Is pharmacy technician a solid career choice?
Should I self-study for the CPhT? What are the best books and resources to use?
I'm 24 and have no direction in life, and this seems like a job field I can break into relatively quickly, provided there's actually a need for them and I wouldn't be wasting my time getting certified.
Can anyone please help me out here? Especially anyone who works as/has worked as a pharmacy technician.

It's a starting point. Generally people are pharmacy techs while they're working towards something else. I wouldn't call anything that caps out at $20/h a solid career choice.
>>
>>16613854
Yes, go to school while you do it so you can make more as you get older. My sister is a pharmacist who started out as a tech. She makes extremely good money and loves her job. I'd say go for it bro, just continue your education after at some point.

Well if he plans on living by himself forever its solid in that kind of sense.

This is a bit of a weird subject. But I am asking for some help. I don't know how much I can freak out over this. I just want it to end and don't know what to do.
>was molested as a child, around 9 y/o
>was given sleeping pills by mother's ex when i spent the night at his house with my mom
>passed out on couch
>dazed, woke up to him penetrating me with his fingers
>tried to fight but felt literally drunk, attempted moving limbs and they just flopped around
>tried not to pass out again, but couldn't help it
>dont know when it began or when it stopped
So I browse /b/ occasionally since teen years. I was browsing late at night, was scrolling, and fell upon a dreaded cp thread. One of the pictures in the post (I didn't click in the thread, but you know you can see a few replies on the main page).. Same couch. I remember the pants I was wearing, the shirt I was wearing. Obviously recognized my own face. There was tile and rug on the floor, same as his living room. And it was the same position I was molested in. I caught a glimpse and just opened the image, stared for a couple of seconds, before gagging and tearing up and just shutting down my computer. I knew that child in the photo was me.
I fell upon the image a couple of years ago. But I occasionally get reminded of it and it bothers me to no end. I seriously feel like I can't talk about this to anyone. I don't even know where to begin. I can't bring justice to my abuser anymore. I tried a few times when I was around 18, but complicated family issues (my mom didn't believe me, said she took her ex's side and wouldn't stand up for me if it went to court) forced me to stop. I'm passed the statute of limitations in my state to report
What do I do? I just have to accept the thought that what happened to me is shared on the internet?

Get therapy. They can help you. If you find the photo again, report it. Nail this fucker to the wall.

>>16613809
I had gone to therapy for about 8 years. I had to stop going to the clinic I was at for a couple of years, but I started seeing a new therapist recently. She doesn't know I've been molested yet. We're barely getting to know each other.

Do you expect your gf to give head?
Do you expect your gf to initiate sex?
What frequency?
How upset would you be if she stopped entirely?

Yes
Yes
At least every other day
I'd dump her
>>
Im a rare type of guy, honestly a solid 8/10. not trying to be flexfag though
Id suggest that she doesnt have to but if she insist...
enough to where its awkward as time passes
at first id say weekly or a little more but as time passes less and less
i wouldn't be upset but id wonder why
>>
No head is awful. I wouldn't be in a relationship, god forbid marry, someone who doesn't give head.
GF initiating sex is nice, but not something I've really ever come to expect.
Frequency? If I only see her twice a week, we better be having sex at least once each time.
If she stopped entirely with sex, I would stop entirely with being her boyfriend. If I'm going to be just friends with someone, I'd rather it be another guy.

So, my best friend, whenever we meet IRL we always get along but over text I feel like im texting a hot chick out of my league.
So I text him before the weekend and ask him if he wants to chill, he says maybe. So on the weekend I text him and he doesn't answer, I call a few hours later and he doesn't answer. And then a few more hours later I call him one last time. Still nothing.
Frustrated, I text his mom since we're close and complain and say he's being a cunt (not in those words) she tells me that he's been with her the whole day and hadn't said anything about it.
Later on, at night, he texts me with "hey" and I don't respond since I was sick of his shit. I haven't responded back 10 days later.
Over Christmas I sent his family a card wishing all of them a merry Christmas - dog included - except him. Haven't heard anything back
What am I to do with a friend like this?

