Hi adv 22y/o male here struggling to see the point of living a "normal" life.

From my experiences in life I'm beginning to realise that what we knows as "wrong" only includes things that do not directly or indirectly preserve the human race and anything that's "right" does the opposite.

What I know as "right" is actually extremely selfish, people like to take moral high grounds when they believe they're arguing or pushing for the "good of something" when it's actually for the good of them, it's selfishness masqurading as alturism...

Again from my life experiences I've noticed that humans, us, as a collective are extremely selfish and cold but as individuals we cling to the hope that we aren't.

There's no reason to hold onto that hope and if there's no reason to hold onto it there's no reason not to manipulate and abuse those around you for self gain, I don't want to live in a world like that.

I work in the medical field and I no longer see any point in helping others nor do I get any pleasure out of it like I used to. I see everyone I help as a selfish leech and I know that I'm a giant fucking hypocrite because when I help others it's also a selfish action, I pretend it isn't but I always did it for myself, just like everyone else who helps others, it isn't altruism it's selfishness, we like the feeling it gives us not the action of helping others..

With all this considered why shouldn't I kill myself?

Why again in short would you kill yourself because you don't like your job and morality is objective?

I think I'm missing something.
>>
Don't worry OP, a lot of people go through this in their early 20s. Current media like movies and songs have conditioned "younger" generations (post baby boomer) that it's okay to feel this way and speak out. We see a thread like yours on a daily basis, for example.

I can only share with you my own way of coping with that feeling. I don't believe there's purpose in life, other than the one we give it ourselves. To me, life is about experiences, and in the end all you have are your stories.

So why shouldn't you kill yourself? Aside from upsetting those close to you (who cares, you're dead anyway, so you won't experience that guilt), there's the whole
>you haven't experienced everything life has to offer

If your job is no longer fulfilling, then quit. Apply for something else. You say you are trained and already working in the medical field at 22, so I'm guessing you're not a physician or a nurse, but paramedics, med techs, etc are always in demand in the best countries, so go find a job somewhere new you'd like to explore. Or just change the field all together and travel for a bit, see what's good. Maybe during your travels you'll find something or someone that can give purpose to your life.

Otherwise then you could kill yourself, once you feel you've had enough.

hi
first timer on this board as i am usually a /pol/tard.
don't know the etiquette here so sorry. i could use some advice so here goes...
>live with girlfriend, she's a degenerate alcoholic
>been trying to "change for 3 YEARS"
>doesn't care about its affect on me
>constantly fight
>she says we need to "make a list"
>so we can sit down and talk it out
>convo begins when i get home from work
>she has list
>and a pint of booze in her as well
how the fuck can i take this seriously?
>tell her again my main prob w her is alcohol
>gets pissed, tells me she doesn't want to see me
>i should move out
>close door, lock it, try to sleep
>this morning, she so sorry
>again
>ask her if she was drinking during "list time"
>she says 'no'
>i could smell her across the room
i care about this girl, but i can't fix her
she doesn't understand what an asshole she is when she drinks, which is about 3 or 4 times a week (not socially, she gets SMASHED and mean).

so, what the fuck do i do now?
ask me some questions if you like.

You videotape her ass being a drunken fucktard and show it to her when she's sober.
>>
>>17207695

What was on the list?

If I were you, I would give her an ultimatum. Either she quits drinking or you leave her. Let her know that you're absolutely serious and that it's her last chance. Meanwhile prepare to leave her because she probably won't stop drinking. It will suck at first and she will most likely clean up her act for a few weeks in an attempt to get you back. But your life will be better off without her in the end.

>>17207717

>>17207727
my list was pretty much all alcohol and what stems from it. her list was, in my opinion, things that stem from and were created by HER alcoholism. but she doesn't get it. I'm packing my bags as i post this. i don't believe she's sincere. she's a good person, but she's just lost in booze. last night she wants me to leave, today she wants me to stay. i can't fucking live my life like this.

Hey /adv/
I'm really needing some help because it's killing my fiancee but she's a technical support
Officer in the local primary school (or elementary for my American speaking friends) which means she works as a teachers aid for a child that has O.D.D.
Now this child is about seven years old but still physically harms my fiancee and other teachers, now here in Australia you can't physically or mentally harm the children so what's the best way to put the fear of God into a little shit who thinks it's okay to get away with harming women (in particular). I need your help /adv/, you're my only hope.

My girlfriend keeps wanting to talk while I'm playing games.
She got home from work and asked to call, I was in a game but saw the message and didnt get back to her until after another game was done.
By that time it was late so I told her we can skype while I get into bed.
We talked for 5 minutes then I told her I was going to bed and she got upset and kept saying we never talk because im always playing my games.

I think I should be able to play my games when I want for as long as I want and I really dont see this as a big deal. I think shes blowing it out of proportion.
How do I get her to chill out about me playing my games?

