Is it worth it to get a bachelor's in medical technology?
>>16573147
If its what makes you happy.
>>16573155
But I don't know if it is worth it or if I should major in something else. I don't have any real interests or talents. I think helping people would be nice though.

Medical sales makes mad dosh fampai
My parents want me to finish this year of university before getting a job. They want me to focus on studying 100%. I want to get a job now since I'm 23. They are a couple of psychos that can't be reasoned with and threaten to leave me or kick me out if I don't do what they want.
What should I do?
I want to set them on fire in their sleep. They are freaking me out.
>>16572800
Call their bluff and leave
Be like ok well I am getting a job then, bye.
They'll be like "OK OK WAIT WAIT NO YOU CAN HAVE A JOB NOW PLS JUST STAY IN SCHOOL :-:"
Boo fucking hoo, your parents who are supporting you financially don't want you to work while attending school.
Real bunch of psychos.
Finish what, your degree? Your general-ed? Either sounds like a remarkably good idea.
If money is the reason why you can't save the world right this fucking second, then put ten pounds of your most valuable possessions in a sack and carry it out with you while you hit the road so you can get a job. Otherwise, ace those tests tomorrow and find your lucrative career the day following.
How do I prevent loneliness from making me a bitter asshole?

Make friends in your head.
>>16572646
I have lots of friends but they don't usually make me feel any better about anything. Maybe I'm more pussy-deprived than lonely. I can't seem to keep female friends around because of my implicit desperation.

Girlfriend too touchy feely with friends. Male friends. There's one in particular she always mentions, that she hangs around a lot, greets him sometimes by saying ''hi handsome/pretty/cutie'', play games with him(and me together), but in some games for example where you can interact, she does things like ''hey it's like you're slapping my butt!'' (as an example). She's touchy-feely with a lot of friends which happen to be mutual friends of mine. She's been like this for some time, even before me, but now with this...

Alex, My final answer is "What is a cuckold"
>>16572415
She's doing it on purpose, confront her about it and/or dump her.
>>16572415
You're just making the situation worse OP. Just go out with a good female friend of yours and do the same, see how she responds. Then a valuable lesson will be learned

Girls what do you think the most of when asked out, that makes you decide whether or not to agree?
The person asking you? The date activity/setting itself? How much potential for fun the date has? How much relationship material the person is?

You know, you could have just picked another picture instead of distorting this one
Girls, if you had to cancel a date because you caught the flu, would you already set a replacement date or wait until you get better?
Hey /adv/, I do not need help or your opinion of AA or NA.
I have been sober for a year, I no longer desire liquor and I am actively sponsoring two newcomers.
That said,
Im still a huge liar. I tell everyone god or a higher power has kept me sober and sane this long, but when i pray i feel nothing and its been like that since the beginning. I am scared to tell my sponsor about this because I talk about how important it is to have a higher power in order to stay sober to everyone.
Im scared because i do not want to go back and i know how important it is to...

Many of the greatest feats in history have been done without the belief in a higher power. And I feel confident that you are plenty strong enough to stay sober for your whole life. Good luck
>>16573425
You need no power greater than yourself, expecting a higher power to save you sets you up for failure.
If you never found god, you never needed it from the get go.
Plenty of atheists believe in higher powers than themselves. I do. I just believe in powers that are actually real. Country, community, society, even family. Maybe you couldn't have gotten sober yourself (and maybe you could have, I don't know; there's no shame in needing help, of course) but the AA community, and perhaps your friends and family, are the ones who really helped you. Not God. He didn't do shit.
Positive Thinking Thread
There can be no positive result through negative attitude. Think positive. Live positive.

Hi /adv/ I´m a sucker for deep relationships most of the time,
so I need advice on how to develop strong relationships,
or how to grow the ones I have,
I´m not a shy person but I´m starting to see although that I talk to many people I never feel really connected to them as a friend or something like that.
So, what tips should I follow into building these strongs bonds with people around me basically?
>>16573266
I know the feeling.
I've found, that for me personally, being yourself and being there are the two key factors in making real, long-lasting friendships. It's through shared memories that people become friends, so make time to do things with other people.
Also, being a generous person helps.

I hate this board.

