Is this an LDR?
shaking my head
>>16629225
?
I don't know how these things work man.
>>16629234
Rule of thumb: If you have to ask, it's probably not an LDR.
I'm looking to upgrade my computer for the years to come but I need to plan it. I know I'll need a stronger power supply for sli and I'll change my motherboard to one with more x16 pci slots. I plan on reusing my i7-3770 processor.
I'm just torn between gpu. Is it worth it to sli my gtx770 2gb if I have a 144hz 1080p monitor or scrap the motherboard idea and just get a gtx 980 or something. I'm looking to make this last at least 3 years so I want something future proof.
You're going to get better performance from a single card than doing SLI. Also future proof is a really dumb phrase as nothing is future proof.
>>16627196
When I say future proof I just mean something that will have me playing the latest games for at least a few years. I realize the future is impossible to predict.
Also all the benchmarks I have seen show sli outperforming or matching most of the expensive gpu for half the cost so what makes you say the performance when using sli being worse?

Your virginity is
I have a bit of an issue I could use your help with, /adv/.
My girlfriend of five years and my best friend of 1.5 years absolutely don't get along, and it's a little bit my fault.
When I started hanging out with him, I introduced my girlfriend with the expectation that everything would be cool.
After the fact, she told me she thought he was rude, that he had insulted her, and that he was pretty much trying to get in my pants.
I made the completely stupid mistake of telling him this, and this confused him because he had no idea what she was talking about, had presumed that he had made a good impression, and had received a good impression from her.
Now every time they're together, both of them are on edge because they're both suspicious about each other, which causes them to act unnaturally, which the other picks up on and interprets as hostility.
This has been going on for about a year now, and I'm getting pretty fucking tired of all the passive-aggressive shit I'm getting from both of them.
If I just hadn't told my friend anything, he would have been friendly towards her, she wouldn't have picked up on anything, and things would have gone smoothly. But I did, and now I've got to sort out this mess.
Any ideas?
Worth noting that when they first met, I didn't pick up on any rudeness or insults from him.
He acted and talked the way he usually does. Granted, he's a very unusual person, but if there's any malicious behaviour it's going unnoticed by me and everybody else around me.
>>16629133
If your best male friend isn't doing anything wrong, and you're not doing anything wrong, I think it's your girlfriend's fault. I think she lied about any malicious behavior (in the beginning) just to rustle your panties. Perhaps you're just blind to it because you love her
>>16629165
Why do you jump to the conclusion that she's deliberately lying?
Simple misunderstanding is a possibility, unintentional insults on his behalf are a possibility, completely negligence on my behalf to notice malicious behaviour is a possibility.
Even if you excuse both myself and my friend as a causal factor, that doesn't automatically mean she lied.
So these past two days I've broken into random bouts of nausea at complete random. This has never happened to me before and I'm extremely worried. Wat do?
Nausea is caused by so many things it's impossible for me to say. You could just be dehydrated, you could have been drinking, or you could have stomach cancer.
So try to think of anything, anything at all, that has been different from what you usually do.
>>16627134
I can't think of a single thing. I've been drinking 6 glasses of water daily, my eating habits haven't changed, either. Maybe I should go see a doctor? But, id so, what type?
>>16627114
Does anyone else have any suggestions? I've noticed that they tend to happen after I eat.
Hello /adv/, I think the time has finally come for me to get a girlfriend or fuckbuddy.
For the past 2 years I've been doing a lot of the so called "self improvement", and right now I have a decently fit body, am one of the best guys in my university degree program, and I started drinking alcohol and going to bars with one of my friend. I even dare to say I'm a pretty handsome dude.
Now my one question is, how do I actually get a girlfriend? Where do I meet these girls and how do I talk to the them?
I usually am le alpha male when chilling with mates and stuff but around women I don't know what say and I start stuttering and I basically look and sound like a giant dumbass. Can someone help me?
Reality check, no one who browses 4chan is an alpha.
No one cares if you're handsome, stop blowing your own cock.
>but around women I don't know what say
yeah, you're no alpha lmao.
Alphas don't give a shit about women, they say what they want and do what they want, you sound like you've got your own head up your ass with your beautiful physical characteristics, when really if you're having issues with just initiating conversations you're more beta then most guys below 5/10.
Maybe you should have tried improving just socializing with human beings you autistic fuck, women aren't goddesses, they're humans. Talk to them like you would talk to your friends.
You sound really stupid.
>>16627195
This
>>16627195
>hurr durr women are just humans
>just talk to them like others xD
I fucking hate this stupid shit give me actual tips or mental cues or something.
Besides, where do you meet girls in the first place?
I just kinda ditched one of my friends for NYE. Am I a dick?
>planned to go downtown with him and his brother, his girlfriend is working
>not that enthused about the idea, can't make it home if I do, will have to sleep on his couch and sober up, it's like an $80 cab ride one way
>turns out ALL OF DOWNTOWN has a $40 cover, nothing to be said of the bars
>back out
Now he's just going to go sit at his girlfriend's work by himself while she gives him free drinks. I mean, at least he'll have her, right? He refuses to come to my side of town, FYI.
Not really a big deal as long as you were up-front about it. It'd be a dick move if you made the plan, and just didn't show up
My mother bought me this for Christmas. Since atm it's just standing there taking powder might as well begin to play it. I'm too poor and not interested enough for piano lessons tho so imma learn by myself. Got some advice for a beginner? Like, how am i supposed to position my hands, easy songs to learn and yadda yadda yadda
>>16627059
Go youtube.
I taught myself from when I was 6, never formally trained, and I'm a damn site better than most I've heard
Pick your favorite song that doesn't sound too complicated. If you like EDM, especially techno, you're in luck because they're stupid simple and easy to learn.
Listen to that song on youtube. Then, try and piece together part of the melody on the keyboard.
Keep doing this.
It sounds like shit because you're only using one finger. Now you gotta use two. Then more, and more.
Eventually you'll notice some reoccurring concepts, pressing certain keys in a certain order makes a chord progression
Some chords sound dark, others sound happy, etc etc.
TL;DR: Piece together the simplest songs you like using one finger, then two, then both hands. Learn to separate the bass (Left hand) from the treble (right hand)
keep playing
I've been doing this for 12 years so it's hard for me to describe just how I learned, but this is the basics of what I did.
I'll explain the best I can if you have any questions
>>16627059
I also learned it by myself. Look on Youtube for Songs you like and add "midi" to your search.
If you´re lucky you might be able to connect the keyboard to your pc/laptop. Then you can use Symphonica. That´s the program this videos are made but it´s mainly used to learn songs without knowing the sheet music, notes, etc.

