My advice: have a more detailed plan than: "I'm considering running guns in/out of Russia "
What's your target country? What kind of customer do you want to sell to? How will you acquire the guns? Do you know anyone in this business? How will you physically move the shit? Do you have any basics in money laundering? What kind of partners will you need? What are the risks?
Ask yourself ask of these questions and then you will realize that there's no easy or quickie money in this line of work. Experience and networking after key and I highly doubt you have any of those.

I'd rather not give explicit details but believe it or not, I do have a plan.
I made a connection a few years back who is already in the business, and needs someone of my skillset. I am considering it.

>>17108070
Only one connection? Do you even know if this guy is legit? It seemed like a gamble unless you've been in close contact for ask these years. Again, vast and trusted network is everything there.
Regarding specifics, lets say that, hypothetically, you would like to work in the fun trafficking business. Would you have an hypothetical and detailed answer to each and every one of the questions in the first reply of the thread?

This is the only advice you need to hear: change friends.

I was virgin until 22, am now 26 and have no difficulty getting laid anymore.

You need to stop caring and have friends who motivate you to work on yourself.

change friends

>>17108040
It's hard to lose your virginity if everyone knows you are a virgin I guess.

Your sexuality is your business.

I'd try to slowly move away from your old friends and make new friends that don't know/ don't give a fuck about that sort of thing.

Girl friends are good too.

>>17108089
When I say girl friends I don't mean girlfriends btw.

A good girl friend is a good way to find a girl to fuck.

Cruise Ship for the adventure and new friends and life perspective.

Lifeguard for that /comfy/ life and if you want to save some dollars while working on a project or something.

>>17108035
I've never done it before, but from what I've read, cruise ship jobs fucking suck.

>>17108035
Any tips on how I can grab a job like that

Damn. I can see why you're a virgin.

All you need to do is take your shirt off and you'd be the classic perp on COPS.

And Jesus, is the best picture you can take of yourself where you're taking a piss? I don't need to see that shit.

Get a haircut, shave and get /fit/.

Just go to a fucking prostitute for fuck sake.

What are you, 12?

my advice to you would be to not date people on your ship, sometimes a ship feels like highschool all over again with how much fucking gossip there can be, its also against the rules so if the higher ups find out (which they will) you can get in trouble for it. Kind of the problem with the navy is that its no good for relationships since if you have a gf back home you're gonna be away from her for long periods of time. You're better off trying to go for the sailor's dream, which is to say a girl in every port.

what rate btw?

For home bases/barracks/ports, it's almost like a normal workplace. You shit where you eat, you deal with it accordingly. But being deployed to the field or on a ship? Even if it's going well, you'll still be the target of jokes and such. If it does fail, then you're in for one hell of a fucking ride. As >>17108116 said, it's like a highschool.


My advice - date someone outside your unit or service or a civilian.

>>17107971
Not OP, but...

does anyone know how harsh the drug testing is with Navy?

I think zodiac shit is fun, but shouldn't be taken seriously.

They list traits that every person can "find inside themselfes". It's pretty much a bunch of bullcrap. However, i still think it's entertaining. Especially as a scorpio (i'm one myself), the horoscopes are mostly quiet flattering.
Thinking about it, i only take something away if it was positive. For example: if i look up if our zodiac signs are compatible and it tells me "no", i just claim it's utter shit anyways. If it tells me we're meant to be by ancient star constellations, i think "meh, doesn't hurt if that's true".

The zodiac is stupid and irrelevant. They're based off of ancient superstition and have no real affect. The star charts most horoscopes use are based off of the Ancient Egyptian star charts from 3000 years ago, but since then the sun has changed its orbit around the galactic center so much that most of the constellations and stars have shifted enough from Earth's perspective that all the old star charts are about one star sign behind what they actually correspond to currently. Also, the zodiac constellations are the ones that the sun passes through as seen from Earth, and there are not 12 of those constellations but 13. The 13th, Ophiuchus, was omitted simply because it didn't fit in with the gregorian calendar. The very basis of the idea that the gravity and spatial positioning of planets millions of miles away and stars parses away have seperate effects on different people on one planet is ludicrous and mathematically unsound.

