Not real sure where else to ask and be taken serious.
I have found concerted effort between individuals from a campaign and a superpac to steer and manipulate online discussion on a major website. It started with one account they i have now tied to multiple staffers from a presidential campaign. The activity extends to purchasing "aged" accounts and then posting/commenting either positive for their candidate or negative for others. It would appear to be a concerted effort between campaign staff, SUPER-PAC, and hired help. The activity is too specific and has...

Thanks friend
There's nothing illegal going on in that scenario. Maybe speak to your local newspaper/radio station as a starting point?
Hello my brother is 20 years old. I am also 20 years old. He just woke up from a coma that lasted 10 years from a car accident. I'm trying to get his memory back working. He is not fully functional, but I have hope. I want to parade his memory of stuff that he can recognize and relate to. Specifically, things from 2006 and a little behind that. I'm probably looking for others that are close to our age. Just need ideas.
Are you serious?
>>16890960
We don't actually know your brother.
Just go through things you both know. Show him albums, photos, games. Whathaveyou. Assuming that missing out on his whole puberty was pretty much all that happened.
If there's more damage, like brain damage.. Well, that's out of your hands.

I'm looking for whatever brings him back. I was thinking of smells because that triggers something in the brain
. I talked to a girl for ages and she started talking to me like I was gonna be her bf mann. She was getting sexual and everything flirty. I asked her to go out on a date with me and she flaked on me and then i got home and she was in a relationship wit sum1 else. I

Serves you right for putty women in a pedestal.
I do I deal with the embarrassment I feel because of the porn I maserbate to? It seriously changes my entire self image, makes me feel lower than everyone else around me and makes me apprehensive about opening up intimately with people because I don't want them to know about that part of me. I have actively avoided people because of it. I just want to feel like myself again, and like I can express myself to others without shame

Stop wanking you silly billy
Cut your dick off.
>>16890905
as long as you aren't rubbing it to kiddie porn there isn't really anything wrong with it.
I'd advice to start doing some other things besides being alone in your room. Work out outside or go to a public library to study.

Start with "hey, anonnette told me we'd get along and that I should add you. How's life?"

Never, fucking ever follow a women advice on dating.
They don't even know what is good for them, let along what is good for others, specially men.

Ironic that you post that on an advice board...
I'm a drug-addled organic chemist with no money who really likes shoegaze, memes and old books. I'll probably be a doctor at some point but cannot relate to my peers or form enjoyable relationships, so the prospect of dying alone is beginning to loom.
Where do I go to find a girl who is a retard like me and willing to spend the rest of her life with a retard like me?
>>16890874
Shoegaze concerts I guess
The best way to meet people like you is to join groups with similar interests.
Shoegaze is tricky because at this point shoegaze is fashionable, which means hip people surround the scene. But try going to related, more niche/outsider scenes, like the noise scene, the goth/darkwave scene, the avant-garde scene, or something like those. Old books is a more promising lead because readers are a very specific group, especially once you eliminate trash (romance, paperback thrillers, etc.) readers. There are places to find fans of classics, and antiquity.
Do you think you...

There is only a marginal shoegaze scene in the small European country I live in. I was diagnosed with asperger's as a child and had an awkward adolescence, even though I had a girlfriend for a year. I wouldn't consider myself autistic, if I can find someone I relate to then I have no difficulty forming a relationship, it's just I've arrived at the point in my life where I don't meet new people, and I'm terribly frightened of any unfamiliar interactions for no particular reason.
I...

In your opinion, how many dates should two people go on before they reach that exclusive stage?
Until the date where they talk about it and say, "Hey, I don't want to see anyone else."
Only after you agree to be in a relationship.
>>16890856
Personally.. I'm waiting for the third date to see how I feel about it. Still want to get to know her a bit more.
Hi /adv/ !
So i have this problem since i'm a kid, i'm currently 19 and as the title says, i just don't know how to be nice. Well in appearance, at least.
The thing is i AM a nice person i believe, i have a lot of empathy for everyone, and i have never felt hate for anyone, even people i don't really like, i have an infinite love for my friends.
But the thing is, i have this kind of bitter attitude most of the time, i like throwing cutting remarks to people humorously to my friends but also to people i don't know much, it's always humor...

