Are there any low-skill/minimum wage jobs that hire just about anyone and aren't manual labor? I can't do manual labor because I am a double amputee.
I apply to pretty much every minimum wage position I can find, but I never hear back from any of them. I have no experience, no work history, no references, no marketable skills, and no social skills.
But yeah, can anyone suggest anything? I can't work at McDicks, I can't move freight, I can't stock shelves. Seemingly all I can do is sit at a desk and do busy work like that, but none of those places will hire me.
Thanks

telemarketing is considered an easy in. the problem is that its hard to stay in. have you tried finding a job through a job placement organization or disability organization? they tend to know who hires amputees and can find you a stable gig
>>17306875
What are you missing?
>>17306881
Yeah I went to my state's disability program, the state program just put me in touch with another program in my local area and they don't actually help you find a job, they just teach you how to do interviews, write resumes, and give you transportation to interviews you might have.
So I just go on job boards, filter by minimum wage no experience and apply to everything. I have not heard back from one single place. Applied to about 200 places.
I am not even exaggerating.
Best product to cleanse your body of THC? I've been looking at permanent and temporary kits. Has anyone had any luck with a certain product? Want to get this job, but I can give it at least two weeks. Last time I smoked was Sunday btw

How could I do that? Just scoop toilet water in there or some shit?
I love my boyfriend, he's wonderful but I just can't get over this one thing about him that irritates me to no end.
He loves cartoons, which are fine, I outgrew them when I was a child. I still find enjoyment out of the cartoons I watched as kid, every once in awhile. It's not cartoons that are the problem - it's the fact he loves My Little Pony.
I have nothing personally against MLP, nor it's fanbase, but it's something so fucking cringey to me that I can't shake it. I can't understand why grown men or women would find this show something to obsess over - its jokes are childish, the story lore as deep as a puddle, and the animation is at least, decent.
It is not the fact he likes it or watches it, I wouldn't care, it's just the fact to the extent he likes it. He clops, he has roleplayed as ponies before, hell even spent a good amount of months playing as pony, on Secondlife. Most of his friends is because he was part of the "BRONY COMMUNITY XD" To have such an attachment to a show made for young girls just shows a lot of immaturity on his behalf.
/adv/, I don't want to dump him, but how the fuck do I get over myself on this? Whenever he talks about it or I think about it, just makes me cringe to no end. Makes me wish he didn't like, but I'm not going to be bossy like that.
>>17306834
Clop clop clop, watchin pones drop
>>17306834
Sorry, there is no getting over that.
No amount of LSD/Weed or whatever else will making you not cringe to the fact you're dating a guy who wants to fuck/getfucked by MLP.
Cope.
If you don't want to break it off with him, then just be supportive of the things he likes to do.
If it becomes too much, or he starts prioritising the MLP stuff over you, then just end the relationship.
If there is one thing that people really like, it's being part of a group, and it has probably become an identity thing for him. So, seriously, if you can't just cope with it, you (and him) would be better off with no relationship.
Girl flirted with me hardcore on first few days of class. Got all the notes from previous year. Then "ewww"ed me infront of everyone when I sat right next to her.... how does one move on from this? I'm in my 20s I am not improving either. pic not related ofc. My motivation is zero right now.
>>17306824
Maybe because you say by her all creeper like
>>17306824
Every brown girl I've ever talked to has been a complete bitch.
So your story and the photo would add up in that case.
don't let that bitch leave it like that on you. speak out bro, stand for yourself on how a bitch move she made.
And don't "forgive her", given she apologizes, if ashe even attempts, DO let other people hear you about her bitchyness.
Pretty sure it's gotten tot that point. 3 and a half years and more depressed than I could've ever imagined. I fantasize my demise at all times of the day, no matter the occasion. When I associate comfort with a pistol in my mouth curled up in bed with my covers sheathing my shame and pity.
I have no one to talk to, especially about all the fucked up things I've done hidden away in private. My girlfriend will leave me for sure if she realizes just how hyper-sexual I am and the disgusting things I tell other women. The hospital will do nothing for me and counselors are always at a loss of words (not trying to be edgy). I don't want to live under a facade of happiness with pills.
I hate society. I don't get how people enjoy living their cookie cutter lives. I will never be able to participate in society.
tl;dr - I am having the most intense urges to kill myself and have absolutely no means of quelling these vicious mental attacks.
>>17306805
You sound like a funny guy.
The way you typed that.
