A few days ago, I asked a similar question in here.
After that, I found a new question.

(a) "The computer is no less important an invention than the engine."
The sentence is rewritten as:
(b) "The computer is as important an invention as the engine."

in (b), the first "as" agrees with "important", so "important" comes in front of "an invention".
I understood that.

But I doubt "no less" in (a) is same way to use as the first "as" in (b).
If both are same as an adverb, I can understand the sentence (a) is correct unquestionably.

Is my conjecture correct?

Oops

I conjecture that "no less" is used like as "as" in these sentences.

My girlfriend tells me she wants to be friends with "this cool looking Korean with this cool vibe" dude in her class.

Yes, your girlfriend is a Koreaboo.

They're known for being human forms of idiots who type, "xD" a lot and crave attention.

Say no, tell her no. If she fights you over it, you've lost. Koreans are complete assholes with no morals when it comes to girls, so unless she randomly gets a brain, you're fucked anon.

>>17686953
This Anon is right. One of my friends from High School dated a Korean guy, long story short nobody knew he'd beat her on a regular basis for 2 years. She took to drinking heavily to deal with it... But regardless of ethnicity I'd be worried Anon.

My ex boyfriend (whom I broke up with) just sent me this after I was talking to him earlier. I was being nice to him, but the way we broke up wasn't very good, but I feel kind of bad.

Look. I was a little upset earlier today when you were trying to talk to me. But honestly, there is no way that you and I are going to be friends after what happened. I'm sorry, but what you did is never going to reverse and a bridge is burnt. I honestly don't know how you switched it off in your brain, but your ability to look at me as just a friend and that nothing happened just is salt on a wound. You're never going to be my friend again after that. I shared 2 years of my life with you, but that means nothing in spite of what happened, because it means nothing to you. I hope you figure out yourself, but I don't want to be around as a friend while you do. I love you, Anon, even after everything, but you're not the same person you used to be, and it's time for me to go. Maybe it'll be different later on, but I don't want to see, speak, or think about you anymore.

I'm guessing you cheated on him?
>>
>>17686895
He is hurt and needs space. He even recognizes that. He is upset with and disappointed by you, but not vilifying you. That's very mature, and you should respect him and his needs. Let him know that you understand and didn't intend to hurt him, but will give him all the space and time he needs-- even if that is indefinite.
However, let him know that he can always come to you as a friend if he needs for help, and that while your feelings are no longer romantic, you do care about his wellbeing.


How's that?

Hi /adv/

I'm currently a first year student in a PhD program for economics, and struggling. I spend virtually all my "spare" time studying and ace the homework but bomb the tests. I haven't been sleeping properly because of stress and as a consequence haven't been exercising regularly like I used to.

I feel like if things keep going this way I will fail and get kicked out. I'm not really qualified to do anything and failing out of a graduate program is a red flag for employers anyway.

I just feel afraid at the moment because I am beginning to become depressed and I'm highly considering seppuku.

Has anyone else had a similar experience?

Anyone?
...
Please?
>>
>>17686882
i'm going through something similar. to me it sounds like fear of failing is your biggest problem. what's your endgame if you do fail and drop out? is it really the end of the world or is it something that you'd rather not do? not saying that you should accept it, but to look at how it may impact your life realistically and work to prevent it if it crosses the threshold of mattering to you that much.

i'm just in undergrad so maybe it's a more lauded approach but relative to me to an employer--you have a degree and you've been accepted to get paid to work/research/study at a university. maybe for a more senior level position you'd need more experience to override the shortcoming of dropping out but i'd say you're more accomplished and stronger than you may realize as least to me.

also i am terrible at advice i should not be on this board.
>>
Are you an undergraduate?

I was in the same situation 3 years ago.
>in school for pharmacy
>Stressed, full time, 3.2gpa, 3 jobs
>dropped out because I realized I didn't love the program

>currently in Business Admin program for MBA
>full time student, studying everyday, all A's, get passive income from baby business I slapped together, 3-7 hours of sleep not including 2 hr midday nap, As or Bs on tests
>I regularly meet with my professors, future professors and a few who aren't my professors but help mentor me
Regular meetings with professors says "hey, I'm serious and I want to know wtf we're going over next week.

