Already posted this on /g, they told me I should post it here for better advice.

Part 1:

First off, sorry for my bad english.
Second, I thought about posting this on /b, but all I'd get there was probably an "OP is a faggot", and right now I have no desire for kiddie shit like that.

I am a programmer from Germany, mid-20s. Never seen an university/college from the inside, I taught myself everything I wanted to know. Over the course of the last past years I have learned how to use Linux, Gentoo specifically. I can compile kernels, I can compile custom software, I mainly code in C (more on that later), but I know jackshit about mathematics.

Whenever I look up news about IT-related topics I fall into a depression, because there are so many people who seem to be way more productive and knowledgeable than I am. And then, there are so many people who know nothing about computers at all. It's like I am directly in the middle, too dumb for being "good", too good for being "normal".

C is my language of choice. I first learned C++ at the very beginning of my "career" (when I was 16), but it always was overly complicated, the standard library rarely provided my with what I needed (same thing with C, though), and compiling larger projects takes for-ever. And templates are just a clusterfuck beyond measure.
I took a glance on Java some time ago, but it contradicted everything that I have learned to value in C - like the zero-copy concept. In Java and C++ people just don't seem to care about proper memory management - but that's another story.

Part 2:

I also don't have a job in IT. I have been trying to get some freelancer jobs here in Germany, but there are rarely companies who want to have something programmed/designed by a C-freelancer guy.
In Germany you can take a so-called "job training" in which you partake for three years. I have done so for "application programming", but my training was more centered on practical education (administration of servers, programming of productive interfaces and so on - never focused on theory). Also, this training was what basically pushed me deep into my current depressive state, which might explain my inferior complexes from which I am suffering.

And whenever I met another programmer, I feel utterly insecure, because I haven't "properly" studied programming, while these guys did. They also have a lot of confidence - which is strange, because the moment they write down some code I usually can find something that they did wrong. Then again, maybe I am just overcompensating for my lack of confidence.

Going back to school is not an option. I hate school. I literally hate it. Even several years after I last visited the regular school I sometimes have nightmares from it. My only choice would be to learn stuff in my free time - school is out of question.

Does anyone of you have to deal with the same situation?

People with penises: what do you normally do with your PC muscle during masturbation or sex?

Supposedly the PC or Pubococcygeus muscle is the one you would use if you had to stop peeing mid-flow. DESU I'm pretty sure I can't tell it apart from a lot of the other muscles in the pelvic floor area so tell me about those too if it seems important.

What do you normal males normally do with your normal muscles during sex or masturbation? Is it tensed or relaxed or does it do both in a complex pattern?

I'm not looking to hear what tantric masters or sex gods do with their finely honed parts (rules out 90% of you, sorry). I just want to hear what the range of standard practice is, because I'm worried I might have been doing something non-standard.

When I masterbate but feel like I'm gonna pee, I cum anyways. Only a little pee comes out. That muscle usually stops it during orgasm anyway.
>>
I think the same muscle used to stop pee is also used to stop semen, which I contract right before I cum to try to hold back my ejaculation. Every second I hold it in means a bigger orgasm.
>>
Yeah, I think? Makes me cum faster than just jerking my cock. I didn't use it much when I first started having sex (took me 2 hours to cum) because I thought women liked getting fucked for hours. Turns out I take too long so when I use that muscle for sex, I cum fast.

>Supposedly the PC or Pubococcygeus muscle is the one you would use if you had to stop peeing mid-flow

Perfect example of what it is, I would have no clue if it wasn't for this.

Question for normies:

Am I a loser if I haven't had sex, let alone kissed a woman in 2.5 years? If I revealed that in a social setting, would others think poorly of me?

It entirely depends if you're in the company of judgemental assholes or not.
>>
>>16784328
This.

I wouldn't say that, though. Absolutely nothing good can come out of it. After a certain age people stop asking you that anyway
>>
That depends. If you've been mourning a deceased loved one, certainly not. Likewise if you've been recovering from some severe trauma. If you've had other things on your mind, that's fine too.

If you're so scared of rejection that you refuse to approach women, well, that's another matter. But this is also fixable.

