Okay I have absolutely the worst procrastination habit. It's starting to affect my school attendance since I skip class to buy more time to do an assignment. Any hip or stylin' tips and tricks to help a homie out?
>>16862980
Drink waaay more caffeine. Nighttime/early morning is a great untapped well of procrastination opportunities once you get rid of the need for sleep.
>>16862980
people are motivated by one of two things
>themselves
>other people
all external motivation comes from people. whether its your kids, and your desire to keep them fed, or your slave master, and your desire to keep him from whipping you.
so if you cannot motivate yourself (pro-tip: you're in for a mediocre life) then ask someone else to motivate you.
friends, family, roommates, whoever you see most consistently and doesnt...

Is it a bad idea to masterbate the night before a big test?
>>16862970
yes, absolutely
Yes you don't have to have trouble getting it up during the big test. This is assuming the big test is sex with a woman and not an academic test. Because that would be a retarded question if it was.
I have a test tomorrow and I want to smoke a bunch of dank marihana and drink beer to get cross-twisted.. SHould I do it?
So recently I found out that my girlfriend lied to me, lie wasn't even that much big, we were sitting and talking so I asked her out of blue if she likes pictures of guys on social media, I wouldn't get mad because of that if she didn't swear that she doesn't, she even got mad that I asked. Next day she wanted to show me some stupid video on instagram so she had to go to liked pics to find it, she moved back a bit so I couldn't see but I actually saw. I broke up immediately just because she was lying, she then begged me not to break up, I asked her to...

That's pretty harsh bro, especially since she was probably hiding it because she thought you would be mad.
Töte ihr.
>>16862981
she says that she liked those pictures just out of boredom, like listing through the main page and liked
would believe that if she didn't like 3 pictures of one guy that weren't even posted in the same time, difference was days so it's obvious that she entered his profile to like them
I can't stop eating or drinking. It's become a legitimate addiction for me. I don't want this for myself, but i can't stop.
I've tried AA, I've tried SMART, I've tried praying, I've tried working out, I've tried becoming a workaholic, I've tried delving into my hobbies, I've tried all that shit, but I simply can't stop for longer than 6 months.
FUCK what do I do?
>>16862957
If you got time, only buy food for the day. Bring cash, no credit cards. You'll get used to it. Or think about why you need to eat that much, its kinda like a drug so...
Sleep more and drink water, 1l to 2l try to eat less sugar food
you can eat what you need a day little by little if that can help
Start lifting weights. Works great to relieve any stress or whatever. Plus drinking kills gains, so if you get obsessed with lidling you have yet another reason not to drink

Hey advice...I need some advice.
I'm a 22 year old guy who since November been working as a financial analyst in a hedge fund. I finished my degree in finance last year with amazing marks, having topped a few subjects throughout my time. This is my first 'real' job in the industry.
I am depressed, anxious and sick of everything and its only been a short amount of time. The people in the industry are nothing short of terrible in both character and work ethic, I wake at 4:30am and go to bed at 8:30am with no time for myself in between. I have no friends,...

Just hang in there until you finish dying on the inside, it will be easier after that.
>>16862942
Unfortunately that's not an option. I made the mistake of thinking this industry was for me but I don't want it to become myself before its too late.
Quit. If it doesn't make you happy, fuck it
I've had my gf over alone in the house like 3 times. Last time, had gotten to second base but in the middle of making out and shit she told me she was getting super tired and wanted to head home. Is she trying to avoid sex? She seems really into the making out part. I can never tell what she's thinking
Just start undressing her, senpai
How do I become a popular anime fag twitter user? I have no friends

Have you seen the people on twitter with anime or manga icons? Their tweets are guaranteed to be funnier
also I am autistic what the fuck
I don't know what is wrong with you goys, but this thread needs some lovin
This must be the most common problem on here. But the person I've been in love for a while has came to me for advice on someone who they had a crush on. I asked them to describe the person and they described every little detail of our current friendship and my personality and such. I don't know if I should act now and ask if it was about me or just don't to not make an ass of myself?
>>16862891
Just ask man. Fuck it. For once don't give a flying fuck and do whatever you want.
It was a huge hint. You're fine and have nothing to worry about. Go for it
>>16862891
They described the person they had a crush on.
Because you have a crush on them, you saw similarities and thought they were talking about you.
It isn't you.
Trust me, I'd know, I was stuck in the friendzone wayyy to long. She did eventually fall for me (but that bridge burned before we ever made it across).
My point is, don't get your hopes up.
Just give her cliche's like;
>Be yourself.
>Just talk...

