Any advice on being more positive about "injustice", ie good things happening to bad people and vice versa? I've had a strong sense of justice since forever and need a way of looking at life that helps me accept that injustice and shit happens.

justice is a lie and so is injustice. stuff just happens, why should you even care? who's to say what's just and unjust anyway? You? fuck off
>>
Socrates' definition of justice in Plato's Republic is minding your own business. Try doing that and not getting involved where you don't belong.
>>
Perhaps the key is in recognizing that being good or being bad has no influence over what sort of things happen to you?
There's no hidden karma meter that balances things up eventually.

You do good, you are good, good and bad things happen.
You do evil, you are evil, good and bad things happen.

Would you rather a hidden force threatened everyone to good? What's the point?

If you're too lazy to look or put any effort into it you aren't gonna have a good time.

If you're throwing some big thing for profit, its pure business to try and reach as many people as possible, meaning you're gonna have to sift through some shit. You can narrow down your google searches by interests.
Instead of "Events in my town" try "music events in my town" "anime events in my town" "sports events in my town"
Whatever your hobby is insert there.

You can try facebook too. That's how I find most of the events going on in my town, but shocker, I still have to scroll past bullshit I don't care about. FB will let you narrow it down to things like "nightlife" "music" or whatever handful of other categories.

After nearly a year of weekly meetings with my therapist it looks like we have to part ways. Next month is my final session and the thought of it really brings me down, i've really grown to like our meetings and it feels like I'm saying farewell to a friend (friendless in real life btw). Any anons know this feel? How can I overcome the sadness of the inevitable?

Hi I really need help. I posted this somewhere here a few weeks ago.. has anyone experienced something similar? I've been in a relationship where I found the most comfort (I cant found that peace at home because of abusive mother). We have 80% compatible taste in musics, books, foods, arts, and almost everything.

He broke up with me after 6 years long, and 1 month after engagement. Because "he found someone who can make him more comfortable". He was my best friend and I was his (we were both introvert and have a very tight personal space). A few weeks after the break up, he already has a new gal, which is my own childhood friend. She was his highschool crush, and she's finally single on January.

Three guys and two relationships later, why I keep comparing the guys I dated with that bastard? The guy I am dating right now is the sweetest, caring, very wealthy, a family man, and taught me so much about healthy relationship. But, he's not smart.. I miss having a long and satisfying discussion about everything. Maybe 5 days a week, I am satisfied and very happy with my current relationship. But there are days where I miss the feeling of being engaged in a conversation and get answers for my random questions. During those days, I usually dried my eyes and unintentionally think about my ex. Does this mean that we are not "right" for each other? Or am I being a bitch?

I envy my ex's current relationship (that being displayed all over social media). It seems like he's enjoying life and not getting any of the karma myth everyone's been telling me about.

Do you guys have any tips for me to survive? Please? I've been doing too much work, too much exercise, and signed myself to do activities beyond my boring daily life. It's been 7 months and still feel like shit. Does anyone ever forget, and really heals? Or you're just going to settle with everything you can get? I really, really want to be happy.

And how to make my ex's life miserable? Will he ever be?

Delete him off your social media then

For someone calling someone else not smart, you sure are fuckin' stupid for continuing to subject yourself to it
>>
>>18549472
This is it, absolutely. You have to commit to it. This kind of thing is like a wound. You have to let it alone. If you keep touching it it's never going to heal. Delete every presence of him from your life.

Now, it's probably got some "scar tissue" at this point (negative cognitive patterns that are hard to break), so it might take a while. Consider that the image he presents of himself on social media is likely not reality. Do you know the specifics of his inner life? If not, you're probably just projecting.

If nothing else, there's always therapy. It seems to genuinely help some people, though it's never done a thing for me personally.
>>
>>18549472
I am sorry for things I said, but thank you for replying.

>>18549520
Thank you for your words and your time. I didnt really 'delete' his presence in the first place because I'm still on a good term with his parents and sibling.. we talk and hang-out regularly. But if leaving them also necessary, ok then.. I need to try..

