Hello ladies,
I need your help on this one.
So my girlfriend just told me she has a womb inflammation (not exactly sure what kind of).
And as far as I know that is considered a STD.
She said she is a virgin and hasn't done anything that would lead to getting a STD and I truly believed that.
I'm not sure whether she's a slut or just somehow managed to catch that.
tldr
Is it possible to get a womb inflammation from something else besides sex?
Perhaps infection? She could have fingered herself without washing her hands properly or something like that and messed shit up
These are just guesses. Google is your friend.

Yeah it happens after I set that pussy on fire
>And as far as I know that is considered a STD.
Are you suggesting that you decide what's an STD and what isn't?
Wtf do I do if my body completely ruins my life? I used to be fat when I was young and now I have stretch marks everywhere. My body is hairy as fuck and im not really burly or manly. I tried shaving it because it's so gross and now I can see my stretch marks easy as fuck.
I'm thinking about dumping my girlfriend just because I feel so unattractive and she hasn't seen my disgusting body yet
Seriously should I just get laser hair removal and lasers for the stretch marks
>>16923563
your body isnt ruining your life, you are. very little of life revolves around how you look. some does, sure, but not enough to ruin your life unless you dedicate your entire life to how your body looks.
that being said, talk to a doctor (re: not 4chan) about treatments for healing stretch marks. you wont ever get rid of them all but there are agressive treatments. say you want those. say you want to know what the more determined options are, not just 'LOL MADERMA TWICE DAILY'.

I have really random, curly hair, I'm a guy. How do I figure out what to do with it? I've heard getting a buzzcut helps, but I want to do something with it
>>16923535
post pics? of you, not someone who looks like you or just has similar hair. seeing what you look like tells us how to tell you to frame your face.

Ask a professional.
Got to a salon, ask for advice, pay them to style it, remember what they said to keep it tidy. Repeat once it grows out.
Last night I had a dream where I'd gone on a long flight somewhere and once it was time to return home I felt immense dread realizing I had to get on the plane again.
I've flown before on long trips several times, without incident at all, and without fear or anxiety. I'm able to remain calm physically even if, in my mind, I have a sense of unease about things.
Anyway, why do people quote statistics when talking about the risks of flying? What good do statistics do anyone when *they* happen to be on the 1 in a 1,000,000 flight that goes down or...

>1 in 1,000,000 risk
That's only true for the planes that are still on the ground. Once the plane takes off the risk is of it crashing is much higher.
I used to have this problem. When I was a kid I went on several flights with no incident, but one time I just randomly got a panic attack. I got over it after flying enough. Like any fear the best way to get rid of it is to face it. You already know that it's irrational to fear flying, so just fly enough and you'll eventually get comfortable with it.
Because statistics are highly relevant. It's not our fault your brain doesnt understand how statistics directly apply to you.
A car crash you have a degree of control, yes. But that's also the only thing that dictates the crash or not. You.
A plane crash would require:
Total engine failure
Fly-by-wire failure
Total power failure
Hydraulic backup failure
Pilot failure
Remote blackbox override control
Modern aircraft have the capacity to virtually land themselves in an emergency, and contrary to what hollywood has taught you they don't...

I have a 2008 Honda Civic LX and it's having trouble accelerating when I first start it up. It will move but the RPMs will shoot up if I try to make it move faster and the engine will really sound like it's struggling to keep up. This problem seems to go away after the engine is warmed up. I put in my code reader and found code P0113 (problem with PCM which monitors the temperature of the air entering the engine - might explain the warming up effect on the engine) and code P0102 (Problem with the Mass Air Flow sensor which can cause the engine to struggle).
Should...

Unfortunately there is no way to know until you fix those problems. This goes for almost all mechanical problems.
>>16923484
Go to a parts store, get an estimate on the parts, from there you can try to fix it yourself or go the mechanic. There's no guarantee one part will fix both problems, but I think its safe to say they probably correlate.

