Theres someone stealing our internet but trough a ethernet cord, ive looked everywhere (yes even my own modem) and there isint anyplace that an ethernet cable can be placed, but yet i have them blocked, and it says
>connection - ethernet
i know this is one of my neighbors but idk who,
once i blocked them my internet speed went back to normal, any ideas how someone is doing this
Do you know the concept of LAN over the powerline? Typically called d-lan too.
If you plug these things in any socket that is connected to your house/flat wiring and one with the ethernet you could potentially be in danger that someone who is in range and has somehow access to one of your sockets and would be connected as an ethernet cable.
Check if you have these powerline adapters somewhere in your house. Be sure to create a whitelist in your router and deny access to new users.

are you still here?
i dont think my modem has a white listing thing
"Hi anon, i really like talking to you and being around you, i was wondering if after the exams and all, whether you'd wanna go get lunch or play mini golf or something?"
is this a good ask out question?
context: girl is very shy, seems to like me
>>17541905
Protip: If you think she likes you, 90% of the time she doesn't like you.
Are you at least 6'0, obviously not overweight, handsome and rich?
If the answer to 2 or more of the above is yes, then she likes you.
If the answer to 2 or more is no, then she doesn't like you, she just wants you as an emotional or financial support while she fucks someone hotter on the side.
Females are a stupid game, the only winning move is not to play.
>>17541964
This guy's an idiot.
>>17541905
Don't say "wondering." Just be firm and straight to the point. "Hey, want to hangout and do _____?" Don't imply that it's a date but just a day to get used to each other. If you imply it's a date then she may back out at the last second since she may be too shy.
If you both had an awesome time then you say something along the lines of "I had an awesome time tonight. Let's hang out again sometime!"
Ask her that question in your OP after the second or third successful date.
>>17541979
>calls me an idiot
>doesn't even make an attempt to refute my points

This is me right now at work and thbaks for the reply :)
How can I be a mature college student and still have people to hang out with?
I have just started my masters education at one of the best universities in Europe, I have worked so hard to get here, to save my money, etc.
I am 21, and a girl, and it seems all the other people at my age are the type that love to just get wasted and not take school seriously. I'm not a nerd, but I am honestly passionate about my field, and am searching for an internship to be even better at my future career.
However all my roommates (who happen to be the popular group here) are sometimes honestly confused about why I don't go out with them 4 nights a week.
I don't want to be 'that girl' that always is locked in her room and studying, but also I have gotten tired of just meaningless nights with cheap alcohol when I could be doing more productive things.
So how can I find my 'peers'? It seems everyone going out at student events just wants to throw their money away on shots and beer- on the other side, the events I'd like to go to (art exhibition openings, quality bars, maybe a fancy restaurant once in a while) are just populated by older people who have their own social circles and see no reason to be friends with a student.
And just so I don't sound like a pretentious snob, I am not above drinking cheap beer and partying in student bars, I just don't think my money should be spent on that when I could invest in better experiences.
tl;dr am at that age where I'm supposed to be a rowdy student but I j-just want to hang out with quality people and perfect myself for my future.
Is there anyone who feels the same or has been through this?
>>17541893
>Is there anyone who feels the same or has been through this?
25, postdoc, I don't think I quite identify with your situation but have you tried to hangout with your classmates ? you know, those people who study the same field as you and have similar aspiration ? if you are doing something that remotely requires effort then I doubt ALL of your classmates would be the same as your party loving roommates...Form a study group, get to know them ? do assignments together ?
On the other hand, I think I'm quite the opposite of you, I work in computational harmonic analysis and I still live in campus, I prefer to hangout with the younger, wilder bunch living next door than my more mature colleagues, both groups are fun, but in one group I am the cool guy and as for the other group I'd prefer to talk to them about recent development in PDEs rather than, say, hitting on girls.
>>17541893
I feel your pain deeply. But most kids our age up until late 20s are a bunch of twats.
There are those out there like you! You will have to search far and wide, a connection can be found.
Dont be rowdy in grad school senpai
>>17541893
Your a nerd and will never really fit in. Thats just how people are, maybe you should run into others like yourself, but because you're normally introverted you dont really know cause theres little communication.
Live with it or change.
I feel like the only reason I bother with my life, is to lose my virginity. After that, I don't really have much reason to live. Everything around me is temporary. Is this a normal feeling to have?
Kind of, if the main Problem is that everything is temporary read Albert camu mythos of sysiphus or other existentialist philosophy it helps (confirmed by own Life)
>>17541876
Life sucks.
