Show up on time, don't make waves, and do everything you're told to. That alone can make you an exemplary employee.

I've been in your position before. You'll get used to it after two weeks.

If it's that hard for you it shows you have no interest and maybe should look at other things.

Or you're just a lazy shit. The only cure for that is pic related.

Imagine coming in on the first day of class, trying to re-add the same class that you just failed with the same professor. You couldn't add it normally because grades are posted after the regular registration date. So the teacher looks at your form and just sighs. Trust me, that's a real shitty feeling and situation.

You're a woman, you'll be fine.

Women are victims by default in present-day society, so they always get a free pass at everything.

Also, it looks like you're a real, honest to God victim, so you'll get double the sympathy.

I am bored out of my mind by the miles of suburbia and parking lot scenery. It will take me a while to get the credentials to move abroad. In the meantime where should I move in the US? Or Canada?

I've been looking at the Midwest, Hawaii, Colorado and Portland. I really want to experience another culture before I leave the USA forever which is why I'm eyeballing snowy Wyoming even though I fear I might be bored out of my mind and as a fedora with a diploma I might not enjoy talking to the fundies expect to meet.

If you are bored in southern California, you will be even more bored in the Midwest. There is literally nothing to do. In Cali u can go outside every day of the year and there are plenty of things to do outside. In the Midwest its fucking corn, grass, trees, and hicks

I am not a social butterfly, more of a NEET really who doesn't fit into the shallow materialism here. There honestly isn't much to do where I live except shopping, trying new restaurants, or driving an hour to the beach which I have seen hundreds of times. I am hoping the Midwest will have more meaningful conversations too. I might even be able to dive into books in scenic places or get into Astronomy, because look at this, light pollution means no stars to look at tonight, as usual, just airplanes.

How can I get sex on the first date?

Okay, obviously there are going to be some women who would never fuck on the first date, but let's say I'm dating a woman who would be willing to do so under the right circumstances. What are some good pointers/advice/tips/etc on what I can do to get it there?

I don't care that much for the answer, I'm not desperate for sex. Just curious.

The only time I've had sex it was on the first date and I wasn't even planning on getting with her. Probably pretty naive of me since we were watching shit on Netflix but I went down on her and she was all like "fuck me" so I yolo'd it.
>>
>>17788449
So just yolo it?

That's a pretty universal answer

It's not that hard, just invite her to your place and do it.

hey /adv/

My boyfriend of 6 years is more conservative, I'm a liberal. For years this hasn't been big deal for either of us. However, recently he's been spouting out opinions that go way beyond just being conservative opinion and go into "what the fuck" territory:

He believes

--If a woman gets pregnant she should be forced to give birth and raise the child as punishment for being a whore
--If a gay kid comes out to their parents and they send him to gay camp, he deserves it because he chose to come out
--that emotions are flaws and should be corrected
--Anything you feel is your fault (including emotional abuse)
--Men who get aids should not be allowed treatment because they knew the consequences when they had sex
--suppressing your feelings is a good thing and that "being yourself" is selfish

All of these views are under his thought of "everyone should be accountable for their actions." I agree with personal accountability but these just seem way off and frankly disturbing. Since I really do care about him I've been kind of ignoring these opinions since everything else in our relationship is okay. However, sometimes he'll bring them up and I'll get angry all over again.

All of these opinions have been coming out over the last few months and I'm disgusted. I tell him that his opinions are so out of line with mine and extreme, but he gets defensive and says "I respect your opinions, why can't you respect mine." He goes on to say that "they're just my opinions, they shouldn't matter. What matters is how I treat you." And it's true...he treats me nice and we get along. It's just these opinions that are alarming to me. Am I hung up on ideals?


Tell me /adv/. Are his views really as extreme as I think? Should I just respect his opinions and keep quiet? What do you think of this situation? Thanks.

>Are his views really as extreme as I think?
If only that. They are simply fucking retarded and disconnected from reality.

> What matters is how I treat you.
This is true but so far you probably never were in a situation where he could act on his views.

>Should I just respect his opinions and keep quiet?
Should you respect the opinion of somebody who thinks that gravity is reptilian people propaganda? Fuck no. You can mostly avoid discussing that shit for now but if you're somehow serious about the relationship and even consider getting married and having kids together, his views will become a major problem.
>>
>>17788367
He sounds like some normie who has seen to many memes as of late.

