So I'm in a bit of a pick /adv/
I had a summer assignment for a class due in what is about 7 hours from now. Only problem is, I blew it off until the last second only to find out that I don't have all of the handouts needed to complete the assignment. I've completed as much of it as I can, but I've now come to the point where I cannot do anything else without the handouts.
At this current point in time, the solution I've come up with is to just own up to my mistake and take responsibility for it, but if there is any other solution, any bluff I can make to get me out of it, I am willing to try it. Should I accept what's coming to me or think of another way?
Given that it's due 7 hours from now, no excuse you give is going to cut it. Just accept the consequences.
Gonna have to just own up and learn from your mistakes bro. Not gonna sit here and shit talk you because I'd wager the majority of college students on 4chan have been in your situation. Just don't make it a habit and life will go on.
Realistically you should just accept the consequences and don't let it happen again.. but you COULD try saying that a drink got spilled on the handouts when you were mid-work or something. Is the assignment itself being submitted digitally? You could purposely corrupt the file and try to get pics of the handouts from a classmate.
Relationship advice: Unsure if I should marry
>Bf and I have been dating almost 2 years
>Great guy who's been super supportive of my life decisions
>He just spent over $700 to fix my car
>Also offered to help pay bills and to help me go back to school
>talked about getting married a lot
>I work a part time retail job that pretty much only pays my bills
>he just got good paying job with benefits
>offered to elope so I could get insurance
>My free state insurance doesn't cover my medication or therapy
>We picked out a date next month and now I'm having major second thoughts.
All you've talked about is his financial support to you, and said nothing about the romance and your feelings towards him.
>>17469267
I'm assuming he is kind to you, isn't abusive in any way. So going off that assumption, honey, you will never do better. You struck gold. There isn't anyone out there who would do all of that for you. Time to shit or get off the pot. If you don't want marriage, you need to leave. Just realize you're leaving a really great thing.
But if he's abusive or a dick or you fight a lot or there are other red flags for why you are hesitant to marry, then don't. Be honest. Then it's time to get ready to leave. Because if a guy is abusive in some way, you have no business staying with him, regardless of what he does for you.
>>17469279
He's not abusive at all. He just does things that are frustrating at times. He says a lot of offensive things without thinking and he's really forgetful. He lies about forgetting things and lies about things he know will upset me (like skipping class). I know his whole heart is invested in me, but I also know I'm young and I'm scared that my feelings will change and that's not fair to him.
Why do people get a little touchy when you ask them for recommendations on a particular subject of media?
As in, if you want to get into a specific genre(s) of music, books, comics, etc. or certain directors of movies, tv shows, plays, etc. Why do some people, usually those who engulf themselves in said genres, directors, mediums, become touchy and reluctant when you ask them for recommendations to start out with or where to look?
Often, the conversations go like:
>Man, I really want to get into <XYZ>.
>Oh man, I love <XYZ + what they like about it>!
>Ah, do you have any recommendations?
>Aw, gee, well, I don't know... ._.
And they just grow quiet and wary. And it's mostly women that do this (or so I've noticed).
I don't understand this behaviour. It keeps coming off like a big "fuck you!" for not already knowing about something you want to know more about.
>>17469265
Maybe they're insecure about the extent of their knowledge of the subject. If they give bad/embarrassing recommendations, they'll look stupid. And the art you like is often tied up with your personal identity; people might not like to expose their inner life to someone they don't know that we'll. Maybe I'm just talking shit, I dunno.
>>17469265
Making recommendations can be tough because unless you're dealing with a really open person, or someone who's got really similar tastes, people don't really like the stuff you recommend, simply because they don't "get" it like you do. Where DO you start? With what's most digestible? With what's most typifying? And how do you figure out what is most digestible or typifying of that genre/artist/director? It's not like a show, movie, or book series, where you can say "go in chronological order."

Help me /adv/, I have to give in my two weeks on Saturday for a job I've had for a month. How do I do it in a way that least pisses off the managers?
>>17469263
Why does it matter? You're leaving anyways. I mean think of it logically if they literally pick on you it's only 2 weeks then you're free. Good luck, Senpai
-ikaika
>>17469263
Why bother? It's not like you can use that experience on a resume, anyway. It'd hurt you in the long run to admit that you worked somewhere for only a month.
If it were me, I'd just not show up. Just make sure it's at the end of a pay period, so you're not waiting around on a final check.
>>17469269
The problem is, if I leave without two weeks warning, I'll be put on a "don't rehire" list and I want to keep the option open in the future. I'm not quitting because I hate the job, I'm quitting because I won't have time to work during the school year, and since this is my last year I can probably pick up the job again when it's over.
I need some advice now more than I ever have.
I've been with my current girlfriend for 8 months and I love her to bits.
In a couple weeks we are both going to college. Our schools are a 2-3 hour train ride apart, so we might be able to see each other a couple times a semester, but not very often.
A few months ago we were planning on having an open relationship, then as we fell deeper in love we decided we couldn't do an open relationship.
