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 hold ancestral grudges and see the whole world through a lens of hate 24/7. Knowing about this behavior unfortunately leads me to hate them right back, but hating them back is just throwing fuel into the fire.

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 I didn't feel like we were really made to be. We were still in school, and I was a lot more interested in my schoolwork then having to dedicate time to a girl.
Anyways, we ended up talking for a while and I gradually warmed up to her. I didn't have any serious feelings for her, and I think she might have known that, but I was open to giving us a chance.
So I promised to take her somewhere, just us, on a ""date"". Friday, we'd go somewhere to eat and the movies or something. I wasn't so into doing shit in public and preferred hiking or mountain biking - something in nature or where I could be athletic. She wasn't into sports or very athletic, just the skinny band geek. She knew, and I knew, that this didn't mean we were dating. I guess, looking back on it, I probably could have been more enthusiastic about it as she was really bubbly for the week, more so than usual - and her friends made sure I got an earful of it.
Thursday rolls around and a bro tells me his bro was getting some serious inboxes from this girl. Turned out to be true. I shot off a quick text to her calling her a whore and told her never to contact me again. I blocked her number and that was the end of it. I wanted nothing to do with her. She tried getting some of my bros to talk to me, but they're my bros, so they told her there was no chance I'd listen, like true bros. I really wasn't too concerned with it, and was more focused on my finals.
(contd)
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 forced to set up a Facebook account if I want to keep in contact with friends and sign up for sports leagues. She finds me eventually and tries her hand at it again, literally begging me to respond. I tell her to leave me alone. She privated messaged me on my birthday to wish me a happy one. She messaged me on Christmas to wish me a Merry Christmas.She tried getting me to talk to her again. I ignored all her messages. She tried getting a couple of my friends to get her in contact with me. She tried getting my new number. She knew my schedule all too well. I really don't think about her at all, and have never felt regret over abandoning her. She's tried tagging along with groups of mutual friends (who also include girls I've had to give the ignoring treatment) events which I abandoned when I found out she was coming along.
But lo and fucking behold, this bitch is haunting me in my dreams. I dream about her at least once a week now, and this has been going on for like a month now. Maybe I subconciously want her? I dunno. It's happened recently, and I haven't heard from her in a couple of months.
What do? How do I purge her from my dreams. It actually sucks because I wake up disappointed having a dream about being in love with a qt, only to remember she's a whore. Only makes my grip on reality slip a little bit more into the 2D realm.
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 was the potential she could get pregnant, what would you do?
When you ejaculate into a vagina, you are taking the risk that she might get pregnant.
When she let you ejaculate into her vagina, she willingly ran the risk that she might get pregnant.
As for what I would do, that depends. DO I want a baby (the answer right now is no).
So then it becomes - Is she one of those retarded women who wants to keep babies no matter what, even if it means it'll ruin everyone's life and trample over the man's wishes for his own life? Then I would probably start manipulating her into getting an abortion.
If she had a clear head and i thought I could trust her, I would sit her down and have a clear and frank discussion about how I don't want it, if she has it then it's against my wishes, and if she chooses to have it against my wishes I will be the biggest asshole about it.... forever. Which is the truth....
>>17361603
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.
>last week
>have coffee date with this girl
>we seem to hit it off just fine
>we were talking for hours and not a bit of it felt awkward
>eventually say good bye (though I couldn't kiss her cause I completely suck and don't know how to go forward)
>text her I had fun and shit
>she agreed
>I try to plan a second date where I can actually man up this time.
>but now I'm completely ignored
Did I fuck up? I'm really at a loss here on what I did. I know I was a bit sparse on details, but I didn't want to write a long post about it just to get to the point.
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. I'm just spewing truisms but it's all applicable to you. Good luck. Good job on getting into a real university. I can confirm that as long as you're serious about your study and don't neglect it you're in for a good time. Interesting people everywhere, it's a very special unique environment. Don't miss out on your youth by not talking to anyone.
>tfw reconnect with an online friend
>we hit it off well and she wants to date me
>before we get to meetup she has a manic episode and decides we're already girlfriends
>I'm pretty into her so I'm fine with this
>we finally get to see each other irl and it's pretty great
>she checks herself into a mental hospital a couple days later because she's having suicidal thoughts
Im trying to decide if I want to try and turn my feelings off or what; it looks like I'm just gonna end up getting hurt or something but I just feel very confused and sad that I can't talk to her at all for at least 3 days
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"
>"what"
>"you just turned wigger out of nowhere"
>"I did?"
After that I payed closer attention to my speech patterns, and I do change my accent and vocabulary based on who I'm around, and I don't know why.
If I'm talking to myself, I have a generic, slightly mumbled voice, but when I'm with my black friends I use ebonics, and with my redneck family I have a drawl, and I didn't even realize it.
I've tried to avoid doing it since I realized I do it, but I don't seem to be able to. It's like knee jerk.
I think it has to do with me being pretty socially impared but I'm not sure.
Does this have a name? Like could this be a symptom of something?
>>17361590
Lmao why does it say sempai? I typed senpai
>>17361593
Lmfao *f a m
>>17361590
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 of stuff, make her laugh, says she likes me, we actually have a lot in common she's pretty cool
>her mom (we're 18) apparently decides she's going to pick her up right when she gets off work to buy her a car from craigslist so date only lasts an hour or so
>we chill in park area for a little bit, just stand around kinda awkwardly not knowing what to say while she plays pokemon until I ask if we can sit down
>she asks why I'm so nervous and says she's just like any other person etc., tell her "I haven't really done this in a while I'm just kinda naturally shy" and says she thinks it's cute
>she gets really close to me and I don't know what to do so awkwardly put my arm around her and try that shitty pickup line about how her eyes are blue like the ocean and I'm lost at sea, makes her laugh but you can tell she thinks it's corny, puts her head on my chest
>her mom comes. girl hugs me and tries to kiss me on the cheek but I catch her by surprise and kiss her on the lips instead, she seems surprised but amused (probably because it's the one slightly alpha thing I've done the whole time), that was my first kiss from a non-drunk girl
>wave goodbye, tell her we should do this again sometime, she says "yeah" but not sure if serious
>go home and cry on the bus because I'm a beta retard and realize I wasted $15 on a pack of condoms I'll never use
tl;dr didn't get laid but wasn't a total disaster
What are the chances of a second date you guys think?
Here's another thread with background on situation >>>/r9k/29960339
>>17361562
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, but I don't even feel a thing because it's all dead.
I'm so sick of being a crumbling, peeling mess all the time. I've seen doctors, I've changed my hygeine havits, I bring extra shoes to work, I keep my pores clean, I eat right, you name it. I'm at my wits end and honestly if artificial full-body skin replacement was a thing I'd pay any amount of money for it.
What do I do?
>>17361558
Seborrheic Dermatitis:google it, sounds familiar, get more sun.
>>17361576
I work outside all day
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
