Thank you!!
I've got the work and home phone numbers of my father who I have never met.
I want to meet him, but he's a very successful person and I have heard his reaction upon me contacting him will probably be embarrassment.
>>16896373
try to get his address. send him a personal letter. a letter lets you send the message to him and say exactly what you feel you need to say without being interrupted or assumptions being made. the personal touch helps.

Lol, I'm a guy, more emotional than most but still.
>>16896396
my bad, i assumed daughter. i think you might have a better chance at meeting him. does he have any other children in his current life? sons in particular?
but like i said, just make sure in the first message you insist this isn't about getting anything from him. just that you want to meet. it may end with that one conversation. it ma go great places. but you get the idea.
personal letters are more real. an email the first assumption is 'is this a scam? or a prank?' phone calls are...

you cant be expected to go to court for an unknown reason. thats not how the law works. either they served you or they didnt.
if you have a court date you HAVE to know why, otherwise you wouldnt be able to have your own legal team ready.
on top of that, if it was rape there'd be cops involved. you dont really 'sue' over rape. you press charges. and for that police have to be involved.
Your lawyer doesn't contact you about a rape charge.
Tell the truth... don't get angry or defensive. Say your sorry for any misunderstanding... kill everyone with kindness. Bring your family. Hug your mom ect. Keep eye contact with anyone asking you questions...
I currently have 2 direct paths to take in my life.
The first is the obvious "study life"
I currently have a few more subjects i need to complete to get my HS diploma.
After that i will have to look forward to 3 years studying in college for a B-degree in computer engineering.
After that i have the possibility to study 2 more years for a Masters.
The second choice is to accept the job offer i got to work at a call center in a tourist island.
My pay would be rather low but i will have lots of opportunities to earn more the better I do.
I...

Are you talking about doing the job before you've gotten your HS diploma, or just before college?
If the latter, it sounds like a pretty easy decision to make. [spoiler] take the job [/spoiler]
>>16896355
Do the study life. It will open up more opportunities for you as time passes
>>16896498
Could you explain why I should do it?
Pros/cons etc.
How can I get my boyfriend to wear panties, to stop overloading the washer with his bulky underwear?

I bet you'd love the feel and loving cradle of a pair of panties.
I have a brand new laptop, full of bloat ware. I would like to clean install Windows 10 but I am afraid I will be risking my computer's functionality in doing so. I can't seem to find any straight answer so I'll ask here: is doing a clean install of Windows on a laptop safe? I am a bit iffy on getting the drivers back installed.
>>16896330
yes. worse comes to worse, you'd just pirate windows 7 (which is essentially legal at this point
>>16896339
If you're still here, I'm at a point where I must delete or keep partitions. Is it safe to just delete them all and install the Windows file?
>>16896407
thats generally what you do. otherwise you'd have seperate partitions. hope you savfed the files you want to keep on an external tho
Where the fuck can I take an actual IQ test? I want to pay for an actual accredited and professionally administered Stanford binet or Wechsler test. I've tried googling around for testing centers and such but I haven't found anything. Are there any nationally recognized companies that do this stuff?
Mensa, probably
IQ tests are not accurate. Its how you perceive the question. Everyone thinks differently there is no wrong or right.
>needing to prove IQ
>thinking IQ means shit
Diagnoses: Autism.
I'm a psychology and neuroscience major and I'm really into the content. But it's changing the way I think for the worst I feel.
I'm constantly paranoid about myself and others. I feel like there's so much wrong with me and everything in my life. Based on what I've learned, I feel like a lot of it is beyond my control. I feel like my genetics and slightly fucked up last decade have ruined me. None of the advice people give me means anything because I feel like they have no idea what they're talking about, like if it disagrees with any widely...

