Any tips so I can at least do this right?
I know the feeling dude, but there must be something that you're good at doing.
Just live until you die because you'll probably fail at suicide, too
Cinderblock, rope, and a deep lake.
Pretty painful, but very effective.

Do I still owe him money for it?

Yes, unless he says otherwise.

Has anyone ever used Fast braces? I'm 18 and I have crooked teeth. I can either choose tradition braces (which can take 18-24 months) or Fast braces (around 12 months). I'm very self conscious of my teeth.
>tfw have crooked teeth
>tfw turning 21 with the same ugly smile ive had since 14
>tfw still dont give a fuck
have u ever listened to the song crooked smile?
also i think traditional will work better than the fast braces.
I had bad overcrowding in my mouth. Teeth on top of teeth, etc. I got the speed braces, but I also had to get stuff like an expander and all that. It took me about a year and a half to get them off and my teeth look great now.
They hurt like a bitch but you get them off faster. Also, the brackets are slightly smaller so they look a little better, imo.

So fast braces are a plus?
I'm in love with my best friend's sister, but it's a situation that has absolutely 100% no chance of ever existing
How do I forget her. Right now, I'm (22) I just image her hand in mine under the stars when I'm stressed as fuck, helps me sleep and calm the fuck down. Her bro, we've lived together for years, done shit, etc, unimportant. In my heart I know she'll never feel the same way that I feel about her.

Gone through hard times, been broke, been completely penniless for months on end, doing whatever we needed to do to get enough to survive to make sure we had at least a single square meal a day.
Do I have a brain tumor?
For like 3 years I've had a gaint bump on the side of my head, sometimes it turns red or purple, its right behind my left ear. Anyway I've had persistent hallucinations, parania , extreme personality change, the doctors say its schizophrenia, but Im starting to think its more, I've always gotten headaches, but lately my vision will bug out (flashing black and white) and I'll get confused dizzy and have difficulty talking for like fifteen minutes or so. I also deal with depression anxiety, that sort of thing. I've always...

Make them do comprehensive tests. Might be anything from parazytes (like toxoplasmosis) to tumor...
A brain tumor wouldn't be on the outside of your skull
>>16934833
then why do people who've had surgery for brain tumors always have stitches on their head?
Is it good or bad to use selfies with other grills as tinder pics?
>>16934808
bad.
>BUT WHY?
girls dont want to see you with other girls. especially one on one. but anything with a group pic should only be a secondary pic, not a primary.
Good. Social proof and what not.
I'm confused
Hey /adv/ I have a girl coming over in a few hours, how do I make sure my house smells really good other than burning like 6 candles?
>>16934797
Burn 7.
>>16934797
Clean very well. Put all dirty clothes in the wash. Open all of your windows, let it air out for an hour or two. Then burn some candles. Put them out before she gets there, otherwise you look like some lame woman's novel faggot.
Clean the bathroom, I mean like spotless, always have dry hand towels, your trash cans must be trashless also
My grandpa died today, and he lives in another country. I don't have a visa, and rushing it would cost $400 of money I don't have. He and the rest of his close family lives in another country whose language I don't speak.
But I'm afraid that if I don't go, then that means I never really loved him.
What should I do? I'm thinking of not going, but I'll feel guilty if I don't.
Pic related, he died via getting his plug pulled.
Call the embassy of the country if there´s another option for you than the big visa given the circumstances...
My grandma died last summer quite suddenly after a battle with cancer. It was about half a year after I made my dream of living in London come true. I wasn't there when she got worse, and my family decided it was best not to tell me immediately when the doctors put her in a sleep state. I only found out a day or two before she died. I had a similar situation as you, where flights/etc would have cost a lot of money that I didn't have, so in the end we decided it was best I didn't fly back to my country.
I felt like shit about it, but at the end of the day...

1. Send flowers or something to let them know you're thinking of him.
2. Think of him. Take a break during the day to think good thoughts about him and say Goodbye in your mind.
That is all that can be asked of you.
I want to move out of my roommates house asap but currently only have ever $300. I do have a steady job that pays me about $300 weekly but with bills it only amounts to about 150. What are some things I can do to help me scrape together about 200 extra for a deposit and rent at a new place?
>>16934755
>>16934755
>uber/lyft drive part time
>ask roommate for cheaper rent if you do all the housework
>plasma donation
>of you have a truck you can post ads on Craigslist to haul peoples shit short distances for money
>sell some of your unnecessary stuff on Craigslist/offerup
a) Borrow money from a friend/relative. It's tough, but it's the best option.
b) Explain your situation to the renter. They might budge on the deposit amount, or let you pay off the rest in installments.
c) Take out a small loan. You have a paycheck, yo.
How would you take the edge off a very stressful life? (Please no drugs or addictions...)
Exercise does it for me, in any form. Long walk through the woods, or just going to the gym or cycling around in the area on my bike.
whenever you are bored watch stock market videos on YouTube eventually you will know enough to make some money and get rich
>>16934742
depends on what the stress is. for me, the best way to remove stress is to simply remove it. if someone takes more than they give, then i cut them out. but there are certain tihngs like a job you love, but have tiny issues with, or whatnot.
for the general stresses of life that cant be avoided (and take a serious look at your life and considering cutting things out cuz you can cut more than you think) i like to make a list of everything i need to do right before bed. i never do it all the next day, but...

