Im a kat. crist.
can ur give me any advice?
how does a islamic funeral differ from kat. christ. funeral.
how do i handle the situation in the mosk? should i pray the way i was teacht to pray or should i look for a place on the side and just pray in my inner mind? will there only be man the hole time? (a female frind of mine died.) Her famaly is turkisch mom alerviet dad shied or suni not sure.
thanks, guess 4chan is a stupit place to ask but i dont now a better on right now..

Fuck it, just go and do not pray at all. Sit in peace and get over it, also listen to some gorillaz after that.

I thought you people weren't allowed to enter temples of idolatry
I don't have any experience playing instruments, but I want to learn something while I'm still young. I'm torn between a bass or cello, what do you guys recommend?
>>17859814
I have played string instruments for about 12 years now(school orchestra's etc., but nothing career wise, just hobbies), both are great instruments, but each have their pros and cons. It really depends on what you like, I played violin because I always enjoyed the higher pitch range that was associated with the smaller instruments. A cello and bass are lower pitch, notably the bass naturally. I think it really depends on what music interests you, for it can be reflected in the instrument(IE; cello of Yo Yo Ma or the swing bass of 50's rock and roll haha). I hope I could at least give some insight into the thought process!
>>17859814
Electric bass is the easiest and most accessible.
An upright bass is more expensive and a bit trickier to learn and play one. The electric has frets so that you can see what note you're playing, an upright is fretless so you'll have to go by intuition and/or experience. That said you can always start with an electric and cross over to the upright with ease.
Cellos are cheaper than upright basses, but is slightly harder to learn, especially if you are going to be self-taught. Also bow technique etc. You'll also be less likely to get to play gigs with the cello if that's something you're considering. Most people start playing cello from like 10, and they clog up most of the spots in orchestras. Plus theory is a bitch

Thanks for your thoughts, definitely helpful!
If a girl:
-is happy when she sees you
-laughs at your jokes that make other people look at you like (pic related)
-reaches out and grabs your arms when she laughs
-actually says that your funny, something you would never say about myself
-rests her head on your shoulders
-occasionally comes out for a smoke break with you even though she doesn't smoke, and also wants you to stop smoking
Do these things mean anything? What if she also:
-generally finds lots of things funny
-hugs other guys
Do these things mean anything? Help, I have no idea what I'm doing
I know one really cool psychological trick to find out if a girl wants to date you.
Ask her out
>>17859808
Yes, she likes you - think of it from her perspective: she wants to be intimate with you and spend time around you and so subconsciously attempts to minimize any potentially awkward situation that arises (for example, laughing at unfunny jokes). Hugging other guys could be any mans guess, though I know girls who have gone out with a man and still had genuine friendships with other guys where hugging was the most intimacy.
Word of advice, go and ask her, nothing bad can come of it and you've only got around a couple weeks to a month before she loses interest (as she will come to believe that you are indifferent about her).
So I feel I am massively behind in life.
When I was younger there wasn't a day I recall where I was left alone from potential bullying which caused me to essentially shut down and shut out life in my highschool years. I first became a recluse at these years.
When I entered my first time into college my physical health degradation led to mental health degradation as years upon years of elusiveness turned into depression where I was diagnosed by a professional around age 20. It was in the traditional sense where I just shut out all sensations and emotions. While I was prescribed something super strong at first, eventually it was documented as a failure of dosage as it turned my major depression into manic bipolar. Finally at age 21 I cut off medications cold-turkey as I was sick of the continuous chemically numbing sensations that just made me "not me".
At age 22 is when I flunked out of college because I just couldn't get my shit in gear. This is when I entered the workforce as a temp and worked everything from food processing to carpentry. After impressing a few folks from a randomly-submitted resume I managed to land an office position simply by making a fledgling insurance agent feel consoled and comforted. For two years I worked in the insurance industry before deciding I wanted to go back to college and seek a professional route of either environmental toxicology or just to teach/counsel (a suggestion by my grandmother and mother).
**comment too long**
Once again, by random dumb luck throwing my resume out I managed to land a job with a tutoring company the moment I said I was any sort of math/science major. They were literally that desperate for work to hire me without qualifications. I've been with them for a year now and make a rather nice $24 an hour (even if the hours are less) while I now work at a low-risk weekend office position (granted for much less). At the tutor company they say I'm one of the better ones and pair me with quite a few high-income families. (only making me feel more behind as sad as it sounds) These are the types of families that don't even bat an eye to drop me a $60 tip for a short-notice plan, one even so much as dropped $25,000 on the largest hour package they could find without a care in the world.
After seeing my grades hit a decent peak of mostly B's, after all the self-improvement I've done (nearly lost 40 pounds to the dot as well as picked up more hobbies that aren't video games), I just feel so goddamn behind in everything. I feel like I will never catch up with anyone. I feel that all I'm doing is a band-aid fix to the fact that my life is fucked and will forever be fucked because of how much I have yet to do and how late I'm starting.
So help me out here, /adv/, am I truly fucked? Am I behind beyond measure? Is everything I do truly wasted behind the late years of start? Am I simply just biding my time to seem 'useful' before I expire?
Thanks.

