Am I the only one that gets annoyed by people who are just content to stay complacent, spend most of their time sitting in their house on Netflix, and Instagram pictures of their pets or whatever?

It seems like such a waste of life.

Is it worth trying to expose people to new things?

hey first time here /adv/,
so around january ago I got into CSGO skin gambling, it was just for fun at first using referral codes on various sites, roulette, coin flips and what not and getting small amounts of credits.

fast forward to now and I'm about 8 grand down the drain. worst part is that most of that money came from the money my dad entrusted me to keep safe while he was overseas making the bare minimum to provide for my sorry ass. I'm 18 and I was fully aware of what shit hole I was digging myself into but I couldn't help myself. each day was more money spent and feeling like shit at the end of the day when you lose it all and you feel obligated to win it all back and you feel you have to win at some point when that's just gamblers fallacy. As time goes on i don't remember the losses i had, i only remember the times i won and crave it.

Honestly I don't know what to do, he comes home in about 2-3 days and I have to either tell him to his face I spent all your money on fucking pixels in a game to gamble with or do something else drastic. I haven't told a soul about this, no other family knows and they will when my dad finds out.

even now I'm still thinking about gambling and the thrill you get from winning. I know those sites are predatory and full of shit and no matter what you'll lose in the end and I read somewhere that all addicted gamblers subconsciously know this and that they play to lose at that point. Is that true and is that me right now?

as time went on winning how do you get rid of an addiction without getting help from outsiders, is it even possible? I have no social life and nobody to talk to with problems like these so I might as well try here.

TL;dr no life kid who doesn't have his life on track gets into skin gambling and loses 8 grand and has to face the music in a couple days

aw man, I think I fucked up guys
you know that old myth about how gum takes 7 years to digest?

apparently that's actually sorta true, or more accurately it doesn't digest at all and usually just passes on through.

here's my problem, yesterday I ate 2 packs of gum and my guts hurt, there is a weird intestinal pressure Ive never felt before, I think I might have a bowel obstruction.

wat do

So in my daily life I want to cultivate in my work place a signature scent. A scent that is distinctly my own. Something not strong enough so that is the first thing people notice about me, more background noise. A coherent scent presentation for those who meet me. In this I have decided on a scent I believe is neutral leaning pleasant, and relatively masculine/feminine neutral. I have decided on citrus.

In this pursuit I plan to replace my current products with the following for my daily regiments:
>Citrus Shampoo/Body Wash/Conditioner
>Citrus Toothpaste
>Citrus Mouth Wash
>Citrus Floss
>Citrus Deodorant
>Citrus Scented Hair Gel
>Citrus Scented Shaving Gel
>Citrus Body Lotion
>Citrus Cologne
>Citrus Laundry Detergent

Using these together I plan on a diverse citrus line up so as to provide a generic scent. Between these the scents will mainly be Orange, Grapefruit, and Lemon.

At my desk I plan on getting rid of my old breath mints and instead going with a citrus one.

What I am asking are suggestions on brands, and on if I should do a scent profile overhaul every so often. I plan on going like this:
Citrus -> Spice -> Mint -> "Fresh" and do it by season.

Thoughts? Is this too autistic?

Hi /adv/

I have a problem that I need to bring up with my boyfriend.
My boyfriend and I have been together for 3 years and while he is my best friend, funny, intelligent and good looking; he is (what I think) a major coward.

We live next door to 2 guys who are very nice people but also rowdy and pretty inconsiderate. They piss near our front door, loud at ungodly hours and they smoke weed near our bedroom window, which makes it impossible to sleep because the smell creeps in. They block our driveway but he won't ask them to move their trucks, he would rather wait until they leave than to just simply ask them to move.

He just refuses any form of confrontation with anything in life. Even if I have done something to annoy him, he won't confront me about it but rather make a joke about it. Sex is the same, he won't tell me what he likes and dislikes and just does whatever is not awkward to ask for.
He was a pushover at school and work until I pushed him to speak up about getting shitty hours and unpaid overtime. He now copes better but will still stall at confronting injustice...unless he absolutely has to.
He is on the far side of entitled but this is too much.
I am getting sick of being the man in awkward situations and us looking like weaklings, how can I ask him to step it up?
I mentioned it a few times but he just tells me it's not in his nature.

Ignoring the obvious fact that this is morally shitty, I need a hypothetical answer.

If I went so far as to tell someone with a kid that lives with the father and is still in a relationship, that I want to be with her... what're the next steps? Do I immediately tell her she can move in? Do I expect her to dump the guy and move out on her own?

Through out my life with other girls I never really wanted to be around them as much as this person. We both have a love for music, art, and are both musicians and we talk a lot during class breaks and I feel stupid for having these feelings. What should I do?

She toys with me too much. It's obvious she's emotionally unavailable. Every time I go to leave she pulls me back in because I'm a fool. The other day (3 days ago) I gave her an ultimatum and she let me walk, she says she's not ready to commit and that I deserve better. Today I go on WhatsApp and she had unlocked me, replaced her contact pic with a picture of flowers I sent to her the week before and her status reads "desolate." It kind of infuriated me that she's trying to act hurt when she's the one who let me walk. Do I contact her and just express how i dont trust her and I can't stay. Tell her that she might need therapy because this seems to be a reoccurring issue with her, or do I just watch her suffer (if she even is, and this isn't bullshit to reel me back in)

Holy fuck, /adv/ I caught a serious case of feelings for my co-worker and I need help. She's pretty new at this place and she's got a reputation for being shy and quiet and such, doesn't really talk to people. I didn't really understand why people were saying this, because whenever I'm near her she always smiles at me, or stares at me and brings up awkward conversations. She doesn't say hi like a normal person which was offputting at first but I figured it's her style so whatever.

Anyways, a few weeks go by and she's getting more friendly with me, when we can at least, there's rarely a time for us to just talk. But simple small sentences here and there back and forth. She smiles at me a lot and I love it, she just has this vibe and this personality that I love. (Doesn't hurt that she's gorgeous too) although I have noticed on a few occasions where we walk past each other or something and I try and make eye contact and she doesn't even look at me or say hi.

Pic unrelated

Do you guys think that it would be a good idea to line up my break with her break and ask her for her number? I've never really done anything like that before so I don't know if it's cheesy or not. But damn it, I don't usually pick up these sort of signs. Maybe I'm blinded by my own feelings, that sure is a possibility that I'm reading too much into it. What do you guys think? I'm also a pussy when it comes to talking to girls I like, even though I am very social towards other people.

I'm in ove with my friend. A very nice guy. Sadly, I'm not his type. He likes thin girls with nice boobs and a nice ass. I'm kind of a fatty. What bugs me is that he is not the sexiest guy on earth, he also as a little extra weight. Anyway, We spend more and more time together (we go out to eat just the two of us, we spend hours just talking about random stuff). Should I tell him I have feelings for him? What do I do?

I just found out one of my friends raped another one of my friends a few years ago. I found out that they dated after I became friends with them both and that the rapist did something really fucking bad and hates himself now but I never put two and two together until I heard the victim talking about her rapist one time and then it clicked. She knows I talk to this guy and has said not to worry about it when it got brought up one time but I didn't even know rape happened until just now. She could have just been saying that not to cause friction or cause she might have felt scared. What the fuck should I do if anything?
