hello guys and gals!
my neighbors are smokers which wouldn't be my interest if it was not for the single fact that every time i try to ventilate my apartment their fucking stink comes right in instead of fresh air.
i want to reward them with the most horrid most disgusting stench ever time they light a cigarette until they realize what they are doing.
any ideas what would make them puke?
>>17391965
maybe knock on their door and tell them exactly what you just told us
How do I tell if one of my friends hates me?
He rarely talks to me, and when he does, he always makes it about himself, or he yells at me. Never use to be this way until June. Its been like this since.
>>17391958
It's more likely that something stressfull is happening in his life.
Cherchez la femme.
Ask him why he is acting strange/weird lately.
Explain what you mean by "makes it about himself". What kind of topics come up or how does the conversation go?
So with the new Pokémon Go craze a big group has appeared in my city, and they're going to organize a meetup for the next week
The thing is, my phone is very shitty and I can't play the game. Would it be too weird to just go there to socialize even if I can't play?
Yes. Not only that but people the game attracts are lame. They don't actually like pokemon, they don't actually like videogames, they just like shallow popular shit or something. What are you going to talk about with them anyways? xD u caught a squiter???
You'd be better off going to a meetup for something you're actually interested, or at least where people have a passion for it (like a sport or hobby club).
>>17391968
>They don't actually like pokemon, they don't actually like videogames, they just like shallow popular shit or something.
Urgh, you are the worst kind of person. Worse than Hitler.
Literally no one wasn't into Pokemon. Pokemon is and always has been the very definition of shallow popular shit.
>>17391968
>don't actually like pokemon
>they don't actually like one of the most popular franchises in history.
My best friend of 8 years has suddenly just fallen off the face of the earth. I've tried everything I can to contact her: emails, checked her DA, checked her Tumblr, talked with her other friends... and nothing. Everything has just been silent. I've gotten no replies from her email, DA, and Tumblr, and the friend that I was able to 'contact' is apparently ignoring me or has forgotten who I am. To be honest, I'm just worried about her. She and I have depression (like actual depression, none of the Tumblr bullshit), I've had it longer than she has, and I'm worried that through our friendship... I might have given it to her. Like, I'm worried I made a toxic friendship and caused her this... And I read somewhere that the best thing to do if someone has depression and you do too is to, well, cease communication... The last thing I want to do is to hurt her... and I don't know what else to do... and I know some of my other friends have some mental disorders like depression and anxiety and the like... so I said I was taking a hiatus of unknown length. I didn't mention anyone's names in it... just that it was probably better if I didn't stick around for a while so that people's problems weren't exacerbated by my presence... To be honest, I love her. I love her more than I've loved anyone before, which isn't saying much because she's kind of my first, but whatever... I love her, and I don't want her to be hurt... I guess I'm just asking if I'm doing the right thing by distancing myself...? Is it better if I walk away from my best friend and effective love so that they might be better off...?
Anon, I lost my best friend of 12 years 2 years ago and I have been having the most worthless days of my life since then. Fucking find her and fix your relationship
>>17391936
>DeviantArt
>Tumblr
Its probably best that she disappeared.
>>17392027
Believe me, I really want to. But the only thing I know about where she is, is the city and state. And even then, that's a shot in the dark, because she could have maybe moved on by then (if she was even in that area to begin with). Plus, wouldn't it be a little bit disturbing for me to just suddenly show up to her city looking for her? I don't want to come off as a stalker and ruin it even further, you know? "Hey, I just drove four days across the country because I was worried about you and hadn't heard from you in seven months and etc etc" doesn't exactly sound very sane. I feel like that only works in the movies, and that if I tried that she'd end up getting a restraining order against me or something...
>>17392030
Man, we joined DA when we were, like, 14 or something, and we just didn't quit. Eventually we moved on to Tumblr around 4 years ago because it was getting popular, and I didn't want to join, but it was the most reliable way to keep in touch with her. Yeah, Tumblr is a toxic community, and I would say that it probably had a hand in this debacle, but I don't think it would be fair to abandon her because of the social media site she used...
Sup brehs, I recently open a new account at a bank. The girl who was the banker that opened it was pretty cute, and we chatted a little while we were doing business. She just sent a form letter followup about the process, etc. I was thinking about replying -
"Thanks for the followup email. I thought you were cute."
Good idea? Bad idea?
Pretty bad yeah
Yeah, nah.
Yes, that is a bad idea.
Is it possible to move to a decent sized city if you don't have any skills and just do something like wait tables? Not something like nyc but smaller like Chicago Houston or Atlanta?
>>17391922
Been wondering about this too. I've bussed tables for 3 years at several restaurants, I'll be of age to serve in August.