Don't do it man
>>17306805
would you like to chat in private? preferably skype?
Call the suicide hotline :^)
My whole life, I've always been made fun of for "being gay" or inexperienced with girls. I have no idea why I always get made fun of for this. I'm straight, I'm NOT gay. But literally since Middle School. I've always been the guy people make fun of. I don't act gay. I don't dress gay. Just people target ME. This shit has followed me from middle school all the way to the workplace as a 26 year old. Literally, I just walked into the office and some of the guys were talking about sex and said "hey anon, have you ever seen a tit before?" I said yeah, they asked what it felt like so I said "like bags of Sand". I TRY to go along with their shit and make jokes (obviously, by quoting a movie). But it just pisses me off this shit has followed me my whole life. Yet
I don't do or say anything to provoke this shit. I mean, I try to avoid conversations about sex because I have very little experience. But I've never told anyone I have little experience. People automatically assume it. And then give me sex advice if they arnt saying gay joke...
I really do try to just play along and show that it doesn't bother me. But after getting this shit for years, from completely different groups of people, it wears on me after a while. I'm not gay. And I don't really care about sex that much. I gave up on it a few years ago.
>bags of sand
Kek, op.
The solution is to obviously date more women, become more sexually experience, etc. If that isn't in your interest, then I don't know why the people poking fun at you are worth giving a damn about.
>>17306801
Pretend you're gay, file a discrimination complaint. You win, they lose, equilibrium is restored.
>>17306801
post a pic of yourself?
i had an extremely similar experience and am curious
Do you guys think it's a good idea to give up fapping? I personally feel more energy and have more motivation to get things done after a few days of not spanking the monkey. On the other hand, when I'm on nofap I feel horny as fuck all the time and it breaks my concentration. I'll be sitting there typing an essay and my dick will be rock solid for hours, to give you an idea of what I mean. It gives me more incentive to speak to females, but at the same time I feel like i could make wrong decisions, such as fucking a girl i normally wouldn't if i wasn't so horny.
I also feel like that after you fap, other people can sense it. For example, my moms attitude changes after I fap even though I do it in private. I feel like some people especially women have this weird ability to sense if you've been jacking off or having sex.
After I fap, sure i feel relaxed. But I don't feel as motivated and my thought-process isn't as clear.
>>17306765
reading threads like this i have to remember to purge it from my mind immediately before its simplicity turns my brain into gay jello like yours
DUDE SEX LMAO
>>17306765
have you considered 'fap balance' as opposed to no fap?
experiment to find out what works best for you. mine is about once a day. others may be every two days, or just twice a week or once a week.
my thought process is that i keep me sexual energy for the full day. if i dont get laid by 9pm, im not going to get laid, so i can fap then. by then i got nothing important to do but relax, so this helps me settle down to sleep and stops me from being TOO horny tomorrow.
by tomorrow you've had at least 8 hours to recharge so ur all good to go.
>>17306765
>I personally feel more energy and have more motivation to get things done after a few days of not spanking the monkey. On the other hand, when I'm on nofap I feel horny as fuck all the time and it breaks my concentration.
Same here.
So here's the story, I grabbed the opportunity to make a few bones and get my hands on cool music gear, but in order to move it I needed a car. I asked my friend for a hand, since he had a car, and I thought he'd be cool with helping me. I was planning on making some cash as well, and thought since he was helping me I'd throw him some a nice chunk of the cut for being a friend. Turns out this guy was accepting fifty percent, and I had to give him a pair of the speakers I wanted in order for him to feel fair. Somehow in my beta-ness I gave into him, but now I'm pissed, and I want the speakers back from this ungrateful shit. I've tried talking to him, sharing my experience of the events that happened and how he wasn't be a friend. He just shrugs quietly.
We got an email from one of the orgs at my school saying we took some stuff that didn't belong to us. He offered to return the speakers to them, though I have another pair of speakers which are probably the ones they want. I told him since he was going to give the speakers back anyway he might as well give them to me since I gave them to him under false pretenses. He says he won't do it. This guy is a total stoner chill bro, but when I call him out for being greedy and untrustworthy he just shrugs and tells me I'm insulting him. This is not the first time I've had to deal with guys like this.
Did I mention I saw him with my ex, less than a month after our break-up. Less than three days after I opened up to this guy about my break-up. He didn't say a thing. Telling me I was jealous.
