I don't know much about where everything is on a map. I just don't know anything about countries in general.

Well you pay taxes on anything you buy anyway

idk about american law, but yep, you could get fucked in the ass if they find out. might be they don't, but if they do, you know...
it's mostly only a problem if you lead a lifestyle that doesn't suit your taxed income, though. as in, get wellfare and drive a tesla.

>>18566341
That's what people refer to as being paid "under the table". You should be recording the amount you're being paid and then when you file taxes input it properly. There's a very small chance you'll ever be audited however you might eventually trigger a flag with your bank for drug offenses or money laundering.

It's because he feels that he is failing as a man by not satisfying you. Best way would be to play his manliness in other ways.

>>18566437
i get that and have talked to him about it but to no avail. i also think that i don't undermine his manlines or sense of capability in any other way. bit on my witts end here.

>>18566443

> I want to be a film director and make some Oscar worthy movies but I don't know quite where to start.

Stop being 17 and give up now.

Convert to Judaism.

Film student about to graduate here. Been on about half a dozen "professional" productions. A couple Netflix originals, three Indie films, and one blockbuster.

I can tell you that "the film industry" is really hundreds of individual talents and jobs under the same general umbrella. Rarely does someone set out "to get into the business" without a specific field or goal. For example, if you say "I want to be a cinematographer," it's a lot easier to find success than saying "I wanna make movies."

Also, practice, practice, practice. Make as much shit as you can, because each time you make something, it becomes less and less shit. Then, suddenly, your shit is making its way through festivals and eventually on the big screen.

Be a people person and read as much about film and watch as much film as you can.

Note, however: if your goal is truley to make Oscar movies, give up. Not that it's impossible, but it is indicative of the completely wrong mindset. If your goal is notoriety and fame, there are much more lucrative and easier ways. If you love telling stories visually, on screen, then pursue film.

to die? you'd have to drink at least 750ml per day, I'd reckon, but that would probably start creeping up towards 1000ml as the addiction increased

>>18566261
so basically your whole life has to be devoted to it? lol

>>18566270
I mean, yeah, people with that level of addition literally wake up in the middle of the night shaking and have to take a shot to get back to sleep. you stay drunk 24/7. your cells actually need alcohol to function properly, which is why you die if you stop

Wtf

This shit Is basic math

>>18566252
I ask this, because honestly I'm just frustrated with how she handled this with me, saying I don't know math and all that.

I'm a college student, and I've been doing math for most of my life. I mean, what right does she have?

420chan?
Isn't that place fucking dead?! LMAO

>>18566206
First off wtf is people recenly asking for drug taking advice here. And second, 1500 of paracetamol is going to fuck you up real bad. I don't know why you'd want to combine antidepressants and weight loss pills with an antiinflamatory and antifebrile drug. Seriously don't see the point. If are a fit person probly will get a hell of a diahrrea and stomachace and sweats from the combination.

>>18566194
I know it hurts but your mom is literally insane. She's a two face bitch. That is probably jealous of you because you're young and pretty. It might seem like a meme but older women can become vultures. I know she was really important and cared about you. But now she doesn't. You will have to accept that and move forward. Femnon it will be hard but you can do it. Also find a new support structure. Do try to chase her for love. She won't be giving it.

Photo of my eye that night, he told my mom it "was fake and just to get her away from him and spend money on me" ????
I couldn't even go out and get my own because it was midnight and no stores carrying allergy meds were open and I knew she had some of my old ones

>>18566213
I don't think she is jealous, she tries to buy me things to make up for her behavior with her husband all the time. I literally have to tell her that money and objects isn't what I want. I don't know. I just feel broken.
At one point she admitted that his "behavior needed to change" and "things would be changing and she misses me so much."
but they never did. and I am left feeling worthless and torn apart.

I miss middle school

Better to end up in a hospital bed than be a pussy like your friends.
What kind of "friends" wont even back you up in a fight.
Fucking pussys.

You were ready to start a fight over spilt water.

Like to take risks eh? Enjoy getting your girlfriend pregnant and makeing her a single mother when you inevitably leave out of shame and anger. Because takeing unnecessary risk is run.

I was in a one year relationship, and a three year relationship where they were on the pill. Never pulled out, no demon spawns. Milage may vary

OP, you're either being overly dramatic or you're telling the truth. If you're telling the truth, forward his "nasty emails" to his boss, as that's the most obvious move. He's the one who dug his own grave by harassing students via email. If you're unwilling to report behavior that's deserving of termination then nothing will be done. Make the changes you want to see.

You say that "the university won't do shit" but how do you know that? Did you try?

>>18566099
just report him , literally if he's this much of an asshole other students will back you on this.

Uhhhh report him to the school and threaten him with harassment charges/ restraining order.

Weed isn't physically addictive. It's just a matter of stopping.

Alcohol and nicotine are both physically addictive with marked withdrawal effects. with those, it's a matter of scaling down. The most effective strategy is to scale down and keep to your schedule and goals.

Some people find cold turkey better, but that's up to personal choice. ultimately, there's no 12 step program, no pill, no quick fix for it. You just have to pull up your big boy pants and quit the bullshit. It's mind over matter. It's the only way to do it.

Always remember: If you continue in the direction you're going, you'll end up where you're headed.

>>18566100
With the weed, I know it's not physically addictive but I've come to a pattern of using it to curb anxiety so it is somewhat addicting to me because I don't know any other way of coping at this point.

>>18566114
If you're taking it as medicine, why do you consider it a "bad habit"?

Figure yourself out and then make some decisions. Maybe you have the willpower to control your anxiety without drugs, and maybe you don't. If you're doing these "bad habits" because of some other problem in your life, then surely it should come as no surprise to you that you should resolve those underlying issues first.

>>18566064
I dunno, just for leave it for a week and see what happens.

The swelling is only minor, so you'll be fine.

>>18566064
Take a sniff. If it doesnt smell like rotten / infection you are probably ok. And of course you should follow your doctor instructions.

Studying should be a major change in your life. Maybe enoguh to spur you on.

Sure, it will give me motivation, but then again:
>was riding the bus
>someone was with his gf, a bit older than me
>she's all affectionate to him, doing all cute kind of things

I was so fucking jealous. I never had a girl care for me so much as much as she seemed to.

I feel like I am missing out on something...

>>18566041

>I want someone to support me emotionally,
>i keep o nsearchign for a girl to provide me with affection

wowza, well there's your first problem. not how relationships work, particularly for men.

I can't get a fixed sched job, I have no qualifications and my parent is preventing me from getting one. I live in a shit third world country so moving out is not an option since the minimum wage is like $8 a day (but in reality the pay is $2-4 a day if you dont have basic qualifications such as; at least 2 yrs of college) so even if I do get a job if I move out, it wont be even enough to pay basic rent. I wanted to start a small business but I have no capital to start with. So here are my current options:
>wait another year living in a shit situation and maybe.. just maybe, things will get better with my parent and I can get back to school and have a normal life
>or just kill myself because I know that in all these years nothing has change and I might as well give in to my despair and let go
If I do go with option 2 I need advice how to do it because Im leaning towards it and I just cant handle this feeling of being powerless anymore. I have no friends that could help me so getting help wont be an option. If anyone can suggest something better I would appreciate it.

>>18566039
Therapy. School counselors are glorified house moms that know jack shit about the real world.
