I can't see any realistic job prospects here in capital. Should I pull "the millennial" and move back in my moms place?
>>18544181
What kind of job?
How hard - be honest - have you looked?
How wide have you spread your net? A job not exactly what you want can be the inroad to what you want

>Should I pull "the millennial" and move back in my moms place
I don't see why not, moving out of your parent's house is just a scam these days. I never moved out and just paid my mom rent (below market rate, enough that I'm not a drain though) and it's worked fine for me.
>>18544181
If she's fine with it, there's no problem, just keep looking for a job while you're with her
I just learned today that my mom had a minor stroke. Her speech is fine but she has problems with moving her left leg and sometimes her left hand. Should I be worried after physical therapy and such?
>>18544160
This is serious but probably not life-threatening. (The proper medication after a stroke usually prevents another)
Your main concern should be her attitude. She's going to go through some hard and frustrating rehab, and your biggest contribution will be to keep her spirits up. If you don't live at home, phone her much more frequently than you usually do, just to chat - hearing from you, more than anything you tell her, will cheer her up. If you are at home, encourage her as she recovers, put up with her inevitable low moods, and offer all the practical help you can
>>18544160
What would worrying change? What would not worrying change?
It doesn't matter either way. Let yourself feel whatever feelings come to you.
>>18544214
Thanks. I live elsewher, and I have not been in constant contact with her. All makw sure to call her everyday anon-sensei
/adv/, how do I break my addiction to sugar?
I know the simple answer is "quit eating it" but sugar isn't like a hard drug, it is everywhere. It also doesn't help that I am a pastry chef.
My craft, my love, my passion is centered around sugar. It's been a part of my life for all of my life, and now it is my career.
Despite my discipline, I am skilled at other forms of cooking and if you looked at my meals, you would assume I am healthy.
But everything from handcrafted soda, to chocolates, taffies, baked goods, you name it, I am surrounded by it all the time. I feel like an alcoholic that works at a liquor store...
You dial it back to a point where it's no longer a problem.
Fuck non-indulgence, people are goddam pussies. You're headed to death anyway, die like a goddam walking party.
Besides, what kinda pastry chef would you be if you weren't acutely aware of how sweet your work was (or wasn't)?
If you take it in at a really over the top way, then try going cold turkey and slowly re-integrating it.
>>18544117
Eat more fruits, change from sugar to other kinds of sweetener.Healthier.Like dates, dates sugar is the healthiest out there
>>18544117
As a chef, explore the world of sugar-free pastries. There's a big market for it.
As a consumer, eat/drink "diet" foods. They're not an ideal solution, but a big step.
What's the best way for me to relearn high school math concepts from grade 9-12 over again in my spare time before I go to college? Should I just get a tutor, or is there a better way?
>>18544115
I like the schaum's series. Start with the basics Algebra Geometry Trig precalculus calculus. Do all of the problems and you'll be ready..

