I have a history degree, and I have been considering moving into CS for a career. It's just that my heart is not in it. History academia is a bad move for a career today; not much money or security.
I was wondering if I should do an int politics master's, maybe PhD, and see what job opportunities exist.
Getting off this ride. 60kg female. Got my hands on the following
780mg dihydrocodeine
690mg nefopam
As well as quite a bit of wine. Is this enough to ensure death and not just brain damage?
>>16949022
It's enough to make everyone bawww over you and hold your hand and tell you they care about you after you get your stomach pumped, if that's what you really want to know.
Obligatory no, don't do it, you have so much to live for blah blah blah
Now to answer your question: no it's probably not enough to guarantee death.
>>16949022
You're gonna want at least thrice that amount.
Can anyone explain to me what they mean by "graph the combined function"?
I know a composite function embeds the range of one function into the domain of another, but earlier they draw a pretty clear line between composite and combined functions: combined being where you "combine" different functions with standard operators,
thanks
Combine the functions, then graph it.
Never heard of combined functions. You just use whatever operator you feel like? Theres something missing here.
combining functions means (f+g)(x) . literally just google and you'll find a khan academy video explaining how to do it.
after i bang a girl i immediately feel like not being with her. like for instance last week i met this girl. took her on a date. then we made out in my car. it got kinda heavy so i took her to my back seat and fucked her. right away when i came i was like. alright im gunna go now. we met up again and same thing without the date. shes like wanna cuddle? and i was like nah and really i dont want to see her again. she wasnt bad or anything i just.. feel like. moving on
ive never been with a girl for longer than like 3 months. and that was in high school. these days my relationships last a month tops
is this bad or is it normal? im 24 years old
major intimacy issues. not normal per se.
Stop fucking girls just because you can, you moron. There's something called self control, try it sometimes.
if its bad then what do i do. we all get horny and its a little better than rubbing one out. but i get this weird hollow feeling especially once a girl is like. so you wanna not just fuck and maybe talk?
>cringe
What's the difference between having "assistant" in your job title and "executive" in your job title?
I applied for an assistant position but the company got in touch offering me an executive position (with no mention of whether the salary is better or worse so I don't know).
In theory; more pay, better position, people work under you, more responsibility and it looks better on your resume.
In practice: Likely just a better word on your resume.
More responsibility, probably better pay, looks much better on a resume
Is there really even a cure for anxiety, or do therapists just train you to act like you don't have symptoms?
What difference does it make whether I'm doing mental exercises and breathing counts or cutting and raping myself if I'm just going to feel just as bad anyway?
I'm being denied something I seriously want and need in life because these people think that I couldn't handle it emotionally and that my anxiety would make me a danger to myself. I don't know if they're right but to be perfectly honest I don't fucking care.
So what I'm asking is if there is a cure for anxiety at all, or should I just pretend to buy into the placebo and learn to hide the symptoms and coping methods better?
They don't check me for cuts or consult my family about it, so any idea they have of my life is self-reported. I can fake a recovery if necessary.
>>16948997
What are they denying you? There's no "cure" but there are treatments that can be helpful. I would not suggest "cutting and raping yourself" but at a certain point, you might need to just ignore the doctor's warnings and live your life if you feel they're being overly cautious
You'll never get it to go away completely, but you can learn to manage the symptoms and work your life around it
>>16949005
A sex change. They agree that I am genuinely transgender, and that the anxiety is a separate issue completely independent of it, but they still feel that I'm too crazy to be allowed to transition.
What's the point of treatment if they're just going to teach you how to hide it better? If it doesn't actually make me feel better, I don't want it.
how do I increase my sex drive as a man? For the past 2 months I've lost all interest in sex, even masturbation is not that enjoyable for me and I ended up breaking it off with a girl because she didn't seem to think I was attracted to her.
What do?
this can have mny causes, try to identify the underlying cause first (be it psychological or physiological) and then find a solution.
In general it's good to boost testosterone by doing (strengt-oriented)sports and eating the right stuff (avoid soy for example) though these are symptom-patches if you don't find the root cause! have you been eating well? sleeping? stress? medication?
>>16948904
Enjoy it. You're finally free.
