what should i do when people are using a cell jammer in my vicinity ?
Call the cops.
Most signal jammers are illegal, and they have equipment to find them.
>>16783544
im aware they are illegal but i don't think my cuntry has a recorded conviction of it, visa vi the fuzz are inept or does not give the fucks.
bampu for a solution in a grey area
I used to have pretty bad oneitis for this girl back in high school but we went our separate ways after college. As gay as it sounds, we used to be "best friends" and she was the only girl who told me that she loves me.
Anyway, I recently found out through a family member that she works in town and now I can't stop thinking about her, even though we haven't spoken in probably 5 years.
Will it be a bad idea to try and reconnect with her?
>>16783498
>Will it be a bad idea to try and reconnect with her?
Of course not. If you two didn't separate on bad terms, what harm could come?
Just do it

I'm now a loser with depression and don't have any real friends, which I don't want her to know.
This might sound stupid, but I'd rather her memory of me is a good one.
>>16783585
>I'm now a loser with depression and don't have any real friends,
seems to me the only thing you lost is your sense of self.
How can I break up with my gf?
Everything seems perfectly normal to her, so how do I prepare her for the news? Should I talk to her personally? Should I cut all contact after I tell her I don't want to be in this relationship anymore?
Why do you want to break up?
>>16783580
I just don't love this girl anymore. To continue it won't me fair for anyone. I want more time alone, and I want to meet other people.
>>16783496
operating under the assumption that you DONT live together, i find this is the healthiest way to do it
>have a friend drive you to your gfs place. he will sit and wait in the car for 15 to 20 minutes
>enter your gfs house and tell her you need to talk
>recite to her a very rehearsed and concise break up speech
>I'm sorry anonnette, but i dont feel for you the way I used to. I have tried for some time to regain that spark, but i fear its lost, and i dont want either of us to miss our chance at finding it with someone else. I'm sorry but we can't see each other anymore.
>she will have her reaction. which will likely include further questions.
>DONT actually answer the questions. simply state that you are sorry and reiterate that the feelings just aren't there and you aren't willing to keep having at them
>exactly 15 or 20 minutes into this, your friend will knock on the door and say you HAVE to leave, he may cite something important if need be, such as you two going on a trip or to a movie or something time binding.
>you apologize again, perhaps leave a parting gift, something to remember you by, or even just a little ice cream to comfort her
>then you leave
extraction friend saves the day. without him you're stuck dealing with her for as long as she wants. i cant stress enough that you are not to engage her questions. she will try to 'logic' you out of a break up by claiming you are wrong about things, as if this will change feelings.
when you leave you block on facebook and on text and any other stupid social media networks you might have. you do not make any contact with her for at least three months. by then you will be level headed enough to explore the possibility of friendship IF YOU WANT but i dont recommend it.
Is it worth going to university if you're autistic? I'm not exactly mildly autistic - I have a diagnosis of atypical autism and I go to special centers and all that shit - it isn't just Asperger's.
I think I will most likely do well at uni, since some fields over there are my special interests which I always did relatively well at, and studied on my own for long years, to the point of being able to easily follow and understand the present state of research in those fields.
However, I think I will either be made fun of because of my behavior and social skills (if I don't tell others about my autism, this tends to happen), or, if I do tell them, I will be treated like an alien (already happened). And in any case, I would feel rather anxious at uni, since I realize what huge of a difference there is between my and other people's social abilities.
Should I just never go to class, and just study at home and come over only for tests?
Instead of university, which is expensive and leaves you poorly equipped for the real world, have you considered trade education? Nobody will judge you for your social skills learning carpentry, and you're left well prepared for a great career.
It's pretty small but it bugs the shit outta me
Options
1. Lazer treatment
2. Tatoo over it
3. Skin bleach? (idk)
>>16783477
Its not even baaad looking, its not like a scar._.
Ok so Ive been a lurker for most of my life on /adv/ because I tend to not have many problems however I have began to notice a sort of "propaganda" on the board lately FUCKING CARPENTRY so in light of this as a board we should discuss how to get rid of the fucker who keeps posting carpentry advice that has nothing to do with the situation
>inb4 OP is sperging the fuckout
>yes, yes i am
>>16783476
Haha, it's actually funny, he's telling people to get a real job and stop worrying
Sorry guys I'll leave
This is off topic, if you want carpentry advice you should be posting on:
>>>/diy/
/adv/ is a non-judgmental board where people can post questions from their romantic, work, and personal lives, and receive advice to start a career in the dynamic, wholesome, and lucrative world of carpentry or woodwork.
How to approach girls?
I have a bit of dilemma. I only date virgins, and I only date girls I find really pretty. (no I'm not changing either of those, that's not what I'm here for).
Generally I've done pretty well in this regard (pic related). But now I'm 28. And pretty virgins in my age bracket are pretty hard to find.
But these days, tinder/online dating/social circles aren't cutting it out for me anymore.
Thankfully I work at a university, so I have the opportunity to approach younger girls who would fit the criteria.
Problem is... I can't. I can't seem to overcome approach anxiety. I've managed to muster up the courage to do it 3 times, and only once has it gone OK. The other 2 times it was awkward as shit.
Does anyone here have experience with this? How the fuck do I learn not to give a fuck?
Gr8 b8 m8, I r8 8/8
>>16783446
Hahaha just tell us you're a virgin man it's fine you're anonymous.
>>16783509
Huh. I guess this board has a different culture than others, but I thought wanting a virgin was pretty normal around here.
Well anyways no I'm not. Not that it matters.
Hey guys I found a phone its a one touch alcatel ce1588 . Its new and I want to sell it what is a good price for it ?
That phone belongs to someone - you should find them and give it back.
If you want to make money, learn an honest trade such as carpentry and earn good pay for your high quality work.
I found it in the park while jogging
>>16783442
uh huh, and you can't access it right
I've been plagued by these strange visual disturbances. It's difficult to explain, I just feel like my vision is "off". I think it has to do that I see a bunch of floaties (they aren't large or defined at all though) creating some sort of strange tunnel vision effect, but not in the traditional sense (the outskirts of my eyes being blocked, it just feels wavy and unfocused or something). Focusing on something, especially texts, feels strange.
Anyway, I've been wondering whether my tense shoulders and neck has something to do with it or perhaps it's something different. Has anyone else felt "off" vision-wise? Have you solved it? What was the problem? This is not something that is easy to discuss with a doctor, so some hypothesis would be appreciated.
>>16783426
I think you might have vitamin B deficency
>>16783427
This. Eat some fruits.
>>16783427
I doubt it. I eat plenty of meat, eggs and fruits (especially apples and bananas) and I drink plenty of milk and yoghurt.
I haven't smoked in a little over a month, can't even remember what the exact date was, but it was certainly before 1/11 and after 12/26. Before then I was a heavy user of potent weed, and tried to detox intentionally by fasting for 4 days, only liquids no food. Got a job decided to smoke a little in celebration once or twice (the in between 12/26 - 1/11) and got VERY high, affirming that the detox probably did work, for my tolerance was nothing.
Tomorrow, I have a drug test, and just want to absolutely make sure I'm in the clear. I've read and heard various tips to increase the chances you pass like drinking tons of water, b12 to make urine yellow due to it being clear from tons of water, eating fatty foods a few hours before the test, using the "midstream" etc
Anything else I can do to increase my odds?
Also note I have an incredibly fast metabolism.
tl;dr: Drug test tomorrow, haven't smoked in about a month, what other things can I do to increase my chances of passing
(not native English speaking)
Don't move, so you don't sweat the substance out of your fat which marks on the test
You know you can just go to a Walgreens and get a drug test kit, right? Find out if you're going to piss dirty, THEN do something about it.

