Obviously you don't give good interview.

It's a skill, like any other, and can be learned, like any other. There are loads of books and websites on How To Shine At Interviews.

>While I love my gf now, my first one was better in every way.

It's normal for you to imagine this even if it's completely untrue. You repress and forget bad memories long term, and you hang onto good ones. As a result, everything seems better the further back you go.

>>16945595
This. If you are currently dating somebody they don't seem THAT awesome sometines because you are so caught upnin everyday life and little arguments. If you could fast forward a few years, and would think back to your current gf i'm sure she would look even better than your ex does now.

Is this a form of emotional cheating?

>>16945565
>Should I confront him

About what? Just date her and let him know you didn't do it to be a dick to him. If he can't handle hit that's not your problem, and he shouldn't make it your problem. He doesn't have a right to her just because he likes her, that's a stupid expectation if he has it.

>>16945571
yes that is true but it would be kinda awkward don't you think?

>>16945575
The awkwardness is really from him being rejected by her, and that's already there anyway.

>>16945520
Wait, did she just meet BOTH of you?

Holy shit how about she's just kind of a super slut?

>>16945539
nah the one she went home with she knew already, hence why she came to his birthday do.

I'm interested in the same girl, waiting for advice.

>>16945509
>>16945509
idk talk to her? It depends. if you see her a lot in class, try getting a seat near her and join in on conversation or talk about the class topics with her.

If its more that you see her a lot in social settings, congrats it's easier, literally just go up shake hands introduce yourself at a good moment, then ask about her course, etc try to get some good conversation going.

Or if you see her rarely but just think you have a spark, honestly f_am you have to steel up your balls and stop her the next time you see her and make up some bullshit like hey do I know you from somewhere, or, hey I like your style, want to grab a drink.

It's just about getting to talk to her desu. That's what matters first off.

>>16945570
Forgot to mention. A smile goes a long way, but don't grin like a mad cat.

Make sure if you're talking to her that you signal interest too - lean in a bit when appropriate, nod and smile to her major points, that sort of thing.

This shit is pretty informal, so the shorter and sweeter you can make it, the better. Basically, because there are tons of these cases every day the judge is just going to want to get through them as fast as possible. Be polite, give her a good reason to erase the ticket, give a quick blurb about how you're a student, "indigent" and that this ticket would produce a "financial hardship" and thank her for taking the time to listen.

For your good reason:

>Section 2B.41 Placement of Parking, Stopping, and Standing Signs
>Spacing of signs should be based on legibility and sign orientation.
>If the zone is unusually long, signs showing a double arrow should be used at intermediate points within the zone.
http://mutcd.fhwa.dot.gov/htm/2003r1/part2/part2b3.htm

Say the only sign was way up the block and not noticeable from the parking spot and it's illegible.

If you can, take a picture of the illegibility of the sign up close (if it's really illegible) and one from where the car was actually parked and submit it with the appeal. The more you can make it look hard to read, the better.

Keep this all to two-four paragraphs, proof-read it like you're serious about this shit, and you should have a decent chance of getting it wiped off.

>>16945700
and I should say you might cite the manual on uniform traffic control devices and that section requiring legibility.

>>16945496

I'm from London, but I totally rekt a parking fine a few months back. It all depends on your photographic evidence and your ability to correlate that evidence with the framework of the letter of the law and guidelines the authority should follow.
Google something like 'getting out of parking fines' and read the advice of 2 or 3 sites. Find all the grounds you can legally use. Then read the specific laws and guidelines and look for anything where the authority hasn't followed it.
Once you've got all those listed, make a proper letter of it, like you're doing an essay. Stick your pictures in and refer to them, quote laws and regulations.
You need to make a bulletproof argument of why the authority was wrong in every way.

I wrote 6 pages, including 4 pictures and stating/referring back to each legal point three times. Fine overturned.

Conversely, I grew up in a middle-class home and have always been very friendly to people. But, between a shitty commute, a very stressful relationship, and managing up in all my meaningful jobs (all this on top of being a Type B), I've become bitter because of all the times people have hurt me (intentionally or not).

I'm not 100% sure yet, but you for sure have to forgive people, and then the part I don't know is, if separating yourself from the people that hurt you and are aggressive like you mentioned will help.

Still hang around with your friends, make your goal to expand that circle. But all the negative, aggressive assholes, you just don't need to be around them - you don't want to become one of them.

>>16945454
I'm guessing you're only like this behind the safety of your keyboard ?

>>16945674
Hey thanks man, I really should learn to forgive myself and others. I just don't know how to open up to new people cause I'm not used to it.
>>16945707
Not really I wish it were the case, in public I often stand by myself and stare at people who make eye contact. I'm somewhat tall (6'1) and go to the gym so that scares most people and they just look the other way.