>>16948918
I think I eat well, sleep as well. I took Zoloft for a week or two and I think that may be the cause, I decided to stop taking the medication.
As for stress I am not sure, I guess I have things to do but I can't say I'm immensely stressed.
I just have significantly lessened interest in sex.
This picture about sums it up. I'd rather watch a Trump rally than have sex to be quite honest.
>>16948923
I feel like I should be upset, but I'm not. Sometimes I masturbate to help me fall asleep but that's about it.
Just going to get to the point.
I had a group lab report I had to do for university. I had been assigned a specific section to complete. I had left it quite late and hadn't really communicated well with other group members but I was still going to do my section without any issues. When I was nearly finished doing my bit very late at night I noticed that the one group member had just completed my section and updated the file with it (it's now 4.30AM and the report is due at 9AM). I understand why he did it, but he should have at least asked me. anyway I feel really bad since he had already done so much work for the report and I really don't know what I should say to him in regards to it.
any advice? I hope that was clear enough
They should have at least contacted you at some point and asked why you hadn't uploaded your section yet. That they didn't suggests to me that you've got a bit of a reputation for unreliability because of some reason or another.
Nonetheless I think you should start by asking why they jumped the gun.
>>16948909
I've never work with any of the people before so they don't know if I'm unreliable or not. I am a bit of a procrastinator but I do always get my work done to a good standard. I don't mind that he did it, it's more that I feel real bad about it and want him to know that I wasn't just not gonna do it and fuck him over
>>16948917
Reputations get around through word of mouth.
Whether or not he knows you did the work, it's more important for you to understand that they assumed you wouldn't. They assumed it so completely that they didn't even bother to ask. I'd like to give you advice in good faith but I can't ignore something that suspicious. That's why the best I can offer is for you to tell him 1) that you were going to do the work and not fuck them over, and 2) that you're put off by their choice to not even reach out to you first.
Let's try another kind of thread today, /adv/
Let's each say one good thing that's happening in our lives, and leave one bit of advice on how we made it happen. Let's be positive.
I had a great job interview today with a life-changing organization in my town that I'd love to be a part of.
Advice: Wait until a good opportunity presents itself. Don't settle for shit when you could have the gold.
>>16948876
I'm 21 and graduate college this quarter. My advice is to do your job :D
I'll be planning the last academic year of my bachelor's degree soon. I made it happen by taking my education seriously and getting my work done.
How can you clean when floss fails? I got a grape seed stuck between two teeth in a such a way that floss doesn't even go in. It's really bothersome.
You use a wooden toothpick or pressurized water like those waterpik dental cleaners, I don't think floss is intended to be used for hard particles, it's more for clearing daily plaque buildup after you brush your teeth which sometimes shoves the plaque between.
Legit, go to your dentist, esp if they're nice they might get it out for free like mine. I had a corn kernel stuck underneath my gum and it hurt like a bitch and she got it out without any pain
These little bastards are amazing.
They slip in between your teeth and they scrub the plaque out like a mini brush. Slip one in between your teeth above the seed, and pull down I guess. Should at least loosen it up.
Or go to your dentist. If you tell them that it's a simple case of something stuck in your gum/teeth, the hygienist might just take care of it for free.
I fell in love with a friend since months. I just wanted to let it fade, but it doesn't. The more I see him the more I love him. I don't know what to do. We'll live in the same apartment in few months. I have few friend, and opening my heart may break our friendship, and i won't handle that. If not, it will make him to refuse to live in the same place as me. Any help welcome.
>inb4 Faggot
>inb4 Kill yourself
>inb4 Faggot
OK so I assume you're a guy. To begin with, is your friend even inclined to date the same sex, and is he aware that you are attracted to and wish to date the same sex?
Even if you aren't necessarily attracted to him, he might just be the kind of person who is unable to share a living space with someone whose sexual proclivities are different to his own for various personal reasons.
>>16948852
No my friend has only date girls. He his very kind to me, a bit shy sometimes, but as i'm really in love, i know many sign of tenderness from him may be not tenderness, just misinterpretation of mine. I try to stay careful with that. I guess you understand what i mean, my point of view of his attitude is totally biaised.
