Alright, /adv/.

So, I'm mostly through the process of hiring as a 911 police dispatcher. The next (and one of the final) step in the process is undergoing an evaluation where I take a polygraph test. In this test, I'll be asked a huge number of questions, and one section of those questions is asking me if I've committed a bunch of different specific crimes. Thankfully, I can truthfully answer "No" to every single question, except for one that sits in a gray area.

"Viewing and/or possessing child pornography". How exactly do I explain away the fact that I've spent a considerable amount of time on 4chan, a website where neckbeards like to one-up each other by posting the most shocking things possible? I've seen people post child pornography (or at least what I think was child pornography) while scrolling through /b/. I've never sought it out. I've never possessed it. I've never pulled it up on my screen and intentionally viewed it. But I'd be lying if I said I've never in my entire life seen (what I think is) child pornography.

No matter what it is that I saw, I know what I THINK I've seen. And a polygraph is going to reflect that. Any advice on how I should proceed? Should I REALLY document, on paper, that I've "viewed or possessed child pornography", or should I explain myself when the polygraph picks up a "lie"?

Alright, so usually when Christmas comes around, everybody in my family gets gifts for each other, close relatives included.

For the past 5 or so years, however, we've been trying to break this cycle because it cost everybody too much money and it's a hassle to try and get everybody gifts that aren't crappy.

Basically, we've decided that nobody should exchange giftss. We decided to only get the very young children gifts. Everybody in our family is in agreement. Everybody except for my fucking aunt.

Every year that we've tried to put this agreement into effect has ended with my aunt deciding last minute that she wants to get everybody gifts.

She'll be all for the agreement until a week before christmas, and then she'll go out and start buying gifts, whilst asking everybody exactly what they want. This triggers a domino effect, where my mother then decides that she has to get everybody gifts just in case, and so she doesn't look bad. Then my other aunt does the same thing, and so on and so forth. Pretty soon we're all buying gifts for each other again to everbody's displeasure.

This year, we decided to do secret santa, hoping that it'll make my aunt happy by allowing her to still partake in gift giving without needing to buy everybody gifts. But lo and behold, my aunt today decided to announce that she's buying everybody gifts by nonchalantly asking everybody what they want for christmas.

Now, my mothers decided that she to needs to buy gifts. It's happened again and its really pissed me off this time because my mothers started thinking about all the money that she has to spend, and how all the gifts will be shitty because she hasn't got time to properly think about the gifts shes buying.

I've tried convining her to just stick with the secret santa, and to just let my aunt do what she wants, but she will not listen. Now i know for sure that everybody is going to jump on board again.

I'm going to be a dick and only buy a gift for the person i was assigned.

>Female classmate approaches me
>We talk for about 40 minutes
>Arrange a meet up the next week
>Talk for a good amount before she has to go
>Last day of class
>Meet her outside the class when she's done with her test
>We talk for a whopping 2 hours and 30 minutes but I never make a move
>She mentions that she's hungry
>Offer if she wants to go to the uni restaurant and she agrees
>On the way she sees her mom parked waiting to pick her up and has to leave
>We exchange emails because she has nophone
>Email her at around 7, address her by the name in her email which is clearly some male Sonic OC from when she was a kid _____ the _____
>12 hours later and she hasn't responded
I know it's unreasonable to expect a response this early but I have a gut feeling, that even though we both seem to like each other, she's going to ghost me,

How do I prepare myself if that happens? I feel like I'm down the path of heartbreak.

>then Bali for a month, before finally moving to Australia, back together with the boyfriend
>we texted some a couple of months ago, and we only exchanged nice words, but not since I told her I was dating other women

Last Sat I suddenly ran into her, and a bunch of close friends we got in common. She's pregnant.
She texted me, and it really put me off. She said she wanted to see me, but only if I didn't create any drama.

I told her off for treating me as if nothing had changed since February, and that the only drama we've ever had for the past six years, is because she keeps me on a distance because of ulterior factors, and that she should've invited me along on Saturday.

Was I in the right?

I'm a 33 year old seemingly normal junkie.

I have a loving wife, twin daughters and I'm a biochemist.

I started using ADHD medication to counter anxiety 7 years ago, starting on didrex I eventually made my way to adderal. Staying up for 3 days straight and sleeping 14-24 hours became my cycle, I used melatonin and a low dose of remeron to keep me asleep.
I'm a workaholic and spend the days with my family arriving to work at 10pm and leaving at 10am, I am easily the brightest in my team, I study stem cells, specifically trying to direct program embryonic stem cells in mice and analyzing the changes in those cells during reprogramming, so we actually know what they're doing, it sounds quick but it takes years.
I stopped trying to quit the medication once I realised my anxiety wouldn't go away.

Almost a year ago I started using desoxyn, my cycle is now anywhere from 3-7 days awake to 1-2 days asleep. I've been experiencing psychosis and auditory hallucinations every day. I wish I hadn't, My wife and team have noticed my unusual behaviour, which wasn't too unusual until now. desoxyn contains methamphetamine for those that don't know.

I've had 2 affairs this year, before this I had never slept with a woman besides my wife.

Should I eat another or send this link to my wife?

Last night I went out on a date with a guy for the second time. The first one went quite nicely, we got to know eachother (we met on tinder). The second one I'm not too sure.

We went to the movie theathre to watch Sing, eventually we held hands. He drove me back home and we kissed. I didn't really mean to kiss him on the lips, just on his cheek, but he leaned on me and it happened.
I didn't mind, but he wasn't sweet at all. In fact, he was quite aggressive, basically shoving his tongue in my mouth. It wasn't really my ideal first kiss with a guy, but whatever, I can get over it. The problem is that he tried to grope me and stick his hand in my pants multiple times, even though I resisted him. Eventually I just said I had to go and left the car.

How should I interpret this behavior? It looked like it really was the only thing he was interested in, and I feel kinda bad about it. Maybe I shouldn't have expectations for the second date but he looked like a really good person.
Thoughts?

How do you deal with all of the suffering in the world? Lately, it's been hitting me really hard that people are trapped in horrible life situations and they can't get out.

I saw a clip of an Asian woman sleeping with her white "husband" looking like she hated it. She looked like she was going to start crying. She was trying to get him off but he liked that it was upsetting her.

And it trickles down to human trafficking where humans are tortured to death. Somebody is probably chained up right now as we speak.

It actually makes me kind of nauseas to think about their suffering, and how they are feeling right now. I want to rescue them and just get them to safety.

I've never felt like this once in my life. I am almost finished with a business degree, but lately I've been wondering if I should dedicate my life to helping people out of these situations.

I don't mean help people in some worthless SJW liberal virtue signaling bullshit way, but actually be apart of a program or operation that saves these people. Gets them out, gets them housing, gets them work....

How do I teach her not to color in books?

I know taking away pens/crayons/books etc is one solution but I want her to be able to be able to have her crayons, color on paper and read her books. She can't read yet but she enjoys her books and is good to them except for the coloring in them.

Parents, how did you deal with your child [spoiler]ren[/spoiler] coloring in books/on the walls/etc?

I inherited a flat. It is too big for me so I rent two of the rooms.
My best friend asked to move in with me when one of my roommates moves out.

I have known her for 12 years, she is orphan and I am basically her family. I love her a lot.

Pros
>Very clean and tidy
>Does chores for me if I ask her to
>She motivates me to take better care of myself
>She motivates me to be more social

Cons
>Bad with money
>First time living alone
>Needs constant attention
>Overly emotional

Good or bad idea?
