What's the site where I can post a sad personal story and ask for donations? I'm about to be homeless and my family and I starve ourselves to make ends meet, but we're still in the red every month and it's caught up to us. We still have medical bills to pay and all kinds of debt. We won't survive long if we end up on the street a third time. Is there something like kickstarter for personal issues? How many are there? Can I do more than one on different sites, or will people be upset about that for some reason? (I'm autistic so I don't know much about how to not make people angry on the internet, there are countless times people have gotten extremely upset at me for things I didn't realize I was doing "wrong.")
Prostitute yourself and your family. There's good money in that.
the forms at your local government office are where you "post" that.

Post your situation in the most tragic saddest way you can. Maybe even add a bit of "embellishment". Make it as...empathy inducing as you can and you and your family will get by...hopefully. Good luck, OP.
Girls with sexual experience, please help.
My ex was my first sexual partner and although I masturbate a lot and I'm a fairly sexual person, it really wasn't all that. I mean I enjoyed pleasuring him but he wasn't big on foreplay and I only came once in all the time we were together. We had sex a lot and my vagina got pretty sore even from a lot of pretty mild sex. I found myself secretly wishing it was just over.
I'm not complaining or anything since I didn't really bring it up with him but I'm just wondering, does it get better once you have more experience or am I just not very sexual in that way? Maybe some people can't enjoy penetrative sex that much?
>>16648151
Is cause u only fuckd him once is why
it gets better if he's better. some dudes never learn though.
>>16648159
Yeah but I mean there isn't much he can do once it's in and we're doing it right? Is it that he didn't turn me on enough and went in too fast? Or maybe sex is just not for me.
How to get a bigger dick?
Honestly, 2 inches hard is not very fun
Can even jack it properly
Not into the pills shit either
OP here, I meant *can't even jack it properly
Bruh damn I feel sorry for you m8.
penis pump or go under the knife.
Are there any people who DON'T smoke weed, but support the legalization of it? If so, why?
>>16647953
I dont want my people to keep on dying.
>>16647953
Yes. I live in WA and I voted in support of it, even though I have no desire to partake. I have been around it enough and done enough research on it to know it's far less harmful than shit that's already legal. It's bringing it a lot of needed tax dollars. Our state is not allocating them in the way I wanted (I want them to go almost entirely to roads and education), but I have hope they will adjust their budgets in coming years to reflect that.
I smoke it very rarely because it makes me anxious. But I have a lot of friends that use it for a multitude of symptoms that would otherwise be treated with shitty drugs with shitty side effects. I'm not okay with people rotting in prison or having their lives fucked up in some other way, over something as insignificant as pot possession. Plus if it were legalized it would be better for the economy, provide jobs, be a lot safer (no risk of it being mixed or "cut") etc etc.
is complete honesty in a relationship really a good thing?
Honesty with yourself, yes. 2 people changes the dynamic.
Focus on happiness, guided by logic. Honesty may fuck things up if you allow it.
>>16647846
Only if you want to feel truly connected to your partner more deeply than you thought was possible for two fully individual human beings
Otherwise no.
>>16647846
That depends on a lot of things. On the whole, yes. But there are certain things were honesty isn't good. If you're trying to justify lying to your partner because full honesty is bad though, I don't think that swings.
Need help
Large group of friends and I are play an assassin game, where we need to kill our targets with a nerf gun within 2 weeks to get to the next round. My target parks in a garage door, how can I block the door or get her to park outside so I can shoot her coming out of the car?
I was thinking garbage cans in front but that might be a bit obvious
>>16647829
Park in the way?
>>16647829
>assassin "game"
see you in the news
>>16647829
Just sit in front of the garage with a gun and a lawn chairs and tell her to come out or you'll wait
Help, /adv/!
I'm a senior with a 3.1 UW GPA (4.0 W) and Georgia Tech is my dream school. Obviously the application is due soon and I don't have enough time to boost my GPA, but is there any way in which I can make up for my GPA? I have a 34 ACT and 800s in SAT Math II and Physics, along with 11 AP Courses in total, a good essay and teacher rec.
I know my GPA might not show it, but I work really hard in STEM classes; I practice college-level mathematics daily, thus ensuring that I literally learn something new everyday.
>TL;DR GaTech = Dream School. Is there any way to make up for my shitty GPA? Any advice/help is much appreciated.
It's a bit too late to make up for GPA but if you did internships or research that would look really good. However, with your stats, you'll probably get in regardless. If you get waitlisted, email the admission officer about how much you love the school.
>>16647803
Thank you so much for the advice! But it's worth noting that I'm OOS (thus increasing the odds).
Also, if I get waitlisted I'll follow your tip, but I'm worried that I might appear rather obsessive/fanatical and clingy to the counselor. I don't want to give off a negative impression.
you'd probably be best off talking to a professional college counselor or at the very least collegeconfidential.
i cant talk to girls. i know we can have good conversations together, my only problem is im too scared to approach them. any advice on overcoming this fear?
