing others are sheep or have sheep mentality (because they are less or not into philosphy)
Does anyone recognize this?

I don't know what a philosophy is, but are you sure that you don't just feel like he's trying to make you feel inferior by using really long convoluted words and sentences and letters?
Do you have any examples of this?
>>
Actually intelligent people don't try to force their opinions on people they like. The dumber the person is, the more of a genius they seem to think they are. I have a friend who's college educated but dumb as a fucking bag of rocks and he's always explaining why "I don't get it maaan" while meanwhile possessing 0 knowledge of historical events and basic philosophical ideas. I can't tell you if you should stay with him or leave him but I can tell you he's probably a bigger jackass than he thinks
>>
It's more of a learned habit. I used to be similar, attempting to solve people's problems with philosophical examinations, until I realized that's not what they wanted/needed and that it was a fairly pointless gesture in the first place (not in a nihilistic sense, but more like the application of personal philosophy has to be self-actualized rather than taught).
The new guy will likely learn how to break out of this habit in time if he is as intellectual as you say.

Okay /adv/ I made the mistake of applying to a small pizza restaurant that my family and I go to frequently.
I got the job, and it's actually an awful place to work. I applied for a part time position and They've given me ~39-41 hours this week (Depending on the amount of time it takes us to close, which varies.) I'm currently a College student, and I can't imagine how I should be balancing a schedule like this
How long do I have to endure this before I can leave on good terms?

Tell them you can only work part time. Student is you full time occupation now, so what's even to ask here? They can't demand all your time for a shitty job. You have a life besides this shitty job, basta.

My friend left the first day on the job at Peter Piper. He applied thinking it would be all butterflies and rainbows, but he had to wipe tables. He, being a dumbass and not expecting this, just stopped going to work, or quit, I dunno which. Its always an option... although I wouldn't do it, hehe. Goodluck on your quest.

So, I broke up with my girlfriend a while back... and I still have some books she let me borrow. They're by John Green, both of them, if that means anything. I have no classes with her, and I only get a glimpse of her in the halls or at lunch, as we have kinda been avoiding each other after the break up. In actuality, its like we've never spoken to one another nowadays. I don't mind that, I mean, I did break up with her after all, but, I kinda want to give her her books back. She was in love with me when we were together, full-on "lets stay together through college" bullcrap. I know I can just go up to her and give her the books, but, I'm kinda a coward, but I can still do it if I was pushed to. But I was considering a different plan. During lunch she sits at the same place with her one friend and they leave their bags and go to get lunch. I was thinking when they left that I sneak over there and drop off the books. Should I do that, or just man up and give her the books upfront, after not speaking or acknowledging her for months already I've set my mind to do either or today at lunch. I've held on to those books for long enough (and didn't even read em). And if I just drop her books off, does that make me a coward? I really would rather not have to talk to her, but is it an obligation that I should do out of "doing the right thing"?

into the trash it goes. and stop whining about her. those books are a sure fire indicator that you dodged an idiot bullet.
>>
What are you afraid of? Be a man and just give her the books back. The worst that can happen is you have an awkward interaction and feel a little bad about it. That won't kill you but you need to remove traces of her from your life so you can move on.

Is it possible as a 27 yr old to pick up math, physics and chemistry from where I left off (that is, high school - only studied them for 4 semesters in HS) given that I have a linguistics degree and it's been probably more than a decade since I opened a math book?

Idk how it works where you live, but where I live there are two options for students going into those subjects: those who studied it to a particular level in high school can skip a couple of classes, while those who didn't or did a long time ago can do a course to learn the basics first.

My dudes, bros...
>i want to breal up with my BPD girlfriend.
She is very abusive, verbally, emotionally and even physically.
She feels super entitled.
It started really mild and gradually advanced to a point that i cannot ignore it anymore, i tried getting her to a psychologist but she feels good for a couple of days at best.
She is controlling and... you know basically all the worst BPD related traits.
She always talks about wanting to die, she told me she tried it 2 times before (dont really believe her) and im afraid that if i'll tell her we're breaking up she'll pull out the suicide card to blackmail me emotionally and might even attempt or do it to make me feel and lool bad.
Anyone relates? what do?

If she pulls the suicide card, notify her parents about what she said when you broke up so they take care of her and you dont look likeca neglectful dick
>>
>>18184513
Download sound recorder into your phone.
Record her talking about suicide.
Call cops, hand them records.
Wave at your gf being dragged to mental ward, yell that you are breaking up.
Change states just to be sure.

>>18184565
her mother is pretty much like her so she'll pretty much blame me for making her beloved perfect daughter feel so sad that she wants to die. she isnt really aware of her or her daughters mental state.
her father is the sanest person i've ever seen but he has detached himself from the situation and tries to ignore them as much as possible, he's well aware of these 2 crazy bitches he lives wit, he's actually one my best friends but i think he'll care more about his fucked up daughters wellbeing than me.. and its pretty normal.
I'll give the news on friday night so she'll be at home with her parents trough the weekend.
I'll do my best.. thanks anon