Anyway

>meet qt3.14

>shes dtf
>can't beleive im in this situation was at peace that this would never happen
>kiss her, eat her out, finger her etc
>she starts taking my pants off
>completely limp
>try to get some blood in there for the next two hours as we mess around
>still nothing even the morning after
Now I realize this performance anxiety and it happens to a lot of people, however
>be today
>shes coming over today
>haven't fapped in a week, last time was a day before she came over
>get a random boner here and there
>try to stroke it thinking about her
>she has an objectively hot body and shes attractive in general
>go limp the second i start thinking about her
What the fuck do I do
I really don't want to blow it a second time, not to mention my already destroyed self esteem
it'll stop when you stop worrying about it
>>16629119
How the fuck do I even do that
Bumping for this poor guy.
I am not a man but I think your cause is that maybe you're afraid she's too good for you? Maybe you're afraid of being a failure, a fuckup? Maybe you have the fear of rejection?
But yeah if you were my boyfriend I would know this would hurt your self esteem and I'd comfort you. I know how bad this shit can hurt a man. Is she at least understanding (empathetic) of your problem? Does she seem like she wants to help?
>if I crack open my microwave just a little it turns on
Holy shit

It speaks to you traveler
It knows the way
I'm texting with a girl that lives far away from me. We basically already said 'I love you' to each other after a week, and tomorrow she'll be in my town and we'll finally meet up. Now I'm a bit scared, because I'm not sure she'll feel attracted to my body. I honestly don't care about what she looks (she's beautiful in te pics though).
I have no complex, I'm 1.90 m, a good body, a 6.5 to 7 face, but I'm so scared she'll change her mind, not feeling physical attraction, because she means a lot to me.
Or am I just overthinking it since she's in love already?
I don't know girls at all
Saying I love you after one week? Finally meeting? After 7 days. This sounds like a train wreck waiting to happen.
>>16629096
help y_y why?
We texted for hours to no end, and a week felt like a month
Are you literally 12? Why would you tell somebody you have never met "i love you"? Like seriously... However, i wouldn't worry too much. She's probably very nervous too. Just rrlac and try to have fun. Nothing else you can do really
Pic related. What else?

What would attract a girl at this point? Confidence?

Ive been on 1.25 mg klonnopin daily for anxiety for the last 3 years or so can you guy give me some advice for getting off of it
just stopping is bad right?
little worried about how ill be without it but im not doing to well now anyway (neet, never leave my room)
my psychiatrist a shit so i dont think shell really help too much
I was like two years without going out, nor I talked just family sometimes, depressed as fuck.
Now I'm better, can go anywhere and I'm not insecure about myself, I did it alone, reading and reasoning, I think is mental, a mindset you need to work. You might need more help, consulting professionals would help you more I guess.
>tfw anxiety
>tfw psychiatrist gave me Zoloft and like 3 alprolozam
>tfw the alprolozam helps tremendously and the Zoloft just makes my poop mushy
My advice is to try slowly cutting your intake.
Do 1mg for 7-14 days, then go down to .75mg for 7-14 days, then .5mg for 7-14 days, ect ect
I am not a medical professional and I would seriously talk to your psychiatrist first, as I believe long term benzo use does have nasty withdrawl which can result in serious physical side effects. Do your own homework and maybe even talk to a primary care physician/actual doctor.

Should I go out for New Year's Eve?
Got invited to a friend's party and I'm 20, AKA the best time to be alive
Why I want to go out:
-I haven't hung out with my high school friends in a while
-My friend and I saved a bunch of fireworks and last year we shot them off and drank root beer
-I've never kissed a girl and tonight is probably one of the easiest nights to go out
-I'm afraid that if I bail on another party my friends might not invite me to the next few
Why I don't want to go out:
-If I don't go out I can sleep longer (I have work tomorrow)
-I can eat tons of fast food so I won't crave it so bad next year after my resolution not to eat horribly
-Social anxiety, I hate being around people I don't know in a setting where I don't know most people, talking to new people, starting conversations, trying to fill up conversations with witticisms, etc
-I look like a fat piece of shit, sometimes literally even, so it'd be better to not have to feel like that
