Social inept here...
Girl I'm talking to on tinder brought up some of her "past issues." How do I respond to this? Like I don't want to be pitiful/sorry for her, but I don't want to be too dismissive? Basically, I'm just not sure how to steer the conversation without sounding like "anyway..."
unloading issues on someone early on is a fuckhuge red flag bro

I figured as much... You think I should just unmatch her?
Why not just try something and see what happens? Do you plan to ask /adv/ what to say when the minister asks you if you take so-and-so to be your lawfully wedded wife?
simple question, complex answer ....

It's going to vary with everyone, but you should probably start by asking them out.
Found a scumbag illegally operating business that scams money from elderly people. I have the companies email, phone numbers, the owners name and his address. How to take them down behind the autistic comfort of my keyboard?
Forward the information to law enforcement agencies
Send it to the IRS, tell em you think they're committing fraud.
They'll investigate that shit real quick
How do I commit to a field of study? I like studying science but I'm not passionate about any of it.
If you can't make your mind, you don't have a clear picture.
Learn what doesn't interest you at all, than broad interesting topics, then narrow it down.
well, what is your intended career?
When I started college, I was dead set on teaching English. I got my aa by 20, and started taking teaching classes, I hated it, quit school, and just worked. Then I joined the army at 23, went to school for computer science at 24 (online) and loved it. I'm thinking of doing undergrad now, 3 years later.
Basically it seems like a crap shoot. I never would have thought I'd like cs. Try something you wouldn't otherwise?
So this bisexual girl I've been seeing for quite some time now has been really up and down with me lately.
She was crying one day to me about how her friends were talking to her ex or some weird shit, and y'know, I did the typical comforting stuff with her to make her feel better. She leaves to Idaho the next day and starts to tell me how her gratitude for me grows deeper and deeper and how now she's unsure if she views me as a friend or something more. Then she brought up my feelings about if she dated other people (which she has been with me knowing so,...

What you do is you don't worry about it, and go find another girl. The thing about girls is if they want something, they'll go and get it. It's the current year and all that. She just likes playing games.

Yeah, I understand. It's so hard to tell with her though, because if I go after other girls or if I just want to leave her alone because I don't want to deal with her, she freaks out about how she wants to do something with me and whatnot, and when I do give her attention she also starts to freak out.
Question - if a chick considers herself "athletic" (say, in the context of a dating website) and wants someone in shape, does this mean someone who spends 1-2 hours a day lifting and working out, and eating super clean, or is it just "no fatasses?"
I'm at a normal BMI, and I try to get in about 30 minutes of working out a day, but I don't really have the dedication to get ripped. Is that mostly acceptable?
(I'm aware that if a chick is like a crazy crossfit hardcore workout person, she's probably going to be looking for the same, but I just mean someone who keeps themselves in pretty good shape.)
Able to perform physical activity, which involves figure and endurance. It sounds like you're fine on both counts.

>I try to get in about 30 minutes of working out a day
Please quantify this, because even fatass fatties will claim they work out this much or more daily when they really mean they walked to the mailbox or pushed the grocery cart around the supermarket
>if a chick considers herself "athletic" (say, in the context of a dating website)
You ABSOLUTELY cannot rule out fatties here, it's actually very common for fat women to consider themselves athletic (to be fair, they are usually somewhat physically active). Someone such as pic related might say they're "athletic", but they're definitely still fat.
I honestly don't look at those categories at all, they're totally worthless
Is it possible to be a shut-away in a room but keep a sense of perspective? I like to basically stay inside in a cosy place so I can really focus on the work I'm doing, as well as some reading and watching some films on a big screen (basically cosy inside stuff). I've noticed this changes the way I think though, like in the 'rat park' experiments. I forget really basic things about being alive, like I forget what it feels like to go walk along the seaside, or that there's nice campuses with rock climbing walls or formal dinners - these must seem like...

Maybe, but it's probably hard and requires a lot of mindfulness.
I'm 24 and in grad school. I'm pretty good at social interaction but I enjoy sitting in the house listening to music, playing video games, watching movies, and smoking weed, while also getting my work done.
I find when I have days or weeks of just sitting in the house, class, and maybe the gym a few days a week I make poor life decisions.
All I want is to not be mocked by bullies over my disabilities. Does this make me a bad person?
Absolutely not. May I ask what disability? People are cruel and childish.
>>16908443
not at all. you should assert your dominance more. people only do this shit if you let them. go nuts.
>>16908443
If you are talking about internet trolls, obviously ignore them.
If people in real life are mocking you to your face, have a witty comeback. It helps to learn to improv.
so i was offered a job in IT from a friend who works there. she put in a good word, and now they want my resume and a phone interview right away. i'm 20 years old, and have no college education. my first job was at 15, and i still have that same job. it's as a chef, so nothing to do with IT.
HOWEVER, i've been studying computer science/engineering since i was 12. i've sort of been the IT guy for my local town my entire life.
how do i put that on a resume?
i'm at a loss...

That's a bit tougher.
Best case scenario you could do the A+ or something cert related really fast but that would be like a month at least.
You can say you're enrolled in classes or was in the past if you aren't totally lying.
You can also mention interests, aptitude, willingness to learn, and other stuff.
I'm considering using Craigslist to meet people and get laid. Any advice on how to use Craigslist without getting kidnapped or scammed?
Bumping for advice
>>16908413
Don't use craigslist. Use a regular online dating service. People on Craigslist are the same kind of people who use 4Chan; they will wear your skin like a coat.
