How do I do tgis fractions math problem?
During a 258 mile trip, a car used 10 3/4 gallons of gas. How many miles would we expect the ccar to travel on 1 gallon of gas?
Probably bait since it's really easy math, but miles per gallon= miles travelled divided by gallons of gas used.
Therefore its just 258/10.75 (3/4=.75) which comes out to 24 miles for 1 gallon of gas
>>17176373
How do I divide that though? It has a decimal...

I want to mess around with an overweight, not so great looking 33 year old co-worker but only out of lust.
I don't think I'd ever tell my even my closest friends about it if it happened, so I don't know if I should do it.
I'm a 21 year old virgin but I have a decent face, height, and social skills.. but only in a comfortable setting, which is why I come across so few girls that I can try and date. I have been able to get close with girls but I always manage to sperg it up or more recently ruin it by not knowing how to show my interest in anything other than close friendship.
I feel like I'll meet a girl I'm compatible with eventually, especially when I go to college this September, but I am also really, really horny.
I jerk off at least a few times a day and at work I have a hard time not letting my dick think for me and flirt with this not so bright 33 year old.
Any advice?

So I got an odd predicament here ladies and germs. I want to bang one of my best friends' mom. I know it's not right to literally fuck your friends' mom because I wouldn't want the same thing happening to me, but I really have this temptation to. This same friend and I are shipping out to boot camp together and I kind of made this goal in my head to bone his mom before we left. This seems really morally wrong to do, but still so tempting. Should I do it /adv/ or take the high road and not be a blue falcon?
>>17176343
If you know it's not right and morally wrong, then listen to your heart. You know what's right inside, you don't need a bunch of strangers to tell you something that you already know you shouldn't do.
You're under this weird notion that just because you want to bang his mom, it'll happen.
don't do it. would you really want to stick your dick in the same birth canal that your friend came out of?
Every night I go on /adv/ and pretend my problems are more serious than they are because I find the responses amusing and I enjoy the attention
How do I kick this habit?
Stop being a parasite
>>17176285
Go look up the factitious disorders (including the infamous Munchausen's) and see how those patients are helped and rehabilitated: they're addicted to the same thing except they do it with real doctors and psychiatrists.
Basically you have to figure out why you enjoy this and if that drive is natural and healthy, in which case you find another, better way to satisfy it, or unnatural and dangerous, in which case you find a way to suppress or eliminate it.
This is often done with the help of a therapist/counselor, it's kinda what they do for a living.
>I pretend my problems are more serious than they are
How are we supposed to know if this is serious, then?
Guys
I played Overwatch a bunch in the open beta, even though it ran like shit on my computer (Played a lot of Mercy to compensate)
I did a bunch of research and upgraded my processor since I figured it'd been bottlenecking my GPU for a long time figuring it'd be enough of an upgrade to be able to play the game normally, but now that the game's released it still runs like shit, even with the new processor. (Noticably less shit, but still unplayable unless I just play Mercy.)
Here's my
>CPU
Intel Core i3-4170 3.70GHz
>GPU
Nvidia GTX 750 Ti
Could any more experienced PC builders tell me what I'm doing wrong here? Is my trusty old meme card GPU just not strong enough to handle the game, or did I shoot too low on the new processor? Is there something else that could be fucking things up?
I brought this up in another thread, and they mentioned the processor I bought is shit. I upgraded without changing the motherboard, which has an 1150 socket. Would that socket be screwing me over here? I don't know how to compare processors, honestly, so any help is appreciated.

About to have sex for the first time later this week with my sexually experienced friend, she's helping me out. Any tips for this 19 year old virgin?
>>17176231
find out if she's got a thing for corrupting innocent young men. if so, be completely yourself and let her teach you everything. you'll lose your virginity and she'll keep the experience in the spank bank forever. i know i did
Don't let yourself be "introduced into it" like a little boy
TAKE HER and feel yourself being the leading man in the situation.
That'll be great
use a condom
How do I become mentally stronger or tougher, /adv/?
I suffer from clinical depression if it matters, but I'm sick of minor things like fights with friends or stressful situations bring me down, sometimes to the point of sleep deprivation. I desperately need to get mentally tougher. What do?
>>17176216
I think it's a habit to develop, basically by entertaining tougher thoughts every fucking day and realizing when you're bringing yourself down in your head, saying SHUT THE FUCK UP to this inner critique and build brick by brick a fucking castle of manlyhood

>I feel incapable doing anything to my fullest ability
Is this depression?
You actually just described some of the specific symptoms of a very specific mental disorder. You may need professional help dealing with this.