Approach all girls. Flirt with all girls, not just the ones you find attractive. Pretty soon you'll realize that they all pretty much act the same, and there's nothing to fear.
Pro tip: treat fat girls like hot girls, hot girls like ugly but smart girls, and ugly girls like sluts. All girls will soon want you.
>>16647819
>can't approach girls, how do i fix it
>simple, just approach girls
Nice advice, fag
>>16647781
What exactly scares you, OP?
>>16647860
Eat shit. OP is afraid of girls because of the age old trope of feeling unworthy. My advice was to approach girls he doesn't give a fuck about.
Sometimes, you just gotta do shit in order to get over the hump. But let's hear your long winded advice, I'm sure you're going to blow all of our minds.
Does xanax fuck you up? My doctor recommended I get a prescription but I heard it melts your brain.
I'm on Zoloft which is similar and have no side effects. It saved my life
>>16647794
Thank you.

How did it
A few months ago I lost my virginity, and with it came my first blowjob.
It was weird. It felt good when she was on my head, but whenever she went deep, it felt like my skin was going to rip if she wasn't going super slow. I was pushing her away the whole time, because while it wasn't hurting, it was a pretty fucking awful feeling, so awful that I shiver a bit whenever I see a webm of a dick being sucked.
I assumed she was just shit at blowjobs because I had no problems with condom sex. But recently as I paid more attention to porn, I started thinking about it again and noticed that the guys can stretch their dick skin a lot more than me. I came to the conclusion that it wasn't her fault and I may have short frenulum. I say that because while my dick doesn't look fucked up like the pictures on google (it looks normal, just can't pull the skin back too much), it makes sense because I also had phimosis ( which I cured by myself by forcing the skin back), and I think these two usually come in pairs.
Is there any way to deal with it without surgery like I did with phimosis? For now I'm doing the same thing (getting hard and carefully stretching it), but it doesn't seem to do anything...
>>16647738
Cut > uncut. Stay mad uncut faggots
>>16647738
>which I cured by myself by forcing the skin back
how
>>16647855
>by forcing the skin back
I was masturbating and accidentally pulled it all the way back
it hurt like a mother fucker but I realized the more I did it the easier it was, and eventually the skin just got elastic enough to behave like a regular dick
The head was very sensitive for a few months, and still is at some extent, but nothing absurd
Hi /adv/
I'm 25. I've been with a great girl for 3 years now. She's wife material. Shes also my first serious girlfriend.
My issue is that I always planned on using my 20s to go and explore the world, go on crazy adventures, fuck random girls, discover myself and all that shit. I was a bit of a loser in my teens and I feel that I kind of wasted that part of my youth by fucking around on the internet.
I've I'm graduating this year and I've received a job offer abroad, a 1 year placement with my dream company. I had dreams of working there, saving up money, and going travelling around the world. Making an exciting life for myself.
My issue is the girlfriend. Should I pack in the adventure for her? Or leave her to go and do my own thing? I'm worried I might not be able to find anther girl as good. But I don't want to live my life in regret and pass up this opportunity.
This is the hardest decision I've ever faced in my life.
What is she doing with her life right now?
>>16647729
You're going to wonder about the road you didn't take for the rest of your life, doesn't matter which one you choose.
Do you want her to be there for the rest of it?
>>16647729
Tell her you want to marry her but she will have to move with out overseas.
If she says no then just leave without her
If she says yes you have your cake and eat it too.
Which version should I read?
This one
This one has better characters.
KJV has more literary value if you're into that but NIV is more accessible/readable.
>be me in late 2014
>some guy randomly messages me
>talk for hours right away, gosh he is amazing
>meet up, everythings cool, he's nice but tells me he's broken up w his girl 3 months ago
>"don't overthink it, i'm over her"
>have a wonderful thing developing for 2 months, everythings cool
>shortly before christmas it's his birthday
>"i got a nice gift for ya, it's 2 tickets for a show to your fav rapper in a city u love"
>his reaction doesn't go as planned
>christmas, i ain't gettin no gifts
>he's away for the holidays, i miss him, he tells me he's gonna be back and i shouldn't stress it
>he comes back, we make love, he calls out another name, tells me it's a girl he's become friends with
>i found out she's 7 years older than him and relatively well known, best friends with celebrities
>me sad af, he starts the whole "i ain't ready for a relationship" bs
>i leave in the morning, we decide to be friends
>he still sends me qt messages, kiss emojis, all kinds of stuff, but starts rarely texting me
>all of a sudden he is away in another city, and posts pictures with that girl
>of course i stalk her page, she posts a ton of pictures with him and yup, he breaks my heart
>i confront him, he tells me he just needs his time off and he'll message me
next time i hear from him was about five months later, tells me he's sorry
we decide to meet up, but that never happens
i always get caught up in my emotions, told him i missed him over again, he tells me he always wanted to see me again. forgot something at his house and he "doesn't want to throw it away"
about 3 months ago i deleted him, blocked him, wished him good luck and told him i didn't wanna continue this bs
i met a new guy and i'm happy af
but why is it so hard for me, he's just that kinda person i thought i belonged with, that i could grow with. we have/had so many things in common and i learnt from him. really he was the first guy i could trust, but he just shattered it.
