How would you take this off?
>>17258674
Just let it be, it'll take care of itself eventually.
Shits lifting...
It will come out by itself with time. If you're desperate to feel pain every time you walk then by all means pull it out by force. Just pray it doesn't get infected in the process
I took this to /adv/ because I really don't have a lot of other places to go. Hopefully there are other anons out there who have had a gastric bypass or similar bariatric procedure who have some insight or tips!
Basically I am 2 months out of surgery and I am not losing anymore. I try to get my daily 60-80 g of protein, I walk and walk and walk and jog and work out 300+ mins a week and I eat around 600 kcals a day which is as much as I am able to at this point after surgery.
Im so disillusioned, disappointed, exhausted. I have a fairly active job where I sit still for maybe 1 out of 7,5 hours, the rest I spend walking/moving around. I am at my wits end and I dont know what to say to my doctor about this issue - my weight has stood still for over a month now. Do I make him check me for thyroid issues, PCOS? insulin?
Any experience from anyone is greatly appreciated- or if anyone wants a GB buddy - I would love one.
I just want to reach that healthy weight and be successful so badly.
Help is greatly appreciated!
anyone? ;_;
Hey OP
Think of your body as an engine. Bigger, stronger engines require more fuel to operate. If you're able to maintain weight by eating so little that means your engine isn't very powerful.
I used to weight 184 pounds but lost 40 by just running one hour everyday, and doing weight lifting every two days. You might not like the idea of gaining weight by putting on muscle, but strong people burn fuel fast. Michael phelps eats a whole frigging pizza just as a meal, that's because his body needs a lot of energy.
Try increasing your intensity, or incorporate weight lifting on top of what you're current doing if you haven't already.
If you're so desperate to lose weigh by going through surgery...you could aways try the hollywood diet; by puking the meals you eat.

>Do I make him check me for thyroid issues, PCOS? insulin?
Sounds like a good place to start. Just make an appointment and tell him what you told us.
Whaddoido now?
Play literally any other game for a change?
stupid mother fucker
Stop fragging your teammates, maybe?
Hey guys, so heres the low down;
So 3 years ago I got a Japanese penpal, she speaks perfect english (almost) and shes cute as hell, we message about... once or twice a day (usually big clumps of 5-10 messages discussing stuff.)
She visited my home town in March and we had a walk around and a bit of fun ect, right now im in Hong Kong om holiday and eventually in 2 weeks im getting to Japan to see her in her home town.
I really like her, and i think she likes me too. She said she wanted to visit Hong Kong and i suggested we visit together and she loved that idea, so i think she kind of likes me too.
What do I do? Are internet relationships degenerate? Id have to confess my love to her because shes very patriotic but i dont know how to even do that.
Fyi im white british, getting a degree in 2 years time.
Its 6am in my hotel room so heres a picture of the wall
Do you have any plans to move to Japan in the future? Does she have any plans to move to where you are in the future? If you said no to either or both of those questions, you're wasting your time.
>>17258648
This so much.
Gaijinfag here,
If you're white, British and your face isn't too fucked you can find tons of even cuter or dare I say hotter girls than the one you're currently"dating", if you come to Japan that is.
Grab her hand and see how she responds to it. Lead her to a bed and fuck her slto sleep then when done ask yourself if you're willing to relocate, or ask her if she is willing to do as well.
Good luck op
>>17258648
She wants to stay in Japan as a translator, however I want to move to Japan as either an English teacher or a doctor.
>>17258679
I would do that but aside from a girlfriend iv Had fir 5 years, i dont have much exoeriance doing that. Besides we both have already booked a train to visit a dew places in Osaka for when I arrive
So I got let go of my last job roughly a year ago, right after the three month starting period. Barista at starbucks, was late several times which basically flunked me out of the position. Right now I'm just looking for another retail job to fill up some time during the summer. Should I even bother mentioning my prior job since I was fired? Every application I've come across has:
>Have you ever been terminated from employment? If yes, please explain.
