With the little information we have on vaping/electronic cigarettes how bad is it to smoke them? I am really drawn to the lower nicotene (1.5 mg) and like that it is vapor rather than smoke. Was not a smoker before trying these. What's the likelyhood of dying from this ?
I imagine you could possibly die.
From what I've heard, compared to cigarette smoke, vaping has less tar but more formaldehyde.
There haven't been a whole lot of studies on the matter though. Long term health implications from vaping are still largely unknown.
I am trying to quit for the 2nd time. On day 3 now.
I seems to not give you the shortness of breath and cough that smoking does, but it gave me sharp pains that were kind of scary, and seemed to make my level of motivation and energy worse compared to smoking. Just constantly being sedated by nicotine puts you in a strange space.

Go out with her, now or whenever you feel better and explain her how you feel. Tell her you enjoy doing your stuff and if you get back together you won't have too much time for her. If she agrees get back together. If she starts being annoying/clingy/whatever tell her to fuck off.
I would normally tell you to just do whatever you want, but you sound like you have no idea what you want so you might as well give it a try. If you don't like it you can always break it up.

You're right, I really have no clue what I want. In some aspects I really miss her, in others I absolutely don't.
I was actually thinking of giving dating a try again recently until she contacted me two weeks ago and threw out the idea that we could get back together.
DON'T DO IT!
you are young and have many more formative years ahead of you. spending those years with someone who wants to control your time and who you spend it with will just make you regret everything about the relationship. even though there was a dumb reason for breaking up, it's still a relationship in the past. you two are both different people now and dating will just be an odd mix of nostalgia for what once was and resentment of how the both of you have grown.
Gonna self-hospitalize and spend a month in a psychiatric unit for about a month. Ask me anything.

Excuse the redundancy.

Why exactly? What treatment regimen are you planning to undergo? ECT i presume?

make sure to commit a bunch of criminal acts before you go. That way you can plead insanity and walk away
I've had this cat for 5 weeks and every day I think about taking him back to the shelter.
Will this persist? Everyone says he's just getting used to me. I don't like the adjustments I've had to make, he always wants my attention, even if I pet him for 15 minutes the moment I get up he's meowing and following me. I can't even use the computer, posting on my phone.
>>17179544
Where do you live? I'll take the cat from you of you're close, sounds adorable/10
don't be an asshole. that cat loves you. it will get used to your routine, don't worry. i have 4 cats and each has a totally different personality and needs. give him attention and then make it clear that you're doing your own thing after by gently shooing him away and ignoring him. he'll eventually relax and sleep or do his own thing.
Aw. Sounds like you ended up with a really nice cat. But if you don't want to or are unable to give him the attention he seems to need, you might want to rehome him. A lot of cat lovers experience the opposite problem where their cats are too distant. You might not need to take him back to the shelter, though. You could just directly rehome him.
I was wondering if someone wanted to help motivate me. I'll give you my number, email, and total control of my life.
email is enough, I like asyncronous communication better anyways.
Could offer threema or snapchat aswell

Since getting a tattoo I have little interest in doing things and have lost interest in the hobbies I used to have. How do I get back to normal?
try other things
and I don't see how getting a tattoo might have been the cause
>>17179456
the fuck? what do you mean? how does getting a tattoo make you lose interest in hobbies?
>>17179456
>Since getting a tattoo I have little interest in doing things and have lost interest in the hobbies I used to have.
Met this great woman.
We click like crazy and the sex has been fantastic.
So here's the thing. When we are going at it, she'll start calling me "daddy".
This does not really bother me, i'm just more curious as to why girls do this?
>>17179443
Its her thing. People have things and thats her thing.
There is no reason to read into it any further than that.
>>17179443
All girls are looking for traits from their father since it was the first man they were loved by and loved. For example my friend likes guys with a deep voice since her father has a deep voice and she lives with him. Now some girls go deeper then that and call others daddy since they have daddy issues
>>17179445
>>17179452
Thanks for the input.
Like I said, it does not bother me. I'm just genuinely curious.
Keep the thoughts coming!
How do I stop being every girl's journal?

