When do you lie?
Why do you lie?
When do you prefer to keep some secrets to yourself, and not to tell?

What is your lie?

You are goddamn right. :)
I got to go to the dentist tomorrow to get a cavity filled and I'm more than likely going to get a numbing shot with it. Any advice to deal with the pain? I seriously hate this shot more than anything and the last time I had it done I swatted the shot out of my mouth because it hurt so bad. How painful would it be if I just had them do the filling without the shot?
>>16592334
Is my dentist just doing it wrong then? It seems like every time they do it, the pain is worse than breaking a bone, but when I tell others about it, they say the shot was nothing
Q: What is the biological purpose of pain, OP?
>>16592342
Does he put the pre-numbing goo in first?
Does he distract you by tugging your cheek while injecting?
I'm dating a man I met while prostituting.
I started working as an escort (euphemism for prostitute) about 4 months ago through an agency. I was trying to pay off student loans quickly and the money was really, really good. I lasted only about a month, though, because it was starting to rob me of my soul and I felt too much empathy for my clients. Also, the hours and what I had to go through physically and mentally was starting to take a toll on me. I knew that if I continued that line of work, I would have to resort to substances to get through it all and I made the promise to myself I would only do it if I was sober. I wasn't about that life, not with a college degree.
So on my last night of work, I finally made enough money to call it quits and leave that all behind me. On my last call, I met a man who I am now dating. I wasn't even supposed to meet him; another girl wasn't available to take the call.
When I met him, he instantly made me feel comfortable even though I had been heavily sleep-deprived and anxious to just go home and never have to do this ever again. Yet, he said something funny as soon as I met him and that whole night changed my life. We ended up talking all night and I spent the next day hanging out with him.
Three months later, we're still together and we're just as good as we started. When I'm with him, there isn't a care in the world, but late nights when I'm alone, I can't help but to pause and reflect on everything. Maybe because this feels like a real life Pretty Woman, maybe because I feel self-conscious under the circumstances of which we met.
I guess I just want to consider if this really could be happening? Should I be more careful? Am I overly trusting and operating on blind faith and butterflies? I just want to make sure I'm not overlooking anything here and if there's things I need to consider.
I'm also available to answer questions regarding any aforementioned topics.
Ask yourself the question: What values does he see in you? Is there any good reason that he would be really into you?
What you need to consider is whether he can take you seriously and is ok with dating a whore, because don't kid yourself, deep inside that's what he thinks of you.
I could see this working, and am routing for you. The biggest issue, is already out there, he knows what you did. It does seem hard to believe but like I said he knows you did it, you know he visits. Has he stopped? People meet under all kinds of circumstances.
Really all jobs are fundamentally the same (i.e. they become monotonous over time and there is stress). Why not find a job which pays more?
Also, /adv/ is a hypocrite. Everyone in >>16592175 is suggesting that OP not to pursue his interest for his career/degree!
>/adv/ is a single entity

The shitposting is real.
>>16592297
Define shitposting and explain how it applies here
Ask a girl who just cheated on her boyfriend anything!
Seriously if you need advice, just want to chat ... Whatever!
>>16592208
For what purpose
>>16592208
Why are you so proud announcing it
>chatting with morally challenged attention-seeking scum
No, thanks.
So I just got pulled over for a DUI. Thing is, I've never had an ounce of alcohol in my life. Let me explain.
I'm a type one diabetic, and while I was driving, my blood sugar dropped really low, and I started swerving in the road. I got pulled over, and tested and I obviously registered a 0.0, but the officer was suspicious. I told him that I was low, and he seemed to understand. He was kind enough to help me park the car, and gave me a lift to the gas station for a coke, hah.
My blood sugar came up, and he let me drive home. Even though I wasn't...

If he did not tell you about a court summons you will not receive one
>>16592125
That's just it - in my hypoglycemic state, I barely remember anything he said, other than "drive safely" when he let me go.
>>16592129
He would have written you a ticket. I'm sure you would remember that or at least have a piece of paper on you that stated you were cited.
My FWB just came out and said he has feelings for me. He said he wants us to be more (in his words). I think he's a perfectly nice guy, but I don't have romantic feelings for him. Should I give him a chance?
Absolutely not.
>>16591976
Wats an FWB

Fuck buddy.
Is herpes the end of the world? Should you just kill yourself if you get diagnosed?
Hell no - herpes is nothing.
>>16591953
Are you being serious anon? The stigma around it makes it sound life ruining.
>>16591958
I'm serious. One in six people in the USA have genital herpes. It's not a death sentence, or even a social death sentence. Sure there's a slight stigma, but it's totally treatable and if you have breakouts, they can go away with care.
Fact is, you'll always have the virus, but if you're upfront with your partners, wear protection, and don't treat it like a big deal, you'll be fine.
Any bitch that reacts that acts embarrassingly mean when you tell her isn't worth a go anyway. The worst she can do is say "No... sorry."
It's inconvenient and can be annoying, but it's hardly the end of the world.

