Im learning to make my own incense
Guys I need help (don't we all),
I'm clearing out 20 years worth of stuff from my loft and apart from the usual junk, I've come across literally 100s of exercise books from school.
I've been burning most of them in a metal waste bin out-back but just throwing the book into the flames doesn't always burn through. So I'm now having to rip individual pages out but this is now going to take days to do.
Shredding isn't an option since I only have a domestic shredder which does 1 page at a time plus has a thermal cut-out, plus...

First and last bump before I spend next week ripping books
>>16988545
If its sensitive data that you want to get rid of, I would recommend ripping it of by yourself.
For all the other things I would just dumb them in a bag and throw them away.
Use a miter saw to cut the spines instead of tearing pages individually
Alright, so I'm graduating in May with CS degree, 3.4 gpa, from run of the mill state uni. My first job offer was for 40k, but according to google, entry level gets ~61k average. Given that this could easily vary based on area, I double checked salary.com for my area, which was only a few thou off with salary for software developer 1 around 59k average (bottoming out at 46k for the lowest 10%). Now, I'm no hotshot, otherwise I'd know I'd be worth average at least. That being said, while 40k is much more than I've ever made in my life, they are clearly...

Is it enough money for how you want to live?
Will you not hate this job?
If yes and yes, I would say take it. Nothing stopping you from looking for better while working.
>>16988368
First off, don't listen to your mother. They don't know anything about this and will only drag you down. I've been told by my family that CS was shit, that I should quit my career and get any shit-tier job ASAP, and so on and so forth so many times man. If your parents run a company then listen to them, but if your parents "aren't used to such high numbers": congratulations, you did better than them, now move on and find your own answer.
Secondly, when you choose your job in the...

I say you should take the offer. At least you'll have something to put on your resume when you decide to work for another company later on. You should only negotiate if you think you're an exceptional candidate.
hey there /adv/ hope you’re all doing good!
I hope this will become kind of an general useful advice thread on how to become a better version of yourself because maybe some other people can find some good advice here as well...

Buuuuuuuump
really, no one?
how do you get tested for stds in the uk? I am gay and had unprotected sex with another man
You go to your GP and ask to be tested for STDs. Alternatively, there are testing clinics operated by various charities and advocacy groups for gay people.
how could you be so stupid
>>16988268
There's two choices.. You could book a routine appointment with your GP and have her do it. Alternativley if you don't want to tell the doctor who's been looking after you since birth that you've been getting rough bumsex and begging some guy to fill your intestines with his massive spermload, you could go to a family planning clinic. Like the doctors, it's free to use and confidential, so no one else will ever know that you've contracted galloping cock fungus unless you choose to tell them.
So, I need some help, big time.

As long as you don't have a kid with her, what's the problem?
>>16988156
pretty sure I've seen this plot many times before, from games to comics
I would do anything to be in your position, yet you're sitting there with indecision
jesus dude what are you waiting for

I'm trying to re-invent myself /adv/
I've been in a bad way the past few years, and decided to put my foot down over the winter and fix myself. I bought new, better fitting clothes, I'm going to be buying a new car, and I've been working out about 2-3 times a week since December.
That's where I need help. As you can see, I'm a skinny guy. I'm not trying to get huge or anything, I just want more muscles definition. I can tell that my arms have gotten stronger since December. When I touch them they feel more "full" and...

Find a YMCA, find a dirty old powerlifting gym, find a planet fitness, drive if you have to. If you want to make real gains on your chest you're going to need to be working with real weight. More importantly, you're going to need to be working with equipment. I didn't start to get my chest looking less flabby until I was consistently doing decline and incline benches, using a Smith machine to hammer out weak points in my form, and doing pull overs. The chest is an area that requires significant, specialized...

