I think I have a problem. Whenever I'm in a thread and someone posts moderately weird shit, and people spam negative reaction images, I tend to think against them and kind of defend the weirdo in question. In some cases I feel no empathy towards a victim of an event other anons care about. I think it's because I project myself as the enemy people hate.
What exactly is it?

Faggotry I would say.

Well if you're that triggered by what I typed instead of giving a clear answer then that makes you more of a faggot than me, it's funny because I'm a bisexual
I'm going to a girl's house today and there's a huge possibility of me getting my dick sucked. Should I get rid of the hair around my balls and below my waist? Does it matter? Is she likely to care?

Just trim it, no need to go crazy

How do you make friends once you're out of college?
I feel like I've made a monumental mistake by spending my high school and college years in front of a computer. At least it helped get that code monkey job.
>>17903426
you start at work and make your way out. if you're a code monkey you probably don't live in a small town, yeah, what city?
>>17903426
This is why i appreciate college. HS was just terrible.
Make new friends at community centers, meetup groups, skill building activities, etc.
I was thankful to finding a parkour group and making acquaintances who was down to chill... but being a lazy stoner faggot, i got lazy and chilled with other lazy niggers lel
No regrets, i can always return. Don't burn bridges
Churches are great if you are into that, (or desperate enough to pretend to be into that)
Looking for some advice on what path to take in life..
Right now and for the past 2 years my life has been in a total stand still.
I've wanted to get an apartment and a job but I've also wanted to simply get a van/truck and live on the road for a year or however long.. these two opposite lifestyles have been in my head for 2 years and I have not made a decision. I don't want this to be my 3rd year of unmotivated indecisive sad "existing"...
Any advice on how to accept a path and take it?
Being homeless and jobless just isn't working anymore. I was able to save some $ though so I do have a good amount of savings. I am just struggling with indecision and don't know what I truly want.
My girlfriend wants to move out of her parents place and get an apartment with me but apartments here are so fucking expensive (1400$ a month) and I don't even have a job at the moment because I hate the fact that I have to settle for some construction position that pays 10 an hour.. I just fucking don't know anymore.
Get a van/truck and live on the road for a year or however long then get an apartment and a job.
>Any advice on how to accept a path and take it?
Write down a plan with measurable results and timeframe then carry it out.
>I want to have my cake and eat it too
Make a choice or stop complaining, you don't get both.
>>17903395
flip a coin. make sure someones in the room to see you do it. then they hold you to it.
>>17903408
I always do that but end up hoping for the opposite of what comes up either way.
Hello guys!
I am MSc student and my course name is "Infection Immunity and Human Diseases". I finished my undergrad with 1st. I was considering PhD because I heard that after PhD you gett more jobs opportunities and jobs are paid much better. However I can see even now at my MSc I am not really into studying and I do not keep with revisions up to date, as I did during my undergrad. Furthermore I would prefere to focus more on myself, like earn some money already, work out more, travel a bit, buy a car etc. I would not mind if I was getting money for doing PhD tho. However is it really worth an effort, and are the jobs really that great after PhD when it comes to field of Biosciences.
>>17903358
>my course name is "Infection Immunity and Human Diseases"
Sounds like something that won't get you a job except in academia and research
>>17903358
Most phd jobs (in science) work like this.
They're very nice and the pay is great but the company can only afford about 1-2 positions so there's very rarely openings. When there is the competition is very high.
>>17903539
Well It focus on pathophysiology of cancer and other diseases, method of treatment and diagnosing. I would say it is good course for clinical settings.
Hey /adv/
I was depressed and nothing in life was going well from school to family stuff and then I fell in love with this one girl. After I started getting feelings for her life started getting better and I felt happy after the longest time. Love actually gave me meaning to life.
I fell for her since I actually thought I had a chance with her, she actually talked to me gave me her number and all that jazz but just like everything that ive done in my life I made a mistake by falling for her specifically. She hits on every guy and some days she goes from craving your attention to just shutting you out as soon as she finds another guy to play with she recently also started to wear a choker too (which is fukkin hot desu) dont know if that matters or not does it?.
Being in love with her was like being on a roller coaster with very little highs. I want out because I know I cant go on with her since she really doesn't care about me. The worst part is I see her everyday since she has the same classes as me and works at the same place as me and even when shes not there she always in my head and I cant stop thinking about her.
How do I get over someone I see everyday? How do I stop thinking about her?
Wew. Well at least you can be an example for the lesson of not dating where you work.
