I'm currently passing tests and entry exams for two jobs. If I can get either it'll be fine, but in the event that I get offered both, which one should I go for?

My options are:

>Train conductor
>Prison guard

They roughly have the same salary but maybe more bonuses with the train gig although it has hours that are all over the place whereas the prison job might be a steadier shift.

Which one would you go for?

Train conductor, obviously. There's a reason prison guards have such a high turnover rate
>>
>>16959522
Thanks for the input.
Let's suppose the prison isn't in the USA but in Europe.
>>
>>16959543

A lot of prisons in Western Europe are letting people go, because of dropping incarceration rates. In the Netherlands alone, they plan to fire 1000 personnel in prisons in the upcoming 5 years.

Go for train conductor.

Guys I've met the perfect girl for me but there is one thing hanging me up... Her number of past sexual partners.

I need peers to be honest with me. For a 19 year old girl, is 18 partners too many? It puts me off a little but I grew up conservative.

>break up with baby mama gf 2 months ago
>start trying to get back together a month ago, because we both want to
>finally get 2 days home alone and ask her to hang and sleep over
>sleeps over the first night but then leaves first thing in the morning.
>comes over for like 3 hours the next day then leaves to hang out with other guy friend, whom is in love with her and she claims to be uncomfortable with, but, i guess not so much if shes going to ditch me for him :/
>i never get to be home alone, and this was a great opportunity for us to spend a lot of time together.

I know im a cuck for trying to get back together and what I should do at this point is obvious. But just how exactly should I go about doing it?

Why the fuck aren't you putting your child first? Your kid should be your biggest priority right now, and all you can think is how to get her back? She doesn't want to be with you, the sooner you realise it, the sooner you can focus on the more important stuff, like your child.

Have an "actually more than a" friend who lives and studies far away. I am a girl and he is an attractive college freshman. There is no point in asking him out, is it?

Nope, long distance relationships never work.

Your doubts are well founded and based in reality. You would ruin whatever you have by trying and failing to make it into a real relationship.
>>
>>16959479
How far, how long until you'll get nearer?
Long distance can work, but usually it does for already established couples that have to temporarily separate for logistical reasons, like jobs or family emergencies.
But that's just a temporary situation.

>Wanting to cuck a man who lives thousands or miles away
We all know you're just gunna get frustrated and go fuck somebody else, or the relationship will fall apart and you'll go fuck somebody else.

Don't be a cunt, OP. Date local.

I thought time would help heal things but nothing has really improved. What do I do to move on and get on with my life? Every time I think about what happened it drags me back into a bout of depression.

Oh I almost forgot to mention that the person she is now dating is someone 3 years her junior from Norway that she has never met. I live in New Zealand so...... Yeah. That doesn't help. Nor does the "it just happened justification she used for basically throwing away our relationship and dating this new person.

I keep looking up Acid Reflux, but all I get is the chronic disease. You know, the shit that you need to change your diet for...

I only get Acid Reflux on rare occasion. Sometimes, while digesting food, stomach acid will flow up my esophagus and up into my throat. I just drink water and wait until it goes away, and it does. And it doesn't come back until some other random time...

I don't think have Acid Reflux Disease, but what is going on here? Is it just indigestion? Or do I actually have this disease? Does this sort of thing just happen to people at random times?

If it's chronic, you usually know. But you can go to an ENT doctor and get an endoscopy and check it out. Prolonged acid reflux can lead to esophageal cancer and some bad things. It's also bad for your vocal cords and shit like that.

I'd advise you seek a professional who can actually examine you instead of asking on 4chan.
>>
Go get it checked & treated ASAP sid best of luck 2 you I have GERD from using Vicodin , being alcoholic , & bulimic

It happens to everyone every once in a while and is somewhat dependent on the diet. Completely normal unless it persists for great lenghts of time.

I need to move and my girlfriend's roommate is moving out, so she suggested I move in. I thought about it for a while and after looking for other places and not finding anything I agreed that maybe it's worth a shot.

The problem is that it recently came out that she was expecting us to be sharing a bed when I was expecting to have her roommate's room.

Now things are a bit awkward since we obviously had different perceptions of the relationship.

Would it be a mistake to move in with her now?

How do you chat up women at parties?
I'm being invited to a birthday party and I either know people directly or know them vaguely from school, and that's all well and good. No particular awkward "omg i dont know anybody"-ness happening.

