I was the victim of a hit and run a few months ago. Lucky for me I got the guy's plate number and, long story short, he was arrested and we are going to court in September. His public defender has been trying to contact me lately to try and reach a civil compromise (i.e. an amount he pays me to agree to drop the suit) because the guy pleaded not guilty.
In my state he'll face up to a year in jail, over $6000 in fines and the revocation of his license when they find him guilty in september. I'd frankly rather not have to go to court, and I think paying...

Your initial offer should be way higher than what you actually expect to recieve just so that they will try and haggle down and you can end up getting more than you originally intended

>Is $5000 a ridiculous number to ask for, if only just to get negotiations started?
Having a judgment against someone for $5000 is not a guarantee for payment. If you do go for a settlement make sure its a lump sum, not some monthly payment bullshit.
He could just as easily agree to pay you, make a down payment to get you off his back and skip town.
You should really have a lawyer help you work through this process so you don't get unwittingly fucked by...

Hey /adv/ I have absolutely no idea what I'm doing with plants as I have never owned one before. I recently received a moon cactus that's in a pot from home depot. How the fuck do I care for this thing? When do I water it?
>>17370074
Put it in a pot about three times the size of that one with a 50/50 mix of soil and sand, put it in the hottest, sunniest place you can find, and give it a good soak once every three months - that's more than you would with a "regular" cactus, but it needs that little bit extra to keep the colour in the graft.

They have plant generals that are very good as far as i know.
How do I get over the fact that my girlfriend is actually a lesbian?

Fuck a bunch of women, then be single for a while, become your own person, and only then, start again.

You just had too much to offer her. Suck it up, pansy.

What kind of secret deals did he have with customers?
I don't understand. Were ladies getting free sno cones in exchange for sucking his dick?
>>17370004
An old manager fucked shit up and now they're looking to you to fix it.
If its not worth the trouble, leave.
If you feel like you could gain something from this and want to follow through and complete the task then quit bitching about how hard it is and do the job.
Every job you work is going to have its own unique shitty-ness to it. Get used to it. Don't expect anyone in any job situation to praise you and be grateful to you for doing more work than is required.

Quit making them
I'm a frustrated animator, the new generation of animators fucks me in all ways. I just don't know what to do now. I'm 25, no job and unmotivated.
How do I find a way to continue with my life?
get a real job
>>17370102
it is a real job you idiot
Stop pigeonholing yourself and try a different job for awhile. See if you really love animation and want to spend your life doing it, or if you just convinced yourself it was your dream and felt obligated to see it through.
Hey, i know there are milions of threads like this every day.
And that's why I will appreciate every reply.
I cannot get over one girl. Let's name her M. We weren't even together, we were just dating. I had 19 y/o then, she had 15 (legal in my country). And well, these 6 months were best of my life, l felt like the king of the world and everything.
I'm a person who wasn't a jealous - she wants to go with a male friend, go for it and shit. One time she was writing to me while she was metting him. Messages like "I wish I were with you"...

Well premature post.
I would like to get an advice - should I even try to get her back (she's 2 years with that guy) or wait for them to split up?
Or how do I get over her?
Because I have no idea.
>>17369996
Neither, move the fuck on and find someone else man. There are 3.5 BILLION women in the world, odds are there is a much better girl out there that won't ditch you for some other guy
>>17370019
Tried to, for 2 years I've been looking for someone for longer. Well I so far I didn't find the girl like her - in a meaning of the feeling alone. Every girl just feels like she's lacking something
Should I join the Navy or should I work at a call center and try to move up the IT pipeline?
Yes.
>>17369982
is that really how spiderman 1 looked like? cause it really looks old compared to todays standards^^ is it some picture without proper editing?
Join the Navy if you:
A) Want to become fat and lazy
B) Be gay
C) End up getting married to some fat women and having a kid
good friends with a lesbian couple, one of them offered me the other's nudes, she's hot as fuck. am I gay or just a decent guy
Both.
>>17369927
>am I gay or just a decent guy
Fuck can I tell? You miserable faggot-- you're not gay, you're triple gay raised to the nigger divided by zero.
You're implying you declined nudes of a lesbro's fuck toy.
Here you are, enjoying your sanity when you could be tormented and taxed by the drama of an XX + XX relationshit going straight to hell .
Stay away from lesbos man. They're fucking weird and crazy and half of them are only pretending to be gay to piss off their parents.
Can a doctor tell when you actually properly start your anti-depressants?
This is just out of curiousity?
Because i plan on starting today, but I was advised by last week.
a doctor isn't supposed to actually be able to detect a difference in you. they're supposed to know you're feeling better based on the feedback you give them.
I wouldn't lie to your doctor. That makes the doctor unable to help, and leaves you without proper care.

