If someone you're close to would commit suicide, would you wish them to leave something behind for you, such as a letter, painting etc.?
I want to kill myself, but care a lot about my mother.

Are you ok anon?

if you care a lot about her, don't kill yourself. It's horrible to outlive your child.

>>17278959
I thought about something rather personal, something selfmade you know? I'm curious whether it would be positive to leave something like that behind or if the people affected by it would feel worse or whatever.

I hate life and want to die.

My gf and I argued a while ago, she said she needed time and told me to wait at least two weeks. Today it'll be one week and I took a two hour bus (it's a long-distance relationship) just to say that we shouldn't waste our time figuring it all out, that it is as simple as stating if we want to continue with the relationship or not. So I lied to her and said my sister was with me and that she asked me to have lunch the three of us. She said yes. I'm a couple of block away from were she told me she would be watching a movie. My question is, should I go find her and explain the situation (I don't know if she's with friends) or I propose to meet in a different place and then explain?

Should I feel guilty about buying really good computer equipment from that are selling them ridiculously cheap and don't know any better?

I'm seeing a decent selection of perfectly good widescreen monitors being sold for $35 on craigslist, one of which was a quality $200 monitor (in 2009) for $19. 1/2 the titles and descriptions only mention the brand and no other technical info, so I don't think they know what they got.

Chances are they just want to get rid of it.

When I worked at Goodwill people donated expensive stuff all the time. They just didn't have a use for it, and the money wasn't all that important to them.

i have a 10 hour flight tomorrow and fucking hate flying. I have shitty ears that can't handle headphones, much less on the volume needed to hear anything on a plane, so i can't watch movies or do basically anything other than trying to read which never works.

so i'm contemplating skipping sleep tonight and catching up on the plane. i'm taking a taxi so i don't need to worry about being deprived on the road, i'd just have to make it to the plane and then hopefully sleep through the entire shitty ride.

is this a bad idea?

How sensitive are you? I'm pretty sensitive to noise, sleeping on a plane didn't really give me any rest when I tried it (I also skipped sleeping the previous night)
>>
>>17278833
A little but I could probably do it. How'd it go, did you have to just suffer through a day without sleep until collapsing?
>>
>>17278829
Well what's the time difference between where you're going? Judge by that if you can't get your sleep schedule back on track or you can't just take a medication or something to get over being a sensitive cunt with no self control.

honestly, im a bit out of my element here. it doenst have to be super legit cuz its just something to have so that a business owner can play it off as legit consulting.

so far i got three pages

on the main page im planning ot list what we can consult but im getting
>hiring (going on about how we can review the applications for them)

those people actually make enough money to pay for a manager?

>>17278793

yeah i make 15 an hour. but hes not one of those 'walk in, ten dollar reading' types. we dont do anything flashy with signs, our office is very private and he charges 360 an hour. since ive been here we never had one official 'business consulting' client, most people just work those kind of questions into the regular readings. but this guy is willing to pay us regularly so not passing us up.

and by manage i mean i manage the whole business, not like i manage him specifically.

Good luck with designing that front page to look attractive but not too unprofessional.
Make the contact us page easy to find.
Ask the psycho if the testimonials should be the center of attention when you visit the page, and if not, what will be?
>A little bit about the psycho
notable clients, I don't know if this was your idea or the psycho's, but that's not the greatest idea. That info should be private. And if I see who else this psycho is killing, I don't want to fit into that group of people or I could start making negative presumptions and kill myself instead.

hey /adv/,

So in this world we can literally have almost anything that we want. Money, power, fame, grades, possessions are all 100% obtainable with enough effort, determination, and will. If you want it bad enough, you WILL obtain it. This is a fact.

The one thing that I could NEVER get my hands on though, are relationships wit certain people. Not matter how determined I was, no matter how much time I have spent with them, no matter how BADLY i wanted them, certain people would slip away from me.

We should have more skill building courses on ow to retain relationships, particularly boyfriend/girl friend relationships. Say if they break up with you, and completely take this relationships away from you, this could have serious detrimental affects on a person's ability to adapt to the stuation, and stay focused on school, work, and responsibilities. Their life coul easily go into a turmoiled state.

We need to educate people on how to combat break ups, because this is someting that is completely out of our control. The person initiating the break up as full control over you, and can leave whenever they want. I think that in a way this is a form of injustice. How can they leave when you have given everything to them? You time, your body, emotions, thoughts were connected to them completely, then they leave you?

This is a problem many people experience. When you console your friends or family, everyone says to move on as if the connection you had was meaningless.

We need to solve this problem somehow..the way we cope with break ups today is seriously corrupt. we walk away as if our lives during that time meant absolutely nothing. we lose apart of ourselves, and we are told that that is okay. this is not okay.

