Hi /adv/ !
Guy here, 19 years old
So first of all, to put it clear, i'm not talking about equality in a geopolitical way, of course some people were born more "privileged" (yeah, i just used that word...) and all, but rather in a social way, among peers, among a same community, a same country, etc. You get me.
So this afternoon i had a conversation with two of my friends. One is a guy, Sam, and he's a very positive guy, very sociable, etc. Great guy. And the other one is a girl, Axelle, she has pretty low self-esteem. I'm pretty much...

>"All animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others"
>>17008234
neither is entirely correct. your female friend is more accurate. people arent equal. someone looks at two people and automatically knows which one is hotter. he talks to them and immediately finds one to be more fun.
its just the way bonding works. that being said, everyone is equal in the sense that you have the same opportunities to change. no one judges you on 'social skills' really, but rather the type of person you are. if you are a good person, and a fun person, it shines through despite...

Of course people aren't "equal." Some people have many talents, some people have very few. Some people are widely considered attractive, some are widely considered ugly. Some people are rich, some people are poor. Some people are smart, some are stupid. And all grey areas in between.
Nobody's "equal," that's a ridiculous concept. When people talk about equality, they're speaking in a LEGAL sense, they're talking about giving everyone equal OPPORTUNITIES to live and love and succeed. That doesn't mean everyone WILL succeed,...

I'm male and I've feel like I'm on the verge of crying most of the time. But even when I allow myself to let it out, nothing happens.
It's been four months. What can I do?
>>17008182

So I'm currently doing an exchange and I leave next Tuesday but the exchange parents are very pissed because I lost the keys and spent too much time on my computer. I feel very bad and I want to make it up to them or something

What can i do to pass a drug test for a job, can i cheat my way in? If not what can i do to speed up the process of passing one ps last time i smoked was 4 days ago
When do you have to take it? I recommend niacin and 120 oz of water a day. Do not take niacin day of test, drink at least 64 oz of water before taking the test day of. Make sure you are peeing clear
>>17008189
Not any time soon, i havent triex to get a job yet because i know my piss is dirty, i just cant stop wanting to smoke, but it has to be clean asap so i can be sure ill pass a test
>>17008166
What kind of job are you trying to get? Most places don't test. Shit, I worked at a youth detention facility, and I didn't even get tested.
Parents kicking me out of house
I'm currently a sec guard which isn't enough to live on
I also have a bs in nursing but I failed the nclex for my license
So what are my options here? I can study hard for a month and hope I pass again but nursing jobs are hard to get. Maybe a military one? On the other hand I can look for a better job but high pay is hard to find with my shitty resume
What should I do I'm also anxious and my mind is scared
>>17008131
The military will take care of all your needs. it isn't for everyone though i did 9 years in the air force and got out. some situiations the military will put you through are completly unfair and you will have to suck your shit up and deal with it because they pay you good money for it.
>>17008131
No 12 an hour is enough to live on your own you're just being a bitch
Why are they kicking you out? Most parents say that as a threat and then when you begin to rage in a fit about how they ruined your like etc bla bla bla they stop threatening you.
In 3 months I'm buying a laptop to use for school and home etc. I'm in the UK and need the names of brands that are the best combination of good quality and value for money. I'm hovering around the 300-400 pound region so I won't be buying a gaming laptop. Any brands like HP that are great for both games and everything else?
Anyone?
I have an Asus. I think it's pretty good. I use it for work and mostly browsing the net, but it can run games fairly well.
>>17008231
Seconded. Asus is great quality vs. price.
Alright, so Ill break it down for you /adv/.
I'm in a 8 year old relationship that has all the credentials of becoming a happy family, problem is, it aint. We have a beautiful boy, 3 years of age, a good home, and we both have collage degree with steady jobs in the same area of expertise.
The problem, as I see it, is that I get just about 0 respect from her. Its all about doing it her way, not the other way around, no , never!
The main thing here to take in is that I have changed a lot during the years we have been together, just to make things work,...

I might ad that I live in Sweden, yes I know, land of the "equal sex". So I don't expect anyone to understand who lives in a country with the mentality that "well, whats the problem, just smack her around a bit" or "What? You mean your woman is educated?!?" or "You need to man up, and make her do the woman stuff, while you stretch out on the couch!".
Its thinking like that that has made Sweden the nr1 top divorce country in the world. Because the females living...

Of course she's going to be a bitch to you
how has it been in the beginning of the relationship? what changed?
i get that quiet alot. the woman runs the family. they are like mini-dictators, commanding their husbands around.
i don't really know where this is coming from. probably from her being threated like a princess all her life, having the whole world revolving around HER. may i ask what her family background is? has she EVER faced ANY difficulties in life?

I hate to break it to you OP, but these things are ridiculously hard to win. There is one piece in every set that is essentially impossible to find. The people that have the piece you need will also have the pieces you have. So they wouldn't really be inclined to make a deal. I tried for years when I was a teenager and the most I won was $20.
>>17008012
they actually tend to break them up geographically from what I heard, so the best way to get them is to do what OP does, collaborate online to see who gets what pieces and flil in the blanks.
>>17008059
>they actually tend to break them up geographically
Actually for about a decade they weren't "broken up" at all. Some higher up at the company which prints the pieces would pull all of the high value ones and give them away to people as he saw fit. None of the big winners from that time period were random people who pulled the pieces off of a french fry carton.
It's really foolish to trust things like this. As another example, did you really think that...