by not pretending you wanna be their friend

try tindr instead

When they're talking about something you don't care about, you ignore them. It's that simple.
>>17179425
You stop putting yourself in that position, obviously.
I don't mind hearing out a friend and letting them vent, but you're the epitome of a guy in the friend zone.
First thing, stop that FaceTime shit. Secondly, stop trying to be the nice guy. You can make people like you and respect you just the same without making yourself out to be a pushover
Playing games competitively doesn't bring me happiness. I get too obsessed about it, and I get anxiety and I think I'm worthless with every lose.
I won't ever get to a pro level in any game, as I dont have the talent nor the right attitude to improve. And even if I do, I really think the life of a videogame proplayer is nothing to be jealous of, it's pretty shit to be honest.
I don't really love the games I play competitively, but I just see a chance to get glory or fame. For example, right now I'm playing Overwatch because it'll...

like I said, this games shit fills most of my free time, so I dont know how to replace it.
Your the kind of person that should stick to single player games. I lost a freind like you because I was better at Halo, Smash, and Call of Duty, and I'm a casual. You should try some one on one gaming, plenty of great stuff is out. Go master Spelunky or something. Pokemon is turn based and a simple meta, you can destroy noobs online all day if you learn it. You just aren't cut out for that type of game, just walk away.
Who's it like to be a farmer?
I'm currently going to college and just taking the basic classes and thinking about maybe becoming one since according to my teacher they need some younger people in it.
Is it stressful and can it give me time to focus on hobbies?
I'm a techy type of person, can anything techy be applied to farming? Robotic farm?
Also forgot to add, but my teacher doesn't mind teaching me the ropes since it gives him an extra hand
>Is it stressful and can it give me time to focus on hobbies?
Yes and no. I grew up in a farm town. You'll be stressed as shit, physically tired at all times, and have little to no time for hobbies. Not much "techy" shit to be applied.
>>17179377
How is it stressful? because lack of money, or because of the weather
How do i stop being an asshole /adv/? I feel like I haven't always been a dick it's just the things in my life that weren't exactly pleasant turned me into one and while I might not of had a problem with it at the time I now realize it's hard to start new relationships and even harder to keep them because of it. A lot of my humor is me pointing out flaws in people/things and making fun of them, and my personality for the most of the day is negative I hardly ever have a nice thing to say, partly because I don't know how and mostly because I don't...

Don't use "of" when you need to use "have". Today's grammar tip. See, being an asshole can be good. You assist others in becoming better people.
keep your insulting shit to yourself and smile more. you're not funny. it reeks of teenage one-upmanship and narcissism.
it's that easy
i used to be an asshole, now have friends.
>>17179384
I've tried that I just keep quiet the whole time because I don't what to say
I can't help that a trait is ingrained in me, i just wish I could be the nice extroverted guy that everybody finds hilarious but I'm not
So over the last three months my cat lost his appetite and gradually went from 11lbs to 4.6lbs. during this time my vet suspected that it was some sort of throat infection that was preventing him from eating. My cat in the last week began acting very lethargic and no longer had the energy to jump up onto his perch. I just got back from the vet and he diagnosed that my cat had complete renal failure and would go comatose within a week and die. I just scheduled an appointment to have my cat euthanized Thursday morning and am not sure what to expect. Do any of you have experience...

It's going to hit you pretty hard and you're going to feel like shit for a while. Even if you didnt absolutely LOVE your cat, it's still going to be a hole in your daily life for a while.

Literally why. Cats are assholes I'm not even memeing. Another reason to not like them down below.

Had to put two cats down in the past year for cancer and general old age. It sucks, but all you can do is hold their paw while they slowly lose consciousness and die. Ask if the vet offers a paw imprint, it's what we got for our two cats.
Hey /adv/. This is my first visit to this board but I think my question belongs here.
The apartment complex in which I live has now instituted a system in which me must create a login and password to browse the internet, and I am considering using a VPN to protect my privacy.
I was hoping you all could give me general advice about using proxies, and also give recommendations on which VPNs are good - and feel free to tell me if my privacy concerns are perhaps unfounded.
Pic unrelated.
>apartment complex
>you're not paying for your own internet
you live in a dorm
>>17179329

I live in an off-campus apartment that has internet included. I could get my own internet, but I still have to pay for theirs. It has some affiliation with the campus so it might as well be a dorm.

So I graduate high school in a few weeks and the only thing I have planned after is a summer job and some gigs as a photographer that are paying alright money, but nothing long term. Thoughts?
Don't join the army. Why not just go with the gig and photography and take a year or two to work and find something you're interested in enough to study?
If you really want to join you could be a combat journalist I guess.
GI Bill is good, but if that's the only reason you want to do it I wouldn't
>>17179300
you do realize the amount of cases of PTSD after joining the military and going to war right? it's not COD and the people who seem to come back perfectly fine are often sociopaths themselves.