I guess I do this subconsciously in order to mask my anxiety and get people to avoid me, but do not want to be like this in the future.

I only have antenatal experiences. My flatmate in university used to run a very high quality international relations blog and had an amazing CV. He applied to embassies but just ended up working in Waterstones (and still does years later).

I would try to combine it with something else, like specific domain knowledge or fluency in other languages. Else your competing with people like my girlfriend who's Asian business education has given her fluency in 5 different languages. Well that's my anecdotal stuff anyway.

>>16945447

All my friend doing any kind of "journalism" are working mostly free in the attempt to build a name.

After studies and "istutionalized" courses and work the offers drop drastically and they end up doing local stuff.

Milano here.

>>16945464
That is a good point. With the BU program I do choose an IR specialization, and kind of on the fence between an Asia regional focus, and policy. As far as languages go, that is a concern, though - I don't speak any Asian languages, but I'm fluent in an African language (Wolof, because of my work in Senegal), and I have high intermediate French. But I really don't want to work in Africa anymore, as I've always found Asia more interesting.

>>16945483
What kinds of local things have they wound up doing? I assume by local you mean NYC. I'm okay with going through a name building phase, but I'll need some good jobs and experiences to get me through that period

>basically this

If u provide x-rays i will check them out. Work as dentist in private practice.

>>16945409
I'm not sure ...If I remember rightly I didn't get X-rays, they were filled straight away.

I don't know anymore, I need someone else to look at it from scratch.

>you get upset when your partner is busy and can't talk/hang out
>you get jealous of your partner's friends and other people who get attention from your partner
>it's not uncommon for you to send two texts in a row without getting a reply
>you leave a lot of voicemails
>you act as if a "commitment" has been made before it's been verbally discussed

>>16945381
Well shit, some of these apply to me. I've been like this for about a month. Should I apologize or just drop those habits without bringing it up?

>>16945402
Apologise sincerely and mean it. They will understand.

Use holiday time?
> inb4 American's don't have holidays

>>16945343

I can't answer your question, but I can show solidarity. I got a DUI a little over a week ago.

can I ask what you do? do your employers know already? and you haven't been fired? I'm honestly freaking out about getting hired with this on my record.

>>16945362
Ah, I just started there a month ago so I don't have any benefits yet but I might by the time this all goes through.

>>16945336
hand tattoo?

>>16945353
Yeah. He only has one hand tattooed. Hes got a tree and a dragonfly in memory of important people. I think the main one causing problems is a tattoo of his old friend named Osif because people mistake it for a prison tattoo since it looks like 0517 from a distance. Although he has no criminal records so i figure it wouldnt matter ultimately.

>tattoofags BTFO

Do you know why that kind of "look" is considered a red flag in a job interview? It's not just baseless discrimination. It shows poor judgment, shortsightedness, a willingness to throw out long-term goals in an impulsive moment. I don't know what kind of jobs he's applying for, but I wouldn't trust a guy like that with much responsibility at all. I don't think people understand how fucking hard it is to run a business and keep it all from collapsing. When you bring someone on as an employee and start writing them paychecks every week, you want to KNOW that they'll follow through

Get the tooth extracted. Tooth alignment can be fixed later. Root canals don't always work and will lead to tooth extraction anyway.

When the dentist says "temp. Filing" i suspect one of two things:

1. He removes a part of the inflamed,and still vital pulp, to ease pain. The tooth will in 90% of cases be pain free. You will get a medicine inside the pulp chamber, most prob eugenol on a cotton pellet. This is the standard treatment of pulpittis: inflamed nerve. Works almost evry time. Takes 25 min max.

2. The dentist start the root canal treatment. You get a intracanal medication, and a temp filling, after doing a chemomechanical debridement of the canals. Part two, the actual filling of the root-canals happends no earlyer then 5 days past initial vist, this leaves time for medicament to work, and kill of remaining germs. This is the recommended treatment in cases of an AVITAL tooth. Common problem (10-15%) is "endodontic flair up". Google this.

Tl;dr: do not extract
Dentist can make you pain free
He Will have to do somthing INSIDE the tooth to make sure pain goes away

-dentist

>>16945357

The prognosis of vital root canal treatment is 80-98 %
For a avital tooth, no more then 80%

This is under normal conditions, and with a sufficient seal on top (best: full metal ceramic crown).

In less-then-optimal cases, with bendt roots,oblitirated canals and severe infection: sub-60 %

Check out RSDTyler on YouTube.

>>16945329
Thanks, I'll definitely check the guy out.

For future reference, I am not looking for a dating advice. This happens to me with EVERYBODY. By mentioning dates, I meant to exemplify my what my "closer" contacts have been like. That's about it.

No this is fucking dumb. Find a bed or be patient like normal people.
