Get him a dragon dildo.

If money is no object i would say a piece of jewelry or display piece of meteorite. Celestial bodies chances of collision and all that romantic stuff.

earlier this year i developed brain damage, and through the ups and downs of it all i decided that I didnt want to give up, though my giving up option was admittedly a lot more comfy than yours (moving in with parents).

What made you stand firm on not giving up?

>>17379140

im not really sure. it was kind of intrinsic. i saw my options in front of me and i came to the realization that i dont want an easy out. life has been enjoyable despite its struggles, and i liked the life i had built myself so wanted to maintain it, even if it meant a lot of changes and hard work to continue seeing the people i like and doing the things i do.

if they're going on a trip and its a group thing its no big deal. but if ur ALWAYS asking for a ride to this and that and the third thing, yes.

i live in the city so i can survive without a car. outside of the city you need some sort of vehicle.

as for big grocceries i tend to get an uber if i do major groccery shopping, its like 7 bucks to get home with all my grocceries.

but i had one friend who doesnt like to do anything alone, so once every two weeks when he goes groccery shopping he brings me with him

>>17379224

No no, for my own business I get by, but for going camping or hiking with a group or friend I request a ride with them. Only in instances where they are already going.

...I'm too cheap to use uber that frequently.

did the mormons leave you a card or anything? If so call them up and say you've thought more about it and coming would be a waste of their time, if you've no way to contact them then when they show up just tell them this at the door and apologize for having wasted their time. If they gave you a book of mormon I'd give it back to them.

Anyway, as to your main question I'm not really sure what you're asking. Why do you need to do anything, why does this dream change anything? The overwhelming consensus of the psychiatric community is that dreams don't have any deeper meaning as an expression of your subconscious desires, they're simply mixed up movies that play in your mind as your brain decompresses and resets for the next day. The person you engaged in sexual activity with in that dream just happened to be your friend, it could just as easily have been anyone else, there's no deeper meaning here. If its making things awkward for you just try to put it out of your mind, it wasn't a conscious thing and it doesn't say anything about you or your relationship with her. I hope you atleast enjoyed it though.

>>17379008
Thank you, my dude! No means of contact for the Mormons so I guess I'll have to wait to let em know.

See that's the thing. This ain't the first time I've had a dream like this, though, but I guess I should just put it out of my mind as you said since all of the friends/associates I've advanced onto under influences of the dreams no longer speak to me .

>>17379101
well yeah, its also important to remember that you didn't actually have sex with your friend, you had a dream where you had sex with a dream construct that happened to have the face of your friend. It wasn't really your friend. Just try to put it out of your mind, these kinds of things happen to everyone.

I took an iridescent, loose, algae-blue-green shit this morning. It scared me because why of all things is it shamrock green? Then I realized last night I drank an entire crate of grape soda because I was stressed with yesterday.

It felt so good but kinda painful when it came out. Of course, it all floated to the top and wasn't really the consistency of shit. It felt like warm water mixed with some torn paper coming out.

Fuck out here fag.

Recording yourself singing is pretty crucial man. I've been doing it for about 9 years since I was about 13 and have gotten pretty damn good. You're most likely gonna sound like shit at first but just keep at it. Learn about diaphragm support and breath control. Playing guitar helped me a lot too because it gave me something to stay in key with until eventually I could sing in key acapella from muscle memory.

>>17378992
I recorded a shitty cover, the second the lyrics start my strumming goes to shit. On the bright side, it's not as awful as I've heard people before, but it's still pretty bad.

You ever think that you're not responsible for the way you're born, but your shitty genes are?
You ever humored the idea of rebirth? And thoughtnthat life being unfair isn't right?

What if I told you that you will revive as the most charming, interesting, talented, imaginative, easygoing person on this planet? If you simply died in a peaceful way?

>>17378934
You just do it.

Building comfort with new things takes times and practice.

Anxiety Tips: avoid caffeine, sugary stuff, and drink lots of water.

At some point, dude. You have to say fuck it.

If it all goes to hell, fuck it. What can you do? After all right now you're panicking at the mere thought of trying to keep it from going bad.

Really dude, fuck it. They say you got a bit of food on your chin? Fuck it, it happens. You make a joke that creeps the girl out? Fuck it, you found it funny. You shit your pants all over their favourite couch? Fuck it, that shit'll be funny, it's literally comedy tier misfortune.

Bad things happen, "Normal" people just say fuck it when bad things happen to them.

And most importantly in this rambling talk? They'll be saying fuck it too.