I've looked around for smaller gyms, but everything within 20-30minutes of me is just big health Clubs.. fucking rich people.. everything is $80+/m
>>16988117
Then I suppose you could go on Craigslist looking for equipment, but you're probably going to spend hundreds. Your other option would be to hit the cardio very hard and bring down body fat, but living in the 10% range is a hell of a lot tougher than driving an hour and a half three times a week.
I'm like this guy, but it's been maybe 5 years I've lived like this also I shut down all social media
What do i do
>>16988050
Keep it that way.
what music u liks?
Who cares
You got memes
I've been a professional meme artist for about 8 years now. Long from now when I have passed from this world, my memes will live on. Sure, I have made them all anonymously, but that's part of the magic.
Hey /adv/, I'm feeling really shitty right now... I have a bad GPA (like 2.0) and I need advice on how I can possibly get a job.
Can you guys give me some pointers? I feel like a fucking failure and no one will ever let me get a job with my grades.
What do/did you study?
>>16988041
There are plenty of jobs that don't give a shit about a photoshopped piece of paper with your name on it.
>>16988512
This is true OP, I suggest construction it pays well after you get the hang of it, and is pretty much open to everyone who seems reasonably fit.
See ex high school gf last week at the grocery store. Chat her up for a bit. She still looks good. Friends with her on FB for a while now.
Should I message her and try to bang her again, or let it be?
My sex life is pretty shitty right now.If you say yes message her how long should I wait to do it? Been over a week already. I was hoping she would have messaged me.
Self bump
>>16987764
Sure, what's the worst that happens, you keep not getting laid?
>>16988566
Should I message her soon or let it wait a while? Too soon seems stalkerish, waiting too long seems like I've been thinking about our chance encounter since it happened x number of days ago
I've had 2 girlfriends before. One of them became pregnant without knowing who the father was. I should've banged her, but I didn't. What do virgin men feel like in their 20's? Do you guys feel like you're being left out?
Yes, we are missing girls in there prime. Sux man.
>>16987658
I would just buy some pussy. Money is all I have anyway.
>>16987647
Not really, I feel no pressure about it, don't feel like I need to "get rid of it" and I'm fine with that. I recognize I'm not ready for a relationship right now and so don't actively look for one, not to say I would be able to get one even if I tried, having the typical 4chan autismo and all.
Started dating my best friend after dreaming about it for years but the literal moment we get "official" is the moment I start dreading our time together and it hasn't been getting any better through the course of 6 months. Every minor display of affection makes my stomach drop, what the fuck.
Please answer me seriously: Am I retarded? I should just break up, right?
>>16987565
Yeah this is common. You put her on a pedestal all this time, hoping for the chance to be with her. But now that you got her, the reality has set in and you see that she's a real person just like anyone else. She's got flaws, contrary to the perfect ideal you had conjured in your head.
So, you can either spare yourselves the trouble, break up, and attempt to salvage the friendship (even though that's really awkward and most likely won't work out) or you can realize that nobody is perfect...

>Every minor display of affection makes my stomach drop
Going to have to expand on this, OP
What exactly is wrong, is it that you discovered you really, really don't actually like her? Are you excessively worried/anxious about fucking it up? Do you not know how to express your deep affection? What's the problem?
>>16987586
I see. Never thought about it that way, actually. Thanks for replying, I'll consider my options carefully.
>>16987626

Hello.
Who can communicate with me on English? I learn English and I need an experience.
Sorry if I wrong a subject.
In all likelihood, you are planning on going to America, but you studied the England version
>>16987554
Can not I speak English version in America?
Generally, for start, I want learn English for reading books, watching films and playing video game that do not have localization on my language.
Try to find sites with fast flowing English speaking chat rooms.
I know this sounds trivial but thinking about it has been thinking about it has been taking up a lot of my time. I have a job a few months amd all my money has gone towards an apartment, car payments, insurance, food.
I feel I should be spending money on things that will benefit me like a new suit and shoes for work.
>>16987371
mental health is important too OP. unless a suit is absolutely necessary for your job, get the PS4. otherwise you will feel like you're going insane at your job. I know because I work at a company and every once in a while I need to just buy something fun or I don't feel human anymore.
>>16987393
Agreed that morale is important.
If you really do need better clothes for work, is it possible to split the difference, getting somewhat less expensive clothing AND something that would be fun for you but cost less (or put that money away towards a PS4 a bit later)? Or does it really have to be a suit?
>>16987406
holy shit why do you need me to answer this? yes that is possible, unless of course your job demands you need a suit ASAP.
ive found myself slipping between liking her and at other times i want nothing to do with her because shes so fucking annoying and unfunny but on the very odd occasion shes serious, i love her. I have weight the pros and cons and realised shes not the one for me but i keep falling back into the loop. What do i do/
>>16987294
Tell us some things that she does that annoys you/makes you love her
>>16987294
nobody's perfect
Are you in a relationship?
