Dress well but not overly so. You don't need a suit to work at a grocery store.
They'll ask you some questions about the job or responsibilities, like do you cook, do you know fruits and shit, are you fine doing physical labor, etc etc

Just answer honestly, but NEVER put yourself in a negative. Never ever ever. If you don't know or have no experience, just say so but follow with "but I'm always happy to learn"

>There's manual labor
It's just gonna be moving groceries and shit around.

They said up to 50 lbs of stuff.
I can lift that but multiple times a day? I don't have the endurance for that

Amphetamines.

Google voice? Whatever it I delete it NOW. Rare name and small town? If so MOVE you do not want to let her ruin your life it's her choice to keep it.

Good job, OP

You're a nigger

>>17445174
Just tell her you're
>suicidal
>too poor to raise the kid
>have a lawyer uncle who'll fight her in court if she demands pay for the kid

if you make yourself sound unappealing af she wont think the baby is worth the effort

>why does this piss me off so much?
Because you're an angsty teenager who has anger issues.

First of all, your mother obviously didn't love you.
Second, you have major anger issues.

You obviously have problems getting women and have to vent due to it.

TLDR: You already know the answer senpai.

Im 21 and mild mannered.

Something about this just set me off out of nowhere, like some sort of linguistical virus...

what is networking?

>>17445133
You have to know someone, I had one dumb ass Serbian classmate work in the UAE because his father's engineering buddy needed someone. The field was instrumentation which is a combination of all those three you mentioned.

Really? That's so fucking unfair... not that surprises me though...

Let's see if I find a rich Arab willing to "network" with me on linkedin... fml

Mainly, don't be a dick.

>being this young

The basic IRC etiquette is very much like IRL etiquette: nobody gives a shit what you do.

Why are you even on IRC? It's fucking 2016

>>17445152
I had used it sometimes (rarely) throughout the last decade. What do normal people mostly use as a substitute for IRC nowadays?

>>17445094
I like how you found it so necessary to mention race

>>17445121

Black people are lazy.

>>17445094
Your brother hooked up with a lazy ass ho who knew he was desperate.

I suggest you check out tommy sotomayor on Youtube because although your should NOT interact with the ho you need to know how they think, and not from a white person. Don't get turned off by his delivery, do listen to the content. Whites are NOT his intended audience. He is popular among positive blacks for reasons you will see.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bDYJVDDntQo

If I had a black friend who wanted to know about white trash I'd educate him because I'm white. Anything whites say or imply about blacks is suspect. It's not RACE, it's CULTURE. You'll figure it out.

She'd love a divorce to get that check. He'd be wise to see a lawyer but he's fucked.

You can't fix her, he can't fix her, and if you make the common but severe mistake of pointing out she's typical he'll hate you.

Go live your life, preferably as far away as practical. He's a fool, she's typical, the kid has no hope, and stupid younger brother can ONLY learn by experience.

No, and no. If it was consensual, then it wasn't rape. If you were coerced (though it doesn't sound like you were), then it's wrong that you were in that situation, but it's still not rape. Regardless of gender, regret =/= rape

If you said yes at the time then no it is not rape. If you're trying to cash in on some sort of Court ruling against the guy you had sex with, sorry but that's probably not going to hold up

>I didn't read past the first line before I chose to get mad

Like geocaching or for real?

I think I read about certain 'companies' / groups who ship around the sea and try to recover sunken ships for their cargo.

Most treasures are buried inland.

If you're serious about it, check for big roman cities (pref cities known for mining gold);
Buy a metal detector and a shovel;
Get rich.

Are you me?
Dont have an answer since im in the same boat.

Bump

I was literally like that not to long ago.
My girlfriend basically had to leave me cause of that and some other relationship issues, but noetheless still did the same as you right before she broke upcwith me.

What got me through it was the change of enviroment. If you cant change your environment, start doing abstract stuff that you wouldnt normally do or try. Keep your mind and self busy. Eventually you will find yur nitch and it will get better for you. It will take time and effort on your part.

>>17445205
Also to add to this.

Start doing something that you wouldnt normally do. Keep doing it even if you feel uncomfortable, eventually you will have done it so much that it becomes second nature. It helps transition you into a new routine and make it easier to enjoy picking up new hobbies. Then the socialization will gradually come back. By then you should have a better perspective on your old self. And will try to avoid getting into that state of mind with better success.

Smoke in your lungs is always harmful, its not just because of the tobacco plant, it the burning matter aswell

>>17445042
I realize that smoking anything creates tar, I'm convinced that modern tobacco growing techniques make it really really harmful.

>>17444996
Mint, lemongrass and sage, green tea, chamomile (kind of harsh). What's an herb you like the fragrance of? Try smoking that. You can in fact get a slight caffeine buzz from smoking tea, a slight sedative effect from chamomile, and so on, although it's so mild that it's hard to distinguish from a simple placebo effect.

