3rd month of unemployment since graduating and I don't even hear a "thanks but no thanks" from 85% of jobs I apply for.
Meanwhile cunt of a friend who lives on welfare is about to go on holiday in India on taxpayers money.
What is an honest, hard working scientist meant to do these days? Too old and too expensive to stack shelves or throw burgers at people and too young and inexperienced to get a proper job.
I am currently facing down the barrel of potential military service to stave off unemployment and I am not looking forward to it one bit.
What do?
Australian shitposter btw.
What kind of degree you have?
>>16809264
>Science degree
In what ? Major ? Comp Sci ?
>potential military service
Our military is pretty good. High pay in comparison to others. Could apply to be an officer with that science degree.
Even rifleman is like 50k+ per year to shoot guns and be in the nature.
>>16809264
>3rd month of unemployment since graduating
Not that this helps you, but it's a cautionary tale for others: start focusing on getting a job well before you graduate.
Anyway.
>Too old and too expensive to stack shelves or throw burgers at people
No you're not. If you have bills, do what you need to do to pay them, even if it's bullshit work. You don't have to put it on your resume. I dunno anything about Australia so don't really have much else to offer. I like temp agencies a lot to find part time work.
Holy shit, I just started my second semester of college and I regret it already. The classes are ridiculously easy, the people are boring as hell (as in a lot of them are fucking pussies and frown upon screwing around) and I'm broke/carless, meaning I can't do anything worthwhile with people.
How the hell do I make college more interesting? Where do I meet the kind of people that are actually willing to fuck shit up and have fun instead of just drinking and doing their boring, normie bullshit?
I need to hold out for three, four more months until I'm drop out and enlist in the military, so give me some ideas. I don't want to enlist in the military as a virgin loser with no good stories to tell from college.
>>16809077
It's what you make of it. If you're bored and lonely, that's on you. Take more interesting classes, make some effort to make friends
>>16809091
I am. My saving grace is that I know how to talk to people, somewhat. Classes are non negotiable, since they're mostly general classes that count as credits that I actually need.
>make effort to make friends
How? I talk to people, I get acquainted with them and we greet each other every time we come across each other. but that's pretty much it. How do I meet people with a similar mentality? The only group of people I've actually gotten along with are veterans and a few people that come from poor backgrounds, and that's only because they aren't the dimwitted pseudo intellectual college grounds are cursed with.
Having the same experience OP. only that next semester I begin my third year. Made some good connections but have not met someone that I can call on a Saturday night to get some drinks.. Everyone always seems so busy with work or has something going on. Anyone have some advice?
I met this girl a few months ago. We hit it off really well but she had a boyfriend. She finally broke it off with him after being together with him for 2 years. We get along great and we hang out but she wants to be single and enjoy being on her own for a bit. Problem is i really love this girl and want something between us. But she thinks our connection is to strong for her to feel single and is now distancing herself. I stopped talking to her so i wouldn't push her any more than i have, being afraid i might ruin something.
Should I keep talking to her? What do i do in this? I just feel off not talking to her now and it honestly hurts.
hay brhoe,
leave her be, after relationships things get pretty emotional. give her time and just back the fuck off, if it was meant to be it will be. let her come to you, do you want to be the rebound or the next relationship?
>>16809061
Next relationship obviously
just dont want to see her go and never come back because she might think i lost interest because we aren't talking
>>16809056
You have two options, and neither will give you what you want, at least in the short-term.
If you stay in her life, two things could happen; you push, and she resents you for it, or you do not push, and end up as a friend. You should do neither of these, as it will only bring pain, in the end.
If you distance yourself, and go No Contact, she is able to enjoy being single, but will constantly be thinking of you, and why you have pulled away. This is what you should do, but it is a long-term investment, if it pans out.
She needs time to process her break-up, be single for a minute, and to realize your connection. She has to do this alone, or with friends, and it cannot be rushed.
Play it cool. No Contact, in this instance, is only on you; let her initiate.
