What are some real arguments against suicide that aren't religious or "you're family will miss you"?
>>16858439
Suiciders make the wrong comparisons and forget life's starting point and how much it took us to get here.
We assign value to things by comparison.
"My life sucks because I see some other people's lives and they way better off."
Why don't on consider comparing to people from the past?
For example, I have a STEM background and I recognize the mathematical geniuses as best of what
makind has.
Gauss, Euler, Newton etc deserved all happiness in the world. Yet my life is much better than theirs, or that of any person tht lived in their times (their king, for example).
I have access to much better food (food in their times SUCKED HARD, they had low variety of it and spices were so damn expensive), I got access to automobiles, clean water at the temperature I want, protection from most illnesses (this is very important), labor rights, internet, movies, music, chocolat, much better women that they had (and smelling way better) etc. God damn, not even toiled paper they had. I also got more free times to spend with my friends, a justice system that is much fairer(and less terrifying, look at their death penalties) than theirs..
Human condition is constantly improving.
Life starts without invitation.The first microorganisms didn't choose to come into existence. Or the animals that came thereafter. In nature, life is immense suffering. Animals are afraid of dying every single day and don't know if they will get any food or water on that day. They are easy targets for predators, parasites and other natural enemies.
Thanks to few exceptionally hardworking geniuses in our history, technology freed us from this hell.

Even if you take just your heritage - think about it. Your grand-gran-grand... father was cavemen with no shelter, no health care, not easy access to water etc.. Imagine his face if he saw you with all this comfort thinking about killing yourself?
Many of your acestors died of trivial diseases, eaten alive by predators or parasites etc.. for their standards, which is 99% of human history, you live in paradise. Now you want to throw that in the garbage because even though you're part of the 1%, you're still jealous of the 0,01%.
Even if you can't find a girlfriend, or a job as good as you want etc.. there are still many good things in life. Appreciate good food, watch good movies, listen to good music.. cheer up on every single pleasure that mankind spend a long time in suffering to offer you. When you envy the top 0,001% don't forget you're in the top 1%.
>>16858439
People's moods, attitudes and world view change constantly. Young people especially aren't really mentally mature till their mid 20s.
Ultimately, the world you see is an image of the real world built by your mind. No two people see anything the same way. Where you see no chance, another person just like you may see a path as clear as day.
Suicide is a permanent solution to what is almost certainly temporary problem.
Has anyone here managed fast food? A manager I'm bros with is most likely leaving after he gets his nurse certification, and it seems like he's training me and building me up to take his place. I know it fucks with your schedule but I'm an 18yo broke-ass college student that needs the money and wouldn't be against the management job experience.
>>16858422
Just like fast food and the food industry in general, it's a pain, but being a manager for a few years is nice on your resume, and it's a helluva lot better than what most people your age are doing.
Is it rude/creepy/odd to leave a note with your number with the check for a waitress at a restaurant?
Rude? No. Creepy? Maybe, if you acted like a spaz or weirdo during service. Odd? Not really, they get it a lot.
Go for it. You've got nothing to lose.
Leaving the number itself is D) none of the above. However it's rude if you've been making her uncomfortable the whole time while getting no clear sign of her interest in return. It's creepy if she in fact gave you a clear sign of being UN-interested but you left your number anyway. It's odd if you didn't say or do anything flirtatious but thought she should somehow still consider calling you anyway.
>>16858424
Its their fucking job to act interested.
You're paying them for their attention and then giving them your number? I'm used to the general autism around here but this is ridiculous.
I'm in college in the U.S. right now, and everyone says that I should tour the world now when I have time and money. Excluding the fact that I really don't have either of those things, the whole idea of traveling seems like a pain for little reward. If you've ever seen An Idiot Abroad, that's basically my take on traveling. But I've never left the U.S., and I'm not one to miss out on things, so why travel?
>>16858393
If you don't like forming your own unique experiences, it doesn't matter. At the end of the day though, when I'm on my death bed, I'd like to be able to look back and say that I made a good effort to explore everything that the world has to offer me. Meeting new people, seeing new things, trying new flavors, understanding that this world is both big and small all at the same time... travel is enriching.
You can't get that from TV or vidya, and living your whole life in one spot just seems awfully bland to me.
Traveling isn't for everyone, and it's fine if you don't want to. Personally I don't like to travel. I'm a homebody. The furthest I like to go is maybe a 2-3 hour drive away. I have traveled before and I just didn't like it much. I always had money to do lots of things and a good itinerary, but it just doesn't do it for me. I love a good fishing trip for the day and that's about it.
People tend to assume that to become cultured you have to travel, and that being cultured is some great quality. While it can be nice it's not necessary. Plus you can be somewhat cultured without having to immerse yourself. I mean I live in a major city so I can experience a lot of cultures here. Especially the food. Yeah it's not exactly the same but it's close enough.
