Im starting a job at a grain elevator where im required to lift 50 pound grain bags for 8 hours a day. the place loads about 120 tons of feed daily and the only break is lunch or helping a customer. im about 140 pounds with little to no physical activity and im a little worried about not being able to keep up. my buddy works there and will be doing the same job (he got me the job) and he says ill just get use to it. does anyone else have work experience similar to this and what would you recommend I do to get myself ready.

Well, just be sure to bring water if you can and I mean a pretty good amount, drink it all.
I'd suggest looking up some stretches for your legs, upper and lower back, shoulders, and neck do those as much as possible after work.
Eat as much as possible and you will be fine.
I do similar work and have seen people your size do fine btw. You'll get used to it after a week or 2 and notice it just keep it up.
Also please be safe and follow the rules if you get hurt your out of work you have no idea how important your body is until you work jobs like this you know?
>>16990658
Oh yeah cut off your phone after work and get as much sleep as possible.
I know this is all common sense but trust me you'll thank me and it'll make your first time doing so much work easier, and you wont be cramping pathetically in your bed (as much),from the days previous work.
I've worked a ton of different labor jobs for years.
Get there a few minutes early and stretch. Drink tons of water, and bring snacks on top of a large lunch. Eat things like clif bars during your smoking breaks.
You don't have to impress anyone especially since it's your first day. If you need to slow down, slow down. Don't ever stop and just sit there, but it's alright to slow your pace if you're starting to hurt. Stretch after lunch.
You'll be sore as fuck every night for the first week or two, but it will go away.
Also, you'll want to drink after work, but don't, because working while hungover is the worst thing ever.

thanks guys <3
my live-in exbf (who i met via 4chan) moved out today
im a sad little koala bear
Lost feelings for gf of 3 years, started only using her for sex, and treated her like shit until she eventually cheated and broke up with me. I didn't care at first but this new guy treats her worse than I did and I realize I fucked up and actually really care about her. A few other girls even want me now but I only want her.
On top of this, the new guy got her pregnant (she's 18) and won't even help her get an abortion (which she wants). She says she still loves me and wishes she didn't start liking him. She hasn't asked me for help but I don't want her life fucked up despite what happened with us. What should I do /b/?
This is /adv/ but anyway. If you love her, you should get her an abortion. I don't know how much they are, but whatever, if you love her, then you love her.
>>16990528
Fuck I'm retarded. I meant /adv/
>>16990520
Wow. I am honestly surprised this girl is the only girl in the world that doesn't like to be mistreated.
After what age is still living with your parents truly pitiful?
>turning 21 in 4 months
>legit autistic
>have a job/go to a cc but still live with parents after an unsuccessful run at a 4 year university
>people I went to elementary school with are already getting married/having kids/obsessively couponing to save on household necessities
>>16990510
>jealous of people who are having kids at 21
Unless they were born into money or are both intelligent individuals the odds that they are welfare couple is very high anon. The answer to your question isn't universal. If you live with your parents with nothing going on for you otherwise it can be pretty bad. If you do it while you're in school/saving up for a new place or vehicle then that's a little better. Why are you so eager to be out on your own OP? Unless you have a good income you're going to earn your freedom but pay for rent + food all on your own.
>>16990510
I think its a lot more accepted these days than it was before. I'm 29 and currently still in my parents house, but I've finally made a committment, that no matter what my situation, I'm moving out at 30.
My advice, save up a little bit for a couple of months rent and get out of home as soon as you can.
I think I would have been a lot better off leaving home before the age of 25.
30 is basically it. You're a wizard. Kill yourself.
Anything below that is acceptable... I think?
25< is cutting it close though...
So I am 99% certain someone is stalking me, not sure who they are. But I've made them plenty of times. I'm a 21 year old guy if that matters.
>Started a few months back, at the start of the college semester
>Got some weird requests on faceobok, from fake accounts
>Knew they were fake, because I google image searched their profile pictures, was almost always the first result, some high profile social media person or model every time
>Told them I knew that wasn't them and asked why they kept adding me on fake accounts
>Most of the time I got outright blocked
>But one time they said that they just liked me is why
>Then I started seeing some girl over and over
>Like literally everywhere
>At campus, at the grocery store, even in out of the way not well known places like this tiny local dive bar almost nobody knows about that I go to, or at the beach at 2 in the morning (this actually happened went to play led frisbee with my roommate and she was sitting at the top of the beach entrance above us watching)
She literally shows up everywhere, and before a few months ago when the weird stuff on facebook started happening, I hadn't seen her before in my life. She is pretty distinct looking, short, long black hair, wears a lot of eyeliner, always in converse and jeans, and a plain shirt, probably about 105-110 lbs, probably in her mid twenties.
Now I tried to introduce myself to her, to see how she would react, and she flat out ignored me. Put her head down and walked away. Thing is, I catch her staring at me all the fucking time too wherever she shows up. She doesn't try to hide it like most women, she fucking stares daggers into me.