No one know i'm attracted to guys, that's why I'm here. Actually i've never been in love with a guy. I've found boys cute when i was younger, but no love in that.
>he might just be the kind of person who is unable to share a living space with someone whose sexual proclivities are different to his own for various personal reasons.
I'd like to know the answer of this. It'll help me decide whether let time fade my love or just tell him (jump in his arms and kiss him actually).
I think he would gladly share his bed with me even if he now that i'm attracted to guys, but knowing that I love him...
We were friends before I fell in love. I'm really scared my love for him would just kill our friendship, as it will scare him.
I just want to be sure our friendship will be safe before going further with him.
I'm really in doubt for what to do.
>>16948925
Well have you asked him about his opinions on homosexuality in general and what he thinks of homosexual people, and whether he's ever had interest towards the same sex?
I think you should give up on this guy and try to find a different living situation no matter what his answer is, to be honest with you. Even if he is neutral-to-positive about homosexual relationships, it will be very difficult for him to date and bring girls home knowing that you will go into fits of jealousy over it. I don't know if you can deal with that either.
Is it narcissistic or unfair to want your significant other to get in better shape?
Don't get me wrong and I love my girlfriend and she turns me on, but she eats poorly. This is annoying in and of itself, like a lot of people, especially girls, she doesn't even want to try and understand basic nutrition and do's and don'ts.
I mean this in the way that she'll just starve herself when I'm not around, lie about what she's eaten, and try and get by on 600 calories for a day, then the next day or another she'll eat like 2500+ if she has take out or something.
She had a gym membership but basically can't hack it because her food intake is so fucking stupid she doesn't have energy and gets worn out and has weird dizzy turns from even sex sometimes.
Basically is it an asshole thing to do to want her to take better care of her diet? I'd like her to do it for herself but obviously if she does I have way more incentive to support her because deep down I want her to get a better physique and more importantly a nice fat ass.
Or am I just being selfish?
Yes it's narcissistic and unfair to want your significant other to "get in better shape" for the purposes of preening yourself while concern-trolling as opposed to actively recognising and helping someone you love who is in a terrible situation.
From what you have described in terms of binge/denial cycles and having "weird dizzy turns", it sounds like your girlfriend has an eating disorder. Your girlfriend has an eating disorder because she has a personality type that likes to be in control of all the things in her life, and she feels that one or many aspects of her life is spiralling out of control. She is both punishing her body for being unable to be in control, and also controlling a fundamental and basic aspect of her life (eating) to obtain surrogate mental satisfaction out of it.
No matter how much you believe she is "ignorant" and she could "do better", believe me, your girlfriend fucking knows what she is doing and she will resist every attempt at your attempting to take away what she sees as her last means of control in her life.
What your girlfriend needs in terms of support is not the kind you are hoping to get advice on or give to her. You sound like a really toxic presence in her life. Either recognise what it is you are doing and fix it, or dump her before she really drives herself to suicide.
>>16948833
>for the purposes of preening yourself while concern-trolling
what?
>>16948833
Wew lad, I never said she was binge eating to the point that her health was in danger. She's told me she's just too lazy to cook food on a daily basis, and her desire for wanting to be slimmer but not put the work in be it diet wise or exercise wise is her own admitted fault.
Basically I wanted to know if there's a way to push her forward without her getting the wrong idea. Like I said I'm still attracted to her and love her, but she needs a push and I don't know how to go about it.
You basically took what I said to the extreme. I never even said it was a terrible situation, I appreciate the effort but calm your tits senpai. It's not that serious.
I woke this morning and I noticed my lower back hurting but just the sides not the center. The pain is kind of dull and hurts more when i bend. I'm kind of worried it has to do with the kidneys. Has anyone experienced this before?
>>16948813
Could be a kidney infection, yep. Are you prone to UTIs? If it persists you should go to a doc/urologist and ask to pee in a cup.
>>16948847
I had a UTI about 4 years ago after sex.
Could be kidney stones
Enjoy the second worst pain a human can experience w/o drugs.

childbirth is 3rd
Hello. I have Aspergers. How do one deals with immaturity? Those immature young or old people at your job for example. What is done, step-by-step? I lack the proper reaction to others immatureness where i can't be strict, like in a workplace i'm not in a position of power, or in the army(in my country you only serve for 2 hours a day in the instructions).
