I love writing code. I love technology and security. It would be my dream to smoke weed and write code/administrate a data center or something like this. I would love to have a lab set up like EEVblog or a shop like AVE to mess around in.
I dropped out of High school because I didn't have the social skills, I was bullied, and tired and spent too much time smoking weed. I was suspended for "hacking" into the school network and banned from the computers the rest of my high school education (I was a freshman at the time) I basically at that point said "fuck you". With my interests in computers you make me hand write my papers.
I got into some things on the computer I shouldn't have and ended up on juvenile probation. I wasn't allowed to leave the house, had an ankle monitor, etc. I had to travel 5 hours to and from classes each week and report to probation. I loved smoking weed and never stopped. They could take my freedom, monitor me, but no way I'm not gonna smoke. I eventually ended up in jail for my stubborn ways, and spent 6 months in there which I should have done in the beginning. The charges were brought when I was 17, I got out of jail after failed probation, etc when I was 21.
I was homeless at times, paranoid and anxious all the time. Still kind of am.
Now I still think I want to work with computers, I think I do at least. I cannot get into Job Corps because of my history, and have been thinking about community college but have been having some issues getting federal aid due to IRS bullshit, and not having my GED. I don't know what I should do or where I should go. I want to be happy more than anything. In jail I felt like I had a purpose, now I feel so alone and worthless.
What should I do? I'd love to move to Europe or Japan but don't know if I legally can. What can I do to gain training and education? I would love a masters in computer science or electrical engineering, but I'd be happy with a CCNA, A+, or OffSec certification.

With your interest and experience, couldn't you at least get a job? You could write a CV detailing what kind of stuff you've done and apply for companies.

>>17404181
I'd say work on a project with me but you're probably too dangerous. Get an internetship/starting level job, lie on the resume if you have to(within reason) get a year/2 of experience and move up the tech ladder like that every year/2 depending on how well you perform.
>>
I'm really not that dangerous, I made a mistake as a juvenile and the US government made sure I knew not to ever do that again. Honestly at the time I thought that what I was doing was legal, i told myself i was underage and it wasn't that serious, boy was I wrong. We all make stupid mistakes as kids.
Right now I just want a purpose and to be happy. It would be so fun to go to a code camp, or college. I don't have a social life or friends right now.

Anyone else absolutely fucking hate going to the barber? I don't think I've had a good barber experience in my entire life.
Here are my last two visits:
>Ask good looking friend who has nice haircut what kind of haircut that is
>He says "I guess you could call it an undercut with faded sides"
>ok
>Find some highly rated trendy barber shop on yelp called elite cuts or something
>Walk in, I'm the only person there
>Some dyke looking chick with a manly haircut appears from behind a wall immediately asks me if I'm ready
>Awkwardly say yes and walk over to the seat
>Asks what I want
>Say "Give me an undercut with like the faded sides"
>She says "Do you want like a 1 on the side and back?"
>"A what?"
>"Like a 1 razor on the sides"
>I have no idea how long that is
>She points to a part of her head and says it's this long
>Still have no idea
>"Give me like 3 to a 1"
>Trying to get the message across that I want the sides to be faded somehow
>"So like a 1?"
>"uh yeah"
>Just want to die at this point
>She then proceeds to shave off my sides and back really short and doesn't touch anything else
>Done within 2 minutes
>No fade
>Pretty much bald on the sides and incredibly long on top
>I look like a literal faggot
>"Looks good" I say
>Go over to pay
>She has the weirdest look on her face like I'm a fucking retard.
>She didn't once smile the whole time
>Accidentally overtip her because I just wanted to pay and get out of there as fast as I can

>Place is crowded

>Say I just want to cut the top in half
>Trying to even my hair out more from the last haircut

>"Do nothing with the sides and back"
>She looks at me with bewilderment

>"Oh...r-round please yeah"
>Just kill me now
>She does her thing
>Gum smacking right next to my ear
>After she's done she asks "You don't want anything done with the bangs right?"
>Realize that bangs aren't part of "top"
>"Uhh yeah I wanted them cut just like my top"
>Mishears me I guess and says "Oh I already did your top"
>Too autistic to correct her.
>Leave the barber shops with bangs really long and top medium length
>I don't look that noticeably different than I did when I came in
>20 dollars gone
>Walk out of there wanting to hang myself
Why can't I just go in and say "You're the expert, give me whatever you think looks good on me"?
>tfw I just want a good looking haircut for once.

Go to a male barber. What kind of dumbass can't understand a fade. Sorry you had shit barbers OP but don't let them get away with this shit either.

