I made a thread a couple of days ago where I discussed my desire of experiencing the military life style.
With my 22 years of Age, I am on my way to finish an Engineering career.
However, I've had this idea on my brain of experiencing this type of life for at least once in my life.
Whatever place I decide to go, the thought of it scares me. I've always lived a comfortable simple life, sorrounded by my mother and sister, pretty much alone and without anything else to do but to study.
Other than that, thinking about going far away or losing my life also makes me feel worried.
So, is it too late for me? is there hope for my type?

Its perfectly normal to be nervous about military service, especially if you're life was relatively boring beforehand. Unless you pick some kinda combat role, you're not really in too much danger. But if you pick combat engineer you get to blow up bridges and drink and bunch of cheap beer, though most branches have plenty of other engineering jobs. Heck I'm 23, with a similar nerdy/boring background and I'm leaving for basic in about a couple months, so its definitely not too late for you.

Don't look for girls. Look for a social circle. Hang out with co-workers, meet their friends and their friends' friends. Develop a general social life. Somewhere among them will be girls.

Hey gurl, you want to go to a bar/drink something this weekend?
Hey gurl, watcha doin this weekend/the next days? You wanna do something like an activity or get a drink?
Hey gurl, would you like to go out with me? Nice. I heard that this bar/pub blah blah we could go there.
Hey gurl, you like music? What music? Nice. There's that group in that bar and we could go there.

Basically everything you could do alone. You can tell her, that you don't want to go alone and would like to go there with her. Honest communication, empathy and so on.

Hey /adv/
So I got fired today over a poptart.
Yes I know this sounds ridiculous
But hear me out....
So I worked at a factory in Texas that makes excavator and loader buckets, some of these things are fucking gigantic... like 40-50 tons. Anways there's three parts of the factory, one is a loader shop conjoined with an excavator shop, and then there's a small machine shop in a separate building. (On the opposite side of the loader shop)
I mainly spend most of my time in the Loader shop, but a couple days ago there was an occassion where I needed to work in the machine shop on the other side of the building.
I'm a type 1 diabetic and I had left my glucose tablets at the loader shop that day, and I also stayed a couple hours late and was completely unsupervised (Nobody was around to see or hear me if anything were to happen) while working in the machine shop.
At about 4:10 I went into a locker; the locker was standalone and full of tools, and it was unlocked, I had assumed it was a tool crib and not someone's personal locker, so I went in and grabbed the pliers. I noticed a poptart was in the locker, but I ignored it. Then at about 4:20 my bloodsugar dropped extremely low; I was on the verge of having a diabetic seizure, so my first instinct was to go to the locker and grab that poptart and eat it.
Being the person I am, I naturally felt guilty so I left a note "I ate your poptart, I'm sorry, I had a diabetic emergency, I will pay you back"
The next morning I was sent back into that machine shop, the other machinist there immediately started charging me up for going into his locker and invading his personal privacy. This 60 year old man ratted me out to the entire staff and I was sent home that day, before going home I went to walmart and bought a 16 pack of poptarts and brought it back to the machine shop to make up for it.
Well the next day (Today) I was told at the end of my shift that I was being let go for stealing food.

cont.
Note that I had no knowlege or signed any contract acknowleging a zero tolerance policy for food theft. And Y'all can harp on me about being unprepared as a diabetic, but essentially I was terminated for taking immediate action to resolve a life threatening medical issue. Is this worth consulting with a lawyer about; given that I recieved no copy of the employer handbook, signed no zero tolerance policy contract, paid the man back, and owed up to being the one who took the snack? There has to be some type of rights that have been violated for me essentially choosing to not have a seizure in a shop, all by myself (especially since they were fully aware of my medical condition) over someone's food...? Should I be fired for chosing to save my own life?
>>
Tough to say, but you should talk to a lawyer and a doctor about it. If the doc can sign off on the assertion that you'd have died if you hadn't taken the pop-tart, and your employers knew you had diabetes, you might have a case. Or you might not; I'm no lawyer. But you should ask one.
>>
Texas is an at-will employment state, which almost certainly means you're fucked.
Go call a lawyer or two and tell them your story (wont cost you anything), but I'm pretty sure you're fucked. Medical emergency, doesn't matter - employers couldn't give less of shit if you dropped dead. Labor has zero power in this country since unions are more or less non-existent.
Just be glad they didn't go to the police and you're not getting charged with theft and thrown in jail (since it wasn't company property lol)
I need some serious advice
Let me start by saying that I acknowledge the fact that my killing myself I would be being selfish, and a horrible person , and whatnot, but as of late, I've been seriously considering it. Ever since I was ten I've had family issues. My mom kicked my dad out, and it killed me to see the one person I love only once a week, and to see him financially struggling. My mom went batshit insane and she cut off everyone including my half sister who I loved so much and haven't heard from since I was fifteen. I missed both her and my dad every single day. So much so, I'd cry myself to sleep pretty frequently. When I was sixteen my dad passed away, and since then I've had no friends, and I haven't had a conversation with anyone except my teachers. My only brother also abused me physically and mentally. My brother is essentially my mom's idea of a perfect child, he gets perfect grades, he's on varsity football, and so far he's been accepted to three ivy league schools. I have virtually no talents, and I suck at math which has kept my grades lower than they should be, and I applied to seven colleges and I've been rejected by them all. I guess you could say I'm an academic failure, and I really don't want to be poor with a shitty job. I really wanted to major in political science, but that's just a dream now. The only thing that has been keeping me going is that my dad wouldn't want me to die. Part of me died when he did, and as much as I want to make him proud, without him I really don't think I can keep going. I have nothing to live for, nor do I have anyone to live for, thus the reason I feel like it's best that I just kill myself. My family has already made it clear that they wouldn't care. I just don't know why I haven't been able to bring myself to it. I guess would miss little things though, like running, or swimming, and seeing the sun rise or walking on the beach like my dad and I used to. Anyone been in a similar situation, or have advice?