This is starting to become bothersome, I don't know if she is mentally ill or what, or why she is doing any of this. I have to get up early in the morning most days, but my roommate is a nightowl and he said the other night, there were foot steps on the roof. I asked if he was sure, and he said it was super distinct
What do I do?
Wow I wish a cute girl would stalk me OP. I say stick your dick in her, careful though she might be a yandere
>>16990446
Nah my dude, something is seriously wrong with this girl.
>>16990454
I'd suggest you lock your doors and windows at night. As a matter of fact check to make sure you have no hidden cams in the shower or in your toilet.
Of course you could confront her again but you might be raped.
My family is super racist and I'm not. I'm black, dating a white guy. Should I ever introduce him, or just hide him forever? We've been dating for a while already.
Pretty sure this is the real deal, and we're going to be together for a very long time.
Are you super tight with your family or have you moved out?
Prob gonna have to keep on down low if that's the case. Stick up for yourself and bf if your family finds out. Cut them out if you need to.
Love yourself and your man. Fuck that shit. If it's the real deal. Let love take you guys to where you need to go.
It's really unfortunate, and super shitty to think of, but you're going to eventually have to consider who to choose to stick with, your boyfriend or your family, mostly because your family is going to put you in that fucking horrible position. If you've been dating for a while--and if you're serious, this is important--then strongly think of when and how you'll reveal your boyfriend to your family. Because you can't hide him forever.
I'm sorry it has to be this way. It's unfair. But it is the reality of your situation, so learn how best to adapt to it. Plan ahead, anticipate what the reaction will be, and think on what you can stand to lose.
>>16990389
first of all, congrats for recognising bigotry regardless of its source. However expect that you will run into problems because of it within your ethnicity more often than not. and it won't be limited to your family, minorities have a higher percentage of people believing they are okay to hate any race and it doesnt count as racism.
are you a mostly self sufficient person? or do you still live with/rely on family for any direct assistance?
Gf just told me she doesn't love me anymore, after I asked her for help with my recent depression after I'd been helping her with her depression for more than a year.
How do I cope?
Feel so used.
Want to run away.
>>16990381
>how do i cope
are you sreiously asking this question? seriously? are you really asking that question?
>>16990385
Yeah, like i'm in any state to be logical or eloquent.

Got into both of pic related (undergrad), now I'm trying to decide where to go, leaning towards Brown tho. I've read that placement into banking/consulting is about equal at both, so I'm not too worried about that, but how should I decide where to go?
What state do you live in now?
>>16990339
Commiefornia
I'd probably choose Brown although I can't give you a good reason. The networking miight be a little better in the Northeast. The thing about going to Duke is that you're probably going to have to deal with that "Yankees and Commiefornians suck" bullshit that southerners like to spit out.
Thanks to cunts of B and some futanari bullcrap, i've developed and interest to chicks with dicks. But I know i'm not gay. Like I find sex with chicks beautiful and passionate and or dirty and sexy.
While I find guys fucking gross, like I hold a sfrong hatred for my own gender but i've learned to tolerate it.
Only way I can explain my predicament in a way that makes sense is basically.
> See an ugly bitch
> Makes me angry because shes ugly
> Knows shes easy and desperate
> Fucks ugly bitch rough cause she looks like horse
> Cums in mouth
Now this applies the same way, but because she has a fucking dick. I've never fucked a trap before but I feel pretry damn interested.
Now I don't think i'd ever get fucked by one, but then again i'm into Femdom, it being my number one kink so meh.
Basically, am I a faggot? Should I now consider myself Bi? Or am I just a kinky motherfucket?

Would taking expired painkillers be such a bad idea? Hydrocodone with acetaminophen. Expired a good 5 years ago now. I'm not sure how opiates or Acetaminophen degrade over time, or if either become toxic. Been on some bad pain as of late, I was debating on taking them a few days ago when my prescriptions ran out, these few days have been hell! Google's given mixed replies. I'm still in an unholy amount of pain right now from my surgery 2 weeks ago. Doctor can't renew for some odd reason. No I'm not an addict, actually hate the non-narcotic affects associated with opiates, but this is necessary. All I need to know is, are 5 year past expiration opiates and acetaminophen safe.
Note: these pain killers have acetaminophen in them. I am not asking about two different medications. If I needed just acetaminophen badly enough, ID run to the drug store to get some as they're over the counter.
>>16990210
they say medication doesnt really go bad it just becomes less effecgtive. that being said, 5 years is a bit extreme.
google has the answers you are seekign tho.
>>16990217
Google does not, I have received mixed opinions from supposed pharmacists and I'd say a fair amount said don't and a fair amount said go for it. A fair amount of articles from reputable sources provided similar results. That being said as well, I checked several drug (user) and drug (addiction) forums and there were reports of people taking the same class medication 10+ years after expiration with minimal to no bad reactions. But for all i know they got lucky. Those who overdosed, died etc... Are no longer with us to write their experiences or provide any outlook. Those are die hard users though, recreationally and from an addiction standpoint and they know damn well their life is on the line. I'm just in pain, don't want to be in pain but don't really feel like putting my life in danger.
