I'm a faggot from the states. I have a friend of a European country. His brother is at college (my friend is still a high school kid and I am a freshman) and he tells me how his brother is really disliking his major/the job(s) linked to his major and he is thinking about dropping out of college.
Is it rude of me to say/imply that his brother is being picky/unrealistic? Really, most people dislike their jobs and they can't quit it as they have bills to pay. Also, most people who say that they enjoy work are lying/implying that it's not the worse job out there. It's not like flipping Burgers at McDonalds is better. I'm working part-time to pay for college and I think his brother is just being picky as he has never been out in the working world and does not know what going to work is like (it is very uncommon for college students in his country to find a job). Really, people from his country are just lazy motherfuckers with a lot of wannabe NEETs (and nah, my friend is not from a rich family).
It's ignorant of you to say. People are allowed to change their mind about their major or career without getting the ok from some guy in the states who probably doesn't have any experience in that field.
It's rude to say because it's not your place. You have no say in his decision making and you shouldn't cause drama about it.

He's thinking about dropping out of college? What can he do besides flipping burgers at McDonalds?
I think he is just being picky, that is all. Can you name a job which does not have a single shitty aspect? Most people dislike their jobs and it's the same worldwide. My friend's brother is nothing special.
So let's say a woman starts showing signs of interest. How do you proceed from here?
Ask her out
>>16595857
So let's say I invite her to a movie/restaurant/whatever. What do I do next? Obviously visiting some public place together doesn't turn her into your girlfriend.
>>16595864
Go out a few times. When you feel it's right and want to make it official just ask her if she would like to be your gf.
Don't over think this shit.
How would you define your moral philosophy? Is it important for you to have one?
>>16595780
Yes, very important. Moral relativity these days is fucking a lot of shit up.
I guess I'm a Stoic
I'm not even sure how to define morals really. Most of my actions are guided mostly by logic.
My gf just called me a bit buzzed and said she wants to break up because "she has nothing to offer" (economically).
>she's 24
>just graduated from civil engineering
>basically lives from the scholarship because she doesn't want her parents to give her money
Long story short... She wants to do a major, and needs to work her ass off, so she'll work in a cruise line for 4 months, fast and easy money, or so I've been told. Then do the major and live on scholarship while at that. She's uncomfortable because she has no job, no income (just the scholarship money) also basically told her old folks to stop giving her money, because she wants to be independent.
>I'm 25, mechanical electrical engineer
>Currently employed/developing a biogas project for a pig farm
>Also building up my craft beer brewery from scratch.
>Want to do a master, but job and my brewery won't allow me, at least not for a while.
>Basically love this girl like I've never loved anyone before, I really don't mind at all the money side, could live in a tent eating soup, she makes me happy.
She said she felt really bad, that she hates her situation and that she wants to put on hold our relationship for 6 months to a year until she gets to a economic/professional state in which she's comfortable in, also tried to encourage me to "find a girl that's worth it", to use tinder or to just hang out until I meet someone (WTF).
Opinions, advice, what the hell just happened.
She wants to party and sleep around during the cruise and is too much of a coward to break up with you for real.
>>16595800
Really doubt it man, because the cruise thing is not even for sure, is just one option. Besides, she'll be working, so the party hard on the cruise sounds a bit unrealistic.
Also, nice dubs!
>>16595773
>so she'll work in a cruise line for 4 months
Are you really surprised that she wants to break up given this? Think it through a second.
I was chatting with my girlfriend after she got off work, it was pretty late so I asked if she was tired, she said not really. After about 13 minutes of texting, she said that she was "Super Tired" and then she wished me goodnight. I asked her if she still wanted to be together and she told me it would be better to tell me in person. I asked if she could just say yes or no and she hasn't responded(she might have passed out). How fucked am I /adv/?
Whatever happened she was already thinking it. What made you ask that? Even though she said no she isn't tired maybe it just hit her all the sudden, that's what I would of thought.
You're done for.
>>16595739
Sounds like it.
Any anons who are parents but have younger siblings: What would you do If you found out your little brother, say 16 nearly 17 felt your 4 yr old daughter's butt just a bit while you were over for thanksgiving ?
in what context did he feel her butt? picking her up or something is okay but if he was touching it intentionally, it's weird and he needs to be supervised around her
>>16595533
Like she was playing with her toys and he just sort of felt it.
>What would you do If you found out your little brother, say 16 nearly 17 felt your 4 yr old daughter's butt just a bit while you were over for thanksgiving ?
