How do I get better at TF2? More specifically with Soldier and Heavy?
I love the others (except Spy, because he's tough to use), but I just want to focus on these classes.
I suck at rocket jumping and I just charge into the battle as a Heavy. Without Heavy, my aim is subpar.
skip school and studying, set a schedule for practicing each class
there are some good maps that let you 1v1 as soldier; a good way to predict rocket speed and enemy movement is just to play a lot and understand it, also you need a really good computer
>soldier
Be like all the plebs and use the black box. Just shoot where your opponent is or where they will be if they're moving.
>heavy
Try to always have a medic on you and just shoot whatever comes your way. Focus on high priority targets. Kill the medic over the scout, engine over the pyro, etc.

>skip school and studying
In this season? Heh.
But anyway, thanks. Problem is that I never find 1v1s at all. Just Skial servers, some idle servers and only a few times official Valve.
Either I'm a tryhard or an f2p gibus noob fgt to these people.

The Black Box? I always heard it was an awful, awful, awful rocket launcher to use. It looks fun nd I love its looks, but I seriously heard as much flack...

I think I want to adopt a little girl.
Or perhaps a brother and sister?
I have no clue how adoption works and I honestly don't see myself spending the rest of my life with a woman.
However, I feel like it's unusual for a guy to adopt kids, that I will be viewed as a pedophile or something because no one seems to know single guys that adopt. But I want a family, and I think adoption is a wonderful way to give a child or two an opportunity to BE a child.
I make good a decent income as a web developer, stable job, pets, but I feel like I should do more with my life than just satisfy my needs. If I can make one or two other people happy by giving them a home and loving them unconditionally, I should and I want to.
Is it hard to adopt for a single male? Would /adv/ think me as a creep or something?
>Would /adv/ think me as a creep or something?
admitedly, that's what come to mind first thing. i think it's especially because you want to adopt a little girl.
however, i would just go to an agency and see how they handle it. i'd say it won't be easy, since even with couples, they rely on the relationship being stable and so on very much. they want the best environement for a kid, and being in a complete family IS the best environement. sure, that's just the norm. there are "complete" famliies that are utter shit and vice versa. but you would rely on an acency judging that from case to case. just give it a try. you'l lnever know unless you talked to them. then you could atleast say you tried.
have you thought about finding a girl willing to be a "baby donnor"?
>>17329417
Okay, so try to downplay the girl preference? I just would like to mix things up because I'm a guy so having a girl would put me into different situations i would otherwise not be involved in. But honestly, I'd love any gendered kid, just when I imagine having a child it is usually a girl.
I have thought about a girl willing to be a baby donor, but honestly I think I'd like to adopt a child because there are probably plenty of kids hoping for a home. I don't feel the need to have them...

>no one seems to know single guys that adopt
That's because it's very difficult unless they're adopting or fostering a family member's child. Stable couples have trouble as it is, it's next to impossible for a single male.
And I promise you that you haven't thought the idea of adopting a child through properly
I need to get a solid understanding of algebra within two months. Is there a way?
What the fuck do I do? I can vaguely remember it from high school but I failed it before dropping out and getting my G.E.D.
It's for a potential job.
get a tutor
if you don't like that one get another one
i needed something similar except more geometry and physics and she helped me immensely, i got the job
>>17329397
anything online?
>>17329397
Shit, are they expensive where you live? I have never had a tutor.
i wanted to ask if there were any ways to commit suicide that are relatively painless and easily accessible. i can't really hang myself, nor do we have a gun. i hear that pills can be painful and slow, and i don't have the courage to slit my wrists. i want to die, though. i have vertigo, so i dont really want to jump off of something. i dont know. thanks.
You could try jumping in front of a train, but you'd piss off a lot of people. I suggest you go to /pol/, swallow the red-pill and find a reason to live there.
The only way to do it without it being horrifying, painful, permanently scarring for bystanders, or some combination of the 3 is if you buy a gun and do it way out in the woods. Trust me, I've been suicidal for a long time.
>>17329462
thanks, anon. might consider this since we have a lot of woods around here. i hope you're doing okay, though.
I want to start working my brain/memory more as I am letting it waste away, I also want a hobby of sorts to keep me busy as video games aren't too interesting anymore and lifting only takes up so much time.
I don't really need to know a second language but I think it would be cool to know one anyway. Does anyone think this is a good idea?
Sure. If you want a hobby, what matters is YOU think it's good. Not whether /adv/ agrees on it or not.
>>17329376
Try math.
>>17329382
Yeah I am downloading some resource textbooks right now should be something to keep my mind happy on my boring days
>>17329396
I hate numbers I only like didgits
Give me pros and cons. I want to start smoking to relieve stress. Try to give pros and cons without bullshit bias. Really appreciated anons.
>go do yoga
Thanks but asking specifically for the pros and cons
>pros
feels good
>cons
cancer
i vape at home and smoke when i'm with other smokers, keeps the wheeze and horrible smell away while still playing it cool
>>17329351
Con: expensive as fuck
Con: Once classy now viewed as scummy
Con: rip health and insurance rates
Pros: your stress gone for another hour
Suggestion: buy a vaporizer. Its now the social norm
>>17329357
>>17329362
I know how vape culture is shat on nowadays and stuff but I've never heard about how effective they are. How's the cost/maintenance and is it worth? Like are they effective as cigs?
In a few weeks I'm gonna go on a trip with some friends,
and I just realized we'll be probably bathing and hang around the beach.
Problem is I fucking hate my body and I don't wanna be shirtless, I'm an unshapen blob.
I don't wanna call off the trip tough.
What do?
Post pics
>>17329277
Would rather not
>>17329274
In the water nobody will care. On the beach, wear a loose shirt as sunburn protection (a good idea anyway).
I'm 70/30 sure my emails are being monitored, and that my google results are being watched as well. Is there an easy way to monitor information being sent from my computer to someone else? Like i said im almost positive; The (person) flooding my email knows when i come online. ill be fine with no messages coming in for about 5 minutes and then bam error 19 your mail limit has been reached. every time. Its becoming an issue for work and i need a way to get around this.
>>17329263
Ask yourself this question: Given the the totally unimportant and irrelevant nonentity that you are, who would bother hacking your e-mails and googling?
I guess I can probably help if you are still around OP, i work in the IT industry as a security analyst.
You say that you start having emails flooding your inbox when you start your computer right, or just a few mins after?
What is the content of the emails? do they say non delivery report or something similar by chance?
Are you running Anti-Virus? Which one?
What makes you think you are being monitored other than the email floods? anything else that makes you think this?
>>17329263
Reinstall windows and all your shit desu. You can monitor what's being sent over your internet connection with wireshark, but it takes some effort to make sense of what you see.
I have for my entire life felt like I have been drawn the short stick. Women are taken from me by dad-bod looking fucks who smoke pot all day and contribute to the drug war. All I can think about lately is grabbing this little snotty nosed shit that has a girlfriend way to hot for her and smashing his face in. It would feel so good just for one day to let loose and let him know just how weak and powerless he really is in the face of death. And it would humiliate him that a semi-skinny 180lbs nerd did it. I have about 5 years of amateur boxing under my belt so it wouldn't...