Looking for serious life advice.
So I'm an 18 year old girl who's been living at her boyfriend's house for the past couple months. I graduate in June. They won't let me live there past graduation and frankly I don't want too.
My single father recently quit his job to go off grid. I respected his decision and while he invited me to move with him I wanted to graduate and felt it unhealthy for me to move. I need to move into my own place but I work a minimum wage job while trying to go to school.
Has anyone been in this position before?
I'm...

anyways, you have a fallback option of living with your dad if things go wrong, so take a change. You'll probably need to find a second job, yes, income is crucial. But if you find a place with roommates it'll be a lot cheaper to live, and you can get by pretty okay if you're willing to cut down on expenses for awhile - cheap food can be found if you cook for yourself, alternate transportation if you don't have any, etc.
There's no time like the present to become self-sufficient,...

So yeah, you'll definitely want another job at the very least.
/adv/, my bf and I are going to meet with his ex gf that has been pretty mean to him (i never met her before) and I'm wondering how should i behave or what should i wear for that.
>she became a sjw after she found herself a cuck Carl type of bf.
depends on what your goals are and the context is, how insecure you are, etc.
generally though you're going to want to take the high road at all times, keep your smugness at the fact that you've won under the surface. If you cause conflict or drama, your BF will probably be mad at you, regardless of her role in it (I know I would be). If you let any b.s. from the ex just wash over you and let it go (like a mature adult would), then you'll be fine.
exes should be seen as opportunities, not threats. In reality it's hard to do, but in the right...

Before I started dating my boyfriend I slept around a bit and cheated on a few partners. I'm really dedicated and in love with my current boyfriend and I want to get married but my past actions really affect him in ways I never thought theyd affect someone. He says the mete thought of all the sexual deviance is enough to room his day in some cases. Which is fine, different people have different opinions on sex but I just want to help him when hes going through a slump like this I want to be there and support him High I feel like there's nothing I can do about things...

You're not compatible with him. Best to talk to him about breaking it off.
>>17007909
You don't meet a standard that he has, and it's hard for him because he likes you.
He sees sex/slutty behavior/cheating as a bad thing. Even if you don't, there's nothing you can do to change his opinion on that.
Think about it this way- what if you were in love with a boy and you found out that he had murdered someone before you met? You would be upset because that past action reflects a part of his character that you have not seen for yourself, and that you dislike.
Now obviously...

How can he know that you are not just in a "slump" in your cheating ways? I'm not saying what you have done in the past is wrong in any objective sense, but my personal feelings about cheating is that it can be the most emotionally damaging thing to do to a person. You may very well love him and will never cheat again, but just the thought that my wife could do that to me would be grounds to ruin my day and the entire relationship, too.
I sort of hope he breaks up with you so that you can both...

I've pranked called a former employer off an on for awhile. Eventually the company realized it was the same number when I was calling them over and over again.
Today I received a phone call from the police. I lied to them, but my lies didn't make sense. Now I'm worried about being arrested and going to prison. What should I do /b/?
>>17007887
Please help. I'm freaking out. I never expected a criminal complaint to arise from this.
>>17007899
Well if they call you in you better lawyer up. Hell if you can afford to do it now you should probably start talking to a lawyer.
You're retarded and deserve everything coming to you because you didn't *67
Should I take a term off of school to take a Japanese Language course?
I do all my college online, intl biz major, sophomore. A local school is starting language classes soon, but I'm worried doing both will be too much. The college and language classes are both 8 weeks and both are ending and stopping at the same time, so that matches up. I recently joined a gym and yeah, worried it's all too much at once since I've been putting off the gym lately cause too tired just from being called into work on my days off.
>>17007851
>should i take a term off of school to take a japanese language course
why? you asking this as if it has some inherit value.
if you want to take it, why? we cant understand your point of view unless you explain it to us.
otherwise you might as well ask
>should i take a semester off to just take an art class?
WHY. probably no. but first WHY?
>>17008083
>why? you asking this as if it has some inherit value.
I want to work at an international American-Japan company.
>>17008101
there arent that many. and the truth is that an 8 week course wont do much to help you. i studied it for two years. learning a language is an immersive experience. you gotta be 100% in. and the fact that you dont think you can take it on top of your classes tells me you wont get far with it.
your call though
Alright /ADV/, I need advice.
I have this ex, that broke up with me while I was in a hospital after trying to kill myself, she put me in rehab and kicked me out of the house while in rehab. This was in July, I just now got back most of my stuff, but I'm missing a vintage guitar, a new guitar, all of my pots and pans, three old phone handsets and a ton of blu-rays.
She's ignoring my e-mails, texts and phone calls to the point where I'm about ready to go to her workplace or get some cops to escort me to the house.
What do, /ADV/?

You try calling the police on the non-emergency line?
>>17007828
Here's one guitar, a 1962 Gibson LG-0
>>17007828
The other guitar: a Breedlove Passport.
The phone handsets are a Samsung Captivate, Nexus 4 and Nexus 5. The pots and pans are a hand me down family set with two calphalon non stick skillets and two cast iron skillets. The catch is that I can only verify purchase of one guitar and the phone handsets.
Straight to the point.
