Airplane bottles.

Where are you trying to drink at?

I keep mints in my locker at work. Anyone know if smoking masks the smell at all? I already somke. It'd be stupid to take it up to cover the smell but I'm wondering if it helps at all.

I'm a 24-year-old who wants to start working at a hotel. I live in Hawaii, so there's no shortage of them.

The problem is that I have no idea what to expect, how to go about doing it, or how to move up if I get an entry level job.

I only have a BA in teaching English to foreigners and I spent the majority of my last year after graduating trying (unsuccessfully) to get into teaching gigs in Japan, so this is all completely out of my comfort zone. It doesn't help that I don't really have a reason as to why I picked hotel work, but I just wanted to go after something outside of education.

I'm planning on getting CPR/First-Aid certified soon, as well as a drivers license once I get re-familiarized behind the wheel.

How hard is it to get into a decent paying job at a hotel without prior knowledge/experience? Is there even a way to move up if I get a cleaning/bellhop/front-desk job or something like that? Is there anyone who can share any experiences?

Not hard? At all. Volunteered for one while doing nursing course on the side. Most jobs (maintenance, kitchen, front desk, etc) were all super easy and manageable.

I'm sure there's a way to move up but who cares because regardless of what you're doing you'll be making substantial money. Makes me want to go and find a hotel job now.

>>17571014

What did you do? Did you need any prior knowledge of anything? And how do you know that it makes good cash if you were a volunteer?
>>
>>17570925
>trying (unsuccessfully) to get into teaching gigs in Japan,

Do it in Korea instead.
More demand and it's just a short trip away from japan.
That's exactly what my cousin (who's also an English major graduate from Hawaii) is doing right now.

So I date a lot of guys and I never feel anything for any of them. They're annoying at best. I'm pretty sure I'm sexually attracted to men. I have a 2d husbando, and I eyefuck guys IRL a lot. But none of the ones I end up dating do I care about. It's like I want to get laid but there's no one I want to get laid by. Even the guys I think are hot are kind of annoying and I just start pointing out all their flaws.

I accidentally started dating this guy, could have gotten laid last night, but I just sent him home. I'm out of my mind horny until a real guy comes around and then it goes ice cold. Even if I go on multiple dates with them or spend like a month or two dating, still feel nothing. What is my problem and how do I find real men attractive?

>accidentally
How the fuck does anyone accidentally date someone? Sounds like the fuck up here is you, not "them".
>>
>>17570892

The guy I am dating now is 5-10 years older than I am. I actually hate age gaps like this and I try to date younger men. If anything I find guys 15-20 most attractive, but they're also annoying because they don't have anything going on. And it's kind of socially unacceptable.

Title says it all

Basically I call them, I send them a single facebook message a week and I text them once and they ignore me. It makes me feel like shit, I have very few close friends and they are completely ignoring me

I know I sound like a pussy but this is making me feel like complete shit. What is the best way to go

"Hey, I know you've seen this shit, I know you are ignoring me for some reason and I don't know why, what the fuck is your problem?"

Makes me feel like complete fucking garbage. It's not just they're "Busy" I know I'm being deliberately ignored

Get new friends. Like why would you even want to be friends with these people. Fuck them.

Well it is now. Either straight up tell 'em what's going on and what you want, or get new friends. It's really not that hard. Man up.

One of my best friends from years back is showing clear signs of crushing on me. I do tend to vent to him about my boyfriend but thats kinda what we did cause he had a girlfriend. They only broke up because she left overseas and he wasnt gonna quit studying.

He has gotten a bit more agressive in the sense that he repeats a lot to leave my boyfriend. Ive said that even if i dumped him i wasnt gonna date another guy (in case he was expecting that if it did happen i would just run to his arms). How can I let him know it is never gonna happen between us without affecting our relationship as good friends?

What clear signs are those OP? From that conversation it kinda seems like he's just worried about you and he thinks you're in an abusive relationship.
>>
>>17570921
I thought so too at first.

But then he constantly tells me how cute he thinks i am. Calls me baby. When i say something i do he would always comment how he wouldn't mind that in a partner. Conversations sometimes go awkward cause he starts to talk like this. He even asks if i would mind a fat guy (he is fat). All this sorta started after he left his girlfriend also.
>>
>>17570942
Calling someone "baby" outside of a relationship is kinda corny, but that's just me.
Yeah I'd say he's into you.
Just be blunt about it, tell him what you think is up, tell him you're not interested in him but you want to remain friends. If he's up for it, then okay, if he's not, well too bad. Sucks but it's the way to go.

I'm moving to Plano in Dallas TX in a few months with my partner. I live overseas in another country and I never finished college. What are my options for applying to jobs? How can I do it? What's the interview process?

Any advice for moving to this place in general? Cheap places to live? Buy food, furniture, ect? I would appreciate any kind of advice if you have lived there or live there. Thanks in advance.

No, it is ethically wrong to murder a child for your own personal benefit. Move on and find someone else. The woman has issues if she is pregnant and moving between guys and you don't need her.

Worst case, ahe claims the child is yours

Hi /adv/. I'm a 20 year old virgin but with no previous girlfriend but I can handle being with girls.
I'm planning on finally getting into dating but I don't know how.
I know what you're going to say "just go talk to her", "man up", "just ask her out". HOW. How do i ask her out? how will she know that i like her? do i just ask her if we can be in a relationship after a few dates?

