I need to get a dent in the back of my car fixed. I accidently fucking backed up into another car in while I was at walmart. The other car was fine, but my car has a large dent maybe the size of a melon. I can't afford fixing it myself because I'm a piece of shit who doesn't have a job. How much do car fixes like this even cost? I absolutely can't let my parents see this dent because it has happened before. I wonder if I could sell some shit on ebay or something. But right now I'm just looking for some DIY repair shit. I bought a dent plunger from walmart...

Prius?
Fag.
Anyhow, you gotta get behind that thing and pop it out. It's plastic, not a dent in the traditional sense. I don't know jack about that bumper, but most cars you can get them off or at least loosen one side enough to get behind it. Then you just push or hammer it out. It won't look normal, and there may be funky creasing around it, but it will look better from a distance. Sooner the better though, cause the longer the plastic sits like that, the harder it will be to get it...

I don't own a fucking prius, anon-kun..
Tell me about bumpers though. I can get behind the bumper, but my arms aren't long enough to reach it...
>>16913335
This. You'll have to pull the whole bumper cover, there is a steel brace inside attached to the frame horns that will have a piece of dense foam over it. These will be in your way, so easier to pull the cover off. Prbably some phillip's heads in the wheelwell and a ten mm hidden near the back of the headlight somewhere. Phillip's heads, 10 mm's and plastic pushpins will probably greet you along the bottom of the cover and around the grill under the hood along the core support. Just pull hardware...

i like a girl; i'm quite sure that she likes me too.
what's the next step?
(i'm a guy btw)
Asking her out is a pretty decent start.
Ask her to "hang out" and be as ambiguous as you possibly can about it. If she asks what you want to do just say "I don't know, hang out I guess?"
>>16913336
this is way too passive and beta, a great way to end up in the friendzone and quickly become her shopping buddy
Long story short: I was a "straight" guy that fell in love with another man. Our relationship Is probably the best one I've ever had, but sex is so frustrating and unsatisfying (he puts me on the bottom) that I don't know what to do. Sex isn't everything I know. I jerking off a lot so I don't get tempted to cheat but is there any way to fix this? Pic related
>when he tells you just the tip
Have you tried being the top? Are they at least jerking you during sex and giving head at other times? More information is helpful. In any case you should talk to your boyfriend about it, if they don't know that there is a problem then it will probably never be resolved. They might be more willing to work out a compromise than you think and if not then that's the real issue.

Topkek motherfucker
So I'm going to turn down much higher paying jobs with benefits and higher prestige to take a job test water for pollution and bacteria.
Just to give you an idea of the jobs I'm turning down they're mostly lab tech jobs from huge companies like Melendez and Givaudan that pay somewhere between 36-50 thousand for a job that pays 13 an hour and will be part time until May and I could possibly lose my job in October.
Part of the reason I'm doing this is that it's a very small company, like they had to hire six people just to start this project,...

No one can really answer this for you. You decide.
With 13k in savings you could start investing. That's what I'd do in your position. Take the low paying job and invest to start growing your wealth.
If you didn't like working at BigCo before then yeah, why not. Being able to work for something you believe in definitely helps one sleep at night.
Do it while you're young and without obligations. And make sure you have a job lined up if it looks like things are going south.
I'm at a point where I'm choosing which career I'm going to be sticking with and won't have a good second chance with whatever I don't take. Its easily the hardest decision I've ever had to make. Basically it's between a really secure long term IT Tech role and a risk at entry into Youth Work.
I don't have a degree and the IT role wouldn't change that. But it's a pretty damn rock solid secure long term position with great experience and flexibility and fantastic access to all sorts of industry certifications which in IT tech roles are vastly more valuable than academic qualifications. IT is something I've always been comfortable with so its in my comfort zone although not something I'm strictly all that passionate about.
The Youth Work route means a lot of risk and effort, 4 years of combined work and study and a big ol' pile of student loan debt, but I would get a degree. I've been volunteering with a youth work organisation for a number of months and found that I quite enjoy it and am better at it than I thought I'd be. Reality is though it's something I do once a week, not a full time role. It's also in a pretty easy going area with a main focus on homelessness and unemployment rather than something intense like inner city gang youth(which I could end up having to work with if I go down this route). I don't really know if I'm cut out for Youth support work full time. I mean I'm an understanding, accepting person who is good at supporting people which is a plus. But I'm also a fairly introverted nerd that lives with his parents and has been browsing 4chan for 10 years, I'm far from the most worldly of people out there and I can be pretty awkward in new social situations before I become used to them. I don't know that I'm really cut out to be a role model, advisor and leader for young people. It seems like a really great cause but it's a lot of risk for something that seems so incompatible with my nature despite my successes as a volunteer.
I appreciate that it's not something other people can really give me the right answer to. But I wanted to throw it out there partly to help gather my thoughts but also to see if other people have perspective on the area that I don't.
>>16913270
You can still volunteer without a degree and do low risk things (which is what seems to be what you're after)
I'd take the IT job. Security for yourself, and you are fine and able to do part time volunteering as well whenever you want. Hell, if you get really into it, you can save up cash from your IT job and start your own volunteer thing that specializes in [choose your topic].
I think I'm really losing it and I'm afraid of what I migjt do

