I deleted my Facebook in 2012 when I realized my only friends were my ex, my ex's friends, and my family. I sold my iPhone when I realized it's only handy use was road directions. I've never had a Twitter, Instagram, or a Tumblr account. I have a Linkedin profile with about 10 connections, all of which are acquaintances from college.
Am I in danger of falling behind in society without a smartphone and social media? I'd like to think not, because every new technology has become incredibly streamlined and user-friendly. But I get worried every time I...

Don't worry too much about it. There are a lot of people in rural/remote areas who are not keeping up with the latest technological trends.
Nah you did the right thing. As long as you don't spend all that free time masturbating.
>>16628974
I never was involved in social media, I have a shitty old phone, etc. It has its downsides, like not keeping up with trends and having less people willing to hang out with you, but if you don't care about that's stuff it's fine.
If you do, well that's what happens when you delete all your shit. Society has become very dependant on social media
I am not a recreational drug user, but I have sleep problems. I have routinely taken 50-100 mg of diphenhydramine off and on for several years (over 5 probably), I was wondering if this is safe or if I should stop using it.
I ask because before I moved to Australia, I could just pick some diphenhydramine off the shelf, but now I get a verbal warning and questions about my usage frequency every single time I buy it. I never really thought it was too dangerous because it was just on the shelf with no restrictions.
Is it safe for regular, non-recreational use?
>>16628931
It is not a recreational drug even though some people use it as one. You can't put your self into the worst trip of your life if you take enough of it. One of my friends who takes an interest in drugs effect on your mind as you go through the trip, (mainly psychedelics and dissociatives, he jots down what he can on huge doses and recollects after. Somewhat like a science experiment) say that diphenhydromine is the closest trip you can get to real schizophrenia. Talking to people and them disappearing mid...

Another thing.
>thought it was safe because it's on the shelf with no restrictions.
Coming from a medical family I can tell you, some of the most dangerous drugs are the ones you can buy at a chemist. Just because a drug is illegal or prescription doesn't mean it is any more dangerous. Paracetamol will fuck you up if you abuse it. We aren't designed to pop pills, avoid them as much as you can.
>>16628973
Well I don't abuse it, I just take the recommended dosage.
Is there any way to improve long term attention span?
I'm depressed loner with bunch of free time on my hand so I wanted to pour it into something productive or interesting in order to take my mind from suicidal thoughts. However I just can't stick with anything, lately I tend to drop games mid playthrough or anime in mid series. I want to learn something cool like new language, programming or how to draw but it seems impossible in situation where I pause movie after 20 minutes and never come back to it.
Any /adv/ice beside "just do it"?
No, anon. Get stoned and do it. Maybe you'll zone out and do it for a few hours.

Time will heal the pain. You will be fine.
Give it time to fade, and other people and activities to fill that void. It hurts now, but I can tell you from
experience that you will be stronger for it.

What is the problem?
GF/in-between says she needed space tonight.
Nicest way possible to break up with someone I suppose. It's just bullshit. Whats the fucking point in any of this relationship bullshit. It always ends, and then you don't even talk to that person anymore, like they never existed. This is how 99% of the relationships all of you will ever experience and most likely never experience one until you are 70 and 80. Its dumb.
I'm the type of person, once I find out the point of something, I stop being interested in it almost completely. I'm about this...

Dude how old are you? You're just being bitter which is understandable but she was not the one for you.
Take a break for as long as needed and then start dating again. Every girl is different which can be exciting.

Im 23, dating a girl who is too young for me, 17
Tonight, I was very excited for the new year. I don't know why, but it seemed like a big moment for me. I told my ex that I wanted to talk (just so I could end it once and for all, I didn't want a friendship or anything), but she after replying, never gave me another time that would work before I left for the big end of 2015 party. So I sent her a small letter, nothing emotional, just a "forever good bye" kinda thing, deleted her off social media, deleted her number, blocked her on everything except my texting.
I had a phenomenal night, got my new...

