I want to play Pokemon go but I don't have a standard username I can use. I had one many years ago but nowadays that's taken everywhere and I never got a new one.
How can I come up with a username?
I'm extremely bad at coming up with usernames.
>>17361802
Are you 12?
Just make something up ffs. You won't get famous or special powers from a unique user name.
>>17361803
I'm more than twice that age.
Make what up? I can't just make something up, that's how bad I am at this.
Is it possible to run away to a big city with nothing and become a huge rapper? Yes right?
Possible but highly unlikely. Too many people trying to be famous. None of them have an original bone in their body. I doubt you'd be any different.
Anythings possible. Just as possible as you being struck by lightning.
>>17361749
What if I just rap 24/7 until I stop sucking??
>>17361833
>struck by lighting
So I'll just go to Miami and hold a metal pole
How do I get over my irrational hatred of white people?
I can't even see them as human anymore. Most whites I've met seem nice at first, but every time we get close enough to let our guards down they turn out to be racists full of deep rooted rancor against every one who isn't white.
I've known a lot of angry people of color, you know, the kind who would start a fight because you looked at them funny? But that type of angry is reactionary, primitive, and gone as quickly as it came on.
What bothers me about whites is that they seem to...

Simple, shoot yourself. That'll be one less nigger to complain about
How can I destroy the world, and rebuild it?
Imagine teaching an alien species about human nature, through questions.

Make enough money so that you can sabteuge countries economies and then dictate what they can do when you own their banks and politicians. If you want a guide, Google George Soros

So about a year ago I started talking to this girl. Really cute, shy and great figure. We never dated, just talked a lot and went on ""dates"" with groups of friends. Everyone knew she had a thing for me, but I ignored her feelings for the most part and only expressed affection when I felt it was necessary to keep her from getting emotional (she went into an hour long crying fit after I told one of her friends I wasn't interested in dating her and she found out) or because I wanted to keep her infatuated with me. She really just wasn't my type and...

Anywhore, a week later she texts me on a friends phone, and sned me a 4 paragraph sob story on how she's sorry and can't live without me blah blah blah. I skimmed it and told her I didn't care.
A month (or two?) later I get another text (from what I presume is her new phone number) and she texts me again saying how she misses me and asks if I had any feelings for her and if she hurt me. I answer honestly and say "No and no. Quit bothering me. You're blocked." I blocked her number.
Skip forward another few months and I'm basically...

You two weren't exclusive and you're calling her a whore? Grow up.
Wtf did you think happened op? Either she was trying to make you jealous or was seeking affection you weren't offering up. If you hear more whoreyness from her after your bro hit you up, you're right in what you're doing. Otherwise, you are being a dick not even giving her a chance to be a good person. Whether you become friends again after the latter situation is established is up to you, but ya might as well accept the fact that she made a mistake. If she was a whore even after, you're right op.
Look my friend is dating my ex and I really feel insecure because she is a lot prettier than me. I was wondering if you could be honest and tell me if she is?
I don't buy the context, but I'll give an opinion anyway.
I want to know what pic related means.
I translated it to English: where you can not love do not delay.
But I still don't understand, someone explain- thanks!
Honestly Spanish is my native language and I don't really get the idea of what it says. "Donde" could be translated as "where" or "in a situation in which.." But Idk why it says "no te demores" which means "don't be long" or "don't take too long" From what I understand it means that in a place where you can't love you shouldn't stay too long
>>17361611
Apparently it's a famous quote by Frida Khalo. Funny, I had no idea. Ty for making me expand my knowledge OP
>>17361625
Okay thank you but this explanation is not that satisfying.
Someone give me a better explanation.
What would you do if you unintentionally got your girlfriend pregnant? How would you handle that situation? What if there was the potential she could get pregnant, what would you do?
>>17361599
Pic related?
>>17361599
So the details matter in this scenario.
A few details come to mind right away:
>Why did she "accidentally" get pregnant?
Was she on birth control? Were you wearing a condom?
I see you used the phrasing "You got your girlfriend pregnant," which indicates it's your fault. Is it actually your fault or is that just you subscribing to that feminazi bullshit that it's always the man's fault?
>What if there...

No. It's not me.
All right I feel like I've got a problem with this. Everytime I get into contact with a girl, they eventually stop communicating/texting me after some time. I even have made it to a first date, but it never goes anywhere. Like right now, I feel like complete shit because of it.

