Go to a recruiter at your college.
I didn't even legitimately know what I was signing up for, they were just like, "hey do you like talking to people?" and now here I am.
Forewarning though for every hour I do my job it's about 5 hours of paperwork.
It's awesome, and I'd recommend it to anyone, I get to travel all the time, learn about new cultures, learn new languages, and do things 99% of other people never will, but it's exhausting. I'll probably do it another year then go back to grad school.

what type of recruiter?

usually people dont come to my college with a banner saying "spy recruitment"

>>9704147
I mean they'll be from the CIA/DIA/State department or something like that.
If they don't actually come to your school, talk to a career councilor and tell them you're interested in working in Human Intelligence; which is the actual name of the career field. I just said spy for the sake of it being what the majority of people know it as.
Most of the three letters have internships that they can more than likely hook you up with. It's actually not that hard of a field to get into. Just be sociable, be able to think quickly on your feet, and be able to retain tons of information under stress. That's really all they're looking for.

>>9704154
Could you tell me more if you are allowed to? Like what do you do? Do you have to know other languages? How sociable do you have to be, etc?

>>9704208
I mean it's really a whole wide range of things that you do, it'd honestly just be quicker if you looked at the wiki page for that, it's not exactly secret. But essentially anything and everything you could imagine that would involve gathering information via speaking to someone.

But yes, you have to know other languages, and be able to easily pick up languages. And you have to be extremely sociable and gregarious to succeed, which I'm lucky at because I'm great at bullshitting, in large part thanks to 4chan since it gives me a shit ton of worthless knowledge about a shit ton of worthless things. If you're not social, and you're not willing to go out there and fake it until you make it, you won't enjoy it and you won't be any good.

I'm not quite sure what happened. A seven day bender culminated in me being rushed off in an ambulance with my front tooth missing. I spent the night in hospital and awoke to the sound of a woman howling "kill me!" over and over again. The two close friends I was with claim that they don't know what happened but their recollection for the other events surrounding the night are quite solid so I suspect they've been hiding something from me.

Anyway, that was over 8 years ago so I don't suppose it matters anymore.

nice try FBI.

I worked in an office, operating a special computer. My second post was much more mundane legal admin work.

My age you say, my age? proclaimed, askingly, the old man, imitating or rather repeating the question that he thought had been posed to him. "No one asked you, old man", Directionless Dave said in response but the old man simply ignored him and smiled wisely or idiotically, which response Directionless Dave categorized as probably appropriate because he wasn't good as speaking. He then thought "all cats are grey by night" and chuckled at the disarming ingenuinity of this little sentence, which already appears in Hegel and so on and so on, to disprove the basic assumptions of scientism but Dave also realized that it wasn't applicable here and the old man was in no related to or representative of anything but just an old man.
The old man then implied that people and men under the age of 30 didn't have anything interesting to say and even if they did, they would say it wrong which Dave who was only 25 years old thought was a scandal/an affront to his basic humanity but was unsure who to call upon to stand up for his rights/dignity in this case as he couldnt do it himself
But suddenly Dave and the old man who was now intent on saving face and not being called an opponent of human rights both realized there was a UNICEF office nearby to which they now both hurried, the old man's age which he had previously been proud of now a hindrance which he tried to overcome by throwing sharp or annoying objects at Directionless Dave's feet who were infront of his own as the younger man was clearly faster than the old
As they reached the office at similar times because the old man's strategy of slowing Dave down had worked they had to realize, saddeningly, that it was all closed and shut up and there were wooden boards over the windwos and doors and a big sign saying "Oh the Humanity" in red letters that looked the MS Word font where the letters look like they are written in blood

It was objectively the best choice for both, anon. Now she can find someone better for her, and I can enjoy the dating process over and over again without going in to deep while having more time for the stuff I love too.

Was too inexperienced at start and didn't know what I wanted. It wouldn't work. The alternative would be going full comfy NEET, dragging her down with my faggotory and then eventually ending it all either way because I'd want more variation.

Love is all about wanting the best for your partner, no? Being together with someone who has totally different goals and expectations from life, is not the best recipe for a long lasting relationship and more as she wanted. We were open from the start about our wishes for the future but too young to really consider the implications. She tried to make it work. I tried to make it work. Eventually it was obvious for both that it won't, so someone had to do the first step for a better future. She's way too fucking nice (like, getting therapy over being too nice) and would probably stick to my dumb ass through everything but it'd be like taking care of a blind, quadriplegic dog that doesn't even bark. Wouldn't it be objectively better for her and the dog, to put the poor thing down and getting a new one eventually?

Obviously I thought about my own future too, since muh art and giving a great person the attention she deserves is just too much. Shit, even now distant friendships and fwbs are a pain to manage, it hurts not having time for someone who needs it, and not having someone who needs it, solves that. I'd rather die a alone after living for me and my goals, than in the arms of someone who loves me after living to satisfy them. Which totally makes me a selfish immature shit ... hence more reasons not to burden a great person with that.

P&V are to russian literature is what fagles is to the greeks—an oprah-sponsored meme. the best translation i've found of Brothers Karamazov is Ignat Avsey's for Oxford World Classics. for Crime and Punishment, it's widely accepted that David McDuff's is GOAT.

my in-laws actually helped get P&V together, which is why i can shit-talk them to their faces. good folk all in all; i can tell they're academics at heart. but fuck their shitty translations, seriously.

Actually, I change the thing about me.
I am scared of sex because I've never been with another woman than the one I lost my virginity to, and I had trouble getting and keeping an erection with her, so I get sexual anxiety and am scared of getting intimate with anyone else, which is why I haven't since. But as recent as 2 days ago I could have had sex with a girl I'm in love with, but didn't make a move.
She's about to move away in less than a month and I may never see her again but she's the girl of my dreams.

Go and see a pro? She might help you build up some confidence and then you'll finally be able to get on with your life. Unless you're a puritan sort at which case I respect your stance but you are probably screwed (and not in the way that you'd like).

Even those nice prim and proper girls want a good lay behind all the keeping up appearances business. Go and see a pro a few times and learn how to sling it like you need to or watch every Beatrice in your life leave for a man that can make their legs turn to jelly.
