I'm looking to replace the ancient PC I inherited from my family, but I've never actually gotten one myself, and I don't know exactly what I should do.
I'd like a machine capable of running games acceptably, but primarily dedicated to animation/music/video editing software, and I'd like to possibly look into some basic programming.
Of course, I'd prefer not to break the bank, but I have no idea what sort of money I'm looking at here.
dude you basically have no idea of anything. smdh senpai.
honestly though start of with a dual core(i3 should be enough), go with whatever midrange thing nvidea or amd have shat out in the past year and just stick with a couple 1tb hdd's, 1 for main drive 1 for backup. spend the rest on a good monitor.
assuming you don't reuse anything and you live in the US of A expect to blow 5-700 dollars.

Video editing is gonna be the killer. You're gonna want several metric fucktons of RAM for that. Acceptable gaming can be achieved by buying the cheapest new pc in the shop and sticking a fairly cheap graphics card and half-decent CPU in it. The rest, any old shit will do just fine.

>dual core
I wouldn't go with anything less than quad core
Anyone have any tips for someone with anxiety, panic disorder, and depression? My stomach always feels "off", and when a panic attack hits I can deal with any symptoms except nausea. Tried mint, ginger pills, etc but seems like nothing stops me from puking.
>>16939941
What I do is avoid the situation at all costs. I wouldn't recommend it. Makes my life really hard
>>16940108
Yeah, I don't want to become a shut in with agoraphobia, so that won't work. Plus even days off at home alone I still get some nausea.
I get the urge to vomit too, but I don't think It's gotten to the point where it's actually happened. I usually end up in the toilet

I love night, i love peace and quiet. I can't let myself Fall into night life-style due to various reasons. When it's getting late im super hyped up, my mind is full of ideas and i have genuine desire to do stuff. How can I abandon all of it and start going to bed earlier?
>>16939907
While you do get this energy at night, that doesn't mean you can't find the same inspiration from doing something else during the daytime, right?
Honestly? I take OTC sleeping pills. One 25mg dose does it for me
>>16939949
It's really hard because of two reasons :
Uno- I live with my familia (parents+younger sister)
They always want something from me/are loud
Duo- I'm lazy fuck. I prefer to spend days on video games or books and when the Sun Goes down i feel the urge to stop procrastinating and do something constructive.
BTW. What's "normies" sleep hour?
I'm seriously always angry. I used to show my bad temper to people but lately I'm keeping it to myself. I react nicely to people no matter what but I feel like I'm surrounded by jerks constantly. I hold a deep anger towards everyone who annoys me in the slightest.
What should I do about this? It's starting to become a problem. I slam doors and sometimes break stuff when I'm alone but it doesn't help much, and I don't know if I'm gonna get violent against someone eventually.
>keeping it to myself
The worst idea. Over time you will go off like bomb.
1) Therapist. Or anybody who you can complain to. Complaining to friends is good unless your friends are jerks too...
2) Sport. Pour all your hatred into some sport. Running, swimming, lifting, anything which isn't team sport (you would kill your teammates eventually).
3) Chill pillz. Aka drugs / medicament. This will probably worse your state.
>deep anger
>surrounded by jerks constantly

Thanks. I don't mean the people are actual jerks, they are probably nice people, and the nicest I've met. It's just that I feel like keeping my anger to myself at all times and always reacting as nicely as I can (for example I developped this reflect of saying "sorry!" too much), makes me feel like the smallest bad things they do make them bad people compared to me. I feel like I should put them in their place because no one else does but the problem is they are just nice people who anger...

Smoke weed.
tomorrow ill have a job interview
are there any advices other then "just be urself xD"
>>16939868
Research about the company's background if they do ask you about it
Dress nicely, semi-casual should be fine
Don't sound monotone so do some vocal exercises
Eye contact and smile when greeting and when you're done with the interview
Good posture
Firm handshake. Eye contact. Confidence, but not arrogance. Be straight forward about what you want and ask a question at the end.

>Dress nicely, semi-casual should be fine
whoa now, don't assume that.
If OP is going in for a career job out of college, he needs to put on a suit.
If this is some bullshit fast food-tier job, a collared shirt and slacks are acceptable.
Alright, so I awkwardly asked a girl I'd been crushing on for months on a date. She said No but was nice about it and we're still friends.
The thing is, I actually really like her as a friend. She's one of those girls you sometimes meet and think "Damn, if you were a guy we would be best friends" - I've never met anyone like her who's into the same shit as me. I also had a major crush on her, I know, but that kind of grew out of a desire to get to know her better. We don't hang out that much, only really in groups, but we do talk...

