To get a grasp of some of the local dialects, try Eastenders, Coronation Street, and Emmerdale.

You might want to get a feel for what we call "the Queen's English", which is English with all the words fully and correctly pronounced, no regional slang, and (what those of us who speak it think of) no regional accent. It's the way you'd speak English if you learned it all from a textbook rather than talking to people. For this, you could try programs (which is our word for the things you guys call "shows") like Inspector Morse, or if you have a sufficiently high boredom threshold, Antiques Roadshow.

Sorry for the off topic, guys, but could somebody identify Ciri's accent (the girl)?

If you're planning on visiting us, watch some more local shows too, the uk has a stupid number of regional accents and slang. We can tell the difference between Blackburn, Preston and Burnley in terms of accents. And all three towns are within an hour's drive.

Trying to imagine a worse case scenario, which isn't actually so bad in the short-term.

The worst that might happen would be rejection of employment.

Will check thread in maybe 2 hours-ish, thanks in advance for any insight.

>>17347022
apparently yes.

Tried it a bit myself but i am average so i just kinda forgot about doing it.

I can't imagine it has a massive difference.

>>17347037
OP:i'm also average (6.5), but i can't stop thinking about how it would be different if i had a bigger junk

they say losing 1 pound of week is ideal, but this is simply a guideline. mathematically speaking you are asking to lose a pound every two days.

there is 3,500 calories in a pound of fat.
on average humans eat 2000 calories a day. so if you ate only two hundred and fifty calories a day, you would supposedly lose that weight. except your body would likely be in starvation mode.

the thing about weight loss though is there are lots of way to do things. people get idfferent results and our bodies really are different. not to the degree that tumblr would have you believe, but it is.

for some reason, eating low to no carbs have been shown to be more effective with weight loss specifically in the gut.

weight loss, when started, tends to drop a LOT at first, and then slow down cuz of the way our bodies work. so you could easily lose ten pounds in two weeks, then suddenly only lose one pound a week.

we lose water weight, poop weight, fat, how much food is just in our gut at the weigh in, etc.

to be honest, what you want is to look better. your weight is not a number on your forehead, so saying ' I NEED TO LOSE 16 POUNDS' means nothing. when i realized id put on weight a few weeks ago, i didnt even bother weighing myself. what did it matter? if i lose ten pounds on my ass id look even worse than i do now if my gut stayed. so stop worrying about the number and worry about what you are burning.

>>17346965
>>17346983


first and foremost, if you want to eat at a major decifit, (more than 500 calories) make sure you are taking vitamins. your body is less likely to enter starvation mode if its getting all the nutrients it needs.

dont be afraid to eat... vegetables. a carrot has 25 calories. keeps you satisfied til the next carrot.

cardio helps you burn even more calories. 105 calories per mile you burn. i could run a mile in seven minutes, so i could burn 850 an hour if i ran for an hour.

for best results, find a calculator that tracks how much you weigh, your height, how long it took you to run the mile, etc. and calculate that way. cross reference with say, a treadmill at your gym that claims to count the calories burnt.

but ultimately, if you can lose one pound a week for six weeks, you'll have reached half way to your goal, and whatever ur doing in six weeks you can say 'I LOST SIX POUNDS' and know that in six more weeks you'll have lost the other six. probably more than six with how much we lose when we start.

>>17346965
No there is not. But you can lose a lot. Eat three times a day in small amounts so that you almost starve every time you start eating and when you are done you shoudn't be full.

Don't fall for the exercise meme since people tend to eat more when they do it and if they don't they feel like shit and they just give up. Also you metabolism slows down and you don't burn that much calories anyway.

>>17346918
No.

Sounds like classic women."i am gonna do this." Months later it isn't done. but if you do it you will get shit for it.

Just relax and wait until everyone in the house is ready. It sounds like an idea that has faded except for with you.

this is exactly what it is. my mother has always been like this.

we kicked out my father almost 10 years ago , so it's not like he's around to help us. it's pretty much whenever my mother wants to do it.

which is never.

hell, she still hasn't filed for divorce and it's been 10 years he's out of the house.

>>17346928
my mother was screaming at me last night asking me "HOW CAN YOU LIVE LIKE THAT!!!!" - talking about how my furniture is randomly spread out in the living room.

I mean, it's her fault. She told me she wanted me to start moving my stuff out and that we would start working on the room in early spring. Summer is half over already and still nothing.

She threatened to kick me out because she's "had it" with how "messy" everything is.

but its literally furniture just arranged in a U shape around the living room. Still plenty of room to walk around. I don't even go in the living room at all. I'm in my bedroom all day pretty much.

>>17346899
so she used you.

welcome to manhood my friend may you learn from this.

>>17346899
After 7 years of being friends with someone it took a "leave me alone, I do not like you" to tear it down?

