I can't speak from personal experience, so I'm sorry for overstepping, but fuck no. If anyone in your life shows you nothing but how shitty they are, then you don't need them in your life. You don't need that negativity. Are you close with your mom? If you love her, call her and you can both bitch about your dick dad.
>>17272457 Without going off on a rant, short answer don't call.
I had similar experience. Dad in and out of life. Last saw him when I was probably 15. Called me once when I was i think 18 and I hung up immedietaly. Adds me on facebook, and I've now deleted my account. He was a horrible father. No money for support. Alcoholic. Bipolar. And what have I accomplished since I saw him? Graduated high school. Graduated college. Gotten Jobs. Learned to drive. Taught myself how to shave. First date. Basically all that... Comment too long. Click here to view the full text.
Should I dump someone if my gut says that they're not interested in maintaining anything further, or is it usually wrong to trust your gut?
I don't really have a good reason to dump this person other than that my gut is saying that something is wrong on their end and I should leave, probably because they have been withdrawn. Every time I ask about it it ends in me being guilty that I asked in the first place.
Sometimes some muscle of mine starts pulsing (usually the trap, leg or under the eye), specially when i'm stressed; this can be explained by stress. Sometimes my arm or leg twitches; it has been this way a long time, but i think it happens to people, right?
I just want a confirmation that i shouldn't worry about it.
it happens. sometimes there are reasons. sometimes there arent. you could eat too much and drink coffee and just not exercise enough. could be more sleepy than you realize but had a 'second wind' to keep you going. could just be twitchy.
my eye does it a lot. sometimes other parts of my body but its been nothing to worry about.
i wouldnt worry about it too much. if i had to guess those random twitches are on your more 'off days'.
and please note that even an hour of exercise isnt considered healthy. humans are meant to be on the run. an hour is what they recommend as a minimum of exercise,m and its supposed to be cardio, not lifting.
just saying. you'll still be fine, but the twitches sound random for me. if you are concerned see a doc.
I need help deciding if I should accept new job. please explain your preference.
current job: mostly uninteresting and easy, just clocking in time type of job. pay is just okay. but I live in my favorite area, close to friends and family, and things that I like to do.
new job offer: really interesting work that I want to get into. pay is much better. but it's on the opposite side of the country, in a boring small town. I don't know anybody within 2000 miles, seems like not a lot to do there.
>>17272335 both jobs are mechanical engineering, but new job would be much more in line with what I like and am good at. new job also 25% pay increase. i would be able to save a lot, that's a big factor. but I think it will be really hard to be living there and I might get depressed or something. I also have a gf that I would either have to break up with or go long distance for almost 1 year until she can move
Anyone here meditate regularly? How has it effected you? I try to meditate for 20m but around the 10m mark I find myself getting distracted, playing with my cat, checking my phone, etc.
what are you trying to achieve by meditating? traditionally its simply clearing your mind entirely to let a godly presence into you. but more recently it coudl literally be just a time you sit and think and no one cares. does it matter if you play with your cat at the ame time? i mean isnt quality time with the animal you adopted kind of more important then sitting aroudn thikning?
the closest i get to meditating is in the shower. no music, no tech, no lights. just me, fetal position, with hot water for... Comment too long. Click here to view the full text.
As a practicing Buddhist with a lot of other beliefs (because strict dogma is shit) Buddha once said before he died, to follow your own path, to follow that which brings you peace, and that there is no one way to enlightenment.
In this matter, find what brings you peace. Meditation doesn't have to be the kind of thing practiced in temples and stupas by laymen and women. It can be simply what meshes with your heart and mind.
If you feel the want to improve, go for it. Meditation has no true... Comment too long. Click here to view the full text.
>>17272301 I did when I was in the Army. If you want to get good pick up some books and read various techniques. I prefer to lay down to mediate. My favorite technique was focusing on passing "light" from one part to another after channeling it to my forehead. After a while you only feel the "energy" and not your body and feel like you are floating in the air as a ball of light.
I just realized that I'm incredibly narcissistic. People have always described me as self-centered, and that irked me, but then I realized what I was.
I don't value other people. I don't see them as real. When you mow down enemies in a shooter, do you feel bad for them? Those enemies exist to be mowed down.