Escapism is the only thing you can do.
Either accept that fact and live with it, or off yourself.
Make sure to go out with a bang though, like shooting up a school or something.
>>17541876
Nope.
That was my original life goal, now after that happened my goals changed and now theres new things to aim for.
>been living with boyfriend for 3 years
>occasionally he'll just stop showering
>shitty point in our relationship, I got on his ass for being lazy
>he got on my ass for not cleaning much
>refused to bathe at all unless I washed his ass myself
>make it very clear to him that if he doesn't take care of himself I'll leave him
>start cleaning more, he starts showering regularly
>his friend died
>he avoided being by himself since he didn't want to be left alone with his thoughts
>didn't shower for 3 months
>any time I brought it up he called me an insensitive asshole since his friend died
>moved to a apt with a tiny little bath and shower
>says he hates the shower
>refuses to get in it
>tell him I know he likes it when i do hardcore cleaning so offer to clean for 30 minutes+ every time he gets in the shower
>hasn't showered for about a month in a half now, despite that offer
and on top of that, he only owns one outfit. and doesn't brush his own hair. so occasionally it dreads and I'm left to take care of it.
outside of the obvious "dump him" is there anything I can do? I want to make it work, so I'm willing to try pretty much anything, and if it doesn't, I'm out. I don't want to do this shit for the rest of my life.
>>17541843
he literally doesnt give a shit, even if he has lots on his ass.
>>17541843
>didn't shower for 3 months
What the fucking fuck? Do you honestly want to spend your life with a man who refuses to wash himself for months at a time? If so you're just as filthy as your degenerate sack of shit that is your sorry excuse of a boyfriend.
Run girl, run.
>>17541843
>>didn't shower for 3 months
are you two hobos before this ?
I was going through a bad case of depression and bipolar disorder, I met some dude from the internet and he (very soon) became my first ever boyfriend (me:26, him:32).
He was a sweet man who treated me well, but we didn't really match in interests and I didn't really like our conversations. He also had several 'loser' traits (NEET, heavy drinker and smoker).
I was always honest to him, and I was never too convinced about the relationship. As soon as I started treatment for my mental health issues, I realized that I couldn't really stay with him, that while I cared for him deeply, I wouldn't be happy with him on long term, so I broke up with him.
But I'm still worried about him. He did say several times that I was giving him the strength to try to change his life. But again when I lived with him, he didn't really seem to do much regarding that.
He was clearly hurt after I left him. I was his first girlfriend, and we did talk several times about future plans (and those did feel plausible in my mind when I was going through 'mania' moments, I only really started being bipolar very recently).
Should I just break all contact with him?
I still care about him a lot.
>>17541817
What kind of plans?
>>17541817
He is part of the problem. Cut contact and move on to Normieville.
>>17541869
like me moving permanently to his city and getting married
Hey guys so I have the car in [pic related] and I'll be picking up this girl from her house to go on a date this Saturday. Now, I have never had this situation, usually when I go out with a girl I usually meet her somewhere else or after work, but I've never had to go pick up a girl who I will actually try to fuck from her house, much less her own parents house. So what should I do, walk up to the door or just stay in my Benz and wait for her to come out? I'm not trying to be a dick but I'm also not trying to be an awkward beta male walking to the door it's 2016 lol, what should I do?
>implying the car will make up for your autism
>>17541752
If she's not already outside waiting, which is unlikely, get out of your car and knock on the door. There's nothing beta about walking to the door, in fact you'd be a prick to just sit in your car texting her "I'm here, get in"
You've got different problems to consider if you're insecure about walking to the door to pick up your date. Pussy.
Kek, why the fuck does it matter what kind of car you have you fucking autist?
>Muh benz
I started at FedEx (outbound load) this week after leaving Home Depot because my parents pressured me into it. Home Depot was good except for the late hours, but FedEx is fucking miserable. It's 400 boxes an hour (heavy as fuck boxes) for atleast 4 hours a night every weeknight. The managers even know the job sucks ass cause they keep awkwardly mentioning they don't want you to quit. I just want to get through college, not be fucking depressed every weeknight for the next four years. What do I do? It's also important for me to have my passion as my job, but I understand that comes after college. I just don't want to be fucking depressed.
>>17541749
Bump.
Post office work has extremely high turnout because of stress. There's a reason why they pay well and it's because they know the only incentive to work at these places is to pay well.
In your line of work, it's pretty unavoidable. You either have to change your perspective to make it seem less shitty or find work elsewhere.