That's not a whole lot of context. Could've been an accident.
the second time i ever smoked weed, i had a panic attack. at first it was fun and i was laughing uncontrollably while experience HEAVY vertigo, but then i wanted to stop and relax but i couldnt. thats when i flew into a panic attack.
also, another huge thing is that the whole event felt like a dream, like it wasnt really happening.
does anybody know why this happened? will it happen again? also could somebody explain the dreamy feeling?
Weed affects people differently. Either weed isn't for you, or smoke less.
How about you read on the effects of drugs before taking them nigger?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Effects_of_cannabis#Psychoactive_effects
>>16595451
Same thing happens to me. Get dizzy, get panicky, and I freak out. Just can't smoke weed man, sorry. I've tried a million times but its just the same thing.
Serotonin spikes and anxiety disorders just don't mix.
>got a car
>got a decent job
>got a cheap little apartment
>have sex regularly with a few girls
>still unhappy and aimless
what should i do with my life
gotta go fast
Happiness (or lack thereof) is not dependent on your external amenities (or lack thereof). It's a brain chemistry thing.
Would this jump kill me?
>>16595321
You can't die from jumping into water, as long as you don't hit Any rocks you'll be fine
I want it to kill me
Looks like less than 10 meters.
If you can properly hit the water instead of rock, and the wate ris deep enough, you'll live.
Make sure to assume the correct body position or it could get injured though.
i just watch my cousin kill himself and I think it's my fault, here's what happened
>I'm 18 living alone so I get lonely
>I decide to skype my cousin, let's call him Nick
>he's 15
>I find out Nick's having another panick attack, he's got a lot of mental issues
>he goes off and starts speaking nonsense about how his little sister called the cops on him for being on illegal websites
>I try to calm him down, he ends the call
>he's already had a lot of traumatizing shit happen to him and contiplating suicide
>I keep trying to call him back
>his little sister answers freaking out and covered in blood
>Nick shot himself
>their parents are out tonight and my phone is dead, the cops are already on there way from his sister's call earlier
What do I do I can't contact anyone and my uncle's house is a state away and they are the closest family members to me
Why do you think it was your fault?
>>16595245
hey now, hold on there. what did you do to cause him to kill himself? hell you tried to calm him down! you did the right thing. you absolutely cannot feel guilty. you did the right thing and should be proud. you can't go back and question if you should have said something differently when you tried your best. that's all you can do, your best. there wasn't a way this wasn't going to happen regardless of what you did. you need to be at peace with that.
i'm not sure who to contact when you can't contact any family. do you have a friend close by?
what a little cunt. i hope you beat the living shit out of that other cousin of yours.
So some girls tell you that they don't want you looking at them during sex, despite them being pretty attractive. I've heard that's a red flag. What's the deal with that anyway?
I had an online ex who told me if we ever did it she wanted me to put a pillow over her face while I fucked her.
I'm not questioning that this is a red flag, but I'm curious as to why it is.
autism
The pillow thing sounds more of a fetish than actual embarrassment.
I guess some chick's are conscious of the faces they make during
I didnt know this was a thing. My gf covers her eyes and doesnt really make eye contact. I cant be that ugly ktgerwise she wouldnt be fucking me
Does love find you, or do you find love?
Idk but I actually dont give a fuck about it anymore.
BUUUUUMP
>>16594837
It goes both ways.
Is there any point to a relationship where your partner has broken your trust many times, but you believe the trust can be earned/built back up again, and you're both deeply in love with each other?
>>16594824
Building trust after it was breached is near impossible. It will always be in the back of your mind.
>>16594838
That is so true.
Trust is earned and never forgotten.
Why put the word deeply there? Now it's word porn. This anon is fucking annoying. Get rid of yourself, already.
tldr; Nice guy friend (genuinely believes people deserve to be treated kindly) is breaking down.
Dont know how to help him
Alright I have a friend, lets say Carl.
He feel for the nice guy meme where you treat people like they are pieces of shit. Now while this would usually be good, he's my roomie, so I have to listen to all the shit he gets.
The problem is particularly his love life. He's a fucking doormat but he thinks hes actually doing the right thing by helping people because they asked. Its easy for he to shield him from guys who try to abuse him mainly because guys dont treat other guys as their emotional sponge and dont treat other guys as pets. However girls are a lot harder. You see he's fallen for the "be a gentlemen" meme and girls keep fucking him over. The worst part is having to listen to him complain about girls.
