I can't do this hookup thing. I just can't. Tinder, Grindr, whatever. It disgusts me.
I feel like a dinosaur in the social age. I can be personable, social, even entertaining in a social setting. But this flippant warp-speed social bullshit is just beyond me. It feels vapid and worthless - a litany of meaningless interaction that amounts to nothing but wasted time and effort.
"Relationships" have been debased to the point of near worthlessness, reduced to their most simple elements and lacking...

32 here. Also just kind of waiting to die out. We grew up before the internet, hell before having a personal computer in your home was common (I happened to have several but only because my father was a computer programmer).
This is the same reason that I can't play most video games anymore. My little brothers will play the latest game online with friends, (Star Wars Battlefront for PS4) and I just don't fucking get it. Nobody really interacts, just a bunch of vapid worthless interactions with...

>We grew up before the internet
This, maybe the most important fact of the whole thing. People our age - our formative years were the among the very last of the generations to grow up in a pre-internet civilization. We remember what real interaction is...or was. For the most part that kind of stuff doesn't exist anymore.
Some of us have certainly adapted. I haven't. I can't find value in Facebook, Twitter, Tinder, whatever....

Hi /adv/
I had a "thai" green curry from the local chinese take-away since it was a new menu item.
it was not a thai green curry. it was waaay too spicy for that.
well, either the curry was bad, or i'm suddenly developing an allergy to prawns(/"shrimp"). i got a bag of prawn crackers included with my meal. i've been able to eat crustaceans fine so far, but both my parents are allergic so i'm waiting for the day when i can no longer eat them.
regardless of whether or not the prawns caused my stomach upset, the curry is its...

Why didn't you chew your root ginger properly, OP?
>>16897237
because the curry was so hot i couldn't finish chewing my mouthful before i had to take a swig of water to stop myself sweating to death

What is your favorite food and why is it my dick in your mouth?
>>16897134
That would imply you have a dick.

Bought a treadmill. It was delivered but they wouldn't bring it up the stairs. I live on the third floor and it's 120lbs. The weight is distributed in a weird way and it's extremely long. It doesn't disassemble. New town, don't know anybody here who could help. Didnnt know what I was getting into. Any ideas /adv/? I'm at Lowe's about to buy rope to try to pull it up
Maybe if you worked out moar you could /lift/.
>>16896992
i had literally this exact issue when i moved into a third floor apartment but with a big furniture item
anyway i dont have any macgyver solutions for you sadly but if you hire a handyman off craigslist or the front of home depot they will be able to manage things you hadnt thought were possible. thats what i did
>>16896992
This is going to sound a bit weird, but can you ask your neighbor for help and then give them like a small gift in return like a $15 giftcard? It's cheaper and safer than going on Craigslist and asking some stranger to come over.
How acceptable and good is it to be addicted to caffeine?
When I was a kid, I drank ungodly quantities of soda, as in entire two-liters a day (mountain dew primarily). However, 2 years ago, on my final year of high school, I decided to break my addiction and stop and consuming caffeine (I had dropped soda awhile ago and used caffeine packets). However, for the rest of the entire year I didn't feel quite like myself, and even now, a while after I graduated, I still only really feel "good" and fully aware when I drink caffeine. However, succumbing to the addiction and going full out again makes me uncomfortable for a couple reasons. I think of my heroes in fiction and they definitely don't succumb to addiction. I think of all the money I'll need to spend on caffeine. I think of all the situations where I'll need to go without caffeine and how it'll hurt me (sometimes I forgot my caffeine packets and spent entire school days groggy, sleepy, and being a fuck up). So I'm torn. Is it a good idea to get addicted to caffeine? This CGP grey video is really what kicked off my curiosity about whether it's a good idea, he hella praises it.

It's not acceptable nor is it ever good to be addicted to anything especially any nervous system stimulants
Switch to tea and forget about caffeine for a few years. It's ruining you. It ruined me and my grandma
>>16896851
Tea has caffeine. By the way, are you serious in saying caffeine ruined you? That sounded glib.
>>16896851
Tea contains caffeine. Not much lass than coffee.
Only infusions and some specific varieties contain none.
How does a short manlet living in the middle of nowhere with no money learn to protect himself?
I'm not a weak person. I can run for miles at a time and I can lift but I can't fight. I've never been in a position where I'd need to but I'd feel more confident knowing that I could in the worst case scenario considering I'm short and not intimidating at all.
Child martial arts. Try kung fu or carrot
>>16896596
this. learn martial arts. krav maga is the best for self defence. no one can fight from lifting weights. physical strength does not equal fighting ability. Power comes from technique.
You have the internet. You can watch YouTube videos, and do other research on different techniques. But honestly the only way to learn how to street fight is experience. You're gonna have to actually get in a fight and learn from it. Honestly I wouldn't worry too much about it, as long as you're cool with everybody they'll generally be cool with you.
Hello /adv/ I'm the femanon that's in the LDR if you've ever seen my trip. I have a weird situation. You can laugh at me, but I mainly wanted a fresh point of view on things.
So tomorrow I'm gonna hang out (for about three hours) from a coworker friend. This is a very rare thing considering he has work and college, and barely has any free time to himself. For some reason our schedules have aligned this small bit, and we can hang out outside of work for a short period of time.
There are mutual lustful feelings between us. I know for a fact that...

Wot game
tl;dr
>gonna hang out with coworker tomorrow for 3 hours
>mutual attraction to each other
>his is mostly sexual to me
>mine is mostly affectionate (like hugs or holding hands)
>however I have a boyfriend and don't want to betray him
>How to stay respectful to everyone?
>also, What to do while hanging out?
>>16896487
Yeah but what game is op image
like you always see shaving cream/shampoo/razor blades/vitamins marketed to men and women
is there an actual difference or just re branded snake oil
Men's shampoo usually doesn't make your hair as poofy.
>>16895929
I meant more in the term - flat out not work or even give me cancer
