hi,first time here,and i have something to ask,how do i build an habit? and after that,how can you stick to it? for my specific case,i would like to draw daily,but i always find myself not doing it,can you help me?

>>
Do you even like drawing, though?
>>
You literally just decide to do it.

It's called self dicsipline. If you are capable of making the decision to be a lazy cunt you are equally capable of being productive.
>>
Go to a club or something like that were all the people around you be drawing.

So, I received a new task in my english class. I'm supposed to write a letter to my manager that i want a higher pay. But i've gotten stuck on the first segment which is going to motivate the reader. The rest i can finish. So i would like to ask, how you would write a starting segment which would gain the readers attention?

It's a class in business english.

For that kind of thing you're supposed to write why you deserve to be paid more, IE how you exceed the normal expectations of your job. Since I'm assuming this is all hypothetical, make some shit up. Like you take leadership roles when you work on projects, find solutions to problems that go beyond your job description, meet goals above and beyond your duties, etc
>>
"Assume you have been working for a year at an industrial company. After the first year you discovered that you are paid less than others having similar duties or responsibilities. Write a letter to your manager and persuade him to raise you salary."

This was the scenario which i forgot to add.
>>
I presume that we can take any role of the company basically. I thought like a sub manager role would suffice.

Well find something else that might have worth in the world. The suicide hotline shouldn't be hanging up on people 2bh, that's weird.

Don't yearn for your parents' approval. Most parents are fucking idiots.

Anons,

I really want to move out of my parents and get a gf but I don't know how to do it without getting in debt and such stressful things.

Please give advice / share your experiences with me

Step 1: Get job that pays rent
Step 2: Move out and pay rent
>>
>>17962868

live within your means.

dont got a job? get one first. than save up enough to put down payments on where you want to live (most places require first and last months rent up front and/or security deposit) plus you'll need start up moneys for the basic furnitures and whatnot.

pick a place that you can afford. find out how much you make a month. if it varies, aim for your low average.

then look at where you want to live. can you afford your own room? or do you need to share a room?

as for food, you can save money by shopping at smart and final or somewhere similar. a pound of non-red meat costs less than a 1.50 and will make up the bulk of your dinner.

have questions? ask.
>>
You have the wrong priorities.

Sure, a gf is nice, but it's not a priority. Focus on your career. Make money, look nice, get your own place, and you'll get gf's no problem.

Do you have a degree or certificate of any kind? If not you should be focusing on achieving that first. If you meet a girl during that time, cool, but if not whatever. Money comes before women, always.

She just came out of the closet to me 2 days ago. We have been together for 1 year. I am actually gay too, so I came out of the closet as well. We talked about it the whole night, it was a very deep and meaningful conversation. Somehow, we ended up having sex afterwards, literally, the best sex I have ever had in my life. Next morning, I just keep staring at her while she sleeps, and realize that I truly love her. I still like guys though... she is an exception.

I don't want her to leave me... I am just not sure if she feels the same way about me. confused :S

So one of my shift managers keeps giving me the finnish courtesy tango about that time I asked leave from work because I was too tired and hung over to work.

Long story short, I had a night few hours too long one time between christmas and new year's, and when my alarm blared at 5 AM I'd scarcely slept a few hours and I was still more drunk than hung over.

I somewhat managed at work for 3 hours before giving in and admitting to myself that I can't freaking go on another 5, and asked for the leave for the rest of the day, which he granted, asking if I had some way to get home safely (translation: you're not going to drive reeking that much like whiskey), which I did as I only have a walk to work.

The next time we were on the same shift he inquired if I got my sleep schedule in order and I admitted to doing so, saying how I really need to do better with them. The standard 'I-know' and 'I-know-that-you-know', which is all fine and well and up to the etiquette.

But then he brought it up again today, a 'hey-remember-that-I-remember' in the same polite tone. I did answer accordingly, also letting him know I have some preparations for if and when I lose this job, but I have no damn clue what he'd be up to. It's been weeks and I haven't done any kind of a repeat offense, and whatever proof he has consists without doubt of my word against his.

What would a grown-ass man choose to be petty for? Why loom this over my head when I have aknowledged that I fucked up and made my reassurances that it won't happen again?

Sounds like he's just trying to remind you in a threatening to get your act together. Some people just don't know how to manage without being an ass.
>>
>>17962811
Hopefully. I mean, he knows the dance, and has probably has noted that I know it high-heels-and-backwards, but bringing it up after the situation's settled is just rude, and making it a threat just stupid unless you've got something in your sleeve, and the reek of booze doesn't show up on security cameras.
>>
>>17962787
Because you sound like a shit employee and he probably wants you gone. Why put up with someone who comes in late and drunk when there's a lot of hard working deserving people out there that could use a job? Not too mention how embarrassing for the company to have some dirty stinky drunk represent who's mouth probably still reeks from joe blows cock from the bar the night before. Get your shit together and grow up. Welcome to the real world. You're not special. You have to work hard and be responsible to be special.