Well, personally I think you're being slightly petty.
Sure it's fucking annoying when this happens and I should know because I have to deal with the same thing.
But, you should have included his name on the Xmas card

>>16613760
Why are you being so passive agressive?
This is like 100% your fault now for not being straightforward.
When you have a problem like this- you talk to them about it. "Hey man is everything ok? You take forever to respond and It kinda worries me" then he'll probably be like "oh yeah sorry dude I was just busy and forgot haha" and then you say "ok, please just try to respond to me right when you see my text next time. That's kind of a pet peeve of mine"
Now that he knows this about you, you can actually hold him accountable and have a right to be pissed if he keeps doing it all the time.
by being passive, he won't associate his mistake with you being an asshole. He will just think you're overreacting and being a jerk

Is there a future in the field of automotive repair?
I really like working on cars and want to do it for a living, but I don't want to be struggling to find a job.

There sure is. Get trained and certified.
>>
Perhaps soon more than ever, as fleets of self-driving cars and truck convoys become a reality. The personal ownership of cars might go down but maintenance and repair on the droves of commercial vehicles in constant use will still require human beings.
>>
>>16613754
As long as people are driving cars, there will be a need for folks who can fix them.
It might be worth taking a class at your local community college to see if you like it.

Assuming you're in the market for a 144hz why wouldn't you go for the cheaper and more prestigious BenQ?

I have an Acer laptop that I got for a few hundred pounds. Run great and have never had any problems with the screen or the laptop itself. Use it for everything from playing games, surfing the Web to watching movies. Had it about a year and a half so far and no faults whatsoever

The only comparable 144Hz benQ that I found was 24 inch and I decided I wanted a 27 inch one.

I want people to rely on me for small things so I can feel better about myself and have them see me in a better light but my problem is that I never can get the mindset that doing these small things are worth it in the long run, or I will become the bitch of the group that everyone starts to use for things and i get nothing in return. How can I change my views on this and make my friends rely on me more for things and actually WANT to do it and not feel weird doing it.

I'm becoming a monster /adv/, I fell in love with a girl when I started uni, before uni I was a total shut-in, had no experience with the other sex and have no confidence in myself when I converse with them, she ended up rejecting me, she wasn't nasty about it but it was pretty much "You're a nice guy anon...". I ended up cutting my arms with shaving razors and choked myself in front of a mirror with a cable until I began to feel like I was losing consciousness, it settled after a while and I made myself go to mental health appointments, I'm supposed to be going to proper counselling soon, but I don't think I can wait that long, I ended up talking to a girl that got rejected and was overly clingy to the point everyone takes the piss out of her, it was originally out of sympathy but I'm scared I'm falling for her and don't want to feel the pain again. I ended up losing my shit at home and scared my mother and 10y/o brother when I began cutting my arm and stabbing the sink in front of them, I don't want to do this to them, I don't want my brother growing up with a crazy brother that he idolises for some stupid reason. I don't know what the fuck to do to, one minute I want to find someone, the next I end up hating myself knowing I don't deserve love if I'm this much of a monster to my family for hurting them emotionally. I know I'm overreacting to it all, but it's all too much to bear.

We are not qualified to diagnose here on /adv/, but it sounds like one of your big issues is that you stack problems on top of one another, all at once, rather yhan trying to tackle them one at a time. Eventually the stack gets so big that it overwhelms you, and it all comes crashing down.
I recommend that you practice meditation. Any tradition will do. This is not a long-term fix, ir even a medium-term fix. You will still need professional help to handle the underlying issues. But as an emergency "rescue" procedure, being able to clear your mind and get back to focusing on one thing at a time may help to fend off these attacks of yours. At the very least, it may be enough to get you to your first appointments.
Its 2:30am, im alone and cant sleep. super depressed and want to kill myself. What can I do to get out of this mindset.

>take a melatonin
>listen to sleep hypnosis videos / audio files
>try turning off ALL of the electricity in your house via the circuit box (except for your cell phone which can play the sleep hypnosis, but make sure its across the room)
>if theres too much light outside, try covering your window with towels/blankets/cloths
>try sleeping on the couch
>try sleeping on any other spare furniture you have
>try going for a small walk outside
>try adjusting the heat
>try taking an aspirin (sometimes we dont realize how tense or sore our muscles are when were tryna sleep)

Why is my ability to use /adv/ slowly dying
first I stopped being able to use the quick-reply box ("connection error")
now there are no images so I can't use the catalog
just ban me it would be better than this

Disable Adblock for /adv/ only, close the browser, run a full CClean (35pass clean), restart your modem and PC when done.

