Say a person likes to take pictures and they live in Seattle, but these pictures are of people in public, is doing so legal? These people are on public property such as playgrounds soo this guy isn't really doing anything illegal correct? Keep in mind doing this makes him feel happy when he's having a shitty day.
If you're a guy, taking pictures in playgrounds will get the police called on you. You can take pictures in more neutral places, but stay away from places where children gather. Actually, just dont take pictures of children at all.

If the police do come you can't get in trouble you're not doing anything wrong ....like I said it makes this person feel happy if they've had a shitty day a university. He can't tell his friends or GF cause he knows they wouldn't understand.
>>16855499
You don't have to pretend it isn't about you. It's not illegal but it will get you hassled, and if you cause trouble for the police they will get a warrant to search your devices for child pornography, particularly if you do this a lot.
You should consider taking pictures of something else, why kids in particular, man?
Hey I spose here may be a good place to ask.
I starte growing these guy's this is my first time growing they are oj koosh strain. And nearly a month old seedlings I'm wondering what time would be best to seperate them now when they are less established in the soil or later when they are more mature.
Any advice on re potting these would be appreciated.
>oj koosh
>>16855467
Seperate from sprouting.
You are going to need more soil coosh can surpas 2m if left long enough.
Usually look at around 4 month turnover if grown indoors.
I have the option to study mechanical engineering at the University of Illinois. What is this field like and what things should I know before I choose whether or not to enroll?
I don't work in the field, but I am an engineering student. Not sure if I'm going for chemical or nuclear, but my school axed it's nuclear program for an "Applied Math and Physics" program. I suspect internal fuckery was responsible as I seriously doubt that the cause was "insufficient funding for such a niche degree".
That said, it's a lot of math. Lots of chemistry and physics. I'm not that big on mechanical engineering, but I know that some people really like it.
>>16855462
I took mechatronics engineering - half of my papers were mechanical papers and quite a few had a focus on design (mechanisms and overall design), which I enjoyed. Mechanics of materials (strength and analysis) was a real pain though, but that's only because I had a shitty bunch of lecturers for that course.

Just fail it and take it as a lesson you had to have learned the hard way.
So my boyfriend and I have been together for close to 3 years. We've gone back and forth between having constant sex, and only have sex once every week or two (sometimes longer...). However lately I don't feel like he's feeling very attracted to me. I'm not that bad looking (honestly) and if I do say so myself I look pretty good in my slutty bras and panties. While he'll comment that I look great and I'm beautiful, it doesn't really go any further than that. I seriously just prance around our place in my bra and panties trying to get him to pay attention to me (stick his dick in me) but it's not working. Considering his seemingly lack of interest I don't want to throw myself at him just for him to awkwardly not be in the mood.
Any suggestions of inevitable ways to turn him on or bring back some "spice" into our relationship? As someone who would happily have sex daily this is getting rough for me.
Shameless bump, pls help
>>16855448
You gotta talk it over with him family, explain how you want to be held down and soundly dicked.
Ruling out other women and pornography, there's some sort of self esteem issue at fault. Tread lightly, because if he thinks you feel bad, he's gonna feel bad more.
What's his health like? Are you noticably more attractive than he is?
>>16855448
you have been with him about 3 years and can't properly communicate with him about your sexual needs?

What book have you read that has helped you a lot or you think it can help a person a lot? Preferably, give a brief summary of what it teaches.
A lot of self improvement books out there are garbage so it's hard to find the quality stuff. The books that are usually good are the ones that don't peddle quick fixes and recognize the need to take the longer route to fix oneself, and the ones that cover the whys of the actions you do, like for instance why you are so lazy.
Here are some of the ones I read that I found very useful:

You're a fucking tool dude.

This, try reading books about people who have just lived lives.
>Meditiations by Marcus Aurelius
It's the diary of a Roman goddamned Emperor. He's smart as shit, super humble and truly in control of himself, and he's introspective about all of it.
The first "chapter" is basically him talking about everything he has that he's thankful for. Material possessions gets a single passing mention, and no mention is made of being thankful for being the emperor....

>Reading a completely generalised book written by someone who doesn't know you in hopes that it will help your personal problems that a specific you yourself.
It's a ridiculous concept that relies on most people not accepting that complex problems can have simple solutions.
The most effective self help comes from finding out what you want to achieve in life, getting out of your comfort zone to achieve it, and keeping good company.
Idiot here, is this girl being flirty with me?
>>16855423
Without any context at all, it sounds at best passive aggressive
I mean you know her better than we do. Pull your head out of your daydreams of her and objectively examine how you two interact

>Idiot here, is this girl being flirty with me?
Even if she is, it doesn't mean she's dating material.
honestly you should be thinking more about the boogie man
I earn about $70,000 CAD per year pre-tax, this being my first job out of college. I owe about $25,000 in student loans, paying at prime (5%). I can claim the interest paid on this loan in my tax return as an expense in Ontario.
My post tax earnings we can say is approximately 45,000 (should be slightly more). I'm trying to figure out how much I should pay towards my student loans, how much I should contribute to specific investments, and if I should start maxing my employer's matching fund. They offer a 3% match on RRSP and 3% in company stocks.
I am paying...

