Hey /adv/. Sorry to be a bother, but are any of you fishermen? In a few days, I'm about to go on a trip with my family down to the shore at montauk, long island, and we were thinking of doing shore fishing or fishing from one of the piers/rock formations. However, the only equipment I have is suited for freshwater.
Are there any kind of strategies I can use or equipment I should buy without having to actually go out and buy a saltwater rod?
You can use freshwater tackle in salt water. Just rinse everything off after you get done.
I mostly freshwater fish in lakes and river but occasionally I'll go bay fishing and I use the same rig. Only difference is I usually use a different reel with a higher test line for bay fishing.

I was thinking of fishing on the beach, casting into the surf and all that. Should I just add a shit ton of weight to it?
You could try the fishing general thread on /out/...........
Parent is dying of cancer and has medical bills. Would they take the house she owns to pay her bills when she dies?
>>17269007
Eventually, yes. Any unpaid bills will go to collections. But it's not that simple. It depends on if she has a will, who is in charge of her estate, etc. Next of kin is typically liable for these things. When the next of kin can't pay, things default and go to collections, at which point assets are seized.
It's a very complicated and shitty, drawn-out process. Your mom needs to seek legal counsel and start getting these affairs worked out.
>>17269016
Shes pretty crazy and can't manage her affairs. Should I just get an attorney?

In what jurisdiction? Usually debt can't be inherited: the estate is still responsible for the debts, but not the heirs.
I wanna help physically train my sister but she doesn't see it as nessary. So how should I hire a girl about her size to fight her so she sees she should learn to fight?
Don't worry she's 18+ so its ok.

You should set a cage-fighter experience and make her watch people being dissembled and murder in every which way you can think of. After all that, force her into the cage so she dies and would regret not prepping for the moment.
>>17268944
Do nothing. Let her "learn" her own mistake
>>17268944
omg that pic is so wrong on so many levels
>I wanna help physically train my sister but she doesn't see it as necessary.
lol why tho there is no way she gonna be any good at it unless she makes it her life's calling.
35f here. I'm depressed because I am physically weak and if I got into a fight I would end up hospitalized or dead, but the idea of just giving up makes me depressed and angry and violent and it's killing me from the inside. My father used to beat me as a child so I hold a lot of resentment toward men, I am scared of men hurting me and I am angry at the idea of giving up like I was forced to do as a child, I hated it. To this day I randomly burst into tears at the memories and I wish could beat my father to death. I won't even attempt because I don't want...

it's just an unfortunate part of being a female that you have to live with unless you decide to take self defense classes and lift weights.

No... as long as I avoid intimate relations with men I found out I can keep a safe distance. I'd rather be safe and die a virgin than risk my life with a horrible man. Thanks for confirming my suspicions.

Buy a gun, you dumb bitch.
Fucking idiotic females I swear.
Even Ronda Rousey wouldn't beat that manlet Mayweather in a fight.
I'm working as an intern to develop a web app (I don't really like it).
Working 8 hours a day at a desk is horrible. I never expected it to be this awful. I come home and have ~5 hours to do what I want, one of those hours is spent cooking, eating.
I'mm getting my degrees in CS and Maths next year.
Is this all there is to life? I don't think I'm smart enough to get further involved in academia. But I love learning so much, and I learn best when there is a course curated for me.
Is grad school a waste? I think teaching maths and...

Depends where you live.
If you live somewhere like Canada it's quite easy to take an "outdoor" job.
Otherwise, you're kinda fucked.
>>17268969
That typically involves physical labor. Decidedly not comfy.
There are research jobs that exists outside of Academia.
I have an car sales interview coming up, and a friend of mine who has been working there almost two years has referred me. He says they might ask me why I'm choosing one of their particular dealerships over another (i.e. why honda over mazda) and I really have no idea what i'd give to that sort of question. Google wasn't any help. I'm not necessarily looking for a direct answer here, more so just a way direction to point me in so I can understand how I'd answer it personally.
Thanks in advance
>>17268862
just be yourself, speak with confidence about what you answer, say you like the style of the car, answer in a subjective way.
>>17268862
say some shit about the cars
"i really like what direction honda is going and think their cars are really good at an affordable price. i can confidently sell something I believe in"
>>17268862
I'm much more knowledgeable about honda vehicles and features than mazda so I feel that I'll be able to land more sales with this dealership as opposed to mazda.
Hey anons, I always fail at uttering something useful out of my mouth when I'm confronting a girl. I see many dudes feeling very comfortable when they're talking to women. I'm always stuttering or getting too much stress when I want to keep getting the woman im talking to interested in me...
>>17268853
Talk to women like you talk to men.

