I've finished highschool recently, and since about 2013 I've had the strong desire to build a gaming PC. In the past week though, I've lost interest in this because:
1. My university degree is going to involve lots of work and study, meaning that I can't play as much games as I have previously
2. I'm starting to lose interest in gaming as a whole; they also make me extremely angry at times
3. The cost of building one (in my country) is pretty damn high, and it would be a waste of money (because I wouldn't play that many games anyway)

The problem is, now I'm starting to feel empty inside. I've been so obsessed over this computer (in my spare time for the past few years I researched parts and stuff), and now I feel like a part of me is missing; now that I'm not going to build one.

I guess my questions are:
1. What can I do about this empty feeling I've got?
2. When I stop playing games for good, what interests could I take up that aren't extremely expensive and are actually useful?

Sorry if this doesn't make much sense, I find it hard trying to word my problem.

As far as the computer goes, this might just be a phase you're going through, or you might just be feeling a bit down and loosing intrest in things for a while. I think you should still build it. It would be a shame to miss out on something you've been looking forward to for so long, and you never know, it might cheer you up a bit. Plus, even if you don't actually play games on it, a powerful pc is never a bad thing to have. No one ever sat at their desk and said "man, I wish this thing took longer to boot up" or "that's a shame, I was really hoping it would crash and loose all my data when I try to open Word and Excel at the same time".

Perhaps go for an interim build, something that will do for now but leaves you with the option to upgrade later if you want to (I just did something similar for my oldest son). Buy the case, psu, and mobo as if you were going to build a top of the line machine. Throw in an i5 4xxx, one 4gb stick of ram, a gtx 750ti, a single 1tb hdd and just use the stock coolers on everything. That'll keep the cost down quite low and give you a reasonable machine for now, and if you decide later on that you want to run an i7 6xxx, a pair of titan z's, 64 gb of ram and three ssd's in raid0 you don't have to start the whole thing over from scratch.

>When I stop playing games for good, what interests could I take up that aren't extremely expensive and are actually useful?
Not all interests have to be useful. Or to put it another way, having fun is useful, because it makes you feel better. Personally I like fishing in my spare time, but it's not for everyone.

My professors were requested to provide the financial aid office with my attendance records from last semester (specifically, the LATEST date I had attended).

The dates they provided resulted in charges to my student account....significant ones.

Problem is, the dates some of them gave are wrong. One said my last day in class was in October, but I have back-and-forth emails between us about assignments and shit from late November. (Stuff I wouldn't even know about had I not been attending.)

The other one said my last day in his class was in early November....but I TOOK THE FINAL EXAM FOR THE CLASS. Y'know, the very LAST thing you FUCKING do in a class.

So, now I owe money...and the icing on the cake: the federal deadline to change the info submitted has passed, so I may not even be able to correct their mistakes and get the debt cleared.

What do? I'm pretty disappoint.

have you talked with the professors? Where are you from?

Just found out that their dates were innacurate earlier yesterday...emailed them about it, no reply yet.

I'm gonna try to get something worked out with the Dept of Education, since finaid at the school can't fix the error. (They're being awesome and helpful though, its just out of their hands.)

I'm in VA.

Professor (not yours) writing here.

If indeed they screwed up (and sometimes we do) they will want very much to set it right.

Do this:

1. Go to the dean of your college. Explain everything, NOT belligerently. Ask for that office's help in getting financial aid to reverse itself or at least delay action until this gets corrected.

2. Go to Financial Aid office with the same request.

3. Contact the professors with your evidence of attendance and ask for a letter admitting the error and correcting it. DO NOT get angry. Just say an eror was made and you need their help correcting it.

4. Bring their letters to Financial Aid and/or the Dean

(Even if federal deadlines have passed, the university may be able to get an extension/correction for you. If not, they will probably feel obligated to give you their own financial aid to cover the problem.)

Believe it or not, no one is out to screw you. Everyone involved has a vested interest in keeping you in school, and if they screwed up, they'll do all they can to fix it.

Dick head

Hey /adv/

What can I do to stop feeling jealous of my former classmates and well off friends?

I studied in a high school with lots of people from extremely affluent families, and Im probably from the poorest one (by a good margin) within my circle of friends.

Most of them never had to raise a finger in thier life to earn anything. Barely passed school, are currently failing at university while I have been killing myself with work in order to get the top grades and run around networking events just to have a chance to get an internship. Meanwhile they have 6 figure entry level jobs waiting for them, or their parents companies that they will inherit. Not even going to mention real estate that their families own.

I know its a toxic feeling, but its just not fair. Why do I have to walk to uni from my shitty dorm, while they drive a corevette from their own apartment in the city. Furthermore they can just flash their money and get girls while I have to control my macros and lift, engage in self improvement, etc? Hell, some of them got liposuction just to avoid exercise and getting on a diet!

