I work at a help desk and for the most part there's a lot of down time. I usually just watch YouTube or play some shitty flash games but lately I've been sick of doing that for hours. What are some things that either productive or will help me past the time that I can do from the computer I sit at all day. I'm not really supposed to install anything in them. It can be games, programming, reading, anything.

Write literature, save it on evernote or something.
Get a pen tablet if you like that and draw.
Take part in a forum.
I know it's easy but DO NOT waste your time on that youtube crap.
>>17307406
If you're a decent writer and researcher, you can write papers and get paid.
But since I have you the idea, you will have to do mine for free.

Learn some shit for free while getting paid at work. Take the Server Fundamentals test in your free time and get your MTA. You can put it after your name and it doesn't expire.

Before you post a question, check here to see if it's already been answered
Keep your questions short for more answers.
And please no derailing arguments.
FAQ:
>Do girls/guys like <insert specific look>?
>Is my body part big/small enough?
>Am I short/tall enough?
>Would you date a virgin?
><random insecurity>
Some do, some don't. Preferences differ, but complexes are always a turn-off.
>I'm shy and afraid of people/rejection. What do I do?
Get over it by practicing and exposing yourself to it, little by little, step by step. There is no single magical moment that will instantly change you forever. It takes hard work, time, and effort.
>I like someone. What do I do?
Ask them out.
>How can I tell if someone likes me?
Ask them out. This is something that cannot be explained. You either have learned to intuit this or you have not. If you have not, the only way to learn is experience--there are no shortcuts. So it comes back to: Just ask them out.
>Where do I meet girls/guys?
Anywhere outside. Or online. Don't complain that this isn't helpful; stupid questions deserve answers like this.
>Someone did something insignificant. What does it mean?
Nothing significant. Stop overthinking it.
Alternative answer: we don't fucking know.
>XYZ happened. Interpret this for me please
We're not in their head, we don't fucking know. No amount of your walls of text will fix that.
>This person did something that hurt my feelings. Why do guys/girls do this?
Because shit people are shit people. It's not a gendered thing
>Someone has made it abundantly clear they're no longer interested in me. Do I still have a chance?
No
>Where do I go on a first (or subsequent) date?
Pick one or more of the following: coffee, lunch, dinner, drinks, ice cream, movies, zoo, aquarium, museum, art gallery, <activity in your city>
>Brandon, that one guy who keeps asking about cuddling in platonic friendships and fart guy
Fuck off
Ladies, is power sexy?
Girls, how is your view on engineers, nerdy or rather someone how has his shit together, perhaps something completely different? I am asking this because i know no other girls than my waifu.
>>17307324
Not on its own
>>17307387
Nerds, though I might be biased because my brother studies engineering and he's the biggest nerd you could think you. I also tend to question whether engineering is something that the person actually enjoys, or whether they've fallen for the STEM meme. I don't think I'd want to date one, they tend to think logically to a fault, almost like a machine.
So I met this guy at a bar, we really hit it off, went back to his car and made out, got handsy, whatever. He texts me almost daily, and we went on our first date a week ago. We saw a movie, but no one was in the theater so we talked the entire time, kissing occasionally and laughing. He had me feel his dick, which was hard, and he asked if we should go someplace. So we did, and we had sex, took a nap together, showered together... He continued to text me daily and be pretty sweet to me. We went out last night and again, talked a lot and I got to know him better. Towards the end of the night we made out in his car and I went down on him....
Now, I'm trying to avoid this idea of typical dating expectations because everything went really fast. I know I did most of it because I want him to like me, I was scared to say no because I hate rejection, but I also really wanted to because I'm a sexual person. Now I'm wondering if this guy only wants me for sex or if that's my own projection of fear. We talked for hours, he checks in on me and jokes like "you better not be out meeting other guys!" Now he's insinuating for me to come over to his house, which I'm assuming is just for sex. He's also European and I'm American so idk if they just move faster.
Anyways, can a relationship still emerge if sex is a huge part of the beginning of dating?
>>17307196
It can, make sure you communicate what you want and be ready to walk away if you or he can't make certain compromises. Him bringing up exclusivity is a good sign, branch off from that and see what the two of you want and if it aligns, great, if it doesn't then at least you know now rather than when you're too deeply invested.
>>17307196
Tried to sleep w my European boyfriend right after we met, been together over 4 years. He was more into a relationship than me. So yes, but not guaranteed.