>>16923639
Thanks for the advice, guys. I did some more research and found that the symptoms might indicate a problem with the oxygen sensor. With the codes that are showing up, it's making me a bit confused. I think I'm just going to bite the bullet and go to a mechanic.
Ever since I was born I was told to believe in Jesus or else I'd go to hell, so obviously every night I'd pray to him. But for most of my teen life I don't think I really did believe in religion but I did just incase if it was true and it would prevent me from suffering for eternity.
Now I'm away at college and I still get these thoughts that make me feel guilty for questioning his existence but my love for science and evolution is helping to ease those fears. I just want to live in the now moment and be a good person without worrying about the future...

theres a quote floating around, and this isnt even close to verbatim but the idea behind it is
go out and live a good life, and do your best to not harm others. If there is a god, and he is just, he will welcome you with open arms for being a good person, regardless of whether or not you guessed which religion to believe in. if there is a god, and he only cares about whether or not you guessed the right religion, then he wasnt worth worshipping to begin with.
as for the contradictions between bible...

I've felt this way for a long time as well. You just need to realize that when you accept a set of beliefs, you take all of the baggage and the risk.
I was 'raised' catholic( not really forced to church but more culturally) it was normal to do communion and the other thing i forgot the name of. In my later teens i became atheist, now around my 20's i'm a bit more agnostic.
I just don't really care about religion and try to be a good person.
Is it normal for relationships to cool off after some months?
>been together with bf for 8 months
>we don't text each other as much as we used to (we still talk everyday though)

To keep the flames lit, relationship need to be nurtured.
You can contribute to this nurturing by becoming a bit more assertive and actually frequently showing your affection towards him.
Randomly hug him, kiss him, hold his hand or arm when you're walking together, initiate and take the lead in sex every now and then to make him feel that you desire him.
Stuff like this produces Oxycontin in both of you which strengthens attraction and monogamous behavior among couples.
Don't think so hard about it. It is normal for them to not be as exciting as in the beginning when you're both infatuated with each other.
By the sounds of it you're in high school and the best advice I can give you is you shouldn't worry about coming up with interesting things to say, it at least for me used to make me feel more tense.
>>16923358
Lol, I'm actually 22, but this is my first boyfriend and I was a sheltered child so I'm a bit clueless when it comes to people.
About the interesting things, you're right, I just didn't want to be a bore.
>>16923329
We do that all the time, but thanks anyways. I was thinking about adding some randomness to our relationship to break from the routine. What do you think about that?
So here I am, having worked a retail job for 12/hr for 1.5 years now, running a computer repair service as a sole proprietor, and I come across a small-medium managed services startup who wants to hire me as a regular employee, not temp, and I find myself afraid to leave my stable job to break into IT like I've always wanted to.
The position is for an NOC Engineer, on-call. I realize the workload will likely be high but it's got to be better than retail. I could use this experience to get all the certifications I need and then find a better job after that.
What do?
>>16923252
Have a fall back plan and don't burn bridges with the retail just in case things don't pan out. Make sure the on-call has enough hours to get you by otherwise you might need a part time job on the side.

I can always drive for Uber if I ever encounter a period of unemployment. I've made enough on the side driving that if I really needed to I could pay my monthly living expenses ($1400) but would hate to rack up all those miles.
>>16923252
Go for it, you can always relegate your business to something on the side for a little extra cash. You don't know when another opportunity like this will come along to grow your skills.
Hey /adv/ I'm wrapping up high school and ship out for the Navy on August 4th. I'm worried I won't spend my final 30 days well, any suggestions on how I should spend them?
>>16923159
Putting your affairs in order and making a list of who you want to inherit all your toys, because the navy is going to send you someplace where a lot of people are going to try very hard to kill you.
>>16923253
did you form that opinion strictly from playing video games? the navy only lost 60 personnel to combat in the entire iraq war. OP is statistically more likely to commit suicide than be killed by an enemy.