Like the anon above said, this really isn't going to be much better for you than smoking tobacco. Granted you're not getting any nicotine, which is physiologically addictive, so there's that, but it's mainly not the nicotine that causes cancer and so on, it's the fact that you're inhaling a lot of burnt plant material, which is just bad news. Honestly, healthwise you'd be better off with an ecig, whether you fill it with the goop that contains nicotine or not. You're worrying about the wrong shit.

tl;dr

you get better at talking to new people by going out and talking

>BUT I DID THAT AND I HAVENT GOTTEN BETTER

than you are some magical special retardesque snowflake that is destined to miserable and lonely forever :^)

as for meeting women, here we go:
advice

>dont just hit on a woman

its no secret that women are the ones who are approached, and they make decisions on which men to keep in their lives. that being said, desperately drooling over each and every girl as if they are a potential love interest is silly.

give yourself more value by not letting a woman sway you on first impressions alone. before you ever begin to say anything remotely flirtatious, talk to the girl. see what she actually acts like when you interact with her. have a normal conversation. if there isnt anything special there beyond her looks, friendzone her. or simply stop talking to her. you do not need to hit on each and every girl that looks good enough to be your partner.

doing this gives you more value, and the psychological effects are great. in addition, women will take you more seriously. instead of being 1 of 500 men in new york who went straight for the kill, you took the time to get to know them. whether it goes anywhere or not, this approach also just gives you practice talking to girls in a casual context. its less pressure than trying to impress them.

>>17445007
>only ever use dating apps as a supplement to your real life dating.

dating apps are toxic. consider the following
>people use dating apps because they arent having much luck in real life
>they go to a dating app where they are introduced to an entire smorgasbord of men who want nothing more than to bang and/or date them
>after just one day they will have seen everyone in their area
>within one week they would have talked to everyone they are interested in

so anyone who has been using the app for more than a few weeks clearly has some sort of issue. likely, they are the female equivelent of what i discussed in my first post.

they want a 'bf' but because they have a very specific idea of what a bf is, they arent finding it anywhere. instead of seeing if they have real chemistry, they are simply walking down the aisle, trying to figure out what is the ONE thing at the groccery store they can buy, based solely on pictures and labels.

if a woman is on tinder for too long, they are losing their ability to feel chemistry.

you as a man can fall into a very similar pattern here, but with the added harshness of constant rejection.

it is an app made for people who want to date, yet no one seems to have success there for very long. that should tell you something.

OP here, this is my other problem:

Here is the other problem that is colliding with the one above:

>2 yo relationship with GF, we’ve lived very bad moments but very beautiful ones too, right now we are excellent.
>Have a best friend, a girl i met 1 year and a half ago, we both seemed to like each other from the very beginning and since it was only physical we never did something.
>Past May everything changed, I was having a bad time with my GF and i ended up making out with my friend. (Who by the time thought I was single, which I wasn’t).
>Since that time I can say I developed some strong feelings for her but they are not remotely close to the ones I have for my GF.
>Feel like shit for being a cheater.
>Both of them are now in the same schedule as I am at college (we’re all in the same university).
>I see them every day and my heart gets crushed a little bit because i hate to do this to my GF but I can’t seem to erase those feelings for my friend. (Who has too, developed strong feelings for me and has openly said that she would like a relationship with me, but now that she knows I’m still with my GF she has taken a step to the side and I know she suffers everytime she sees me at school with my GF).

Yeah, I know those problems are nothing compared to what other people goes through, but those 2 things are crushing me and I no longer enjoy everything.

>mfw passed from casual smoker to a total chimney because of the stress and anxiety.

And yes, I know that one of the two could’ve been prevented if I cared about their feelings.

>>17444957
About the GF situation, you need to make up your mind fast or risk losing both of them. If you see a future with your current gf, don't throw it away just because you have options.

It's good that you felt bad about cheating on her, it means that you're not a cunt. So don't become one.

Fishing for Alaskan King crabs or some type of crazy fishing is high risk and you make a lot.

Was getting a job as a software dev hard? The fuck did they ask you to do?

>>17444959
nah, it was super easy to get hired, but I do have a degree. free lancers with no degrees is more difficult. during my first day they told me specifically what I'd be doing. I had about 3 weeks to learn android development and getting used to the codebase. during that time they gave me very minor bug fixes to do (X label is off centered, Y colors are not consistent across pages). after that the difficulty scaled up a bit, I had to implement ads, user login, deep links. but I just found it insufferable to work a desk job 8 hours a day. I have no idea why the hell I got that degree in the first place.

>>17444989
im finishing a degree soon is why im asking and its what i want to do.

Im reviewing this cracking the coding interview book, going over data structures. I have no idea how intense this interview will be. I want to do like software dev, web dev, or app dev. I only know c++ and javascript enough to put it on a resume. Taking an internet app w/java in the fall hopefully i learn java well enough.

Any input for me?


For you:
They have oil fields in texas and they need people to work them. I forget what, but its manual labor/hard as hell but pays well. They also have oil wells at sea. Someone was telling me about it once.

shameful bump

If you don't have enough money, then yes, obviously.

>>17445443
Honestly you're probably right. Just a bummer because I hate living with my parents after getting a taste of glorious freedom.

Cheers, anon