Anon, I need to save face and stand up for myself. I need those speakers back and I need to show this rich asshole that you can't treat your friends like this. I don't want to fight him, or do anything illegal. I'm just sick of having to meditate on my breath every time I think about it. How do I convince him to return what he hustled me for? How do I stand up for myself and make him feel like the mercenary he really is?
>>17306696
>gave them to him under false pretenses
>behavior intended to deceive others
he sounds kinda shitty but so do you. i dont think you guys are friends at all. just two dudes who know each other.
burn it to the ground and move on.
Once you give someone sonething, it is their belonging.
You don't get to choose what they do with their belongings.
He shrugs because your regretful choice was still yours and you need to deal with that.
You sound like a good guy, but maybe just cut out some of these obviously greedy people from your life.
Any good friend would've just given you a ride without wanting anything in return.
Cheers pal
>>17306696
ITT you are the shitty friend. you realize this, right? have that guy post in this thread so we can give him advice on how to deal with you.
Should I have sex with my bf
He and I have been together for 9 months we've messed around. A bit but never. Did the do
Today feels kinda right but then i wanted to wait untill we made a year which is in 2months but he's a virgin and I want it to be special to him what should I do
>>17306660
If you want to have sex, have sex. There's literally nothing special about the first time. It hurts for the girl, the guy cums too fast, losing your virginity is fucking overrated.
Having a good sex life is fuckin' tits though. The first time shouldn't be special because it's the first time, every time should be special because it's with you. Just remember, protection and safe words and all that jazz.
Why the long wait, I guess your not a virgin.?
I'm not a virgin but he is
I pretty much spend my time looking after my family because most of them are retarded. I say most, not all. My mother has cancer and is bipolar and an alcoholic because of those things, so she isn't retarded she needs actual help. She also keeps inviting this guy to live with her who treats her like shit, she does this because she's lonely. He got arrested a couple times, once for being aggressive and the other cause he beat my mum up, while she was going through chemotherapy. He's a cunt and he's not meant to go near her by law but I literally cannot stop her, she'll invite him over regularly out of lonelines and cause she feels she depends on his company, all in secret ofcourse. She think's I'm stupid but it's obvious.
My brother is autistic and a pain the fucking ass who lives with me and wont look after himself. Emphesis on wont, not cant. He keeps saying he'll move out but he really wont, he sits on the sofa all day after quitting his job last year because he couldn't cope with it and smokes weed and drops all litter around him. The sofa looks like a landfill site, im not exaggerating. We inherited money from our dad after he died of cancer last January. 2 seperate payments of 10k each to me, my brother and sister. The payments were about 5 months apart, my brother spent all of the first payment before the second payment came in and we got the second payment about 4 months ago, he's nearly spent that now too. So he spent £20k in about less than half a year on vacations, weed and junk and take out food because he wont cook. I used to cook for him but I'm just fed up of it now because he wont pitch in or help clean up so I was pretty much feeding him like a parent.
Then theres my uncle who is a big baby and has been slowly starving himself because he refuses to eat anything out of sheer laziness because my nan spoiled him rotten, he lived at home with her up until she died and now he lives in a small apartment in the rough part of town and is pretty much slowly wasting away, all because he wont eat anything other than my nans cooking. He's not retarded or anything just a stubborn baby. The other day he asked if I'd come stay with him over the weekend and feed him because he keeps blacking out and fainting from not eating and badly injuring himself from the falls. He makes up all these excuses but it's literally all down to the fact he just wont cook. He asks to stay at my place sometimes and I let him, one time I cooked him bread dipped in beaten egg then fried, a very high calorie meal and he ate most of that, then later in the evening my brother got a KFC and my uncle ate some of that too. So it's literally just that he wont feed himself.
And lastly my grandad who I visit to keep company, he's good he doesn't do anything wrong but I think he gets real lonely now my nan is dead. He threw my uncle out not long after she died because my uncle would try to steal money and just smoked weed in his room all day so nobody blames him and everyone saw it coming. He gets on mostly just fine by himself, he needs help paying his bills (as in he needs me to do it for him, he doesn't know how. He pays, I just do it for him.) and making phonecalls is difficult for him as he has a thick irish accent and gets frustrated when people cant understand him. His social skills are a little crap but he's a good man, he gets on just fine but I feel so badly for him being lonely.