Unless you're a terrible, shitty person, in which case, don't be yourself, instead seek some perspective for your shitty worldview.
So this neighborhood cat usually chills near our backdoor on our deck. She was pretty skinny in any case. She had been doing okay.
But this morning i found her in the small forest behind my house unable to walk. Every time she tries to use her back legs she stumbles.
She would meow all the time too, but now only makes quiet whimpers.
Any ideas? Do raccoons or squirrels attack cats?
I can't take it to the vet, I have a final exam in like two hours. Also it's not really my cat. :/
Can't you take her after the final?
Unfortunately miracle cat cures fall outside this board's expertise. I realize that vet bills are expensive, but she's clearly sick or injured, and if you do nothing she might die -- quickly or slowly, I can't say, since I don't know what's wrong with her. If you simply can't deal with the responsibility and expense of taking care of her right now, which I do understand, you could at least contact a local shelter (if there are any reputable ones near you), animal control, or possibly a nearby rehabilitator. You can easily google for any of those and even if they can't provide treatment, then might be able to point you towards someone who can, or give you a better idea of what to do next.
As the former owner of countless amounts of cats there is a really good chance she was attacked by a stray dog, another cat, or in some cases a coyote.( all of which have happened to my cats). What I also know is that stray cats that hang around usually have several other homes they hit up for food and stuff. Try putting a pic of the cat on Facebook or something and maybe someone will recognize it. Good luck on the final exam
I'm new to 4chan and was just wondering why some people on this site seem so angry, or at the very least, so willing to offend others. Especially over on /b/. You all think it's just bravado or are people on here really like that?
We're all a bunch of grumps around here.
/b/ is literally just 4chan's kindergarten, you go there when you're first interested in the site then realize it has other boards, usually /v/ or /a/ are the first ones they go to
If you don't want people to be angry, a good start would be posting on the correct board. This isn't advice and doesn't belong here.
That said, as a courtesy, I'll answer you briefly. One, anonymity has a freeing effect everywhere; people say shit in YouTube comments they never would in real life. Two, historically, anyway, 4chan has attracted many social misfits or other people who are for whatever reason unhappy and likely to lash out. Three, as a result of point two, this site's culture has always been fairly abrasive, and this tends to self-reinforce;...

So I have a very good friend who has a birthday on the same day when my gf-s mother has a birthday.
I am invited to both, but unsure which one to attend.
Which one should I go to? I already told gf and her mom that I'm coming, but at the same time this is one of my best friends..
>I already told gf and her mom that I'm coming
Then it's settled.
>>16573132
talk to your girlfriend and see how she feels about it. if its something that makes her moody, talk to your best friend and see if oyu cant just hang out together the next day or the night before.
but if ur gfs like 'she dont care, she old' then say thanks and go hang iwth ur friend.
theres also the 'oh i can show up for ur mums bday but leave like an hour later to go to a friends birthday.
i mean if im an old lady and my sons bf says 'oh i gotta go, its my best friends...

Go to both. Spend a few hours at each one.

You know you're going to have to tell us what you did before we help you, right?
Her mom is super involved in your relationship. Are you in highschool?
What did you do?
Anons, need new shoes. Big fan of darker tones. Need ideas! What are you guys wearing?
> pic related, my old shoes
>>16572970
>/fa/
seriously though just go to the store, try them on, look at yourself in the mirror etc.
Chelsea boots and oxfords, mostly.
You're at least 18. You're allowed to wear shoes like that if you want. You might even prefer it once you try.
I have a bunch of social clothes and daily i mainly wear casual
/adv/, help me. I'm so pathetic. How the hell do I text somebody that I've never met before and know nothing about without making a total pasta-palooza out of it? I am by no means people-centric. I'm incredibly awkward and if there were ever a contest for worst at initiating conversations with people, I would win first place.
>>16572938
>how do i text someone i have never met
you'll have to give us more context.
>hey bb you want some fugg
doesn't work if this is for someone ur trying to buy a car from off of craigslist, or a potential new employer looking for seasonal help.
Do you have an actual reason to text them? Or are you just trying to say "hi" and get to know them?
Why are you texting people you don't know? If I for whatever reason was texting someone I didn't know my first text would be:
"Hey is this (name of whoever I'm texting)? This is (my name)."
And if even this text seems psychotic, I'd probably further explain how I got their number if they replied to the first text.