>taking benzos

Oh boy, get ready to have your shit fucked up, senpai
I know this might sound stupid but I am absolutely against antidepressants, I've seen several of my close friends fall for that shit and end up more fucked up than they were before
No matter how depressed you are, you have to come out of it with your own power, it strengthens your mind and soul, benzos will just give you false happiness, which will seriously fuck...

No bullshit I thinj pkm go is the invention made so that autistic fucks like us leave their man caves.
Try it up and if you get hooked you will end up ealking half your town every ficking day hunting the slimy fucks.
Also try small steps into motivating your ass. Today make your bed as you leave it to go to the oc. Tommorow make your self a meal. Next day do some chores in the house without anyone asking.
Try normie shit for motivation.
If depression is that fucking bad go to a therapist. Its better to start working on it early than ending up so depressed...

Why do I always feel like awkward and uncomfortable when hanging around with female acquaintances who have boyfriends?
I've hung out with some acquaintances at times, not finding out that they have boyfriends until later on and even the ones I just talk to and not hang out with, I feel really uncomfortable and shitty around them and I hate this feeling. I have nothing against them, but I just get this really bad and unshakeable feeling.
You probably feel like you might cross a line and that makes you uncomfortable
>>17369838
Yeah, I do agree with this. Idk, I've never had a gf and I do feel jealousy at times seeing couples/hearing about this stuff. So maybe that plays into it.
But as you said I don't want to be too comfortable with them or be "good friends" or more than acquaintances.
Like if people saw me with a female acquaintance, people would think we were dating and though if things were different then I'd like that, but since it's not like that its feels awkward. I've had a case where a female acquaintance fed me and I was not comfortable with that at all, more so she has a boyfriend and I don't feel comfortable doing that in just a "friend like" stage. Whereas maybe other people would like it, but It just makes me feel shitty.

What college major do I choose to waste my money the least?
inb4 "college is a waste"
inb4 "do what you love" I've fallen for that meme before
I'm thinking business major?
I am not going to say uni is a waste.
I did it and i don't regret at thing. In fact i am going back for a Masters.
But don't bother if there isn't anything you actually want to study or you at least want to learn in general. Or less you will get nothing out of it.
>>17369892
>But don't bother if there isn't anything you actually want to study or you at least want to learn in general. Or less you will get nothing out of it.
Plus you'll probably do really poorly. You know lack of motivation and all...
That being said. A Business major can be pretty versatile, especially depending on which kind you get, but they're generally all pretty decent for getting a job in almost any industry.
If you are just starting college...

To waste your money the least, go to CC, do two years there while you figure out what you really want to do.
Every major has its pitfalls; your business degree can get you anywhere from HR executive at a Fortune 500, or a shift manager at the local Target.
STEM degrees aren't the be-all end-all they're made out to be either. If you want to make bank in STEM, you're going to have to have some serious maths skills, and a decent work ethic to pursue what limited jobs there are.
Honestly, trade schools for STEM fields aren't that bad. Machinists...

Are you depressed?
>>17369795
I have no idea if I am or not.
I'm not happy but depression has to be horrible right.
>>17369804
You don't have to have major depression to be depressed. Don't know if this helps but I've had periods of time where I'm not as hungry as I usually am. You might just come out of it soon but, to be honest, I'm no expert. If you can maybe get a check up and talk to a doctor about it.
Hope you get it sorted out.
