Any of you guys ever bought a used car online?
I was talking with a private seller and this is what he told me:
The car is from year 2009, 90.000 Real Km. Engine is 2000 cm3 with 131 HP.
Full service history, everything was made only at OPEL garage.
The car is in perfect condition.
For the payment, we will use the shipping company for both our safety.
So after you give me your data and the delivery address the shipping company will send you the pre-contracts and after that you will deposit 50% from the total amount into the shipping company...

Sounds like a scam, to be honest.
I want to kill myself but IDK if I should stream it! Advice?
Don't kill yourself
This, but if you must, then of course stream it.
Make a razor wire noose, place it around your neck, secure it to a rafter or pipe. From there, superglue your hands to the sides of your head, and jump.
The wire will cut through your neck, and it will appear that you ripped your own head off.

I need you guys help to make me feel better. about 3 weeks ago my first ever gf who had BPD broke up with me. This happen after a week where i cut off contact with her because she said she was confused about her feelings about me and she kept thinking about some other dude she had something with right before she met me( it lasted like a week, it was nothing they didnt even had sex and he was the one who broke it off). We had been together for 3 months and it was going great( or so i thought). During those 3 months she told me that she had never felt this strong about someone...

BPD or not, people do this.
Just sounds like a young girl who cant make up her mind. Maybe wants to fuck someone else.
Stick your dick in crazy. Always a learning experience.
Why do people think that therapy is some kind of panacea for your issues? I've been in therapy for years and I still feel like shit. I've tried to fix things and I've tried to improve, but here I am, still feeling like the miserable piece of shit I was at the start.
Why does nothing help?
It's not a quick fix, you just have to stick at it.
Therapy is a tool to help you adjust, not a cure. Persistence is key.
Therapy can help with many things, maybe even most. Enough, at lease, that it deserves its place as first in line when it comes to mental health issues.
But it is not a cure-all; you're right about that. Sometimes it needs to be used in combination with other treatments. Rarely is it outright useless, but that happens sometimes too.
If therapy hasn't worked after some years, then perhaps it's time to consider broadening your tactics. Have you considered adding a psychiatrist to your mental health team?
So I'm depressed and stuff, yadda yadda, whine whine.
BUT,
I'm to fucking scared to do anything about it. Despite knowing that the correct thing to do would be to go talk to someone about it, I'm just unable to make myself do so.
I just end up procastrinating and tell myself the lie that I'm fine.
And I really do know that I should 'just do it', but therein lies the problem that I can't. I just evade it to do it later, where I just evade it again. Rinse and repeat.
What logic can snap me out of this self destructive loop...

What do you think is putting you off going? Admitting there might be a legitimate problem? Shyness about talking to a therapist? The idea that taking action might break you out of this cycle and force you into an adult lifestyle?
>>16894914
I am really not sure.
Maby just scared of taking off the blindfolds to see how far I've dug myself into this hole.
>>16894925
You have two choices OP. You can either choose to get help and improve your life or live in a self destructive loop. By procrastinating you're picking the latter. Get yourself sorted and feel better.
I've been with my boyfriend for 7, almost 8 months, things were fantastic in the beginning he was really sweet and nice but ever since Christmas he's slumped into another wave of depression (He's clinically depressed/suicidal, and on meds+therapy already). I try my hardest to make him feel a little better but it's starting to wear me down especially when he points out my flaws and gets constantly annoyed at me over the stupidest things (he got mad because I hit the ball into the goal on rocket league). He's starting to get immature, getting angry at...

Why is he depressed? You can talk to him about it and try to seek help. I can relate to your bf because I can have a short temper about trivial things ( and I get easily stressed, Which doesn't help) and sometimes I go a while without taking her out or doing things. I just scheduled my first visit with a therapist, maybe you should talk to him about doing the same.
You're not an idiot for sticking with someone you love, but you also aren't going to be able to fix him without his help.
Why's he depressed?

What do

Gensokyo is waiting for you in the other side of the door OP.
When it comes to learning how to deal with women and the pressures of sex, the best practice is to deal with women without those pressures. Get yourself some girl friends: women you're not interested in romantically, but genuinely enjoy hanging around with. As it happens, anime clubs are often good places to meet them.
U-u guise, I messed up.
So, I ride the train every day. Now I have to take an extra bag every now and again aside from the one I always have with me.
Last week I left one bag on the train. No biggy, they found it and I got it the next day.
I forgot the bag again today.
Making a mistake once is ok, but twice? In such a short time?
I could probably get the it back tomorrow at the lost property office but I'm too scared to go there again. Even though the guy was really nice..
Also, how do I stop being so clumsy and forgetful?
just go there. he might not even remember you.
easiest way is to keep the things you need to remember in sight or even touch them.

