I've only recently discovered the joys(lolwut) of 4chan, but i'm encountering a serious problem.
I just can't understand what the fuck is going on.
i mean, ive read the rules , both of 4chan and the internet, and the answer is simple: "LURK MOAR", but i just cant understand the memes and inside jokes.
Help a newfag please!!!

My boyfriend sometimes jokingly (I think) says that he'll kill guys interested in me e.g I told him once a guy asked me out (I rejected him though) and he said "I'll kill him" and another time when I jokingly said some sweet things and after that I said "lol whoops wrong person" and then he said in all caps "WTF WHAT ILL KILL HIM TELL ME WHO THAT GUY IS". He has a history of girls cheating on him. Is this a red flag or could he just be fucking around? He's a really sweet and affectionate guy, not clingy though.

So are you just afraid of talking to him normally or are you actually afraid of him murdering a person you kind of want to fuck at the moment?

Some of my ex-high school teachers and books I've seen (pic related) encourage people to pursue their passions as careers. The books use examples of how this and that person became famous because he pursued his passion. Really, these authors are just cherry-picking for examples - many people who pursued their passions ended up broke. These authors might as well talk about how X won the lottery because that's how unlikely it is.
These people and books also ignore the fact that all jobs are stressful in their own ways and most people end up hating their jobs even if it is related to their passions.
For the books, the authors just write these sorts of books to earn a lot of cash for themselves, but really the material covered in these book are bullshit.

Having the passion for certain things definitely motivates people to go the extra mile to succeed. However, the thing those books fail to address is that one has to be realistic about how far one's dream can go and be prepared to take multiple detours. But of course, the people who buy those self-improvement books want the easy, quick way out rather than, you know, trying hard and working within one's limits to build his or her life.

I believe you do need to follow your passion, but the catch is that you most likely won't know what that passion is until later on. When an 18 year old kid says they want to do music or whatever, that may be their passion right then, but at 28 there's a good chance their true life calling passion is something else. It took them maturing and getting life experience to figure out what they need and want to do.
If you can't decide what's right for you, get some work experience, live a little , meet a lot of people, form a lot of relationships. In time you'll find your knack.
>>
>>16659251
Exactly! These people and books are just propagating bullshit as people's interests change over time and do not stay the same.
And really, all jobs are monotonous. It's not like I have anything else to say.

tl;dr How to not be a bitter cunt?
Dating this dude- he's fun and weird and we get along and laugh a lot. I think he's going through a reinvention phase- Taking cave exploration, kick boxing, intermural sports, music lessons, etc. For some reason this shit annoys me, and I can't put my finger on it. I don't really have any real interests. I love to listen to audiobooks and I am super into standup comedy. Love my job and friends and coworkers. But I don't do "activites." My first instinct is to shit on all of it and roll my eyes, and I don't know why.
Because I don't have any activities of my own?
Is it because I feel like HE thinks he's better than me?
Is it because I think he's better than me?
Does anyone have similar reactions to this kind of stuff?

If that's a reinvention phase then I've been "reinventing" for the last 10 years or so. The core of my lifestyle is to build a list of "been there, done that, got the t-shirt." Novelty is amazing value for little investment.
To be frank I'm not sure your feelings are even worth analyzing. Does it matter that you figure out why you're bitter, as long as you're able to shut the fuck up and just try to keep up with his lifestyle for a change?
>>
>>16664338
Well it'll still bother me- I basically want to figure out why so I stop being annoyed for a completely stupid reason.
I'm not a been there, done that kind of person. I'll try something new, but it's not a burning desire to fulfill these random activities. Maybe I'm just too easily content.
>>
Maybe you feel like he's trying too hard to be original, and that can get annoying, kinda like being around attention-whorey behaviour.

>gf is online on Facebook pretty much all day
>like, really all day
>ask who she talks to in there, since we only talk on WhatsApp
>she sends me a screenshot of her messages
>she doesn't have one active chat, the last message from a guy was from december 30 and she didn't even open it
>that would mean no one on her Facebook wished her a happy new year
>she has over 2.000 friends
>I have 300 friends
>I received at least four messages on New Year
The odds are she's lying to me and deleted some conversations in order to throw it in my face, right?
I mean, it is IMPOSSIBLE that someone with 2000 friends would get NO messages on New Year's eve, more so when it's a woman.

Not really. I have a thousand friends on Facebook I never talk to as well, because we text or use group me. Your relationship isn't going to last long if you worry about stupid shut like this and you never should have asked her who she talks to to begin with.

So somehow my body has decided to lactate for unknown reasons. I'm definitely not pregnant because I'm currently on my period.
Has this ever happened to any other anon?
When I try to research it, google says it's gotta be a pituitary tumor. But a tumor would stop my period?
Kind of worried but mainly weirded out and wondering if this is just something that happens.
I kind of blame some kind of hormones from being near a friends baby. That's kind of all the makes sense to me.
For anyone curious I tried tasting it and it doesn't have a huge amount of taste I'd describe it as tasting like clean skin. It's sticky feeling though, more so than cow milk. Also I can only get droplets out.