I haven't had a day off since a weekend in early December. My back is absolutely killing me, and my fiancee hasn't been able to get the walnut-sized knot out of my back. It's gotten to the point that she is nervous I have a herniated disk or something.
I don't have health insurance, so if I have to pick between a physical therapist, a masseuse, or a chiropractor, are any of them going to be able to help me walk again?
>>17307179
I would go for a physical therapist
Get health insurance idiot.
>>17307179
Do you live in a 3rd world country? Or the US? How can you work that much and not have health insurance?
I've been having ringing in my ear for the past 2-3 weeks, after putting a Q-Tip in my ear. The past couple of days, my ear has been getting stopped up, and I can hear something that sounds like rain.
What do I do?
>>17306978
never use que tips. they just push wax in. greatest scam ever.
there are different things you can do. the best thing i ever did was i went to some hollistic store and bought this weird thing you place over your ear, and through a paper plate with a hole, and you light the tip on fire, and the smoke causes the wax to come out. its really cool.
slower solutions are ear wax softener, and benzoyl peroxide. but it can take a few days of doing this to get it clear. it sucks.
i had great results just going to a doctor they have a machine thingy that shoots water at just the right pressure to unclog ya.
>>17306978
There are people who can use devices to see in your ear and diagnose the problem. They usually have years of schooling and training to tell you what the underlying issue is. Sorry though, I forgot what they are called.
>>17306978
If you think ear wax is the problem, pick up some ear wax remover from your local pharmacy. It's no more than 10 dollars.
If you think you may have something more serious wrong with you, call a doctor.
Give me some advice, /adv/.
Recently, my significant other has been "distant" for lack of a better term.
It started about 2-3 weeks ago, when she suddenly started to seemingly ignore my texts. She would talk to other people and use Facebook, basically anything but talk to me.
I talked to her about it, and she said she was just busy. I thought the answer was bogus, but I have her the benefit of the doubt and just accepted the answer. It kept continuing, so I asked again. This time, she said that she just hasn't felt like talking to people lately. I thought this answer was bogus too, and I pointed out how she has been talking to her other friends and even skyping friends. I then told her that she can talk to me when she wants to again. She stopped talking to me for 2 days. After those 2 days, she texted me again saying that she just needed some space. I accepted that answer, and she started acting normal again, and I thought everything was back to normal.
I was wrong. She's started ignoring me on some occasions. When I asked to hang out, she said "we'll see" and didn't talk to me for the rest of the day.
The next day when I asked if she wanted to Skype, she ignored me for the rest of the day. Sometimes I won't even ask to do anything and she'll ignore me.
I'm not sure what's going on. I told her that we need to talk when she gets off work today, so I'm waiting on that.
And advice? Opinions?
>>17306959
Is this an online relationship?
"Yes" - Find a RL girl.
"No" - Stop treating it like one.
>>17306977
It's not.
What exactly do you mean stop treating it like one? I'm not doing that?
How long have you been together? Is this something that you've sunk years into? If not, I think maybe have one more talk with her, explaining that she needs to be more responsive so you don't end up wasting your days waiting on the slim chance she'll want to be with you.
Why do women dislike when people find their bodies attractive?
>>17306921
Well, if I said hello to everyone that enters the coffeeshop, then they'll assume I'm some homeless beggar and I can be kicked out of the building with just that presumption.
Anyway, my god, "misogyny" is tearing this country apart. Now I need advice: What's a good place to move to when the USA crashes? I hear Ireland is a good place to be in.
>>17306921
They only mind when the person saying hello to them isn't attractive to them. This applies to both genders.
Also, that dumb bitch in your picture needs a punch to the jaw.
Are there people that really have a stick this far up their ass?
Just learned I have Prosopagnosia (face blindness). Does anyone have any tips on how to live with this? Maybe I should just end my life so I don't have to deal with it.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prosopagnosia
>>17306903
>end my life so i dont have to deal with the fact that i dont recognize faces
jesus this is the whiniest tumblr self diagnosis i have e ver heard.
Find alternate ways to recognise people. Try to recognise their voice, their body shape, their body language.
If you're out with a group of people, Maybe have one or all of them wear some kind of noticeable bracelet so you can recognise them.
What's your experience with it? Is it severe?
This is a picture of Gustav Fröhlich on set for the movie Metropolis (1927). Can you distinguish his face?
Hey lady anons, do you have any advice on orgasming. I have never had an orgasm (well not a vaginal one, only clitoral) and i really want to. It's about time i did anyway. Any tips on what i should do? What i should tell my partner to do? He's admittedly pretty small "down there", does that matter? Ugh help help help
>>17306803
>What i should tell my partner to do? He's admittedly pretty small "down there", does that matter?
REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
>>17306803
> vaginal orgasms
That exists? I was happy to think a man was capable of giving me an orgasm in the first place.
Male here. Was married for nearly a decade and my wife never orgasmed. I thought it was my fault, even though I'm 8 inches and proportionally wide too. After the divorce, I banged out a few or more sluts, and they had no problem orgasming.
After what I've learned, I've decided it is almost always the girls fault. Asian chicks orgasm all the time in jap porn, and those dudes have tiny dicks. Maybe your guy needs to jack rabbit you like the asian dudes do. There's also the possibility you just can't orgasm from vaginal stimulation, which I heard is fairly common for chicks.
I need someone who's good at immigration law to help me write a letter to help me cross the Canadian-us border so I can learn about a medical procedure through "Observationship"
I've been denied entry and red flagged before because I revealed to the officer that I did hands on work on people
A lawyer told me he would help me for $3000-4000.
How do I get this done for free or very cheap?
>>17306750
Please be leaving the US
>>17306751
I'm not in the US
>>17306750
>I've been denied entry and red flagged before because I revealed to the officer that I did hands on work on people
Wat
Are these any good for condom transportation? Any other alternatives are welcome.
>>17306716
Just layer 5 condoms on your flaccid excite bike so you'll always be prepared.
>>17306729
Dude I fucking loved excite bike
You win the Internet, good sir or madam or tranny.

I just graduated highschool. How do I forget absolutely everything about it (aside from a handful of people who i still want to be in contact with), move on and get a new life? I just deleted like 95% of the people on my facebook, what's next?
From what you described so far, it sounds like the next logical step is to enter the woods and become a hermit.
>>17306595
go live your life, jesus stop being so edgy
>HIGHSCHOOL WAS THE WORST
>EXCEPT FOR ALL THOSE PEOPLE AND MEMORIES I DID ACTUALLY LIKE LUL
you're not unique in this. just go live your fucking life.
>>17306595
Apply to college or go fling burgers (so you can feed all those people who hated you).
>lots of girls liked me in high school (I was one of the most popular)
>feels like 0 have liked me since college started
>still 0 romantic prospects since graduating college
>no matches on Tinder, girls on OKC bail
What gives?
Karma. You were probably a total douchebag in high school.
>>17306379
Are you fat and ugly?
>>17306395
Not at all. As an example, I didn't even make varsity in badminton
>>17306411
Fat no, ugly maybe. This is what I looked like in high school versus now
I see the same threads every time I visit this wasteland & the same shitty answers every time. I'm probably pissing into the wind here and nobody will care but here's my take regardless
>I'm overweight, I'm a fat fuck, I'm addicted to sugar/fatty shit, how do I lose weight etc?
Changing obesity is like most things, first and foremost a lifestyle change. As we know humans aren't good at changing habits (we fail at this 98% of the time, see: alcoholics, drug addicts, anorexics, obesity, etc). Instead, aim to change a habit. In terms of weight this means eating more or the same volume, but less calories. Which almost always translates to eating more vegetables.
Focusing on eating more veg instead of less X Y or Z means that you'll be fuller, for longer, and over time your taste profile will change away from sugars, refined carbs and saturated fats and towards wholesome filling foods.
Other things that increase the odds in your favour:
>Learn to cook foods you love
>Count calories and use them to set SMART goals
>Drink more water
>Don't eat anything processed
>I'm socially retarded, I'm scared to talk to people, how do I make friends etc?
This goes for relationships too, but relationships are simply an extension of friendships and they both rely on the same premise:
>Being around people with similar interests and/or personality in slightly vulnerable situations
The best way to get started with this is with hobbies and interest groups. Here you will not only meet people who share something you want/know how to do/know/learn about but they take the fear of looking stupid and having nothing to say out of it.
Simultaneously you build practical skills and knowledge which will help you:
>Be useful in society
>Have something to talk about with strangers
>Have regular interaction
etc
A persons value is mostly just a culmination of their abilities and interests.
What else do you fucks want to know?
Ayy how do I convince an alien to abduct and probe my asshole?
>>17306472
Travel near the border, bend over & offer them $20 each
>>17306695
Sounds good but I'd feel like a whore; will they still respect me in the morning?
I hate women.
How do I make friends with guys?
>>17306259
You are a woman, i presume?
>>17306284
Correct.
>>17306259
Why do you hate them?
