How to study like an asian?
Seriously. I try to learn more than 6 hours a day but after a while my head get a bit "foggy" and I can't focus properly anymore.
Any tips to counter that?

Vyvanse. I took 30mg (a typical pill) once during finals week. Researched for and bombed out a 12 page paper in a couple hours. Helps keep you focused, highly recommended. I haven't taken it since then, and have not felt any addiction or anything like that. Adderall will have a similar effect.
When you take it (after eating of course), start working/studying immediately. You won't feel anything kick in. Rather, you will look at the clock and realize you've been studying for about 4 hours or so.

Well, I assume it's not that easy to get it in germany? Would love to try it out.
>>16688919
Hmm. Are you a student? I got my pill from a fellow student who is prescribed so it was pretty easy.
Is it actually possible to get a GF while being balding/bald at 18-20?
I always see people trying to say that it doesn't matter, but it literally does. Redditors and other people like them always try to make things sound completely kosher and in control when they may just not be because of unfortunate events.
I mean personally, I don't like bald heads. It doesn't really fit my personality or my interests, and I think hair is nice. It really does not make sense to me when people say "just b confident bald guys are sexy", no, they're...

no, I hate Vladimir Putin. I think that guy is a douchebag.
My only options are probably a girl with daddy issues who has a bald dad.
>tfw gf used to fuck famous musicians
how do I get over it?
Have sex with that musical pussy.
Be you, and be comfortable in being you.
If you don't like who you are, do things to become the person you want to be.
Once you have certainty in your identity, regardless of other people's opinions, you will be fine.
In addition, you need to do all the necessary behaviors that make someone attractive (be a person that other women desire, understand what women find sexy vs. what a man finds sexy, fuck her well, have a code by which you won't break, even for her).
stop caring about it you insecure little beta
I'm an 18 year old HS senior who really doesn't have any friends or has ever had a gf. My supposed best friend just freaked out at me for telling a joke and he cancelled plans we had. Is college actually better than this? People sometimes talk to me, but other than that, I spend my days alone and never even get texts. Girls never pay me any mind, and I've been rejected or just flaked off every single time. I'm told I am handsome and I'm not socially autistic, it just makes no sense.
In short, can I anticipate better times when I start college?
If you go nowhere except your dorm, your classes and the food hall, then yes you can expect the same thing.

Okay, then what should I do there? It's not like I can go anywhere here without being invited to do so. Nor do I really want to with these people...
Help. Life is suffering.
Idk if I'm overreacting, but I'm kinda angry.
I'm travelling and my boyfriend is feeling kinda lonely, so he gave his skype name in one of those skype threads where there are a lot of thirsty thots.
I'm pretty jealous and I have some trust issues due to some problems we had in the past.
Should I do something about it?
>>16668507
>one of those skype threads where there are a lot of thirsty thots.
You mean horny, sexually-confused dudes willing to jack off with other sexually-confused dudes.
You're right to be worried, but you're worried about the wrong thing.
>>16668516
What should I be worried about?

Like, one of those girls added him.
There ARE meme thots there, not only dudes.

So basically I dont interact with girls bc im scared of being labeled a creep. Like I'll look at a girl and look away if she looks my way and try my best to not talk to her without her talking first. This therefore fucks me over bc girls want me to make the first move but I can't because what if they just think im creepy for doing so. It's kind of a trap and i was wondering if any of you guys know how to get out of said trap.
>>16689941
Let me provide you with a simple decision making guide regarding this topic:
Are you attractive? If so, you aren't creepy. If not, then you're creepy.
Eh, they can still feel your attraction to them. Use your words to develop your emotions towards them to more than just "wish shed fuck me".
T. Someone who has to start doing this with my mom and brothers gf because they hate me since I act how you describe
>>16689944
>Are you attractive? If so, you aren't creepy. If not, then you're creepy.

>>16689941
Solution: Just stop giving a fuck and start doing it until you get over it. Confidence goes a long way in curtailing creepiness.

Hello male of 21 here, I've come back here to get some advice.
I've been seeing this girl for a while to the point where we're in an obvious relationship.
I'll start off with saying we're busy people but do make time to communicate a lot. We see each other at least once every month and it works so far.
We've been getting to the sexual activities. I haven't been able to do too much to her because we usually are together at the end of the month and that happens when she's on her period a lot.
Last time I was with...

