>dfw poverty in pretty much all categories
I know it's generalizing, but this chart really does capture just what makes the poor stay poor and what makes the rich stay rich.
How do I shed my peasant thinking and ensure I'm not destined to stay poor?
>>17272823
Read books you stupid poorfag, they're free. Also chart is shit.
>tfw good with money from young age despite being born peasant class
>tfw going to be FI'er and never want for anything
>tfw already money just seems attracted to me, money pours in from everywhere just by my existing
Feels good.
Whoa. Are there any economic demographics that WOULDN'T find this chart horribly offensive? Good God; it's got something for everyone, it does.
And very little, if anything, that has any truth to it. There ARE things the rich, the poor, and the middle class can learn from one another: things they often vehemently resist learning due to their own prejudices. But the chart is far more about those prejudices, from all sides, than it is about reality.

3 options really.
>educations
>sports
>inheritance/lottery
You either get inheritance and win lottery, which statistics show most people blow it all really quick. Athletics, which if you're one of the 1% will be well paid and gain social status. 50/50 gamble on athletes that sustain their wealth. Or education, the one where you must work the hardest and earn everything you have. You might lose your possessions...

Learn norwegian instead.

So my anxiety is at the worst it's been in quite a while, of course, it's been "triggered" (I fucking hate that word) by overthinking things with girls, again (which always leads to this downward of "what's wrong with me? Why can't I think about this normally? Etc.etc.etc)
I'm getting tired of this. I'm tired of getting crazy attached to girl the second they show a glimmer of interest in me. I'm tired of not being able to meet new people because I'm too scared to even approach them. I'm tired of my friends pushing...

you're not overthinking anything, you're a stupid, hateful piece of shit. quit blaming your problems on anxiety and overthinking and just stop being such a piece of trash.

Don't put pussy on a pedestal and learn to not care.
The first thing can be achieved by reading horror stories about relationships, learning about the subconscious that drives women [spoiler]and men alike[/spoiler] and eventually you will stop putting pussy on a pedestal.
The second one isn't so easy, you just need to learn to just not care about what people think about you at all and do your own thing.

Make the duration on your last job longer and say it took you a while to get it. Unlikely they'll check the dates.

i stretched in into january of 2016. guess that might work. i was just worried of how extensive these background checks are.

Just say you tried to find work and can't get it because of bad market.

Defecate yourself
Does anyone here go out by themselves? I'm in a situation currently where I don't really have friends who can/want to go out for the night, and I never do but I'm back in the city and want to start trying.
If my glaring lack of confidence wasn't apparent, yeah I'm not good at this type of stuff. Specifically, I'm self conscious about being such a big loser I have to go to a club or bar solo, and I'm sure I look like a fuckboi stooge just sitting at the bar by my loansome. Also, having social anxiety coupled with depression, maybe bars aren't...

Yes, people do things by themselves.
But i can't help you since i am probably more socially retarded than you.
I do go out by myself and the thing is that you can meet new people that way and be an idiot without risking your reputation too much.
Dude (or gal) I do every fucking thing by myself. If I was afraid of going out alone I'd never leave my house. This includes: going to restaurants, movies, shows, walks, hikes, etc. pretty much everything. I'm one of those weirdos who will sit in a bar for hours, reading a book and not talking to anyone.
Don't let being alone stop you from getting out. Who knows, you might get lucky and meet a new friend out somewhere.
alright adv, I'm trying to guys out. Teenagers gtfo
So I'm (24) working construction right now and making decent money, but years of the hikki life is getting to me and I feel like I'd much rather transition it into a part time job and better myself in the meantime.
My ambition is to return to college and finish my >humanities major after a year. I'm in no debt, and know damn well that a summer of laboring isn't going to give me more than $4k in monies anyways- practically a throwaway in higher education. I figure hell, why not pick...

the irony of this is astounding but ill take your psot as seriously as i can.
by which i mean, you are taking it a bit too seriously. either option is fine. neither option is perfect. thats just life. its all random arbitrary choices based on whatever feels better for that moment. neither cancels your long term plans so do what you want.

1. Go to your bank and get a preapproval. This will be a requirement for most/all real estate agents.
2. Find an Agent. Most banks will connect you with one who they network with.
3. Agent will hold your baby hand from there.
>>17272358
go online and look for real estate agents in your area. tell them what you are looking for and price range and let it happen. if you see any listings in papers, craigslist, etc. go to em.

How to know if a girls feelings for you are genuine and she's not with you for the utility you provide
>>17272281
>how do you know if a girls feelings for you are genuine
you dont really. you can hope that something tragic happens and its put to the test but its hard to know how much what you provides can outweigh. we dont know what utility you speak of so its hard to gauge in general.
ultimately it doesnt much matter. people act like theres only true love, and using people. its not always the case. people often fall in love with their rapist because of a hormone released during...

people like to think that their love is special, that they just happened to be living in the same fucking town as the one person in the world who could understand and love them.
then they think ths ame thing for their next date, and the next one and the next one.
all boys love their moms, all girls love their dads, all people love their partner and think its the OTP, the destiny.
consider the following: if you actually had her develop genuine feelings and not JUST using you, that may be more...

You were so worried about saying the perfect thing you clammed up instead of just talking.
>>17272241
The best advice I can give you is if you get called in for a job, they basically like you from a qualifications standpoint. They just want to get to meet you, talk a bit. See if there is anything major wrong with you in person. See if there is good chemistry between someone who will presumably be your supervisor. They say there is no right or wrong answer for an interview question.

Hey /adv/, what hardware do I need to upgrade on my PC to prevent crashing from the number of mods on Skyrim and KSP?
>>17272225
its hard to say cuz we dont know what you got.
generally speaking you need the 'minimum requirements' that every game will tell you to have. with great mods come great PC power, so take those minimum requirements and go two steps higher.

How do I start all over making friends and meeting people? Like, completely from scratch. It's easy to meet people through your current friends, but I will literally be starting from nothing
Considering how your picture is that of Goku and Naruto, I'd suggest reading up on Gunsmith Cats, and going to Mitsuwa and the local convention.
That would be a good start.

I have a job interview tomorrow, I been practicing and reading up on the company and watching YouTube videos on what to do and what is really terrible to do.
ITT: Share your job interviews experiences, details that might help people that are currently looking for a job and might be going to an interview in the somewhat near future or near future.
Are there any older and more experienced people out there that have some solid advice?
Position: Kindergarten teacher
>>17272135
Be familiar with, and able to discuss without looking at, your resume and your interest in the job. Consider visiting the job before the interview and seeing what they dress like--dress as if you already belong there. Smile and maintain eye contact. Think of a few questions to ask that will show that you're both interested in the job and the right person for the position. I hope that these help! GL!
Just be cool dude.
>>17272135
I'd google stuff for teaching interviews. They probably have more applicable and realistic questions and scenarios that have happened.
As for me personally. I've been asked stuff like
>tell me about yourself
>why should we hire you
>where do you see yourself in 5 years
>what is your biggest weakness
typical questions. then some curveballs likes.

i want to learn to hack, ddos, and doxx
but i have no one to get advice from.
Install gentoo :^)
>>17272114
take programming classes. hacking is literally finding flaws in the programming and exploiting them.
If you're over 13 years old and haven't started learning yet, give up. At best you can be a script kiddie.
Everyone seems to have a different definition of hacking but at its core, I think "hacking" has a lot to do with finding the answers yourself. Besides, this question has been asked millions of times. I'm sure you'll find someone good online through searching.
Learn how computers work, how the internet works, etc. Learn a programming language.