Is it weird to date a girl that has the same name as your mom?
Not if you have a 3 way
Avoid calling her name during sex.
Yes!
Hello /adv/
Here's my situation. I just put a warhammer fantasy skaven army onto ebay. I calculated it out to under $500.00. I put it up on ebay for $200.00
I get a message asking me if I will accept an offer. I responded and he/she sent me this.
Thanks for your response, I will like to offer you $650.00 for the Warhammer/AOS Skaven Army. If my offer is been accepted the payment will be made through check. I will send the check via mail and my mover will only come over for pick up when you notify me that the check has been verified and cleared by your...

yes it is a scam, sending checks way more than the amount you asked for is all fake
the check will go through and a few days later it wil bounce back and u will owe that money. happened to me once when i was trying to find a roommate
Scam
"Fund my paypal account" - Paypal is linked to your bank account... the same way a check is.
Literally any buyer on ebay that tries to make you do a transaction OUTSIDE of ebay is a scammer.
Why the heck can't they just hook up their checking acct to paypal?
It's literally the point of paypal-a convenient way to sync bank accounts and cards etc through a virtual account.
If theyre willing to pay you through a tedious check system, something's probably up because syncing their account to paypal or just transferring the funds like a normal ecommerce user is far more convenient.
***also, if youre on ebay you should be able to check out their feedback as a buyer.
How do I ask someone if they want to hang out? More specifically, how do I get over the anxiety that comes from expecting them to say no which then ends up with me never making an effort to ask.
Pick something chill to do. Like movie, or play video games at friends house. Lower expectation. And just have fun

This gets me into trouble more often than not, but I have a great method of getting over anxiety.

>how do I get over the anxiety that comes from expecting them to say no which then ends up with me never making an effort to ask.
You don't.
Or rather, you stop waiting to not be anxious. That's a vicious cycle: the only way to get over anxiety about a thing is to do that thing, so as long as you wait to not be anxious first, it will never happen. The only way to get over it is to fight through it. Even then, you usually have to repeat the process several times. But...

Hey /adv/, my names fucked.
So one night, drunk, I posted on this anon. app, "I want a girlfriend that looks like a boyfriend." This girl replied saying she wanted to talk because she was a 'tomboy' so we have been on a different app(no phone numbers) for three days now. We are really hitting it off and we seem like a good match.
The problem is when she eventually wants to meet up. I am disabled and only have one arm, moderately bad acne, and I am 15 pounds over weight. The acne and weight I can work with but I feel like the one arm thing is...

Unless anyone has input I will just wait it out. Hopefully she'll be a dude or something and none of it will matter.
You should tell her about the arm. Don't worry about it too much, I think she'll understand. If she doesn't, well, she wasn't worth it at all. People who can't deal with your dissabilities should be out of your life anyway. In fact, if I have to be completely honest, I think the acne problem is more important than the fact that you don't have an arm, and you shouldn't be worried about it either because it's not that hard to get rid of it, neither is to lose weight. Just try it.
As I said: if she accepts you as you are, great. If not,...

>Only have one arm
Mention that
>Moderately bad acne
A little foundation won't hurt, also drink more water and eat less trash.
>15 pounds overweight
Nobody's really gunna notice.
Basically
>I'd love to meet up, but before we do, I need to let you know. I've only got one arm
How can I help my friend? She's fifteen and she shows up to school almost every day on Mollie or some pills or some shit. Every day we tell he to stop but she doesn't listen. Advice?
>>16862850
>15
Im guessing you're also 15. Please vacate immediately.
>>16862850
Let her do her thing. The more you try to control her, the more distance she'll create. She'll wise up, die, or get knocked up soon enough, and there is nothing at all your boring ass can do to stop it.
>>16862850
She's self destructive.
She likes the sympathy and attention you give her, so you're actually fueling her problem by trying to help her.
The only thing you can do to actually help her is to tell her parents or an authority figure and to get her actual help from a therapist and a drug counsellor. You(who I assume is 15-17 years old) have not been trained on how to help someone in he way that she needs help. Please tell an adult and get her professional help
I wanna quit my fast-food job. It's taking a toll on my education.
How long should I hold the job for it to be "work experience"?
>>16862835
>fast-food job
>work experience
What.
Work experience is only beneficial if you leverage it as "customer service" "teamwork" or some other cliché business skill you see as a desireable trait in job ads. I'd personally think 3mo. is enough to prove that you've attained a skill, but résumés are there to get you interviews, not jobs (though they can be the determining factor if the employer is stuck between choosing applicants).

How long have you been working there
