am i right in my assumption or can i just leave them in my hand? If i can't, tell me how to remove them, oh and they're not sticking out so i can't grab them and pull them out.

is it really that serious? What will happen if i don't and what will they do to remove it?
Dude if those thorns enter your bloodstream it'll puncture your heart. GO TO THE DOCTOR
Im going to be enlisting in the army soon (active duty) and i am trying to decide between multiple MOS's, the most appealing to me are 11x and 19D, what do you guys think i should go for? If anyone has experience in any particular MOS i would like to know your opinion and experiences.

How do I start working really hard and avoid eating junk? My procrastination has been immense. Is the answer really just, "Just do it"? How do other people do it?
It seems like everyone lives an easy life compared to me. Either they're a female, chad, or some generic normie who is accepted by everyone and has a support structure. I am ugly and have bad social skills and no social life so I will never have any sort of support structure. I feel like an incredible loser whenever I see any young people.
I always feel so paranoid and frustrated because there are ten trillion books / subjects people say you have to learn or else you're stupid." Not only do I get annoyed by this, I can clearly see that they're talking shit, yet I still feel constantly cucked because I haven't read that book etc.
I've completely squandered almost two years on nothing but internet time wasting and lazing about. I used to go on the bus and go to the library or cinema to feel less alone but that made me feel like a loser in public (it just makes me feel cheated). I have had graduate interviews but have never been extroverted and normie enough to pass them. My part time jobs have never taken up much time but I despised them even though I barely work.
I have never been motivated enough to work on productive things in my own time. I consider learning programming and have done about three weeks of productive maths / programming in two years but it's just another mountain to climb. I have to become a workaholic ubermensch just to create some stupid app / nonsense business / become a low tier wagecuck while everyone else floats in to prestigious jobs because they are a normie.
You are not alone. We were born in the wrong time and in the wrong place.
>>18089028
Don't worry man, we all go through rough patches in life. I didn't get a decent job until 2 years after uni, and I didn't move out of my parents house until a few years after that. I hope you can take comfort from the fact that I felt so moved from your post, that my response (this one), is the first time in my life that I haven't shitposted on 4chan
>>18089028
So I had this huge reply written when the faggot from /pol/ moved the thread and lost it. Fuck it. In the end it all boiled down to:
- it's never too late to change your shitty ways, but you got to do it in small doses, can't turn your life around in a day. Start right now and in a couple of years you'll be looking back and thanking heaven for listening to a random user on the internet

The 6 months I have spent here have been the worst of my life. I'm on the verge of failing a math class that I am retaking and a chemistry class, both integral to the major I wanted to do. I don't have any friends here and I've gotten so many shit grades that at this point I don't even feel bad about it anymore. I just feel stupid that I am wasting so much money. I am going to go to my school's counseling office tomorrow to either cancel my enrollment or go on acedemic leave. I am wondering as to what exactly I should say when I talk to them. I might want to come back after a while so I don't want to kill the chance of me ever going back to university. What do /adv/?
>>18088992
What country are you in? In US and Canada, the recommendation is to drop out and start again at a community college when you're ready, in the future.
>>18089016
I'm in the US. Specifically in California.
It's been a year and I keep having nightmares with my ex girlfriend and they are always the same, that she has become a slut (that she has fuckbuddies and one night stands) and I feel really bad after these dreams, anxious and really sad. Why they keep happening? I rarely think of her during the day and what could I do?
>Inb4 if she was a man you would consider that to be bad behaviour
I find promiscuity immoral regardless of the gender
>>18088971
Wouldn't*
>>18088971
If she is your ex, then why do you care if her behavior is moral or not? Your dreams should comfort you, not terrify you.
hello /adv/
I'm a materials science major and I've been studying that field for 3 years now but recently I've been feeling like my major is a joke
is it a joke /adv/ or am I being an ungrateful little cunt?
>>18088964
With engineering or just science? Maybe you can get a job at Michaels telling older women all you know about ceramics though.
>>18089049
just science
I'm nineteen. I have ADHD. I have trouble sitting down to do work. I overreact to sadness and freak out. I have a bit of a temper. I can suppress almost all of my other temptations (saying random shit, cutting people off, etc.) I am on medication.
I hate working. I can barely bring myself to do it. I know this sounds like a dumb complaint, everyone hates work. But for me it makes me want to kill myself.
I want to kill myself. I don't want to live as someone who is objectively inferior to other people, especially in such a cutthroat and hard world. My mind is broken. Nobody understands me. Nobody cares to.
What are the odds I will get better?
Meditate and overcome your brains stranglehold over your life
>>18088917
Am I not my brain? How could I do this?
I want to become my very own version of Christian Grey.
Successful, fit, selfmade, independent.
How do I achieve that? I train four times a week, I study physics to obtain a degree and I program in my spare time, read books as well.
Am I on the right track?
Sorta.
You also need some work etiquette and be greedy at some extent.
>>18088894
That movie specifically was doing that job to attract alpha males. Fuck off. It's my goal, cuck.
>>18088897
I think I can acquire that.
I am 22 right now, so I have some years to achieve my goals.