Hi /adv/,
I don't know if this is the right place to address this problem but:
I had to do a hard restart on my Lenovo laptop last December while playing Fallout 4 on Steam and once I had the computer finally reboot, all of the Windows applications would not work or slow to respond.. For example, the start menu will not work, explorer is slow to respond and occasionally crashes while opening files, and icons on the toolbar will not show up.
I have installed Windows 10 (I'm an idiot, I'm fully aware of my stupidity.) before this happened. Any ideas of problems, solutions, or any advice besides not having Windows 10? I'd like to ask before I completely fuck up my computer. Thanks.
Pic related: Shit's not working.
>>16808989
Did you tried run the windows repair program?
>>16809006
Haven't tried it yet. Looking into it right now. I should say I'm computer illiterate at the moment. I don't want to completely reset the computer and lose all of my work and collected nonsense from the internet. Thanks.
Reset your Pc to its last working restore point.

So I cd a lot, and have for a long time. I was just curious if there was any way to help develop breast without taking hrt. I'm currently eating mostly vegan stuff ( 1 cheat day), running a lot, and working out. I've been taking fenugreek an saw palmetto ( fenugreek for the estrogen and I think saw palmetto lowers t). Also lots of soy milk. Is it a genetic thing or fat distribution??? Maybe ive just gone loco n_n tips?
take prolactin or food that increase its production
p.s. Is OP a girl or a trap?
If it is any consolation, small breasts are a miracle of the universe.
>>16808997
Errr cd atm <_< debating on trying to get on hrt. Guessing the only way to get prolactin is ordering online? Any other tips n_n?
I asked this before but I fell asleep before being able to tend to the thread so it 404'd.
Can we please talk about exit bags? What do I need? Where do I buy it? Need expert help here who knows about exit bags
Please don't kill yourself. You don't need to do it. There is very real and lasting hope for recovery from depression, or whatever else you have. Unless you're terminally ill already, killing yourself isn't justifiable.
Don't give up on life, or happiness, or... you know, actual treatment. Please. Depression is an illness like any other, and it's one that can be treated -- it's the most common mental illness and has more treatment options than any other.
Giving up now would be premature. At best.

I've had severe, treatment-resistant depression for seven years. I've been on 14 medications, seen 8 therapists, and gone through dialectical and cognitive behavioral therapy. I know what it's like to feel like everything is hopeless and to want to kill yourself -- hell, I've tried to kill myself (it's a long story, but basically I lived because I'm terrible at knots.).
Stay alive, at least until you've exhausted all your treatment options. Please?
I've heard of you before. You've tried a lot of treatment. Recently I think you've had electro shock therapy. How did that go?
Back on topic, I want to die because I'm a dirty rotten cheater. Sexting counts as cheating. I'm proof that no matter how good you treat a girl, it'll never be enough and she'll always be unsatisfied. But damn I really am unhappy and unsatisfied in my relationship but I can't break up. I've tried so many times. There is no way out. Plus he doesn't have a backup plan like I do. There's literally no one attractive that lives near him or in his school area
my LDR boyfriend is sick on Vday and what do I do? Go behind his back and talk to a coworker I like because he loves me back and I craved attention and love. Since I have been deprived for the past week and a half
I am scum
I am in a lot of pain right now it's where my belly button area of my stomach. I would go to the hospital but I live in Canada and it's at least a eight hour wait. Especially this time because the hospital near me the doctors do not get in now until 9am now. My parents are away and I am home alone with my doggie. I have no one I can contact to help. What should I do? I am on the toilet and my dog fell asleep next to my legs.
>>16808776
Do you have a fever?
call an ambulance, you might have an infected or burst appendix.
> but I live in Canada and it's at least a eight hour wait
2/7, too obvious, try again.
Is she being sincere or is this a really polite deflection? The smiley is reassuring but I'm terrible at reading this sort of thing. Also, should I stop liking things she shares for a little bit as to not seem creepy?
>>16808759
There's no way to tell from this so stop thinking about it. You'll know soon when she either ignores you or gets back to you.