Another thing, just for some more context, as I said my dad died of cancer January 2015, just under a year after my nan died of cancer. She was my maternal nan and was the 'head' of our whole family pretty much. She helped with everyone and everything, but after my mum had a terrible bi-polar episode in 2012 I think it just got too much for her. My dad came round and told me and my brother he had cancer the day after my nan's funeral. We were all blindly optimistic that he'd recover because he was younger and we found it earlier than my nan did. But that wasn't the case. Losing them both has been horrificly painful.
So now I'm here, stuck jobless on welfare, trying to sort my own life out while dealing with the personal aftermath of the deaths in my family. I'm not over it, and I don't think I ever will be, but I believe im at a point now where I can move on and get on with life. The only thing holding me back is everything I pointed out about the rest of my family. I'm the only sensible one left and the rest are helpless on their own. My sister is of the same mindset as me and probably the only other sensible one but she lives a good 2-3 hour drive away and has a family of her own to look out for. I struggle dealing with it all and whats worse is when I have nobody to turn to when things get tough. It's literally just me, on my own, dealing with all what you read above.
I just want my own life.
>>17306641
Hang in there, OP.
If it's really about your mom, get your own place and have her stay with you. If she doesn't want to because of the abuser, then what can you really do, ya know? (aside from waiting until you know he is around and calling the cops)
If your brother had access to his funds, then he is clearly not incompetent, just a lazy fuck. Having your own place will rid you of that lifestyle.

Am i just a lazy fuck? How much time do relationships take?
>>17306591
>How much time do relationships take?
you can study and have a relationship. you can just tell your partner, or potential partner that you're busy studying so you cant talk to them oor see them atm. its easy to balance both. as a girl, you can easily get into a relationship.
>>17306591
>>don't want relationship, because it'll stress me out and i won't study
Only a shit relationship will, though to be fair it's not easy to avoid that
What are you studying? I think with a certain personality type you inevitably end up wasting time, I don't think it really makes a difference what it is you're wasting time on. At least, it usually happens to me.
Developing a schedule and some restraint would be the best place to start with. We've all seen those pictures where you have to choose between sufficient sleep, good grades, and a social life but I'm pretty sure they were made by people who just make it up as they go along.
I've never felt like I shouldnt date a woman because of college, and no one reasonable will make a stink of you taking some time off to focus on finals and midterms when they come up. Studying and relationships are hardly mutually exclusive.
Aynone have experience with your SO having a child with someone else? During or before the relationship or during a breakup? How does it work? Are you involved in the child's life?
No, because I'm not a cuck. Good luck taking your wife's son to school, lmao.

>>17306587
Actually I am woman. I just think that I'd be the third wheel when the baby comes. Of course the baby momma would be the most important woman to my bf, and the child would be the most important person.
I'm obsessing over a girl who most probably doesn't like me back. How do I find flaws in her? I can't find any and I'm thinking about her constantly to the point where I'm leaving my daily responsibilities unattended.
>>17306577
Think of her pooping and farting. She's probably had awful diarrhea before. Think of her laughing in an ugly way. ETC
>>17306577
You need to go ahead and see if she does or not. Your obsessed because if you don't tell her you know there is always a chance she'll love you and you'll never have to worry about rejection. Get it over with man, you'll start pulling bitches on the regular once you get that big rejection over with.
>>17306580
That's actually good advice I think. Her laugh is always really cute but the other part makes sense.
>>17306593
Well I did ask her out. She said she's "busy" but made it look a bit like she was bothered that she's busy. I had asked her out previously for something more casual and also said she was busy but showed some interest in doing it some other time. So the fact that I don't have a clear way to know if she's a bit into me or not at all is killing me. Besides the fact that she may be legit busy.
I've had a few crushes in the past, but not as crazy as this one. I remember that once when I got a clear straight rejection I got over it soon. I don't know if this would work in my current case.
I'm a kissless virgin, im not a robot or anything since I have freinds and go out often,
I'm going away to college for the first time in the fall and I'm terrified that if I kiss a girl she's gonna know it's my first time and she'll think I'm a loser
>How do I deal with this feel
>>17306560
Are you 18? Stop worrying about it, there are way more virgins your age than you think, it's not a big deal at all. I lost it at 19 and have a completely normal sex/dating life now at 23. Just don't get with a girl who's a bitch.
>>17306572
I'm talking about kissing, I'm well aware that there are a lot of virgins but idk about kissless ones
>>17306575
Just do it with someone who's drunk and not directly in your social circle. Kissing isn't rocket science. Just take it slow, don't jam your tongue in her throat or deep in her mouth, don't be sloppy or too eager too soon.
