So I wanted to apply to this plain clothes loss prevention job. Only problem is I'm a 22 year old male that only weighs about 130 pounds. I have recently started going to the gym to try and get bigger. They're hosting open interviews in a few days and I'm afraid that I am going to be looked at and denied because I'm so fucking skinny. Should I still try? Do you guys see a lot of skinny retail security?

How do I impress upon people that it's important to book flights/hotel rooms/whatever early, before prices go up?
I've got two group trips coming up, and I can't seem to get anyone to commit to buying their plane tickets/hotel rooms, even though they've committed to the trip.
Prices always go up and up and up and I can't get anyone to actually do shit about it, then they all bitch about how expensive it is, if not outright drop out altogether.
It drives me nuts, and everyone is always like "it'll work out, stop worrying," which ends up costing us hundreds of dollars. What can I say to get people moving?

Nothing. It's costing them money, not you. The reason they're not paying right now is because they don't have the money right now, or they're not as committed to the trip as you think they are, and they're giving themselves as much time as possible to get out of it.
>>
>>16912871
Yes, it's costing me money because I have to wait for them to book. We're splitting rooms, car rentals, scheduling flights, etc.
Most of this shit isn't "pay right now" kind of stuff anyways, they just need to get online and type in their credit card information. I've already done all of the planning for everyone and we've agreed to a strategy, but they just won't do it.
It's the same thing, every time. I just can't stand sitting here and watching my money burn away for no good reason.
>>
>>16912863
Don't approach it as a group thing. Go up to one of the people who is like-minded, and tell them
>>hey what do you think about starting to book soon? prices for X are going to skyrocket
If they say OK, then have them help you rally everyone else up. It usually takes more than one person to start getting everything together
DO NOT FRONT THEM THE MONEY. Don't put anything on your card or in your name either for the hotel. If they trash the room, you will be responsible. Trust me it happens

Before you post a question, check here to see if it's already been answered
Keep your questions short and sweet for more answers.
Please no derailing arguments.
And if you have to post chinese cartoons, go with Naruto. Not glopping. Think of the children.
Avoid asking these common questions:
>Do girls/guys like <insert specific look>?
Some do, some don't. Our answers are not going to help you.
>I'm shy and afraid of people/rejection. What do I do?
Think positive, and get over it by practising and exposing yourself to it.
>I like someone. What do I do?
Ask them out.
>How can I tell if someone likes me?
Ask them out.
>Where do I meet girls/guys?
Anywhere outside. Or online.
>Is my body part big/small enough?
>Am I short/tall enough?
Most likely
>Shaven, trimmed or full jungle?
Trimmed. Shaven is for fags, pornstars and faggy pornstars. Full jungle is for gorillas and 80s pornstars. When the shaver hits the hairs just right, these balls sing.
>Someone did something insignificant. What does it mean?
Nothing significant. Stop overthinking it.
Alternative answer: we don't fucking know.
>XYZ happened. Did I fuck it up with this guy/girl?
Maybe, maybe not. We're not in their head, we don't know. No amount of your walls of text will fix that.
>This person did something that hurt my feelings. Why do guys/girls do this?
Because shit people are shit people. It's not a gendered thing
>Would you date a virgin?
As long as they aren't insecure about it. Complexes are a total turn-off.
>Someone has made it abundantly clear they're no longer interested in me. Do I still have a chance?
No
>Where do I go on a first (or subsequent) date?
Pick one or more of the following: coffee, lunch, dinner, drinks, ice cream, movies, zoo, aquarium, museum, art gallery, <activity in your city>
>That one guy who keeps asking about cuddling in platonic friendships
No one wants to cuddle you. Stop asking
>Brandon, frogposters, feelfaces and other robots
Out.

I don't know what to do
I am alone in life, I have 1 best friend (thank god) but she lives back in my home state, my family is shitty so I can't depend on them for anything, emotional support or otherwise.
I moved to a new area for a job over 4 years ago, made decent amount of money, but I'm now planning on going right back home because I've managed to make no real friends or figure this place out.
here are some complicating factors: social anxiety, nothing to do in the west suburbs of "chicagoland", hate going into the city, am a lesbian, don't want to date though because I don't want a relationship just yet and I don't want sex (don't want to call myself asexual either), no gay/lesbian scene within reasonable distance, don't like bars anyway, afraid to meet people online even though apparently it's the only way left to meet people anymore. I drink too much, and I've been alone for so long that I'm afraid I'm too weird to ever connect with people ever again.
I feel like I missed something, like there should be more here, but every pathetic attempt to just get out of my apartment outside of work just results in emptiness. I don't share any of my personal life with my co-workers (I don't want to, they're normal, I'd rather just stay home, play video games, do drugs, shitpost, whatever)
I just think I'd feel way more comfortable at home. easier to find a place I'd like to live at, not everything is concentrated in one hellhole of a city (there's some sort of gay scene/bar always close enough, you can drive and don't have to rely on the train which leaves just after midnight)
I was talking to a therapist for a long time (at least 2 years) but in the end I realized I got nothing out of that (no i'm not going to try again, I've tried others too many times I'm done)