Phil?
Do adopted children forgive their parents as easy as biological kids do?
I understand my parents, accidentally creating human beings you are now responsible of is just a natural part of life. But I do want kids, and the only way I'll have any is by adoption, and I don't know how much more they'll resent me, knowing I went out of my way to actually get them on purpose in the first place.
>>16783408
I'd say they'd be more forgiving as long as you show them that you're always trying and don't treat them like little idiots.
>>16783419
I'll probably get a chinese girl, odds are she's gonna be smarter than me.
idk I thought I had the hang of it - you just gotta keep them clean and fed and not getting themselves killed - but then I bumped into some woman who's got her 9 year old kid doing his own laundry twice per week as a normal thing.
I mean, I can't even get myself do my own laundry as a normal thing.
>>16783453
But how happy is the kid?
I knew someone in school whose scedule was full of extra curricular activities from elementary school to graduation and she was incredibly unhappy.
Pic is my forehead. It looks much worse in reality. Squeezed some zits which came open, have now healed, but have reformed as pink looking skin which looks really ugly. I'd like this to look as good as I can within a week or so. What do? Pls halp
>>16783402
I read forehead as foreskin lol
try cortizone
Looks like PIH (postinflammatory hyperpigmentation). It will heal over time. Use a BHA and a moisturizer to accelerate the process. Also looks relatively minor, might go away on its own within a few days to a week. I don't know, I don't have ESP. Avoid the sun, wear sunscreen, etc.

Hello, I'm coming here looking for some help. I actually need advice from vapefags. In the past years since I've gone to university, I've noticed that my mom is significantly stressed out due to being a business owner, family hardships, and various other shit that happens to come up. Due to this, she has taken smoking back up and she smokes whenever she is in the car by herself (which is pretty frequent.)
Here is where I need the advice. What is a good starter setup/what is a good e-cigarette that I could buy that my mother could use instead of smoking cigarettes. I know absolutely nothing about it and neither does my mother. But I thought that this way is a little less unhealthy and she doesn't smell like smoke all the time.
tl;dr - Anon needs advice on e-cigs.
See >>16782839
>>16783406
Thanks.
You'll look like a faggot just quit for good you attention seeking special snowflake and your "e-cigs"
how do I fix my forehead? I wash it twice daily and I don't touch it with my fingers. but unavoidably I'll wake up with one or two new pimples
What do you eat and drink?
>>16783368
Get acne repellent.
>>16783371
currently on a low carb diet, so lots of eggs, meat, fish, cheese, vegetables.
>>16783374
more specifically?
Hey /adv/ I know there's some functioning adult floating around.
I'll keep it short. I am a perfectionist which has led me to be incredibly self-critical, nothing I do is quiet good enough. It really fucks with my confidence.
So, yeah, I want stop being so hard on myself and be happy with what I'm doing; Because, I know I'm fucking terrific at it.
Pic semi-related, it's what I do.
>>16783358
> perfectionist
> nothing I do is quiet good enough
> quiet
Nice spelling error, fucktwat.