I'm obsessed with economics, international business, and marketing. I get an average of 150 textbook pages to read each week but I get it done.
I also have a calendar with appointments and due dates to get things done.
I also have all my classes planned out for the next 2 years, projected savings planned out, but then again I'm real analytical

You don't like what you do
It shows
What do you want to become?
What's your plan with your degree?

I've always suspected it because I'm neurotic that way, but I've never seen any malleable evidence (texts, etc.) that my dad is having an affair.
But last night my mum was upset and saying things like "I've been a fool" and I overheard a bit and she thinks he's been cheating on her with a colleague from work?
I've met said colleague and she's a single mom herself that shows up sometimes at my dad's office when I'm in there with him. But my dad has plenty of other female and male colleagues who also drop by just to say hi.
My dad said to my mum that she's mistaken and his colleague has joined him for coffee during lunch breaks but that's it (according to him, she initiated it)
Yesterday I was at my dad's work but I was in the room next door to his. I heard his colleague show up around 3PM and they talked for about ten minutes, I could hear them talking (couldn't hear what they were saying though, although it sounded like a normal conversation)

My mum seemed sad and 99% sure my dad is cheating but they were talking normally this morning.

What is the truth?

How do you get passed those days where you realize how alone you are, how you wake up every morning, go to work, get home and have nearly no one to talk to?

I feel so fucking alone and I need suggestions, I am canadian, decided to start brushing up on my french in my free time because to be honest with you... when Im not working 9 hours I am just home eating or on youtube. Should I start working out again? Should I start going downtown and date again?

I dunno man, I'm also a sad as fuck Canadian and I don't know what the fuck to do with my life. But working out does make you feel like you've accomplished something and could give you a confidence boost. Going downtown could be fun or at the very least a distraction.

As for dating I wouldn't really know, I always get embarrassed and run away from romantic situations.
>>
im the same way man, my job is very solitary as well, delivery driver.

i come home and workout, play guitar and fuck around on the internet. its actually pretty damn awesome most of the time but yes it does get lonely. in a relationship though i wouldnt be able to do that stuff as much so idk if its worth the compromise

>>17686864
I'd really love to go downtown to church and meet some pretty ladies. Although I've never been in a relationship with another woman before..

Working does make me fill fulfilled, the only thing im looking towards is building a new computer in december so I am saving...

Alright bros, I'm giving my ex-girlrfriend an envelope, that includes an apology letter & a charm bracelet I made or you.

I need your guys' input on how I should change/edit my apology letter bros, this is to a woman who I'm convinced was one in seven billion:

Adria..You deserved the absolute best of what a man can give, and especially during that summer I barely managed to give you a quarter of that. Because of this, I knew from the start that there'd be no "waiting for me" until you arbitrarily decide you're ready, and I can't imagine a more doomed-from-the-start way of starting over. Indeed, that sobering reality is what drove me to rapidly correct myself for the woman whose love I have couldn't fill the planet we live in.

Giving you everything in the apartment, the September's bills, the $2,000...that was my way of trying to paint a truer picture of me: a man that even in a thick fog of uncertainty will work hard and will always make what's right for #1. That was the easy part. Trying to understand this unknown experience and not continue to give you a toxic impression, but instead gradually portray how I've corrected myself is the hard part, though I realize it shouldn't have been.

In your hands and not in mine, is my second chance..Please believe that I do understand the importance of gradually approaching this with the grace you deserve, and that's what I tried expressing with "I'll wait": I'll wait for when you feel comfortable in further taking it one slow step at a time, and I'll respect how you approach it. I apologize for not conveying it any other way.

Adria...I know that with everything I've learned about myself, my intense understanding of you, along with my love and chemistry I have with you...I know that I'm now the man you wanted me to be, where you'd look at me, and feel at home.