>>17391922
Brandon please go and
Sure but the job search can take a while so you'll need money.
I swear, whenever people have issues, they come to me for help or comfort, but they never hear out "my" problems. They just hear me say some funny joke about their problems, they laugh, and then they leave. Whenever I need moral support though, they don't seem to care at all. Like, "Oh, okay." That's it? After all I've done to help you?? It's kind of depressing how I only have /adv/ to help me. So, am I just stuck like this until I find someone who's willing to put up with my rambling, which isn't even hat much?
Wouldn't know. I'm in the same boat for years. Besides, if those friends are like that you don't want to open up to them anyway...
>>17391918
Yeah people tell me I'm complicated when I go into details. I'm usually pretty silent and only say shit when it seems needed, and whenever I do try to explain some inner problem or issues I have, I go on tangents and my normies friends tune out and lose interest.
I think it might just be some people aren't as complex as others. I mean I wouldn't want to hear someone bitch about their like, dumb women, dating drama or whatever, but if they wanted to complain about something I can relate to, well, I could relate to it.
whelp, I just obliterated what was left of my self esteem
after spending the last day swiping right on pretty much every girl on this thing, at least 1000, I have only had one match and she didn't even send me a message before it expired
I didn't realize I was so unattractive. Not sure where to go from here
>>17391882
Dating apps aren't a very good judge of appearance. First and foremost its pretty catered towards women, with only the absolutely ripped and traditionally attractive men being picked out. Even then they wouldn't be the kind a normal girl would want to hang out with and in many ways so are the women there too.
I doubt you're unattractive, just normal. Dating apps aren't a good measure nor a good way to help your self esteem. Keep your head up and go out into the real world to find your woman. You'll find someone who appreciates and loves you there, certainly quicker than some dating app.
>>17391882
Bumble is a huge waste and the women you've swiped right on haven't even been on the app in days/weeks and probably won't be again for a long time, if ever. Their female user engagement sucks.
Source: Work in the industry marketing with these shitty apps.
>>17391915
What app has the most female user engagement?
So I've been cutting myself for a while now, but I'm starting to run out of space on my forearms. I'm going to need more space, but I just want the pain, I don't want to kill myself or cause any permanent muscle damage if I can help it.
Does anyone know where the "safest" places would be to continue this habit? I've tried asking in more appropriate places, but most self-harm forums assume you want to get "better", and refuse to advise.
>>17391879
Your throat :)
>>17391900
Dubs confirm truth, will try it out, thanks cockbite.
Etxernal parte of the thigh. Not too deep or you risk to ruin the muscle, it must be a dermal cut.
Scars will remain.
Aside from this, if you really just want to feel pain, don't cut as it carries many risks (infections, blood loss, etc)
Go for other methods, like hands in freezing water (don't wait for them to turn blue, that's permanent nerve damage).
Alternatively go for boiling water. Very nasty scars will remain. Much uglier than cut scars. May prevent sex.
Other methods with permanent damage are bone crushing and ball hitting.
Skin pinching should be fine.
Lastly, there is no logical reason to do it.
Given the amount of knowledge I just gave you I should know.
Good luck.
So apart from being in a band, my whole life I've wanted to wrok in a record store.
Right now I am depressed for a variety of reasons, failing my animation course recently single. I'm at a low point.
I feel like if I could get this job it might help me start to get my life back on track.
Trouble is, it's the kind of job everyone wants.
At this stage I was honestly contemplating calling tomorrow just after they open and telling thw owner about my prior experience and that I am willing to work for peanuts.
Other than that I don't know. Please help.
Bump again
Any record store owner is going to want someone who knows their shit--and someone who thinks they know but really doesn't is far worse than someone who admits they don't know.
It's not that exciting unless you collect records yourself and are allowed first dibs. Otherwise it's a fairly normal retail job aside from the fact that you can play cool music instead shit when you're working.
It's still a niche hobby and a lot of people think they want to do it but don't realize it's not just leaning on the counter and listening to old 45s all day. It's a lot of condition grading, pricing, tagging, cataloguing and cleaning.
>>17392083
I'm fairly anti-social so the idea of doing those menial jobs more than customer interraction works for me.
I think my songwriting would also benefit from just being exposed to all the new artists I will inevitably learn of.
What would you recommend I do to make me stand out and hopefully get this job?
I've been with my girlfriend for a year now. It's long-distance but we're happy & love each other, and see each other when we can.
We're currently together in Edinburgh and will soon be joined by her mother who wants to come visit the city for a couple of days; I suspect i'm the real reason for her visit though.
