How do you get noticed more for what you do at work? I work as a software engineer to give more context
Like, this whole summer I feel like I've been doing ton of work / tasks that were important, without fucking it up and with no guidance because most people were away or really slacking / not giving a fuck.
On the other hand some colleagues are slacking as fuck, picking up the easiest tasks, and then acting like it's really complicated, taking their time and acting as if they are actually solving an important issue while it's not important at all.
I'm not really good at communicating but I really don't want to be in a spot where the people who are doing less stuff and are less invested are more rewarded than I am. What should I do to be sure my work and efforts are noticed?
I have a meeting soon with my manager but I don't want to appear like the asshole who will put down some colleagues and tell him they are doing fuck all

This is what a friend of mine did, he got fired. Don't be a snitch. If you feel like slackers are getting rewarded more than you then look for another job, and quit when you're 100% sure you'll have that other job.

That is probably the worst plan ever.
Did you consider that you are putting her in an awkward position asking her in front of your peers?
Have you considered the cadence of your voice? it doesn't look like you are leaving many opportunities for her to talk, nor are you considering the conversation not going as you pre planned it.
Are you well versed socially?
Don't you think "I think you're cute and not just in looks" sounds odd? how else could she be cute other than looks? does your compliment sound good in your head?
Don't you think you could word asking her out a bit better?
Doesn't it seem a bit strange to you being so upfront asking for the number?
This has train wreck written all over it.

Do you trust the intuition you receive when dealing with a person, /adv/?
If a person gives off a "creepy" vibe, is he really creepy most of the time, or is he just an unfortunate victim of a lack of social skill?
If your friend begins giving you a rotten, unpleasant intuition, what can you do about it?

In my life I have noticed that socializing is an instinct like balance, and not a skill, in neurotypical people. If someone is not able to socialize in any situation, it's because there is something wrong.

I just need someone to help me find answers.
I do really believe that religion does play an important role in a man's psyche, something to believe in, the thought that there's justice in the world and that it's worth fighting for, the thought that there's a place of redemption waiting for us. cosmic order puts a man's mind at ease even when he is hounded by the horrid events present in our world
athiests ignore this psychological need for some cosmic structure as they see it as a obstacle for humanity's rational ascension to something greater yet they themselves are also suffering from its lack and fall into a more deplorable state from before, they are often restless, often angry, often paranoid, and often unhappy, and they try to replace their past purpose, the now lacking cosmic structure that religion gave them, with other things. They devote themselves to causes that they think will establish a new order worth fighting for or indulge themselves completely to their hobbies as way to replace how religion made them feel secure amidst the chaos of the world. Maybe religion, like most things that has survived throughout human history, fulfills an integral need in humans.
there's a reason why marx derogatorily called religion as the opium of the masses, but marx was wrong to point it as a negative. It's integral to humanity, to believe on something is big bulwark that safeguards a man's sanity. I just hope that we adopt a religion that is civilized and noble at the same time.
do you think this is the case /pol/? and I'm sorry for being too aggressive on my language.

Yes, having faith in stuff is a human need. Not for survival but for prosperity.
Religion was and is a means of control. I used to think this was sinister, antiquated, and something we were ready to move past. It's a community agreement though, not a top down thing like I'd initially thought. Our intelligence is what distinguishes us as a species on this planet but we enter in the same state as and with many of the same raw instincts as most of the other animals here. We aren't born with the conscious accumulated wisdom of our ancestors (or, if we are, it's not unlocked by default). We are born with capability. We are born with potential. Religion offers a guide.
Uncontrolled naive potential leads eventually to chaos. Prosperity can't even be addressed if you've not got survival down yet.
It's an imperfect system. Optimal at this stage in our collective development, but an imperfect system nonetheless. Or systems, rather. Some religions (much like Marx) analyzed, identified a problem, and then came up with a solution in the form of a new system (that remains dependent on the old ones, kek) that simply makes the whole mess 100x worse.