But the thing is i don't know how to correct that, because even if i know my friends love me as i am, i know i can be really annoying sometimes, and i really don't want to. It's just my humor, i try to control it but it always comes back. And i figured out i don't even really know how to be nice, and that's probably because i've always considered people that are just "nice" as boring, and i don't feel like coming up to people and being nothing but nice because i'm scared that they'll think i'm seeking for attention...

you are not polite
if you can present it with some humour ppl will still like you
you have to forget fake ppl who always smile and talk bullshit though, they cannot understand you
I'm asking for suggestions, rather than judgement.
What are ways that I can be submissive to one woman while we are apart, without the other woman (that I live with and share a bed with) finding out? I would love to have the first woman lock me into a chastity device, but there's no way that I could keep that hidden, and it would lead to too many awkward questions.
Maybe she could tie a ribbon onto me instead, to mark me as belonging to her.
>>16890831
If nobody has any nice ideas then I'm just going to go ahead and get a tattoo.
>>16891554
When is it okay to give up on seeking relationships? I don't really think I'm good relationship material and feel my efforts are in vain.

I feel devastated, /adv/.
First, a little background. My mom is divorced and I live with her and my brother. She got fired of her job (more like, "invited to quit") and we are living enterely on my minimun wage job, plus some money from my dad. We are third worlders.
On her last job, she met a rocker guy. drummer of a shit tier ska band. They were together for two years until very recently when they broke up when my mom found out she had another relationship, and that he was only using her for sex.
One day, my mom let her Facebook open. What I...

With the possible exception of the money, absolutely none of this is any of your business.

>waste cash on dumb shit

try moving away from your dumb whore of a mother anon
Haha what a slut
You're basically a cuckold, anon :DDD
I need to convince myself of an irrational belief, or else I'm going to eventually kill myself.
Specifically I need to convince myself that my tinnitus is a sign of my special purpose, that it is the sound of God.
Is it even possible to actually end up believing a belief you artificially created in order to help you
Should I repeat a mantra to myself for an hour every day? I'd try anything that isn't immoral, because the alternative is death.
Read up on Mystics and saints. Something batshit is always happening to them. Start with...eh, Hildegard von Bingen.
>>16890741
Why kill yourself? Because tinnitus sucks? There is actually therapy that can help eliminate or lessen tinnitus, you should look into it.
>>16890771
>There is actually therapy that can help eliminate or lessen tinnitus
Actually that therapy is more or less what OP is trying to achieve. "Reframing".
Hello Anon, i need /adv/ices about New York City and how to find fortune in it.
I live in Italy and i've decided to leave my country and try build a new life abroad. I don't find a job here and anyway its boring as hell.
- My budget is around 15000 euro (lifetime savings).
- I don't have any disability apart from a weak sight (cannot be fixed with glasses, laser or other tecniques)
- My grammar is shitty, but i'm fluent due to years spent talking with strangers online.
- I don't have any degree, never finished Uni
- I worked as a...

Do a little research.
You can't just move to the USA, get a job and live happily ever after.
The only way you can get into the US is with a tourist visa, which has a time limit and absolutely forbids you from working.
The only way you can work in the US is with a work visa, but you have to have a US employer fill out the forms guaranteeing you the job and convincing the US officials you're not stealing the job from a citizen - and this all has to be done BEFORE you come to the US.

Go for australia, you are not equipped to NY.
Think of this as being like jumping into a pool. The midwest is the 3ft section. Everyone welcome. The South is the 5 ft depth. So long as you're okay up to your shoulders, you'll do alright. The west Coast and most of the north east too is the 9 feet. You can drown there, but hopefully a lifeguard gets to you first.
NY is the piranha infested 20 ft deep murky swamp next door. Not only can you drown immediately, there's predators who will eat you alive as you do. There's a million homeless people, everything smells like piss and no one gives a shit...

>Got part-time retail job

What should I do?
Stop making mistakes.
>>16890721
Dude you just do your job
Ask other people that know more than you before your boss.
Don't fuck around.
If he's still bitching let him just get your paycheck and apply at another place.
Some bosses are just dicks cause their life is apparently hard.
>>16890762
As someone who occasionally had to deal with employee's that slack off and think they can skate.
Not much you can do.
You've probably cemented yourself as a shit tier employee.
If i'm your boss, I'm going to watch you for a while and start giving you less and less hours or else start keeping tabs 'til you fuck up too much and I just decide you're not worth it and fire you.
Too many people nowadays, especially young ones, feel like they can jerk off on Facebook...

does anyone else have this feeling, the feeling like the whole world and everyone in it, is a big club house, and your the only one not in the club?
I feel so disfranchised, like I don't belong anywhere. Maybe it could be where I live or who I am. I tried making myself look and feel more "white" but I seem to only be getting it wrong, and turn to plotting my own death and demise.
Why can't I shake this feeling. like i'm not apart of the world, Im just looking into it. like a satellite.
>>16890674
It happens. I'd say the world is more like a lot of small club houses, and you only have to get into one of them to belong somewhere. With 7 billion people in the world, there should be plenty of people like you. The problem is finding them.
Look for chances to chat with people at school or work. Go to events or do some kind of group activity that looks interesting, and you'll at least have that in common with the people there. It probably won't go well for a while, but it'll get better...
