The most helpful advice you will ever receive, ever:
You don't matter, your problems don't matter and existence means nothing.
You are just byproducts of the universe, you were not made by Gods or put on this world for a 'special purpose.'
Don't let that stop you from living a happy life though.
Make money, use people for your own personal gain, succeed, die happy.

I wonder what were the final thoughts that passed through cioran mind before he died
>>17324015
You are a dumb faggot
>You don't matter
The vast majority of people and life in general don't matter
>Not here for a specific purpose
>LOL live a happy life, k guiz ;) Just make sure to fuck other over lololol XD
Fuck you. Life is worthless past the age of 18 if you weren't born into a rich family or had determination to make it through. Posts like your's give me the motivation to actually kill myself. Fuck you, you dumb faggot
>>17324015
Thanks, Rand.
To a degree, I agree with your point. But the way you put it just makes you out to be a selfish asshole.
Srs question.
If you don't like doing it, don't do it. But if you want to satisfy women, you should warm them up first.
I mean this seriously, sex is better when you care about how your partner feels.
>>17323985
My wife's girlfriend says yes it is.
Foreplay comes in different variations. Sometimes you finger the girl, sometimes you fingerbang her, sometimes you eat her out, sometimes you fist her, etc.
I want to slay normies like the knights of old slayed dragons... How can I go about this?
I think the church has stopped making saints, so this would effectively be impossible.
Though luck, OP. You'd have to leave the house to do that
How would you tell the normies from the non-normies?
What if someone you think is a normie is actually a person that does a lot and I mean A LOT for charity and really dedicates his/her life to make the world a better place?
Would this plan work in real life?
>be walking down some empty street with a girl you know
>previously hire guy friend to show up there with his face covered and pretend to assault you two
>get him to hit you and violently assault the girl as well, as you pretend to fall to the ground
>get up and pull some karate move on him, knocking him unconcious
>run away with the girl
>suddenly she's in love with you because you faced a dangerous situation together and you "saved" her
I'm not interested in the moral point of view. Also, assume that both guys are willing to do this. Would the plan work to get the girl? And no, I'm not going to try it in real life, just asking hypothetically.
Well as a girl, the first thing I'd want to do is contact the police.
>>17323957
A million things can go wrong, and a few thousand of those involve the girl somehow seeing the face of your friend. Now you've got a friend who you have to effectively cut out of not only your life, but all your friends' life as well, due to the chance of her viewing a photo of him or whatever else.
Dumbest idea ever.
>>17323957
Don't have the guy attack the girl, she may actually try something like pepper spray and it causes too many variables.
Other than that, I have no idea on if you should do it or not. I like that you think like you're in a sitcom. You and I have a lot in common lol.
Hey /adv/,
I'm a high school senior who needs some serious advice.
Throughout high school, I took very mathematical-oriented courses, as well as a minor focus in social studies. I had planned that I would go into computer science or a related career, but I now realize I would be a better fit within politics.
If I were to want to have a political career, and I majored in political science, should I give up my attempts at becoming a politician due to my focus in math in high school? Do they take high school into deep consideration?
Thanks guys. I know that 4chan is an awful place to be asking such life advice but it was my last resort.
Do not go to school to be a politician.
Go to school to get a job
Become a politician to solve problems (or be corrupt)
You are not elected based on your degree. Most politicians are lawyers anyway.
>>17323850
Most politicians went to Ivy-League school. if you like politics, take economics.
>>17323850
If you are good at math then you won't make it as a politician.
I knocked my flowerpot over trying to move them to more sun. They're only seedlings. How do I save them?
>>17323837
Carefully repot them, any broken stems you will need to use a thin piece of wood and carefully tie it so it is "upright". Shouldn't be too difficult.
>>17323846
They are about the size of my thumbnail, I will do my best.
I am literally watching them wilt and die in front of me. Is there any other advice? These are so small I don't know what to do.
Based on the "symptoms". It seems that i've been dealing with depression for over 3 years.
I've never talked about it with someone. I don't want them to get away from me, think i'm crazy, think I want to draw attention or pity me.
I try to cover when I'm deep low by trying to help friends not feel this way, I try to "look and feel" happy in a normal, moderated way. Helping them, listening to their problems.
I don't want to be a bitch, but I really feel worthless, I came to the point where I made an entire plan to kill myself without involving/damaging anyone, trying to avoid as much people as possible and make the pick up of my body easy by not leaving a mess. Haven't "executed" it because I don't have enough money for it, sadly I have my "special savings" for it.
