Unemployed at 26 no health insurance and my hands and fingers are tingling with my stomach burning and pinching all day
Pretty sure this could be gastric cancer due to eating processed and salty foods
Anyways I feel like shit since my parents have been good to me and I couldn't do anything nice for them in the end. How can I shake these mind crushing thoughts?
Drink water and eat real food go to a walk in

> couldnt do anything nice for them in the end
M8 you about to kill them or something? You still got youre entire life ahead of you and your parents can prob last at least 25 years so just fix your health and start making small plays
I'm in a polyamory relationship with my gf of 3yrs. She has been dating another girl for a year and I am cool with her too (Lesbian, so no chance). Pic related...
However, even before we decided to become poly, we set some rules for each other. No more than one more person per and don't talk about the intimate times. Of course, me being male, my success rate of finding someone else has been pretty much unsuccessful.(Open relationship status seems to make girls think he's cheating or just looking for threesomes) Any way, my gf's gf is coming to visit...

It sounds like a poly relationship isn't for you.
Thats really just it.

Real talk now mate. It's only an "open relationship" if both of you have other partners. You've managed to land yourself in a position where you're getting cucked - by another woman - in such a way that if you complain about it, your mrs (I use that term in it's loosest sense) can spin it like you're the one who's in the wrong and if you push it too far she'll kick you out and replace you with her femme-bull.
I'm 19.
I want to make games. Something in Unreal Engine, Unity, GameMaker, or my own engine.
I also understand that knowing how to code makes game development easier.
Well, not necessarily easier, but it's definitely worth it to know computer languages such as C.C++.C#, etc., so I can control the in's and out's of my game.
So, I want to learn how to programming/coding. I know nothing about it.
Where do I start?
How hard does it get?
What language is the easiest/hardest?
How long will it take me to know a good amount...

Start by learning C, then get SDL. There's tutorials and shit for free, google is your friend. Branch out after that, learning other languages once you've learned the first one will be easier. It's (mostly) all the same concepts, just tailored to different tasks. First language will probably take 2-6 months to really master, but you can start making stuff long before that.

I'm super extremely dumb at math and programming codes looks exactly like them. Should I relearn math? Until what subject of math I should learn to enchance my logic enough to learn programming?
Thank you for answering this question asked by a worthless person.

OP here. You think Codecademy could be worth my time?
I want to take the matters into one’s own hands and change my broing lfiestyle (work - home and repeat). I feel bored, tired every fucking day. Time to change it.

I am drinking some right now and I am interesting. I'm a loser but that's still interesting.
hi guys and girls, i have a few problems i hope you can helb me with. a bit of back story, im p much a massive loser but ive started going to social events with that 'meetup' website in the past few months, meeting new people and getting out etc. which is good, however theres a few issues you might be able to give me some ideas for

1. Pretend you're a wet fish. It's still sexual and not "gropey" since fish don't have hands. Make sure you're wet, I can't stress that enough. I once banged a girl with this magic technique.
2. Just go to her and randomly ask her out. If she rejects you you're a loser and you must leave the group. It's just how human tribes are supposed to work.
>>17255084
could you expand on that please?
problem is i dont want to get kicked out the group because i need it to meet more people
>>17255103
Just take her aside and ask her out out of the blue without knowing each other first. Make sure to do it anxiously and not maintaining eye contact. If she rejects you, you're automatically banished from the group. You must feel defeated and go to r9k and complain about the unfairness of life.
I am concerned about my sister. She responded to someone who said they didn't have any respect for martyrs with this rant.
My sister took me to my first concert, Rage Against the Machine, in 1997. I was 11. She showed me George Carlin and Bill Hicks.
Religion was never a big thing in our house. Our parents taught us to question authority, not blindly believe in any ideology, and that organized religion had a tendency towards corruption over time.
This has really only started in the last year or two. I am concerned, as my sister has three young children....

Make sure she's not insane. How insane is your sister, bro?

She never used to be, but now I wonder. Sadly, I live a few states away from her now.

Why don't you sleep properly, you fucking sack of shit?
Im so depressed and full of anxiety i cant even eat. I just end up throwing up.
What can i do?
Why the anxiety? You can't pay rent, your dog is about to die? Your girl is cheating on you? Please tell me right now you piece of shit.

Has ANYONE been helped by Tony Robbins' stuff?
No. The self help industry is a bunch of pseudo-philosophy and pop psychology that usually offers nothing of value to people who really need help. See a professional rather than wasting time/money going to these kinds of seminars.