That's a blatant lie, you haven't lived enough if you think that's true; you're hopelessly (and dangerously) naive if you actually believe that.

I find myself stressed both at work and at home for no particular reason and for things I can't control.

Things going wrong at work, not doing well at videogames, seemingly basic things drive me up the wall (and it's not people as I live alone)

I've just come back from a holiday and I thought that might help, but I'm still the same even after a break.

I did have depression a couple of years back, but I seemed to get over that fine with a bit of help.

What do /adv/?

Focus and perspective are needed to overcome stress. Whenever something goes wrong and you feel yourself falling into that habit--STOP. Take a few breaths. Ask yourself: What am I really upset about? Is it really under my control? What will my getting worked up over this do to help make things better? What IS a better way of dealing with this kind of thing? Seriously--a little pause and reflect might save you from stress related health and social issues later. GL!

Me and a guy ive trained with for a while, ( He's X-Military I'm a self defense/ martial arts guy, not BS arts like karate tho. Just saying we aren't like just kidding ourselves or nothing. )

But anyway we are about to get our Bounty Hunting license together and begin doing that as a team,
Its legal in our state and neighboring states and with our combined experience I think we could find decent work.

So my main question is, what will the 20 hour course and exam be like?
I want to be able to prepare a little before hand.
Is anyone here licensed or took the course and exam?

Haha, oh man. Do you have any criminal connections? Any detective or cop Experience? The hard part about hunting bounties isnt fighting, its finding a hoodrat in the middle of the Detroit without getting shot at and making sure your loved one doesn't get his ass kicked by his nephew when you bring the hoodrat in.

My ex boyfriend was removed from the home in 2012 or 2013 for molesting his sisters, then in 2014 his mom sub let her apartment to us. One of the sisters lived there part time and there were times he was left alone with her. There is a police report to prove it. We called the cops on her because she wouldn't give him his ID and bank card when we were trying to move out... I called CYFD today, gave them his new address/phone number, and mentioned the police report. What do you think they will do? What kind of legal consequences will his mother face?

Hi /adv/,

Currently researching for an interview I have tomorrow. My current job and ones before it have pretty much given me the experience I need to do very well at this one, but it's also a very specific skill set, so I need to be able to refer to a wide range of ideas and knowledge.

I'm a bit worried that I'm going to overload myself with information, but I really don't want to walk in their unprepared. I have a very good chance of being successful due to how much interest the company have shown in me but I also won't be counting my chickens before they've hatched.

So...what should I be focusing on for my interview? How can I make sure the information I'm looking at is totally relevant? Should I focus more on the knowledge I already have from my role and just try and answer the rest on the day?

Also, do most interviewers allow you to take notes in with you? I will be taking a folder of my certificates anyway and usually ask the interviewer if they mind me having notes but it seems a bit unprofessional for such a skilled role.

>>17278617
Just refresh yourself on things that you did at the prior job and have a few questions to ask the interviewer to show that you're interested in the new position and their company. Try not to bring notes--they might fumble, get out of order, or otherwise be a distraction. Smile, maintain eye contact, and try to project confidence and enthusiasm. If they like what they saw on your resume/application, then the interview is really about putting a face to those words, so look your best and act like you belong there! Dress like you already work there as well, if possible! GL!

My uncle did all the hiring for a decent sized company for like 10 years?

I asked him once what are the most important things he looked for in interviews he said (1) was their shirt tucked in and (2) were they on time for the interview.

Sounds simple and basic but that was his job to l decide if people were worth being hired.

So just dress nice and show up maybe a few minutes early just to be safe.
>>
>>17278641

Funnily enough, I'm going to work in the morning anyway then I'll be driving to my interview so I was thinking of wearing my standard every day attire (a fitted skirt and a shirt) but didn't want to look like I hadn't made a specific effort for them. I am a stronger interviewee, so I'm not too concerned about my ability to at least manage during the interview...I just don't want to end up with too much in my head or too little! I'll leave the notes at home I think :)

>>17278651

This is a very good point. I'm always early for interviews (although nothing else) and hopefully I'll look presentable.

This a long text. I appreciate is someone reads it, even more if I get some feedback.
This started on early march and ended a few hours ago.

Before this, I was dating someone, years ago. I'm from south america. Came here 2~ years ago. Started "dating" a year after that. It was mostly online, talking or going out eventually, but nothing serious, I get bored really easily if I don't find the other person mentally attractive.
My break up with my ex was weird. Each one went its way and never talked back. Until around a year and a half that I was here.