I have a gf, she says i'm an overly sensitive person, that I exagerate stuff.
Friends say the opposite, my gf is actually a bad person, she manipulates me and lies (according to a psychologist). I'm going to dump her, sadly she's 1 of the 2 persons I know that make me forget my depression, it's hard for me.
But I never talked about it, not even with my psychologist. More than 3 years passing every birthday, christmas and vacations wondering why the hell i'm still alive.
Is it a good idea to put it out of my chest? Tried to talk it with one close friend, but to be honest I just bursted in tears, he didn't knew what to do and started to tell me a story about his soccer match.
Any tips?
>>17323659
Just a question.
How old are you?
>>17323659
Sounds like depression. I recommend you not cut ties to anyone if you can help it. Work on being less sensitive(because you do seem to be). And truck on. Resist the urge to isolate or emotionally vomit on people. find a middle ground.
>>17323659
Hey man, I've been through the same and depression is not something that goes away. But I'm a stranger on an anonymous board, tell me anything you want and I'll answer honestly. Don't keep it to yourself.

Dear Danny DeVito,
I had a dream last night that you were feeding my fried chicken in a Kabul slum.
I shouldn't have taken the breast piece. It was too chewy.
All the best,
John

Dear all bitches who have rejected me before i got engaged.
I'm speaking to you 3 whores of course, you know who you are.
That's right bitches I fuck regularly now and will soon have a wife while you are still doing your completely pointless shit you were doing back when I was dumb enough to fall for your shitty routines.
I hope you get rekt and faster aging. I will be infinitely times happier with my life than you could ever be, since you hate yourselves too much to do anything with your lives.
Choke on dicks and die,
Me
Dear Facebook,
Stop putting her on the top of my contact list. She's not even the person I talk to the most, what the fuck. It's just not gonna work anyway.
Just fucking stop goddamnit.
I can't stop sweating lately.
I don't know if it's my body or the heat or what.
In the middle of the night, 75ac in my house, sweating like hell as I try to sleep.
step outside for two seconds, come back in, waterfall off my forehead.
just sitting under a fucking fan in the a/c, and I am STILL sweating.
I've been having to take like 2-3 showers a day to deal with it all.
What color is your pee? You might be dehydrating.
drink water my dude
You're overweight and you ingest too much sodium in your diet. So when it's hot, you suffer I've been there. Eat healthy, drink water. Give it some time. Poof, magic.
I think I might be a creep /adv/
There's this girl, we're friends, I told her how I felt and she wanted to stay just friends. After the initial kick in the gut I got over it well. We pretty much stayed the same. We'd go out in our group of friends, we'd hang out just the two of us, and we haven't talked any less than we used to.
That changed. I thought I could handle it, but I've noticed that every time I see her, or know that I'm going to see her (we work together and overlap at least once a week), or even just hear her name, I get anxious and excited. And when I'm not with her, I think about her. But the worst thing is, if I don't hear from her, or see that she hasn't been online in a while I start assuming the worst. "She doesn't have time for me", "she's probably out with 'someone' doing 'something' ". If I don't get a message back but see she's been online I feel jilted or insulted.
I don't want this to get any worse. By which I mean I don't want to constantly feel like this. I hardly look at other women now, and the things I used to enjoy have gotten a bit plain.
What do I need to do?
>>17323505
a) get over it
b) man up and tell her about your feelings
>>17323505
Stop being friends with her. You want more and are being friends to still feel attached. Need to break the chain and go find happiness elsewhere. No point staring at her FB and doing mental gymnastics about what she is doing and with who.
When you do, you'll wish you did it sooner.
>>17323505
If your happiness depends on her this much, it might be a sign of depression. The obsession side is especially unhealthy.
Don't just shrug it off, at the least bring it up with a doctor and find out for sure.
Hello guys. How can I get these lines under my eyes to go away?
>>17323448
stop being a stressed out faggot
sleep
Get a good restful sleep.
I've had those marks since I was ~10 OP.
They've gone away at really high points in my life, but they come back.
I hope you're not under too much stress, as >>17323465 suggests.
Tried similar @ /lit but didnt get sth going.
Question is a philosophical one but concerns our lifes and our problems in it deeply; how do we perceive life? How should we perceive life?
Are our paths prescribed? Since our universe is a harmony and has laws, theres no chaos- no randomness- and therefore everything is prescribed- everything has a concrete cause and effect.