This is literally all I do, I don't know about fucking hair, that's their job. The place I go to also gives a fucking awesome head massage and a beer. Can't get better than that.

Looks like a blister not a burn. How did you get it? Im assuming some form of yardwork?
If it was a burn it would be much more red and inflamed. And burn blisters are much bigger than that usually.

So the general manager of my company is prejudicial, rude, and harasses people. But it's only borderline to the point where he's pushing the envelope, but not enough to be reported for anything serious.
Who can I tell? Because the worker morale at my company has fucking plummeted since he got here. We all used to be a family, and now everyone is jumping ship, and/or staying here begrudgingly until they can find something better.

Tell him, privately, that he is making things difficult. Don't call him out in the open. Try to be nice about it, even if he is a huge cunt. Hopefully he will get the message.

find out if they have authority to fire you
if not, then you don't need to listen to them until their boss gets involved
at which point things get a little murky and depends on how you can handle the stiatuion

Ladies, what are some subtle indicators you use gage a man's sexual experience?

You're assumjng that subtle indicators are even needed. The oversexed and the late virgins are generally not very subtle about it at all.
>>
>>17404034
so what are those not-so-subtle indicators the oversexed and the late virgins give?
>>
>>17403974
As a 30 year old male with roughly 65 different sexual partners in my life; I've learned to keep a poker face when it comes to my sexual experience indicators.
I make them laugh but don't talk about myself too much, this keeps my mystique and their interest high. No physical advances until 2-3 date.
Even then a kiss, not a make-out session, just a slightly open mouth kiss.
Always leave them wanting more.
I play the slow game; sluts are too easy of prey.
Is there any reason why someone would be fixated with sex despite of having no will or desire to do it?
I don't want sex and I can't masturbate but my thoughts keep still going back to it again and again and it's very annoying.

probably because of the over saturation of sexual media. you hang out on 4chan which means you see a lot of porn, and what little you dont see of porn is people talking about sex or relationships, which inevitably involves sex.
plus movies tv etc.
>>
>>17403899
I don't look at porn, I can name like 3 people that I know who (presumably) have a sex life at all (due to being in a relationship), and I skip the sex scenes in otherwisely interesting books that I read.
I'd like a romantic relationship, myself, if one did not involve sex.

Hey /adv/. What is a good programming language to start learning the ropes of programming? I plan on taking some courses in spring, when I gather up some money, but I want to know some of the basics until then. I learned very basic Pascal and HTML during highschool ( and by basic I mean, doing a web page or doing a small program that does x+y). Are C/C++/Python/Ruby good choices ? If so, which one should I try first? What are your opinions ?

Python is easy i like c++ but it can be difficult but will teach you most of the concepts that go over all other programming languages.
>>
>>17403813
I assume learning C++ will make learning C easier, and vice-versa. If so, so I start by learning C, or go straight for C++?
Also, I read a little about Python, and it seems like the way to go for beginners.
Thanks for the advice!
>>
>>17403829
Python and C are probably the two best to start with, but you should be aware that they approach from opposite ends of the spectrum: Python is extremely high-level, while C is extremely low-level. They require different approaches to basically everything, and that's not bad by any stretch of the imagination, but it can be tough to keep a brain wrapped around both at once.
If you prefer to play on maniac mode, add Scheme to the list. Yet a third way of doing everything.

I was offered a job as a "QA Associate"(pretty much a janitor) at a grocery store for $10.50 a hour. but I have an interview scheduled for tomorrow at another grocery store. The thing is I don't know what they will be paying and the position that I will be interviewing for. Also I think the place I will be interviewing at will be a unioned store while the janitor one isn't. Do you guys think I should go with the unioned one if it's something to do with customer service? I feel like I will not learn any valuable skills doing the QA one but the pay is nice. I was told that they might move me over to produce once school starts as they will have employees leave for school.
What would you guys do in this situation?
Plus I'm afraid I'd have to clean some shit like pic related.

From someone who worked as a janitor do the union job there will be better treatment. A janitor is the bottom of the company and everyone takes their problems out on you.

wtf is happeing in that pic? Why is the toilet seat spinning?
>>
>>17403739
Thanks for replying. I was thinking the same thing when it comes to being the bottom of the company.
The weird thing about the janitor job is that they called me in for an interview the same day and even offered the job on the spot. That seems like such a red flag but I need a job badly.