Dude, I'm living in a shifty basement on a mattress.
Do you know what you could do with just 100 of those dollars?
Pay off student loans unless your investments can outearn the interest accrued.

So, my parents bought festival tickets where pic related will close the night, since we both like them, they bought me a ticket and invited me to go with them.
Now i regulary go out with my parents(2-3 times a year,not that much) which is great,might sound weird to alot of people who never do this kind of thing with their parents,but they are still young enough to party,atleast around here its normal(im 25 they are 45) ,since i moved out and to another city this is one of the ways we still see eachother regurarly ,but normally it is going somewhere where i know some friends...

Beat up a muslim.

Why do you have to be sober?
I would have no problem hanging out with my parents for 12 hours, I don't see how this is a problem.
>>16855402
we do have a muslim problem over here like every other european country, but i prefer to beat them up on my own time not when going out. I can't multitask you know.
We broke up 4 weeks ago. I think it was a good thing, I was desperate and couldn't live without her. But now, she's fallen in love with my best friend of years. I've tried to have nothing change, but whenever we're together, he texts her constantly. He cares about her, and she's been through a lot of shit, but whenever he does, I can't stand it. I want my ex to talk to me, and tell her if I was really bad enough towards the end of the relationship that she doesn't want to speak to me ever again. Or, that we all become friends, and my best friend...

Get over it.
Just disregard everything they do together, and don't let it ever get under your skin.
Hello /adv/, first time posting on this board but here it goes; I'm 20 years old, male, only ever had one girlfriend whom I broke up with a few months ago, and I've been talking to this new girl for about a month now. She is a bigger girl (I don't mind that because I'm on the larger side myself) with a fucking gorgeous face. We get along really well, flirt a lot, and we have very similar sense of humor, same interests, ect., unlike my ex with whom I felt I could never be myself around. And I'm starting to develop some really serious feelings for her,...

> I asked her out and she said she didn't feel like she knew me well enough and wanted to wait and get to know each other better.
That's some bullshit excuse, this is EXACTLY the goal of dating.
Ask her out again, don't make a big deal out of it, if she says the same thing, tell her that. If she still doesn't want to, she's not interested, move on.
>>16855340
Ask her out again, if she gives you the same BULLSHIT line of "I want to get to know you better" then come back (nicely) with something along the lines of "That's what dating is for." If she doesn't want a date, then just ask her out for lunch or coffee. If she still turns you down, that's her tough luck and you should cut her off and move to the next.
Yes I know you've developed REALLY REALLY intense feelings for her. That's life, kid. Prepare for many disappointments...

How did you two meet?
The university I'm going to get my engineering degree at just eliminated it's nuclear engineering program and absorbed it into a different program (applied mathematics and physics). It still has other engineering programs.
Can you still get a job as a nuclear engineer if you have only a chemical engineering and mathematics degree undergrad?
Probably, there's a good amount of crossover. My uni has a top ten chem E program but we don't even have a nukeE. There's a reason I'm sure
>>16855500
It feels sort of like a shakedown with all of the Masters programs in Nuclear Engineering being offered right now. They just want another pound of flesh, or so it seems.
Any physics based major should be alright. There will definitely be nuclear modules and you'll learn the core of what you need. You can always transfer or do further study later.
There are very few specific NEng programs worldwide but obviously the demand is huge, so naturally most are going to be coming from other relevant courses.
When you look at someone in the eyes, can you gauge their intelligence, or am I just imagining things?
>>16855329
You're just imagining things.
When I watch TV and see people being physically abused, I can't help but think how nice it must be to do the same, to hurt someone so much that they're like temporarily crippled, in a sense (either physically or emotionally, but not permanently scar them though) and then tenderly nurse them until they're okay again.
But then, the rest of the time I wish that instead of physically and emotionally dominating someone else, I was the one who was completely dependent on someone else (perhaps not being beaten in the same way) but otherwise, like a child.

He's back
i think you should talk to someone about this, probably a counselor or therapist. This sort of thinking is not good/healthy for you or anyone else. If you go down that road, it will only become worse for you.Calm down and think through it

This is my first time posting here, sorry

I have to go see a counselor soon, so I'll discuss it with them then, thanks