Whenever I try to ask help regarding this I try to keep it short but it ends up becoming big anyways, but I'll try even better this time.
BACKGROUND INFO:
I'm a guy that likes a girl a few years younger than me. We used to work at the same place. We got along well. We decided on a date that never went off, but she said maybe in the future (Her exact words were: "Maybe, but I haven't said no yet"). Our interactions didn't change. We decided to keep in touch after her temporary time at that work place was over. We did keep in touch (sometimes she replies instantly to text messages, sometimes it takes hours).
She started school again last monday and since then it has been extremely silent from her. Last time we texted 'properly' was her first day at school (last monday). Since then it has been extremely silent.
I asked her how she's doing on wednesday (last week), she never replied, so I jokingly texted to her on sunday (last week): "I'm fine aswell thanks", to which she replied (10 hours later): "Sorry I completely forgot to reply".
I texted her yesterday (this week tuesday) "what's up" around 9 pm, to which she replied "nothing, you?" two hours later (so 11 pm) basically sleeping time. I replied: "Nothing either, how's school?", to which she hasn't replied yet (soon 24+ hours since I texted her).
I intend to just not text her until friday unless she actually replies and seems to be interested in keeping the conversation going. And when it's friday, I intend to either call her or text her, and ask her out once more, if she says no then I'll just give up.
QUESTIONS:
Should I say something like: "I don't intend to give up until I get a date or a 'no thanks I'm not interested' from you",Sounds good in my inexperienced head, but maybe creepy?
I'm also wondering if when contacting her on friday, I should mention the fact that we had very good chemistry while working together and afterwards, up until recently, and then ask her out on a date again?

I haven't worked at all in a couple of years and I need to start doing something that'll actually support me, but I've got no idea where to start. The last time I looked for a job it took me more than a year and I applied to over a thousand different positions before I even got anyone to call me back, and I don't want to go through that again.
Have any of you gotten through something similar? I have a bachelor's degree and I used to be a financial planner, but I know I won't be successful if I try to do that again where I live now.
Give me career advice and I'll give you dating advice, oddly enough I've got that figured out pretty well but I can't figure out how to get a steady career.

Are you a NEET?
>>
>>17519235
Currently yes. My parents got divorced last year and I wound up quitting my job to help mediate the whole process (it took more than a year) and help them sell their house. I wound up moving across the country to take care of my mom and help her get set up in her new house. I probably saved her, conservatively, half a million dollars in the divorce, too (my dad had hidden a lot of their assets and transferred them to his girlfriend, but I was able to track it all down), and I made sure she's financially set for life, but she's had no patience with me in terms of finding another job and I have to beg for money from her to buy food. I'm trying to avoid being forced into something shitty by desperation but I don't know that she won't just kick me out on the street if it takes me another year to find a job again.

you have google plus/youtube opinions which are usually 100 percent emotional and poorly informed

Over the past few years I've been depressed (albeit over fairly trivial issues) and have had lots of dark days, but I've managed to keep my head above water and had been feeling optimistic about the future. I've lost a lot of my friends, but one of the things that's always been there for me is a solid stable family. They don't know about the problems I've had, but they are an important source of support for me.
However, today something happened which could completely ruin even that. It has been the worst day of my life. I can't talk about what happened exactly, but here are some of the likely consequences in the worst possible scenario (which is looking likely): my parents divorce, my family name is ruined, the friends me and my siblings have will change their opinion of us and talk about us behind our back. The fallout will potentially be public and humiliating, and will last months if not years.
I don't know how I can live with this, especially considering the problems I've had in the past. I've been feeling numb and upset all day and the things I fear most haven't even happened yet. If anyone's been through something similar, how can I prepare myself for what will almost certainly be the worst time of my life?

Jesus Christ, what the fuck did you do?
Someone found the rape dwarf, didn't they?
This is why you don't tie them up, their little hands will eventually get out.
Instead you just dig a large pit in an abandoned shack, smooth the edges of the pit so it can't climb up and cover the pit with a rug and a table.
Sure, it make the actual rape part harder, they fight back more if they aren't tied up, but you've got the height advantage right there.
It's better than them escaping because they squished their freakish little hands out of the knot.

Anyone here ever suffered with recurring yeast infection/ oral thrush? Background:
> have problem with coughing of phlegm
> go on 5 rounds of antibiotics in last ~1.5 years
> after the third round of antibiotics, get a yeast infection (male)
> go to doctor, get cream and it goes away
> during the next two rounds of antibiotics it comes back intermittently but goes away quickly
> after five rounds of antibiotics, it comes back badly and I get a new cream for it, it sort of helps but not entirely
> doctor also gives me corticoidsteroid spray for nasal inflammation
> mouth immediately breaks out with oral thrush
> 2.5 months later (now) still dealing with oral thrush and the normal yeast infection might pop up for a day here and there
What the fuck do I do? I'm taking 100 mg Diflucian a day and avoiding alcohol, sugar, fruit, grains, dairy, nuts. It still doesn't help. If I do have certain fruits (banana or blackberry) my whole tongue swells. My girlfriend's cousin who has her doctorate and works in natural medicine gave me a list of natural medicine to buy but it's $400.
Anyone here have experience or advice before I end it all?