Fast forward. Met someone on tinder. We started talking and eventually met. There was chemistry, really cute, slightly older than me american woman.
We kissed a lot that day. Next weekend, we went to a hotel for two days. She payed for everything.
She told me about her life. Her previous relationship was abusive and unfaithful. She started dating several people on the side thanks to that. She mentioned her ex's name more and more. Mostly because she was drunk most of the time. Alcohol, cigarettes and/or weed. Which I don't do at all (neither of those 3)
Things started to get better, she would mention that ex and/or several other. I never told her that it bothered me.
Her ex got sick, she started talking that she was worried about him and went the hospital once or twice.
It bothered me, but I was kind of alright, it's another person's life.

Caught her on tinder one day. She said she wasn't sure if I wanted to make the relationship work because I almost never called her (we texted all day long)

Things got really bad. Both of us lost our jobs. She always took care of me. With or without job. I will always be grateful, she made sure I was fed and well all the time.
She got quite drunk a few times and wanted to break up with me.
I talked about my (only) ex to her. The third time she wanted to break up, it was because she saw I talked to her on whatsapp. She got mad and asked her what was my need to talk to her. If there was something my ex was providing that my girlfriend didn't. I told my ex it was best to part ways again.

She eventually met my family. We talked about getting married and names for kids.
We fell in love for each other.
Last night, after I picked her up from work, she mentioned sending a text message. I glanced at her phone and saw an open conversation where she was trying to send pictures of herself (facebook, bikini) to someone.

And the most painful one. I'm at work, trying my best not to cry. Feeling really bad (physical, mental and emotionally)

I confronted her. She said it was a friend of her roommate's, which gave them weed. But, he started doing it for free, asking to go out several times.
I checked her phone. Before the worst part, she mentioned something like "I started dating someone from (random) ethnicity", of course, not mine. According to her, it was sympathy to get help to get a job.

She had calls and conversations with her ex, last one, the one she always mentions.
Sexual talks, nude/dick pictures of him, things she would like to do to him, phone talks, going since we started talking to yesterday. She said she still loves him.

We both agreed that our relationship was never going to be the same if we continued.
(2 of 3)
>>
After that, she said she understands if I want to break up, but said that she never cheated physically on me. She used to date a lot before, but that she was faithful to me and really loved me.

I mentioned, once I'm gone, it's going to be like if I never existed.
Deleted all of our pictures together on her phone and facebook, conversations, my contact, everything that I could.
She got mad at the next morning, saying I didn't have the right to take her memories, and that she has no one.
After that, she went out for a smoke, I checked her phone. She sent a message to the dealer saying to go to her place, that I had broken up with her.

That was after she got mad. Before that, she asked for a second chance, that she loves me and wanting to have sex with me.

She said she just wanted someone to buy her smokes and alcohol, but went directly to other person before me.
She said that if I do that, she won't meet up with the other guy.

I dropped her at her place and came to work. Here I am now.
On a mediocre job, no friends, no longer a place to live and I owe my last 3 payments of my car.

I'm sure I skipped details, mostly because I'm sad, heartbroken and stressed.
I considered suicide. You might say, suicide over breaking up with someone you dated for almost 3 months? Well, I was in love. I asked her "why would you do that to me? Why hurt me?", especially after the scene she made when she saw I was talking with my ex (about life, nothing sexual)
I'm starting to feel somewhat better after writing all this.
Thanks for listening. I will appreciate any comment.

There's not a lot anyone can say that makes this any better

It was a whirlwind 3 months by the sound of it, and it appeared to be a fairly unhealthy relationship. She seems to smoke and drink a lot, whereas you don't. That can be a huge mismatch

It was just 3 months. It was infatuation, not love

Hang in there

I'm 20 years old and I haven't gone to college or university.

Graduated at 18, and started working as a file clerk for a government agency as a temp. Got laid off when the job was finished, starting working in a government call centre related to taxes making 55k a year, but got laid off there after tax season as well.

What should I do? I have 10k saved and I'm now on unemployment. Should I go to university or college? Should I try to use my resume with two government jobs to try to get a decent job instead?

Any advice or insight would help. As you can tell I'm young and don't have a lot of knowledge on this type of situation

I'd try to leverage your existing experience into something profitable. You have record of making 55k so you can ask for that when applying to similar work.

If that doesn't pan out and your unemployment benefits are starting to expire, consider college.
>>
>>17278518
Try to get a job, preferably in an government office again, but set a time limit to how long you will search. If you get that job, consider taking college part time or in spare time so you can have a degree. If you don't get a job reasonably soon, consider what you want to study and see if you can take courses and work on campus or get job assistance/referrals while studying. I hope that this is helpful! GL!
>>
See if you can get government grants and go to school for free. It's called FAFSA. The best thing you can do is invest your 10k (if you want to do it safely put it in a mutual fund, if you're feeling a little risky then look into the stock market). You're at the perfect age to start investing in retirement. The 10k you invest now in a mutual fund would be worth 320,000 by the time you would turn 55 years old. Get a part time job if you go to school.