>If I revealed that in a social setting, would others think poorly of me?
Yes, but that's less because of your (lack of) sexual escapades, and more because it's not really appropriate to bring up in most social settings. That's a personal thing, best shared with a partner or a doctor. Or did you have some particular setting in mind?

Then no, because from my understanding you would be more likely to attempt to start some type of debate. It's just not good for either of you. If you're really having a tough time getting a place by all means go for it, but never bring politics into your daily life.

My parents are crazy - how do I deal with this?

I'm the oldest of 3 bros. Always was the best in school, respectful growing up and well-liked. Close with middle brother who's near my age, but youngest is a rude dipshit. He's received blatant preferential treatment his entire life, and it has ruined his personality.

They've always treated me like a baby, even though I'm mid-20s and finishing fucking law school in a few months. When I got my first GF, in fucking college, parents went apeshit. I maintained near-perfect grades, never got in trouble, but they still went crazy (lived in same town). Installed a GPS on my phone, followed me around on weekends, hired friends to spy on me, monitored if I bought alcohol, monitored finances to not let me pay for anything that could be for her.

They still keep up the same shit now. Refer to my current GF (really hot, now pharmacist) by "Bitch" instead of her name. Call her racist names (she's the same race we are). Make up stories about how her family is crazy (they've never met them or known them). Even wrote threatened to write letters to her family. Still drive 100+ miles to show up at my apt unannounced to crash us and verbally berate us.

My little shit brother - who has gotten everything he wants his entire life - is 17 and in a "long-distance" relationship with some little shit HS girl. They love her - she's over at their house weekly, they fucking buy HER shit, and they let him sleep over at her house. He came home with an STD and they never even gave him an ounce of shit for it. She's legitimately ruining his grades and dragging him down, yet they don't give a shit.

What can I do to make them see this hypocrisy? I don't want to ruin the relationship with my family, but this is insanity. Even coming home to visit, mom puts limits on me taking showers too long (little bro took a 45 minute shower other day), going out too late etc. Do I just accept that I'll never be close tot them? They're great besides this.

The contradictory ways in which they treat you and your younger brothers is unfortunately pretty typical shit, and while it might improve it will probably never go away.

However, the way you describe their treatment of your girlfriend is way over the line, and sounds childish at best. Put your foot down and tell them that you will absolutely not tolerate them talking about the woman that you love that way, and once you finish school, let them know that they are not permitted to show up at your home uninvited. Remember that regardless of their status as your parents, you are a legal adult - they are no more "allowed" to harass you than an unhinged neighbor is.

Might cause a shitstorm, but your long-term mental health (and the health of your relationship) is something that you and they should be more concerned about.

It seems your relationship with your family is already ruined anon.

>>16784259

Yeah it's horrendous.

They literally are talking about which Valentine's Day gift to buy and send to his little shit GF. Of course the little douche (who has no concept of money whatsoever - never had to get a job unlike the rest of us) pulls up some $50 Amazon Teddy Bear bullshit. "What, come on, it's only $50! Geez" - and I can hear them crack and say okay sure. Is going to go spend the night with her and her family on some trip over that weekend too.

Meanwhile, they caught a box of condoms in my apt a couple years ago and went i-n-s-a-n-e, threatening to disown me and making me feel like trash for a week. And yes I'm strongly considering proposing when I graduate, so this is really pissing me off that I'm still treated like a child and belittled daily. They completely deny any mistreatment and throw a bitch fit when called out on this.

Can't wait till I'm making my own money and out of here. Still, it will kill me to never be close to them over this shit. But I feel like if I let them win, they'll just do it again with my next GF for some arbitrary reason.

It's not.

Well we had a joke among our friends when we were teenagers
"Are u gay?"
"No"
"How are you so sure did you try it?"
One day one of them said(not seriously ofc)
"Yeah ive tried it and i didnt like it"

But i guess thats the whole point, if you want to be gay you should like gay sex, thats all, nothing will make you gay except fucking other men
>>
Nope take it from someone who tried. I don't have to describe it but beyond friends with a man for someone who is hetero just feels like theres a big void, like it is fake and feels very mechanical.
Meanwhile sex and relationships with a female has all this intense lust, feelings, electricity that makes you want to get on a roof and scream.