You won't do shit you beta faggot
>>17329235
i'd box the shit out of you if i saw you do this to a random couple.
Those guys have gfs because they offer something to women, whatever it may be, that you do not. So if what a gf is what you really want, work on that.
If you want to fight someone, do it in a safe and controlled way by learning a martial art and sparring with safety gear.
Attacking somebody unprovoked will make you look like a fucking savage pleb and get you a criminal record and probably jail time.

My best friend is a guy. Few weeks back he introduced me to his best friend and we hit on instantly. And my friend got jealous, so jealous that he got enraged and almost got violent towards us.
It continued and we ended up having major arguments over the situation. Then my friend decided to fuck things up between me and my crush, so basically he did everything in his power to ruin everything I had with him. Now they are sided against me, and only God knows what my friend did to make the situation get this bad.
I am so angry, that he didn't let me be happy....

This guy is your best friend? Did you make a mistake when you wrote that or...?
>>17329199
No, he really is if not best, one of my closest friends. Or well, was.
I'm kinda shocked when I saw that kind of a side of him. He has generally always been good to me, but suddenly I saw a very ugly and nasty side of him. I never thought that he'd be the one saying that kind of things to me (and I sure as hell haven't insulted him in a similar way.)
I know he is selfish, but this time it's bit over the top level of selfishness going on here. He somehow sees nothing wrong with...

lisa.
Do you guys use amazon prime and is it worth it?
Depends on how much stuff you buy online but yea, for me it pays for itself with the 2 day free shipping for moat things
>>17329192
It is if you use Amazon a lot.
>>17329192
Amazon Prime is 99$ a year or 10.99$ a month.
If you order over 11$ of shit a month then yeah, it's probably worth it.
What are the best programming languages to learn? Which one should I learn first?
I would like to learn to code to see if I'd enjoy a career in software development.
What do you wanna do ? You wanna be a web designer? A web analyst? An all around programmer? A mobile oriented programmer? Database oriented?
Start with Visual Basic. Afterwards C ideally and C++ but not entirely neccesary. You may give up here.
Depending on what you wanna do from there you got too many to remember.
Start with Perl
>>17329221
Thank you for your response. I'm not sure what I would like to do in the future, at this point I want to get my feet wet and see if programming is something I can enjoy. People say it's like creating and solving puzzles, which sounds appealing.
If you're still there: is Visual Basic something I could create a working piece of software with or is it mainly a learning tool?
How to get girl to not think I'm weird... People that hate me have been telling her I'm creepy and basically saying the worst possible stuff they can think of about me. Of course I don't care but how do I get her to put other peoples judgements aside?
you don't. people talk. people gossip.
the only way you can assure people don't do this so negatively is if you become introvert and more serious with your shit. otherwise become extrovert and talkative with everyone.
>>17329130
How old is she? If she does believe what people say about other people (especially negative things) then you can't change it. If she let her behavior be compromised by what she only heard from others, then you can't do much.
Just act the way you are and if you see her, show that you aren't the guy she heard about.
Everybody is weird. EVERYONE.
You just have to find someone with compatible weirdness.
I need help dudes this girl likes me and tweets sweet stuff about me (assuming) but I've been pestering her and I feel like I'm annoying her so I wanna not annoy her, what should I do to quit pestering her but keep her interested (tips and tricks plz)
>>17329111
Give us a detailed scenario about what your interactions together are like.
>>17329120
Like whenever we are around each other she wants to be all over me and cuddle usually, I always tell her she looks beautiful and that she's a princess and everything and throw in jokes but like its been hard getting my mind off of her so I just wanna text/Snapchat her and sometimes I send like 4 messages at a time I know that's pretty annoying but all I wanna do is talk to her
I have the same problem, I Think I come off as desperate which sucks I don't know how to fix it either