My reason for posting is that this is actually my first relationship and have never been in this situation before. I don't know if there is any unofficial 'meet-the-parents' etiquette that i should be aware of; I don't want to make a fool of myself. What's more, My parents are working-class, whereas hers are closer to middle.
What should I be prepared to talk about? Do I offer to pay for meals despite being a student? How do I even greet her; Handshake? Light hug? A simply Howdy-do?
help me faggots
>>17391956
Ask nicely
Give her a handshake with eye contact, a smile, and saying that it's nice to finally meet her. If you get along quite well and she's a warm and affectionate person, you can say goodbye with a light hug.
Don't offer to pay for meals, but take care of a treat, like buying ice cream for the three of you. She's not reasonably going to suspect a student to pay for all your food, especially if she likes the better restaurants. You're a kid in her eyes.
Be prepared to talk about your hobbies and interests, how your education is going and why you chose this one, where you grew up and some more lighthearted stuff about what your parents/childhood were like, whether you have siblings. Also your goals for the future, both short term and long term. Have some anecdotes at hand for if there's a lull in the conversation and you feel like you have to say something. Prepare for the (very slight) chance that if your girlfriend is away, she'll ask you how you see the LDR progressing.
Just treat her like a person. Be polite, friendly, show interest and ask her questions. (Bonus points if you can show that you're attentive by, for example, asking about a hobby your girlfriend told you she enjoys.) Don't be afraid to show that you're into her daughter but don't make her feel uncomfortable with too much PDA. Show your affection by holding hands occasionally, teasing her lovingly, sitting close to her when the opportunity arises, throwing her glowing looks. Not kissing her all the time or constantly having your arms draped around her.
Ask questions about how she (your girlfriend) grew up, what she was like as a kid, whether her mom has pictures etc. It both shows your sincere interest in her as a person, and acknowledges the mother's role as your girlfriend's mother who obviously knows her better than probably anyone else. She'll eat that shit up.
What Math course is more helpful to a Software Engineer?
Calculus 3
or
Modern Differential Equations?
pic unrelated
None. Who gives a fuck. You'll be building webapps 4 life.
Go with any
Nobody cares.
Don't build web apps forever though, that's for plebs.
>>17391821
this. Math is probably largely irrelevant in the long run. Take whichever is easier so it doesn't hurt your GPA.
Guys i have trouble with my speech
Once in a while i would try to say something but comes out kinda different
Like just this morning i was going to tell my mom "i'm going to wash my pants"
But i said, "i'm going to wash my stants"
This pisses me off so much can anyone help?
> Dyslexia
Look it up. A friend of mine has it. A couple of speech therapy exercises and you should be good to go.
You're probably possessed or a sleeper agent.
>>17391814
Dyslexia is a reading disability. Unless i was reading off a paper it wouldn't affect my speech. And i certainly don't have trouble reading either.
There is a website; wattz.org.uk which is a minecraft pocket edition server website, and the owner has left his website and the servers he created. Which means now that there is a lot of bullying going on. My main concern is that there is inappropriate sexual roleplay, sexual chat and pictures going up there on the website and on the mcpe servers themselves that no one can do anything about. This website has been created and used by children! They have been exposed to indecent images and wording. I have had a look online and filled out a form with a company that deals with online child sexual abuse etc, on the form it said they would contact me but they didnt at all. What else can i do?
>>17391699
>wattz.org.uk
Seems to be powered by Wordpress, maybe contact them as an emergency situation?
>>17391699
you are only going to be able to protect those computers under your direct control from this website.
All you can do is report illegal activity. If parents aren't watching their damn kids, it's their fault if they get fucked up.
I mean idk what the laws are in the UK but in america if you're posting CP online you're gonna get v& hard. Even if the kids are posting pictures of themselves.
My dad works as a lawyer for a phone/internet company. Tells me all the time how he has to dig up records for the police because some underage kid decided to snap some nudes and send them around. They don't realize that here even if you're taking pictures of yourself, you are still creating child pornography and by sending them you are distributing child pornography.
Kids need to fucking learn man. Idk contact the government if you gotta, or someone higher up than just a company that does this kind of stuff?
>28 yo
>made out with 7 girls in my life
>only had sex with one of them once
>it was a mess
>only 2 of these girls live in my country
>only 1 live in my town
dont know why but i dont pick up local girls, that way is impossible to start a relation of any kind, is there any hope for me? i met these girls in bars and my age of going out and get wasted is ending...
m8t you're posting on a forum with the most amount of virgins on the internet
toughen up
>>17391690
Yup, meeting girls a bar, asking numbers to girls anywhere, meet with girls your friends know, or use dating sites.
Sounds like you don't have it that bad, just keep trying.
