I'm interested in EE, but I'm stuck between ME and EE. I hear that you can't go wrong with either one, but I've only seen what it's like to be a MechE so far. What do EE's do once they graduate? What EE industries are there? I definitely have an interest in electronics. But, I also think working in the aerospace industry would be cool as hell as well. Anyone here a professional that can help me out?

There are plenty of opportunities in the aerospace industry for EE's. I don't know any personally, but I think you'll be fine with either. If you like EE better though, I'd go that route. I'm a ME and am very impressed with EE's can do. One electrics course was enough for me.
Currently a CE major. Honestly, you can do whatever, these fucking major's are so broad.
I'm like you, OP.
Started in EE, then switched to Mechatronics.
Am taking a bunch of mechanical shit now. Honestly, all I'm really learning so far are basic manufacturing shit.
It's not bad, I guess, but I miss the EE side. Then again, EE is fucking hard.
Am thinking about just doubling in EE and ME.
I've heard automation is the new big thing now...
Maybe I should have just majored in that and EE.
I don't know.
Its hard to find a job in this field without needed exp
Met a Japanese guy, who is married to a Dutch woman. In a smalltalk he said that he has left Japan because he is afraid that his children would be victims of discrimination.
Is Japan really so racist?
/int/ user here. Yes, they are.

Wherever you go, you're bound to be shit upon. That's how the social world works. What matters is how you react to it; you can avoid the shit, you can agree with the shit, or you can embrace the shit and turn it from a weakness into a strength. People probably have a harder time with the latter, considering people don't like their arms covered in doodoo.
>>16792886
Oh they are SUPER fucking racist. They've lived on an island for thousands of years before really interacting with the outside world, and that isolationist/xenophobic attitude is still there and thriving.

I usually lurk on this board but today I need genuine, legitimate advice.
My father has been a drug addict (opiates) for many years. Recently, over the last couple of years it has become progressively worse.
In the last couple of months it has become unbearable for the family and it continues to destroy his health (hes 65).
Anyways, hes a respected professional so Im afraid to do anything that would effect him professionally (especially considering how fucked up things are for my family at the moment). Hes middle eastern so he would not be open to the idea of rehab or an intervention or anything.
He used to do it in the house, but he has recently moved all the "hard" drug out (though my family believes that he contiues to use them).
Any suggestions? anyone been through something similar?
>mfw I saw my dad's death coming and did nothing but stand idle
>>16792879
bump
also I should state that he can be a HUGE liar about these things and is difficult to talk to in general (because of how moody he is)
ALSO
I should say that he is BIPOLAR though he is taking his medication to the best of my knowledge (wellbuitrin??)
If I would ask him about it he would say that this is all a symptom of his depression and it is long in his past
any advice??

Is he Afghan by any chance?
Early in life I fucked up. I dropped out of college for three years to persue a career in pro-gaming. Realizing at the age of 20 that it wasn't going to happen I went back to school again.
Being the competative person, with high ambitions I started working my ass off in university. Not only getting good grades but also working on extracurricular stuff which take up all my time. It takes all my time because I do try to make up for my lost early years. Though as a consequence I have barely had any vacation in the last few years but also never really had the time to socialize and do fun stuff, meet people, be with my family or get a girlfriend.
I have now been doing this for 5 years and the fruits of my all hard work are beginning to payoff, I have been given the oppertunity to do an internship at one of my dream companies.
Eventhough I just do not feel happy! I work I sleep I work I sleep. But I really have the feeling I cant slack off because I already slacked off for 3 years when I was a kid. I can take this job which I have been working so hard for but it is even more work sleep work sleep, and will be even further away from the people I know.
TLDR: Not taking the dreamjob will kill me, as I want to do meaningful stuff in life. I am not sure if I will get this oppertunity again when I slack off because of 3 wasted years. Though not having a social life also kills me.
Help! Before I just kill myself and get over with it. What do I do.
If you even consider a job your dreamjob you should hang in there until you get it since it wont be long until you do, right? Then you could do the social part when you get it! I think i am complete opposite of you at the moment, and as a result i'll be fucked in a couple of years. If i had my dreamjob before my eyes like that, i'd hang in there! You could also be a litte social and still work hard. Worked 8-5 + band practice (serious) everyday last fall and i still had a little time and weekends for social things.
How do the rest of you ADHD fags sleep on your meds?
>inb4 bud
Only thing that works and I'm out -.-
Calming tea and a hot bath in the dark. No music or extra stimulation. Put your phone away for a while before you sleep
>>16792858
I sleep just fine, but then I don't take medication for my ADHD.
I'm dying currently. Anyone else get really bad restless legs from it too?