Continue taking diflucan.

Damn I'm no doctor but that's a whole lot of antibiotics you've ben swallowing. As I work in a microbiology lab I can tell you that your normal mouth bacteria are probably mostly dead by now, and nothing can keep those yeasts (or "fungi") at bay anymore. And corticosteroids? I've heard that they majorly work as immune suppressants. Sounds like some completely homemade problem right there. What made you take those antibiotics in the first place? The phlegm? Was it bacteria induced pneumonia or what?
Not sorry for my bad english.

I dropped out and got a GED three years ago. My SAT score is from three years ago and is a 1590/2400. I've been a NEET for the entire three years but I want to go to university now this spring and my grandmother will pay for ALL OF IT ONLY if it's a real university and not community college. Would retaking my SAT give me a boost or would it be a waste of time? I can buy the 2016 collegeboard book for $17, but I don't know if it will actually be looked at. I want to get into somewhere like University of Pittsburgh or University of Washington, nothing insanely amazing.

Your scores look like those of a person who never gave a shit. Good schools want to accept people who give a shit. A high SAT score can make up for a low HS GPA, b/c admission officers understand that, for some smart kids, high-school seems dumb and pointless. Study for and retake your SAT, focus heavily on the Math score if you want to go STEM. Be willing to put time in (1 or 2 years) at either a community college or a state school satellite campus (like UW-Tacoma), and earn your way into the flagship school.

Sex is a lot different than what you picture.
It is five hundred times better than masturbation. When you stick it in for the first time it is fucking amazing. You'll be harder than you've ever been and wayyy more aggressive too.
Girls pussies smell divine. Their movements really make you hard. Their moans, their breath, the sexy way they talk.... All amazing. When you come in a girl for the first time it is like an explosion of pleasure so different from masturbating. You also get extremely tired and hungry. You'll feel like part of your soul was sucked out of your body.
Blowjobs are the best. So are handjobs. Get her to suck you off most definitely.
After your first time it's like women can smell you've been fucking with someone because they flock to you. You get more play with more girls and god damn they all look so fuckable.
You'll want more the morning after.
Your first time changes things man.

Hey /adv/
I'll be 22 in a month, still a virgin.
This happened about 6 months ago
>tfw no luck with tinder
>try out grindr out of curiosity
>get tons of replies, guys ready to meet right up, get offered money, lack of experience isn't a problem
Damnn how easy it is getting sex as a gay dude. To be honest it wasn't the first time I thought about trying gay stuff, I've always thought of myself as open minded in general and didn't limit my sexual orientaion.
I watch mostly mf porn, but have occasional phases where I watch trans porn and rarely gay porn.
So I decided one weekend to just go for it, the idea that I could get that so easily and finally get some sort of sex made me really horny. after filtering the creepy guys and finding someone that seems nice and not threatening, I didn't give him any personal details and made it clear that I only want to experience it and never see him again. I drove to his adress and picked him up, then drove to quite empty place and we begun our business.
I won't go into details unless anyone wants me to. I'll just cut to my conclusions. It wasn't awfull, I didn't feel anything special once I put his dick in my mouth, but I tried to pleasure him, when he sucked me I barely felt anything, maybe because I was nervous, maybe because there was no emotional connection, maybe because I was a little self consious about my dick which was smaller than his, and mine is 6.3". I made him cum on my face, it tasted a little sweet, so I licked most of it with my fingers. then tried to cum myself but with no success.
It didn't turn me on so much at the moment, but I still think about this experience sometimes while fapping.
the thing is, I'm still pretty sure I'm more attracted to women. I don't know if what I did was the result of sexual frustraion, and if I should do it again. this experience being just a fading memory of my whole sexual experience with partners, without hearing from him ever again and without sharing it, feels like a dream

Do you have a question, or are you just blogging? People experiment with their sexuality, you might not be "straight" but if you like women you can lead a "straight" life. Or not. Who cares
You might've enjoyed it more if you'd experimented with a friend, or something. Sex is almost always better with some level of connection/familiarity
