"...Because exploration and interaction is about asking questions."
Sup /adv/. Does this sentence look gramatically correct for you?
>>16981151
grammatically*
also a bump
>>16981151
ARE* about asking questions.
>>16981168
Can you elaborate please? Don't know why, but my gut screams that I should put "is" there.
How do I win over my girlfriends friends?
They really hate me for something I did years ago. I cheated on my girl. We're still together years later, and I've been faithful since however I want to amend to them, how do I? They don't even want to talk?
I'm in for the long run, so I don't mind taking advice that'll take time to win em over
I know this feel
Some shit doesn't wash off, anon. Sorry.
> "Just be confident bro!"
> People put me down for things I have no control over, my height, being ugly, having bad hair, etc
Why do people repeat this meme?
How the hell do you get confident? I've been going to the gym, dressing well, got a good haircut but nothing I do will make a deference because on a genetic level I was doomed to fail.
>waahh people r meanies!
learn not to give a fuck, its called growing up
I suppose it depends on how you define confidence.
If it's comfort in knowing an absolute, you can be confident in the fact that everyone you know on this planet will be dead within a hundred years and a hundred years from that time, no one will remember any one of them or you.
This isn't necessarily a bad thing, either. This means that you really only have now, and you have to share the planet with these idiots, so you might as well have a lark while you're here.

I'm asking for advice. Saying "lol just grow up pussy" isn't advice.
Hi /adv/
I want to do a painting/drawing of pic related (without the trash ofc).
I only have 'til monday to do so, the problem is I have absolutely no skill in painting/drawing... Any advices to make it look good ?
>>16980959
1) use a projector
2) have it printed out on acetate at a copy shop.
3) regular tracing - very carefully and ideally against a light source (pinned to a window)
Then use what little talent you have to fill in with colour diligently and slowly.
why u wanna do this anon?
>>16980965
Oh yeah - how much money u wanna spend?
>>16980959
Try doing the grid method.
Print the picture out (kinda big) and use a pen and ruler to divide it into sections like this.
Then get your canvas and make the same grid- but make it proportionate (like if the paper is smaller than your canvas, make sure the ratio of your boxes is the same).
Then, go box by box and copy the color/light values of each little square to its corresponding square. DO NOT look at the big picture and what you "think" it should look like- copy exactly what you see.
If you do t correctly, then it will look just like the original photograph. When you're done, you can go back and add little things or make small adjustments if something looks off- but the key to this method is that you have to trust what you see and copy it exactly at first
Do guys care that I recycle nudes?
Why do you recycle them?
It's not that difficult to take a new picture
>>16981002
You underestimate the number of ducks that show up when bread crumbs are being thrown around.
Women take a nude and send it to like thirty dudes.
And yes, most guys will care if they get a recycled nude because they want something "just for them".
Easy solution : Just don't tell them you sent it to someone else, dumb ass.
>>16980941
Do you care that these nudes are probably being shared and traded?
My girlfriend has been going to the gym more often lately - she even went twice a few days ago. I don't see anything wrong with wanting to be in shape, but she has said that she wants to look something like pic related. She wants to be "buff", in her own words. I'm getting pretty worried about this because I find buff women to be fairly unattractive, especially like the girl in the pic. I'm alright with nice legs and a flat stomach, but my line is firmly drawn at buff arms and shoulders, and I don't even want to think about women with buff pectoral muscles. It gives me a visceral reaction, one that's mainly rooted in being almost entirely sexually turned off.
I've tried expressing these feelings to her, and she's receptive but says she wants to keep going to the gym and has had a set of goals in mind for a while. I respect her goals and her desire to better herself, but I'm worried about her becoming obsessed with fitness and becoming another narcissistic gym rat. I've seen it happen to too many people I grew up with; they start working out and can't stop, it becomes their life. I don't want to say things that will insult or disrespect her, but I am worried. I like her for who she is now, I don't want to be dating a she-hulk.
