Get a job asap. Job experience will do more for you than a lit degree, all stem memes aside. The reality is that a lit degree will help you grow your intelligence surely, but to apply it will be more of a personal venture than a corporate one.

And to clarify i mean something part time while you are in college.
Hopefully this doesnt devolve quickly.
I am having a hard time understanding the solidarity between the feminist movement and transsexuals (and i realize this may not be the proper definition), defined as an individual who has undergone a complete procedure from MTF or FTM. That includes genitals, chest, any other cosmetic changes and hormone treatment.
The feminism movement supports the concept of moving away from the gender binary. They support that no matter what your sex is you fit onto a spectrum from masculine to feminine. Transgenders, not having undergone surgery, can dress as the opposite sex or somewhere in between, gender expression. And more importantly they believe that a persons personal gender is never 100% masculine or 100% feminine. They are staunchly against the concept of the gender binary.
Now i know sex and gender are different, however it seems like changing one's sex entirely is buying into the gender binary by fitting themselves into what society says is a man vs a woman or vice versa. I am not particularly motivated politically or socially in any way with regards to transgenders, transsexuals, or feminism but i am curious on how the two philosophies clash as i understand them.
Id like to discuss or be educated or tell me to fuck off to a board where i can find an answer.

Don't over think it. You're missing the whole point of these movements, which is to destroy western civilization as we know it through the use of cultural Marxism, which was introduced to American universities through the Frankfurt school.

"The enemy of my enemy is my friend"
You are right that there are ideological inconsistencies between the two, but they bond as a matter of politics because both consider the patriarchy their major foe.

Feminism has existed since the 1800's.
Traditional feminism is about social, political, and economic equality. It's about power being equal between the two.
(post?)Modern feminism (i'm making up this term) still contains some roots of traditional feminism, but is mostly about just shouting loud and angry people being angry, while tieing themselves to the LBGT movement and gender fluidity for a greater purchase to be different and "progressive".
It's slowly teetering in to the same radical pocket that white apologists, Men's Rights Advocates, and white supremacists fill. People mostly just looking to be upset for the sake of being upset.
Transsexuals are individuals who genuinely feel they were physically born in to the wrong gender.
Transexuals were also widely ostracized--even by the Gay/Lesbian movement--until VERY recently, and didn't have much to do with it. (Paraphrasing a publicly known transexual advocate--It's like the Gay rights movement realized they had mostly won, but now that they were running out of things to shout about and things to get funding for, they decided the way to keep things going was the next frontier, us Transexuals).
P.S.
I am a male traditional feminist, whose best friend is a lesbian and her girlfriend is a "modern" feminist (My best friend and I make fun of her all the time. luckily she has a sense of humor because she's also Vegan, which we also make fun of her for, because she's like a walking lesbian meme and she knows it).

Profess to being a christian. Attend church. Become a priest. You can get away with all kinds of shit with god by your side.
Do i call my boss out if she is showing a huge lack of respect towards me? I'm just a disposable and small fish for her, sure. but does that give her the right to deny me basic manners like greeting or answering my questions? I'm contemplating to tell her to her face or just send her an email, telling her that her behaviour is inappropriate af. I have to stay there till next summer. There's no other possibility. I won't work a day more than absolutely necessary at that place. But till i'm out, do i keep it to myself and tell myself that it is only for a couple more months or do i rub her nose into the shit she spews?

It's a job, as long as she is not harassing you she does not have to be nice to you. You could try to bring it up, but what would come of it? I'd say tough it out, show her respect as she is your boss, and once you are done if you still care try to get to the bottom of why she was acting that way. Or just let it go.
>>
>>17497959
Where does disrespect stop and harassment start?
I know what her problem is. But it's no reason to treat me like that. I just feel like it's unhealthy to not stand up for myself and let her get away with it. I'm not the only one she treats like that. But nobody has ever called her out on it. Not that she isn't aware, she just could do it till now without consequences, so why should she stop?
>>
>>17497988
I have had very shitty bosses myself. No you shouldn't have to put up with it, but i guarantee this will not be your first shitty boss. And simply not being mannerly or answering questions is no where near harassment. Does she use abusive language? Are you physically harassed?
If you dont care about your job, then go for it and see how it plays out. But you might want to be more tactful then as you described. Give her a shit ton of I feel statements, she cant refute them and they are relatively non-threatening.
On the other hand if you put her on blast in public or private i promise your job will more than likely become more shitty.