>His inner life
I don't think I really know much about him anymore today.

>you're probably just projecting
I hope so.. this cheered me up a bit. I hope you're going to have a nice day anon/a good night sleep

I'll be going out with this woman I like and use to work with and was wondering how I should make conversation with her. I know it sounds dumb but I'm stumped on what questions to ask as I don't want to bring up work but I don't know anything else much about her. As for making the move, I don't want to have sex with her but show her I'm interested and maybe ending the night with a kiss, how should I do that? If you need any more info just ask but i won't be able to reply until a few hours after maybe.

Interview for a postgraduate course in 3 days and I know very little about the course I have applied for.

Is there anyway to be prepared for an interview in this short amount of time? is it too late to even attempt to study for it?

I've got a tight knit group of mates, there's 5 of us in total and we've all finished school and set to go to university in September. We all said we'd try and make the best summer we could before we went our separate ways. We're a month in and we must have only gone out all together 6 times.

Two of my mates, Jake and Tomas however refuse to come out with us. Jake got with a girl and is now completely obsessed with her and will not see us and will blow us off. Tomas just won't come out. When Jake isn't seeing his girlfriend of 2 weeks he's playing games for 13 hours a day - same as Tomas.

The only two reliable friends are Nick and Callum.

What's the best way to tell the former two to nut up and come out. Whenever I say I can't make an outing I get absolutely ridiculed and still get mocked for not coming out a certain time TWO YEARS AGO.

I'm on my wit's edge. Tomas says we're best of friends but won't see me. What do?

Try inviting Jake and his gf to go out with you and your posse somewhere and as for Thomas,maybe you can find out a place that he would enjoy going to,such as a concert of a band that he likes and spend some time with him.He'll eventually want to hang out more(I hope)
>>
>>18548745

tell them how you feel. if they don't see reason, there isn't much you can do unfortunately. enjoy the ones who will spend time wtih you. leave the others behind.

it sucks when women come between friends.

I don't like my friends. Will I be able to slowly scrape them one by one? They are attached to me, but they don't seem to be infatuated or anything. I actually don't like a single friend I have made, and don't think I will until I am more successful in life. They're not even good friends - they're mean, deceptive, and have vices.

Every time I start a new job I can't wait to fucking leave it. This is the fourth time this has happened. I've worked office jobs, laboratory jobs and call centre jobs. Normally I stick with the jobs a year or two, but the latest job I lasted barely a month.

Its not just a thought that passes through my head and leaves. I mean I get an overwhelming 'need to gtfo' feeling.

Anyone else know that feeling? What do?

I am not a clever man. I know that. I'm not unintelligent, but I'm certainly nothing more than average. I'm fairly well spoken, went to a public school (England, so private to you ameritubs) and have rich parents so went to a good university and studied PPE at Brasenose College, which is the equivalent of an Ivy League in the UK.

I passed with a 2:1 with a great deal of help from family (most of whom were alumni, one of which plays golf with the Provost), and know for a fact I passed where others would have failed, as I've met lectures at social parties afterwards who have, jovially, told me that I was one of the intended family students they were informed of.

I have recently taken a fairly senior job with the civil service, once again solely due to nepotism, and my intention is to enter politics through the normal route.

I've been studying biology recently in my free time, as my position is with Public Health England, which is the branch of the civil service that oversees the medical needs of the population. It's mainly health protection - prevention is better than cure and all that - but am struggling with even the basics.

My question is, is there somewhere I can anonymously gain a better understanding of the fundamentals of science? Failing that, is there something basic I'm missing that makes science so unrelatable to me?

Thanks in advance.

>gain a better understanding
Books. If you have teacher, ask him about what books you should read. Then you also has list of reccomended and additional reading. Also google is big help. Whenever you see something new or you struggle to grasp concept, google should be your first bet.

>fundamentals of science
You lost me right here. How is this relatable to anything?

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Outline_of_academic_disciplines#Natural_sciences

What exactly do you mean by
>science
? It is very broad subject.