Fuck no. Pretend like it never happened, especially if you were only there for your three month trial period. It's not as though you'll be using them as a reference.
Those questions are more geared towards situations like your being fired from a 6 year career as a client manager for some big firm because you were caught giving the client a handjob in a meeting.
Don't write it down. It's not a court testimonial, it's an application. They can't force you to write down the negatives. Even in an interview you can just say nope, never been fired.
They won't find out either, these day they have a hard time catching people who fake degrees.
>>17258608
>>17258610
Groovy. Thanks guys.
>Be socially anxious autismo
>Tinder is the only place I can meet girls because saying hi to them in the real world is just no for me
>Meet girl and talk to her for a week
>We meet up at Starbucks one day for coffee and shit
>First "date in like ever"
>I have a good time, she seems to
>Talk all night after
>Talking to her again today (few days later)
>Ask her if she wants to meet up again sometime
>"Sure lol"
>Keep talking to her about random shit
>Just replies with "Nice", "Cool lol", "haha yeah"
It's clear she isn't really interested in our conversation. Why is this sending me into such a tizzy? Wouldn't normal people just brush this off as nothing, after all we hardly know each other, even if she isn't interested in me it shouldn't matter.
Why do I have to be such a walking trainwreck with women, why is it so hard for me to keep my cool with them. I try as hard as I can but I just can't keep a level head. I always get attached way to quickly because a woman showing even remote interest in me is a huge deal to me because it almost never happen. It just feels like I'm doomed to live my life this way.
A lot of my friends even refuse to talk to me about this because it's been going on for so long that they're tired of hearing about it.
I feel like I'm losing my goddamn mind at this point, not just because of this one girl, but I just feel so fucked up and have no idea what's wrong with me or what to do.
You are getting too emotionally invested in a date.
Relax, meet up with her again, if she isn't interested try more tinder.
>>17258598
Why is staying calm so damn hard for me.
>>17258590
>It's clear she isn't really interested in our conversation. Why is this sending me into such a tizzy
Because you waited too long to pull the trigger on the fuq and you realize you fucked up. In the interlude she found someone else to pound her poon. But she doesn't want to be directly mean to you so she's giving you bullshit two word answers.
I'm currently freelancing as a illustrator(erotic contend) but I'm afraid I may not make enough money to support myself with, before I have to get out of the house.
So I've been looking for possible jobs to fall back on but there doesnt seem to be much.
Most simple jobs wont hire people above 21 and you need a education for the rest.
If anyones got some good idea or suggestions I'd be most grateful.
I am prepared and able to do a short educations for the job. (bartender for example only requires 1 years of evening school)
If it helps, I live in the Netherlands.
>>17258562
Post art. Are you any good?
>>17258673
I'm decent enough to get commissions on a regular basis.
But it's very inconsistent, so I'd like to have a back-up plan in case it doesnt workout.

beautiful art anon. how are you making money right now? who have you sold art to?
26M been with my girlfriend 23F for almost two years. Lived with her for most of that time. We never argue or fight. There is really no big problem we have ever had with each other. The only negative is the “routine” that we have gotten into. We go to work, then see each other at the end of the day. The sex has become “routine” and the conversation has dwindled. It is hard for me to look her in the eyes, kiss her, and say I love you. Recently have met someone at school that I feel infatuated with. Have hung out a lot with this person and still have these feelings. Just ended things with my girlfriend so that I could pursue this new person.
How do you know when your confusing infatuation with love and when your confusing a long term relationship with routine and boredom?
I don’t want to be perpetually taking people for granite and end up a lonely old man because I always want what I cant have. But also do not want to end up in a relationship where I can’t look into their eyes when I come home and feel that I love them.
Also I am moving to London in 2 months to go to grad school. My girlfriend was going to come with me and now is not.
Uh, have you tried talking to her? Or trying to change things up in your relationship? Problems don't just magically fix themselves, you have to do something to fix them
>>17258508
It takes effort to keep a relationship from settling into routine and boredom. Any relationship. You have to work at it, we wouldn't call it the infatuation phase if it lasted forever. The good news is it's not all work, love is cyclical; if you gut through those periods of boring contentment then you end up crazy butterflies-in-your-stomach in love again for a while. And then, unfortunately, that wears off and things feel settled for a while again. If things don't cycle back around, then, yeah, it's probably time to end the relationship.