stop thinking about where you are relative to other people. all that leads to is a life of hating yourself.
the top two directors in hollywood both think that the other director is miles ahead of them.
think about where you are, where you want to go, and whats the next step to doing that. then do it.
>>17859807
But that's the thing, it seems everyone my age at least has a damn degree.
My cousin is even married, my brother (4 years younger) is almost done with his electrical engineering degree. Everyone has all this ground on me, I feel like some odd side-show attraction.
What's a good method for suicide that doesn't involve a gun?

jumping off a tall building. its fast, painless, and a lot of fun.
but if your response is
>there arent any buildings near where i live
than you're just out for attention. we get asshats like you every week (probably the same asshats each week) who ask this question and then insist it would be easier to just live indefinitely than travel six hours to jump off a building.
another great response is
>i heard about one guyt who survived a short fall and i dont want that to be me
tl;dr just do it.

My bf has been distant and stuff lately barely texts me whatever doesn't spend a dollar on me for like two months blah blah
This guy I work with invited me out with his friends today and I really wanna go. All I do is work and go to UNI and I just thought it would be nice to go out and have fun for once
I told my bf and he said if I went he would breakup with me.. But he won't hangout with me tody, I asked him if I could hangout w him and his friends then and he said yeah but he acted weird about it so I'm obviously not going since he doesn't want me there. He's just been weird lately (I don't think he's cheating... But he's too distant/Indepdent Ina relationship)
I told him I won't go but I realy want to anyway...idk what to do. I'm not gonna cheat on him or anytnknf I just wanna have some fun and I deserve it
What should I do
>>17859737
Don't lie to him. Just tell him he's being ridiculous and you're going to the party. If he dumps you over this, the relationship was doomed anyway. Sounds like it's already in the downhill stage
Sounds like you need to either sit down and duke it out wit him, verbally of course..
or move on? It's obvious there is something that is not working.
>>17859744
It is in the downhill stage but Idon't know if I'm ready to be dumped and then have it all be my fault and deal
With all the blame
What's a good Master's Degree to get once I get my BSc in Math? If it helps, I want to make good money and I'm into computers and design.
>>17859695
if you want to be a programmer then why waste your time with a math degree ?
if you want to be a math wiz & make $$ then you a masters in math will help bigly or else you could teach h.s. or something
some math wizs make serious $$ on wall street stocks those companies hire them but you have to move to NY
can you take programming classes with your math degree ?
otherwise idk
>>17859695
I'd imagine statistics would pair well. They make good money too from what I've heard.
>>17859715
Math is more versatile than CS that's why I took a Math degree and I can learn programming on my own.
How often do you experience relationship problems with your partner?
Did you break up with the person you are now happy with?
It would be helpful for me to hear your stories. Thanks a lot for every entry.
+: is it a no-go for you to visit ones ex girlfriend at home without telling your partner about it?
we had a minor drama once and we are dating since 1,5 years. funny enough, the drama was about him still being in contact with his ex, so a big no from me to your second question.
>How often do you experience relationship problems with your partner?
Minor problems every week, larger problems every 6 months or so.
>Did you break up with the person you are now happy with?
No
>+: is it a no-go for you to visit ones ex girlfriend at home without telling your partner about it?
Absolutely no go. Without a extremely good reason for it, I'd break up
It would be helpful for me to hear your stories. Thanks a lot for every entry.
Not very often. Maybe once every couple months we might have a small issue, but it usually gets resolved right away.
Nope, haven't broken up. After my last relationships I would never date someone I broke up with again. It's just dumb. You already know you don't work. Might as well find someone new.
Visiting an ex at their home is a huge red flag and if they didn't tell me about it, I would probably break up with them or at least consider it. They weren't up to anything good.
Ill keep it short. What are the typical skills, persona and look of a politician? Needless to say, I want to become one
Corruption and hypocrisy.
>>17859675
Mostly sociopathic qualities
Manipulation, lies, exterior charm
A good smile helps
It's all about people and being able to use them to your agenda
>>17859675
Manipulation, and abilities to read people.
Any Bipolars here? How functional are you and how do you cope?

