Hello /adv/,
I'm 28 years old and working software since I graduated with a degree in Comp Engineering.
I'd like to go back to Grad School, but I dont want to stop working. What programs are available to me? I'm fairly near UC Berkeley so I'm going to look into what offerings they have. I wonder if you have advice for me on picking a program and making schedules work though.
Also, I'd prefer to study something that isn't computer science, but I wouldn't take that off the table entirely. I don't know precisely what I want to study, might consider business unless its truly a meme degree.

probably something nonSTEM based on your background.

Perhaps. I'd like to do writing, or something more creative. But I have an engineering background and restricted schedule. Can't be a chooser exactly

What would be an excellent experiment to perform in space? Must involve some form of biology. Trying to impress professors with this so they know I have a massive dick. Any creative ideas in here?

Digestion times. Food articles and stomach acid and enzymes in a container in low gravity.
I am not a sciencefag. Just throwing out an idea. Maybe itll inspire a better idea.

I can't motivate myself to actually do the work I need to do outside of class. Is there some trick to doing this? Are drugs the solution? I've never been diagnosed with ADHD and I don't really have the symptoms but using Ritalin a year or so ago really helped me.

You either WANT to do something, or dont want to. There is no other way around it.
And no, if being lazy was mental illness, everybody would be right now in hospital.
So what do you want to do?

You should get a couple hourz for exercise for every 6 hours you study.

How can I tell my girlfriend it's okay to cut loose without sounding weird
Basically every time we're at a club or something she seems very uptight like she doesn't want to make me jealous by dancing around other guys or something. How can I say "yo I don't care if things get a little wild I'll be fine you can dance with other guys and cut loose and flirt if you want to, even if things get wild I'm fine as long as you don't actually cheat on me" without coming off as very weird? I know it's coming from a caring place but idc if she grinds on some guys or if things get a little wild. I know she wouldn't actually cheat.
Like I don't wanna flirt with or feel up other girls or anything, but if she wants to flirt and play a little it's fine with me. She needs to have fun and cut loose and not be so worried about me

Unless this is a turn on to you (which it sounds like), I wouldn't mention it. It's great that you trust her and have mellow boundaries, but to many people stuff you mention, like grinding, would in fact constitute cheating. She might interpret your lack of jealousy as lack of fear to lose her, lack of protectiveness or whatever else.
I think unless you really want her to do this you should just stick to strongly telling her you don't care and she can dance with whoever she wants if she asks you if something like that is okay.
If it IS a turn on, stress that. Tell her it is exciting to see her dazzle those random guys knowing you will get to take her home.

why do people feel more sad when their child kills themselves than when they commit murder or terrorism?
Okay the latter is probably not something that the vast majority of parents are familiar with but in terms of things like anti-social behaviours, being a low life, raping, murdering, stealing the reaction by parents towards their children if they did the above are not as 'devastating' as towards suicide?
Is society really this stupid? Even online when some kid says he wants to murder someone, people react with way less disapproval than if he said he wants to kill himself.

First of all I'm pretty damn sure it's a horrible feeling if your child causes the death of others. It is just less socially acceptable to speak out about it because the entire world kind of wants you to shut the fuck up if you helped creating the person who became a killer. You are in many cases blamed at least partially. And even disregarding that, you'll just have lots of conflicting feelings. People do not typically stop loving their child just because they do something artrocious. The love between a parent and a child goes deeper than any kind of rational argument. It just is. And no one is wanting to hear from someone who loves the killer after it happened.
As for why suicide is so bad, because parents will forever wonder whether they could've done something, could've done more. This is also the case in the above scenario but in case of an accident or a disease it is much less plausible that they could've actively prevented it from happening. Another factor is that loved ones are often blind-sided and on top of the grief realize that their child suffered alone and they never knew. That is a terrible powerless feeling.
Last but not least, talking about wanting to kill people out of frustration is fairly common and a stupid fucking thing to do if you actually plan on killing anyone (unless you're already prepared to follow them into the grave). Whereas cries for help before an actual suicide happens are common.
Femanons,
Are any of you on Anti Depression (SSRI) pills? Did it kill your sex drive? If it did, were you still able to orgasm after bf/partner aroused you enough with foreplay?

Not a femanon but I took SSRI's.
Trust me, they are so shitty, they didn't make me happier and less depressed (since my stupid psychiatrist couldn't understand that my problems were from my environment). The only thing they did was to cause me to gain weight. I am a 5ft 5in male and I went from 61kg (132lbs) to 75. It wasn't depression causing me to gain weight because I had always been that weight prior to being prescribed the medications.
Take heroin for sex..It's really good.

