How do I break up with someone without hurting them too much? I know it's going to hurt them, but I'd just like to minimize the amount of damage I do. Maybe even keep them as a friend afterwards. So what's the best strategy?

You can't, people hardly accept that as an option. Also, are you really sure you want to break up with them? Think it well, I didn't and now I regret it, it really hurts ;_;

Tell him/her you 2 are a too different and a horrible fit, it just won't work. Most people buy it.

I've seen 2 different doctors, both of which didn't even want to listen to me about this.
I'm 23, and I have chronic lower back pain. It's not the spine, it's a bulging bone I feel in the backside of my hips, and it is painful. Sleeping is uncomfortable, sitting is uncomfortable, I've gone through 4 beds, and 3 couches trying to find something that would be a more comfortable living situation for my condition.
I can't sit through a movie at a theater, I can't sit in my car for a long trip, I've got the wooden beads in my drivers seat, I put analgesic gel on my back almost every night, sleep on ice packs, and take a heavy dose of on the shelf generic pain killers almost every day.
I will say the pain differs from time to time, somedays I barely notice it, but am still obviously limited in my motion of bending, and performing, and other days I'm groaning like a 70 year old trying to get out of a chair.
I feel bad, my entire body is fatigued, and has been for two weeks. I saw 2 doctors last months, one didn't even address it, and the other gave me some muscle relaxer pills that just put me to bed.
I'm seeing my first primary care doctor at the end of this month, and I've never been in this much pain that I worry if I'll make it or not.
It's been getting more intense each day for the past couple weeks, it seems. And coincidently, I also caught a cold in that time-frame, and I know that isn't helping me out one bit with the body fatigue issues.
Has anyone gone through this type of stuff before. I don't want to say it's cancer, but I now also have a boney lump protruding from the top of my spine now too.
I have played a lot of video games when I was younger, and gained a lot of weight. That was years ago, and I've lost that weight now, but I still play video games, and it might just be poor posture catching up to me or something. My head has always kind of tilted to the right.
Again, I have a doctor appointment, and I've already seen 2 that didn't care before.

>gave me some muscle relaxer pills that just put me to bed.
What pills, exactly (eg flexeril)?
Doctors aren't really supposed to do this (prescribe dangerous and addictive pills to get rid of you) but it's unfortunately common.
Use pic related or another such pic and draw exactly where the pain and bumps are (eg with mspaint).
>It's not the spine, it's a bulging bone I feel in the backside of my hips, and it is painful.
Both sides i'm guessing?
The pain's probably at a site where an abused, stiff, spastic, or otherwise impaired muscle/set of muscles attach to the hip bone.
Try a non-spring mattress, like an inflatable one, or water bed. See how that works.
Also do some back stretches and exercises to improve muscle function and range of motion, whenever something's wrong with one muscle group or nerve, its neighbors have to compensate for it, and in most sedentary people the back muscles are far too weak and stiff to compensate for anything. For example:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-QRZhlYCl8k
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k9wph_-iKys
>>17157495
>both of which didn't even want to listen to me about this.
Since it sounds obviously psychosomatic. They know they're just going to order a laundry list of expensive imaging just to have it all come back negative, and that they probably won't be able to fix it in the end since they're not trained for it (nor do they particularly want to do that job).
Better for both you and them in that situation to stop wasting time/energy and wait for it to go away (mystery back pain usually does).
>>17157495
>now also have a boney lump protruding from the top of my spine now too.
Draw that too. Make sure it's not just the C7 vertebrae (its spinous process normally protrudes and aches like hell when the muscles attached to it cramp up)

