Hello adv,
Right now I'm working at Hastings for $7.73/hour. (Normal Floor Worker)
I applied for a job at McDs for a position that pays $9/hour, they haven't called me back and said not to call them. (Literally Anything they'd give me.)
I was also offered a manger position at Hastings for $8.25/hour, under the contingency that I would stay at Hastings till the liquidation was over. (I'd rather not be a Manager, but it'd look good on my resume[Although nowhere has ever asked for my resume...])
Should I reapply for the better paying McDs job, or give up and take the manger position for the time being?

What happens if you quit sooner?
>>
>>17411671
Look at it as an investment in your future. You can relay the management position at Hastings into something bigger.
The McDonalds' job could absolutely be dead-end. And all you're left with is you nine dollars an hour and fry grease.
>>
>>17411681
If I quit sooner, I'd be out of a job.
Unless you mean, I take the Manager Position then quit before. In that case, I'll have lied to and broken the trust of an employer. Aka, not a good thing to do.
>>17411686
That's what I was thinking, but I'm not sure I want to be a manager.
I guess, if I take the job, worse case, I reapply at McDs after the liquidation is over.

Should short guys even bother trying to date online, or should I just stick to meeting women in real life?

I don't think short guys should date at all.
It's bad for the gene pool.
>>
males shouldn't try to date online at all
if you're attractive enough to get women online you don't need to
otherwise, you won't find anyone
>>
My face is asymmetrical, I look about sixteen, and I don't have a degree or any real money. I guess that's the dating site equivalent to being really short (if not worse).
My success with women in my age range when I hit on them in person is like 60-70%.
My experience on that dating site was to be considered for a few seconds by a couple of black women and a transsexual, then ignored by literally everyone.
So yeah I could see why you would prefer sticking to real life.

Money doesn't provide happiness.
I spent my whole life working hard in school, studying math and science and learning how to discover empirical truths about the world.
Then I went to college and studied computer science because software is one of the things I like most in this world, mainly because of how logical and precise you must be, and that is how I like to be
Then I got a job at a top software company, I make loads of money now and got a fat check 5 figure check in my bank yesterday
The check did not even remotely make me happy, at most I thought "Yay I can afford to splurge on a nice dinner tonight and go buy a new video game without feeling selfish for spending money" but I ate that dinner alone and haven't even bothered to take that video game out of its box yet
I'm miserable and I thought this was the solution - accomplish your dreams, be successful, keep learning and you don't need to be socially competent, just keep working hard and you'll be okay in life
Nope, sitting in that restaurant alone with my full bank account and I still wondered why I bother to be alive
Kill me

Wow, you came up with that all on your own?
>>
well the good news is that becoming socially competent is easier than accomplishing all you have, and the money you make will definitely support you on your journey towards becoming who you want to be. I'd say hire a good therapist, a *good* therapist.

perhaps sharing your money with me, a useless neet, will help you attain a greater sense of happiness? let me know.
I'm eating to make the pain go away. Luckily, I live an active life and have some restraint, but I could be sexy if I stopped. Should I try drinking instead? Something needs to eat the pain. I don't have a gaming PC, nor do I have a woman who hasn't tried to complicate my life. I can't get overtime either. What's it gonna be?

This. If you expect a gf to fix all your problems and make everything perfect you're in for a rude awakening

I feel like I'm losing my mind
Any time I take acid or smoke weed I get these weird thoughts, weird feelings, weird "realizations" like I've figured out the secret to life - and that this secret is that there's no fucking point and it's all a big cosmic joke
Vivid hallucinations that I am nothing more than a background person in some higher being's dream and once he wakes up I'll be gone
Vivid hallucinations that the world is nothing more than a simulation in a digital computer in some other dimension, and that the binary nature of all human choices (do this or don't do this) is a manifestation of the mathematical realities of the computing platform (a binary one) upon which our simulation is built. Emergent mathematical tendencies. The laws of physics are just the result of the underlying rules of the finite state automaton that defines all of existence. The existence of atoms is analogous to the existence of gliders in Conway's game of life. The underlying mechanism of quantum physics is the lazy evaluation of the state of the universe.
Everything I think just points towards "it's all a simulation and I should kill myself to escape"
Hallucinations that everything I've ever read in my life, every historical figure I've ever read about is simply nonexistent and that I, myself, and only myself - my mind - we are the only things that truly exist and everything else is a fantasy
Tell me you're sentient too, tell me I'm not alone in my observation of this weird realm through my eyes ears and nose - tell me I'm not insane and it's just these drugs. Tell me to never do them again
Help me, I'm a successful guy, I'm reasonably smart and well educated and feel like I'm losing it after taking these psychedelics.

What are some good first date ideas to ask girls, besides the obvious standard of just going and having coffee somewhere? What do you do different?

I'm married now, but my advice for someone getting into dating or trying to start a relationship is to focus on the discourse and relationship building more than the activities or anything else.
It doesn't matter what you're doing as long as it provides an opportunity for you to talk and get to know each other. No one gets to know someone by watching a movie in a theater with them, but you can learn a lot by discussing the movie afterwards.
>>
>>17411499
Same married dude here. In addition, figure out what they like to do ASAP and do that with them. For instance, when I was dating my wife, I went shopping at JCP with her or looked at makeup in Sephora. I also made a point to get to know her family. Her dad is a hunter, so I went shooting with him to build some trust.