Oh hey, this might be promising.
So my gf is bipolar. She's been getting flipping out more and more with me lately. She insists on never taking meds, and often says she's suicidal but won't tell her therapist. What can I do to be a better bf to a girl with bipolar?
I am thinking of just spilling my guts to a woman I liked but cut contact with.
I cut contact because she friend zoned me and I couldn't bear to be around her but it be with her you know? She was actually one of my better friends. And I cut contact and feel guilty. I never expressed how much I really do like her. She is so far the only woman I have been around where I could just be myself. The guilt eats me every night before bed.
What can I do to make the guilt stop? It's been 4 months so far.
You did the right thing. You only protecting yourself from getting hurt and possibly from expecting more.
Protip: Don't tell her your real reasons for cutting contact. If she asks, you've been busy doing things important to you (not a lie, since you've been busy protecting yourself)
Do and say things that she will appreciate. Just hit her up and tell her your reasons for thinking about her (you saw something that reminded you of her,) and IF she responds positively, you suggest to catch up one day.
If you're okay with being friends, be a friend, if you still want her, build attraction and fucking kiss her.
>>17859668
I understand. I just feel really like sad because I still remember when I could see her. It's easy to cut contact but you can't cut memories. I just feel like I will never find another like her. The thought is souk crushing.
I shouldn't text her at all right?
I need to know if these are real, got from Amsterdam 13g
>>17859651
jeez, never seen stems like that on any batch of shrooms I've gotten.
>>17859651
First thing you gotta do is take them and put them on a scale. A bathroom scale won't have the proper resolution, you're gonna need a scale that measures in grams. Depending on the quantity, you might be able to get away with a kitchen scale.
Next, you should immerse them in water in a graduated cylinder, and then verify a change in the total volume contained therein.
If both of these measurements are positive, then you can confirm that those are, in fact, real mushrooms.
>>17859657
You had dried ones
What's going on /adv/. So here's my situation:
>own 2005 Subaru Legacy
>rack and pinion is wearing away, need repairs
>that plus a few other repairs will cost a total of $2,200
>need my car for work
>only have $1,000 stashed away for emergencies
>asked for loan from bank, they deny because I'm a young fag who doesn't have credit
>don't have credit card, but getting one will take 7-14 days
I have a steady job, but I won't have the money for repairs for about 1-2 months. With the auto issues, I'm not sure how long my car will last. What's a good way to get cash quick?
>>17859625
Perhaps you should just buy a jalopy that functions for the money you have now, or public transport. Buses aren't that bad
I worked in a subaru shop for 2 years as a lube boy in high school. We had a motto: if you take a 1k car and do 2k in repairs, you just have a really expensive 1k car.
But for easy cash, sell coke and be a prostitute. Problem solved. In fact, just quit your job--you'll make more on the street anyway.
>>17859636
Actually I have anothr better idea than whoring yourself put. Sell the car to the shop--many small subaru repair places will buy broken cars from you. Take the remainder and buy a slightly worse car.
>>17859641
That seems like more trouble than its worth. If anything, I'll just wait for the credit card so I can pay for it. I just hate waiting.
Let's have a thread for sex related questions that don't deserve one. Similar to the "Ask the opposite gender anything", but sex related
Anything goes, no matter how stupid or hard it sounds, just ask away
>>17859598
How do I tell my bf I want to fuck his ass with a strapon?
>>17859604
Start slowly showing your dominance in bed. Slowly talk to him about ass play and prostate orgasms, and/or how you'd like to fuck another girl with a strap-on. From there you can make small jumps towards fucking him with one.
>>17859604
Assuming you would be or are already down with him fucking you in the ass, tell him how good it feels. I can say, as a het male, anal stimulation is good. It can offer a man a new and entirely different sexual pleasure; it can be really intense.
Many guys have a homophobic hurdle to clear. He has to get past the "isn't it gay" question. And of course, it isn't. It is no more gay than when he fucks your ass. Which if you want to do to him, you are down to receive, too, right?
Full on pegging may be a bit too much to start with. Has he ever masturbated anally, even? Get him to let you use your fingers; get his consent and incorporate it into giving him head. Get him to masturbate himself or you anally. Work up from fingers to toys, to vibrating toys; I never tried that, sounds fun.
While you talk about the, hopefully, less intimidating ways to do anal, it is ok to tell him you have a fantasy about pegging him and it makes you really wet, and if he could get comfortable and make it happen for you, he would become, like, your sexual superhero.
Is this Xanax?