We've been away from eachother for about a month because of summer jobs being in different states, and we were video chatting and she said she wanted an open relationship. I was a bit heartbroken. I felt insulted. I can't imagine her being with another guy, and I was disgusted by the idea of it.
I want to be able to be ok with her being with another guy if there were no feelings involved, but I just can't handle it. I'd feel way too insecure. It would just be awful.
After she told me she wanted an open relationship I hung up and cried for an hour, and I only cry a couple times a year.
I then called her back and she said I misunderstood her. She is just nervous that college will be stressful and she might be unfaithful even though she's not planning on it.
I just don't know what to do.
I'm not as upset at her as I was, but I still could never in a million years handle her being with other guys.
I need help.
Has anyone been through something similar to this?
I know I already made this post, but I accidentally deleted it
Already answered you
Hope you at least read it, i was the first reply
Btw this was her reply.
Is it bs??
>>17469229
Yeah I read it. Thank you for your reply.
This is very tough for me and I'm glad to know I'm not alone.
I'm an attractive guy, have never had any issue talking to, dating, or having sex with women. But i've never been in love and I don't really know what it would feel like, is there a such thing as "The One"?
>>17469220
probably not
>>17469220
Yes there is but by faith you haven't met 'The One' but be aware usually the quiet girls are the ones. Good luck, Senpai
Marked by, Ikaika.
>>17469275
I tend to not do well with quiet girls because I'm pretty confident. Maybe modesty would make approaching them easier?
How do you deal with the fact that your entire life, you're just going to be a massive loser?
I'm almost 22, and it's finally hitting home that not only can I never be the best in the world at anything, I'm never even going to be great at anything. None of my hobbies or interests are anything that I'll ever excel at, I'm just going to be a mediocre loser my entire life.
How do you cope with that? I want to matter, but I hate having suck at everything I love to do
>>17469211
well the main thing you gotta do is stop beating yourself up for not being superman. I'm not, your folks aren't, nobody is. name any IRL person you look up to: newsflash, they're not superman either. people who are legit best in the world at something are extremely rare. and even they're not superman. plus a lot of them are dysfunctional or unbalanced in other ways.
this is the way of the world and there's *nothing wrong with it.* it's just how it is. if you think it's not okay, it's because YOU decided it wasn't okay. or maybe someone told you that you could/should be the best at something, in which case you have to deal with that just like you'd deal with any other lie you've been told. or you're like me and figured that if being good at things is good, and being excellent is better, then being perfect is the logical end and we should all strive for that. which leads to the belief that being just okay is not okay.
so change it. decide that you are okay. decide it every day. decide that you are good enough, not for all time, but you are good enough for today. yeah it's hard. goodness knows I've struggled with it for years. decades. but it does get easier.
I'm not saying that it's not okay to try to be better at things. you should want to be better at things. but what you're doing, OP, is you're drawing a finish line in the sand wayyyy out there in narnia, and then kicking yourself in the nuts because you're never gonna get get there.
cont
cont from >>17469318
what people with a healthy outlook do is draw a finish line in the sand way out there, but they also draw one a lot closer, one they can get to. then when they get to that closer line, they go "cool, I made it!" and draw another one further out. then they get to that one. and so on. and maybe they get to that awesome finish line and maybe they don't. but they accomplished *something* and they got a fuck of a lot farther than they would have by just standing there going "gee that finish line is far away."
if you want to know how to do this in a realistic way, start reading about zen and taoism. not even joking. you don't have to be a monk or do a bunch of meditation or anything, just read about it and think about it. try to apply it. yes it takes time.
you wanted to know how to deal with never being the best at things, with just being a human being. that is how. you have to be realistic and focus on what you can accomplish, not what you can't. and then enjoy yourself as much as you can in the process. and that's all you can do. anybody who expects more is being unrealistic. so be realistic.
you are not a loser. if you call yourself a loser for not being the best in the world at something, then I wanna see you call up your parents, your friends, everybody you look up to, and call them losers too. because they're all fucking imperfect and struggling with their own mediocrity too.
>>17469318
can relate. I have massive talent in a field and am sort of niche famous, but am so backwards and eccentric.
I literally can't even relate with other humans.
It's a burden for me. I almost wish I didn't have talent so I didn't feel responsible to work so hard and achieve something for myself and others.
I am trying to ruin someone's life. I need help.
Me and my husband recently decided trying being poly. I had only dated virgins, and this guy I knew in highschool was talking himself up. After asking permission, we hooked up.
It was fun for awhile, but the guy got possessive, which I didn't mind because my husband isn't a jealous person, and occasionally I like the attention
Sometimes we'd have phoen conversations, and play around, and I'd tell him things to inflate his ego. I assured him afterwards it was only for playing purposes.
But my husband got uncomfortable with the idea, so I had to break it off. The guy I was fooling with didn't take it well. Long story short, there's a video, and some phone conversations I don't want getting out. He's mostly left me alone but he messages me every few months.
Everytime I turn him down he threatens me with showing my husband the video and the conversations. We just had a baby, and I don't want any issues
I need something to hold over this jackasses head, so he knows not to fuck with me. I'm not beyond saying he's a rapist if it gets him out of my life, but I know how difficult that can be. Has anyone had success?
