Looking at the current events that are unfolding in the US I'm very afraid and unsure about the future. Things just seem to get out of hand. I'm thinking about moving to a reasonable country, but at the same time I don't really want to leave my homeland.
What do? Am I just over reacting? I wish these current race issues would just disappear
>more reasonable country
Like?

I don't know, but to be perfectly fair to /pol/, most of them do have real problems in life. They're just all self-inflicted. Rather like /r9k/.
(Not OP, by the way)
found out my gf's mom doesn't like me because i was anorexic and i have too many "issues" what do?
Step 1: don't care what that cunt thinks of you.
Step 2: ???
Step 3: ???
Step 4: ???
Step 5: profit.

Is avoiding her an option? People like that generally can't be reasoned with easily.
I have severe depression (actually diagnosed by a doctor), but never decided to take antidepressants.
Could weed somehow help the depression? Or make it worse?
>using a depressant when you're depressed
What could go wrong?
Depends on the strain and how much you're smoking/consuming. In low doses it might help but if you get full on stoned, it might make it worse.
>>17340862
>Could weed somehow help the depression? Or make it worse?
Could do either, or both at different times. Depends on the individual and the exact cause of your depression. Correcting a chemical imbalance in the brain can be a little bit of trial and error to find the right chemical and dosage for you. The only one really qualified to make an educated guess here is a neurologist.
How can I learn to be more considerate to others?
All of my friends and social circles have been distancing themselves from me from the past few years. I can honestly say I only have 1 or 2 close friends left outside of family.
A few days ago a friend and I were drinking, and I ended up talking shit to him while playing some video games. Wasn't trying to be a dick or anything, just normal banter I thought. I knew he was going through some personal problems, so I guess it struck a nerve with him and he got up and left. Later he told me that I was being an...

people think I'm a dick for reasons unknown to me

just dont think you are better than them, just become a leech

>just dont think you are better than them
I think this might be part of the problem. I sort of have a superiority complex. I look down on people a lot.
>just become a leech
What do you mean by this?
should i kill myself??
>>17340829
idk
Oh, it's this thread again...
Just tell me what to do ;-; im in deep depression
Everything was great we had been talking for 2 months , shit seemed legit. She loved me and I loved her , one week into the relationship and she acts distant as fuck , as if it goes it goes , which has me feeling the same way , like why care if she cares. Which is only going in a downward spiral. Wtf could of happened ?
Like why care if she doesn't care*^.
Bump....
She must have seen you use "could of" in place of "could have" or "could've", you illiterate cuck.
How can I smile more even though i have no reaso too
Lobotomy usually helps

Eh, too extreme. Anything else?

Alright I thought I'd never have to post on here but I'm getting desperate for advice since nobody in my family is willing to help me.
I've been unemployed for 7 months now and have been trying really hard to get any kind of work but having no luck here (live in a white trash town in north Florida and miserable). I don't have a car and only have a GED with some work experience but every decent job around here wants you to have a 4 year degree so am I just fucked? I've been thinking about going to trade school while working a shitty fast food...

Forgot to mention I had some money saved up and been using it to pay rent but now I'm running super low and won't last for another 2 months.
There are tons of posts like this on 4chan. The only real option, aside from accepting where you currently stand, is to take major risks. I sold all my shit and moved to a city I'd never been to for college and sold my car. Then I got a job in another city I've never been to where there are opportunities. If it was easy, there wouldn't be so many people like you wondering what to do. You either take the leap or be like the majority of people out there who wish they could have a new life but don't do anything about it.
>>17340781
Get any full time shitty fast food/cleaner job and go to trade school. Or get the full time job save like fuck and then move to a new city and work a fast food job for rent then find a new job. That's your only choices really.
is being 20 yrs old and never went on an airplane before just as bad as being a virgin
No, you cand easily buy a plane ticket and you don't have to worry about being arrested in a police sting for ir. Unless you are a muslim, then it's no big deal
Yes no one will ever fuck you because you haven't been on a plane.
>>17340766
not really cant buy a ticket cause my mom is lazy and stingy
So, a few months ago I realized i was also attracted to guys. big whoop.
But this isn't about me. This is about my good friend of 3 and a half years i would like to start a relationship with.
I know that there's already a heap of suggestions you guys could throw at me, a lot of them being "don't even try it will just ruin your friendship" since I imagine threads like this pop up every day.
But here's the kicker: He says he's straight, but me and my friends have caught him multiple times getting off on traps. (not irl. We caught him on webcam/screen-share; my life isn't a poorly written porno.)
I haven't told any of my friends or family that i am bi yet, and obviously he technically isn't right now. I know all of our friends and family would be okay with us both coming out, but my main fear is that he would back out because he would be so uncomfortable.
A lot of plans, may of them his own, have been aborted simply out of it being too awkward.
How do I the gay?
>inb4 take HRT and become his trap dream.
I already asked /lgbt/ and they just said "succ his cock".
pic unrelated
>>17340760
When you caught him jacking it to traps what was the follow up conversation like? Or did you just pretend like it didn't happen?
>>17340808
he more or less tried to deny it the first time or two since we only brought it up afterwards, a few times later he was honest about it, we didn't mention it much. Even before i turned bi, I told him that it's nothing to be ashamed of and did my best to support him.
After a while he said (only after we had brought it up again) that he no longer liked traps.
We then caught him again like 2 weeks later, but now, maybe two months after that, he's back to the "I don't like traps"...