Walmart employee here. How do I report another employee for unethical behavior? I mean, my store uses phrases like "zero tolerance policy" and "open doors" but can I really trust them? In retail, no one gives a shit about you. I more or less expect the same treatment from the higherups.
Basically last night, a customer pulled me aside and told a long-winded story. I know all too well the desire for someone to just fucking listen to what I have to say, so, I stopped to listen. Only I was still on the clock and I needed to go clock out for the day. 10 minutes later one of the CSMs makes me ring her up. That didn't seem right. But she, in the past, has been one of those people to keep asking me to work on my time off. Or, asking when I start. Or, asking when I'm in next. But I rung her up quickly because she was my fucking manager, not just anyone else.
Those I could handle, but, then I had another employee (a fellow cashier) come up to my lane. My light was off. She was forcing me to ring her up as well.
>"But [my name] I work here!"
>"It's my lunch break!"
>"[my name]!!!"
>"Please"
She wasn't being nice about it either. I told her that I was closed and my light was off. I would've helped her if she wasn't having such mean and forceful tones. But it was already the end of a bad day. Just one unfortunate event after another and I was very worn down and pissed off. I should've walked away but I didn't. Grabbed the frozen meal out of her hands, adamantly said $2.50, yanked the money away from her and put it in the till. She fucking forced me but I shouldn't have done it.
Ethical/unethical? What should my course of action be?

Imo, it's neither ethical or unethical... Just rude. In that situation I would have probably just told her in a firm but fair way that "I'm not on shift anymore" if she persisted i would simply say "no" and shut down my register ignoring her until she went away.
Maybe saying no is hard for you, you should try standing by it. Without integrity in this, you will be a walkover
>>
>>16663380
If you've punched out, don't work.
If you're punched in, work, take the half hour, then go back to work.
It's not legal to make you work off the clock and walmart has a long and detailed history of making people do it.
>>
>>16663396
I can say no but it's hard for me to stand with that decision when people are being mean to me. You can't exactly cuss out or snap at others in retail. If I could speak my mind, I would've.
I have all I need to "gain integrity". So how do I start? How do I be firm like you said? It's something I've always had trouble learning how to do

Fellow ESLfag from Germany here. How can I learn to speak with an American accent like Heidi Klum (pic related)? I watched this TV show with her a while ago and her English is so good I couldn't tell she's not American.

Mimic how americans talk. Adjust your voice or w/e. Ace ESL and then keep practicing.
>>
personally I think her English sounds totally fluent but her accent is still there
definitely try make sure you listen a lot to native speakers and not only German speakers speaking English if you care about sounding native. I think with foreign languages, youll always have an accent to some extent and honestly unless it's really heavy, it doesn't matter. heidi klum can express her ideas clearly - the accent is a non issue

What's a nice, nonthreatening or unimposing gift for a coworker who I like for Valentine's day? If there is such a thing as an innocent gift for Valentine's day.
She'd also be the only person who I'd get a gift for at the office, so I'm not sure how to go about it.

So I don't understand this guy at all, so maybe you could help me out?
So let me describe my friend's behaviors
>Easily angered
>Nice intentions but always comes out wrong
>Always hates being left out. Will bitch and moan about it, but always says he's joking
>Takes everything personally
>Found out through mutual friend one early morning that he feels like I'm replacing him in the friend group
Essentially they guy has no self esteem
Okay with that out of the way. Let me elaborate on how he hates being left out. I can go to a restaurant for ONE evening without the guy, he can even be at work or busy, but he'll get upset that we went without him. I'm the only one who calls him out on it, how childish he acts. I'm going to be hiking across the Midwest this summer with my best friend (Not him). The friend in question loves to hike, but because of lack of room, and him not always being the best travel partner, we're going without him, and NOT telling him about it until the day of. If I tell him before, he will moan about it and probably not talk to us for quite a while.
The kicker is, while he complains about being left out, even in the SMALLEST of occasions, he'll kick his feet around. But he never invites everyone to every occasion, and essentially says "Eh, fuck them" like it's nothing.

This sounds a lot like BPD or just a very dependent personality. Try to get him help.

>He makes his feelings known that he feels like you're replacing him
>You basically say he's a prick and tell him to fuck off
Oh gee I wonder why he's mad hmm let me ponder this for a few weeks

>Enter me, at the time when all our friends started meeting each other. Most of his friends were originally mine, except for two, the ones he hangs out with most.
>Other than one on one hanging out with my best friend, he gets invited to all the shit
>I was told from my best friend that the guy feels I'm replacing him, and he feels his friends like me more
>I'm basically saying it's not the end of the world if he doesn't get invited to the occasional dinner or hiking trip
Nice b8 though