Hey /adv/
I have accepted this job on a cruise ship because
>no family at all so can't miss anyone
>no place to live in anyway
>money
>"traveling"
>cannot figure out what I want to do with my life
It would be a pretty good opportunity to solve the latter but I work 7 days a week, sometimes until 2 am. When I have a break all I want to do is sleep.
How do I make this job worthwhile?

Meet someone cute on-board? I hear it's really easy to steal shit on those things too.
I'm not sure I've understood your question. It seems like, for you at least, it's already worthwhile.
>>
learn how to smuggle drugs back / sell drugs to the people on the cruise. I know so many people who do this. Makes it all worth while.
Also try to get some trim from the passengers. Everyone is probably looking to fuck.
>>
>>17497917
Girls are easy as fuck on this ship, they fuck everything and everyone on their first week. Especially if the girls are from the UK or the US. I am not interested in meeting anyone. People disgust me here.
I was talking about MY FUTURE guys !!!!!!!!
How do I organize my time to find out what I'm gonna do :/
Inside I am an FTM trans person. Can't dress it bc my parents say I don't have the body for short hair.
Anyway, basically I'm asking how gay guys / guys in general say we aren't really men. I mean, that's the lowest blow (take that how you want (that too)) because we know it, but when I hear "not really a man" I get the same feelings I'd imagine someone who had been told they aren't really gay or aren't really bi would feel. I guess i don't understand how you can be hypocrites instead of taking the free anal sex.

What's up adv.
it's been two weeks and I want to hang out with my ex. She said she's developing feelings for someone else and I know that's semi true but she still goes out to bars and stuff. I asked if she could hang on the weekends and she said it would hurt me more then it would hurt her. How do I get out if this spot in her mind? How do I make it okay so we could engage in casual sex and a night if just telling each other how we feel? I want it so bad, please help me get it.
She's 21 and I'm 20. Thx

I desperately need help /adv/ my hands have always been shaky, twitchy and not very well coordinated or controlled and my hand writing has always been godawful as a result, and same with creating art or doing anything requiring steady hands. Is there a way to fix this? Do I have Parkinson's or something? It's stressing me out and I know it's gonna shit all over anything regarding paperwork or long essays I need to do in the nearby future. Is an hero the only answer? Pic is my attempt at writing as slow and as careful as I can. God it's disgusting.

Get yourself something called a boogieboard, it's an erasable lcd panel, a lot of people use it for what you need it for.
Anyway, after that you just write standards until you get used to writing with your tremors or you find a method of writing that works. Have you tried any medications?
>>
>>17497844
If you have literal shakes and twitches that debilitate you from writing properly then go see a doctor.
On the other hand, you're handwriting is above average when you take your time. I would venture to guess your quick free hand isn't all that bad compared to most.
>>
>>17497844
The majority of people nowadays are bad at writing, typing is the new thing, anyways.
You probably have anxiety (source: diagnosed anxiety, depression)

Looking for some insight on a mental conundrum i've been having lately, complicated so I don't expect much but I thought i'd give it a shot!
I'm conflicted on smoking weed. On one hand, I don't really have a need or want to "get high" as a form of escapism from daily life, also I get a little anxious about using it, i'm unfortunately a goodie 2 shoes,
I have tried it before and on the other hand I liked it because of what to me felt like a spiritual experience. This is very hard to explain but I love the world of the inner and exoloring that, things like dreams and some art, etc. Weed made me feel like I was more in tune to my subconscious. For example I often broswe /wg/ because I love getting lost in art and wallpapers, (Especially abstract ones) It's hard to explain but they give me a mental pleasure of sorts. Weed made me feel as If I could see and feel pictures, art and htoughts on a much, much deeper level, which I thoroughly enjoyed, perhaps someone can relate to this on some level?
I'm quite conflicted because to me weed feels like a tool of accessing my subconscious mind deeper, but on the other hand it makes me feel like a degenerate and like it's wrong, i'm very conflicted and I would appreciate any insight and/or feedback!