I'm somewhat productive and sucessful.

I had a jod (in a hotel), a car, my own house, friends, girlfriend, my dog and i go to dance class, the gym (eat healthy thanks to this), college (law school) and always to a night club in the weekend with some friends.

When the clock it's on 10 p.m. i start reading a book (Herman Hesse and GGM) and if i get bored of the book i play videogames (only one or two hours).

I'm a little bad at english too, sorry for that

Whatever, i want to know what would you ad to this routine, one of my hobbies is draw my tattoos but i don't do it anymore because i want somebody more proffesional.

What would you ad?

It sounds like some sort of art class would align with your interests, either one offered through a college or online

>art class
I like it, gonna give it a try anon, i draw sometimes and i learn guitar and drums when i was young (i don't use it anymore, just for decoration) but what do you recomend?
>>
>>17962814
Since it sounds like that's what you're interested in I bet there are some tattoo-specific art classes out there. Maybe even just a normal drawing class or two too. If you're not into a class for a classes sake you can always find a project to do as well, like working on some art for your apt or making something as a gift for someone

Not a NEET but been living with my parents my entire life, I'm 20 now. Usually been fine, after I got my AA degree, father has been much more aggressive, woke up today to be berated about my weight which he's done before but never this insultingly, and yelling to work more hours at work which is impossible as I work part time and am working the max number of hours possible. After that he cut off all Internet at home and when I confronted him and told him he's been making me feel like shit when he does this he told me to be a man and grow up. I want my dad to be happy/proud of me but he's always an asshole and it's near impossible to please him no matter what I do. I'm 20 years old and he still punishes me and treats me like a child. I'm planning on moving out for university in a few months, but as it is now living here is hell. What do?
TL;DR: I know, it's a long fucking post
Dad treats me like shit what do

i dunno man try not being fat, working full time, and not living with your parents in your 20's.

college is for faggots. My daddy didn't go to no college and neither did I.

I work full time, live on my own, and I'm not fat and my dad have a couple brews every weekend watching the game, see where you're going wrong?

And don't think I don't have experience.

My dad used to hate me too.

I was fat, and played too much WoW, and didn't work, and lived with my parents.
>>
How fat are you? Do you do anything outside of the bare minimum? Hobbies etc? You might spend too much time doing fuck all.

I have someone I know that's between an acquaintance and a friend. Not quite either but in the middle of the two. She posted something like this on snapchat, but some snapchat filter with a cartoon girl and a paper saying "Wanna go out with me"

The thing is, she put it on her snap story for everyone to see. It's been a day and it seems it wasn't by accident, as it would've been deleted

If a girl you know does exactly this, is she offering anyone to go out with her or someone specific? Girls are fucking weird and I am leaning towards the fact she's trying to be subtle about it towards someone else she knows

How harmful is smoking pipe? Can it cause the same diseases as cig smoking or is it slightly better?

ive heard slightly better. however slightly better is still pretty fucking awful.

As bad as a cigar if you don't inhale. Worse than a cigarette if you do.

Also wtf why do you want to both look like a neckbeard and hurt yourself?
>>
>>17962641
According to studies it's magnitudes less carcinogenic than cigarette or cigar smoke.
Still not good for you, still causes cancer, and still screws up your lungs.
That said, there was a large scale study done on tobacco use and life expectancy. All tobacco products resulted in a significant decrease in life expectancy, except for pipe smokers, who had an average of four years greater life expectancy than non-tobacco users.
This probably isn't due to any health benefits of pipe smoking itself, and is likely a result of the people who smoke pipes being wealthy - which would skew the results in favor of a higher life expectancy anyway.
If you're going to smoke, smoke a pipe, but it's probably not a good idea.

Anons, how do I tell somebody that life has felt damn near empty without them? I've been moving through progress with what is arguably my dream job, but I just don't feel any further enjoyment than being able to tell my parents and friends that "I did good today" or "aww hell yeah, military let me do something cool today". Without -HER-, nothing ever felt the same. I was with her 3 years and then shit got fucked up between the both of us. After 2 years of little to no contact, I don't want to come barging back into her life, but at the same time I'd take her back in a heartbeat. Fuck do I do? This thought is tearing at the back of my mind and keeping me awake.

nope, smart opinion. if you're pining over a girl for 2 years you need to get your shit together
