So, I have a really difficult professor that I think might be borderline abusive and may have threatened me.

The fall semester began about three weeks ago, and I'm taking a required class called "Production Basics." I'm a film and video student. I love the program, but this professor, from the beginning has been incredibly vulgar, rude, and unnecessarily difficult in the sense that he intentionally makes the class setup (not material, but structure) difficult for his own shits and giggles. He openly admits this.

I figured I could make it though.

This week, though, on Tuesday he sprang on us a new assignment - "you have 24 hours to write a script treatment." "What's a script treatment?" a student asked. "What are you a fucking moron, or are you just being a smartass?" he said to the student in front of the class. "I'm not answering such an asinine question." He never did, and as such, half the class didn't really know. We relied on Google.

Another thing: he doesn't want us to turn in the assignment to him. He wants us to email it to him, yes, but to address him as a fictional character from the XMen. So I did. I wrote the best treatment I could, and sent it to this character. Then, I took off to work my actual, real film production job and figured I'd get a grade (probably poor, but whatever) and that was that.

I get an email an hour later saying, in character, "Sorry Mr. Anon, we have to reject your script at this time because it is poorly written and you clearly tried too hard. Feel free to submit again once you fix it to our standards."

Well, since I was on set, I couldn't resubmit without taking off work, and pleasing my actual executive producer that writes my paychecks is more important than pleasing a fake one based on a comic book character.

Four hours later, I get another email.

Continued.

It said: "Professor speaking now. Oh, I KNOW you aren't going to be a little bitch and not resubmit. You are such a failure. You fell down and aren't even going to try and get back up? Pathetic."

I told him I was at work and would not be able to resubmit any assignment and that whatever grade I got, I'd just have to live with. He replied:

"Not only do you fail this assignment, but I'm dropping you a letter grade.

I'm done with you."

Shocked, I just went back to work. Ten minutes later, another email.

"And just think about this - I can ruin you. I can ruin your future. I have nothing to lose - YOU DO."

I don't reply again. I'm just really concerned and uncomfortable.

Again, another email. This time addressed to the entire class.

"So today I received a lot of submissions for the treatment assignment. I did not accept any of them. One among you handled this assignment very poorly and childishly, and as such they will be punished and probably will never amount to anything in this industry."

Yeah, I don't know what to do. I have severe anxiety and a panic disorder. After every class of his, I have a full-fledged panic episode. After all this, though, I had a full-on nervous breakdown, complete with tears, rapid heart beat, and dizziness. I threw up, and wanted to actually kill myself.

Am I being too sensitive, or did this professor cross the line? Did he threaten me? Should I report it to the school, or is that a no-no? Is this just how college is? Because someone is tenured, they can get away with shit like this?

One more point: this is a required first-semester-in-this-program class. If I drop it, I get kicked from the program, and delay my graduation by a full year.

Seems highly unprofessional but I have no knowledge of how professors operate. He seems like asshole even if you report it I doubt they would fire him just talk to him which would in turn Piss him off and target you more
Depends on how far you're willing to go, either don't put up with his shit or eat it and ask for more
>>
>>17494334

This is extremely unusual and unprofessional. Print out your emails with the professor and with yellow highlighter highlight the following:

>I KNOW you aren't going to be a little bitch and not resubmit. You are such a failure.

>I can ruin you. I can ruin your future. I have nothing to lose - YOU DO.

With these in hand I would go to your guidance counselor or student resources or whatever and flat out tell them you feel extremely threatened by your professor's emails which are extremely unprofessional.

In what situations would it be inappropriate to ask for a girl's number?

There's times where I've seen a girl I thought was gorgeous on campus, yet I've had no reasonable way to approach them. Example being

>Be sitting at circular concrete benches set outside of one of the department buildings on campus.
>There's like 5 or 6 of them set up on the stairs
>Really cute girl sitting on one opposite of mine
>Our backs are turned away from each other
>Most of the classes are in session so we're the only ones occupying the outside of the department building

I feel like the only way to approach her would be to just walk up, say something like "Hey, mind if I sit with you?" and if that works ask her what she's working on, talk about classes, then say some shit like "I gotta go, can I get your number, maybe we can get coffee sometime?" but I feel like that'd be borderline creepy of me to do that. Wouldn't a girl under normal circumstances be uncomfortable by some stranger doing that?

Excuse my social autism on this, but I've only dated three girls before college, and they all came to me. I had to put minimal to absolutely no effort on the "chase".

Quit overthinking this shit. Talking to some dumb girl, no matter what she looks like is no different than talking to any other dumb person. Just approach them any way you would approach someone else.

I want you to realize these things that will help you accomplish this; this girl is a stranger. She is no one to you at this point in time and you are no one to her. Now take out the sex you want from your head and just make small talk shit about the weather or classes or SOME boring shit. This is how the gauging test begins with social interractions. You throw pointless shit at each other seeing how the other reacts. You try to make aqcuaintances or friends with people before you get any closer. You have to see if it's a person you want to get closer to.

So just shut the fuck up, sit down and say something about class or some shit. I mean introduce yourself, but don't make it some big fucking deal. And for fucks sake don't ask for her number upon first MEETING her, goddamn that is so obvious. You need to just get a step in, run into her a few times and test out your little interractions and go from there. Have you never made any relationship before on your own?

If you have it, a lot of lube on your dick for max appeal, stick your dick in the thing about 2/3 or 1/2 of the way in so you can see your dick in it at a good angle while holding the fleshlight.

yo adv
so I'm heterosexual definitively although I have no problem with lgbt groups and stuff, but I am heterosexual.
and lately I've been in this weird crisis because when I see hot girls it takes a bit of time to get fully aroused but for some reason I'll look at a guy and pop an instant boner.
now I'm attracted to girls, I'm in a relationship of about a year now and I maintain a healthy sexual life at that. I'm just a bit confused if anyone would like to clarify.