Anyway as long as she's in your life it's gonna suck. Only other advice I can give is find some other less skanky ho to spend your beta energies on.
>>17903247
>I fell for a thot and now I wanna get shot
This could be the start of a great poem
what next?
>>17903257
I dont wanna get with a another girl right no even if I did I don't think I would stay with her and I would probably end up hurting her
I should've mentioned she wasn't always like this don't know what happened but over the years she changed
So my friend recommended me Tinder and I gave it a shot, got more matches than I expected but cant start a conversation if my life depended on it.
How do you fucking do this shit
>>17903180
Learn what you can from the profile. ("What beach was your picture taken on?") . Have a nu,ber of things that people can always talk about ("Just finished watching "the Wire"..any recomendations for a DVD booxed set?") and LISTEN to the Answers ( "Hawaii, huh? When did you go there?" ; "Game of thrones...oh yeah, why do you rate it?") Dont talk about your self and actively listen ("I imagine that getting there was pretty cool"). Its not hard OP.
that's the fear to rejection, anon
It's alright, be yourself, the good thing about Tinder is that it allows people to find you attractive before talking to them, anything you say after will be either a turn on or turn off with no consequences. Experiment with it and see where it goes from there.
>>17903193
>friendzone 101
don't listen to him OP tinder is made for hooking up, some woman may deny this but all girls are on tinder either to hook up or to feel good about getting matches.
I basically open with a fun or cheeky one liner that has to do with her (look at pic or status). this nearly guarantees a reply and if u made a cheeky line u can already start flirting. if u couldn't think of a cheeky line u can still go to flirting but u just have to talk a little more, just try and edge the convo towards flirting and then ur in. also she liked u and its tinder so its not awkward to flirt or talk about sex
How do i get over my first love from when was 15 (2005 that lasted till 2009 ) 19. I didnt date anyone else
What should i start doing this new year so i won't be stuck in the same hole this time next year
>>17903160
Go out and get yourself laid. Fuck.
>>17903160
>How do i get over my first love
go for your 2nd love
what i did was end up dating gals that reminded me of my h.s. gf :)
its been 8 years and you havent got over a teenage romance? ouch
Is it bad if I only show empathy at random or when I feel like it towards strangers or fictional characters?
>>17903095
not really. i mean it has its downsides like anything.
It's weird, don't know about bad.
>>17903117
>>17903108
Yeah there are times where I feel forced to care about someone and something and I can't do it
How do i get into skateboarding?
>>17903091
Interested as well. Tried in hs, in college now
>>17903091
Get a skateboard, go to a really flat paved area and learn the basics.
Once your comfortable go to a skate park and do some sick ass tricks
I have a doctorate and work in HR at a small, local environmental nonprofit. I am in my thirties, married, and I have spent most of my life trying to make the world a better place.
This past year some horrible things have happened to me and to people I love. None of these things were deserved, or even predictable consequences of anyone's choices.
I want to live the next chapter of my life causing as much harm and misery to society as I can.
I am fairly successful and I have a family to care for, so I don't intend to do anything silly like committing crimes or quitting work.
My question, /adv/, is what can I do with my life, within the bounds of the law and society, that will cause the most suffering?
Things I've thought of: changing jobs to work for an insurance company in the claims department denying otherwise valid claims, or going to work for a bank in the recovery department to seize/foreclose on people's property and homes.
Ideas? What can one person do to make the world worse?
The most heinous jobs involve settlement funding (buying annuities for pennies on the dollar from poor retards who won them through injury suits and lying to the judge about what they'll use the lump sum for), payday loans (ultra-high-interest loans given to the ultra-poor that purposefully lead to a debt spiral), and collections.
>>17903054
>This past year some horrible things have happened to me and to people I love. None of these things were deserved, or even predictable consequences of anyone's choices.
Elaborate.
You could just grow up. I mean most people get over the fact that bad things have no rhyme or reason at the age of 18. How did you manage to get into your thirties while keeping a teenage girl's mentality is beyond me.
>>17903054
Become a campaign manager for the DNC.
I'm 23 and I've always felt like I've let other people make decisions for me. Is it perfectly fine to feel like you don't have complete control over your life?
>>17903022
I can relate. Few of the good things in my life have ever been brought forth by my own hand. It's not a nice feeling, but not necessarily bad as long as you don't become complacent and make them feel as though their efforts were wasted.
If you can go for more and you want to, more power to you. Doing things by yourself makes it easier to become more adventurous.
Feeling that way means you're aware of others' influence. That is a good thing. Let it motivate you.
>>17903022
You do have control over your life, but life has control over your circumstances.
Tell me the story of your life.