>like a tool of accessing my subconscious mind deeper
It isn't, you're fooling yourself.
>makes me feel like a degenerate and like it's wrong
then you should probably lay off it
Weed will make art and music more vibrant, but it is not a hallucinogen and you aren't unlocking anything inner.
>>
>>17497803
>>17497798
Not to be too harsh, but if that is the sole reason you wish to partake (to unlock some inner untapped subconscious part of you) then you'll be surely disappointed sooner rather than later. That is unless you're a nut job who also believes in astrology.
Meditation on the other hand i very much can help you learn about your subconscious self.

Post Nasal Drip.
Well that and my shitty childhood. But all my issues are directly tied to the constant semi headache I have, which gives me anxiety, makes my voice sound like shit, makes me feel weak, makes me feel less confident, makes my breath stink, gives me headache etc etc.
Obviously, in three years I have not found a cure. Tried everything from changing diet to what else. I was 21 when I suddenly got sick, except I never got better, I still have that fucking flu, it's called Post Nasal Drip.
Anyone here ever able to fix this fucking thing?

You ever use a neti pot?

Yes, that clears the sinus. meaning I have liquid coming out of my nose the entire day.

>>17497814
Do you use salt solution with it? After you do it the salt is supposed to dry out your sinuses a bit, along with help breaking shit up. At least it did for me.
Im assuming since you know what you have you've been to a doctor already and that's your legit diagnosis?

Not quite sure how to ask this, but I had a weird childhood experience that I think caused dating to be awkward for me, or if it wasn't the cause, at least illustrates a long-standing problem I have.
When I was in 4th grade I moved to a new school and met a girl my age who had just moved schools as well. We became good friends and I started to get feelings for her, to the point where I'd be awake at night thinking about her. It was the first time I fell in love. One day in class we're listening to our teacher talk about something and she whispers "anon, do you like me?" with deliberate emphasis on the like so there was no confusion. All I said was a strong "no" and then acted like nothing happened.
To this day I don't know why I said that, but after I did I figured that going back on it was an impossibility and we sort of drifted apart. I remember feeling totally shocked and not ready for it. I had actually been building myself up to ask her the same thing but after that happened I thought it was over. We remained on the periphery of each other's lives until we moved on to different middle schools and she wrote "you rock even harder than me anon" in my yearbook. At grad her grandma was talking to my mom and my mom informed me that I had caused the girl a lot of hurt. We didn't talk about it in more detail than that because my parents encouraged me to avoid chasing girls at that age. Anyway I felt horrible, horrible regret.
It only dawned on me a year or so ago that I come up against the same situation with girls I meet now at 20. I can keep conversation going for awhile, feeling the attraction build, but I can't express interest in a natural obvious way, and if they express interest I find myself unable to reciprocate it. I'm pretty much a passive hetero. I've had a few girlfriends in high school who tolerated me bridging that gap in a messy awkward way but nowadays I don't even have a chance to do that.
So any ideas how I can solve this problem and find a gf?

My coworker's wicked lazy and often leaves projects unfinished knowing that I will complete them. The local manager sees this but can't do to much because the coworker is employed and protected by his brother-in-law-regional-sales-Vice-President. How do I deal with a lazy vale madre dirt bag who couldn't care less? I stopped finishing his undone work but shit got out of hand in less than a week.

I plan on taking 300ug of acid tomorrow. It's real, actually 300ug because my friend gets it from deepweb not some shady street dealer I've tripped on maybe around 150ug of acid before. I found the experience to be slightly underwhelming.
Is 300ug too much if it's only my second time tripping ever? I'm not really afraid of anything, I actually want to experience some sort of ego death and the more visuals the better. I just don't know what I'm up for. But I want to do it.

I'm taking it with two friends in a pretty secluded area, there will be music and plenty of time. One of my friends has a lot of experience with LSD (has done it around 7 times at various dosages) who will act as a sort of "sitter" although he is taking a high dose