And these are purely the astronomical problems, not even touching on how the ambiguity of the actual 'readings' - how every horoscope is equally vague for any sign and always says an event 'may or may not happen'. This makes the practice unfalsifiable and ergo unscientific and nothing more than cheap gypsy magic.

I have no idea how you should do it, I've been going back and forth with if I should end a relationship of almost 3 years now that I have begun to lost my passion in. It's an awful situation to be in and I don't know what to do either anon

You should be ready to spend an evening talking, to give her closure.

Don't beat around the bush- say it directly. 'I don't feel passion anymore, I don't see myself living my life with you, there is not anyone else, I simply want to break up'

Spend the next couple of hours talking to her, show that you don't hate her, explain again and again that you don't feel the spark anymore, tell her what you told us that you kissed her and felt nothing.

The longer you drag it out the worse it's going to be

She will try to convince you op, just be strong and be clear dont bullshit around saying i dont know, me clear and objective

lads please

>>17107869

Bird in the hand cuz

Tell her she's a moped.

I don't see a problem, i guess it's just your type of girl

I've actually been thinking about the same thing, OP.
It seems like the biggest issue with this is that it would result in you not necessarily viewing the girl as herself, but as a kind of prototype of your oneitis.

>>17107852
It'll only be a problem if you try turning her into your oneitis. You have to keep in mind that any similarities are only skin-deep and that she may turn out a completely different person. Unless you really don't know your oneitis at all, in which case don't forget her name or you risk major spaghetti spillage.

>>17107767
Maybe if you put more time to study and less into taking useless online test and 4chan, you would pass high school with flying colors.

If 10% of the site is right, you should go for hard science uni. If you don't like memorizing stuff, we live in a computers are so with software engineer degree you won't have trouble getting good paying job you might enjoy.

If you don't have trouble memorizing stuff, then electricity, mechanical, physic, chemistry anything really pays off in the long run.
Still uni is mostly about forcing yourself to be productive, which I obviously can't do, since I am here with you :-)

INTPs have a reputation for being lazy, even more so than my type (ENTP). I compensated for it by searching for guidance from others, and made it though uni because of the great number of people that I had who played up all of my strengths and motivate me to accomplish what it was that I needed to do. I recommend that you find a way to do the same, even if it means pushing your comfort zone to an immense degree. I only managed to succeed in life because I found people to assist me in doing so, and would probably be nothing without them.

I used to test as an INTP.

hen i think too much i always try running, good way to release endorphin's, take mind off thoughts

My brain races before I need to go to sleep. I started neutralising it with weed. Would not recommend

>>17107708

Your question is "How do I know if she likes me or not". You're already talking to her...

Give other people more details.

The fact that she invited you somewhere shows that she's at least somewhat interested in you. The fact that she asked you to talk to her shows that she enjoys your company. I wouldn't focus too much on the word "pal."

So, how do you talk to her? Just continue to do you -- it seems to be working already. Maybe show a little initiative with physical contact so she knows that you want more than friendship. Ask her out then invite her back to your place to drink or smoke weed or whatever you enjoy.

>>17107717
Well, she initially asked if I had Snapchat, and I said yes and got her number as well. Texted her the first night and she did a lot of smiley faces and everything, but the next day she kept one lining me so I stopped texting.

She complained to me about a previous coworker who would hit on her and who would come in on morphine.

I don't know if it's much, but I saw her smile when she saw me at work the other day.

I was planning to quit so I told her I was planning to leave soon, and she said I'm not allowed to.

Fuck off weeb

Just start from the east end of the city. Once the east is burning red, you'll be able to defeat the rest.