The grass is greener where you water it, dingus.
I'm drinking, so it might be because I'm slightly buzzed, but I think now is a good time to mention this (I'm legal age for alcohol in Ireland, don't worry)
I desperately want to have a daughter, /adv/.
Problem is, I am only 18-years-old and I am 5'6". I haven't had a girlfriend in three years, and I haven't had a female friend in three years either.
Due to my shitty height genetics, I don't want a son anymore because he would just be extremely self-conscious over his height like I am.
I also have extremely low self-esteem and have had for most of my life.
But I feel as though my dream of having a daughter will never come to fruition because of that. I want something I can pour my life and love into. Maybe it would a way of helping my own mental health.
Lately, I've just been daydreaming about myself crying with joy when she is born and I get to hold her in my arms. Then I'm dragged back to reality.
I don't know what to do, /adv/. It's putting me down a lot.
You have self-esteem issues because you blame your shortcomings on height. 5'5 m, never been an issue. Better yet it filters out superficial women.
Your dream of a having a daughter is some romanticized overblown fantasy you need to break out of.
Stop the drama, the drinking and these call for attention shitposts and move on with your life.
Have you considered transitioning? With that female height, you could be an ideal trap.
>>17258540
It's not a call for attention, though. I promise it isn't,
I've genuinely been struggling with this for a long while. I just don't know what to do. I really want a daughter bad, and I feel like I can't achieve that goal.
I'm about to have a breakdown /adv/
I'm 19 and live in a city I moved to 5 years ago. I lost almost all my friends and didn't make any back in High School here. I took a year off and haven't done anything yet, but don't have a driver's license nor a job.
I have no friends. I have no job. I have no means of getting around out of the house. I sometimes can't get out of bed in the morning because I'd much rather be asleep where this shit doesn't bother me.
I feel so alone and it's making me panic. There's nobody to go to and I'm trying my hardest to get out of this rut but I just can't. I know breaking out isn't going to be easy but it feels so hard and there's just so much I need to do that it seems so impossible to me. I know I'm young yet but it feels like I've wasted my time to be a teenager and meet people and have a life before the adult world gets me.
What do I do /adv/? I'm a pretty self-sufficient person ever since I moved here but it's not enough anymore. It's getting harder and harder each day.
Join the military.
>>17258500
That's a pretty big commitment I'm not sure I'm ready for.
Get a job. Any job really, a source of income will motivate you like an getting adrenaline needle in the morning. Exercise (cardio/gym) -it restores serotonin and endorphin balance. You lack motivation because you haven't formed a plan/ambition for the future.
Ignore the join the army tard.
If you were coming to Hawaii for the first time, what kind of things would you want to do?
>>17258436
Find a wide waisted polynesian qt and fuck her brains out
>>17258436
I'd like to try authentic poke/poki
>>17258445
Poke is good, but don't be one of those people. It's just fish, soy sauce, and sesame oil. Add whatever else you want.
OP, recommendations will depend upon which island you are visiting. I used to live on Oahu and if you are going there, I highly encourage you to see the Polynesian Cultural Center. The Bishop Museum is cool, if you are into that sort of thing.
How do I stop being so judgemental?
>Grandad grew up in a poor as fuck family (often went to bed still hungry as a child), finished school barely able to read and worked himself towards being an upper working class business owner
>My mum did the same, working her ass off to become a doctor
>My dad was from a more fortunate background but still worked hard and is on a good salary
>Parents remembered the reason that we're decently well off and made me and my sister work for everything, only gave us small amounts of money and didn't buy is gifts except for christmas and birthdays, and when we didn't do well (for instance when I got bad grades one year) they'd be blunt and tell us it was because we didn't work hard enough
*Before I carry on I just want to stress that they weren't abusive in any way whatsoever*
Now I've just finished university and feel like over the last four years I've been immersed in a hug fest where no one is held responsible for their failures.