How though? He has the videos and messages....unless you take his cellphone you can't do anything...
Just fyi you are only anonymous to other posters and what you're attempting to do sounds illegal.
There's a baby involved. Explain to your husband these texts and videos and that they were produced during your relationship's poly phase. Sounds like this guy is bluffing anyways. What'd you say that's so bad? That he has a bigger dick than your husband?
Don't go to jail over this dumb shit.
>>17469205
>I'm not beyond saying he's a rapist if it gets him out of my life, but I know how difficult that can be. Has anyone had success?
as a femanon I have to say, please don't do this. if you do, then I hope karma kicks you in the cunt even more than your bad decisions already have. we have enough fucking problems without people like you making the false-rape-accusations stereotype worse.
honestly the best thing you can do right now is hope he doesn't do anything, and if he does, lawyer up and deny everything. if you want to make his life hell, do it through straightedge legal channels. completely aboveboard. no shady shit. that way, if it should backfire on you, you don't end up looking worse.
which leads into another general piece of advice that I give often on this board, and in your case it applies to anything from false rape accusations to counter-blackmail to whatever other sketchy shit you might think of to do:
if you have to ask 4chan how to do something underhanded, illegal, or potentially illegal, then you do not have what it takes to get away with it! people who have the ability to pull off something like that already know what to do. there is nothing you can learn from oily comsci majors on a nepalese beekeeping forum that will assure your success.
just learn from your mistakes, and either give up being poly or do a better job of vetting your play buddies.
How does someone move into the ghetto of a large city because they are poor?
Or is there separate poor areas for whites
>>17469201
if you aren't apart of the race the ghetto is apart of it's likely you're going to get murdered or robbed. Most white places are trailer parks, which don't generally exist by cities. it's easy to do it though.
>he's back
>>17469201
Just by that post I can already tell you are going to get eaten alive if you actually move into a ghetto. You should go be poor somewhere outside a city. Otherwise Jamal and Paco are going to take turns stretching out your asshole.
Give me some good places in Melbs to get cooked at and what nights. Places I've heard of: Hidden forest, wah wah and cloud.

How do I stop being so stoic?
Someone called me stoic tonight and that really resonated with me as to why I have a lot of trouble connecting with people and making friends. I'm not necessarily shy or afraid of speaking to people, I just seldom show emotion or energy. I must come across as cold and unfriendly to people.
How to I become more friendly and approachable without overdoing it?
>stoic
Your friend doesn't know what that word means and you are probably over reading his comment too much unless you got serious issues
>>17469053
Being stoic is a good thing. Are you sure your friend meant it as a criticism?
You're most likely not stoic and probably not even knows what it means
Stoicism isn't having no emotions, it's not letting your emotions overtake your reason or influence your decision making skill and coordination during stressful situations.
Behaving like a dork because you think it makes you look cool and mature isn't stoicism.
Previously I had only lived in apartments and dorms. The type of small living areas with only one entrance/exit. Recently I got a real job and moved in to a 3 bedroom house in the suburbs with someone else. The other guy who lives here is usually gone for weeks at a time, leaving me here by myself. Compared to all the places I've lived before, this place is huge with many entryways, and many windows.
My work has me getting back home pretty late. I've found now that when I get home, I absolutely have to walk around with my pistol and clear every room, checking the windows and doors to make sure they're locked and the closets are clear.
I know there's almost certainly not going to be anyone in there, but I just can't feel safe until I've done this. To make matters worse, my neighbor across the street had a break-in just a few weeks ago. Anyone know if this feeling will go away eventually? Any way to fight it?
*Knock Knock*
Hey OP you mind if I come out under this hole, I need a snack to alleviate my hunger
It may ease up iver time but you are starting to become compulsive with the checking and routine. Try switching that up so it doesn't become a ritual.
>>17469052
If you're an anxious person, as seems to be the case given the fact you are going through this, the likelihood that it will just "go away" is not very good.
For your sanity, get a home alarm system. You don't have to get one of those expensive monitored systems from ADT. You can pick up a system at Costco or just order one online. It will sound locally, so you can hear it if someone opens a door or window. A 100-200 dollar investment will save your sanity.
How much pineapple do you need to eat to make semen/pussy juice start tasting sweet?
Similar to op, but if I eat enough hot sauce, can I make my semen spicy?
>>17469015
its less about amount and more about what else you eat.
You can eat 20 cans of pineapple and drink pure pineapple juice but it doesnt matter if you counteract it with dairy and steak.
It takes about 6-10 hours for what u eat to start being excreted, so if ur planning it for a hot night, start drinking and eating ONLY pineapple and water 10 hours head and keep it going the entire time.

Good thing my gf's vegan then
Help. I'm super lazy, unmotivated, and don't like people. My highest education level is high school.
What's a job that allows me to be lazy and keep people interaction at a minimum?
Something I could realistically find a position in, not things like professional hotel sleeper or English teacher in China.

Oh boy, you do NOT come here to ask these types of questions without getting roasted.
But, to be honest, you could. It would look OK on you, even doe it's kinda faggy.