You are human there is nothing wrong with having faults.No one is perfect under a microscope. Its your decisions you make that will decide for yourself who you are.
>>16896277
I'm not a neuro-scientist, I can only give you advice that has worked for myself and others. For most people, that is enough evidence of truth to follow the advice, but for you, since I can't cite any studies or papers to back up what I say, I got nothing.
Let go of your pride there, college boy, and partake of some common wisdom, even if your 'highly developed mind' can't fully grasp it. That ego is gonna fuck you into more misery than you can yet comprehend.
>>16896350
It's not even an ego thing. I'm not trying to brag. I can't stop myself from thinking this way and agree that it's excessive and unhealthy. That's what I've always tried to do, but it doesn't seem to work anymore. I figure I need to change my entire perception which I admittedly have no idea how to do, realistically
Looking for a new apartment and I came across this.
>A little about us: We are 2 UAlbany students (both 20 years old). We're pretty chill, not big into the party scene
>$600 a month includes ults
I'm 28, am I too old to live with 20 year olds?
Generally speaking? No. Will you get sick of their relative immaturity? Probably.
You old as fuck for them. They would annoy the fuck out of you

>Reposting from last night
Long story short, my ex and I still hang out, largely because we still have college classes together. She's met a new dude and when I learned that I immediately made sure it was okay her and I still hang out.
>I'm completely over her romantically, she's just a great friend
She says he knows about us, and that he's fine with us spending time together. But often when we hang out it goes way into the morning, like 4am plus, even though it's literally just us...

i'd feel pretty suspicious desu
id feel awful, but since you told the guy is cool with it, fuck it. the moment he starts feeling jealous you stop hanging out. simple as that.
>>16896263
The guy will tell ur ex to to stop talking to you. itll happen. Then shell have to choose. If she chooses you youll get together again.
I started dating my gf instantly after she broke up with her ex. She asked me if she can meet him. I said no. Best decision of my life.
I'm terribly hungry.
I've been unemployed for some time now, but going to school.
I'm going to school for a bullshit, humanities degree.
I'm considering dropping out to pursue an entry-level tech job.
What knowledge should I acquire before applying at businesses?
I know I should look into servers, routers, switches and basic Linux OS.
Any and all advice is helpful, thanks.
>>16896247
seems like you want to get into IT ? the only IT-related job you'll get without experience, certificates or some IT "degree" is a helpdesk job.
>>16896266
Basically this, but go for
A+, network+, security+, Linux+ certifications before you attempt any entry level job.
Fortunately all those courses are free online, you just have to pay for the exams.
Around July next year, gonna be travelling to Ireland to meet my girlfriend for the first time. We'll have been together around two and a half years by that point.
I'm in England, so it's not a huge journey. Is it better to travel by plane or ferry? If I travel by ferry I'd have to drive almost five hours to the port, but if I travel by plane, it's only an hour or so to the airport. However, the ferry is much cheaper than a plane ticket and a passport. Which would be better?
Anything specific I should bring with me?
Also, since it's...

Got a tattoo two days ago on the inner part of my elbow (cover up) its bruised like a mother fucker and hurt like hell. Is this normal?
>>16896214
probably.
sexy tats tho.
I googled it and every post said it was normal for it being in such a sensitive spot and my tattooist having to stretch my skin. Guy who did it got scared because as soon as the ink entered i started to welt up and bruise on the spot
Can somebody give me the 100% socially autistic man's guide to meeting new people? I got lucky before and had one friend who introduced me to many mutual friends, but now I'm alone in a new town and have no clue how to start conversations or make meaningful relationships, platonic or otherwise. I only say meaningful because this is pretty much my permanent residence now, so I'm looking to make some good friends. Any help is appreciated
>>16896179
>100% socially autistic
if you are really autistic you should be talking to your therapist / psychiatrist about this, not strangers on a taiwanese peanutbutter recipe sharing pictograph forum. you can also look for local groups of special needs people (particularly autistic) who meet up to bond over their legitimate issues.
>>16896179
>>16896210
that being said, if you arent actually autistic then stop calling yourself autistic. its like saying you have anxeity or depression so you cant do something. all these labels do when they dont actually apply to you (and even often when they do apply to you) is hold you back.
autistic people are capable of making friends. i would know, im actually friends with an autist.
as for making friends, you go to local events, preferrably ones run...

I'm good at learning languages and i want to travel the world and work with people from different nationalities.
What career should I pursue and what major?
Major in Languages.
Become an Ambassador to the Country who's language you like most.
Sit and do nothing while making 6 figures per year.
Anything with high value really. If you're from the US you should go to a university in a different country (makes no sense to move *after* being financially butt-raped). If you're not from the first world you'll need a bit more tactics.
>>16896141
Move to Sweden, or any other Western European country. They're very multicultural and are proud that so many people of so many nationalities and cultures and language all live in their country.
You'll never have to leave the country to experience other nationalities ever again.