What do you think about removed tattoos? Are they a disgrace?
Tattoos are usually overrated as fuck and people have really poor taste. If it's anything like the OP pic, yes.
Or wait, there's a chemical that's going to be released in a year or two that removes tattoos quickly and painlessly. It breaks down the ink rather than frying your skin
T. My cousin is a tattoo artist
>>17176308
Laser tattoo removal doesn't fry the skin in order to remove the tattoo, it breaks down the ink particles until they're small enough to be absorbed by white blood cells.

Doesn't matter, there's a better method soon
So I have diagnosed social anxiety. Basically I went to high school, got bullied, lost all my self confidence, lost all my friends, became a hermit, lost all my social skills, and here I am now. I'm 20 in college now and I still have this problem. I went to see a shrink and that didn't help.
I know I haven't always been like this. I know it's all in my head. Usually I'll be sitting at home, thinking "wow, social anxiety is a joke. How could I be nervous in a social situation?" But when I get out into the real world, old habits return and no amount of tricking myself will help me otherwise. Why, why, why am I still so awkward, nervous and weird? I feel like there's a trick to getting rid of social anxiety. Has anybody here overcome such a problem? I honestly feel like I've wasted the best part of my life and if I don't fix it soon, I'll be stuck here forever. What the fuck is wrong with me?
I don't really know what I'm going for asking on /adv/ other than the fact that I'm drunk and my life is in the shitter.
im 32 and im not over it, it is just part of me, you better just focus on finishing college and getting a good job
> I honestly feel like I've wasted the best part of my life and if I don't fix it soon, I'll be stuck here forever
1. Yes, focus on this. Your life is finite, and if you don't improve yourself, you will waste it and then die.
2. Other people are mere people, like you. They're not something mysterious or dangerous. They're just apes like you.
3. You probably care too much about what people think about you / about doing things in the right way, or whatever. Realize that fixating on this hampers you. Life has no rules, nobody will arrest you for saying the wrong thing.
I was rather socially anxious until somewhere in my 20's, when I learned to not care. Life is short and there's no time to waste being bogged down by anxiety. Also, even if you do something dumb, I've found that if you do whatever you do confidently, people are accepting. Own yourself and live, and things will improve, and bear in mind that if you don't, your life will be worse than otherwise.
This is all a complicated way of telling you to learn to not care, which frees you.
>>17176133
>I went to see a shrink and that didn't help.
Ok wait a sec, explain this further.
What medication did they try?
And did you go to the therapy? How did that go?
>I feel like there's a trick to getting rid of social anxiety.
There are tricks but all of them work on specific situations only. They work for normal people that are only scared of very particular things like public speaking, or talking to their boss.
For you, you don't need any tricks, since you're fucked in every situation.
Learning a gigantic set of tricks will simply replace it with a sort of social OCD, like me and others who grew up with this problem (had it since 5yo or so): we have many rules, tactics, and rituals to cope with each situation, but still get fucked whenever anything that's not "in the book" comes up or when someone goes off-script. It's not a good solution.
Like >>17176175 said, focus on your studies first. Don't let this interfere with academic progress: if it ever does, go back to the shrink and get medication for it immediately.
This >>17176204 is good advice since it sounds like you have the ability to follow it, ie not a pathological case (those generally start in childhood, from birth to age 12 or so).
Like that anon said, the biggest thing is to say "fuck everyone and their opinions". Let them think you're fucked up or crazy if that's what they want to think: the worst that can happen is that you end up with a reputation for being "the crazy guy", which incredibly freeing since you can fuck up every social situation, wear whatever you want, act as weird as you want, etc and everyone will think it's completely normal (oh, that's just Anon, he's a little crazy, don't mind him).
I'm going to be homeless soon and my mother won't give me my high school diploma or social security card so that I can get a job.
What do I do?
tell your mother to give you your high school diploma and social security card. pussy.