so I found out I have a brother I didn't know about
my dad was a deadbeat that got mixed up in drugs and died when I was a kid, today I learn I have a younger brother that is around my age
I don't really want to meet him, totes not interested in forming a relationship with him however I do want to spy on him and see if he is
1. more attractive than me
2. more successful than me
how do? should I even bother?
>>16913242
I found out I had a brother when I was 29. I also found out that my mom tried to contact him and he told her to fuck off. My sister contacted him and has a relationship with him. I essentially decided I didn't give a shit, and I still don't. He lives in my city.
Don't bother.
>>16913283
in my case it is likely we may have even gone to the same highschool
lolol why do men suck so much? Putrid deadbeats
My sister likes me way more than I like her. Like way more. I barely even acknowledge her but she loves me more than she loves our mom, wants to move out and take me to live with her, always tries to bond with me over movies and series and stupid girl stuff but honestly I have none of it and I hate being around her.
And the reason is because my sister is genuinely mentally unstable. She was abused as a child and now she has a huge victim complex. She thinks the world owes her something. She thinks it's cute to be almost 30 and yet so incredibly immature and childish.
She gets pissed at even the mention of going to a therapist or a psychiatrist. And also she's kind of becoming an alcoholic. All in all she's a shitty person to be around and I can't stand her.
The reason she loves me so much is because when I was younger I wasn't so fed up with her shit yet so I always tried to help her. She didn't give a shit about me helping her back then mind you, and would always lash out at me, which was part of the reason I decided to say fuck it and stop caring about her. But now it seems like her mind is stuck in the past and she thinks I still like her like I did when I was 12. And I can't stand it. I don't have it in me to just tell her to fuck off because she tried to kill herself before over really petty shit, like a fight with a cousin or a comment about her clothes, so I can't even imagine what the fuck that bitch would do if she knew the only person she believes cares for her actually hates her. So what the fuck do I do?
Help me /adv/ I feel stuck.

Honestly I think the reason I feel stuck is because I am stuck. Having mentally ill people who refuse treatment in your family often ends like this. They either become a burden and weight you down or you don't let them be part of your life anymore and become that asshole who abandoned their mentally ill sibling. Shit.

I turned 18 today. Any advice you can give to an aspy beta that he can carry on for the rest of his life?

Advice on what?

Really just anything. Preferably relationships since I've never had one and can't think of anyone to get in one with
>>16913216
Make sure you stick your dick in some young pussy while you can. It's harder to get the young stuff as you get older. Be safe, of course.
I have a friend who is good-looking, thin, smart, funny, she cooks, cleans, and has hobbies and activities. She's 29, has a good job, and lives alone.
We've both had some shitty relationship luck over the years, and have dealt with some very damaging people. But she always complains about how she's hideous, and a fat whale, and she's so disgusting that no one will ever want her. Some body dysmorphia I guess...? Even though we wear the same size, and she says I'm tiny. She says no guy will even look at her, and she's just going to die alone,...

I'm like her I guess.
Late 20s, does things like that. Single.
I don't believe in compromise. I've dated lots of people I got off "kinda ok" with, but I turned them down.
So what you want?
To date her? Or to get her a date she wants?
>>16913200
There's a difference between "not settling" and being kind of nutty about it. I doubt you think you're disgusting and unworthy of love, yet find so many others that you're not interested in, especially based on looks.
I'm straight, so I definitely don't want to date her myself. And I don't think her dating a guy will really fix this underlying issue either... it's the whole thing of it.
>>16913189
She has low self esteem or body issues and unrealistically high standards.
Those are common problems, and you can't fix them. She can, if she wants to.
How easy is it to decapitate oneself by placing their head on a train track? Where I live, a train passes by every couple of minutes, or so it seems. However, with the train I am thinking of, it has a lot of stuff in the front that would prevent me from having a very painless death. Another disadvantage is that just merely waiting for the train will build up anxiety, and so that might cause me to abort my suicide plan. It is not a train that carries any passengers, so maybe that gives a clue about its average speed.
Can anyone give tips on how to decapitate oneself by...

What do antipsychotics feel like?
>>16913119
Salty milky sandy bags of coins.
If they're anything like SSRIs they FUCKING SUCK.
Depends on which one. In general they make you feel really tired but there's subtle differences, Latuda gives me a pleasant sleepy feeling while seroquel gives me a irritable one for example. Also they help anxiety.
Also beware OP, you will have insomnia after coming off antipsychotics. They give you the best sleep ever though.

Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me."

“Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. Many will say to me on that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name and in your name drive out demons and in your name perform many miracles?’ Then I will tell them plainly, ‘I never knew you. Away from me, you evildoers!’"