I'm not necessarily asking about the seminars. You can easily watch his shit on Youtube or read his articles.
Hello /adv/, this is my first post here and I need help. Please don't make fun of me, the last days have been the worst in my life and I self-loathe myself enough already.
I am completely serious about anything in this post.
To understand my problem, I have to talk a little bit about myself. I'm 18 years old and frequently visit the boards /r9k/ and /u/. Until a few days ago, I was quite content with
my life. It makes me really happy seeing cute 2d lesbians, and I wish I could be one too. I'm not a tranny (I think they look disgusting), so my only hope...

-I sucked my best friend's dick. I see this guy everyday, and I can't even look into his eyes anymore. Our year long friendship has been ruined forever by me. He doesn't seem phased by it at all and doesn't bring it up either, but I just know it will never be the same. He may be cheerful as usual, but I can't be on an equal level with him anymore now that I fucking sucked his dick and he only rubbed mine. I'm fucking ashamed, I even revealed disgusting fantasies to him like me sucking...

Yuri, and moe in general, makes me feel like human garbage. Everytime I see a picture I would normally consider cute, I have to think of what I did that night, and that I'm a fucking worthless faggot that doesn't deserve looking at this stuff. I also feel like even if I would die that god wouldn't turn me into a cute lesbian anymore (I'm completely fucked in the head, yes.).
-I don't think there is any kind of solution to my problem. The damage is done, I can't un-suck my best...

Lol fag
I have 2 bosses one likes me and the other dislikes me. The one that dislikes me finds little things to take "revenge" and shit like that but never says anything about disliking me. I also dislike her; her personality is obnoxious, she is loud and needs to constantly reaffirm herself and brags about stuff, she is insecure and tries too hard to seem strong.
"The loudest person in the room is always the weakest" applies very well. I have a particular hate for this kind of personality.
The reason i have this job is because when i was home all day i...

It's not about that.

Need help figuring out what I want and if I'm being unreasonable or not.
Short story:
-with wife for 6 years, married for 1
-rocky relationship: few shared interests, constant fights about domestic responsibilities, resentment over one thinking the other contributes less to the relationship
- still a really good team if we try to be, but it has been getting harder
- she supported me through grad school, so there is a feeling of "owing" her
- she has been approaching me over the last few months saying that we need to fix things or accept that...

In essence, I want to choose her, so what's stopping me?
You are in a bad marriage with someone you don't love. Regardless of what's going on with your friend, you will ruin your life (and your wife's life, and any future children you might have) if you keep this going. You need to end it. You already know that.
>>17254956
So how do I accept that and say it? How do I commit to that path?
Hey.
I am suffering from depression, it kicked in about 3 weeks ago when my only friend started ignoring me for no reason. Ive talked to him about it and he says it just happened but he dtill considers me his friend.
My mother was mentally abusing me until i moved out and I had severe depression while living with her, having the support of a friend helped greatly.
Now I have no friends, no family and when I try talking to my friend he just says "Why do you have to be so boring?" He completely ignored the fact that I have depression and is hanging out...

He often came to my house and talked with my mom since she wouldnt listen to me. Sometimes when things got out of hand he helped me get out of the house.
So last night my downstairs neighbor called the cops on us citing us smoking weed. The Cops came and we didn't let them in but they asked a few questions outside (in a bored manner, like why the fuck am I here) then left. They obviously didn't see or smell anything. Apparently this isn't the first time they have been called but it's the first time the police confronted us.
Now a bit of background. We're 9 months into our lease in a 1 year lease. They are in maybe the 2nd month of theirs. A couple weeks back the guy came to our door saying a "cigarette...

Make a "dick" or "sploof"
>get plastic bottle
>get dryer sheets
>put 4 large holes in the bottom of the bottle
>stuff said bottle with dryer sheets
>exhale marjuana smoke thru said bottle
Much like my mother when I was in high school, they wont suspect a thing.
>>17254890
Hey that's cool. Why is it called a dick?
>>17254835
as the other anon said, a sploof is a good option. another option is to say fuck them, bad neighbors are part of life. the cops can't legally do anything unless you open the door and they see a bong or something.
I have a question about the age old advice of he yourself
How do you know who you are ?
If it's the things you like , the what if the things you like are negative ? (Ie being negative all the time )
>>17254790
>How to be yourself
The real trick is in understanding that you first have to BUILD yourself. We're born with half a psyche at best. Freud called it the id, while Jung called it the shadow, but whole Jung was less moralistic about things, they referred to the same concept: the self as the sum of one's impulses, the "lizard brain".
Over top of this, the theory goes, we are to build the free-willed individual who, while subject to these impulses, is not a...
