I'm playing a game where you have to drive to a destination (let's call it Vegas).
>you get 0.5 points per mile traveled (d/2)
>you can take various routes, some longer and some shorter
>you have 1000 hours to do it, and every hour spent traveling subtracts from your bonus
>your car can travel at 30, 45, or 60 mph
So, for example, if I get to Vegas within 3000 miles and take 400 hours, I would get 2100 points (3000/2) + (1000-400)...

Linear algebra is your friend.

And that's why you play stupid games instead of doing actual work.
So I'm 23 and a NEET with only a GED, I have literally zero work experience and I'm still unsure of what I even want to go to school for. Just thinking about the future has been stressing me out a great deal and I feel like I'll never get out of this at this rate.
Just getting and holding down a job, any job, will go quite far to boosting your self worth.
Some jobs you can get with no experience are a dishwasher in a restaurant or security guard (go through an agency like Securitas or us security at first)
Most people don't necessarily know what they want either, but you can't stay a neet, its unhealthy mentally and not a sustainable solution long term.
Advice for breaking up with girls you care about ?
>>16896931
Be more specific. Why are you breaking up with her if you care about her? Is the relationship toxic? Is it never going to work out for other reasons?
Also what is image source? It's pretty cool.

I've been dating this girl who's been a really good gf for almost a year and I've opened my eyes to the fact that she's a scatter brain and I don't see a future with her
I feel trapped because I care for her but I don't want to be with her
She likely won't enjoy hearing that, maybe make up a different reason? Normally I would advise honesty, but in this case I think it'll do more harm than good
I need a new phone but I need a good budget one.

I'm a complete idiot, how do I learn to program or do anything on the computer and pursue my dreams of actually making stuff myself.

I also have the memory of a gold fish or a cat on acid.

It just sounds to me like you're not willing to put in the effort. If this is what you really want to do, you'll remember.
So I broke up with my gf of two years a couple days ago because I just wasn't feeling it anymore. I didn't really want to be around her or hangout with her anymore and it seemed like everything she did just annoyed me. We would get in fights all the time mostly because i was just being an asshole and i don't know why. Even after all this she was still completely in love with me and heart broken when i ended it. Now i miss the fuck out of her and cant handle her not being in my life. But when i think about getting back together i get an awful feeling that it will...

Kill yourself
You Fucking know what will happen if you get back together and you still even consider it?
My roommate got back with his cheating manipulative ex and the same stupid shit is happening except they argue and fuck a lot more.
Get over it already. It's just the chemicals confusing you. Love is a lie. Reproduce and wait to die
>>16896879
Apologize to her from the heart. Ask if she will take you back.
I'm 21 and new to dating, please tell me :
Am I clingy considering the circumstances / Is she too distant even for someone really busy ?

>>16896854
you're being clingy as fuck. she's not interested
>>16896864
Good to know.
I'd like to prevent this from happening in the future.
Can someone enlighten me on how often, assuming both parties are interested in each other but just met, one texts and meets the other girl/guy ?
>>16896854
>>16896920
Find other girls to date. If you are obsessing about a girl more than she does about you, you will seen as clingy towards her. I'm confused if the three texts at the bottom of your opening post is from you or her. A girl can have a busy life but if she's really into you, she'd give up sleep just to spend time with you. If you don't pick up a girl's signals to make a move on her soon away, she'll lose interest.

Hello, I don't come to this board often but I need advice. It's a weird situation for me so I'll spell it out using the three girls I'm interested in.
>Girl 1:
Really nice
We've been dating for a while now
Longer it's gone on the more different I realize we are
Our conversations are getting dull
Haven't been on a date in while, though I talk to her at school
>Girl 2:
Have a crush/infatuation thing for her
Really nice, and funny
She's very cute
Same...

start shit between girls 1 and 2, bang both of them a couple times, then dip.
pursue girl number 3, get her parents to guilt trip her into getting with you.
if no success, go for girls 4, 5, 6...40, etc.
you're welcome
>>16896828
Not really an option.
Bump
Helicopter your dick in front of each of them. Whichever one is still into you is a keeper. You have no idea how cool it is to helicopter your dick before and after sex
Alrighty I need to find out what Internet I should get in my area.
Long story short I've lived in California up until I graduated last year and I now live with my grandfather. After working for about 5-6 months I would like to acquire some internet although I am having trouble figuring all this out at age 19.
It looks like the northern part of the United States simply doesn't have the same providers as many other parts of the country, which makes this a bit confusing for me.
I've narrowed it down to Midco and SRT although I am wondering if...