>Has anyone been in a similar situation
I have, and my advice to you about the depression is this. It sucks, and it never really goes away. I think what helps is just to focus on something you really like or something you really want to learn or do. Develop it into a passion, and into something you can talk about. Honestly just having something your passionate about can help you make friends.
>rejected from colleges
Don't worry about it man. You're not stupid. Here's all you've got to do. Just apply to your local community college, and transfer to a bigger university later. It'll help you make friends which help pull you out of that feeling you have right now. I also find girls make better friends than guys just because you can talk to them about things like this. My best friends at uni are all girls.

Help /adv/.
I don't know what to do. I love someone I work with and she loves me but we're both in relationships. She's the most beautiful person I've ever met. She has the most amazing eyes and when she smiles I'm transfixed. We can't be together because we feel guilty about leaving our current relationships (especially her). She's quite a bit younger than me. I feel her Friend/s have influenced her in making a "smart" decision to stay in her current relationship.
She looks a little bit like a young Sherilyn Fenn (Pic).
I love her so much.

take the initiative and dump your current girlfriend
life's too short to stay unsatisfied and in this case regretful. if you liked your current gf more you'd forget this other girl
My boyfriend's depression is at a low point. He's visiting me from university (he lives 2 hours away, visits on weekends) and all he's done since his arrival is lie in bed curled into a ball. He barely responds to me and he doesn't seem to want any interaction. It's frustrating because he claims nothing is wrong but clearly he's depressed. On one hand I know the depression is out of his control but I feel like him ignoring me disrespectful, for lack of a better work.
Not sure what to do. How does /adv/ deal with the crippling depressed?

bone him
if you cant outright bone then ask what's wrong and seduce him into boning
if you cant seduce after asking what's wrong then... no, you can seduce him, it's not hard (yet IYKWIM)
>>
>>16773635
Just be there
offer him tea, food if you make it, ask him if he wants to watch a movie with you, just make no pressure offers
just be there
and try not to be too offended, I know it is hard not to
>>
I think he's being very selfish. If he was feeling shitty he shouldn't have come to visit you. By travelling two hours to see you and then acting all depressed, he's wasting his time and yours. He is not giving you any respect by doing this. He should realise that this is not how you want to spend your limited time together, yet he still chooses to do it.
If he actually wanted to see you and talk about his problems, that would be fine. But acting like this is not acceptable. I would be tough with him and say that he should either talk with you, or go back home because there's no point him being there and bringing both of you down.

Hey /adv/ this girl wants to give me head. She's 19 and goes to college. She hooked up with 2 guys before (her exs) and gave a blow job to a guy last month. My question is should I take the offer? She told me she got tested and is clean. I'm a virgin and she's willing to put up with me. So should I go for it or stay away from her. I'm also 18 years old and a male obviously. Thanks guys

If you did all that shit they'd tell you to grow up.
Peoples are assholes always looking for someone to be the bad guy they can pin the blame on.
So my question is; why fuckin' bother?
Fuck friendships. Do whatever you want or whatever requires minimal effort and don't give a fuck about people because most of them are lost causes anyway.
>>
well if you're posting here you're not trying hard enough to change
really, you're contested about whether you should put effort into not being genuine or just make new friends. for which i give you a new alternative, which is to make a new genuine that incorporates both serious and social. for this, just put effort into being approachable when you want to be social and continue being a prude otherwise. pretty easy

So my English teacher started saying "hi anon" in the halls a lot lately, like a week ago. Sometimes she says "hey buddy" She also calls on me in class a lot, about 2-3 times in a 35-40 minute period. She is 40-55 years old. Anyone know what's happening?

What do you do when having a crush on someone is depressing you?
I already am depressed enough before, and now this snuck up on me. It kind of made me realize I don't even really want to be in a relationship because I'm a terrible girlfriend, and I think I'm scared of commitment.
But I have a huge crush on someone at work and I like talking to him a lot. I always want to just ignore him but he usually comes up and talks to me anyway . I've talked to him on Facebook a few times too, and there's some nights where I want to send him a message asking like so how are you doing but fuck no I shouldn't. I sometimes have a feeling he likes me too but there's no way actually
I need this to die, he mostly works days, should I just request to work at night?

I got really, really fucking mad at her. I mean, Jesus, I haven't gotten this mad in a while. I've been talking to other chicks as well, but I've made that clear to her, and I've been asking her out for a long time. Then the guy does it TODAY and they have a date IN A FEW DAYS. I told her the moment she goes there I won't talk to her anymore 'cause that's bullshit.
Is there any way in which my anger is not justified here?