Help /adv/ I'm into weird porn, and I want to stop it... What do I do to lay off of it? I try to resist the urge to fap to it, but I can't. It's too strong. What do? Literally just jerked off to the porn, it just feels wrong after I'm done. It's not gore or anything lethal towards other people, it just feels really horrible after fapping because I just feel it's wrong.
>pic unrelated
Taboo fetishes are common anon, the reason you like it is because it "feels wrong". If it's a violent or humiliating fetish then so long as you know it's wrong and it stays fantasy there's nothing overtly wrong with your "weird porn". Just don't let your fantasies shape your interactions with people and you wont be in danger of being "that guy".
No fap helped me. Only took a week too. But it sounds like you don't have enough willpower. Start drinking beers when you wanna fap.
I enjoy watching cuckold porn, but I insert myself as the bull. Is that normal?
i almost succumbed to my urges to fap after 3 days of nofap. tell me it gets better, /adv/. when do the urges go away? i'm entering college this month and i'm banking on finding an outlet for my physical and emotional desires there.
>>18544056
Read into no fap
https://www.yourbrainonporn.com/your-brain-porn
but don't join in their faggot discussion groups
their is lots of advice there
realize how bad porn is for you
maybe get a browser plug in to stop you accessing sites
if you are doing it in your bed room, jam the door open
>>18544063
is looking at it just as bad as fapping?
>>18544067
You are backwards. Watching porn is what is bad for you. Fapping by itself is perfectly fine.
I am 2 weeks without fapping not because I fell for the nofap meme but because I decided to do a no fapping for the last 2 numbers of your post in days (rolled a fucking 96). It doesnt get better. It only gets worse. You will have trouble sleeping and be irritable all the time. You will get an erection all the fucking time. Not only that but I have felt no positive effects as I wasn't a porn addict who did it 4 times a day.
I only pursue a lucrative career, work out, and make friends to spite all the people that made fun of me/never believed in me This isnt healthy, right? Surely I should enjoy such things for their own sake?
LARPing or just a fag?
Using hate is alright but doing everything out of spite is not.
pffft motivation is motivation, if you enjoy proving wrong all those who formerly doubted you, so be it
Okay guys so I've just moved to another city and I've realized i have no idea how to make friends. Its been fine in the past but I've really drawn a blank. Please, I need a bud in this strange new world!!
where did you move to?
What do you like OP? Try to find a group or meetup for something you enjoy.
Alternatively just pick a cafe or something and start going there every couple days. Chat up the employees/owner and maybe become friends with them. Note that I am talking about a small quiet place and not some chain place.
So i just sprayed a bottle of G.h bass &vo water &stain repellent on my penis.Dont ask.Now it burns like hell,i just read the ingredients and it says it has propane & heptane.I just got some Clorox wipes to sooth and clean that shit off my testicles.Any advice as to relieve the burn?(It got inside my dick hole)
dude wat, no clorox wipes PUT THE CLOROX WIPES DOWN NAO FAGGOT
rinse with lukewarm water, wash gently with mild soap, rinse moar, rinse a bunch moar, leave it alone, if it burns put some aloe on it, leave it alone

Are you fucking retarded?
I would like to see my friends more but the only time we really meet is to go out drinking and I don't like how that's become routine. Is there anyway to socialize with them realistically without drinking or spending loads of money.
Invite them over to watch the game or for a dinner party or to watch a movie.
I don't know what kind of people you anbd your friends are but do a thing that you type of people do.
>>18543986
Put together a team to play in a pick-up league
>>18544242
Bump - basketball softball soccer -- of couse after they'll want to drink. Go have one (or an ice tea) then bail but leave saying got to get up early for this or that...
Also I've done this in the past. Tell them your going sober for 6 months. Say you want to get back in shape or if you've always been a fat ass then you want to get in shape.

A key has fallen out and the battery needs to be replaced. It'll only cost 50 something to replace the battery though.
Should I replace the battery or buy a new laptop?
I'm a fit 19 year old college student, and I'm really into women in the 30-40 age range. How can I find women in this age range looking for a younger guy?
Hey /adv/ I have a situation that you might be able to help me with.
So this girl i've liked since High School broke up with her boyfriend around three months ago. She still hangs out with him despite him being an emotionally unstable ass hat. Eventually I got tired of dancing around it so I told her how I feel and she said that she feels the same but wants to put some distance between her and her ex. But she still is hanging out with him after he has done several fucked up and pathetic things since their breakup.
What do?
>>18543844
Just confront her and ask why she still hangs out with him if she's trying to put some distance
Pic related. I've been trying to find out who this woman is for years. All I have are a couple of images of her and a couple videos. I've no clue who she is, even after searching through reverse image finders.
What the fuck do I do? Why the fuck am I even obsessing over this girl? She's not even that conventially attractive and I've never met her on in my life. I don't know who she is, or where she is. Only what she looks like and...I guess her room had blue walls, at some point?
I can't just stop. I just can't, I've tried and I always fall back. I'm gonna sound like a fucking creep when I say this, but she calms me whenever I'm stressed out. Then I get stressed out over the fact that I don't know who she is.
What the fuck do I do? Yes, I know it's low-res.
>>18543841
yeah you're weird af bro, I don't think I'd help you even if I could could your obsession is unhealthy
>>18543841
You'd better stalk real woman, not random internet chicks.
I promise you, it is waaaaaay more interesting.
Just walk on the street. Make a photo of random girl. Go home. Wait 24 hours. Now your goal is to find her. It is possible. How? Use your brain and fantasy. That's the best part of it, to figure something out.
Try it.