Hey guys. I have made a thread almost a year ago about my first gf. I will green text the back story.
>20 years old at college. Have never had a girlfriend. I met a 19 year old girl that went to the same school as me on yikyak. We hung out awkwardly for a few times over a couple weeks. I asked if she liked me and she said she does. During one of our normal meetups she cuts it short and says she needs to go and help with her friend. I hugged her and went back home where I see she has texted me. She said she never wanted to see me again and I asked what changed and she got very angry and listed off everything bad about me. From my hair, to my body language, to other things. She blocked me and said she never wanted to meet again. Weeks later she texts me and apologizes and I forgive her. She wanted to meet before she left for a summer job. A few days later we decided we want to be a couple. For the next two months she is crazy over me and tells me she wants to marry me and stuff. Then she started blocking me saying never to text her again, to apologizing saying she keeps self destructing. A month after that she got with another guy at her job and blocked me until he dumped her, then came back and tried to be friends, which was alright with me. When this happened I lose myself and sent her a very bad text message. When she came back from her job we tried to be friends then she just called me and said we shouldn't talk again that we just hurt each other. That was last august.
Haven't talked since then, but I have seen her a few times around campus. Every time I see her (most of the time with her presumptive new bf) I just get super depressed. It bothers me that I couldn't give her something this new guy can. I don't want her back, but I don't like the feeling that I wasn't good enough for her. I went through so much shit trying to make us work and it seems that her new relationship is just fine without all the drama.
Shameless bump for help.
>>17176115
>Weeks later she texts me and apologizes and I forgive her.
You fucked up. This cunt is unstable as fuck and you have oneitis to the fullest degree.
>but I don't like the feeling that I wasn't good enough for her
F U C K T H A T U N S T A B L E B I T C H
Dude, she is completely mental. Do not contact her again, trust me. Don't doubt yourself over some obviously unstable cunt. If you have a thread of self worth you will listen to the advice given to you.
I'm 23, and barely drink alcohol. Usually a hard soda or 3 a year and champagne on New Year's. Maybe some red wine with a steak, steak being a rare treat to myself.
My question being: What beers do you recommend for a lightweight semi-newbie?
>>17176070
Someone more experienced will probably chime in, but I say go for lighter beers like lagers and ales. Avoid IPA until you have a taste for normal beer.
>>17176070
I used to be like you.
Drank only a bit when I was a teenager and then stopped.
Now I'm an alcoholic. Haha. Who saw that coming?
Anywho, as you get older, beer becomes tastier and tastier.
As you get older, you appreciate bitterness more and more.
Keep trying beers. There is such a variety. One day, you'll find one and you'll be like "Damn! This is great!". And that'll be your gateway.
If you just want to get drunk, I recommend rum and coke. Sweet and inoffensive. Generally, mixed drinks are easy to drink.
My ultimate advice is to take it easy. I remember all the mistakes I made.
Now I can be almost blackout drunk and be almost indistinguishable from my sober self. But my early years were messy as hell. So much embarrassment.
Get some practice in. Understand what it means to be drunk. Learn your limits.
beer can mess your stomach and liver, it might not kill you but it will decrease your life quality, for guys heineken is a light beer, never try famosa is pure poison, I think malta beer is also light, do not drink beer just for social pressure, it will harm only you not the others
so essentially my girlfriend is about to turn eighteen, and recently a creep from her past is trying to work his way back into her life, she's scared and he's not at all concerned with the negative implications because he's a pedophile tool who just got out of prison, i don't want him to be a concern of hers anymore but he's Facebook stalking her and now he's friendly with her mother. where do i go from here?
>her and her mother not having restraining orders
just why
her mother is really friendly with him, just trust me that's not happening. She brought it up and her mom absolutely refuses to believe it's a problem.
>>17176056
Toxic mom is as big a problem then.