I mean she said she works until 5:30, not that she had something else going on afterwards
>>16808759
Polite deflection 100%, move on, mate.
Can you guys give me tinder advice? My chad friends (I've somehow tricked them into thinking I'm a chad) and I made a bet on who can bang the first slut on tinder and we're all setting it up an account at the same time next weekend. Also we've each put a $100 on the line (6 of us), and it would be really good for me if I won this money. If your wondering why I would waste a $100 well if I said no they would've called me a pussy, and I'm worried if that stigma sticks with me then they'll realize I'm not a chad too. I'm decent looking (which is part of how they think I'm a Chad), but I have shit social skills, and am kv so not much experience with how to talk to girls, so I think pic has to be good for me to have a shot at winning. I have know idea what to put for tinder pic can you guys help. Also what should I say in my bio? And can you give me advice on what to say when we start messaging each other?
>pic related is me so you know what your dealing with

Hey /adv/
>Broke up with boyfriend Friday night.
>We are supposed to see a concert this Wed for a band on its final tour.
>I paid for tickets. He's almost all the way paid up on his.
>He's a huge fan of this band and so am I. Neither of us wanted to miss out.
Wat do? He and I ended on bad terms. It would be awkward to go together. Do I return what he paid to me and either sell his ticket or offer to a friend? Or should I be nice?
>>16808584
if there is a 'be nice' option, that is almost always the right option to take.
>>16808603
It would be me sucking it up and going to the concert together, or letting him buy me out of my ticket and taking someone else. (Which would be awhile as he's kinda poor.)
I'm struggling whether to be nice to a person that doesn't deserve it or being a jerk.
How do you stop hating yourself? Like, how do you learn to genuinely love yourself?
>>16808540
Do something
Psychotherapy.
Maybe it's easier for people without weird abusive parents, though, I dunno.
>>16808545
What should I do?
>>16808547
Does psychotherapy really help? I went to 4 therapists already and it made everything just worse, I don't have any hope anymore in that stuff
Lifelong beta.
How do I go alpha?
I've been exercising, lifting, I'm 6-10. I somehow feel I need to get in a brawl or something. Always been a pussy at that.
Money is ... meh...job is ... super meh but pays the bills.
Any alphas out there care to give advice? Or better yet, those who transitioned from beta to alpha?
>>16808480
You cant
What if I told you...the real alphas dont even know what the fuck this whole made up shit is.
>>16808480
Hahahah lifting wont do shit. Go fucking fight a bear or somthing
Im on pretty garbage terms with my mother. Let me start. I was around maybe 14 when our relationship turned to shit. I blame her though. It seems everything she does...turns to shit...but she refuses to fix them..mostly when I was a kid. Recently my grandmother had called me to tell us that my gpa had been admitted into the hospital. The one time I had my phone on silent .. I get this important call. I figured it all out promptly..luckily the time frame wasnt long. So my mother comes home and I make mistake number 1 and thats asking her to console me about missing the call..I felt like real shit...she starts on about on how is shes in trouble ..would I pick up then? Like i purposely missed the call or something..and further more making it about her. So check this out.,..my moms job is blocks away from where she works..and actually on the fucking way hhome..but what does she doo...skips her own mothers house and comes straight home...but makes me feel like shit about it?
this basically was the last straw for me..im sick of her dirty schemes.
Anyways..she acts like Im some sort of demon child because I lash out at them and say the worst things to them..but truth is she has been treating me like dirt...I don't respect her, I don't love her...I cant fix this can i?
>>16808445
Ah, poor put-upon teenager.
>>16808445
It's simple. Move out and you don't have to deal with your mom anymore.
>>16808445
I hate my entire family pretty much. They were abusive as well and never gave much of a shit about me. I'm actually jealous of orphans with no family.
What's the best stereotypical advice for someone who just doesn't see the point in living?
Tell us your troubles before you blow your brains out.
See a damned psychiatrist. And a therapist.