Hello /adv/, I have a question to ask.
Currently, I am a non-smoker, but I am considering picking Blu E-Cigarettes.
Anything I should know before I do?
>pic semi-related
Starting smoking is a really bad plan, and e-cigarettes are still pretty unsafe. Why bother increasing your risk of cancer when you can... uh, not?
>>16934713
no one who lives in a first world country really has an excuse to start smoking nowadays. Unless your parents basically were shotgunning their smokes down your throat, you should be smart enough to avoid it.
Do you think you'll look cool, or do you really need to take the edge off your part-time sales associate job?
I have been working in a Family Dollar store for a year and a half, I knowledge that im not the best worker but at least I try. The thing is that some people told me that I could promote myself to Assistant Manager. The problem is that I feel I couldn't keep with the work and then I would be fired. Also the pay difference is not too big and is too much responsibility for that low payment. Also It doesn't help that the store is placed on the worst area of my city, If I could move to another store I might consider being an Assistant Manager.
The other thing is...

Go for the assistant manager. managerial experience is fantastic and really pads your resume whenever you graduate college. Just do it until you graduate or for 3 years, whichever is longer, at least.
>>16934705
manager experience at fast food and stores like a dollar tree are essentially useless. at best they can help you get 'shift manager' position at another fast food or shitty store.
start applying for jobs in your spare time. apply for anything that can interest you, but imo you should aim for a full time office receptionist gig. you wont get one asap, but hold out and keep looking and you'll get picked up at some point.
i lied on my resume to get a receptionist gig, now i manage the...

My life is pretty much going down the drain.
My grades are slipping, my attendence have gone down, my coworkers dislike me. Last night I back into a car and now I missed a day of work. Also family life isn't great either. My parents and I argue constantly.
>basically all aspects of my life are shit. Low key considering ending it because I don't want to deal with the consequences and I don't want it to get worse.
The only thing I can tell you is to find a hobby, which is totally different (and possibly elsewhere) from everything else.
Or to blow up and make everyone behave.
So are you just gonna whine about it, or are you gonna do something about these problems? Don't sit around and expect everything to just fall into place. Fucking do something about it
>My grades are slipping
Do better.
>my attendence have gone down
Stop cutting class.
>my coworkers dislike me
Stop being a douche and/or find a new job
>Last night I back into a car and now I missed a day of work
Both your own fault.
Literally every problem in your life can be solved by you taking responsibility for your own shit.

I have had really bad body acne since I was 12. I'm 19 now, and it hasn't gotten much better. It's really taking a toll on my confidence because I hate taking shirt off (at the beach, in the sack).
I've tried every bodywash imaginable, I'm very clean, I exfoliate, all that shit, but nothing has worked. Any ideas to help my backne/chest acne would be greatly appreciated.
(pic not me, but I'm close to that)
OP here, I also have tried removing all unhealthy shit from my diet. I'm still doing that, but it's been 3 months with no success.
>>16934666
Benzoyl peroxide works the best for me. You can get a scrub to use in the shower every day. It's not a 100% cure or anything, but I get far, far fewer pimples, and when they happen, they come and go in like 1-2 days instead of sticking around for a week.
>>16934672
Thank you. I'll check that out, I can deal with a few zits here and there but right now it's just bad.

I've been gambling too much lately. It was fun at start but now I've been gambling over an hour a day. Point is, I've actually won money lately. Got a 1000$ jackpot and won 300$ more today. With all losses included I definately won a few hundered dollars.
Anyway, I got the feeling I'm getting addicted. I don't even like gambling anymore, I just do it because it keeps my mind off things. I want to stop it before I develop more of an addiction.
First things first, since I gamble almost exclusively at one website, I downloaded...

A family friend had it, made big trouble for his whole family. Not sure how to kick the habit, but there are different ways to gamble (you can do it in some games like GW2 or play online poker or whatever)... Or just play poker with cents with friends or over who gets the trophy next (weekly)...
Best thing would probably be to kick the habit asap totally and avoid any stimulants, but if you can´t, consider the possibilities not involving any actual cash/property ;)
>>16934618
>I definately won a few hundered dollars.
Precise math truly is the enemy of any wannabe pro gambler. Guesstimation is key to maintaining a happy ignorance of the true state of your gambling finances.
>>16934680
Could be. I tend to forget about the losses and remember the big catches. Either way I'm not yet in a situation where I'm financially instable, but that also has to do with some savings I have no purpose for.
Also: I don't spend much money on other stuff. Just makes me think I could've spend it on gambling.