>>18534722
But SSRIs seem to work for some people, do they not?

Yes it made me feel numb. I find what helped my long term depression the best was reconnecting with my senses doing sensory therapy.

Hi,
I'm pretty sure I'm bisexual, but I have a weird problem.
When I'm in a straight mood, I'm mostly confident and dominating, I do enjoy a girl taking the lead but not in a "weak" way.
When I'm in a gay mood I literally want to be protected and dominated. Not in a slutty way, but you know, just leaving my manhood for a while and letting a loving boyfriend take the wheel.
If I had to explain it quickly, I see straight sex & relationships as satisfying and fulfilling, while gay sex & relationships seem to be relieving. Both give a lot of pleasure.
Now keep in mind I haven't had any gay sex or relationships it's purely theorical.
I wouldn't have any problem to find a dom man as I have a youngish face and don't have a lot of hair on body.
But I don't want to go on any app or internet or even looking for openly irl.
Like the best scenario would be to be very close to a friend who happens to be bi and make me discover.
I often take pics of my body when I'm in a gay mood and post it to get advices on some board to get advices as I'm insecure. I really feel like having sex as a gay is easy even IRL I had several men coming to me trying to get my number or whatever.
So, it's not annoying in my life, I'm happy with straight sex. But should I bother about my gay side ? Even with my criterias ?
I feel like it's too risky and doesn't worth it.

If you feel like being gay is a part of you, then there's no chance of surpressing it. There's no harm in trying it out. If you dont like it, then move on. You just need to have the confidence in yourself.

>Been with gf for 4 years, living together the past 2
>im usually chill, never delt with anxiety before
>She is very loving and kind She's never cheated nor has she lied to make me feel bad Really nice, great sex, we can talk and really funny girl
>She has anxiety, gets panic attacks like once a week, goes to therapy and has learned to be more confident and been dealing better with her shit, no need for pills tho
>Still, the anxiety takes a toll on the relationship, specially when she has panic attacks cause shea screams, punches things and causes a great amount of stress on me
>Somtimes I feel helpless that she feels helpless, but still try to help her
>lose my job one day, shortly after my gf pressures me into finding new one
>Last week felt like I was having a heart attack, the doctor tells me its just GERD but caused by intense stress, he gives me meds, feeling better now
>now its so easy for me to get panic attacks tho, have to go out and walk for like an hour often just to stop shaking
>talk to gf about it, i tell her its most likely caused by living with her anxiety
>we cry like idiots cause we love eachother and its the last thing anybody wanted
>she feels insanly guilty about the whole thing, it causes her to retract her feelings more and only cries when she's locked in the bathroom
>GERD is better but i live with the fear that living with her can cause it again, so I distance myself when she feels the worst, its more often now that she knows she causes it
>Now I get shaky just of the idea of going out to find a job (we need income anyway) and i cant think of trying to cheer her up even for the sake of the relationship
Its seems like the anxiety has got us both by the balls
Is it time to end it?
She tells me i should look out for myself but i fear she's gonna hurt herself if i distance myself more
what do?
tl;dr
My gf's anxiety spilled onto me when we live together, now i have health issues, we still love eachother

I've been with my girlfriend for 6+ years. Sometime in early June 2017, I became fed up with how our sex life was going. I did all the initiating, she might agree have sex or give me oral once every 7-10 days. For me, this was the absolute bare minimum and I frequently found myself sexually frustrated and looking at more porn than was healthy.
So I stopped initiating sex as kind of an experiment to see how long it would take before she initiated it. We haven't had sex since I started this, going on 45+ days now. I knew it would be a while before she did, but this is fucking ridiculous.
Tell me what kind of conclusions are to be drawn from this. Because I'm seriously considering breaking up.

Holy shit that sucks.
>>
have you tried talking about it with her, what's wrong and why she is not initiating sex? Seems like she fell out of love with you, so breaking up seems logical thing to do
>>
>>18534526
1. Talk to her.
2. a) If she understands and is willing to do some efforts, problem solved.
2. b) She's evasive or tells you fuck off -> break up.
Et voilà, anon. :)

Hi /adv/
In a few weeks or months depending, I will start my childhood dream job. I'm not from the states but that's where my job is.
I would love some advice on how to live in this degenerate country, to ensure an economic and successful start in life.
Any tips welcome, but would prefer those pertaining to starting adult life (Job, relations, people, money management, etc.) over there.
Thank you.