So you're bi curious? Leave your gf and go experiment with a dude if it's really bothering you that much

I considered it but I've concluded that it's not actually an attraction. like I don't know how to explain it any better, I guess it's somewhere that's not love and not lust.
>>
>>17494327
Well you're always going to wonder until you do something about it. You can stay with your gf and barely get hard, or you can go suck a dick (literally not figuratively), see if it turns you on, and go from there

How do I deal with abusive parents? They hit and punch me right in front of my younger siblings, and act as though I'm the source of all of their problems because I'm unemployed at the moment. I know from experience that if I had a job, they'd find something new to get mad at us over. Today, they threatened to call the cops on me for living here. I'm scared to leave, because I'm terrified to death that it will get passed on to my 16 year old brother. Honestly, how do I do this, because as I'm not a minor, it won't be considered child abuse.

I'm sick of them treating my younger siblings like they're nothing more than people who are just supposed to clean and they aren't supposed to complain when my parents call them "worthless fucking pigs" and stuff like that. I don't want my 11 year old sister to grow up thinking that this is a normal way for parents to act. They threatened to hit my sister today, but never went through with it, and then my mom played the victim card and started crying about it. My girlfriend in another state has offered to let me move in with her, but I'm just terrified of leaving them here with parents who are so blatantly abusive. I have a cut on my wrist from my dad slamming me into the wall, and he's more concerned with how I said the word "fuck" to him than how they treat us.

What do I do? Sorry if this was rambly. If you have any questions, please ask. Thank you.

OP, I'm here to tell you that everything is going to work itself out.

First things first. You have to be a good role model for your siblings. I don't know how much they look up to you, but you need to make a visible change in yourself, and you need to be there for them. When your parents hit you or are abusive, you need to look at your siblings and calmly say, this isn't the way to act. "This isn't normal." They're older, but people in those age groups are still impressionable.

You also need to get a job and your own place. You need to seek it proactively. Just between us anons, get out there and start looking!

It's funny, looking back, I always thought that I had a pretty normal childhood. But once I got out of my parents house, and started making connections in the real world, I found out that things were a lot different.

Don't worry about moving to another state with your gf. Get a job, save money, don't EVER, (AND I FUCKING MEAN IT), let your parents know about your financial situation. Save up a couple months worth of paychecks, and get your own apartment.

Then, once things have settled, you can move on from there.
>>
>>17494336
Thank you for the advice. The issue with telling my siblings that it isn't normal is that my parents take that as me "inciting a rebellion" and they get worse and bring them into it, despite the fact that my brother is 16, old enough to think for himself.

I had a job offered to me by a computer repair place recently, they told me I'd have an interview and I have a very high percent chance of getting hired just because I'm always available. My dad, for some reason, just refuses to believe it. He still holds it over my head that I failed a college class recently and am taking a semester off to think about what I want to do with my life.

Thank you, though, and I will keep this in mind!

About a week or 2 ago, I asked this girl that I met on Tinder out for a coffee date. She gave me and excuse about having some family and money issues, whether or not that was true I'm still not sure. We kept talking up till now, and today I asked her again.

>Me: So... did you ever reconsider meeting up for some coffee?
>Her: I'll let you know :)
>Me: Hmm... Alright.

How should I handle this. Is there hope? should I even bother? Am I too stupid to see a blatant rejection again?

Hey adv, I just got out of a relationship. I met this new girl and she's awesome, hella cute too. The only issue I have is that she has acne. I'm kinda ocd about this stuff.

Can I catch it if I spend a lot of time with her? & later down could I find solutions for her? Any other adv appreciated

>>Can I catch it if I spend a lot of time with her?
no, at least google what acne is first..

> later down could I find solutions for her?
Yes, but if a relationship is predicated on this as a necessity, you have absolutely no business dating her.

>>17494250
You just said she's hella cute so I'm sure you'll get over it.

>>17494283
You know that acne is caused by bacteria and that it is possible that it gets spread?

1mm would probably be too much. 0.2mm would probably remove the glitter without adversly affecting the page width.

My diagnosis is dysthymia, much like yours. Antidepressants have not made me a different person.

Nor are they supposed to. If you ever come to suspect that they are, then either you've gkt a very badly matched medication for your condition, or your dose is too high. Either way, if this happens, you need to switch, and any decent doc would recognize that

What is your experience with them? Have you regained passion? Become more productive?

>>17494137
I'm dysthymic with some cyclothymic traits (mood swings, basically, or bipolar lite), and my meds have not made me a different person either. They're supposed to be quite subtle.

My moods have improved. I am sometimes productive and sometimes passionate, although I'm still a lazy procrastinator at heart. But I don't hate myself for it as much as I once did.

I also credit therapy, despite a disinclination to like therapy (I tried, didn't connect with, and quit therapists after a few sessions half a dozen times). My last guy finally helped me out, and I stuck with it for a couple of years before I quit.

It is neither. Once you are dead there is no sweet release nor a pondering of mistakes. There's nothing.

Remember all the years before you were born? Kind of like that.

Is that some frog pocket? Anyway, suicide is being dead. It's real sexy and hurts real bad and then you stop thinking and start to rot.

Okay /adv/

I have a year until I graduate with an advanced degree and I'm trying to find a job in shutting down fraud activity. I did an internship related to it and I really enjoyed it. Problem is the internship had no jobs open and no real connections so I didn't stay in that place any longer than I had to. I wondering where I should start looking into jobs related to shutting down fraud activity. People tell me all kinds of different places I should look like credit card agencies, insurance, FBI, Homeland, etc. I'm not sure where to start, anyone have any ideas, or ideas of where I shouldn't look?