Work somewhere like a supermarket or fast food instead.
Hi /adv/,
How do I contact Instagram? Phone, email, mailing address etc.
A user has been posting private images of my ex. We reported the account, instagram probably deleted it but he came back with a different name.
It contains nudes, or semi nudes.
I was thinking of making a police report, show Instagram the report and request for the person's login activities, location and stuff. But I just can't seem to find a contact point. [email protected] is always full.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks
try posting them here and see if instagram gives more fucks
>>17541751
i just can't find a way to contact them at all

I just hit wizard status.
As of today, I am a 30-year-old, hand-holdless virgin. I have never seen a real vagina. I have never seen a real pair of breasts. I was even a C-section baby. Never even touched THAT vagina.
Thing is, I don't feel the least bit concerned or upset about it. I have a good job, good friends, good life, and I have my magical powers to look forward to.
Ask me anything, I guess.
I have a hot girl who wants to fuck all the time, but being tied down is balls, wanna trade?
What's it like being able to do whatever you want whenever you want?
>>17541737
Do you go out to eat or go to the movies? Or do you pretty much just stay home?
How does someone become more creative?
>>17541726
Create and enjoy creative works in excess. Try lots of new things for inspiration, go to exciting places and meet exciting people.

what thoughts go through your head when you see a girl who's a legit autist? Like...just...what's the first thing you think? I'm just curious
>>17541727
"well, she's a legit autist for sure."
>>17541727
"I bet she's into some really autistic shit like MLP or spouts memes in real life"
I'm gonna get a Tinder tomorrow. Tips?
make sure the sparks hit it consistently to start a fire
Swipe right generously.
You're gonna get rejected a lot. Get used to that. That's what tinder is about.
Focus on having fun, having a bit of banter, getting used to chatting to randoms.
I've used it for years, had some great experiences, had a couple of shockers. (make sure you meet them in public first, haha).
It's like this for me:
>swipe right to 100
>match with maybe 30
>message 20
>maybe 10-15 reply
>decent conversation with 5
>meet up for coffee with 1-3
>have a good chat and see how it goes
It's all about the numbers with Tinder (and dating in general). Don't get disheartened. Chicks on there are easy come easy go, so don't get attached.
Unless you're really lucky and meet someone special and it lasts more than a few dates.
And don't put them on a pedestal.
Have fun!
>>17541729
Thanks for the advice. I've probably been a bit too optimistic about it so it's nice to have someone take me down in a positive way.
I've never been particularly good at making first moves unless I'm talking with a group of people. What should the first message be like?
Also I work at Starbucks and get to know a lot of the people in this town. What do I do about people I know?
Recently, I've realized that I've become massively fucked up due to my living situation.
My mom's disabled, and I've been her caretaker since a young age. She found a boyfriend 6 years ago, and it's been nothing but hell ever since. He's bipolar, and he starts arguments over the most insignificant things.
It's gotten worse and worse lately. He's verbally abusive to both myself and my mom. Has been for so long.
I can't concentrate when he is at home. I only sleep every other day, sometimes I go two days without sleep. I am completely unproductive. I don't find joy in anything I used to do. I'll just sit and stare at my laptop doing absolutely nothing if I know he is anywhere in the house. I'm so on edge, I jump at the slightest noise.
I don't know what to do. I never considered myself a victim until recently, and now that I've realized it, I'm scared for myself. I don't know how to come back from this, and there is no way to remove him from my home. We tried kicking him out, but he came back with the police and they told us that unless we get a restraining order, we MUST let him in the house, and we MUST let him live with us - even if he isn't on the lease. I don't understand it, and it's fucking ridiculous.
I'm just so tired of it all. I want to enjoy life again.
>>17541677
>unless we get a restraining order
1. Get a restraining order
2. Put your mum in a home (unless she is able to live independantly)
3. Take your life back
If she cares about you she will let you go.
Also fuck the boyfriend, bipolar people are unstable and thus easy to get rid of because they have no resilience, torment them enough and they will rek themselves for you.
Have sex with him that will calm him down
>>17541700
I don't know how to even go about getting a restraining order.
I feel like if I make any move, it's just going to cause more hell in my household.
My mom is pretty much faking a relationship with him at this point, for no other reason than to keep the peace. She knows it's tormenting me and feels like shit because she brought him here, but can't do anything to get rid of him.
>>17541702
dude hasn't even had sex in like 15 years or someshit. He's incredibly overweight and he limps around. He just shouts a whole fucking lot.