Fuck off, you can share my goal but if you try to prohibit me from pursuing my goals that wont work
I need a med to read this pls: My lower back hurts since a year. It started to the left but exercising improved it, now it's to the right and I feel my spine is not straight. And I feel mini cracks sometimes when I move. Pls help
>>18088893
How about you go see a doctor in real life?
>>18088893
>It started to the left but exercising improved it, now it's to the right and I feel my spine is not straight
Med here. You have ebola.
>>18088893
Not a doctor, but could be anterior pelvic tilt, sounds similar to my situation and that's what I have.
There's this bitch, let's call her Red. She's generally a manipulative person, and no one in our nerd group likes her. She blocked a friend of mine on facebook for opposite political beliefs. Red later publicly accuses him of harassment. He's a good friend of mine, so I try to defend him politely. I say if you don't want something criticized don't put anything at all. She flips her shit. Tells me I have my head up his ass, tells me she has a job and a life, and the conversation is over. She ends up unfriending me. And stops hanging out with everyone else in our group of friends.
A few peaceful months pass and my friend wants Red to come back to hang out with our nerd group. She says if he apologizes, she'll consider coming back (through her boyfriend, I might add). If she comes back, which I'm hoping she doesn't (I'm a shy piece of shit who likes being nice to people. Even though I might not act that way when I see her), but I'm wondering if there are any ways I could convince my friend not to apologize, or to just show her in the most passive aggressive way that I hate her?
>>18088863
Personally I'd just ignore her whenever she's around, and if she questions it, act oblivious.
You should tell your friend your reasons for not wanting her to come back, he might be willing to sympathize more with someone who didn't previously ragequit after a tantrum.
>>18088863
there's nothing more harsh than ignoring someone.
without using physical violence, of course.
Can you be assaulted cause you 'weren't supportive' and therefore provoked them?
>>18088776
abuse is abuse, "you provoked me" is a way of taking blame off of oneself for shitty violent behavior
if I offened him by saying to someone else they wrong. And they don't know how to use a computer (meaning they not good with it)
my fault for them flogging me?
Basically, my sister is somewhat neglecting her dog. Not in any major way, he is well fed and he obviously gets to go outside 3 times a day to take a dump and pee.
But he isn't getting any real exercise, he seems a bit neurotic to me (licks everything and doesn't stop, he has a pillow that he licks for hours until it's soaking wet) and he's not well trained. Most of that is probably due to him being alone for most of the day.
I'm not sure what to tell her or if I should even bring it up. She's working all day and obviously tired when she gets home, but I really think she should go out with her dog for a run or something instead of "cuddling" with him in front of the TV.
like any other female dogowner
she is a shit
tell her and if you can, get her dog
give the doggie a good owner
>>18088728
I'm thinking about the consequences, obviously the dog would be even worse off at an animal shelter. No clue who would take it and I obviously can't take it away from her.
My girlfriend ignores me. I don't mean she doesn't talk to me or anything, but sometimes I'll be messaging her and she'll be reading the messages, but then she'll just start talking about her own thing.
I brought it up to her, and she knows she does it sometimes. She says sometimes she intentionally does it when I try to talk about something serious because she either doesn't know what to say or just wants to avoid it. But when I just want to talk about something I'm interested in it happens sometimes. She says she believes me, but doesn't realize she does it. I know she gets excited sometimes and gets in her own little world, and I humor that, but when it happens often for weeks it kinda builds up and gets frustrating/depressing.
It's not a matter of her not respecting my taste or my interests. When she doesn't feel talkative, she'll explicitly ask me to talk about things because she does like listening to me talk passionately about things when she isn't in the mood to talk. She also always asks for movie and music recs from me, so it's not like she thinks I'm lame or anything.
I know it happens because when she gets excited, it overwhelms her thoughts and she gets in her own little world. I totally understand that, and I think it's cute. I don't want to stop her, because then I know she's just waiting for me to finish talking so she can go on. I just don't like how ignored I feel when it happens. Maybe it's not a problem of hers at all, and just me?
>>18088704
Get her in check man. Call her out each and every time. Bring up to her that she probably wouldn't like it if you did it to her. As immature as the last step is -- give her a taste of her own medicine and actually do it to her.
She is self-centered and doesn't know how to be in a relationship. If she doesn't change and you want to break up, I suggest doing so. A long term relationship like that will make you miserable.
This is for my job, actually.
I've ignored social media for years because of a rather wretched family life and just having 0 time for it with studies and drama. Now, I'm in a field that requires knowledge of social media and I need to also be able to network since many of the clients and all that jazz are internet people anyway.
So, how do I really do that? I've gotten 5 followers on twitter in the past day and am trying to get to about 50 a week to start with.
As for instagram, I'm not ugly so I could probably get featured on a few pages but other than that, I am at a loss.
Are there any good books or articles on these subjects?
Forgot to add: I do mean GOOD articles. I don't want just bots and stuff like that.
>>18088698
>As for instagram, I'm not ugly so...
Strikes me curious as why you would mention this.
I have an insta following of almost 32,000.
I couldn't give two shits desu, I post probably once a week, if that. IRL I have a small circle of friends and trusted team-mates
Its ironic in a sense, I see all these young aspiring instagram models who put so much effort to get more followers, they try so hard for validation.
I must admit my initial base was by fluke, I was on holiday doing seascape photography and diving, and bumped into a top 10 world surfing champion while I was editing during breakfast buffet thing.
That's how I got my first 750+ or so followers about 2013-ish
I do alot of travel/ surfing/photography/ scuba diving/skydiving/ paragliding/flying generally lots of outdoorsy shit (apart from being hobbies, I get paid for it too)
So most of my photos are more nature - orientated, and it does have an audience, I've had a few featured on National Geographic, won a few competitions here and there.
My advice would be be sure its something you're passionate about. Every other insta is "fitness" related shit.
If you need to worry about followers you're not doing it right. if you need to network as part of you job, just leave it as that. Have purpose, I guess.
I don't really know how to answer you, its such a broad topic, but hey I hope it helps.
>>18089071
Oh and to add further, it gets irritating when people want to join you either on an outing and such, just so they tag you in one of their photos for likes and more followers. Like "fitness babes" who love surfing but dont actually surf.
Its just so disingenuous, you get sick of it real quick. no matter how good looking they are.