What a fag

It was a bad experience but I'm proud of myself that I actually asked, but because of this I don't want to date anyone anymore in senior year, I was thinking of just asking someone else to prom and then moving on, Should I wait to college to date other girls or should I just keep trying my senior year to get a girlfriend, I am kiss less virgin who barely asked out a girl for the first time today. There are other girls I am interested in but I think I need some time before I start asking Again. Thoughts?

I've always rolled with the idea that if you look for a partner, you'll (almost) never find somebody worthwhile. The people that you'd truly want to be with are just going to come into your life at the most unexpected moments, and you can't really count on or plan around that happening at certain points in time or when it's most convenient/desired. If you see somebody you fancy, try going for it, but don't force something to happen because you're either lonely or you're trying to conform to what society says you must have already done with the opposite sex to be "normal" or whatever.

So, I'm having a big party, 30+ people. There will be drinking, but it's not some college kegger.

Anyway, I invited everyone I work with. Among these people is a fellow who's not too popular, but I don't dislike him and he would've heard about the party anyway. He's always been /b/-tier humor, 'hyuk hyuk why not just put black people in cages to protect them from themselves?", the kind of shit you hear teenagers say to try and russle jimmies.

Well, since I told him about the party, he's been making increasingly hyper-sexist comments, far past his normal 'controversial' bar. At first I was worried about him trying to red pill people at my party, for the sake of being a good host, but he's gone past raving about "all women" this and that. When speaking about a girl who will be there, he said "man the first chance I get I'm gonna rape the shit out of her". So, I'm now morally obligated to either bar him from the party completely (who the fuck says that to the host of a party with lots of drunk girls?), tell her myself, or just have one of my 'crowd control' friends watch him close. They have daughters, they don't like guys like him.


There are more than a handful of girls that I work with going, and even more personal (girl) friends showing up. My fucking sister is going to be there, and I don't have the time, energy, or patience to deal with him antagonizing people that I actually like, let alone threatening to rape someone.

Tactful ways to handle the situation? I prefer to keep things amicable if possible, but I'm not one to shy away from confrontation when it's called for.

Send him a text, email, or other form of written message outright telling him that you're a hair away from revoking his invitation. Explain to him that you were trying to be kind and inclusive by inviting him, but his behavior since the invitation has been completely unacceptable and if he does or says anything else inappropriate before the party, he better not expect to still be welcome.

Basically you put the ball in his court, making it very clear that you can and will ban him if he fucks up, but he has to knowingly make the decision to fuck up; it's not you being an arbitrary dick bag. Having it in writing just makes the whole ordeal verifiable in case for whatever reason this extends to other people at work.

I was put on Wellbutrin XL 3 years ago and because I was coming off of bipolar medication from a improper diagnosis of bipolar it was a refreshing functional change after being on the wrong drugs for a few years. I was on the Wellbutrin for about two years with moderate dosage increase when something weren't being solved I continued to get medical advice and was placed on Ritalin and it really helped. Recently I was allowed to ween off of Wellbutrin, which proved successful and it seems that the benefits I was reaping from the Wellbutrin was not worth the side effects. However I face a new problem. The cocktail of the two drugs really helped my chronic fatigue and ADHD so without the Wellbutrin the Ritalin seems to only be helping mildly. The doctor prescribing the Ritalin recommends a second line defense like Strattera, but he claims he can't prescribe it. He recommends I talk to my physiatrist about it, but the only ones available with my health insurance for over an hour drive keep trying to force bipolar on me again when they see what two different bipolar drugs did to me they still tell me "eh, try it again" more or less. The one psychiatrist that was helping me left the area for good so I have no support for the prescription of other ADHD medications. I really don't want to go back on Wellbutrin, from my family physician, to aid against the ADHD again. Can anyone give me any recommendations? Any adults suffering from ADHD have stories to share? Does anyone think my Ritalin dosage is to low(dosage info bellow)? Any other medications for ADHD people have experiences with?

Personal Info:

Age:31
Sex: Male
Weight: 145lbs
Ritalin Dosage: 15mg 3 times a day
Wellbutrin XL Dosage: intro dose gradually increased to 300mg once a day

Hey man. I can't answer your question but can I ask you one?