If a women is pregnant she should have it, but not be forced to raise it.
Being gay isn't wrong
We as society are being overly sensitive to everything. He seems to think that he can change it by going full autismo.
While somewhat true, it also sends up the "I'm a sociopath" red flag
Anyone sick for anything should be able to pursue treatment, just don't force others to pay for it.
Being outright emotional isn't always the best way to go about things, but don't just bottle them up forever. Use common sense and know where and when to "release" your feelings.

He sounds like a edgelord/sociopath who is showing his new colors because of memes and shit he has read online.

I just started a new job at a leisure centre and half our customers are disability support groups

I have never had much to do with the handicapped, and I'm not really sure how to approach the whole thing

we have low function autists moving around all our equipment constantly

often the carers struggle to stop them wandering around unsupervised, and they bother the regular patrons

frequently they will make requests, and their carer will veto them
yesterday a disabled person asked for a glass of water, and their carer told me not to get it
what the hell am I meant to do there?

what's the best way to excuse yourself from a rambling conversation?
yesterday I had a girl list ever fact she knew about orca whales

>yesterday a disabled person asked for a glass of water, and their carer told me not to get it
>what the hell am I meant to do there?

You don't get it. The carers generally have reasons behind their rules. I know a couple guys who work that kind of job. I don't know what reason they would have for not wanting their client to have a glass of water specifically, but I do know that such individuals often try to sneak food that goes against their dietary restrictions, particularly when dealing with a new person.

>what's the best way to excuse yourself from a rambling conversation?
>yesterday I had a girl list ever fact she knew about orca whales

I'm not 100% sure, but I'd guess that with autists, it may be best to be as literal as possible. Some are incapable of understanding social nuance. So a strong hint like "That's great and I'd love to talk about it later buuut [insert excuse here]" will not be construed as you obviously lying to be polite, but an actual expression of you wanting to talk about the thing. Something more like "I cannot talk now. I will now [do thing], and I would rather not talk while doing [task]." may seem cold, but would possibly be better.
>>
>>17789180
Agreed. It will almost certainly not be construed as impolite to just say you don't want to talk. It is actually more impolite to give a false condition for you talking like "I'd like to but when I'm done with X," when you don't want to hear, because it's a lie ("white" lies are not a thing for most autistic people) and the person isn't able to figure it out so they'll feel misled and confused.

Just say you don't feel like talking about it. The person will probably look mildly disappointed and say "Okay," or maybe they'll just say "Okay."

By the way, I'm a wheelchair user, so if you have queries about courtesy for that side of disability I can try to help.

Can you all fellow uncut anons pull your foreskin all the way down your shaft?
I can only pull a little bit after the head is revealed, and the foreskin kind of "curls up" at that point, it is not a smooth shaft all the way to the tip if it makes sense.

Is that normal? Should I get that checked?
It's not phimosis for sure, the short frenulum is the cause but I never experienced any pain from it (still a virgin tho)

Getting kind of paranoid about it lately

I don't know what to do so I hope someone here can help me out. I have a son who is 9 months old. He's a healthy baby and for the most part everything is good. However, the problem I feel he has is crying for attention. I noticed that every single time he cries, even for a second, his mom picks him up and he stops. Right now I tried feeding him cause she said he is hungry. He didn't want to eat and started crying so I left him alone. Now, I feel that picking him up every time he starts crying is enabling him to act like that. I don't want to be that family one or two years from now that has to step outside of a restaurant every time we eat because or son can't calm down on his own unless his mom picks him up to comfort him. Idk if I'm being a bad parent but I just want my kid to get used to calming down on his own when something doesn't go his way. I know babies cry for a reason and if it's not hunger or tiredness and he's not sick then I feel at that point he's crying because he's used to mom grabbing him. So every time this "attention cry" happens I sit by him and wait for him to calm down. I let him know that I am there for him by sitting there and allowing him to feel my presence, I just don't feel it's okay to pick him up when he starts yelling like a madman. This in turn, causes an argument between me and his mom. She then runs in and picks him up and starts saying that I have to pick him up. I try to explain to her my reasoning for letting him cry it out. It then goes through one ear and out the other. This then makes me seem like a bad parent in my son's eyes. And his mom is his great savior. I'm sick and tired of her not listening to me. I've reached the point where I no longer know what to do. Can someone please give me some help or advice?