Just slap her around and call her dirty things. Claw back into the domination factor as you enjoy it or that'll be your assholes last kiss.
>>16689532
I like your choice of words.
I just have to make her feel submissive as she does it? Any other tips to do that than you mentioned? I'm quite in a vulnerable position when she does it so I'm a bit at loss on what to do.

My wife wants a divorce, after a short 2 years of marriage. She's cheated on me, and basically just been immature, and though it hurts, I don't mind moving on to better things. Neither of us want to end up solving this in a court, but I'm hung up on one thing - She wants to keep a new car I purchased after we were married. It's entirely in my name. I know she'd never be approved to continue paying for it, and I don't want to pay for her means of visiting her new boyfriends, I'd rather just sell the damn thing and pay down the remaining loan....

Sell it before you start the divorce.

Bruh, she aint entitled to anything she cheated, tell her to go ask that other nigga to support her since she wanna go violate something as holy as marriage.
Need some answers /adv/ got caught trying to leave work with an SSD and was going to be fired until one of my cowrokers told me i could resign and leave a letter saying i'm basically quitting to find work elsewhere. I told my manager and he seemed to be okay with the idea, so basically i had two options either i quit on good terms or let them fire me with bad letter.I filled the letter of resignation and everything seems to be okay while i start looking for work elsewhere, will this bite me in the ass when using previous job as reference? I hear they can't give out...

Where do you live? Answer will be dependent on employment law in your country.
how to deal with severe depression without medication?
>>16689247
Accept it as your baseline in life.
>>16689247
Just be yourself
>>16689247
psychologically condition your brain to enjoy life.
first and foremost:
do you actually have a reason to be depressed? or does the normal wave of life make you feel depressed?
if you have reasons to be depressed, write them down. if your list looks like this
>no gf
>no best friends
>no money
than you are already on the wrong track. the most you can really ask for in terms of money is enough...

hi /adv/
I just can't spend any time at home working
I just play vidya
I don't even read anymore, I used to read books like crazy
I want to study, my grades are really going down and it's going to ruin my future
I just can't concentrate at all, my grades are shit, all because of gaming
without gaming though, I can feel no joy in life anymore
What do I do now? I spend 9 hours a day on my PC.
>>16689216
suck some dick
>>16689216
Go somewhere else to study, like a coffee shop or library.
>>16689216
decide what is more important, gaming or your studies. then build your life around what is more important.
imo people put too much emphasis on getting a career they dont really want. its not that hard to make it in the world and live a reasonably comfortable life that suits your hobbies.
that being said, lets operate under the assumption that you are going to want to continue studying.
here is what you do
>make a list of everything you need to do school wise
>divide it by what needs to be done that specific day
>its its generic 'study' time, set out a certain amount of time you want to adhere to
then you just do it. you can play video games / hang out with friends / other leisure activities only when you complete your daily tasks. have a check list and mark things off as you go.
>BUT ACTUALLY DOING WHAT I NEED TO DO IS HARD CUZ I CAN JUST WALK OVER TO MY COMPUTER AND CLICK A BUTTON
if this is your outlook about the situation then youa re fucked. no amount of advice we can give you will help cuz even saying something like 'delete the games; will lead to you saying 'THAT WONT WORK CUZ I CAN JUST REINSTALL THEM'
you have to have a human level of accountability here if you want this to work at fucking all.
the best things i can offer is
>make the checklist
>adhere to it
>Reward yourself only when its been completed
>try and use a buddy system to make sure you dont sneak away (re: roommates / parents dictating when you can or cant play video games).
Hi, Im actually summer-working in a pool in a hotel and I have no computer and spend 5-6 hours of my job just sitting behind a desk doing nothing but reading /sci/. I dont wanna waste more time, I wanna learn something. But reading books in my phone is annoying with all the zooming because of the little letters. What should I do?
>>16689205
You read books ON your phone
Drown yourself in the closest body of water you illiterate finkrat
>>16689205
>not just playing with dinosaurs all day
are you not allowed to bring in a real book? if not why are you allowed to read your cell phone all day but not a book? are you not allowed to bring anything in? its a desk jkob that doesnt get a whole lot of action so generally employers are comfortable with you having something to do inbetween random people coming up to you.
>>16689211
Is the only thing I can do. This place is a vacation complex far away from cities. No good internet, no books, phone only, final destination. Besides, my boss is gonna tell me something if he see me reading books in the job, but using your phone its something everyone does.