>What pill?
You guessed it, flexeril, I think it was generic, though.
>Both sides
Just my right side is in pain, occasionally the other side aches as well, but it would be to a much lesser degree. I do feel numb in my right ass cheek, and thigh from time to time, and this is a new development that is miniscule and not bothersome for the time being.
>mattress
I do have a girlfriend to consider, and I've barked up the water bed tree before with her, but she was not at all for it. Maybe I'll try that approach again, 'cause I've always wanted a damn water bed.
>psychosomatic
I don't know what that means, but the waiting for it to go away is what I've been doing for over 5 years, and it's now brought me to a point of seeing 2 doctors in 2 months, and another visit lined up. It's gotten worse over time, not at all better.
>c7
I think that's the one, after looking it up. It's right about where my shoulders/neck meet?
>>
>>17158411
Meant to add on, about exercise and stretching
Over the years I've had this chronic pain, I've done many different exercises and I have noticed nothing happening on the positive side of things.
From using a baking roller, to laying on a hard floor (that's the best, imo) I never get the relief I desire.
My mom keeps trying to get me to those mall massage people, and everyone suggests a chiropractor, but they all say they go regularly.
I don't want pills, I don't want monthly massages, I just want this problem fixed.

Hey /adv/ im just curious about behaviour of my girlfriends cousin.
So i was eating cake at the table with my girlfriend, her sisters and cousins (females i was the only guy). One of her cousins was sitting next to me on the end of the table, i noticed she's bubbley and very friendly so i didn't think anything of it. Then i noticed a couple of times i made a random comment to her she leaned in closer laughing but with her face and arms like 30cm away from me, the way she did it seemed flirty but i assumed she's probably VERY friendly to people so i ignored it. Then she randomly said (not to anyone specifically) my pants are getting too tight for my legs, stood up turned around to the mirror and tried pulling them up as her ass shook side to side then sat down. I didn't look because i was sitting with my girlfriend but i noticed it in my peripherals. I felt it was kinda inappropriate because im a guy and was right next to her but assume she felt comfortable because of all the females there.
Anyway i think im looking too much into this and it was all nothing but is this normal behaviour for bubbley females to do infront of their guys that are physically with their girlfriend.
Also i have seen her a couple of times, mainly when i played card games with my girlfriends family (young sisters/cousins) and she is most friendly towards me (smiles) than my girlfriends other sisters/cousins.
Any comment much appreciated.
Oh and i find her behaviour alluring.

You have a girlfriend. Your mind and eyes should be always on her.
>>
>>17157475
If you didn't get a boner from noticing her glorious buttocks, your GF should be worried that you can't get it up at all.
I mean is it REALLY that big of a deal for a man to get an erection?
Holy fucking shit it's as normal as anything else for fucks sake.
Jesus.
>>
>>17157484
Yeah i know but i was trying to be social so that people don't think that her boyfriend(me) isn't friendly/social. But the issue was that one of her cousins was being overly friendly and as a man i put those thoughts away, avoid them but i'm a man. If im surrounded by 6 attractive women (including my girlfriend) im going to focus my attention to my girlfriend but it doesnt mean i dont notice the way people act, especially if it's "overly friendly".
Should i just avoid her cousin?

I am using movie maker to create videos and I have this problem I can't figure out how to fix. I can't find anything on google that can fix this shit.
I think this crude pic explains the problem pretty well. I have to sort out the sound effects every single time I add a new sound.
The video I am making is going to have at least a hundred sound effects. I need the sounds to stay where I put them.

My gf for almost 9months said shed quit smoking cannabus daily. And she did for a while.
Now she started again. When she was with me at my appt. She would always sneak out without saying anything and go smoke weed at night.
Shed come back stoned asf.
Every day.
I told her I wanted her to stop doing every day. Shes always broke but keeps buying weed. Its sucks bc I lend her money sometimes and it takes a long time before she pays meback bc shed rather pay her weed dealer for weed.
I said to her she can go somewhere else to be druggy everyday.
Now she visits me often and then says she needs to go home for whatever but I know its because shes gonna get stoned.
Wtf do I do? I hate her for fucking me over like that. I invested lots of time into her to figure out shed rather go hang with her druggy friends every single day and travel 2 hours for it and 2 hours back.
And she lied just to ease my mind.
What do I do? Im starting to hate her.
Oh yeah and in the time shes lived with me she doesnt do shit around the house..
Am I just fooling myself again or rather am I just being folled again?.
Am I the clown in the situation , and what should I do ?

