My bf and I are both 21 yearold virgins. Today while cuddling I saw a piece of folded paper on the coffee table out of no where. While i was unfolding it (it was a receipt) he ripped it away from my hands before I could read it and crumpled it up. Not only did he not throw it in the trash regularly, he held it for a couple of minutes before throwing it in the trash downstairs. It seemed like he had only bought one thing from the amount of text. Could this be condoms? What else would he be so afraid of me seeing?

Is self publishing your first novel practical or worthwhile?

I don't recommend it.
Well, just think about the costs to make a book. And also ask yourself who is going to purchase your book and how. There's a reason authors still go to publishers. They prefer not to get involved in the business aspect such as supply chain, advertising, or even marketing. Can't forget about the costs either. You are generally going to pay for the books materials, shipping and handling to stores (assuming you are selling from there), and even lawyers for copyright and other legal jazz...
This is the most serious reason not to self publish. You won't even know if the crowd will like your book. Having a publisher help you sell a book means they have faith and believe your book has potential- so they invest. I don't mean to be rude when I say this but if your book isn't good and you self publish it, you are going to take a huge loss.

In case it's not, I'm not gonna give you the "Be yourself" bullshit. But I will say, "Just hang out and be cool." Don't do anything cringey or dumb, wear a condom, don't drink and drive, and if shit goes south, they were to square for you anyway, my nigga.
Have fun!

There is literally no circumstance in the United States where the HOA has the ability to evict a homeowner or a tenant in a homeowner's property. They can place leins on the house in the way of fines, fees, etc....but it's a crock of shit to think that an HOA has the legal authority to force anyone out of a home.

mom wants me out as she thinks I'm the reason the HOA is threatening to evict us. Thing is, landlord's been getting pissed too.

One of the worst things you could have done is quit your job.
Being depressed requires two things: distraction and professional help. Distractions can be free, but professional help is a service that requires compensation. At your age it's hard to make enough money to see someone regularly, but once a month or even once every two months is doable even on a limited budgets (especially if you're living at home). If the work contributed to your depression and suicidal thoughts then yeah, I understand, but you need to be looking for something to earn money regularly instead of selling off your assets.

i got back from mexico on monday and i've been having diarrhea/stomach pain ever since. the diarrhea started about the last three days of the trip and is extremely intermittent. i have really bad nausea that just started up today and bad joint pain if that has any correlation. i never ever get diarrhea so i suspect something is wrong. i consumed a lot of alcohol on the trip and initially thought it was that but it's still going on. i know i should see a doctor soon, but does anybody know if this sounds like parasites/bacteria?
i didn't drink the water except for bottled water and the water the resort offered as being filtered and safe to consume.

definitely possible, my first google supported guess would be lysteria, but could be anything, tell your doctor you have been there and they will give you an antibioticum and if it doesnt help, send you to a speciallist, there is no way to avoid the doctor this time.
Most important goal for you until then is to not dehydrate, ther are rehydration salts you can get at a pharmacy if you can't keep up with rehydration, you go to a hospital for IV rehydration

I just started using tinder/bumble today. I plan to mainly use it for hookups but I'm open to a relationship if the girl is right.
What I need is interesting conversation starters. I can carry a conversation fine enough, but I suck at thinking of interesting questions and such.
General tinder advice is also appreciated.

TL;DR
Got a job recently that's shit and then just got back from one that is a hell of a lot better when work for the shit one is literally tomorrow. Do I keep both jobs and keep low hours with the shit one - keep the shit one and don't bother with the good one - or completely ditch the shit one and go with the good one. If the latter, how do I go about leaving current one.
ー
Just hoping that all you anons can give me some input where I need it, regardless of my age I guess.
So now 17 of a few months, quit working at McDonald's due to stress, some mental issues and just the people I had to put up with because, you know, McDonald's hires literally anyone. Worked about a total of six months.
Then after a few weeks with summer in, I started applying again, not too concerned as to where but at least keeping wage in mind. Recently got back from another fast food chain that offered the crummy minimum wage of Wisconsin ($7.75). Tomorrow is my first day for on floor and training, fairly simple stuff, less things to do than McDonald's and fairly nicer work environment and customers. Food is just a smidgen more expensive so customer base tends to be older and a lot better to deal with compared to the occasional kangz n shiet or barely audible Somolian immigrants of McDonald's.
Then today I got back from another place. Restaurant in the city stadium, a hell of a lot nicer. Pays $11.00 when training is passed and just your regular $7.75 until then. Far better opportunity for advancement and whatnot, as well as improvement in something personal, being cooking because I'm shit at it. At least capable of cooking simple food, not like I start fires and shit. Went to a job fair today for it today and now I technically have two jobs.