Don't pressure her and don't feel needy. Do not think, "Oh no, she doesn't like me." It comes out in your behaviour.
Just let it sit, if you asked her out, if there was a real connection she'll get back to you. If she doesn't try again in a week then drop it if she doesn't reply.
Work on feeling good about yourself, by yourself, in your own skin and not needing people to validate your ego. You will seem more attractive to girls.
>>17361602
I really need help getting over this "feeling needy" thing. I'm not delusional about it in that I know I'm needy, but I'm trying my best to hide it. Like I'm 20 and have went to a community college for two years and the dating pool is extremely shallow around where I live. So its pretty rare for me to find someone I like.
Maybe I should just give up and wait the one and a half months before I go to a real university.
>>17361615
No, just think about what your best qualities are, and work on improving them. Work on being your best self in general. It will lead to increased confidence and come out in your behaviour. Try to establish a good support base, with your family, or with friends, or whoever you live with. Encourage good relationships in general. That'll make you feel more sure of yourself. If you don't have good friends, try talking to people casually until you find people you connect with, you'll feel more outgoing....

Dating-wise I seem to attract or be most interested in mentally ill people; which is probably because I'm depressed myself; but I feel like being with someone more stable than myself would be healthier?
I like this girl; but she's REALLY into me, and I think breaking it off would hurt her feelings; and I don't want to break it off, I just feel unsure I guess
Tl;dr new girlfriend went to a mental hospital and I'm sad and want to vent
>>17361601
get the fuck out. You don't sound like a normie but you also don't need this shit in your life. Trust me I've been there, sort it out now dude.
>>17361605
You think so?
I've never been close or dated anyone who was bipolar like her but she usually has a really great handle on it; and she's a much better adult than I, self-sufficient, great professional job, etc
I've considered trying to end it a lot, but I don't want to just "get scared" because of a temporary thing.
What was your situation like anon?
I'll greentext my realization of this:
>me and white friend walking around my neighborhood
>black friend walks up and gives me dap
>"sup senpai"
>"whassup mane"
>walking away from said black friend
>white friend: "what the fuck was that"

A lot of people do. I don't like it whatsoever, nor do I like being slave to automatic reactions and intonation, so I worked on stripping that tendency when I was 18 or so. It is now only conscious, and rarely used.
I came in this thread expecting something different though. I do unintentionally take up and mimic people's speech patterns, and if I try, I can practically mimick their voice itself. Lisps are especially catchy, and I'm good at faking them. Listening to a lot of Modest Mouse puts in this zone. Never bothered to get rid of that tendency, but as I think about it, it's fading as well.
I think it's a habit the adolescent brain is biased towards on a hardware level in a good deal of people, and it's readily developed. If you don't like it, draw it into your conscious mind, and counteract it. Eventually strip it outright. No more yeah dude man etc, and feeling like an empty facade. Just the comfortable feeling of wilful and deliberate manners of self expression that may be crafted as you choose.
(my father did this as well)
I just went on a date for the first time since high school and I want to know how I did and what my chances for a second one might be. I really like this girl.
Here is recap
>meet up with her
>she gives me a hug, super happy to see me
>tell her she looks better in person, she thinks i'm good looking, walk to the mall to get food
>she's playing fucking pokemon go the whole time
>make small talk about a bunch...

This was totally not a date. Are you fucking kidding? She was playing Pokemon the entire time. You were just side entertainment.
>>17361610
To be fair so was I.
We did talk most of the time but she had pokemon open on her phone and we'd go around walking looking for them.
>>17361617
An hr of walking around ain't a date anon.
My skin is super fucking dry and has been for a while.
I've tried every trick in the book; at best nothing changes, at worst it fucks my skin up more.
I just shaved this off my face. No pain, no cuts, no bleeding. Just dead skin that I can rip off like old wallpaper ad infinitum.
My dandruff is embarrassingly bad, to the point that I cant sit at a computer with any part of my head over the keyboard or my snow avalanche will actually jam up the keyboard. Having shoes on for more than 4 hours results in peeling that would send most people to the hospital,...

Looks pretty fucking crazy from that picture you just showed. Is there seriously no Dermatologists that have been able to help you out at all?
Hello /adv/. The last year and a half has really taught me how unusual my upbringing was, and I'm having a hard time fitting in to normal society. I grew up in a commune, and only really got a full dose of the outside world since moving to college, and frankly it's weird and scary.
How do I learn to be more normal, or at least learn to better relate to normal people? I'm tempted to drop out and go back to where I came from. I just have so much difficulty relating to people here.
Bumping once before bed.
>>17361515
What was it like on a commune?
show interest in other people and their lives. ask them questions. share some of the differences you have in your upbringing.
My wife and I are in between places and her mother offered to hold my wife's dog for a month or two, while we got a more stable situation. After a few weeks my mother in law got a hair up her ass( shes bipolar, skitzo, and a bad person) and sold my wife's dog. My wife tried calling her and asking, but her mother was too busy screaming about aliens and shit. We called the police, but they were of no help and told us to go to small claims court. What do I do? Pic related, its a picture of the doggo
>>17361472
Let that dog enjoy its new home and get a real dog.
>>17361472
Do you know how she sold it?
There's really nothing that can be done. She's crazy, after all. I'd try to find out who she sold the pet to and explain the situation to them. Get the money from your crazy mother in law and give them their money back