I know how you feel though OP, life would have been so much easier if I was gay.

An alpha hydroxy acid product (like one with glycolic acid) to keep them from filling with gunk, then moisturizer and drinking lots of water to keep your skin plump. Plenty of sleep too.

What is the point of living if life is inherently meaningless? Even if one creates a meaning, once one dies that meaning will be gone and won't mean anything anymore. Why bother living?

The impact you have on others' lives and the things you create can live on after you. In many ancient buildings and cathedrals, one can marvel today at the works of create masons and carpenters who have been dead for centuries.

>>16784203
I see your point. But even then you won't be alive to take any pride or notice in the effect your accomplishments will have on the future. And once the universe inevitably dies, nothing will ever remember you or the work you did.

Have you experienced life? Have you done everything worth doing? Have a six pack? Fucked an 50 year old? Seen the Tian Shan? Partied in Moscow?

Didn't think so. There really is no point to life but to challenge your intelligence and experience it

I'm a high school senior aspiring to be a pilot for the military. They require you to have a degree before enlisting, so I am going to head to college first. What major is best for this kind of direction? I was thinking about Aeronautical Engineering, but I'm not sure if I'm smart enough fro that. What's a good fall-back major to get if I cant keep up with engineering? Also, how smart do you have to be to become a pilot?

URGENT

My Girlfriend's friend tried (and failed) to kill himself because he sucks at what he does in school (trumpet performance). She is devastated af and she is also a little unstable herself. I am scared she might hurt herself. I use to be very suicidal so I know what this is like. Now I am on the other end and I don't know how to help. She haven't respond to texts and when I visited her she cried and kicked me out. please give advice.

I've been on both sides of this coin. A good friend of mine was suicidal and made an attempt on his life. It's hard on the outside looking in its hard to find the right things to say. You need to give space as hard as it might sound. You can't smother her or she will think you don't trust her not to hurt herself. Stay by her side morally let her know your there for her and that if there's ever anything you can do ANYTHING all she has to do is ask. Make sure she understands that your there and understand she might need space. Tldr you have to be there sometimes from a distance as hard as it might be.

>>16784176
Playing the trumpet is a lot harder than killing yourself. This guy clearly way overestimated his level of competence when he picked a major.

Maybe she said that because she was upset you didn't make a move on her, if it was your birthday it was obviously intended to be a gift or something. You could try to make it up to her. Also don't think that.

Okay so at my job there's this girl I like and I would like to get her something for valentines day. We talk whenever we have the chance but we work in two completely different departments so its hard. I'm not sure if she like me like I like her but thought valentines would be a good day to see. So I was thinking about getting her a rose, one of those cheap little bears holding a heart, a card with a tiny little poem I wrote and leave it on top of her locker at work. A friend who I work with told me not to do a red rose cause that stands for love, and that different colors meant different things. They said I should get yellow cause that means friendship. I looked it up and decided I would go with an orange rose, which means fascination. So my question(s) would be is this a good idea? Is it too much, or too little. This will be my first valentine where I actually did something for a girl. I'm not scared about her knowing how I feel, I'm just scared about the poem. What if she hates it or something. Maybe I'll just omit the poem? Whether I do the poem or not I want the card to express how I feel. Any advice?

My girlfriend's family invited me to come along with them to go skiiing in Valentine's. As awkward as I feel it would be I said sure knowing I would look bad if I said no.

I've met and am on okay terms with her siblings, some cousins and her mother, but her whole extended family is coming along with her aunts and uncles and cousins I've never seen before. Not to mention her dad who's conservative af and thinks she's too young to be dating (she's 18 I'm 19, just a couple months apart).

I'm freaking out guys. How do I not look like a disgusting spaz in front of them and help me keep my dignity? I only need to last those few hours

Two words: man up. Earning respect in this situation requires only giving zero fucks the entire time. Just keep telling yourself that literally nothing they think matters. Whatever else they remember about you, the most important impression they have to get is that you were comfortable and unfazed. You're just there to ski with your girlfriend.
>>
Say as little as possible. Be very laid back and do not try to impress anyone. Try to stay busy skiing.