wtf should I do with this "boil"?
Stick it with a pin/syringe and see what drains out.
Just be sure to keep it clean afterwards and cover it up.
If if's water, it's fine. If it's pus, put some Neosporin on it. If it's green gunk, do the same.
If it doesn't go away, see a doctor. But it's probably nothing.
>>16591908
Smear it with nutella
>>16591921
This is decent advice, but please remember to clean the pin thoroughly beforehand and sterilize it with boiling water.
I keep killing small animals, and I don't really know why. I must be getting some sort of satisfaction from it but I'm not even sure myself because I don't feel very satisfied after doing it. Any signs I could be looking for to determine what my problem is?
>>16591886
You're likely a serial killer in training. Anybody that would harm an innocent creature is not well. Get help.
Assuming you're not being an edgelord troll, let me ask you a few questions:
Do you intentionally kill them?
Do you get sexual satisfaction from killing them?
How often has this happened?
Do you feel anxious or depressed ever?
>>16591899
I doubt I'd have the balls to do any human killing. The prospect of life in prison is not appealing.
Anyone else care to make a different analysis aside from hurrrrr serial killer.
Also I'm 23 and only started the animal abuse last year. I could have started it earlier in life, but I didn't.
>gf and her family are going to south america
>only reason my gf can afford it is because her parents are paying for her
>cant afford to go atm but her parents to seem get it and keep telling me they'll look at cheaper flights
>continue to tell them I cant go
> I want to go but it just means ill be broke when I get back
Why should/shouldn't I go, why shouldn't I ?
>>16591814
you'd know that better than me man. it's a tough decision but it should definitely be your call =/
To me that would be a pretty obvious no.
>>16591814
You'd be a drag and look like a beta in the eyes of her parents and her. Strategic withdrawal.
Hey /adv/ is rhinoplasty worth it?
I have a crooked nose , and deviated septum
when I was a 7 yo I broke it so it got crooked , is not seriously crooked or ugly but I dont like it I want my nose straight like when I was 5 yo . and I cant breath very well too , what can you tell me about rhinoplasty.
Rhinoplasty is a simple and harmless procedure, OP. It's actually so common, you probably know a ton of people who had their noses done and you haven't been able to tell. However, the bruising is pretty ugly after the procedure and it takes a while to heal. If it bothers you and you feel like it could have a positive effect on your self-esteem, there's no reason why you shouldn't fix it.
>>16591549
I'm just a bit scared XD
I know that is very common but you know , sometimes Im afraid to get my nose worse than before.
I will probably do it when I have some cash.
>>16591555
Unless you manage to get a seriously bad doctor, there's very little chance of them messing up such a simple fix. Most bad noses happen because that's actually what the person asked for. Don't worry too much about it. Just.. make sure you can hide somewhere while it heals. It's really awful while it's healing!
I put my right hand on the gas stove when I was 4, my hand is extremely burned, and I feel like people are disgusted by it. I work at Victoria's Secret and people always give me dirty looks when I fold their clothes to put it in a bag, and one time a lady even asked me if I could get another associate to touch her things. I cried in the bathroom for a long time after she said that. And sometimes on the bus or something, you'll hear a kid say "LOOK AT HER HAND, MOMMY"
>mfw
People tell me I'm pretty and stuff, but that's before they see my hand. It's all discolored and well, the skin is so badly damaged.
Should I wear a glove? I seriously feel like it would avoid anymore uncomfortable moments.
>>16591532
You can bring gloves back. There are lots of pretty ones and I wish I saw more people wearing them today.
>>16591532
>Should I wear a glove? I seriously feel like it would avoid anymore uncomfortable moments.
Sure. You either have the option of hiding it or not caring what people think. You're struggling with the latter so go ahead and do the former.
People should learn to fuck off and quick being such pricks.
Next time someone comments on your hand say "HOLY SHIT YOUR FACE"
Hey guys how do you deal with this shit? Was with a girl for 4 years and now that I am alone I don't remember how to pick up girls.
>Match with cute girl on tinder
>started discussing
>bitching about a joke I made
>said to her that I don't need her in my life and if she doesn t know how to speak politely and with respect to me I will end the discussion. that i will not treat her as a princess
>"I like this kind of text, I'm very sorry, was
under anesthetic"
>wtf is her answer
>she's now very kind with me and not
unpleasant
>invited her for a drink
>she's busy and she said that she never move for the first date, the guy have to go see her first
>lost interest in our discussion
>never respond to her
It's been 2 days guys and I don't know what to do to see her without seeming needy. I think I have to reaffirm myself like I made in the beginning of our conversation.
I'm not very comfortable with phone seduction.
Help a man who hasn't get laid since 2months
>"I like this kind of text, I'm very sorry, was
under anesthetic"
Means she's a degenerate druggie, good if you're into that sort of thing.
>focusing on a single girl on an app where you literally reject people with a flick
tinder = volume dating

Was really at hospital saw it on fb
>>16591544
I will take it for a personnal defeat if I can't fuck her because she's an attention whore
Posted this on /an/ but that board is a bit slower than this one.
My Bolognese is making strange little gurgling sounds in her throat and sticking her tongue out at a certain pace. It seems like hiccups, but I want to be sure. She ate some peanut butter and a tiny piece of a treat and swallowed both without a problem, but she won't drink water, won't do even simple tricks for more treats, and is currently just lying down in a corner (she was sitting all hunched up before).
It's a little late so no vets are open right now. /an/ advice?
Yeah, peanut butter isn't a good thing to feed your dog, much like dry bread and other things, it can stick to their air passage and make them suffocate! It will most likely melt on its own, but it can take a while and you should watch her to make sure she keeps breathing. Do not fall asleep until you're sure she's breathing fine again.
>>16591524
She started doing this before the peanut butter though, and I only gave her a lick to see if she still had an appetite. Do plan to stay up though.
>>16591527
So its possible she might have swallowed an actual object? You will need to take her to the vet first thing in the morning, I'm afraid. Even if she does manage to breathe normal again, you might need to check the stomach.