On the other hand we have the obvious self-conception, that we HAVE a free will- that we are responsible for our doings- that we can do good, and bad things, and can choose. How does that correlate?
Maybe we are all wrong, trying to change our lifes, and, as brilliantly observable here on /adv, failing to do so since we cant? Respectively we may change but not by our power, so it doesnt even matter how hard we try? All day long we busy ourselves with things we cant change instead of devoting ourselves to the calm satisfication of accepting predetermination as the truth and rest in awe in face of the unseizable miracle of life and universe.
But yet the bible says were gods on earth... that we can sin, therefore CAN decide. If we WOULDNT decide, we shouldnt be responsible for our doings either, right?
So, how can we make those two concepts work together? How do YOU perceive life? If its all predescribed -> Fuck everything? And if we have free will - why dont we all have an awesome life by USING our power of creation?
Id like to read your thoughts!
A good way to ensure that people will answer your question is by making sure your question is concise. Asking only one at a time helps, too.
>>17323373
Life is an illusion, our perceptions and the distinctions we make between things reinforce the illusion.
That we walk distinct paths, is an illusion. There is no free will, only action and reaction in an endless cycle. This is not a deterministic stance though because there is nothing being determined.
Good and bad are the same, all opposites arise together and therefore are the same.
Bible is bullshit.
We can't 'make' anything work. True freedom arises when we shatter all concepts, ideas, perceptions, etc.
fear, poverty and hunger diminish free will and creativity, how can u "be" when you're hungry
So last year I bought a Motorola Moto G off Amazon with a warranty but it later cracked and is now failing. My warranty was up after a year but I was never notified when that happened and tried getting my money back but they wouldn't allow me.
Is there anyway I can replace my phone for cheap with the exact same phone and transfer data without buying a new one? I might contact Amazon again and ask
>Is there a way to get a new phone without buying a new one?
Nope.
Moto G's are one of the cheapest phones you can buy, sempai. What the fuck do you want?
>but I was never notified when that happened
what? you expected to be told time had elapsed? the fuck is wrong with you
>>17323257
should I get another one or a different phone?
Tell us what's going on, anon.

Started a new job today not exactly sure how I feel about how it went.
I guess by my standards it went alright, but for a normal person it probably should have gone a lot better.
The job is at a call centre, a junior role and I have no experience so they had me sit next to this cute girl and just listen in on her calls all day. It was awkward as fuck because I didn't want to distract her from working, and she could get a call at any time even if I did. So I just stayed silent, we spoke a few times, learned a little bit about her but not much. I didn't really speak to anyone much at all.
I don't know anybody there, and it was all so awkward which I expected, but it's just I'm working with literally all girls, which you wouldn't think is a bad thing, but I'm not that good with women, and I found out today my humour doesn't seem to be on the same wavelength as most of these girls. There were a few points that I was making this cute girl laugh but I just couldn't even force myself to laugh at some of the shitty jokes directed my way by the manager lady and she even commented on how I'd get used to her humour eventually. I don't think i will.
These girls are way out of my league anyway.
I feel like an outcast loser. I'm in a pretty bad place at the moment with my confidence and self worth. I've been thinking a lot more about killing myself lately, I know that's pathetic but I'm just putting that out there. Like it's just a normal thought now, I don't have to be crying bitch tears in an upset rage to think like that. I just get in my car light a cig, stare into space and just think about dying, different ways it would happen, what it would feel like to feel nothing etc.
Just want to get this shit off my chest.
I don't really get horny when I'm with my crush. I can't even fap to her. Nothing.
Not sure if I am lucky or cursed.
kinda makes you question how you really feel about them
I leave my home on Wednesday to do my 'This is it' adventure.
Throwing every penny I have at going somewhere, anywhere to die.
I'm sick, and sad, and lonely. I don't really want to die without having seen some cool shit. Maybe I can get laid on the way too.
I never knew what did I want to be when I grew up. Now I am 23 and finishing a Law degree that I dislike very much. I chose law for doing something else with my life. But now I am fearing that I will end being bitter.
I just want to know how people find out what do they want to become. What is their source of inspiration, what do they like. When I was a child I had those interests, I wanted to work as a paleontologist, and growind up I always had an interest in Sciences. But somewhere during the ages of 16-17 that died, and I found myself without any inspiration of making myself a future.
If Im going to end as a bitter worker, at least I want to know what could have I been if I knew during my highschool years what should I had studied.
Any help?
Bump?
You answered your own question, op.
>>17323156
What? How?