I guess my biggest problem with the potential of meeting people from the internet is I don't trust people. Why are they looking online? are they doing this just to "borrow" money? are they someone trying to dig up dirt on other people? Are they a would be stalker? are they casing me/my joint for a future robbery? I'm super closeted. sure my family knows (that whole thing turned me into persona non grata, real character building experience there) but I don't want an employer knowing, I don't want strangers knowing, yet thats what meeting people online like this is: you reveal this super personal thing about yourself to a total stranger.
and I know what you're going to say, that it's not a big deal anymore and it's 2016 and bla bla. Listen, I don't want someone stalking me, I don't want someone going around saying things about me behind my back, I don't want any things like this happening outside of my control. I don't use facebook because everyone thinks its ok to mix family, friends, and professional life for some reason.
mostly, why the hell would someone who doesn't know me want to talk to me? and nobody goes on these sites (where you can actually filter people for certain criteria) just to find friends, so even if you tell someone you're just looking for friends, they'll still try to rope you into a threesome with them and their boyfriend.
>>
Trust issues can come from many factors, they most usually form in childhood. Professional help can help regarding that (I wonder if there is anything other than therapists?)
The problem is, even if you decide to trust an internet person, or not, that doesn't guarantee somebody won't start randomly stalking you. Just because you decide to not do certain things in order to avoid risk, that still doesn't 100% surely help you evade all problems in the future.
You have to make yourself strong and confident in yourself that even if that kind of problem does arise, you will be ready to face it and solve it.
Then you will be able to better trust others as well.
Also, internet people aren't your only choice, you could try meeting new people through your connections (that one IRL friend or your family)

Social anxiety is shit yes, but there isn't anything you can do but get over it. Yes I know that's harder than it sounds but it's all that can be done, unless you have therapy for it or something.
Start small, go to a store and just say little comments to people, in a non creepy way if you get where I'm coming from.
I don't know how to explain what I mean properly, but hopefully you catch my drift

So I'm awkward. And boring. I know it, and so does everyone else. I only really get passionate about science and Lord knows there aren't too many men let alone women that are happy to talk about that for extended periods of time. I'm 25 and I don't want to be this way though, especially not awkward. I don't even know what it is that I do or do not do that makes me such an awkward person, so I don't know how to fix it. All I know is that I am. Has anyone else been here before and turned it around?

I was pretty autistic in high school and I still feel the ripple effects of cringe and irl memeing from the dumb stuff I did so I guess I can kinda relate.
The big difference is though, that I signed my rights away to Uncle Sam and in return, I've learned a lot about social etiquette and I've been a lot more comfortable around people.
I think the biggest thing that you should focus on though, is that, while I understand that science is your passion, you should hold off on going on about it.
Save it for people that share your passion for science, and for others, you're gonna have to talk in normie tongues. Even if you think you're boring, it's still very possible to be nice and approachable.
People really appreciate it when you ask questions about them, but don't get too intrusive. Start out by being the nice guy and even if you don't care, attempt to give a shit about other people.

My friend and i had the same problem. We were both too sperg for a regular social life. He found the solution before me, however (we were both very passionate about science, the universe is a magnificent super structure. I really don't understand how one could not be) .
It's really simple, it just takes a bit of time and practice on everyday people. Just fake it. Fake confidence, pretend you aren't awkward, this is basically lying to yourself until you believe it. It was effective for both of us.
I understand how it can be awful, but I personally don't think its worth the trouble. The feeling when you find someone you can "connect" with without changing will be somewhat dampened if you try to change. You'll probably find someone m8, I did after all. and I'm a boring, socially inept cuck.
What up /adv/,
Was wondering if anyone could share some insight as to what to do with my 18 yr old cat. She's a 6 lbs maine coon. She doesn't really eat her food anymore, just licks it. She passed a blood test to go under anesthesia for a dental cleaning and extractions but I worry about putting a cat that old and light under anesthesia.
Would the professional dental procedure help her eat more if successful? Or should I just try brushing her teeth and using holistic dental gels and spray?

You're mouth will hurt too much for solid food for a while. Make sure you have stuff like shakes, yogurt, or pudding to eat instead.
Also make sure your orthodontist gives you dental wax!! You stick it over any sharp parts poking into the inside if your mouth.

How do you keep growing yourself as a person? How do you keep striving to do something else, keeping your mind stimulated?
I use to play a lot of computer games, but I've slowed down because of the demand of college. I also slowed down because I've been getting bored of games in general. I feel like I'm in a rut I guess. I want to be more passionate about certain hobbies or ... anything new.
I play guitar, and I really enjoy it, but sometimes I get stuck writing and I sorta just slouch back into my computer. I'll end up browsing for like 2 hours at a time looking at the same pages or threads.
I'm struggling to figure out what I'm looking for advice, but I think I need to know how do you just keep growing as a person when it comes to finding new interests and hobbies.

/adv/, I hate myself. I have a great boyfriend who I don't deserve, and his family is so nice to me and treats me like one of their own, but I'm white as the December snowfall and his entire family is Korean. Every morning I wake up and envy all the Asian girls I see and wish I was as cute as them, because then I would belong, but I don't belong. I'll never fit in with them and I feel like my boyfriend could do so much better and find a nice Korean girl and she would fit right in and they would be happier than he is with me.
tl;dr
>tfw I'll never be a shy, quirky, adorable and hairless Asian girl
>I hate my life
also, how can I make myself look cute like pic related? maybe if I am cute and different in my own way I will fit in better. how can I be cute?

Don't you EVER wish you were an Asian woman. Holy fuck. They are garbage, which is why he's dating you and not another fisheye. You have hit the jackpot by finding the only Korean family in existence to treat anyone kindly, let alone a whitey.

I was involved in a single car accident last night in California as a passenger. Everyone in the car including the driver was under the influence of marijuana but no sobriety test was performed therefore nobody was arrested, but the car was towed with weed and alcohol in the trunk. (We are all under the age of 21) what are the steps to getting the illegal stuff out of the car before the tow company can search it and report it to the bops.

the tow company doesn't search your car

>>16912774
and furthermore, even if the tow company did search your car and report to police, they wouldnt charge anyone with anything, because they can't prove that its you or your friends weed and booze, and the legality of the search is highly contestable at best. charges would get dropped.
tell your friend to stop being a little bitch and go pick up his car

Thanks friend.