Hey /adv/ how are you, I hope you're having a nice day.
So i'll cut straight to the chase
>Dump my ex of 2 years for cheating on me
>few months later after no contact
>we're talking again
>find out shes dating the guy she cheated on me with
>says hes terrible in bed/spends too much time with his friends blah blah blah
>tell her I'm not some cuck that is going to listen to her problems with her bf
>we hang out more then once a week and start having sex (she initiated it)
>all while she goes home to her bf after
>she starts canceling plans with him having sex with me more
>everything's great, the sex is 11/10 and we have good convos
>this continues for 3 months
>one day she says she loves me and wish she never cheated
>regrets everything crys in public saying shes horrible
>tell her ill be there for her as a friend and I'm over the cheating
>later that night she calls me from her house
>hear the bf in the background slam the door open and yell at her
>"who are you talking to" she goes quiet and starts having an argument
>tell her ill meet her soon and we can talk then
>the next day we meet and we have a great day then at the end of the day
>she tells me "I wanted to have a really nice day with you for the last time"
>ask her what the fucks going on then ask what her bf said that night
>"he told me I cant hang out with you anymore he doesn't like it, and while I'm with you I feel like I cant love him"
>(keep in mind she admits hes a rebound and was a shoulder to cry on during our breakup)
>"I dont think I will ever love him, but I will always love you"
>she then blocked me on everything
So I'm wondering what shes thinking?
she gave up a great friend for someone she admits she will never love, cheats on and hates
Am I being played here why would this happen?
I love this girl as a friend as shes the only person Ive really gotten along with and
shes the same way, what should I do to get the friendship back.
Or should I just forget it.
Thank you.
Do nothing
You're a stupid cuck. She says all that same shit to him.
>>16792822
Yeah, do nothing. She'll be back soon and she may want out of the other relationship. She was hoping you'd ask her back before.

Even though I'm in a relationship how do I make it appear to other girls that I'm still looking
I treat my gf amazing and I'm always being cute and romantic and she never really does anything back to me and I feel like she doesn't care a lot and if I bring it up she acts like she cares just long enough for me to stop talking about it
>>16792807
By ending a relationship you're unhappy in and actually being someone looking for a girlfriend, so things come naturally.
>>16792852
I go years on end without a girl even talking to me so no
>>16792954
Those can be good years
TL;DR
I'm a mess both physically and mentally. How do i start all over, where do i even begin?
So here's what we're working with : I'm a 18 year old male, needless to say still a virgin, not a kissless one though. I was slightly overweight a couple years ago and even though i lost a lot of weight i didnt lose that "I'm- a- disgusting- worthless-shit" mindset. My selfesteem is pretty much nonexistent even though I'm not all that bad looking 6.3~7.0 on a good day.
My parents are overly protective and strict and that is smothering me ..i can't even go out without them knowing about it. I don't drink or smoke and i don't associate with people who do, but that's mostly to make my parents happy. I give up a lot of shit just to make them happy.
I live in a really really really small village some 20 miles away from the city where i go to school so after classes end i get back home and literally spend the day studying. Not because i enjoy doing so but that's the only thing that gets me distracted from reality. And that made me the outcast I'm now.
I live in my own small world that has nothing to do with reality..
Fat me was embarrassed to wear only a t-shirt cuz manboobs..so i unintentionally created a habit of wearing literally the same clothes that fit well everyday.. That has stuck with me.
I don't do the social mediaz because of all this, plus i only know about 30 people at school.. tops .
I've never had a girlfriend even though we were messing with a girl a while back but my paranoia kicked in and i thought that she was just mocking me, that she was giving me attention out of boredom, just for fun. So i blew her off..
And I'm tired of all this.. I wanna change my life.. Start over.
But i have no clue how to go about it.
Do i start by getting fit and then address my social "disability" or ..?
Any advice, thoughts, books..
..I gotta do this no matter what

Try somehow getting a gf/aunt threesome. Who don't want to at least try the indirect milf?

Should i get a tattoo like pic related?
>>16792773
I'm black, and I'd get it. That's actually kinda cool. But why, OP?
>>16792773
why its a bunch of lines?
>>16792792
That's the thing that makes me doubt. Why? Does it represent anything at all? will i regret it after some years?
It would definitely look good since i'm pale af, and it would make a great contrast. but i'm still thinking about that, lad

Just ignore them. Responding to negativity justifies it.
I have been struggling with depression for the past few months. My gf broke up with me, Im flunking out of college, I have no passion or motivation for anything. What should I do?
>>16792754
>What should I do?
stop indulging in this meme illness
>>16792757
Yeah, that surely will do the trick.
Hey, I got a great idea - why don't you tell that all those people who kill themselves in Japan - that their depression is just a meme illness? They will all feel better then ...
>>16792765
Cry harder you lil bitch
Truth is we all are more or less depressed, I don't have a single friend who didn't think about commiting a suicide at some point. But also many people just get a stiff upper lip and go through life without wallowing in self pity and indulging in 'depression or social anxiety or whatever. Then there are special snowflakes like yourself, too lazy to fight with apathy and sadness and so these fags choose posting about their muh depresion on a romanian knitting forum instead of going to doc, getting some happy pills and moving on with their lives.