9 months is pretty much too young for the lesson you are trying to teach

Stop worrying about what may or may not happen from this. How else is this child supposed to express his unhappiness, or needs, or discomfort???
>>
>>17788304

Babies require attention and comfort, that's sort of their thing. Especially when they're too young to walk on their own or to speak. They're entirely dependent on crying as means of communication, so ignoring it is somewhat cruel. This only becomes an issue is continues once he grows a bit and starts throwing tantrums as a toddler. Those are good to ignore, because by then he should be old enough to express what he wants in other more eloquent ways.
>>
There's a lot of different theories on this and I have yet to see any definite studies regarding it in terms of later child development but making sure you acknowledge the child and saying that it's ok and letting them cry for about 5 minutes is ok. Then after those 5-10 minutes irregardless on whether they stopped crying you should pick them up and comfort them

How to explain this to your wife idk man. Find a baby book that recommends it

I am a 18 year old male virgin who has never had a girlfriend.I also have no friends. I just think about what could be going on in my life. I have like 20 contacts in my phone and 90% of these contacts I have completely forgot about. I have social anxiety and all I do is listen to joy division and the smiths all the time. I'll occasionally watch a movie or tv show. Pretty everything I do is isolating. It has recently become harder to enjoy anything including isolating activities. Does life get better or should I end it?

How can I motivate myself to clean my room? I normally only do it when I know a girl is coming over, but this wont happen for atleast another month and I would really benefit from cleaning my room.

I just dont know how to muster the effort

Schedule it. Tidying up a couple times a week (pick best days and times of day for you) and a proper clean up once a week (weekend works well for this). Stick to this schedule. every. fucking. week. Make it a habit. If you let yourself slip up, it's easy to fall back into old habits. No one is "motivated" to clean, you just gotta do it and it's easier to get it done if you feel like you have to. Schedules are good for that. At least this helped me to control the chaos in my place.
>>
Also categorize

Do clothes for 45 minutes one day, dirty dishes for 45 minutes another day, etc. Put on a really good album you haven't heard in a long time, or indulge yourself to some GOAT artist you've never taken the time to listen to before, and make cleaning your room an adventure! As you clean your room, the insides of your soul is mirroring the effect, and you will have a shiny new life!

Most of the nerve endings are in the first inch or two. And even if your dick is smaller than that(hint: it's not), your tongue is the same size as anyone's. Some girls are size queens, most just want good sex of any sort.

Wherever you're deficient you need to make up in another area

That means money looks or otherwise

7" tends to be the preferred amount but 5" will do in most cases without it being an issue

Could be. The US is pretty generous to ex-mil, and it can be a good way into a job long-term. Hell, you might decide you like it and go career. Really depends what you want to do with your life, though. Also, how /fit/ are you? It's not 1968 any more, they don't just take anyone with a pulse.

Why the marines

I hear the navy and air force are good if you want an easier time and you get to travel

My dad worked on planes for the air force and now he gets a bunch of shit for free

It's a smart alternative to college
>>
>>17788249
Depends. If you major in certain things. If you major in Gender Studies, Journalism, Philosophy, Communications, etc. then yeah it's probably a waste of money. If you major in Science, technology, engineering, math, economics, business, you're better off.

You could join the Marines and get your college paid for, but only if you're willing to do that for four years.

Step 1: Know what a prime factor is.

Step 2: Determine if p and q are prime factors.

Step 3: Determine the remaining prime factors.

Alternately, look this fucking stuff up yourself. Seriously, there are many high quality websites dedicated to teaching arithmetic, which is what this is.
>>
>>17788390
>>17788288
>>17788246

You know, I was rude. You waited a respectable amount of time before bumping. So I'll do the first one for you:

I'm going to assume p and q are prime.

We want to know the prime factors of (20)pq^2. The prime factors are the prime numbers that divide the number. Immediately we can see that p and q divide the number, so there are two immediately.

Next we need to know which prime numbers divide 20. 20=5*2*2, so 5 and 2 divide 20 and are prime, so they are the prime factors of 20.

So the prime factors of 20 are 2, 5, p, and q.
>>
>>17788413

For part B, you need to rewrite the number as a product of its prime factors. So (20)pq^2 = 5*2*2*p*q*q = 5*(2^2)*p*(q^2).

For part C you really need to understand the definitions, so I can't help you too much with that without being there.

Good luck!