However: There are a few people I don't know also coming, one in particular showed up to a bar night we were having at the tail end. She's a catch, single, and is basically my new goal to try and make a girlfriend out of.
But I've also never really hooked up or otherwise flirted/gotten numbers/whatever at parties. I mostly show up and am a hoot to drink with. How do I work this right?

The same way you'd talk to a girl anywhere.

"Hi. I'm Anon . . . . I'm a friend of Bill's. What brings you here? . . . . Oh, do you go to the same college as her? How is it? . . . . What's your major? . . . And that will get you a career in what? . . . .Interesting. I'm majoring in X but I have no idea what I'll do with it. I just like the subject. . . . Here, let me get you another drink . . . ."
>>
It also helps to talk about things you like to do or want to do. Everyone knows themselves so it's more interesting to hear about others. This is prime opportunity to talk about yourself.

If she's not interested in what you have to say despite you talking what you've done or want to do then there's a compatibility issue then. No problem, just move on to the next "person". It's not just women, it's people in general. You can't get along with everyone.

I wish there was some magical answer but the truth is it just takes TIME. Best bet is to keep busy. Get a new hobby. Try new things. Make new friends. After awhile it'll slowly get better.

Sorry op *hugs*
>>
The birth control thing is a shit excuse. If she loved you, breaking up would be her last option. Not her first. There's so many different BC pills and methods, and it sounds like she hasn't bothered to try any of them. If I was you, I'd use that to help me get over her. No point wasting time on someone who doesn't give a shit.
>>
>>16959278
OP, listen to this poster.
I've been with my girlfriend for nearly half a year and all that time and before that, she's been on birth control pills (we call it "the pill" here) and she keeps finding ways to fall more in love with me.
This girl was probably lying through her teeth about the pill thing, and I think that you can do a lot better than her.
Oil up your bicycle and take it out every day or couple of days, that'll keep your mind off her.

She saw you as a friend, and you never communicated your feelings. That's what went wrong.
>>
>>16959243
Hmm...
I ask her one time what she thought of us. She replied idk. I said I wouldn't be opposed to relationship at all but the distance sort of kills it. She agreed

So yeah, I believe there was attraction from her. In fact, we only met because her friend tapped me on the shoulder, said my friend thinks you're hot and asked for my number!

I panic and worry way too much about my parents and my girlfriend's well-being. Everytime they feel stress or anxiety themselves I freak out inside and then let it out on them unintentionally. How do I not be anxious about them? I just feel scared and helpless when I can't be there for them.

Learn to identify and correct distortions.

Say your girlfriend is upset about something.

Your anxiety addled mind might say,
>Oh no, she's going to feel horrible and what if she hurts herself or cheats on me or does *bad thing*

You need to say,
>No, none of that is going to happen. She may be upset but she will be okay and I will eventually be able to be there for her and it will be enough.

It won't help much at first but the more you do it and recognize when you're over reacting, the less anxious you'll be.

What I'm about to write is true, but very, very difficult for you to accept. But you have to.

No one elected you saviour of the universe. It is not your sole and exclusive job to keep everyone safe, and you are not a failure if sometimes bad things happen.

Your job is to be there for the people you love, to try to protect them within your abilities, and to offer comfort and aid when they're down.

I tried it once. Gave me crazy anxiety and I had a really bad trip. Might have been because I didn't know the thing I was eating had weed in it, though. So maybe I'll try it again some time.

Does any of you fiddle around with QQ Coins?

I think I've made a mistake, I was supposed to use a card but i think i added the coins directly to the QQ account. Now I'm asked for a card number and a code below, and i don't have them.
Is there a way to use this coins?

I was born into a bilingual household, and I grew up learning Spanish and English. However, I quit actually using Spanish in late elementary school, and my study of the language became limited to middle/high school classes.

I still have the grammatical/basic terminological skeleton of the language. How can I go about becoming fully fluent in Spanish, with my current knowledge base? I want to become a freelance interpreter.

Just learn orthogrophy and read novels a lot with a thesaurus on hand.

Speak spanish. Talk to spanish speakers. Do this every single day of your life. Oh, and learn phrases, not words - you'll learn nothing if you decide to learn the word "querer" instead of the phrase "yo quiero <noun>", for example.

I just had a similar issue with japanese and learning how to say phrases was more helpful than the words themselves.