Man I wish I could travel it's my dream personally, different strokes for different folks I guess. I could see how it could be awkward at points, but just me personally I love adventures and exploring. I hear it feels like being In a totally different world in different countries, and I can only imagine it is, different cultures and types of people, different kinds of nature, idk seems interesting to me
Also apparently in asia the tiny girls there see the average White American guy as huge and fucking love it since guys there are p short.
That plus me being /fit/ as fuck, I think I could fuck hella Asian qtsss
Started going to this new gym. Today I went and saw this girl literally my 10/10. We both made eye contact a few times, but I'm not really sure how to approach her. Shes the baseball cap long haired type.
Did I already fuck up by not talking to her today? Any girls/guys have advice?
>>16858384
you don't
start with a greeting called hello. then you introduce yourself try and get her talking and make small talk
Don't try to pick up girls at the gym.
Starting to lose my sanity with my GF, I don't know how to approach this situation
>her bday weekend
>bought her gifts,etc but she wanted to have brunch with me
>get dressed
>fight starts b/c i'm "wearing" inappropriate/disrespectful outfit
>it's dark denim/jacket that I love wearing when I go out
>I'm at a lost for words as to why she is throwing a tantrum over what I have on
>she starts crying and saying how I dont "care" and if I did "care" I would put something nice on.
wtf guys, I was so lost/confused by her actions. It was a simple sunday brunch and a bit chilly (50 degrees). I wore something comfortable.
Is this normal? Do your gf's nag you over what you wear when you go out?
She stormed out of my house just now.
I'd understand her if I wore sweatpants with some beat up sweater. I don't get it.
I called her out on being a spoiled/entitled brat.
I'd leave. Don't tolerate that shit. Unless you'd like to use her for sex or whatever.
It doesn't teach her anything and you will be in an abusive relationship if you don't break it up. From what you've described anyway. Severe overreaction.
That is an insane person.
Two things I'm pretty sure of from this post.
1.Your girlfriend is emotionally unstable.
2. You've been making her feel neglected for awhile.
Its mostly her problem... but you probably had some part of it.
I found myself in a foul predicament. I had a quarrel with one of my buddies. Cut the contact, deleted from social media, we don't talk anymore. Well, I acted foolishly and now I regret it and would like to reconnect with my friend.
I was thinking about adding my exfriend on fb and casually message and ask whether us being buddies is still possible.
That's a one option. Another option is simply leaving matters as they are and deleting contact info and such.
I'm a very proud person and reconnecting sounds reallt tough, especially given that I am the one who begs to be taken back despite the fact that the quarrel wasn't my fault. I don't even know if it's proper given my sex (pic related).
What do you think anons?
Just be the bigger person. You'll be glad you did it
>>16858483
By that you mean reach out or let it go, anon?
>>16858372
You either admit you screwed up openly and honestly, or you stay as you both are.
Pride? Screw your pride.
If your pride is worth more than friendship to you, why are you even having these thoughts?
I loaned one of my old friends from highschool 20 dollars, then another 20, and a 10. So he owes me 50$. He said he would pay me next month and the next. Then it was the next time i seen him, or when he got his paycheck. I have not seen him in a month, but I been staying home mostly. I been messaging him on social networks. He just read what I sent him and he didn't say a thing. What should I do the next time I see him in person to get my money back? I'm gonna see him for sure within a month. I'm also not trying to catch any charges.
Never loan money to friends. Just accept your $50 loss and don't do it again
place emphasis on how it won't be a very good thing if everyone stopped trusting him one day. bring this up often as if you're about to discuss this with mutual friends
How do I get a bitch wet?
Bitches love hoses
>>16858368
Just add water.

I'm 19, been seeing my girlfriend for a month and a half now, tried having sex a couple of times like a week in with a condom but I just flopped after(why I consider myself kind of a virgin), but thought it was just the condom. Now tried it without one and couldn't stay hard, I lose it very fast when I go on top, I put the tip in like twice in and out but then just flopped. What's wrong with me? I lose my hard on within like a few seconds if there's no stimulation, do I need to go to the doctor?
viagra
>>16858381
I'm 19, and I would need a prescription for it or I could get it off the internet but it costs like 4£ per tablet and I'm a student
>>16858390
you asked for advice, I gave it you. Enjoy dying a virgin.