Worst part is, I will probably never get to their level of wealth no matter how hard I try while they live off inherited money...

1. You don't need to be top in college, no employer ever asked for your grades. Unless you get hired by a company specifically looking for these.
Stop worrying so much, you're already better than them, take it as a challenge instead. After the college you'll be drowning in money (atleast from your point of view).
2. If i were you, seeing as you're so adamant about getting resources, make a company. When you're grabbing so hard for being the top, i think running a company should be a nice challenge. Do not forget to finish the college tho. gl anon :)
>>
You probably will never stop being jealous of them.

Which can be a good thing actually, come to think of it. Jealousy is a perfectly natural feeling and can be very motivational as long as it's not overwhelming.

Also some bullshit study proved that above 70k a year (I think?) money and happiness aren't correlated anymore. Find yourself somewhere else.

My girlfriend and I are both into light BDSM, but we're not very experienced and I'm afraid we may get injured. What are some good, straightforward books on safe BDSM that we can read?

Notice we don't want a treatise on why kink is fine and we're not mentally ill. We know we're not.

Some recommendations I've found on the net are:

- SM 101
- Screw the roses, give me the thorns
- Learning the ropes
- The new topping/bottoming book

Are those any good?

Help. Please don't judge me, serious replies only. I am fearing...
I fucked up. Some girl on Twitter was asking for domiatrix services. (I like that shit). I sent her a message asking, and she reversed my request and threatened she is going to send our conversation to all of my contacts on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram. She requested £25 to be sent to her email via Amazon Gift card. So I did.
I have the receipts and pictures of our conversation.
I'm stupid that I was using personal accounts, but she has access to my family photos and friends.
What I've done: I've reported it to Twitter. I deactivated my Facebook, blocked my Twitter, and changed all of my legal name on my social media.
Somebody that can help and counsel me, please help!

It's unfortunate, but it's done now. Just use the experience as an important lesson on how to conduct things in the future. "She" probably does this to many people many times everyday, so try not to think that it's you personally that's being targeted.
>>
this is called extortion and you should find out her physical location and notify the police, or your own location - as they should be able to request from twitter her IP/physical location, and then they can notify the local authorities
>>
Dude sounds like you need to stop giving a shit about what your family think of you. So what she leaks the conversation to people you know irl. They find out and what? Stop talking to you? They judge you? For what, being a human being experiencing life for the first time. Just like them. I'm sure if you dig deep enough you'll find some nasty shit in there too. I mean fuck so what you like it when a chick screams unsettling shit at you and kicks you around, Dog bowls are cool I guess, but you're an adult now (I hope) you're entitled to your life. If they only care enough about you to insult you maybe it's best to cut them out. Worse case scenario you're out that 100 bucks they shell out every Christmas they send because they didn't know they could go to a sex store, close their eyes ,spin around and point, and you'd have been happy with what ever was in that neatly wrapped dildo shaped box. Bottom-line people who care stick around no matter what.

Is this bad? I feel bad. I didn't ask for her number but she added me on facebook.

She's not even as hot as my current gf.

Why is it that I'm funny, energetic, full of life, outgoing, and bubbly when around friends and strangers I've no romantic interest in? But when it comes around to the opposite sex, I'm often quiet, sluggish, and barely active?

I've been spending the past fifteen-plus years trying to break this cycle, only to get nowhere or become worse. If I try to see them the same way as friends or coworkers, I'm still as untalkative and listless as often. If I'm not trying to be anything other myself, I still act as silent and distant. Regardless of any mindset I try to put myself in, intentional or no, or despite if I'm just trying to be me, I'm still lethargic and like a statue around the opposite sex. Not only that, my mind goes completely blank when I'm around them. And I can't get myself to formulate a deep thought with a member of the antithetical gender to save my life.

With a friend, I'm cracking jokes or having extensive and detailed conversations with them. With a romantic interest, I'm just reticent, reserved, and like I'm in the early stages of some kind of Romero-esque zombie virus. And I don't think it's shyness, because it doesn't feel anything like other times I've been shy. Just slow and mindless all of a sudden.

Wish I could help OP. I have the opposite problem where I'm shy and reserved around the same sex. Don't even know if I'm gay or not because I can't get anywhere close enough to somebody to see. I'd say there's an 80% chance I am.

I've discovered I'm kinda alright with the thought of fucking a trans girl and I feel a little uneasy about it since I spent most of my life thinking I'd only ever be attracted to cis women

I don't consider it a bad thing but it's like, confusing and stuff. Thoughts/comments/experiences please.