>Im nice to girls and they dont really even see me
He complains about guys about the same way but with women its a lot worse. In our friend circle hes the only one actively pursuing relationships with people "be their friends" and shit. You know, the type of faggot who opens doors for people and what not. Thing is its like hes invincible to women. Like he'll open the door and a girl, she'll give him a hug and then come hang out with the rest of the guys in the group. Literally every women he invites over to hang does this. Then they all talk about how sweet he is when its convenient and how we're all douches and insensitive but literally forget hes in the room all the time. They use him as an emotional sponge and to do favors and then forget him as soon as they're done ranting to go hang out with the rest of us. This shatters his confidence so much. Even more so when a girl he likes goes and sits in one of our laps.
>>16594692
cont
>I wouldnt have this problem if I girls thought I was attractive
>Im not cool like you
>Im too short
Like holy shit. He just broke down infront of me one day. I couldnt even try to cheer him up or help him because hed just rant on about how during the emotion sponge period women all talk about how my friends and I are attractive and ignore him.
And holy shit dont let him actually like a girl. Literally everything goes wrong for him Im really tired of listening to how shitty he ends up getting treated.
How do I help this guy. I keep telling him to stop being a faggot that no one actually likes nice guys. Theyre just to use and abuse but he really wants to believe people are good deep down. Then he goes on about how even Im a douche to him but always have his best interest in mind so he hopes others are like that. I literally cant save him from a life of misery and being an emotional sponge.
You can't help him if you think deep down people are not good. That no one likes being treated nicely. If you could help him while believing that, why would you? Unless you imagine you're both separate from the rest of the world. If people only do things for their own benefit, you should stop trying to help him too. You'd prove yourself right and not have to deal with him anymore.
Do you want to help him for your own gain just so you don't need to deal with him? Or do you actually care at all about helping someone?
>>16594697
>>16594692
Might as well go into what happens with women he likes a bit.
Usually its coming across to him that the girls he like and just girls in general hang out with him to get to the rest of the group since hes the most approachable. And I cant even deny that because its partly true. But man when its a girl you like its pretty rough. He doesnt even like bringing the girls he likes around us which complicates things even more for him since we cant even try to be a bro and help him out.
He ask girls (and guys but this is about girls he likes right now) to hang out with him (just him) and spend so quality to time him and he usually just gets blown off unless the girl needs him or wants to hang out with someone else in the circle. When they do its usually him being an emotional sponge, doormat, etc and it literally hurts me to watch such faggotry. But its how he believes people should be treated. I assume this is a girl thing because guys dont really try to abuse him the same way and when they do it by doing something really douche and the rest of the group tells the guy to fuck off. But we cant do that to a girl he likes. Basically he gets used and dump by girls a lot. Any time they start talking about relationships hes subtly let down but in ways that crush his confidence.
>I like taller guys
>I like buff guys
>I think the guy is so hot
Hell he even was just going to confess to this one girl and when he did she basically cut off all connection to him and some other brutal things (she still comes around the group but avoids him like the plague)
It gets better, other girls do this to him as well and when I asked 1 about it she gave me some sob story about how she was afraid he liked her because it would alienate her from the rest of us. Best part is apparently he was around the corner and heard this.
Really Ive been just trying to tell him to stop being a faggot and that he shouldnt be nice to people, especially women but they are quick to abuse.
I was just diagnosed with a kidney stone. The doctor told me to prepare for the worst pain in my life. Is this an exaggeration, or am I going to need a morphine drip while I bite down on a bullet?
Anything I can do to prepare myself mentally? She refused to prescribe any pain medication because her practice is not allowed to prescribe controlled substances.
Not sure how bad they are but they may be comparable to hemmoroids. I would think kidney stones hurt a lot more but hemmoroids hurt like crazy sometimes too.
Just push it out and take the giant hit of pain at once and live with it, going slow would not equal less pain in this siituation I don't think.
It will hurt. A lot.
A woman that I know that has given birth three times swears kidney stones are worse. I've seen it make a man unable to move, throw up from pain, and cry. Drink a lot of water. It will increase the chance of coming out sooner better, and when you pass it you may feel like you are about to pass out. If you have a heating pad place it on your back over the kidney with the stone. Increase blood flow to your kidney will increase the output which will help you pass it quicker.
Good luck.
Uh.. dude.. imagine pushing a small sharp stone down your urethra (out of your p). That's what will happen and how it will feel like.
My condolences.