the replies you're going to get are going to be calling you a bait poster, controlling and abusive, and telling you you need to relax.
Leave her. I'll admit, marijuana isn't the worst thing in the world, but I understand your frustration. Get away from her. She sounds lazy and like she doesn't bring much to the relationship.
She does something that you dislike or disagree with, she said she would change, she didn't. It should be a no brainer.

just chill a bit its only weed, god your both young whats the problem? she sounds lazy, so maybe thats your problem and you should get rid of her ,

Hey /adv/,
I really need help. I suffer from bad anxiety, depression, and OCD and it affects every area of my life.
It stops me from working out like I used to and relaxing on days that I actually have off. I'm so exhausted. I just can't deal with this anymore.
I've changed my diet and started taking vitamins but the invasive thoughts and impulses just won't stop. I work out in solitude because I'm too scared to go to the gym. Not because the people there but because of my own repetitive thoughts. I always end up working at the same machines multiple times or start crying because there are so many mirrors and I don't know which one to focus on.
It's like I'm everywhere and I can't focus. I start studdering and gasping for air, my arm goes numb, and then i end up rushing out like my house is on fire.
I joke to close friends about all of "muh spaghetti" but in reality, it is pushing me closer to my own self destruction.
I can't do it anymore, brehs. Please, does anyone have any experience or advice? I'm pretty much desperate and devastated at this point.

It's not rocket science dude. Go see a doctor and try different meds. Keep in mind that if you really do have brain problems and aren't just being a emo fag, then you're in for the long haul. There's no silver bullet that will magically make you "normal", but you'll probably get better over time when you learn to manage your anxiety/depression or find a drug that works.

So you're only homeless temporarily? Why is that so?

Unless you're in an out-of-the-way area you'll probably get kicked out of a major station.

I've stayed in St pancreas overnight before there's always people sleeping, the only bad thing is people playing the pianos

anyone telling you you can actively break that train of thought is full of shit.
what you have to do is the following:

being thanked for things tons of times will lead to having a more positive sense of self

20 years old, just finished 2nd year at uni with (so far) much better grades than I've been scraping by with the rest of the time I've been there.
I figured I'd feel pretty good with things, as I'm in a stable relationship of 4 1/2 years, moving into a place with my SO for 10 weeks in about 3 weeks time to spend the summer with her, and I've been keeping up with my close friends from back home etc etc.
However, I can't help but just feel like everything is pointless or not worth it. I don't want what I have to stop / leave, but equally I look at it all and I'm just not getting the happiness from it that I think I should be.
I have things going pretty good for me, realistically, but it's almost as if its not enough / I'm disappointed with myself / my life. I want to avoid feeling like this (whatever 'this' is) and go back to how I was a few years back where I could take things in my stride.
Any help?
Tldr;
>things going well in life
>feel as though I should be enjoying it way more than I actually am
>everything feels pointless
>am i broken

I've been an arse and left studying very last minute for a fluid mechanics exam. Pic related are the topics that appeared in the past four years, and I have attached the past papers in question.
Is it at all possible that I can pass this exam I have in under 24 hours time? Does anyone know of any good guides or videos I could use? Any help at all.
I need to get 47% in the exam to pass.

Does anyone know how to reliably spoof an airline booking code?

What are the consequences if you are not on a compliant flight? Surely the people you're accountable to have some sort of emergency procedures for cases like this?
>>
>>17157251
The consequences are they withhold my final grant payment.
It's not really an emergency procedures type situation because itineraries are supposed to be approved before tickets are purchased. When I bought my RT ticket, the flights here were compliant but not the return ones, so they approved my initial itinerary but told me I needed to change my return flights.
>>
>>17157279
Sounds like something you shouldn't fuck up. Change your flight.