Has anyone been through this or something similar? Has anyone been the one going to the gym?
I'd say be prepared to either accept it if it happens and stay with her, or be prepared to end the relationship if it gets to a point that you can't stand.
>>16980844
Most women are physically incapable of building that much muscle mass naturally if they just go to the gym normally.
She's not going to get buff like that unless she's juicing or literally lives at the gym.
But going 4-5 days a week won't get those kinds of results, especially if her diet isn't 100% disciplined and geared towards muscle production.
I'd wait this out op. I doubt her goals will come to fruition, and she'll likely just be better in her health without looking like a hulk.
It might be helpful to identify why this is such a turn off for you.
Does it remind you of a man's body? Are you self conscious about her developing bigger muscles than you?
A little bit of self reflection may ease your worrying.
Are you afraid she might one day overpower you, pin you down with her feminine muscles, and force your soft cowering peepee up into her iron box?
If you major in a foreign language as a beginner at the start, how fluent will you be (in terms of CEFR) by the time you graduate?
>>16980693
You need to actually go to a place that speaks it to learn it. A huge part of learning a language is getting accustomed to the culture, too, which you'll learn by actually being there.
>>16980821
I think the degree offers exchange opportunities.
You still haven't answered my question of how fluent you will be by the time you finish the degree.
>>16980693
I'm a German major in my 3rd year, I'm probably 25% fluent
Hey /adv/, I want to become a sort of semi-hermit. I work in hospitality right now (yes okay fast food if you need to know) and it is okay but I need a change. What are some good jobs where I am really alone by myself? Preferably that have part-time options (I enjoy my other projects), and a livable wage as I want to move out (even if it's living very tightly).
other shit:
>Brisbane, QLD, Australia
>only qualifications are high school certificate and certificate 3 in media
>19 years old
you could work as an overnight security guard, but the cash won't be much better than fast food unfortunately
>>16980667
>I want to become a sort of semi-hermit
good luck in finding a job
>>16980764
I was thinking about this, but I'm a scrawny cunt. Would I still have a chance?
>>16980771
SEMI-hermit. semi.
I am possessed by something. I see shadows... hear voices of a language I can`t know but still understand and speak. There are a lot of mysterious things going on, things move even my friends can see when doors suddenly open, glasses break or something else happens. But only I can see the shadows doing it. I see them not in two dimensional shape, more three dimensional. They`re not human. They`re evil but they`re my friends. They say they will make me suffer, but they`ll do for a reason. They killed a friend once... When I was a child I summoned creates from the Ars Goetia. They have never gone away... what shall I do?
Find a good Catholic priest.
can`t go into a church my head hurts i hate god and his child fu****g priests
Go to the hospital. Specifically a psych ER. I have heard this many times before. -mental health professional
What is the best way to kill yourself?
Get drunk OD on heroin.
Or try working your problems out. Hope you feel better eventually.
>>16980630
It seems you can't even shitpost right.
>>16980655
>>16980630
Take someone out with you preferably an American white woman ages 20-29 please and thanks.
Femanons, would you cuddle a skinny 18 year old boy
Mommy issues?
I mean I'm no faggot but I'd hug you man. I remember feeling that way before.
>>16980617
>Mommy issues
fuck no, my family is shit i just need a gf
>>16980646
You're stupid. You don't need a gf.
I recently moved out and I live alone. I love it.
There's just one problem.
I have a phobia of insects. Especially crawling ones like cockroaches and whatever.
I genuinely have no idea what I'll do if one inevitably steps into my house.. Any suggestions?
Get paper cups. Put the cup over the bug. Leave the cup where it is. Keep doing this, until your home is a maze of cups only you, in your fear, can navigate.
When someone tries to break into your house your angry bug army will consume them.
>>16980515
I probably wouldn't even place paper cups on them.
>>16980511
Get some bug spray and keep it in key locations,
like next to your bed or on the kitchen bench or wherever.