I'd love if Scarlett sucked my dick she is so hot dude! Did you see Kojima's new game at E3? Looks sick!

I have literally had a guy say similar things to me about Selena Gomez not one week ago, and which game?
I've really had enough with losing my mind, I'm afraid lucidity will come less often and nothing has helped me so far, so here we go my first suicide thread. Which poisons/chemicals cause the body die without drawn out nausea and vomiting/pain? I have considered a bridge searching up the tallest on the west coast here in the US but it's so messy and the city could be billed for the clean up and that's just rude. A gun isn't always a given if I shoot myself in the head I could survive and might have to live in a hospital, unless I go for the gut shot...

Has anyone on /adv/ attempted before?
Pills/chemicals are unreliable. Even the official executions don't always go smoothly.
Why exactly do you want to kill yourself?

I live with my mom because I decided to save up for a house. Anyway, its proving to be a mistake.
She treats me like an invalid. I was downstairs and saw she was watching some gay movie about a living teddy bear. I was like "is that the movie about that bear from those kids books? Not curious george, that's the monkey...but the cordorouy bear?", which I thought was light polite pleasant banter. She just looked far away and nodded her head slowly and faintly said "yeah...the cordouroy bear. So, what's the monkey, Bob?" condescendingly.

She treats you like that because you act like a fucking child.
>She acts like a cunty teenager
You're acting like a cunty teenager as well. I guess the apple doesn't fall far from the tree. I wonder what forum she is complaining about you on.
>>17268801
Oh yeah, how? By doing the shopping, cleaning, and making polite conversation?
So I have this problem /adv/, I can attract girls but I can't seal the deal. I know that I cannot small talk for the life of me and my texting is god awful dry so I end up losing a lot of them. How do I become better a small talk / be a better texter.
Pic related, its one of the many girls I matched with.

Gotta do it more brother. Keep practicing.

texting is a waste of time. Go to her in person. Talk about things that interest you, if you have no interests, develop them.
I got 12oz of water, $500 cash.
I'm planning on just ditching everything I own. Trying to find my place up in Alaska. Who knows, I may come back. Yes, I have a bed and food (10 nature valley crunch). Planning on bringing my books too. I'm currently in the state of Oregon.

an extra 5000 dollars would help

I have a paperclip and 6 warm gummy bears, how can I build a house?
So bit weird I guess.
But would a electric razor for women be any different than one for men if they need it for shaving body hair?
I have really shitty leg hair and was looking into some razors for it. But for obvious reasons it's typically a woman only market.
Are electric women razors worth it for a man? Anyone have experience or recommendations about it?
>>17268736
They're not really a razor like the one you use for beard. They are epilators, so they work kinda like wax - they pull out the hair. Razors just cut a part of it.
If you really want to do it (I don't think you should), silk epil is pretty good.
>>17268773
Ah is that how it's done.
Unfortunately I do have really bad leg hair though and need to do something with it so I was hoping this would be an easy way of caring for it.
From what I was looking at though they claimed it to be more of a razor than a epilator.
>>17268789
Trust me. It fucking is not. It is an epilator and it hurts just slightly less than waxing.
I don't think it's really an issue to have leg hair, for a guy. Probably it's just an insecurity. What's so bad about it?
What do people mean when they say they "have" friends?
Can you "have" another person? I don't think you can. That person is free, you don't have them
>>17268697
I think we should bring slavery back for this purpose
>>17268697
It means you're overthinking shit, you sperg.
What else should they say? "I acknowledge friendship with individuals?"
You probably don't have any friends.
>>17268697
OP, friendship is mutual ownership of one another, it's a bond between two people, not one way ownership. You have a friend, they have a friend and thus even though there is only one thing between the two of you (friendship) both of you gain it to equal degrees. This is the transmutation of the human experience, the method by which we become greater than we are.

Slow down there cowboy. We need a little more information. Do you know this chick well already? Or do you like her and she asked you out?

Same year, same friends group, see eachother practically all the time
I want to get a girlfriend and figure out what they like/ just be attractive to them.. what do? Bonus points for something other than "bee yourself"
tfw no gf
They like it if you get to know them and learn from them and find out for yourself what they like and dislike
They don't like being lumped into one giant group, and they can tell when you're using "tactics" that you learned on the Internet. There is no one-size-fits-all. Ask questions and listen

What do you think happens when you get a gf?
Life doesn't magically become better, often it gets more stressful