Are you hyper sensitive or some shit?
Did I miss something?

What I got is that she thinks you only do all that cause you want to fuck her?

>But I got friendzoned by this clause vain bitch. 7 years of time, money, and emotional investment on my part down the drain.

Top kek, you are an ultimate beta male OP.
Women are not a slot machine that you pour effort into and get sex in return.
I mean seven years? You should know if you are in there in seven days and that is being generious.

First off there is no such thing as being in the friendzone, girls do not want to fuck you because you're nice or dedicated, she probably does not want to fuck you because you are a needy desperate beta.
Girls like nice dudes who do stuff for them.

In reality the friendzone is the " I don't like you or find your attractive but you are useful for killing boredom"

You want some genuine advice? Cut the turd lose, block her shit, grow a pair of testicles, learn to read the signs and move the fuck on.

>So trips decides what I say, if I should even say anything at all I fucking hate this cunt man.
Take this shit to /b/.

Most women are assistants and nurses.

Just be anything above that tier of employment literally.

>>17346875
Pretty much anything but nursing, stuff with children and physio.

>>17346875

being a doctor.

>>17346849

if you want to be with her, do a big romantic gesture. if you dont want to be with her, then block her, say 'sorry but we are toxic to eeach other' and dont talk to her for a few years.

>>17346854
This.

You need to make the situation less fluid to more black and white.

A decision needs to be made for both of your well being; BUT keep in mind that you didn't work through problems to break up in the first place.

>>17346849
Your choices are as follows.

Get back together.
It may blow up in your face but at least you will have no regrets whether you stay together or not.

or

Ditch her completely
It will hurt like fuck but ending on your own terms mean you can have the closer

or

Keep in contact
She will eventually move on, you will be overflowing with regret that will haunt you for years. And you will have wasted a lot of your life on a dead end.

I lost it! As for you OP you're really fucked you better admit your mistake before your ex gets mad and uses your night with her as blackmail. Maybe your kid won't grow up to be such a failure like yourself.

Are people on 4Chan this stupid? I thought there was some common sense to be able to operate with 4Chan

>>17346631
Don't you have friends? Just network

>>17346636

Most of my friends are in a similar boat.

>>17346631
You probably have some negative factor you are not aware of. I recommend asking friend or coworkers for honest criticism.

If she tries to contact you then you just keep ignoring her. It feels really fucking bad to do that, but if you don't then she'll keep doing that shit to you. Sometimes you have to think about yourself.

I have BPD parents and have read many books; the most common being
>their children say they want their parents dead but feeling guilty
And
>a lack of being able to completely cut contact because of guilt

The key in all BPD cases are guilt. It's used like a knife. You did the right thing. Saying "you deserve better" and stuff is just crocodile tears to lure you in.

I once dated a BPD girl as well, for about 7 months. She cheated on me after pushing/scratching/punching me in the face, then contacted my ex girlfriends for a pity party after I blocked off all contact.

I think it's been about five or six years and she's never tried to make any contact again. She will though.

Borderline people deal with a constant fear of being left or forgotten, which turns them insecure, crazy and uncontrollable people.

They are not people who know love, only a need to hold onto people like emotional leeches. It is sad, but that is like most extreme psychological disorders.

Does she know where you live? Your phone number? How many other forms of contact?

>>17346456
"I have a bad infection but I refuse to take antibiotics because I want to fight it on my own."

Depression - real depression, not just feeling lousy - is a physical ailment based on chemical imbalances, and as real as an infection. It is NOT a matter of will or lack of guts, and therefore can't be battled by will and determination alone.

Just as you would take medicine for other physical ailments, take your medicine here.

>>17346456
>part of me feels like I can just fix it on my own


Then do it already.
If you can't then maybe it's best to take the help and fight it already than to spend many more miserable years struggling and letting your life go to waste

did u try vitamines yet?

What can the police do? She's 19.

>>17346423
Don't see the problem, tell your ex to fuck herself or better yet ignore the bitch.

>>17346423
>report me to the police.
What will she report you for?
"Police! My ex is dating someone cuter and younger than me! Arrest him!"
Cut contact with your ex.

I believe that everyone is at least a little gay.

I consider myself straight as well and I like it when other guys check me out. I sometimes even take a detour through the gay village after dropping my gf off at work. I like the attention of people thinking I want it up the butt, but I don't actually want a dick up my butt.

i don't know if it's normal but it's fucking hot

if i had a gf i'd love to see her teasing lesbos

>>17346385
It is not normal (though far too common) for ANYONE to get off by teasing anyone.

It's just another kind of bullying.

>Drug free is the right choice, correct?
yes

>Are there any disadvantages?
you might get called stuck up by low lifes

There aren't any disadvantages, and no one will call you stuck up.

Nope, social drug use is the right choice.

Whatever people are doing, you do. And you never do it on your own.