Hit me with ur opinions /adv/
I'm in a very similar situation and although I know how hard it is to accept, we have to realize that we weren't as important to them as they were to us. All we can do is move on and try to meet someone who returns our feelings.
>>16647756
i know, i know. i feel you. and i can assure you that finding that person will be great. actually,
i'm in a really nice relationship right now with a guy who just fits my personality incredibly well.
he handles me at my worst and i appreciate that to the fullest. we too have a lot in common and he wants to grow with me. he'd never just leave me hanging.
i don't even want to think about my ex, but i always fall back onto it, and then i keep looking at their pics on social media. it pisses me off, but i can't stop it so far, although it's been a year. i really love my boyfriend, but i don't understand my behavior.
would you be interested in texting via skype?
>>16647775
Was in a similar situation, for me it was part morbid curiosity and partly because my ex hurt me badly and after we broke up he ruined his life and mine has been a dream, I know it's immature but it feels like second-hand revenge and it makes me happy.
Bare with me because I'm going to sound like a bit of a dick here.
I have an online friend who I've known for quite a while, we usually speak for several hours a day. Recently I've developed stronger feelings for her but I realised they were getting too intense with very little basis. I was waiting to hear from her and was getting a bit anxious if I didn't. I also felt like sometimes I was bothering her a bit, always replying to her. She is on my mind all the time, I sometimes think about her and smile and every damn thing reminds me of her.
So I decided to immerse myself in work today and not respond to any messages (from anybody). I heard from her a few times and nearly caved but stayed strong and got on with my work. I'm not one to play games but by not waiting for her messages and showing myself I can deal with a day without this person (and also seeing that she was still trying), I feel a lot stronger and it's helping me view the situation a lot more objectively, which is basically that I need to back the fuck off and get back to reality rather than pining for her and worrying about nothing.
Now, my question is - it's getting late on and even though I haven't spoken to her, she's still on my mind and I'm missing her. Should I send a message tonight saying hello and apologising for being busy today or should I hold out until tomorrow?
She might not be around now and I'm a bit worried that if I send a message and she isn't there to reply then I'll just feel as dejected as I have done recently and it'll have been a bit pointless.
Chances are she's been thinking of you all day, and if she's messaging you and being honest then it's likely she's really into you too. Do it, or better still ask her out next time you get a chance. We live once. Trust your feelings, your energies are best served for the best feelings. I don't only mean sex, the whole deal
> online friend
> stronger feelings
Cut them off before it's too late. Online friends are for gaming and chilling, not for emotions.
>>16647824
Thanks man. Already asked her out, that shit is happening very soon. I just felt it was getting a bit intense (on my side) and it wasn't healthy for me to spend as much time thinking about her as I was/am.
I think it might be a bit too late to say anything now anyway. I hope she's not sitting in bed thinking I hate her. I just wanted to prove to myself I could do it, give her a bit of a break from me which would hopefully show if she cares or not.
okay so i recently started to study translation and i'm a bit worried. i speak lithuanian, english, started to learn french and korean as well, i understand a bit of russian and i also had latin this semester.
however, do you think choosing this path is worth it? maybe you know someone that is successful in this profession? how do i make it work so that i don't end up just.. average?
I'm fairly successful I suppose. Whether it's worth it depends on you as a person - can you handle the hours and minimal contact with others? While I love what I do, the isolation is really starting to get to me.
And I don't think it's something you can really study and learn to be really good. You either have a way with words or you don't.
Also a bit of advice, don't try to focus on too many different languages cause to get really good you need to dig deep into the vocabulary. Unless you want to translate fiction alone, you need to have specialist knowledge. Anyone can translate the easy stuff, it's the specific that make a difference.
>>16647663
well yeah i speak really good lithuanian since im a native and im fairly decent in english and i hope i can master french. korean only because i like it and no one here really speaks it so i guess that would be useful in my career as well
do you translate scientific articles of some description or something?
oh and if i ever have to translate on the spot, i get nervous to fuck up. gotta work on that.
>>16647673
If I were you, I'd mainly focus on the English for now and get as much experience as possible cause this is a field you can get better at by doing. There's a lot of English translators so to make it you have to be really good. But of course, another language is always a plus. Korean might be tricky thought unless you really immerse yourself in it.
Yep, scientific articles, manuals, legislature, EU texts, whatever. I like to challenge myself so I'm always willing to try something new and work hard. I try to avoid mechanics though cause I don't feel I have a good enough grasp of it in case the original text happens to be unclear.
Oh and also a word of advice, speed is a factor. That's why I'd focus on English first. The quicker you are the more you can earn. You have to be able to have a pretty heavy work load to make a decent living.
If I could start uni again I'd probably pick something else knowing what I know now. It can get really lonely and sometimes it feels like people in other fields get paid three times as much for less work.
