cuz people are different, have different opinions and different motives.

'impossible to have friends in another country' boils down to the definition of friends. you dont see 90% of hte people you have on facebook, but might consider them friends. we have 'online friends'.

international networking is helpful for hopeful travelers. if you know someone who lives in america and want to visit america you might have a nice place to stay.

>>16933468
People you don't see irl are not friends.

>>16933469

my bad. i didnt know that was the universally agreed upon definition of a friend. next time someone makes that mistake, be sure to walk right up to them and say that he must only refer to them as a 'penpal' or a 'facebook friend' as using the word 'friend' to describe their relationship would be fraudulent.

if you dont intend to use the knowledge for anything particular, just for yourself, than learning is literally whatever you want it to.

textbooks are good, you can get them online im sure. i like textbooks cuz unlike a regular book they do have those questions at the end of each segment, and while you dont actually have to write an answer like in homewokr, reading hte questions and thinking about the answer is a godo way to cement it in your brain. i find saying things out loud helps commit to memory more as well.

textbooks tend to be general, so maybe for the first year by a generic history of the world textbook and get through that.

then perhaps highlight your favorite parts of history to study, go online and see what resources oyu have. spend a year on each and every place you wanna learn about. listen to podcasts while you do other stuff to help elarn even more (unfortunately inca and other meso/south american cultures dont have any really good podcasts. found one weird guy who narrated a book on youtube but kinda hard to hear)

i love history, but i dont really like to read, so tried podcasts, but my favorite subject is those south american cultures, and there arent any reallllly indepth podcasts that can tell you every little detail from start to finish. i intend to start books again soon.

also, go to netflix and look for documentaries. go to torrent sites and look for documentaries. get a DVR and record documentaries. buy documentaries. go to youtube and type in history of XX documentary'

and do that. learning is whatever you need it to be mate. philosophy you have less stuff with, books help, but philosophy is largely discussion, so you might want to talk to other people.

also while you cant really be a part of a class you can audit. im not entirely sure what the ins and outs of auditing is, but from what TV tells us, you attend class for free, you just dont get any of the perks like a degree or grades or whatnot. you can just attend lectures i think. not sure hwo REAL that is, but google it and see what local universities / colleges offer.

Watch documentaries and visit museums.

And obviously, Wikipedia is your best friend.

Jumping into lava is pretty bad. Lava is like molten metal so it's really dense. You would just float at the top slowly cooking

ill be your friend and routinely post here if you want [best i can do]

Are you a cute girl?

Why don't you try not drinking for a week.

That should prove things a bit more than the drinking average of a completely random subset of people from different cultural backgrounds.

Drinking alcohol isn't healthy. That is what most doctors will tell you. There are some studies that suggest drinking vine and beer in small doses can be beneficial, but we all know where it ends.

> 4-5 times a week
That is really a lot. I bet you drink alone. Another sign of you getting closer to alcoholism.
> know if I can stop drinking
The first step is realize why are you drinking. Problems? Hidden depression? Bored? Don't know any better way how to spend time?

Some people even says the alcohol is worse drug than cocaine.

I drink 6 or 7 nights a week.

I can stop when I need to, which is how I know I don't have a drinki problem. I stop for a week or two every once in a while.

My problem is that I want to and like to drink. I like my buzz before I sleep. I like something that takes all my fears and stress and flushes it down the toilet,

That's really my problem. It isn't drinking. But it makes me realize that the door is open to me having a serious drinking problem. So I keep that in mind.

But as of now, I don't have a problem.

What about you, Op?

>>16931882
Try ice cubes and see if that does it for you.

>>16931882
use a sharp knife or ideally a razor blade, make sure you cut in areas that will be hidden by clothes

dont cut patterns, just do lines

>>16931882
Easy, just don't. Find a different release, work out, jerk off, do something else. Cutting yourself isn't as great as it seems.

>>16931367
Compound it with alcoholism
That's what I did
24 and I've been high and drunk every day since I was 21

I don't know what the problem is, you're clearly living a good life without it affecting you too much. I take prescribed meds to help me sleep because I have anxiety and have done so for ten years, it's practically the same thing.

how the fuck do people afford these addictions?

one of my neighbours is a smoker, smokes weed everyday, and frequently appears to go out drinking, but she works retail. how the fuck do you pay for all that

I know I'm not supposed to go toward snakes in attack mode, but fuck it. Bite my face.

Honestly it's better than the "I hate women" threads that have plagued this board the past 3 months.

Depending on the "urges" in question.

Usually a prostitute "fixes" these "problems."

>>16936813
I have a gf, so getting sex I'm general is not an issue

>>16936826
Then, what are these "urges" that your girlfriend can't fulfill?

Her initial?

>>16932492
>I failed to talk to her properly today irl.

So basically you are nervous. Normal for people.
> Is this how normal people feel?
Yes.
>Am I doing it right?
If she won't run from you yelling than you are doing it right .-)

Comb your hair strategically to cover thinning areas.
Use shampoo that increases the thickness of your hair.

That's about it, really. Most important thing you can do is not take it seriously.

Grow a personality.

You don't have the skull for a shaved head.

Comb over, faggot.

Teacher here. I can tell which of my students have and have not been spanked, and it flies against what the so-called research shows.

When the opposition brings up their studies, ask for details. Who, where, how much, what were the conditions before during and after, socio-economic settings, controls to the studies, etc. I guarantee they can't answer you because studies done in there humanities and social 'sciences' are largely not scientific and are tailored to fit predetermined conclusion and agenda

>>16932516
thanks! that's a big help... do you know some studies that are pro corporal punishment? so we could at least face their studies with our own studies

>>16932510
Quite a few studies have been done on this. They seem to indicate that spanking produces good workers, but poor managers.

most blatantly sexy I use:
>I try to keep them anonymous
>no famous models
>no faces / 'eye contact'

>makes it more artistic
>less 'hurtful' to females, no direct comparisons (apparently not?)

i was always offput by sexy wallpapers when I see them on my friends computers. It's like, do you really have to use sexy women as decoration? Are we teenagers?
>>16930867
None of these stipulations change anything for me.

Picking up girls at bars and clubs isn't going to change your loneliness.

Yeah maybe but then again I would no longer be a >kv cuck.

>>16934953
>mustard up

why would you do that?

>>16935932

What the hell is the point of this?

I don't know if you are trying to get her jealous or trying to mind fuck her lol. I suggest don't do it.