About 8 months ago I (24 m) graduated college and moved to a small island in the Caribbean for work after living in the States my whole life. Despite being here for a while I still feel like I haven't made any friends. I've met people, went out, had fun but never really made true connections and had anyone I feel I can actually relate to and feel a real connection. I dated a girl who I wasn't all that into for 2 months just so I'd have someone to spend time with. It didn't work out as we didn't have a whole lot in common, and honestly I found myself not even enjoying my time spent with her. As much as I try I can't seem to find "my people". In college I was pretty sociable, was in a fraternity, had a good amount of friends both and outside of it. I was never a popular person, but I had close connections with people I enjoyed. I still keep up with some friends with regular phone calls, this is really all that keeping me sane. I feel that i need to have a group of peers that I can relate to to feel happy. Ive thought about giving up on my goal and trying to be happy on my own some days, and some days I am. But after a few days I go back to wanting a human connection. I'm not sure if it's worth sucking it up and spending time around people I don't find particularly interesting to me, or to try to keep embracing being happy on my own until I find someone I am happy with.
Tldr: What are some good ways to go about being happy when you feel like you are alone?
>>16858333
There's no good way.
Start investing more. Help people and expect nothing in return. Spend time in their company even if you feel it's a waste. Introduce them to things they may not even care for, appear enthusiastic about what you enjoy.
You reap what you sow.
>>16858354
Any books or self help PDFs of inspiration?
I've been reading How To Make Friends and Motivate People but I want more.
In a similar situation myself friend.
Just try to find people into the same hobbies as you. Moved to a different state 3 years ago and have made next to know friends, but I've been getting better about it lately. Found my gf through online dating, been together 2.5 years now, we bonded over simple things like smoking, drawing, philosophical discussions, and whatnot, now we've gotten even closer as time has gone one and we can talk about pretty much anything and everything. Don't really have "close" friends other than that, but have made acquaintances through work also into like anime and vidya gaems, and some buddies at the gym whom I talk fitness related stuff to. None of them are close but the gf, but he'll even just having people you can relate to and be kinda friends with is better than having none at all
Any Californians here?
Recently have been given the opportunity to move to LA for business (Australian here)
Want some opinions of the place before I go there.
LA is huge (as in hours end-to-end using motorized transportation), with all the variation you'd expect from such an expansive developed area. There are even slight differences in weather depending on the region of LA you're talking about. Some neighborhoods are grungy and industrial, others feel like a typical wealthy suburbia. Traffic is horrid along the major roadways and housing prices are ludicrous as two fairly universal qualities. Everything else is up for grabs. However that variety itself is a valuable takeaway lesson. If you can afford it, there's a niche to be found for most everyone.
Califag here
Pros:
-You're a drive away from the beach, the mountains, the desert, Vegas, etc, you're close to everything
-Lots of things to do
-If you have money, you will never be bored
Cons:
-You'd better have a lot of money, because it's expensive as all fuck here
-People here tend to be duplicitous and fake
-The traffic...oh gods, the traffic...
>>16858319
I don't live there, but I often travel there for work and fun as a Las Vegan.
There's a ton to do there, and the weather is more or less always incredible. There's gorgeous women, sports if you want them, beaches, and like mentioned, a quick drive to most major activities like skiing, or Vegas, or whatever activity you're into.
But yeah, the biggest issue is the cost of living there, and the shitty traffic. Driving is a chore out there, and movement at the wrong time of day can push a 20 minute drive to an hour or more.
Those are the big ones to me.
Hello. I just broke up with my GF. I found out she was cheating on me with my best friend. Now she's trying to make me feel bad around everyone I know. I would like some help messing with her. I would like to do a data dump, but is that illegal? Could I get in trouble for doing so?
>>16858286
Revenge won't make things better. If you need people to know the truth, be like, "hey, yeah, I trusted both these people and then they snuck off to fuck behind my back, so they can say whatever they want. At least I don't backstab and cheat."
>>16858289
>
>Revenge won't make things better. Yea I guess. I would feel so good though. She just dumped a 5 year relationship in a couple hours without breaking a sweat.
>>16858286
No retard you do nothing. You don't spread rumors, you don't raise your hand to either of them.
They screwed up, they're the assholes. You're clean as a fucking whistle.
That's what you tell anyone who asks.
My gf moved out (she was living with me casually, not officially, but she was always around) and now we're on a "break" and she's deciding whether we'll get back together or not.
Basically i woke up in the middle of the night horny and used her hand to jerk myself off a little bit. I didn't go all the way, I just went back to sleep. She asked me the next day if i did that because apparently she was half awake. I admitted it and now it's all gone to shit.
I feel like what i did was wrong and creepy but i also feel like she's over reacting. I really like her and want her to take me back. I know she has issues with past experiences of being taken advantage of so I understand why she's reacting badly to a degree. But we haven't had a real conversation for 14 days now and i miss her.
Wat do?
>>16858252
Get a girlfriend who isn't so afraid of sexuality that she runs away from you jerking off with her hand. I mean c'mon.
You deserve it. You literally used your gf as a masterbating tool. And she has past experiences too? Just leave her alone.
>>16858252
I wouldn't have done that if I knew she was damaged goods senpaitachi.
Either you be more careful or you find someone who isn't afraid of dicks.