>>17207601
You blew her off for video games. You can do what you want. But its her call to decide if you arent providing her with enough attention. Seriously, who picks videogames over a gf.
Im not saying you cant play, but if you know she wants to talk and you only save 5mins for her you are a piece of shit for spending more time on video games.
>>
>>17207601
Do you understand that the problem is not you playing games, but the fact that you're not giving her attentions and taking her for granted?

Relationships require effort. If you don't want to put effort into being with her, dump her and play as much as you want.
>>
>>17207609
I do give her attention. I message her asking how her day is going when shes at work. No need to be a cunt about it.
I was tired thats why it was only 5 mins.
>>17207609
I am putting effort in. I flew down to see her for her birthday.

Hello guys !

I will launch my project soon on Kickstarter, but before I would like to know what you think about it : https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/cuboak/89598128?token=2a7c0084

I am not an engineer, so you may have thought of these things already. but I will say them anyway, just in case.

the pitch video is pretty good, and the concept has a lot going for it. I am a bit worried about the units structurally though. maybe you should offer bracers to give support to the larger configurations.

will the boards have holes for hardware to be inserted? in the one part of the video, it looked like someone was installing holes. if it is snap-together, that the metal bars may not be enough to hold the boards together when weight is placed on them or something is leaned against the unit.

I like the idea of using boards instead of particle board. but I will say this: although the lumber industry makes standard sizes of boards, they sometimes use loose tolerances compared to most manufacturing. the difference is not as noticeable if building a house, but when assembling small things like furniture, a few mm or cm can stack up quickly. if the board is supposed to fit snug into the channel, you may have problems with fit. and even a small amount of warping can throw everything off. if you haven't already accounted for this in your design, you should do so. carpenters deal with it by measuring a lot and planing or adding shims where needed. your end users will not be carpenters. so you will have to find a different answer.

again, I am not an engineer, so some of this may already be obvious to you.

overall, it is an exciting idea, and I think you should continue developing it. I really like the idea of it, and I hope you can make it into something successful. good luck OP!

>>17207663

Just recently my son came out to me. I had been worried for awhile. His teachers said most of his grades were slipping and he seemed depressed and withdrawn. Corey said he'd been hiding it for awhile because he was afraid I would reject him. I sat him down and told him that I loved him and that God loved him, but that his salvation was in danger if he did not resist his unnatural temptations. I told him how being gay would mean he would live a shorter life, and that if he couldn't change his orientation he could be celibate like most the ex-gays are. He started crying saying something along the lines of "I knew you wouldn't understand! You're just like everyone else!" before running to his room and slamming the door. What did I do wrong? I don't want to lose my son, but I fear I already have. I talked it over with his therapist, who had the ludicrous idea that homosexuality was unchangeable and that trying to repress could lead to lots of psychological damage (I've dropped him and will try to be finding another therapist with more moral beliefs). I wouldn't be surprised if he's the one who's feeding my son all the homosexual propaganda about how its "OK" to be gay. That, or how homosexuality has engulfed the media, making it seem 'cool' and 'hip' and how they were just another oppressed minority. You didn't have to worry about seeing two men makingout ontv at my age! I don't want to sound like a fanatic, but I'm worried what other effects will come out of this increasingly secular, immoral society obsessed with filth. Am I too late? Or is it possible to save my son?

I live in a working class area in england. Most of the people here dont work, they live on the dole (benefit paid by the state to the unemployed.) and make extra money selling random shit. the people i speak of typically get labeled as chavs. due to interacting with people on the internet and reading books, i was able to release my self from the culture of my environment. My whole highschool life was fucked up because the people in my class would do nothing but mess about and distract me. I feel like i didnt learn anything from about 11-16

I feel somewhat angry at my parents for bringing me up in this environment, they must of been aware at how it would effect my upbringing. I have become somewhat socially retarded because i dont know how to interact with normal people, if i go on trips to anywhere else, its feels odd when random people talk to me and i dont know how to react. what should i do? dont have the money to move as im a student. living in this environment is depressing.

I was brought up in the midlands, my school was catchment for council estates and had the same educational experience as you did probably - the majority of the class is spent telling people to shut up than learning.

I got AAB at A levels off my own arse by studying the syllabus and being somewhat smart to start off with (I'm not super smart just enough that I don't need help with reading or writing). I graduated with a 2.1 from a redbrick university. (moved cities for this).

My parents felt immense guilt sending me to a shit school. They tried to send me somewhere better but I was denied due to the catchment area. We couldn't afford private education so I did the best I could in a shit situation. You can't blame your parents, I'm sure they would have moved you if they knew how to or could afford to. Don't lean on others for explanations or answers, when you come from shit like we do you gotta pull it our your own arse and do the best you can do.

Chavs are good at one thing: solidarity. I hate chavs for their shitty attitude and low standards but you gotta admit they do stick up for each other and are there for each other. Learn that from them - how to be a proper mate and proper family values.