What are the effects of psych drugs like? Mood/cognitive behaviour, etc.

I'm considering asking for a diagnosis and treatment but don't know if it's worth it.
>>
Personally, none of them ever really did anything for me except Wellbutrin and ADHD. I was on many drugs over the years starting in college and generally speaking they made me a zombie that could mentally feel emotions, but not physically emote them, if that makes sense or in the case if the bipolar medications drove me mad and I gained a crap ton of weight I had to shed or in the case of benzodiapines they did absolutely nothing for vast amount of dosage sizes then adding one tiny size more to the dose and I lost weeks of my life due to memory loss, but in the time I didn't lose I was still anxious. They never fixed anything just tried to cover it up then hit me with tons of temporary and permanent issues. My experiences are only mine though they may treat you differently, like for some benzodiapines completely dissolve their anxiety or antidepressants cured their depression. But, some of the most important questions I didn't ask before it was to late were ones such as "can I fix this myself", "is this a nurture or nature situation", "am I in an environment that's causing these". I'm hoping my issues are coming from mostly ADHD and the other that aren't can be changed without meds. I was also adopted and have between 10-20 biological half sibling because my biological parents were literally rabbits with each other and divorced and found multiple other rabbits. to reproduce with. As impossible as it sounds some of us found each other over time and we all turned out so differently especially the ones that also got abandoned and got adopted. My mother admit to doing drugs when she was pregnant with me and the first two years of my life I slept 22 hours of the day then woke up cried drank formula and went back to sleep till I was finally adopted by my family. So, I'm probably also screwed up from being a drug baby. Each persons case has so many factors, but be careful.

Thanks for sharing that heavy stuff.

It's the questioning myself that hurts. Looking at my childhood, family, environment and the people I am with just gets me down. I can't stop my brain perfect-recalling traumatic events out of the blue and so I go through life constantly warn out emotionally.

But thanks for the info. I'll see a counselor before I look at drugs.

First play around with it. Try and get a feel for the notes that correspond with each fret. Try and turn those simple notes into familiar melodies. Then move your way into taking on a song. It can be easy. But learn it from start to finish. It will feel rewarding.

Read music theory (tldr edition)
Learn scales by memory
Learn the chords to each scale

Congratulations, you can now play epic solos using scales.

I fucked up at work. Somehow the mail machine didn't seal a bunch of envelopes I sent today. I realized the mistake as I threw the letters into the mailboxes. Instead of running upstairs and fixing the problem, I licked a few shut, tossed them in and walked away. The postal service was coming to pick them up within the next half hour, but I could've gone upstairs, sealed them and put them in the pick-up box.

I had a lot to do, but I strive to do my work well. I've been sloppy at jobs in the past. I don't know how to stop. It's as if I want to sabotage myself.

My plan is to apologize the fuck-up when my supervisor's finds out and claim I didn't know it had happened. I've only been at the current location for six days, but I worked with the company since July. It's my first time using a mail machine. I'll apologize for the error and promise to be more careful in the future.

What do you think I should do?

I had a friend who lives kind of far away not got a job nearby so he crashed here if he didn't feel like taking an hour long bus ride at 2 am
He crashed for three days without clean clothes and didn't shower until the last day, I actually told him to go fucking home and change and he left. Got into a bus, got off after two stations and came back because he didn't feel like it, at least he showered because he smelled like shit
He crashed again on Saturday and had to be there at 11, I woke him up five times and at the end he left 12:30
I wasn't surprised at all when the next work day he got the boot, you are allowed to fuck up from time to time if you understand that after a fuck up you work twice as hard for a while until nobody is mad at you anymore not give up and sink deeper into apathy
He had all the help he could ask for from everyone, I would have kicked his ass until he woke up but he lied and told me he got told to come later, I can't honestly feel sorry for him after that

Thank you for the advice. My start at this location has been rough, but I'm committed to being a good employee from now on. I got the job because of my stellar hard work at another location. My job duties are different at the new place. I'm hoping they'll be lenient and realize it was an error.

Do you think they'll buy that I didn't know the envelopes were unsealed?
