You can do it.

With the amount of bad rep that CS gets on /g/ I'm starting to think many people have just lost hope for what happens after their degree.
The smart thing to do would be to build up an impressive portfolio and build relationships with people who are already in the industry.
I'm going to study CS next year just because I want to. I don't have any prospects of landing a job, I don't think I could work in the industry anyway.
The course im doing now will take a year off the already 3 year degree so that buys me a lot of time.
Am I making foolish mistakes?

Just trust your gut OP. Based on statisics, how well will/can each path you take go?

CS is a waste of time. There is absolutely nothing that you can learn in a CS curriculum that you couldn't teach yourself far more cheaply and efficiently. In fact getting a university degree is worse because their curricula lags behind the industry significantly. (A database course still teaching SQL 2000.)
If you want to do something for fun, study astronomy.
Another reason it's slammed is because the industry really is completely different. Clients have woken up to the endless software development failures and insane costs and are putting their data in the hands of respected cloud providers and their associated applications. They don't have to deal with development at all, data security is turned over to the provider, and all updates are performed by them as well. No Change/Configuration/Release Management (which was a scam anyway).
IT is now just slightly worse than being a plumber, because plumbers deal with real shit and in IT it's just imagined.

How do I stop feeling guilty about not working non stop? Apart from things all humans do plus going to the gym, I feel guilty about any of my habits. And I have no goals.
I want to read books but I feel guilty about reading a set number of pages a day. I am worried about being called a pleb for not reading ten trillion boring Western canon novels. I feel like an ADD pleb for rarely reading more than 60 pages at a time. I hate that I'm more likely to put a book down at the end of a chapter.
Similarly for working. I know I could always be working to become better off. I know that people who talk about taking breaks are just lying to themselves. I feel bad for not having the willpower necessary to wotk non stop on one thing for 10 hours.
And the funny thing is that I'm a Stirnerite. When you stay unspooked then everyone else's belief system feels like a personal attack. Fuck these people who say that X is so important. X is always working hard / enjoying yourself / focusing on one thing / focusing on many things / reading history / classics / philosophy / other shit.
The awful thing is that I know everyone else is a fraud. That NFL player who everyone loves and says is hardworking has never read a book. That mathematics professor known as a genius is a disgusting dyel. That literary figures who goes on about Shakespeare being a god doesn't know any maths or science greater than an 18 year old yet claims to be worldly. That billionaire who goes on about humanity's big issues does nothing but write checks for people who make social media apps.

Holy fucking shit kiddo. Just do something for fucks sake. Quite making problems for yourself by talking so much. If you want to read 5 pages, then read those 5 pages and put the book down. If you want to work for 4-5 his a day, find a job that lets you. If you want to work for 10 hours, take some adderall and pump out the day. These aren't problems you need advice on, you're just a moron who knows what he needs to do, but wants attention because mommy didn't love you enough. Well, here it is fuckface.

Call the police non emergency line and ask them what can be done.

I think the first, and probably best thing you can do, is call Child Protective Services. Because animal cruelty can fall under the emotional abuse or neglect of a child.
They will send a social worker out to interview the child and family and probably recommend her for therapy.
Also, when you call CPS, you can even say, "I'm not sure if this is reportable or what to do, but I want to see if I can make this claim." And if it is not reportable, they can refer you to what you can do.
>>
>>17398970
Also, if it continues and it is reportable to CPS, continue calling and making a report each time it happens. This will build a case of evidence.
Also, you can choose to remain anonymous. You just need to give their address, names if you know them, and the age of the girl, who she lives with, if you know. But they can't do anything without an address.
>>
Call animal control or the non-emergency police line. Do NOT attempt to "rescue" the animal yourself.

Soooo, I may have accidentally made myself too available at work for the wrong reasons.
I work in apparel and cover shifts in different departments.
I've been in shoes lately and the manager says they need another person in shoes since no one really is too enthused about it, but apparently I did well right off the bat.
The thing is, I kinda was infatuated with the manager so I was working harder than normal without really realizing it.
They're offering me a job in footwear, but I haven't been there long and I'm afraid the manager just offered me the job because he realized I had a (innocent) crush (that I know better than to act on) on him
I really do like working in shoes, but I see this as potentially problematic.
I don't want to piss my current manager off, but I wouldn't still be working for the same compant, just different department.
Should I go for it or stay in my lane until I've been there longer?
I've already made myself pretty available to the shoes manager, so I'm wielding a double ended sword here.