You sound like you're embarrassed of your upbringing. I know that shame but it is just your shame. If someone is being a snob then understand they they don't know any better. We're unlucky mugs you and me, we don't and never will gave daddies money to dig us out of a hole and it sucks. You're young enough to start again. The good thing is there's loads of bursaries out there for us poor kids. Search for them and apply for them. As a student there's loads of subsidised clubs for things you never would have been able to do before. When talking to new people don't talk about home and your past just talk about what you're into and what you want to do. If anyone asks just say 'it's boring, what about your past?'
>>
>>17207380
thanks for reply. i appreciate it.

i wouldent really say im embarrassed of my upbringing, more annoyed that i had less opportunities than other people, and meaningless shit was advocated to me. i understand with my parents, they probably didnt have much of a choice, and didnt take into consideration how much it would impact me, i think they are the only reason i didnt become a "scally" - its just, at the back of my mind, i partially blame them, though, i probably shouldent.

I done terrible at highschool due to influence of people, and yeah the majority of my class was the same as yours. I became secluded and didnt do much but play video games to escape from it all. at about 18, i got into working out and reading and i have been trying to turn my life around. im still finding it a bit of a struggle, people in my university still dont care about getting good grades, all they do care about is drinking, at least they are not telling me to shut up and shit like that though.

Chavs definitely are good at solidarity. i was kind of a chav when i was highschool but it was only really to fit in because anyone that didnt follow their culture was bullied. a few of my acquaintances are chavs. One positive thing i will say about chavs is that they are not plastic, they are normally straightforward, loyal, and true with what they say. i probably prefer chavs to edgy people like metal heads. my problems with chavs is that i cant have a conversation with them, and they are incredibly uneducated about basically everything. they often think they are intimidating for example but very rarely know anything about fighting.

Its not even lack of more that i talking about in regards to less opportunities, its not be able to talk and interact with decent people who i can learn from, and who will influence me to improve myself. over all, i should be ok. i just want to vent because its all really annoying me.

>>17207319

Make sure you get a full-sized, 88 key keyboard. Not absolutely necessary but try to get one with hammer touch if possible. It will feel closer to a real piano. Yamaha's have a nice grand piano sound imo. Look for one on craigslist and kijiji. People constantly buy pianos and never end up using them.

My girlfriend spends all of her money on stuff she doesn't need (figures, collectionables, ..) and then complains on how she's broke.

While I think it's a waste of money, it does help her deal with her anxiety I guess. But it's getting a bit out of hand. Her bedroom is borderline a hoarder's bedroom and she can't stop buying shit.

I tried to tell her once she should save up, which she does, but all of the money that doesn't go into savings is spent on shit she doesn't need.

I feel it's none of my business -BUT - I'm a little worried that her collection will turn into hoarding.

That's nasty and gross man does she even keep the figures clean?

>>17207325
Oh ya and hoarding is an emotional and form of OCD, the emotional part is she's filling a void that's there so she's lonely? You tell her not to do one thing and she does it, why? For your attention. This is where the mild OCD comes into play.
>>
>>17207325
You know what. She does not. Never thought about it.

>>17207331
She does have OCD but I didn't know hoarding WAS part of it. It explains a lot. She is pretty lonely aside from me and a couple of friends she has (tho she usually prefers to be alone herself)

You're both just growing up and growing apart. It happens to everyone. You're frustrated because you feel like you're putting in more energy to the relationship than she is. You may find if you stick at it eventually the friendship will get back to being close again. Alternatively it could just keep drifting apart, people change as they get older and sometimes relationships fail too because of that. Put yourself in her shoes - she's in a new country with new friends and loads of new things to do. She's obviously excited and loving it. Nothing has changed for you really and you're still talking about the same old things. I suggest you go and visit her so you can experience some of things she does.
>>
>>17207407
I know that she wants to move on from high school as she said it herself. She didn't like some girls from high school.
I have no interest to visit that country and I will not fly there just to meet a friend.
>>
>>17207285
It is normal to grow apart when you grow up.
She is excited about her new life and she talks a lot about it. Everyone does.
If you don't think she's being a good friend, just let her go.

You're not "uncool" because you don't party or you don't have a boyfriend, but you seem like a passive and whiny girl, which is definitely uncool.

How do I organize a coup?

social media

Generally I try to go for the Duke immediately, but I don't block Foreign Aid or even take taxes. I let things through for a round or two, taking Income, and only then start doing Duke-y things. This always baits someone into calling on me -it never fails, seriously, even with people who've seen me do this dozens of times- and that takes out a few of their cards.

Then, if I can get my hands on a Captain, I start stealing. Same strategy as before: make people think I don't have it. It helps that I have less than no poker face, so I can always look like I'm lying even when I'm not.

And then, when I have seven coins, I coup. Simple as that.

Oh, wait...