This last year I've lived with a group of middle class tossers who blame their below- average grades on their dyslexia/childhood trauma/whatever they can think of while taking hard drugs most days and going drinking every weekend even when they have exams around the corner. One of them is taking the same course as me and called me 'judgemental' when he told me he found the classes too hard to understand and I responded by telling him it would be easier if he read some of the literature reccomended by the university and missed less classes.
It seems that everywhere I meet people like this and they just make me angry, and I end up not making a connection with them because I find it hard not to point out that they'd be able to change their shitty lives if they just fucking worked at something.
Is anyone else like this? I feel like I'm losing out on opportunities to make friends because if it...
TLDR: How do I stop letting special snowflakes bother me?
This post is like in a mirror. Very similar background, ethics and opinion of peers as you. Like you my upbringing and frustration with the education system has pushed to me to pursue ambitious goals rather than ride the entitlement cruise like my peers.
Realize however you're the snowflake in your situation. Like myself, you're driven by a superiority complex (https://analyticalpsychology.wordpress.com/2011/04/08/types-of-psychological-complexes/).
There isn't anything wrong with that, if anything it's an advantage. Realize however you have to set aside your ethics in social situations and be emotionally flexible enough to be comfortable around your peers and vis versa. Personally I only spend time at parties/social situations when I feel it would bolster me emotionally. My work/projects/ambitions are my priority.
>>17258408
I just want to say, back off from Dyslexic people. They legitimately have it hard. If someone is faking it, be as harsh as you want, but any non-bum Dyslexic would kill to not be fucked over like that.
Chill out, Grimey.
Hi, Any programmers here? If so I was wondering if its possible to be a software engineer without a degree?
nope
Engineers are an order. You need to be qualified to be able to call yourself an engineer.
>>17258403
It's a fucking joke today. Go to Udacity, Udemy. And priate the fucking courses and take the fucking degrees in a less a month.
Current Java EE, Python with Django, Ruby, .Net. If you have good damn logic and understand peopple you are one of the best programmers. But if you don't understant peopple but have a good logic, you will a regular programmer. And if you don't have logic and don't understand peopple just give up. The People will give you a lot of impossible shit to do, and you have to do someway.
No, you get a degree in software engineering. No one's going to hire someone who's 'self taught' if they don't have years of work experience in the field
You guys have helped me with my dumbass sister before, so can I get some advice again? Little sister has discovered that if you "flirt" (coughcough) with people online, they will buy things for you. Now she doesn't want people flirting with her, but it's too late for her to say that because they actually bought her stuff. It's a quasi-sugar daddy type thing, but without the relationship, just the lavishing of gifts and the pet names. What type of language would you use to tell a stranger "thanks for the expensive gift, please don't talk to me ever again"? She's dug a ridiculous hole for herself because her ovaries never descended into balls.
Pic mildly related because I used to have this toy and I would love to be in her shoes so someone could buy it for me. Just saiyan. That's a much better thing to get from a sugar daddy.
>>17258328
Sounds like b8 but she should just ghost them.
>>17258328
Post pics of your sister.
>>17258328
Time for her to make a new account.
Hey
I want to ask which Linux distro would is the best/you would recommend me, since I got told a lot of things and got recommended a lot of distros. I got recommended the Tails or Parrot Security OS 3.0 "Lithium" distribution which comes out in 2 days, i also got told also to use Kali , Ubuntu and Mint and atm I have no idea from which one to choose, since there are over 6000 distro
Thanks in advance for the help
Well, you really dont give much info on whst you want but it sounds like you're a newbie so get ubuntu.
>>17258327
Kali is not at all acceptable as a desktop os. Whoever reccomemded it is a complete moron. Just use ubuntu or mint it really doesnt matter.
>>17258441
Not even being autistic, ignore tails and parrot also they are absolutely not usable for a person who needs a computer except for specific uses.
Use ubuntu or mint only difference is the gui.