Now, let me clarify, I'm not saying I'd murder someone. I'm just saying that I have this fucked up perspective where human beings are just backdrops, props, NPCs, etc., in the story of ME. I observe reality from a egocentric perspective,... Comment too long. Click here to view the full text.

>>17272293 You need to start using Rogaine or Minoxidil now if you want to keep what hair you have left. You should also take a DHT blocker every day for literally the rest of your life:
Get a prescription for finasteride and start using nizoral shampoo 2-3 times each week, leaving i on for 2-5 minutes before rinsing. You can get it without a prescription.
I started it earlier this year and I love it. I find it amazing and want to try and be the best I can and I sort of see competitions as the pinnacle. I train 5-6 times a week.
I'm currently 19, but am turning 20 next month and I wonder if I'll be able to catch up with those who started as kids.
I realize this is more of an /asp/ kind of question, but that board drowned not so long ago in all that WWE shitposting, daily judo threads are no longer a thing there.
does it matter? unless you are saying that you want to do this professionally it really doesnt. plenty of people dont start martial arts until they are adults, and competitions are done based off of experience adn weight class (if im not mistaken they wont have someone with an early belt fight someone like a black belt) so it doesnt really matter.
would you quit if people said 'TOO LATE JUST STAHP FOR REASONS GAWDDD' ?
you will likely never catch up to those who started as kids and are still in the business.
but since you take the opinions of random strangers >YES ITS TOO LATE WHY ARE YOU EVEN BOTHERING YOU ARE GOING TO LOOK SILLY FIGHTING OTHER MEN OF YOUR SAME SKILL LEVEL AND AGE LOLOLOL WHAT A BAKA
so you think that going to prison will make you anything omre than being a prison bitch? think about it, if you have no expertise fighting, which you clearly dont otherwise you wouldnt think going to prison is the only way to fight, they already know how to fuck you up, and they already have gangs.
you arent going to learn how to fight through fighting. you just learn how to get your ass kicked. maybe take a class.
not really. conversion therapy is known to be shit.
that being said, you dont have to be a fucking faggot. im only out to one of my friends, and the only reason im out to him is cuz we met by me asking him out on a date. hes straight but we hit it off so yeah.
outside of him no one needs to know. my sexuality is really no ones business and i dont intend any of my other friends to meet a partner til i find someone worth introducing them to. but im more homosexual than homoromantic or whatever so... Comment too long. Click here to view the full text.
Is going to a private university even worth it? I've got a year to fuck around right now before attending a university. I'm planning on majoring in CS, but I really want to avoid being fucked over by student debt. I feel like going into trades isn't a bad idea, but I really want to get the fuck out of my parents' house 'cause I can't stand living with them. What do?
>>17272223 >I really want to avoid being fucked over by student debt Could you not get any scholarships? if you weren't good enough in High School maybe you shouldn't go to college, they practically throw money at you if you are at least average
>>17272223 College is worth it if you can pay for a large portion of it out of pocket. Private universities especially aren't worth it for the common person - you pretty much need to be independently wealthy to justify going.
Trades are a fantastic idea, school is shorter, far less expensive, and you'll probably end up making more than those fresh out of college with a degree.
The problem with trades is the glass ceiling, and the only way to make a LOT of money is through a labor union - and a lot... Comment too long. Click here to view the full text.
Hi, I’m a 24y old male, got a nice girlfriend, she loves me and usually the sex is pretty cool. Also got a job that it’s ok, it’s not the job of my life, but I’m not planning to stay there forever.I’m tall, slim and as far as I know nobody considers me either ugly or dumb.
But lately, like for 6 months from now with some big changes in my life (finishing college, finding my second job), I’m feeling sad, not every day, every time, but almost half of the time I think life isn’t worthy at all and like once or twice a week I think I can’t keep going.

Happy father's day, /adv/. Any fathers out there have a question for me? If it's a specific legal question, include your country. I'm from Canada, do mostly family law.
seeing as canadian farmers feed people to their pigs, and now that beastality and suicide are legal, what's the cost and fees associated with starting a pig brothel/health care clinic ?