Should I buy Overwatch? Does it have a high learning curve? Is it a good competitive outlet? Will it be around for a while? Will my $s spent to hours played drive the per hour price down to pennies? Will it help me get a gf? Or just laid? I need to know cause I may drop an mmo for this. Or,at least severely cut back.

I'm pretty sure this will not help you get ladies. In fact I'm pretty sure playing MMOs full stop is normally a large negative for women.

About an hour ago and out of nowhere my gfs best friend told me she did porn years ago and linked me the vid. It's fucking disgusting and literally just on a free porn site. Although I never asked "hey have you done porn" I think something like this should have been discussed we've been together for just over 2 years.
I feel as if I should completely cut her out of my life and link the video on facebook so all of our friends and family get to see how much of a whore she is.
Anyway I completely lost my shit and packed all her clothes and shit up, it's all sitting in the lounge room, we live together and I own the home but because we've been living together for so long we're defacto and she could probably come after me for money, I never thought she would before but if she has been hiding this who fucking knows what type of person she really is.
Am I over reacting or am I doing the right thing? Her friend is still texting me asking if I'm ok etc she's obviously only done this to split us up but even with that knowledge why should I stay with this whore?

Do break up with her if you feel this strongly, but no reason to share the link on Facebook or anything.

Yeah, don't do that. She fucked up, no need to drag her through the mud.

>>17411433
Because she herself might be incredibly regretful and ashamed of her past behaviour and not want to dredge up the past? You've been with her 2 years, talk it out and empathise.

>live in rich family

>don't mind because I think she's a good person

>she calls me to tell me she's pregnant
>says I can go on with my life
>"Ok."

After sitting down and thinking for a while I think that's literally impossible, because:
>only had sex 3 times in total
>always wore condom
>she wasn't on "her days" (I know because last time we had sex was after getting out of a swimming pool)
>STILL made her take pills because I was a paranoid fuck

I wouldn't be surprised if she had cucked me during or after our relationship, because she would always send me screenshots of messages from unknown people that try to seduce her only to prove me she was loyal, but she kept replying to them anyways. She sent me about 6 of these.
The thing is, she keeps calling me and sending me messages even though she said it was over, telling me how I'm a coward and stuff for not taking responsibility. Just how high are the chances that she's not bullshitting and that she's not just desperately trying to get her rich boy back to her? What would be the right actions to do if that was the case? I can't stop feeling the guilt either way, this situation makes me feel like a criminal on the loose, even if I'm nearly sure this is all a fake. What do, /adv/?

Do nothing for now, but insist on a paternity test when the child is born. Let the girl know this
Don't promise anything, don't be guilted into anything.

Also, maybe talk to your parents about this?

I had two dates with this girl, I haven't heard from her for a week. I found her twitter and she said she went on the most awkward date just for free food.
Thing is she told me she really liked me and she made out with me a few times, in fact our last encounter she pulled me aside and made out with me as I was leaving. We talked all night, played pool, saw a movie. I just can't recall being awkward.
Anyway she said she's "into foreign guys now" so I guess there's another guy and her criticisms about me are only excuses to leave me.

am super socially awkward. I've tried to get over it by reading books, studying charisma techniques, and listening to lectures. However every so often, my social awkwardness shines through and I look like an idiot. How do you recover from those situations?

It's life mate. Everyone fucks up at some point, you can only laugh at yourself. People will have forgotten it 5 minutes later, if that
>>
Not OP but an additional question; what's a good environment for finding people to speak with that one shouldn't need to worry about running into again?
>>
>>17411244
This.
And learn how to be comfortable being an authentic version of yourself. Not a lot of people can force charisma.
I know a woman who's husband committed suicide after 4 years of marriage. He left a note, but it was about future plans with her and never mentioned his death or that he wanted to die. What could that mean?

It was actually murder

Did he write about the plans like he still wanted to do them, or were they all written in past tense like,
"I wanted to have kids with you, I wanted to take you to Paris, etc?"

she murdered him after discovering his future plans.
Yo , I'm from Texas , but I love video games , I had a PC and a ps4 , my parents always hated video games and called them stupid , I've always made good grades and shit with the occasional fuck up. But Apparently I spent to much time and my step dad smashed my PC and sold my PS4 without my permission , and never gave me the money for either ( I paid for both ) then proceeded to say that I'm shot out of luck because I don't get that money back because apparently " I had already spent it on medical bills " , parents are assholes , and I told them I'm willing to settle for one system as a Ps4 or a good gaming PC , any advice on how to convince the overbearing assholes

Get old enough and move out because if you're telling the truth, your step dad seems emotionally fucked up.

You gotta be 18 to post here , youngfag.
How about you actually grow as a person instead of stagnating playing shitty video games.
Unless you're actually learning programming, project management, studying acting or making youtube video cash playing games, you're a lazy little shit riding on the coat tails of others.
Grow up and start learning how to adult.