OP Cont - I don't know what to do, I guess I am trying to both maintain and escalate a good acquaintanceship to friendship over a 100 mile distance with someone I already expressed romantic feelings for that were not reciprocated, making it even more awkward/fucked up. Maybe I am kind of beaten and I just need to say goodbye forever. That would be a shame though, she's so awesome, I will miss her
>>16939865
I'm conscious this is a long ass thread and it may get lost soon, so I'm thinking I have one good questionb- should I just talk to her about it? I know forced freiendships suck but maybe that is all K can do
I mean yeah, just be straight with her. Tell her that you had this crush and it's OK that she doesn't feel the same way, but besides that you think she's an awesome person and really fun to be around, and you'd just really like to be friends. Explain that you have no ulterior motive (and obviously don't ever try to pursue a relationship with her again). At the end of the day it's up to her to decide whether she believes you or not on that front, but at least you tried.
Hello /adv/ i require asistance.
I need to download this entire site. I was offered 2 months of flash facts for the ULSME first aid step one.
There are around 10,505 facts that resume the entire book and are very useful for studying.
How i can download the entire site without the painful process of taking screenshots of everything?
In return, i'll upload the flashcards somewhere if anyone is interested.

I'm a med student only, anon. I suck at this stuff.
Hi /adv/
I've started a relationship about 2 months ago with a girl.
She's kinda cute, on the chubby side tho.
The thing is, I don't know if this whole relationship thing makes me happy. I'm quite indifferent to most of it actually.
It's the first time I'm having one so I'm learning.
We don't really have the same hobbies. I'm more of a laid back kind of guy (I like museums, chilling in bars / at home). She's more of a high on life kind of girl. We understand each other a lot though, things are...

Tell her what you told us. If you're not at the point in your life where you want to settle down probably leave
>>16939822
I'm afraid to have this conversation with her to be honest
I'm not even sure about my own feelings....
This all relationship thingy is scary to me
>>16939817
You got into a relationship because you thought sharing your life with someone would make you happier, no? Well, if you were happier prior to the relationship then it seems pretty obvious what to do.
What is the most beautiful celebrity you would like to date?
Pick one.
Miley Cyrus when she had long hair

Can anyone translate what this says? Found it at my gf place after I moved out, so I took it.

"the pleasure of being cummed inside"
Hi. I actually speak Vietnamese.
It says that ''She secretly thinks about Big Black Cocks every day and night''
I am sorry anon...
I think it says, "Everybody was Kung fu fighting"
I need some help. Long story short, I'm in high school, never had a girlfriend and I really feel alienated from my peers and want companionship. It's nothing to do with my looks, I have girls tell me I'm hot quite frequently actually and many ask me out- only problem is that I have extreme crippling anxiety. I'm to the point where I feel like it's eating me up inside. I will not under any circumstances take anxiety medications for a multitude of reasons (which I don't care to discus). The closest thing I've ever had to a girlfriend was a girl...

Get diagnosed for crippling anxiety and take your meds. That's what they were made for. If you aren't actually suffering from anxiety stop browsing the internet.
If your anxiety is holding you back this much my suggestion would be to get professional counselling to deal with it. Once your anxiety in under control everything else will fall into place.
>>16939797
I said already I'm not taking any medications. I want people with anxiety to discuss coping methods with me.
Had a strange taste on music for a year. Constantly listened to bands with distortion vocals, abusive lyrics and suicide or hopelessness as a main theme.
Did it reflect my mental state at the time? Should I stop listening to it, if I feel it makes me even more indifferent to life?
This doesn't seem to fit in /mu/, sorry
Doesn't do that shit to me, and I listen to death metal all the time.
Mostly melodeath, though.
I've been listening to that kind of stuff for years, through all the highs and lows. It probably doesn't mean anything.
>>16939766
Music definitely affects your mood and psyche. That doesn't mean listening to a metal song will turn you into a Satan worshipping murderer but there is an effect just be mindful of that fact and don't let yourself forget it's just music have fun you'll be fine
I'm going to greentext the background info to make it easier
>recently meet girl
>me boring guy not much sexual experience
>her now sober reformed alcoholic slut
>me ok with this
>her wanting to get into bondage and wants me into it too
>not sure where to start or how to be this guy
tl;dr how to I turn myself into someone that is good at bondage and bdsm?
>>16939756
Well, you missed to most important part:
Who is she? Sub or Dom? Because if she is dom, all you need to know is safe word. Like when it all goes in bad way you yell it to make it all stop, unless you are gagged :-D
If she is sub, then I don't see how it can work without you first developing some mentality first.
>>16939768
she is sub and says she is newish to this and never trusted anyone enough to be open to this life style. I am having hard time being the dom, more or less controlling her to my will is outside my comfort zone at the moment
bump?