I have noticed that almost everytime I am smoking weed with my friends I start to do say and do really stupid things. It seems like I am that kind of guy that cannot control himself when he is getting either high, or drinking, or using any other drugs. One of my friends even said that I am a different person after smoking: my voice changes, I am saying stupid jokes or trying to do silly pranks. Also, most of the times when I say something or speak with someone, it makes me realise afterwards what stupidity I managed to say, without even thinking.
At first, I thought that’s how weed works. However, considering that I am starting to annoy my friends with my idiotic remarks and jokes, I think that there is something wrong with me. All my friends seem to act almost normal when high, me being the only one that is finding excuses for my abnormal behaviour, like “I was too stoned” or “I smoked too much”.
Is there anyone in my situation as well? Or do you have any advice? I am seriously contemplating on smoking weed at all..

Try to redirect your energy into something else, like drawing or writing or playing a game

>>17403726
That's what I say to myself before smoking.. However, as soon as I take the first puffs, I completely forgot and let my mind slip away.. Also, I noticed that even if I realise that I should just shut the fuck up and act normal, I feel better when I start speaking, even if the first things that come into my mind are really stupid..

Hey guys. Im in a pickle here and could use some insight.
I just got out of a relationship that I can easily go back into with financial security, however, I enjoy my freedom and independence. The only problem here is I have a neurological condition which makes it hard to survive on my own or hold a job.
On one hand I can go back into a relationship (which I really would rather be single), where I can have security while i take care of my problems and get on my feet. Or I can risk being on the streets by chancing my situation on my own.. I know this all sounds really shitty but please try to step into my shoes. Thanks.

you've provided no where near enough info. sounds like you should've started saving before breaking up?
>>
>>17403753
nevermind what i should have done.. My options are to stay alone, which i prefer, but risk not being able to make it because of my medical situation.
Or, go back into a relationship i dont really want to be in for medical and financial security.
One route is tending to my comfort and happiness. the other is tending to my survival.
>>
I would 100% go with finding a job, whether you get back together with your ex or have another relationship.
1) Uh, what makes you think your ex will take you back?
2) What if you get back into your relationship for medical and financial security and they get hit by a bus and die the next day? Or worse, become a quadriplegic and can no longer work to support you?
Either way the only true option is to work on supporting yourself. Having someone support you is just putting off the inevitable.

Start small. Do whatever for a week straight. Build. Simple as that.
Sometimes you need to force yourself a little, but once it becomes habit, it's in your autopilot script and you don't have to apply nearly the amount of effort as you did before.

I did start an exercise habit and then gave up 2 weeks later. I'm afraid I can't maintain anything.

Be accountable for your time.
Write down everything you do in a day (excluding the small things).
If it isn't working, find some ruthless asshole to read your daily schedule and rip into you if you wasted the entire day.

Ok /adv/ I now find myself in a very odd position. Let me rewind to a month ago. The girl I was seeing at the time and i had a rocky relationship full of ups and downs. Needless to say it was difficult and quite stressful but I do really care about her. So we decide to stop talking due to the volatility of the relationship and she couldn't come to terms with the fact she had feelings for me. She self-destruced and pushed me away.
A week later I go on holiday and i meet a girl in Amsterdam. We hit it off and we exchanged numbers. I talked to her for a few weeks and everything is going good. Coincidentally we are both planning to move to the same city and she asked If would be interested in rooming with her. That very night girl number one hits me up and begs for forgiveness. Says she made a huge mistake and wants to try and make it work.
I don't know what to do. Now I feel like I have to make a decision?? Do I try and make it work with girl one and still live with girl two? Has anyone had experience living with the opposite sex?? And would my unclear situation cause issues with both of them. I'm not planning to sleep with girl two if we room but she's hot and if something happened i don't know if I would stop myself. Please help /adv/

Also a job beats the hell out of NEET. Whatever you do don't become NEET. It will make everything worse you'lll lose it cuz.

I'm gay and involved in a fetish scene. I identify with the fetish stuff as much as being gay honestly, and value being a part of that community, and feel like I have to be a part of it to pursue what I want and be honest with my identity. But still, in many ways I'm incompatible with and feel alienated by the scene.
Like for example, there's this one guy my friends know I've been warned about: He fooled around a ton, and then got AIDS, and then got cautious for a little, but ultimately decided to just fool around more without much consideration for the fact that he might infect unknowing people.
Stuff like that makes me so depressed and grossed out, honestly, even casual sex makes me a bit depressed because I can't relate to it and I value intimacy above all else in sex.
It wouldn't be a big deal if I just knew of people like that, but I worry my friends are on that road. They have random sex, crazy orgies and shit without protection. I feel close to a lot of these people, but I feel so alienated because it's gross and degrading to me and no one understands my apprehension.
How do you exist in a kinky and loose scene when you aren't kinky or loose, or is it futile from the start?

Well, remote jobs are jobs you do while sitting at home. Some employers have remote job openings.