Only if you're cute

If that's really what you want to do with your life. Are you asking for some pros and cons?

>>17378940
yeah basically

Just be more conscious of the way you act? Maybe role play conversations in your head and stick to a script? Or inform a good buddy that you feel this way about how you talk, and ask them to call you out when you start being snide so that the negative feedback with unconsciously influence you in the future.

Or you could get friends with thicker skin / study satire and get better at it / not give a shit what other people think. That last part may be the easiest way out.

If you really feel that broken up about it, maybe therapy? Talking about your feelings with a specialist can help you understand why you need to say certain things a certain way.

I think the same way and it's because I'm awkward as fuck and feel the need to make it less awkward by talking more. Try shutting up more often and only reserve your conversation skills for people that understand you.

Another chapter of "she has a bf, what to do?".
Oh mercifull Satan, give me strenght...

>Entire industry is dying
By this I mean the industry that my business is a part of is dying. I can say what it is or it'll give me away.

Also, people just don't take me seriously when it comes to math/coding. My gf's father who is an engineer was completely surprised that I could do vector math. He figured I only had a fine arts degree so all I could do was paint pretty pictures.

>>17378801
>I know my shit when it comes to coding, but I don't have the engineering title to go with it
What do you mean by this? Because if you did, honestly, you wouldn't need a degree to work at most companies.

it does sound like you are having withdrawls. make sure to take some ib prophane for your head ache drink plenty of water. and stay off the xanax you will feel better in 4 or 5 days

Absolutely none. Most people I knew who took morning classes were either just morning people who liked having the afternoon free and never stayed up late or had night work and couldn't fit it in any other way. I took maybe like 4 morning classes total in my entire college career. Works way better, lets you stay up to play vidya or gives you hangover recovery time.

Getting up at 7am for work sucks, no reason to start out sooner than necesarry

>>17378744
Wouldn't recommend it. For me at least, it made me very unproductive. I got used to sleeping in till I had to wake up to go to classes, didn't get much free time for the shit I wanted to do, would even feel drowsy for the rest of the day.

Waking up early sucks if you don't get enough sleep, but at least you have no choice but to be awake in the afternoon where you'll have plenty of time to do what you want. In addition, being forcibly active in the morning makes me more likely to keep the activeness throughout the rest of the day, thus making me more productive. Makes sense, yes?

>>17378744
I was a night owl most of my adult life.
Trust me--the world is made for early-risers.
A lot of night owls lead dysfunctional lives.

Do a deal with them. If after five years you haven't advanced sufficiently at work, you'll get the MBA. If you are doing well, it will be evidence you don't need it.

>>17378666
Most MBAs are 2-year programs, not 4-year.

That said, your parents come from a different generation. Our generation has literally been screwed over for the last 50 years, first by the generation that was handed everything and coddled and selfish, then by the generation that worked hard and built up a name for themselves and expects that if people do exactly what they did they'll be successful.

We're having our money and resources drained by the one, and false expectations thrust on us by the other, who grew up in an age before the internet and before two massive stock market crashes (leading to the first decade in recorded history that the stock market didn't gain value)

The truth is: universities are a surrogate for experience. Instead of working in the field for 5-10 years, you can get a 4 year degree (for $60,000) and land the same job. If you're happy in your position and building up experience, then in 5 years no one will care what your degree was or what college you went to. They'll want to see your work experience and portfolio.

Unfortunately, your parents won't accept that until they see it with their own eyes. In their world they went to college and as a result landed a corporate job where they were flown first-class around America and drank with businessmen every Friday. So they think if you do the exact same your life will be awesome.

It will be hard not to start a fight about it. My wife is in the same position: her mother told her that if she didn't do X, Y, and Z she'd be a miserable failure. And her mother stopped talking to her for two years. Now they're on great terms because her mother has seen her success, saw her get a house, saw her get a great job,... it just took proof.

Just remain positive, remain resolute, and be prepared for a year or two of a bad relationship with your parents before they understand and accept that you've found another way to be successful.

>>17378677
Ty anons, and yeah its probably best to just let my experience and savings do the talking.

You're definitely spot on with the generation gap.
Back in high school, whenever I showed an interest in a potential career path that didn't involve math, science or business, they just told me there's no future in it because they read it in some online article that one time or heard it in some irrelevant radio show.

My mom actually wants me to start a business and be my own boss, but I could just do that by starting an online store.

But that's not "le real job" so I might as well be a hobo in their eyes kek.