I guess it's also worth mentioning that I plan on playing online vidya as well.
I forgot to mention that I live in North Dakota...
Posted this in /g/ but it kinda threw me off so I'm gonna ask here too
Not sure if this is the right board but has anyone else had any problems with cricket? I got a call from a random number (same area code as me though) then I texted them and they said I called them and that they were calling me back but I never called them. They also sent me a screenshot of their recent calls and I wasn't in their log, but at the top of the screen it said cricket, and that's what I use. Then they said they never called me.
Anyway is cricket just shit or is someone...

Anyone?
I'm an STEM undergrad student, so I have to pay attention to the little details in excersices like numbers. But I tend to make stupid mistakes like seeing a plus where it's a minus, or changing something like "x>0" for "x<0"
What kind of excersices can I do to correct this?
Please dont make anything that could cause people serious harm if it breaks. No bridge building. No bomb engineering. No skyscrapers.
>>16896785
I'm a CS major and have the same problem. I basically just have to double check everything constantly. It's a huge pain in the ass and I still can't catch them all, and obviously the compiler doesn't think < is wrong if > is right, but it just means I have to keep rereading and checking everything and putting my code through more tests.
tl;dr constantly reread EVERYTHING and take >>16896839 advice
I actually have big respect and admiration for those who do skyscrapers abbe things like that, and I actually try to avoid doing things like that, but I don't know where I might end, so I want to start working on that now.
Any fellow lawyer / clerk bros?
I have an interview with a criminal judge tomorrow, and just need some advice. What kinda questions should I ask if, during the interview, he asks ME if i have any questions? Obviously not trying to ask anything superficial, and I already know about his current cases and the types of cases he hears.
Any help would be appreciated, thanks guys
>>16896778
bump, i know its a kind of specific question but can't think of anything so i could use the help
I have a paper to deliver of which I have to show pros and cons for a condition analogous to slavery, my subject is "Reasons that made Haitians leave Haiti and come to Brazil", I've seen several problems that lead them here and how that kind of labour is constitutionally wrong, but I have to present the other pov as well, of the employer that doesn't pay and exploits the Haitian. Can anyone help me out?
Is it more cost effective to not pay people? If it was me I'd look into that.
>>16896863
Well, you are right, but considering that it is illegal to exploit workers for over 14 hours a day with no payment I guess that this would be a weak argument.
Actually I thought of something, the employer made that person work in those conditions to make sure that s/he was capable of doing the job, so he gave that person an opportunity to show what they could do without risking to sue someone that doesn't even have all the documents to stay in our country, it's a really lame argument but it is something, right?
Hey /adv/. I'm gonna be attending an open house with a group of people. We're college students looking to rent a place next year. Problem is, there's another group also vying for the same space.
How do you nail an open house? The place is really nice and is close to the campus so we don't have to drive to it. We want to really impress the owners and convince us to be the group that rents it.
You come dressed nicely, be polite, emphasise that you're not the kind to have parties and whatnot, and most important of all: offer to pay more than the other group.
Make sure you don't give off the appearance that you smoke or might trash the place.
More females will be ideal.
>>16896755
All those are good, thanks!
>>16896759
We only have 1 female in the group but I'm fairly certain the other group is all male.
From my experience so far in life I've learned that 98% of people don't seem to care for the real me once I open up/start to feel comfortable around them. On the other hand when I fake being someone I'm not I'm liked a lot but still feel lonely because they don't even know the real me. If someone doesn't like a fake persona I don't care because that's not the real me anyway. So I can be fake and not care if I get rejected but not being able to take peoples affections seriously because it's based on a lie. All I know is there is almost never any plus side to being my real self. I'm introverted at heart but I would still like maybe just one person to connect with. I'm also a dependent person due to adult ADD. I can't learn anything that I don't really care about, which makes supporting myself challenging. I guess that's where I get a slight selfish side from. Subconsciously putting others wants before my own when I think they are all much better off than me to begin with makes as much sense as a starving person sharing 1/2 their lunch with an obese person who already ate. What do you all think I should do about it?
Probably find that one person you can be open with? I'm guessing there's a reason people don't like the 'real' you.
I've opened up gradually through the years, and some of my pals are even reconsidering why I'm even their friend. But I just do what I enjoy. If they say fuck me, then fuck them too.
Regular kiddo
>>16896738
Maybe the real you isn't all that interesting dude. Sorry. But the commie pinko liberal faggots you've had through grade school probably didn't tell you, you were a mediocre human being as to not lower your self esteem(which didn't work, your a pathetic sad sack even know)
I suggest getting your balls out of your purse, and grow the fuck up. I swear to god if anybody on this board is over 20 than this country is beyond ducked