For example, there is a group of 3 to 4 guys who like to continuously pronounce my name for no reason in ''different voices''. It makes me cringe hard. Those are in the army, with people sometimes fresh from highschool/start of college and sometimes even students. I'm sociable and virtually everyone likes me, probably even those guys. But i don't react to this, i only once looked at one of them and smiled because i just wanted to know who was doing it out of curiosity. That's the only reaction i had.
However, in this situation, and in other childish jokes(like pretending someone is calling me, or doing it with a guy pretending to be me), i simply don't know how to react, and i had this feeling of ''i should have reacted better'', but i can't think of how i should have handled it. I mean, i see no humour in this, i'm terrible at pretending to laugh, they're noisy and annoying (although i don't feel threatened or any major annoyance enough to disturb me a lot). I expect this kind of behavior from a child, not from young adults. So, what do you do once you come in contact with immature/childish people?
Have you tried punching them in the face?
>>16948810
You don't need to "deal" with it. You don't need to respond at all.
>>16949226
I always have violence as a last-ish resort. However, some of those kinds of people are in the military, and i'd rather not commit a military crime around here (assault during lessons/inside the HQ are classified as such).
>>16949271
How so? By outright ignoring(i'm not being ironic, it's an actual question, i'm legitimately an aspie)? Should i retain my then-current facial expression, paying no mind and pretending i'm not listening? When such behaviors happen, they do annoy me a bit.
Fuck these bitches, tell me why they pull this shit:
>meet two girls while walking my dogs
>two younger chicks, one tall and eh one shorter with glasses and thick creamy thighs
>get kik of shorter girl
>text her a little
>meet up at local schools playground about a week later
>basically they're, in short, just fucking with me
>the taller girl has that "awkward sense of humor" that amounts to nothing more than cockblocking
>frustrated I try having patience to see if it could go somewhere
>Text and FaceTime them on and off, they maintain that fucking around vibe
>finally, meet up with them second time, cute girl lied saying she was alone and suddenly cockblock awkward girl was there
>losing patience, next day reveal on accident I think tall girl is annoying
>she agrees but then shittalks me because her friend says nuh-uh he's awkward so I'm like well fuck that bitch
>short girl is now mad at me saying i got too pissed when I can tell Im being fucked with
>finally today we get into convo about the tall girl and I straight up call her a cockblock
>short girl gets offended and says thats when someone blocks you from sex
>I say sort of I was tryna flirt with your ass and you lied about her being there
>she basically says wow why're you being an ass i was just trying to be your friend
>friend
>so I basically say fuck you and block her for wasting my time
This description doesn't really do it justice but why do girls even bother doing this kind of shit? She didn't seem like she was trying to pull some platonic shit, but damn. I didn't even like her, I just wanted to hookup.
you ever heard about attentionwhores?
>>16948787
You did the right thing. Been there, they won't change.
>>16948803
>>16948806
I guess so. But they were 'lol-so-randumb' nerdy and the tall one was, and I kid you not, a massive slut. I wish their personalities switched. The tall one, and she could easily be lying for muh shock value, told me a story the first time I chilled with them that she was in NYC and went over some older black dudes house because he asked if she wanted to drink and then ended up in a threesome or some shit, then got so drunk she puked on the bed and on the dudes, they started yelling at her, and apparently she stabbed the mattress, and they robbed her.
You'd think a girl with stories like that would have equally easy friends but nooooo nerdy chick was one of those "I'm too awkward to live because I say I am" chicks.
Nothing of value was lost but fuck man they KNEW i was trying to flirt with her and decided to fuck with me, that's literally what she said. I cannot fathom the cuntness. I get a decent amount of girls, less since this semester and I never thought I'd have to deal with this kind of shit again hooooly fuck. I just hope I dont see them around town now after telling her off.
I said like, I dont do that friend zone bs i didn't know you guys were too awkward to just be real you fucking special ed weirdos (yes they're in some weird alternative program and nerdy chick literally said she has anger issues) so probably crazy but a damn good fuck
and yes Im mad before you say it. Time is a precious resource and I waste enough of it outside of women pursuits