weird
Well you can try talking to him one on one, the risk of course being that you would have to come out to him and seeing as this fag is so far into denial he might out you to everyone. Would you be ready for that?
Parents are using psychic abilities to stalk me. Help.
I'm a person that prefers to be alone especially during the morning. Every time I'm just sitting in my room my parents don't do anything they just sit there not making a peep. Every time I leave my room or come home or something they're in my shit and stalking and harassing me.
Today I went downstairs to go to the bathroom and grab a cup of water and I was enjoying the isolation I never have. As soon as I go in the bathroom I hear my dad come down the stairs and he's in my shit. Just...

I'm so going to fuck with my kids like this
I've been taking online courses at my local CC, because I'm unable to drive because of a brain injury I had when I was born.
I honestly haven't been thinking about what I want to do after I finish my last class this fall. My options for colleges are probably going to be limited because I can't drive.
What do I do?
I sold my truck when I transferred to a state school from CC. Lived on campus, used public transportation, and biked. Didn't get a car til I graduated. You don't have to drive to get through college.

So.... What to do.
Basically, I am interested in this girl, and for some reason over the past few days, I had an immense urge to contact her. I know that nothing will come of it, but my gut is kinda saying to just do it.
I made it clear to her that I am interested.
But it obviously seems that shes not, but has not said the dreaded "But I only see you as a Friend" line.
And I have asked her to hang out in the past, and she seemed to answer positively, but had Family stuff that she can't skip out on. But no alternatives offered, but...

Anon, she doesn't want to talk to you or hang out with you. If she wanted to do either of these things then you wouldn't be posting here. Once you admitted your feelings and she said that she saw you as a friend, that was your cue to move on but you missed it.
Right now all you are doing is torturing yourself, what do you hope to accomplish by contacting her? that she will want to hang out? Then what? Are you going to blind her with your wit? Are you going to fuck her?
Move on man, hate to see you be obsessed with a bitch who couldn't give two shits about you
>>17340683
The thing is that in reality she is quite shy in person. Only talks to one other person at length.
She did NOT say the "Only see you as a friend" or even anything alluding to it. If she did say that I would have.
And really, if she did not even want to talk, why would she carry on conversations for upto 5 hrs?
Honestly, I don't know what I would want to accomplish, I just have an urge to do so.
Also, we did "Agree" to hang out at some point when I asked the first...

So I have the opportunity to go on a date with a really cute Japanese girl who immigrated to my country not long ago.
We've talked online quite a bit, and she's really nice, and seems like the right kind of person for where I am in my life, but my main concern is her English - it's not that great. We've been able to maintain a conversation online (mainly basic stuff about interests/jobs/families, etc.), and I wouldn't say her language proficiency is a lot worse than some people whose first language is english, but I'm worried we won't...

i have two japanese female friends coming in to visit next week. you're lucky she has interest in you. mostly just talk and keep it simple. if she has interest in you she'll just be constant giggles and stuff. cute stuff works best. if you're finding its going okay be more assertive and physical, you'll find out right away where you stand

I've been with an Indonesian girl for 8 years. You will just have to accept that some of what you say will be lost on her and it will never change unless you are willing to learn her language. My gf has been in the country for 15 years and while she is fluent, there are cultural and country-specific items she just doesn't understand.
>>17340664
You have to fuck her, anon!! Holy shit!! Fucking fuck her! Sex! Fucking!! !
My life long dream is to work part time and live comfortably in a small house. Somewhere people wont bother me and that has cheep living. I make about $12.50 an hour. This is nowhere a good amount of money to live in my area without struggling like a cuck my whole life. My idea of being rich is having plenty of time on my hands to do what I want while living within my means. Now I don't mind working a lot at one time but the constant drive back and forth to work like a wage slave is terrible. I'd love to have a job that either has 10-12 hour days and a short work week...

What about a job on an oil rig? Don't know how it works in the US, but certainly the blokes on the north sea platforms work 14 days in a row then go back to shore and have 14 days off, and they make tidy money too.
>>17340672
its a possibility but I'd rather not spend my life living out at sea going back and forth from the oil rig. It would also mean living somewhere near the shore and with people everywhere. I would like to do IT work like being a data center technician as I have common sense with computers and have worked with linux and done some electrical wiring in my day. but I dont know how to get into it.
>Decide that you don't know how to get started
>Continue working in the service industry for the next 20 years
>Decide that you're now too old to chase your dreams
>Drink yourself to death
Or you can, you know, go out there and start applying to jobs.