I don't mean too. I just wanted the kind people that supported me through these few days to know. I was also wondering if it was the right decision to do all that I did to try and move on. I'm sorry I offended you.
Not sure if this is the board to ask, but I've noticed this lump behind my ear. It's been there for a while, it hurts a bit when I touch it. I also think there's another smaller one under it, near my ear lobe.
What is it? What do?

Probably a zit. It hurts because you keep fucking with it. Happy new year.

Need help. I've been dating a girl for about 9 months and all those days we've spent together were great, but this last past month I've been pondering so much about ending the relationship. I feel like I'm tied down and that I want to meet different girls. (Not being conceited) but I know 4 girls off the top of my head that flirt with me all the time and even one texted me around 4am to pick her up (which we used to be fwb). I'm just really not sure what to do, my mind is filled with lust and temptation and I know I would never cheat on someone but I...

You should have written it first. Do whatever the fuck you want. As long as you not making anyone pregnant you gonna be okay.
/adv/,
I require assistance with my resume. I am graduating next year and I'm beginning to write up a new resume. I am comfortable in being able to 'sell' myself on paper however I need a bit of help with the formatting.
Most of the Microsoft Word Resume Templates seem too bloated in my opinion but considering I've never read anyone else' resume I have nothing to really go on.
I was considering designing my own simple resume with all the basics such as:
-contact details
-career goal
-education
-work experience
-references
-interests
Is there anything I else I should be adding?
What is the preferred structure for a resume?E.g. does the work experience precede the education section or vice versa?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
2 pages, max.
Contact details at the top, include citizenship status too. Make 'career goals' a personal statement instead - just a short paragraph about what you're looking for. Then skills, education and work history (can be the other way around, depends on which formats better), then achievements, and references. Interests is pretty irrelevant unless they actually have something to do with the job. Also always tweak your resume to suit whatever job you're applying for

Great thanks for the reply!
Hey channers, I need some light exercises. I am not that fat, in bmi I'm balancing between normal and slightly overweight, but I would like to change. But everytime I start working out, I almost die and have no energy,i just have no endurance - and it's been like this from my childhood.
Any tips or exercises are welcome, thank you. Pic not related
But the pic is related, anon. You have to believe in yourself. If you want to become fit, you want to believe. Reaching your goal will fill you with such euphoria that you are able to fly, like that man. You can do it man, if you only believe.

Weight loss is 90% diet.
You can not exercise and still lose weight if you watch your diet.
That being said, I'd recommend running.
I've spent new years eve with some friends, 13-14. This morning we went on some omegle to kill some time and we stumbled upon a guy who just started to make fun of me. I feel like shit. I know I should ignore this but I just cant deal with this shit. I feel like ugliest guy in the group
The other thing that made me feel bad about myself is that some friends continued to startle him and annoy me. I feel like shit, an ugly, loser, piece of shit. My insecurities are killing me

Forgot to mention, how do I overcome this insecurities?

This is my life. I realize every chance I missed, and I get depressed and become a slob, and the chances don't come any more. Suicide is probably the solution.

Hey guys I've been hanging out with a girl for a bit and I like her and she likes me. I know she likes me because her close friend told me and the girl has been texting me 24/7. Anyhow we have nice chemistry and I can make her laugh and we get along. But I have no idea how to kiss her or make a physical move. Any advice on how to do this would be really appreciated.
if you know she likes you and you two hang out on the reg, light "kino" is key. pick a random non-sexual place (eg her hand, her hair, her leg if you're already in) and touch it, appreciate it then it escalates from there
>>16628696
>lf she reaIIy Iiked you, this wouIdn't be a probIem
But you're a beta Iying to yourseIf. Keep doing that.
>>16628696
Easy. If you know she likes you, touch her. Like another Anon said, pick a place on her body, and touch her. Come up behind her, put your hands on her waist, and put your face into her neck. You don't even have to kiss her. Just make a move, silly.
I just want a good friend with whom I can drink and play games and have fun and have good conversations with, and occasionally fuck, but all the guys that I meet are either not interesting, want a relationship or only want sex (resulting in me turning them down for the moment, then they lose all interest because they only want to fuck and not actually be friends).
wat do