>I was born in 1992, somewhere in jersey.
>i dont know exactly what town
>we were a military family, dad was navy, so we left there before I was a year old
>we went to cuba and were there for some amount of time, I cannot recall, we left just as i started preschool
>my mother took us to puerto rico, my dad was still gone a lot overseas (which makes me wonder why we were on these foreign fucking islands)
>in puerto rico most of my early memories began to form
>i remember tons of nightmares and weird sleep patterns and trying to understand my father as i met him for what felt like the first time
>as a kid i would create very long elaborate stories for my action figures
>it would take me days or sometimes even weeks to finish my games, telling long over arching stories.
>piles of toys would be organized in the corner of the room, not touched for days, me planning to introduce the characters later in the story
>eventually, right before first grade, we moved stateside
>despite only living with us for two years now, my dad decided he needed to 'find himself' and suspected my mother of cheating
>instead of getting an apartment in town, he decided to take a year off from being a dad and purposely station himself in greece
>he convinced us he had no choice, but we later found out that this was a lie
>at this time i had dropped the action figures and instead played story based games with my friends. we had an ongoing game that lasted more than two years where we were posessed by spirits who gave us powers to fight evil ghosts.
>from there we moved to california, i was in middle school by this time and began to focus more on writing.
>i garnered a reputation as 'the weird kid' because i spent a lot of my time in the very small paranormal section of the library
>psychics, ghosts, aliens, all fascinated me very much.
>this is also when i started exploring my sexuality on the internet.
>>17902846
>from there we moved to guam, where i began highschool
>i shifted my focus from short stories to a novel
>i had 52 chapters planned, one for each week in the year of this character's life.
>my first chapter came out to be 50 pages.
>after some math i realized that this book would turn out to be 2,600 pages and that was much too long
>I realized that what I had on my hands was not a book, but the idea for a TV series.
>i transitioned into writing scripts at that point
>i created a few mini series ideas and wrote a few episodes, but every time I tried to make some one, something went wrong
>as a military child we moved a lot. and in addition to that, even if we stayed one play for a whole year, my friends who i cast in my show would likely move as well.
>at this point i switched over to an animation project
>i ended up going to 5 highschools over the course of 4 years, focusing on my animated show along the way this is where i learned the most about filmmaking
>when i turned 18 i signed up for film school and moved to los angeles, I got a great deal on a spacious two bedroom apartment in hollywood
>i continued to work on my animated series while attending filmschool.
>in 2014 i finally finished my animated series, six episodes that took about 8 years to complete (with two reboots along the way as i improved my craft).
>we were met with a lot of success, and still manage to get over 50 thousand views every single month to this very day
>we used to get 100 thousand but due to copyrighted music some of the videos are blocked.
>>17902859
>after completing htis series i immediately moved into making my own live action web series.
>my first attempts with this were disastorous. i went too big too soon
>by july of 2014 the money i had saved finally ran out and i needed to get a real job
>i applied for every entry level position i could find in an office
>i got hired to be a receptionist for a psychic
>the 'manager' at the office was caught masturbating at my work station several times.
>after an argument he rage quit (literally)
>one week later the psychic promoted me to his manager
>it was my first real job and i was already expected to run an entire business
>thankfully, running a business was a LOT like running a film project. all you had to do is know your goals, and plot out the steps
>over the next two years i managed to get him out of debt (he had lost 50 thousand dollars the year before I took over) and have even made him profitable
So my boyfriend broke up with me two weeks ago. His reasons is because he wants to flirt with more girls in his college lifetime and this is a lesson to teach me not to be so clingy (??)
We still live together because I legit have nowhere to go.
He told me that I'm allowed to flirt with other guys too. Whenever I tell him about this one guy who's been flirting with me you can hear the jealously in his voice. He tells me he's okay with it but it's obvious he doesn't like it.
I can't help but to feel guilty. I feel like I'm cheating on him when I'm not.
He said we might get back together one day, but I'm not ready for that.
Everyone is treating me like I'm a bad guy for talking to someone else right now. So am I? Should I just lay low?
That's an absurd situation.
>He told me that I'm allowed to flirt with other guys too
If you split up then he has no business telling you what you can and can't do. He's taking advantage of you because you have nowhere else to live. Grow some balls and tell him to go fuck himself.
Tell him either you get back together or you are going to fuck the other guy.
>>17902730
>>17902751
I've tried getting back with him but he said I "need to learn my lesson"
I'm also starting to like this other guy a lot.
Like I love my ex so much we were coming on to 3 years but I just have no idea how to feel. And all my "friends" are saying I'm acting like an idiot for being into a new guy.