That way, it doesn't matter how much of a pussy you are, you'll still be able to just spray that motherfucker down. I'm almost as bad as you, can't even find something I'd consider hitting one with half the time.
I don't even know, I'm just so incredibly unhappy and have been for most of my life. Even if I have good days here and there I can't even remember what it was like to not think about suicide at least weekly. For once an adv thread that's not about females.
I just turned 24, I have an associate's degree from a community college. It's worthless. My adult life has just been bouncing around from city to city every year or so, I get fed up with my situation and take a bus out of town to start from scratch for the ump-teenth time. I go from one shitty labor job and scummy roachy apartment to the same thing in a different city.
Needless to say I have no friends, no nothing. I don't even really have interests other than music which I barely take the time to actually listen to and read along with the words anymore, when I'm not working I'm just pissing away my youth in front of the computer.
And I'm just tired of it. I hate being so sad and feeling worthless. I barely scrape by so therapy isn't an option. I don't care about sex although I'm obviously not getting any, I just want to not feel miserable 24/7 and tha twill come later.
I have no idea what I want to do with myself, where I want to be in the future. Sometimes I think about finishing school or going to a trade school but I don't even knnow what I would like or what my options even are.
I know this is my own fault, that it's essentially my laziness and lack of initiative that's led to a meaningless existence of boring days on a loop. But I don't really know what to do or where to go.
I just want some peace and quiet. Like NIN, "it won't give up it wants me dead, goddamn this noise inside my head".
>>16980456
same place anon, except im 25 and just starting college...
I'm just going to keep moving. that's really all u can do it seems.
I guess I have an idea of what I want, but I made zero progress in the past 2 wasted years because I spent all my time wanting to die. Literally the only reason I'm still alive is because I was scared if I killed myself I'd go to hell
Save up some money and go backpacking cross country. Maybe get a van to sleep in and to move around. Itll be hella fun dude, just you, the road and a world unknown.
Hello, 4chan. Need your advice. Especially if you are a native english speaker.
I'm in process of making my youtube project. I've spent months perfecting it. (gosh, we even have our own stuff as the background music and some cartoons as visuals). This project is related to video-games somehow. And you see, narration is a very important component of this project. The problem is, I'm not a native speaker. And I don't want to hire someone for this job, since I believe that I'm the only one who can read aloud the script as it was meant to. With the right emotions, aspects etc.
And here comes the question:
Does it feel bad to a native speaker to listen to someone who has an accent and may make some mistakes just a bit? Is it crucial?
>>16980397
it can be pretty funny sometimes
>>16980397
Get help with the writing so it is grammatically perfect and colloquially natural. Then your accent won't matter.
Depends a lot on where you are from.
Most northern European people are fine and their English is perfectly understandable.
Italians/Greek/Spanish can often border unintelligible.
Non-Europeans non-Native speakers are often impossible to understand if they haven't spent a lot of time speaking English where it is a native language.
Ultimately it will depend on your skills as an English-speaker and your charisma. The biggest guy on YouTube is Swedish. So it's not impossible.
So a while ago I went and got a mocha from McDonalds cause Starbucks was already closed. The mocha was complete fucking shit. Like there wasn't even mocha in it and I think I know why. Niggers make up the majority of workers working at this particular time. I'm thinking about driving through and throwing it at them but I'm not sure about the specifics. Do I throw it at the nigress with the nigger attitude who took my order at the first window or do I take my chances (they'll probably know something is up if I go through twice in one night) and throw it at the nog who is actually responsible for ruining my beverage (I don't really like the idea of paying just for the sake of revenge)?
It's just a fucking mocha you weak piece of shit.
How the fuck do you react when something bad actually happens to you? I'm sure your judgment is great.
>>16980381
Nothing bad really happens to me. The universe knows better. Gotta stay on top of things before they get out of hand and I start having real problems to deal with like some pleb.
>>16980372
You just drink it, you already have enough shit taste to unironically go to starbucks.