Avoid living in the street, feeling bad now is nothing compared to losing your life to homelessness. Find employment, save money, try to help with groceries. Yep, being a burden sucks, but adults like the people your living with are allowed to accept burdens. They know how much they can help, and they think your future is worth the burden of helping you. Don't insult them by throwing that away.
>>16923118
Shit man I know a sober-living in LA only $350 fit the first month and $500 after. You want the number? I'll give it to you, I'm 2 yrs sober and I send all my desperate, broke, addict friends over there. They'll sometimes let you do housework for rent if you're that desperate and looking for a job concurrently.
Living in the street is no fun at all man, I've been there. You gonna get raeped by the street. some people get beaten up regularly, you're seen as sub-human by regular...

There are A LOT of homeless people in San Francisco. I wouldn't count on moving there.
As much as it's a blow to your ego, I'd say try to stay where you are and take that stability. You're not being a burden -- and you can prove that by doing stuff about the house. Do household repairs, chores, chip in for the bills, whatever. They know you're not trying to be a mooch or they wouldn't let you live there.
I have to admit that I don't have any experience in your situation, but I would recommend checking out your city/regional work...

There is a fucking dog somewhere in my apartment building that howls for hours and hours on end. I don't know exactly where or what unit it's in but holy fuck it drives me mad!
Can I call the SPCA and have them take the dog away? Building management is a load of incompetent fucks and doesn't do shit. What can I do to make this stop?
Talk to your landlord. If they won't listen and you care that much maybe see if you can get other tenants to complain. If that still doesn't work move because it isn't your building and you're out of options.
Call you city's animal control department, this is why you pay taxes.
>>16923224
It's not an animal control issue though. They don't own the property so have basically no say what happens on it, depending on state you might have some tenant's rights laws about noise that you could leverage to pressure the owner of the building but other than that they aren't entitled to much. If you can't tolerate the people around you move to a house, if you can't afford that go live under a bridge. You don't get to just bend the world to your will simply because you exist...

Hi /adv/, I recently noticed that I'm afraid to show interest in girls because I fear being called a creep or being judged or rejected. It happaned 2 times last sunday and I feel bad about it like why sould I even put them on a pedestal like this ?
Ex: this hottie I'm like hnnnnng everytime I see her is always partying with me and when I saw her pics from the venue album on normiebook I though waouh but I kept myself from liking because I feared being judged or getting too much attention. A few pics later I saw she liked mines and got to the conclusion that the...

I would give you advice but I can't cause I'm the same boat. All I can tell you is you're not alone.
If girls get flirty or touchy when I'm out with the lads, I either play dumb or am actually too dumb to play the field and they have to point it out to me after the fact she left.
I play dumb because I don't want to be a creep like my friends, I don't seek out women for the same reason. Watching the flirting banter in general seems childish to me. Apparently talking about...

>>16923088
Thx. Cool to see I'm not the only one.
I don't really give a damn about the pic but rather the fact that I don't considers myself worthy of giving and receiving attention. Which is weird because I'm the kind of socially retarded ppl that have no shame in front of ppl. Guess the fact that I never really had a relationship wired my brain wîth this bad rejection habit.
bump ?
I'm about to chat with some girl I haven't seen in weeks. We are not close friends, just barely friends, but from the little I know her she's really cool. She had an argument with some friends of ours recently. That's gonna be the most obvious conversation topic. Should I avoid talking about that even if it's very relevant? (unless she brings it up)
>>16922960
ask her if shes on her period
>>16922960
You could try to avoid it. Say you'd rather not get involved, for fear of creating a gap between you and her or you and the mutual friend. Or rather than "for fear of[…]", go for "out of respect to the two of you".
That's if she does bring it up. She might not do it, so just act naturally.
It's kind of hard to think of something else to talk about though, just asking how have you been sort of implies I'm asking because I haven't seen her because of the argument. We are all part of a charity group that meets periodically to which she hasn't come lately for this reason.
If I avoid the subject it will be clear I'm avoiding it, but that's okay as long as I have something else to talk about before I ask her if she wants to go somewhere with me and hang out.
I want to chat with her since I can't meet her irl otherwise.
