You have some explaining to do. What American high school does this?
Hi /adv/,
I'll start by making a short intro. Skip the first paragraph if you don't care about the personal stuff:
I am male. I was born in Brazil though I don't speak a word of Portuguese. Mom is a diplomat so I lived mostly in Europe (Poland/France) and Canada. The few years I lived in Brazil were hell. Rape, torture, religious abuse, sexuality prejudice etc. Depression was strong and kept me from doing many things in life. Things changed in Canada but the process of healing the damage that was done took too long therefore immigration didn't...

Update: I have found the wonders of crash course on youtube hopefully the US history series will help. Would still appreciate some more insight from a previous or future test taker, and an opinion on my other long term predicament if possible
Sad to hear about your predicament. I feel your mother has let you down, leaving you without a place where you're at home.
Moving to the US is certainly doable, but maybe college is not the right way. You normally can't work on a student visa and employers will be unlikely to hire you, with the additional rigmarole of employing a foreigner when you have no unique skills to contribute.
Think about staying in Brazil for a year to bolster your Portuguese and pick up a useful skill that enhances your employability worldwide. Right now there's a huge...

Are that carpenter troll I been seeing around or is this legit advice? I didn't mention everything because i thought the post was lengthy enough. I am actually a very skilled cook/baker and plan on taking a college course on that area. I heard that people in that field can manage to get a contract with an employer before their school term is over and immediately switch their visas once the student one expires. I don't know the details, but I am ready to sell my soul if I have to in order to leave this damned...

I'm 5'4" (164cm) and there's a 5'7" (174cm) girl into me.
She's gorgeous, voluptuous blonde hair, round tight butt, perky tits, AMAZING legs (probably because of her size) and to top it all she has a great sense of humour, i can hardly believe i found a girl lik her but i'm so self-conscious about my height i'm not sure if i can go on with this.
If the difference was like 1 inch i think i'd not mind but she's 3 fucking inches taller than me, she'd have to bend over a little just to kiss me, that would make...

I want a child but I am unable to have a kid myself for medical reasons which I will not elaborate here. Should I consider child adoption? Is this a good idea?
>>16794933
This is the single stupidest question I've ever seen asked on /adv/.
>>16794980
I once saw someone ask in the"ask someone of the opposite sex"that if anyone knew where he left his keys
>>16794933
No, go steal a kid, adoption is too expensive.
I'm 22. What's being ~30 like?
>>16794929
I'm 25 and I already feel like my life is over. Enjoy being 22 is all the advice I have.

W-well, it's currently pilot season. It's so busy that they probably can't afford to fire me right now; it may have to wait until March or April. Is my fate sealed?
>>16794999
It is, but it's overwhelming. I get about 20 emails an hour. Things fall through the crack that way.
I put all the effort into my relationship and my gf doesn't. I'm always doing all the cute stuff and saying cute things and being romantic and she just goes along or mimics it when I do it.
She's like my only source of happiness when I'm dealing with my shit life and I feel like I'm just a meh to her. Like she would talk to other guys and shit kind of unimportant it's fucking with me so much. What do i do
>>16794904
Ignore her or you will lose her. Give her space and let her come to you. If it all falls apart it was probably inevitable anyways.
Women generally don't like it when they are "you're only source of happiness". They are heartless monsters like this because they only seek confident men who will make them feel socially superior to other women.
>>16794928
Ok bro that's what I was thinking should I legitamately ignore her or just send back one word texts like "ok, mhm, yea"
It's so hard for me to ignore her though
>>16794930
Don't be cold, just let her put the effort in the relationship. Just do your thing and be busy, be someone who has a plan and has fun. As much as you can anyways.
Hey, I am writing a paper and I came across this term here http://dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/english/mouse-over-sth
I wanna use it in a sentence. I am just a bit puzzled as to how to form progressive or past tense of this phrasal verb:
1. Mouse overing & moused overed (e.g. "The item doesn't react to mouse overing. / There is no reaction when mouse overed.")
OR
2. Mousing over & moused over (e.g. "The item doesn't react to mousing over. / There is no reaction when moused over.")
(I THINK the...

Since this is probably the only kind of advice I can help with around here, I can tell you that #2 is the correct form.
>>16794888
2 is better, but since 'mouse over' is not a common phrase, it might be better to translate it into something like "when a mouse is passed or hovered over it"
I want to try to have sexy time with a random girl on omegle but so far i had no luck. Some say that if you use certain topics to match that you will find some girls but till now i had no such luck :(
Any omegles pros out there?! I really need some advice :P
>omegle
>2016
seriously?
you just go on the unmoderated section, and keep skipping the barage of dicks until you find a girl
but you have to have your face and dick showing to stand out from the thousands of other wanking dicks and stand the best chance of them not skipping you
this worked for me anyway
>>16794897
You might be gay
What does it mean when a girls calls you "an antisocial emotionless sexist" ?

Do girls look different after doing nasty slutty shit? I knew this one slut and she kinda had a funny looking face but I shit you not when she got in a serious relationship there was a brief point where she didn't fuck a bunch of people behind his back she actually looked cuter like her face looked more attractive.
There was another girl I knew and she was cute as hell like she had a really attractive face and beautiful eyes and she started dating more and doing all kinds of slutty shit with the guys and she ended up looking different after like her eyes are kinda...

I've been with my girlfriend for 2 years now. She's my only relationship I've ever been with and also my only sexual partner I've ever had.
We love each other a lot and I can see us being together for a very long time, but it's always at the back of my mind that I'm missing out on my young years where I should have more sexual partners. She's had several previous relationships and casual sex before me so obviously she's happy with "settling" now, and so would I be if I could get these thoughts out of my head.

Damn dude in a similar boat
If you love her get over it if it bothers you you need to see other people
Doesn't the grass look green. Wouldn't it be great if your woman just left your sorry ass and then all your wishes could come true.
There is great reward in being true to someone, you will understand this when you are a bit older.
Hey /adv/,
Why does my shit not smell? (Except after drinking alcohol).
I only eat once at night, ramen with fried egg and fried potatoes or chicken. Just cigarettes and Diet Coke throughout the day.
Do I have cancer or something? I mean, everyone I know has stinky shit.
Pic unrelated.
>>16794816
>I only eat once at night
That's not exactly healthy.
How much do you move during the day?
What is your weight?
>>16794821
I walk quite a bit if I have class that day, because I don't have a car. If I don't, then I just sit and play vidya gaems.
155 lbs. 5"7. On a diet.
I don't anticipate having a great time when the election rolls around this year. I'm a Bernie Sanders supporter, but it's looking like he's going to get fucked out of a nomination one way or another. I don't support Hillary Clinton, and in fact I feel just as strongly about not wanting her to be president as I do about all the Republican candidates. If/when she gets the nomination, I would not feel comfortable giving her my vote, but I feel like there is going to be immense pressure to do so. The prevailing attitude is "if you don't vote, you just give your vote to the other side", but I think we've all seen that it doesn't always work that way. I think she's going to win the nomination primarily because of the system of delegates, not the popular vote, and she's probably going to win the presidency the same way. It doesn't matter if I don't vote for her. I'm just not looking forward to the inevitable arguments with friends and family about how I should vote for someone I don't want to vote for. Anyone else between a similar rock and hard place?
>>16794802
Take some comfort from the fact that it doesn't matter all that much. While a President can set a tone for a period of time that can influence the society, he/she can't really do much without Congress, and Congress is institutionally prejudiced in favor of doing nothing.

Vote trump. At least he will avoid war, try to diminish the influence of lobbying, and nit flood tge country with illegals.
