I've been thinking about getting my first tattoo. It would be on my leg and I'm thinking about a copy of one of Rockwell Kent's Moby Dick (my favorite book) illustrations.
What do you think? Also, share your tattoos and if you regret them. Was it painful?
>>17269967
why permanently disfigure your skin just to have a picture on it?
>>17269967
That's going to look shit as a tattoo.
>>17269973
why not
What are some quality shoes that are still in style this year, but not terribly expensive to buy?
i would direct you to /fa/ but that place is a fucking joke
>>17269948
What type of clothing do your outfits consist of? What shoes do you already have?
>>17269992
Typically a graphic T and Calvin Klein jeans. Right now I wear a pair of Adidas low canvas walking shoes. I got them because looked simple and functional, but not overthetop stylish (also because I had a DSW coupon and they were on sale). They look something like this, but with red soles instead.
I'm 23 years old and my parents won't accept me or support me in my choices. I'm not making illegal or bad choices. I have my own job, place to live, pay my own bills etc. I haven't lived with them in years. I feel like I'm coming to the point where I need to cut them out of my life. Has anyone else felt that way? how did you handle it? or how did you cut family out?
>>17269941
What are the problematic choices they don't support
>>17269941
just visit them once a year out of obligation, answer if they call, and that's that
i'm jealous that you can support yourself financially. just graduated college and don't have a job, still living with my parents whom i'm not close with. looking forward to the day when i can live alone
>>17269947
my boyfriend. they have never even met him. ( I am a female just for those who think I am a male coming out to my parents. that's not the case)
With my new free time I've decided to start a running schedule, I found an old MP3 I can download music onto, anyone have a good site I can download free music onto? Preferably without getting a virus.
How fucking new to the internet are you? Pirate Bay and Kickass Torrents
>>17269939
>old MP3
>download music onto
fuck man are you 60 years old? do you not have a smartphone with access to pandora/spotify?
>>17269953
I'm looking a little faster than torrenting a couple hundred songs.
Long story really short, I will miss a huge opportunity if I don't get laid in a week and a half. I haven't jerked it in a week (barely masturbate anymore), and I am really backed up. Like I feel prssire down there. Should I hold it off and see if I can get lucky, or just go pleasure myself?
>>17269852
jack it
>>17269852
> I will miss a huge opportunity if I don't get laid in a week and a half
what the fuck are you talking about
what are you even asking for advice about
>>17269857
Like I said, long story really short. A little more detail is this: I've been abroad for about a year, heading home soon and it'd be nice to have a foreign exchange, like a souvenir
For real, this isn't a joke. I think it is actually possible, but I don't know how. What do I do to become a real super saiyan?

Tense all your muscles really hard to get the blood flowing. Do it for a few minutes and scream at the top of your voice to get pumped up. Then you need to raise your inner power level
I hear you can only do it when you are in desperate need though, like when you are about to die or when your friend gets blown up.
Is it normal to have homicidal thoughts about going on a shooting spree from time to time.
Or should i seek help? I mean everyone has thoughts about shooting their boss or co workers every now and then right?
>>17269824
I used to. Not about my job, I loved my job, but definitely in high school I thought about mass murder routinely. This was before Columbine.
>>17269831
So you think its something I'll outgrow? I mean im in my 20s and i know i shouldnt be feeling this way,i think...
>>17269824
>I mean everyone has thoughts about shooting their boss or co workers every now and then right?
Nah, I'd prefer to strangle various individuals.
Should I forego graduate school? I barely have a 3.0 and save for a handful of programs, I wouldn't be funded. I would have to fund myself with loans and work. This may sound irrelevant, but time and time again I've been told funding is a big deal and if you lack it don't even bother going to graduate school. Is this bad advice?
depends how expensive the tuition is and what the degree is.
sometimes it is worth to pay out of pocket for graduate degrees, but it'd better be a practical professional degree like law or an MBA or something like that
>>17269789
Can't you just be a TA? Unis love their wage slaves.
>>17269885
you can be TA for the next ten years and you won't even come close to making a year's worth of tuition lmao
I caught my sister blowing her boyfriend.
I came back from a late lunch earlier with one of my pals, this was around 4. Walked up to the front door but it was locked. I figured someone was just taking a nap and forgot I was out. Didn't have my keys with me and didn't wanna fuck up somebody's nap, so I just came in the back door. Walked in, took a dump, and went to the couch to watch some TV. We have a pretty big sectional, and I saw a blanket propped up with shit moving underneath it. I thought what any logical person would: It was my little brother playing cave or some shit with one of his friends. So, I figured I'd go over and try to scare the hell out of them.
At this point you should know that my house has window unit A/Cs, not central, so they're pretty loud and hender your hearing ability pretty significantly. This blanket was located right in front of one of our air conditioners(it's about a foot or two higher than your head would be when you sit underneath it.) Just wanted to elaborate on that so you understand why they didn't know I was here at this point.
Anyway, I sneak up to the blanket and sit right next to the blanket. Remember, it's a sectional, so no counterweight issues, someone could sit right next to you and you would never know as long as they're on their own section, and each section seats one. I sit there for a second, thinking about what to do, and it hits me. I grab the side of the blanket, whip it over my head, and scream "HAY GUYZ, WUTS GOIN ON IN DIS BLANKET?!" No one would have understood the joke as I'm the only anon in my family, but the poetry of the phrase itself is reward enough for the gag.