What you do is just make a move. Any move. If you screw up, you learn from it.

Confidence is the key.
>>
>>17570830
What kind of move? Could you give me an example?
>>
>>17570834
Like when it's not creepy, casually put your hand on her thigh, or on her shoulder. Or compliment something about her. Or tease the hell out of her (but don't be rude). Literally whatever opportunity opens up, take it.

What the fuck do you do if you feel like you might be getting ghosted but something is off?

Met a qt yesterday and we talked for like 20 minutes and she actually seemed to like talking to me and was interested in me. She was offering to skip her class to talk to me more. Anyway i got her number and texted her later "Howdy its ____" and i never got a text back. I feel like im getting ghosted but im not 100% sure.

What do you do if you feel like you are getting ghosted but you feel like something is offh about it? I would hate to give up because of what i think is happening when she might have just had something happen like losing her phone or something

I'm sorry, what is 'ghosted'?

Is this common knowledge?
>>
>>17570745
Yes. It is when you feel like everything went extremely well but you basically dont get a text back afterwards.

P new term because people used to say "sorry im not into you" or something but are now not even courteous enough to reply
>>
>>17570763

Not to WK but I know chicks who are afraid to say they aren't interested because of psychotic blowback.

How do I break up with my gf? It's kind of early so I don't want to be a total dick about it.

Just sit her down and gently but firmly say that the relationship isn't working for you and that you hope you can be friends.

I know this is abrupt, but I've decided I don't want to be in a relationship.

hey guys,
I keep feeling sad feels... whats a fool-proof method to letting go and living life.
Can I hear some of your experiences maybe?

Read Meditations by Marcus Aurelius
>>
Accept that these feelings are normal, when you are sad then that is exactly what you should be feeling in that moment. Yes it sucks but it is also very beautiful and mind opening.

Right now I'm very heartbroken but at times I'm happy and feel liberated. When one door closes other open so only time will make things right there is no magic to it.

But something help like listening upbeat music going out constantly and meeting people. Those things always make me smile again.

Are unprofessional professors just something you have to deal with in college?
We were using an online app in class that made answering questions into a competition. Mainly on grammar. If you got in 5th place or higher, you didn't have to do the quiz next week and you got an automatic 100% on it.
The problem being, there were at least 5 questions on there relating to music and movie trivia, like old movies only the oldest in class had even heard of, and old dadrock bands.If these questions weren't on there, I would have probably gotten the highest score. Why is my skill in grammar being measured by my knowledge of The Who and Casablanca? Is this normal in college?

Not to mention my programming professor hardly giving us any instruction past "I want a code that does this". As a first year student who hasn't even touched Visual Basic, what am I even supposed to do? When I ask the professor for guidance, he literally tells me to google it. He hasn't once actually taught the class anything.

Are these kinds of things really the standard for today's professors? I was told that it was important to ask questions, but now that I have the courage to do so I get no real information out of asking anything. These courses may as well be directed by automated powerpoint.

First off stop bullshitting.

The lecture notes as well as the tutorials are enough to get whatever assignment is needed to be done. Further more you are in computer science where a plethora of answers and informational guides are literally online. When your professor says to google it, he is really saying "stop being a lazy twat and search for answers on google like you would in a real programming job.". The guy gives you a chance to get a 100% on quiz without even doing it yet here you are complaining about the questions being too specific in one genre. Must everything be cuddled and spoonfed to you?
>>
>>17570594
Unfortunately, yes, but you can complain to the dean. I would write a letter or an email, anonymous or not, to the head of your department and just explain that you don't appreciate being measured on your pop culture knowledge in class. It's one thing to try and make things more fun and interesting, but she's going about it the wrong way.

I had a professor require us to add her on facebook. Yes. It was required. If we didn't have a facebook we had to make one, because she said that is the best way to communicate with her. We also had a mandatory facebook group where we had group discussions. Needless to say I made a second account just for the class.

I wish I had waited a year to take her class, because she's not there anymore.
>>
>>17570603
My problem with the programming course is that we were specifically told at the beginning to ask questions when guidance is needed. "Google it" isn't guidance, and if it was, hell, I could be a fucking professor here if they gave me some powerpoints to dish out to people every year.

I think you're assuming that the grammar questions had some grounding in actual grammar, but they didn't. He played a 5 second clip from a black and white movie and asked what the movie's title was. He played a few seconds of an old song and asked what band played it. That isn't measuring my knowledge of grammar.

I know I'll do well on the quiz but it's still a little insulting to currently be doing worse in the course than others because I don't watch the same movies or listen to the same music as the prof.

Give yourself an indian burn and slap your cheeks. Works for me.

Set a second alarm for a few minutes after the first.

Also set the alarm near the light switch and turn on the lights when you shut off the alarm.

Also make it a habit of walking to the bathroom and taking a piss immediately after getting up.

So I made a huge mistake. This guy has completely different values than me.

>casual sex before me/I was committed to waiting for marriage
>not open to religion/I grew up Christian and incorporate traditional African/vodun elements into my practice
>sees love as a happy feeling and liking being around each other /I see love as a commitment like Corinthians 13 in the Bible
>blind when he has a budding attraction to other women/I detect and shut down my crushes immediately
>doesn't read or engage in self analysis, doesn't like mental effort or discussing things in depth/I read, take personality tests, always wabt to discuss issues, and have been to psychologists