>I could probably get the it back tomorrow at the lost property office but I'm too scared to go there again
Are you friggin insane? You are human. This can happen to anyone.
>Also, how do I stop being so clumsy and forgetful?
Stop fucking worrying so much and relax, then you'll to get a healthy sleeping habits. If you sleep well, you'll get rid of your problems.
>>16894870
Just go in and get it. Laugh about your stupidity with him if he recognizes you. Remember the next time you fucking leave your stuff in public you might not be so lucky, so keep it with you.
I want to save up some money for the next 6 months and work somewhere. However, I don't want some shitty minimum wage job where I'm just idling and doing boring stuff.
I don't mind working a job that's a bit shitty or tough. The only thing that comes to mind is either waitering or construction, but I'm trying to look for other options as well, does anyone have any? PS: Is it hard to find a full time job as a waiter?
>>16894817
Apply to hospitals for janitor gigs. I only have a g.e.d., shit work experience but I got on there. Depending in what shift and day I work, I can make upwards to 21.75 an hour (WA state) normal days I make 17.75. Work is easy, every one is pretty chill.
Thanks for the reply, will consider it. Anyone else?
Dear /adv/, I'm sure you get these threads all the time but I guess I just wanted to confirm what I am doing and if you could give me tips.
Monday, I broke up with my girlfriend and we almost had a year. Currently she is in Asia for her exchange semester and breaking up through Skype was the only possible, normal, but shit, way.
We had small arguments that apparently could not be solved with our differences. I feel pretty shit today but I have an exam coming up on Monday that i need to pass.
Some things that I would like advice on:
- How to make...

Well if it isn't somehow obvious, you should definitely NOT visit her in May. See what money you can salvage from your ticket. visiting her when you're on the path to moving on is only going to fuck you up.
>>16894831
Thanks. The ticket is booked and somehow i feel like i should go to Asia but have no contact at all, so just to spend 9 days on my own there.. I'm not sure about that. Could get bad if i would be in 'her' country and i keep thinking about things.
>>16894837
Where in Asia?
hi /adv/ so long story short i saved up about 7k that i can use to make more money. But i dont know what to do with it. Any tips or advice in using 7k to make me more money?
looking for legit ways or safe options to use money to make more money.
I feel like this is a joke, but perhaps stock exchange? That's at least better than using a bank, if you know what you're doing. Job training and schooling also become more money. Investment in your health becomes more money.
>>16894795
7k is a pittance FYI. Even investing it all the best you could do is like an extra $200 a year, and that's coming the risk of not being able to touch your own money in emergencies.
You could also use it as capital to start your own business, but you'd need business skills to start off with.
So yeah, my advice is just keep like 5k liquid and start buying up index funds with rest. I think now is a good time to start out actually. Come over to /biz/ and check /rgt/ if you're American.
Plan...

How do you know if college just isn't the path for you?
Did you like Elementary, Middle, and High school?
>>16894818
Elementary school was good, middle school was okay, I had an extremely hard time in high school, especially towards the end.
>>16894826
Socially or Academically?
How can I make the most of my NEETdom?
It doesn't look like anyone will be hiring me any time soon so I'm stuck on government benefits.
I'm already lifting weights and learning guitar but surely there's more I could be doing.
What are your tips and hints?
What can I do to stay motivated?
I read and draw a lot. It's still escapism, but at least I'm learning something.
>>16894807
Reading is intellectually stimulating.
Drawing involves creating something yourself which is admirable regardless of it's quality.
If I was going to start drawing, should I use a guide or just start doing it myself and practice a lot?
>>16894809
I recently started lurking on /ic/. They have a lot of great material for learning. You can start anywhere, but fundamentals will be helpful later down the line.

Okay so about three years ago i went to Australia for a year and it was the greatest time of my life, I met great people and forged very strong relationships.
Now ever since i got back home i have not been the same and i always regretted leaving and felt like i truley belonged in Australia. Recently i have really considered
going back and i want it to be permanent but i have a few problems. First problem is i am about 10k in debt because of school and the career path i chose wont transition well over seas (i work for a railroad) so basically i...

Inb4 Fuck off Were full.
You're not gonna live forever. Your debt problem is going to stick with you regardless of where you reside.
Live your life. if that's in Aus then go for it and keep in regular contact with brother.
Where abouts in Aus did you live?
>>16894770
ever thought about doing railroading in aus? its a lot bigger than the usa, and longer trains
yes family is family but you need to be happy too. living somewhere that you dont like just to keep someone else happy just makes you a performing seal. sometimes you have to be selfish, having a dream that is just for you and just you. if you tell your brother you want to go to aus he may not understand you or your reasons. it sounds like its something you need to do for yourself.
What can I do against a disgusting herpes infection? I got two sores on my lip, swollen lymph nodes and a headache. I feel like I have a cold.
Wat do?
>>16894763
That doesnt sound like herpes.
The sores sound like they might.. But the rest doesnt.
>>16894765
I had this kind of shit before and my doctor told me it was herpes. I didn't have a headache though.
I'm kind of worried. I think I'll go see a doctor.