>>16613623
4chan is a bug-filled site and something like that happens to everyone. Sometimes just closing your browser and then reopening it and going to 4chan as a "new" person will fix it.
>>
>>16613626
i love you, as soon as I read this I realized the uBlock button said 153 blocked ads on the catalog
so that works again but the quick reply is still fucked despite a browser restart
wtf is 35pass clean? I'm using Firefox on an older iMac (OSX 10.6)

A night or two ago, you all helped me go through with it. My beautiful corgi mix of 10 years died in my arms today. If it wasn't done, he would have had to go through organ failure, and there's no reason to put him through that. Liver cancer is what took him.
I wanted to share some stories, hear some of yours.
His name was Chance. I've had him since the third grade. He's mostly corgi but we think the other part was German Shepherd. He used to be nothing but fluff and ears, most adorable little fuck you'd ever seen. His breath ALWAYS stank like hell. Could never get rid of it, tried everything.
Awhile after getting him, my mother got two aussie shepherd puppies, sisters, with docked tails. Naturally they adored his giant tail and decided it was the greatest toy ever. Ever since then he wouldn't let other dogs near his backside, and would hate it when anyone touched his tail. Would even get grumpy if I tried it. Never knew why, but he also hated it when someone tried to touch or hold his paws. Would get all squirmy and pissy about it. We got a few big snow storms. One time the back deck was so buried he couldn't get over the snowbank that had formed. We had to dig him a trench. The other dogs delighted in sprinting around as quick as they could, and ended up carving more "trenches" in the snow, and he'd be stuck in them like a maze. His giant tail became a periscope because that's all we could see of him out there.
He loathed his collar. Sometime yesterday he shook it loose in the backyard. In a little while I'll probably go looking for it... it's a good way to remember him. If you touched or tugged on his collar at all, he would start doing an alligator death roll, try to toss you, the collar, the leash, whatever off. I always had to walk him with a harness, which he was perfectly happy with.
Ask questions... tell stories, whatever. I'd appreciate the distraction.

By analyzing the situation. Learn to forgive yourself and think about how each one of us has had moments of pure embarrassment.
You'll forget about it with time. I used to cringe a lot about shit that I did all the time. No use in that.

But i rationalise it and yet i start to think about it again like im being forced to.

I understand. Usually when it happens to me, it only occurs for a short while and then it's gone. It's usually also about little stuff. Does yours happen to be more severe or anything?

"Been over 2 months since I talked to her. We both liked each other but I took to long to make a move and also embarrased myself by drunk dialling.
Should I try and reconnect with her?"
Someone asked about the drunk dialing.
Basically I messaged her via a few times one night out drunk saying that I basically wanted to bang her and that I was drunk.
What do you guys think?

I'd call it quits to be honest. She's probably moved on by now, and a failed attempt at a drunk booty call is like walking up to her in front of her family, plopping your dick in a bun, squirting some mustard on it and asking if she fancies a hot dog.

Today I was at the arcade when a guy came up and started talking to me. I talked with him for a while and we ended up playing some games with him and his other friend for a little while. He said everyone there was part of a club or something. Note that most of the people he said he was with didn't talk to him at all, but apparently he was at the arcade with like 11 people. Anyway, we start playing this game and he's got his hands on my side of the cabinet "trying to show me stuff", which I let slide even though I thought it was annoying. Later, he said he had to go back home, and wanted to exchange contact info. I got out my phone and said I use a program called Line, which he does too. I start up the program and it takes 3-4 seconds to load, and in that time, he reaches out to my phone and tries to grab it. I pull it away from him and ask "what are you doing?" and he replied "I uhhh, sorry". At that point I just started laughing at the ridiculousness of this guy trying to grab my phone to try and help me or whatever bullshit he wanted to do, and I just turned away from him and said "get going". He seemed confused I didn't want to give him my contact information anymore, but he left without incident.
Now I would like to have more friends I can play games and stuff with, but this guy seemed like a social reject. Still, I was thinking about it after that happened and maybe I overreacted and he could've been a nice guy. On the other hand, I've run into social retards at arcades like this three times this year alone, so maybe I was saving myself some trouble. What do you think?

I would have done the same thing quite honestly. But, instead of "get going" I would have substituted "never mind, and sorry, but I should get going"
>>
>>16613548
He said he had to get going and I was in the middle of a fighting game match, I asked him to wait until after the match if he wanted to exchange contact info. He waited until I was done the match, and then we got out our phones. When I told him to get going, I was telling him to leave because I was still playing.
But thanks for responding, maybe I did save myself some trouble.

>>16613532
he was either trying to fugg you or trying to steal your phone. all in all probably a waste.