Excuse the derpy grammar.

Stay where you are. I wouldn't trust the other manager not to exploit your crush on him and when he gets rejected, he fires you for some bullshit reason.
Also, managers need to work these out between themselves. He should have asked your current manager if he could discuss it with you before approaching you.

Stay where you are. "I want to do the job I was hired to do first" is a good reason to turn it down.

Back in high school, I had a girlfriend and a lot of good friends. However, we broke up Sophomore year, and the next two years I was alone and too socially inept to get another girlfriend. Fast forward to now, I'm going into my second year of college and I don't have any friends at all. I think I want a girlfriend, but every time I think about getting one I'm reminded that the relationship is going to fail eventually and it's just a waste of my time.
Basically, my conundrum is that I'm all alone and I've basically given up on trying to make friends/go on dates, but I still regret sleeping alone every night and playing osu when everyone else is out with friends. How do I make friends and get over myself?

Did I do the right thing?

You should not have hit her. But you don't seem to know any better and are about as trash as your animal abusing sister.
>>
>>17398877
Why am I trash, Anon? She was just standing there kicking my dog, why doesn't that warrant a little slap?
>>
>>17398877
Also I should point out that this is the first time I ever hit her in any way, shape or form, and it was just a little slap.

Anyone here who's been on anti-depressants and can describe how it feels?
I have ups and downs, and while the downs are terrible I don't want to lose the ups. Is it true anti-depressants sort of cancel everything out and leave you in a limbo of emotional void?

Honestly, if you've got a good match and a proper dose, it doesn't feel like much at all. Your baseline mood is a bit brighter, but that's about it. You have to think pretty carefully about your mood to even notice that something has changed.
>I have ups and downs, and while the downs are terrible I don't want to lose the ups. Is it true anti-depressants sort of cancel everything out and leave you in a limbo of emotional void?
They can, if you've got a bad match or your dose is too high. They are very much NOT supposed to do that, though. If this happens to you, talk to your doc about cutting your dose or trying another medication.

Thanks for a good reply.
But if you have to think carefully to even notice a change, is it really worth it then? Seeing how side effects are common.

They did me a world of good.
I was afraid they would either make me a zombie or a grinning idiot, but they didn't do either of those things- they just made me feel like myself again.

Sounds like angsty middle school bullshit to me. Your gf is either 13 or a fucking moron who can't get over herself. Which is basically the same.
I just bought a cheap butt plug in a slip. It seems to burn a little while wearing. It's some soft plastic. Just read some buyer guide and it says I should avoid soft plastic (not silicone) stuff at all cost because it contains shitty materials.
Should I send it back to get my money back, or would you say the concerns are exaggerated?
This is it by the way:

(Anglos excluded), What does it feel like when you come across foreigners who can speak your mother tongue when traveling? Are you impressed, do you feel welcomed, or do you take it for granted? What is your native language btw?

My native language is polish, and most freigners who actualy happen to speak it make lots of mistakes. I don't mind it but i'm correcting them everytime. Sometimes they get upset, and sometimes they are glad that i help them to polish(the worst pun) the language.

>>17398833
My native language is Italian.
I am usually pretty impressed and I always compliment them, if they don't speak italian like Peter Griffin or don't say shit like "ciao bella".

My native language is portuguese. Brazilian here.

How do I get my shit together, stop browsing Internet, procrastinating etc., and actually start preparing for a very important exam coming in a month?

Just get started.
Study up to 30 mins a day. Do that a few days a week. After a 30 mins, your concentration generally starts to slip as you get more fatigued, bored, or whatever. You should slowly get more comfortable with it, and be able to do longer sessions.
Wait, you don't have a fuck ton of time?
Put away your distractions, man the fuck up and study for up to 30 min sessions.
Take a break, fuck about, and try to get back to it.
As long as you actually get to it, set an amount of time and work up the discipline to stick to the amount of time, you can at least make some progress.