>>16990217
Although, I will say thanks for your insight and thoughts. Cheers mate.
How to combat romantic loneliness? I've got a lot of friends, male and female, but lately have been just immersing myself in my hobby. It's a social hobby too so I meet new girls and guys regularly but I've lately been yearning for a relationship. I've had a serious long term girlfriend in the past and flings but it seems everyone I meet just wants to hook up or date around. I feel restless and can't really pinpoint what to do.
not sure what to tell you. sounds like you're doing everything right. though its vague so its har to know for sure.
i tend to get my romantic loneliness worked out by fast flings that last a weekend.
>>16990209
I just feel so empty hooking up and am burnt out dating. I was hoping I was doing the right thing by continuing to focus on myself but lately even my own friends seem so alien to me.
>>16990274
still ont sure what to say, cuz its all so vague, you know. i was gonna suggest exploring new friends.
tell me what is this hobby?
What is your most regretful break up?
Why did it happen?
>>16990181
i broke up with a girl cuz i found out she'd been going to the gym with her ex (who i often clashed with). she had been doing this for months and never mentioned that they went together, and often just talked shit about him.
she tried to make it up to me, she did soem weird hand engraved mirror thing, where the mirror is sandblasted with a certain design.
the design was specific to me, and had the quote 'ever have one of those days' which i was famous for saying back then, i intended to give it back to her and say sorry but it wouldnt work out. i accidentally stepped on it the day i was supposed to return it, so gave it to her in pieces. as you can imagine everyone hated me for that.
it was a silly highschool fling, i was moving at the end of the year anyway, so it was no big deal. but i regret not just getting over it. girl was hot.
>>16990189
Oh, that is genuinely upsetting.
I would take the fact that you stepped on it by an accident as an actual, psychological end to the relationship. I dont know, I believe in these things.
>>16990207
maybe. i lived in really tiny military housing so had placed it on the floor by my backpack while i reached for something else, then heard a crack and realized hat i had stepped on it.
either way its not a big deal. it was an art project for school she just happened to use images specific to me.
Oblivious or just over analyzing?
4 days ago a group of 4 of us left the building (2 Other guys and this girl) and were walking and as we were about to go our separate ways she commented about how she was cold, and I had the only coat out of the group.
Note: I have seen her looking at me from a distance, and she has sat near me when a lot of other spots were open.
>>16990146
if you want to make a move, go for it. if you dont, dont.
>>16990155
I am gonna do something soon. Just trying to gauge her interest though, and she seems to be somewhat interested, though not as obvious as others
>>16990146
for sure a missed opportunity.
Wouldn't necessarily say oblivious but have you ever talked with her. Do you know anything about this girl?
It's not too late to take a chance with her. Just pay attention to her next time if that's the case.
Has anyone here had an abortion or been with a gf who had one? Did you regret it?
Yes. No, but it probably marked the downfall of the relationship.
>>16990109
yes and yes. but i probably would have regretted it just as much if i hadnt, because thats also a big life changing thing.
its like trying to decide which hand to chop off. one of them has to go, but i need my right hand for most things. so id choose the left.
might regret that hwen i realize its my masturbation hand.
all that being siad, you have to remember that you CAN have a kid later in life. you cant undo the kid if you decide to keep him
>>16990109
I didn't but I watched my old roommate and his girlfriend freak out and drive down to PP to get one.
Guy was 35, she was 17. It was a chaotic mess. I don't think they regretted it cause less than 5 hours after they did that, they were back to fucking.
Am I wrong to be angry here?
>go to rave with gf
>been dating two weeks since the event, had sex multiple times, hung out all the time during those two weeks
>get detained for being publicly intoxicated
>find out by my own gf last night (she was holding information from me) that while I was in jail she met up with some guy she knew before we were together
>he found her in the crowd, they danced, and she said he felt her up and tried to kiss her
>she said she didn't kiss him or do anything, just went with her friends
>find guys facebook
>some spic named edgar
>she still had him on messenger, last message was the first night of the rave
>basically saying he had a good time
>send a message from her FB telling him she's taken
>he responds with a thumbs up
I'm so fucking upset about this and she expects me to be okay with it. I'm not sure what the fuck I'm supposed to do in this situation since I though she liked me and I like her but this is bullshit.
I'd dump her ASAP.
You hang out with some real classy ladies.
>>16990011
>mfw i dated a spic named edgar who goes to raves
but unless your gf has a penis i dont think its the same one.
that being said
>my gf saw a guy she knew
>he made a move
>she turned him down and went back to friends
>IM SO FUCKING MAD ABOUT THIS
wow what a tool you are