Cont.
Told mama bird of it and explained how I'm gonna quit the shit job and go for the one that I see as a real opportunity. She sat me down and basically told me I'm stupid and should work both jobs instead of "burning bridges" with minimum wage fast food crewmen position. Said I should keep the one that's closer, low wage and just try to work bare minimum hours on the side on top of this new better one that's just a little out the way but that doesn't matter much, I have functioning legs. Basically, I'm trying to avoid two jobs because I don't want to imagine that type of stress and try to balance that out. Dunno if that's childish or irresponsible of me but that just isn't my goal.
Basically, my predicament is, do I listen to my mother and go with what I don't want to do or just go with what I wanted to do and probably will do: ditch the shit job and go for the one that I think is worth it. And if I go with the latter, how do I go about saying that I may quit very soon because of better opportunity?

I have a good job that pays nicely but I fucking hate the work I do. I am pretty confident that I would be happier at a place where I *don't* do that kind of work, even If I make substantially less. Has anyone ever been in that kind of situation? Did you leave? Did it work out for you? Appreciate the feedback :^)

Not me personally, but my Aunt left a great paying job to work at an animal shelter. It's been a few years and she's never been happier.

So I don't really have the urge to kill myself. I did back when I was edgy and 15 and all, and I do have bipolar disorder, but I don't really feel the urge to kill myself. However, the past few weeks I've been noticing that I whisper to myself about killing myself, how good it would be to just end it all and how life is suffering and other really edgy stuff. I don't really think about it after it happens, it's just a really weird outburst. What's wrong with me? I just finished a bunch of therapy sessions and I think they helped, but should I go get some more? This is getting worse by the day, to the point where other people are noticing and I just don't understand it.

Alright, full disclosure, I used to raid other discord servers. This is something I am not proud of and regret deeply.
As my "raiding" days began to draw to a close, I joined a server, and showed it to some of my biddies thinking the people there were stupid. We never ended up doing anything, and I stopped raiding a few days later. As time has gone on, I've became a staff member on the server, as well as a good friend to most people there. I enjoy being around all of them, and don't have any ill-will towards anyone there anymore.
As of now, three people are still on that server from my raid days. One of them is still a friend of mine who regretd raiding as well, and the other two were just raiders. I am worried about one of them telling the rest of the server about what I originally planned to do, and them reacting negatively.
What can I do?

Raiding isn't a big deal. The people that got raided will probably feel stronger now because you bullied them and now they will act over confident (even though they have no confidence)
If it doesn't make you feel good, then don't do it. But don't regret it since it will destroy you.
I mean, you didn't physically harm anyone, did you?
By any chance, was it from the pol discord? I raided one server with them befote, but meh.

I'm a 20 year old male and have 2000 dollars in the bank from student loans that I could use to leave the state and escape from home. College starts back in August and while I'm doing well I'm absolutely miserable there and hate where I live(Tennessee). Should I leave and where should I go? I have very little that I'm leaving behind and figure I could start over elsewhere with a better life. Currently living with my mother working a bad job and have few friends.

I have a pretty hard time caring about people or anything really. Could be depression, I have depression. But then again, it's as if I only care if I've hurt someone if it directly affects the self-image of a saintly person I've constructed for myself. The moment it doesn't, I simply stop caring and "take shortcuts", so to speak. I'm not proud of that, but then again this could be because I'm shattering my ego projection rather than because I actually feel.
I'm probably fooling everyone in my life. But I really don't want to.

Spend the least amount of time possible in your house, make lasting friendships

I still fondly remember sonething my guidance counselor told us, a few weeks before graduation, roughly translated: "Enjoy high school to its fullest. Don't be a sour puss. Ten years from now, when you look back, you'd want nice memories to remember, not bitter ones."
If you have some spat with someone, maybe let it go, make up with them. You're never returning to this time again.
And work. Save early.

You're insecure.
Good chance that the things you resent them for are triggering your own insecurities and you want to cut off that reminder.
There are a lot of bullshit platitudes out there. That you need to love yourself before you love others is not bullshit. It's very true. And what's more is that it's true in degrees. If you *mostly* love yourself, you'll only *mostly* love others.