Just as I get to the word "on", I see my answer and it slows down, so it was more like "Hey guys, what's goin on...in..this blanket...". There she was, my 15 year old sister on her knees in front of her boyfriend, his half erect cockn'balls hanging out the top of his shorts.
(cont)
>>17269724
But still, I finished my sentence. I don't know why I did it, I saw wut wuz goin on in dat blanket long before I finished my question. It's not like if I finished it, we'd all forget the situation and have a hearty laugh, him with his dick hanging out, her with a sweaty, red-as-a-baboon's-ass face from embarassment and sucking his dick under a hot blanket for god knows how long. Anyway, I'm sitting there with my mouth wide open, with her's open as well (out of shock, not lockjaw,) and I'm shifting my eyes all over the room trying not to make eye contact with either of them. He's covering his crotch with the blanket, with his hand propping it up, trying not to get precum all over the thing. I don't know what the hell to do, so I just say "what the fuuuuuuuck", got up, walked out the door, started up my car and split. I probably would have gotten all pissy and over protective, except that her boyfriend is a really good guy and we've got a minor friendship brewing.
Came home about a half hour ago and they were both gone, thank god for that. Don't worry, I made plenty of noise coming in just in case. I don't know what I'll say when she/he comes in, it'll be uncomfortable for a while. Although, I'd imagine that making jokes about it would make us more comfortable with the situation, but I'm just not creative enough. Suggestions?
Oh my God you're a fucking idiot, but you know how to tell a story OP
I have no advice for you. If I were in your shoes, I'd probably never bring it up again and try to act like it didn't happen
>>17269728
>What has been seen cannot be unseen
>you guys are the reason I need therapy
>scarred for life
A few examples of sarcasm you should use to ease tension. Use those types of jokes
So I got a tattoo. Honestly I like it but my parents don't. The text had meaning in that I've attempted suicide 3 times, one of which was nearly fatal. Of course they don't know that because no one knows that.
What do? Got it last night.
laser the fuck out of it.
>>17269712
>cover up
>Lazer off
>leave it
How old are you? Who cares what your parents say if you're a legal adult.
Lol you fucking retard you could have at least picked a non faggot script
Your tattoo SCREAMS "please think I'm deep"
This is the first big fight we have had. We have been together for 8 months.
I recently got a 3rd shift job at amazon over the summer and its taking its toll on me. On the weekends I'm tired and I can barely walk.
Today she got back from her part time job, and she said she wanted to go somewhere. I told her I just fell asleep a few hours ago and that my leg hurts so I'd rather do something tomorrow. (I have 3 day weekends).
She starts telling me how I always just want to sleep on weekends and I never want to do anything. 3 weeks ago I took her out to eat and went to target and spent $500 on her that night. I will always do something with her if I'm not hurting and sleep deprived. Before I got this job I was always wanted to do things with her and she would turn it down for now reason.
So I end up getting ready and the she tells me that she doesn't want me in a bad mood. I told her I am going to be in one now and I asked if she wanted to go anywhere or not. She said no and then she left by herself.
It really bothers me how she cannot see my point of view on this. And I don't know what I should do now, I don't know where she went.
>>17269667
She sounds infantile. get rid of her
>>17269667
Its just a venting argument. Sometime couples just get into argument and blatantly ignore each other point of view. Sometimes ladies need to digest an argument alone after letting all their emotions out.
Just let it blow over and do something nice tomorrow.
>>17269667
>3 weeks ago I took her out to eat and went to target and spent $500 on her that night.
If this is actually your idea of showing her that you care, you're fucking retarded. She wants to spend TIME with you.
So my main character is unbelievably smart and I need to come up with loads of extremely difficult "tests of intelligence" for her to overcome, but can't think of anything other than committing the perfect crime and then afterwards being told to solve it.
Ideas?
>can't think of anything other than committing the perfect crime and then afterwards being told to solve it.
kek
>>17269654
>So my main character is unbelievably smart
>Her
So she's a cyborg or something, right? Kinda cool, I suppose.
>>17269654
Quality writing usually involves main character overcoming a challenge related to the characters flaw. So whatever your character flaw is use that.
And if your character is flawless then he/she is called "Mary Sue" and you are just writing power masturbation fantasies which is ok and what a lt of writers do but don't publish.
Hey /adv/, I work consecutive 12 hour shifts as a security guard in an old people tower. Pretty much I see no action. Hard to stay awake any way that I should pass the time without driving myself off the deep en?
>>17269628
depends what you can get away with entertainment wise.
radio, laptop, phone, books, conversations, tv
If you are not allowed anything the company that hired you is nuts.
Take an online course, get certified in something, and find a better job.
>>17269628
Damn that job sounds cushy as hell.
I'd say get a radio.
Is it better to brush your teeth before eating or after eating? There's numerous different opinions online.
Almost all my life I've brushed my teeth in the morning before having a meal but apparently other people do the opposite and according to one site it can do harm.
Which way is the right way?
Brush once in the morning after waking up, brush once at night before going to sleep. That's how I've done it all my life.
>>17269615
That's exactly the same how I've done it. But doesn't bacteria that accumulated in your mouth overnight get taken in with your food if you just go straight to eating?
I have no idea why people eat then brush their teeth.
>>17269608
I brush after breakfast and before bed to stop the plaque from building up all day

Ignoring the fact that you're clearly underage
