I am a rising junior in college and I need to make a decision whether or not to spend my money that I saved ($4500) on a new motorcycle or a computer. The reason why I want a motorcycle is because I take private music lessons downtown which is a 15 minute drive and I want to volunteer as a EMT. The motorcycle would help cut time because taking the bus for 30 minute lessons cuts 2 hours out of my day. I want to get a motorcycle because parking is also cheaper at my university (and bitches). Now on the other hand my laptop does not run some applications that I need for school...

There's no fucking way you need a 1000$ computer. An amd 6 core gaming rig with 8gigs of ram and a 2gb gddr5 video card won't run you more than 500$. A cheap asus laptop can run most everything you need unless you're doing 3D design, autocad, or graphic intensive work and will cost you around 300 to 400 dollars
Get the motorcycle. It has real practical uses and provides essential flexability
Do not forget that there is more expense in owning a vehicle than simply the cost of the vehicle. You can probably buy a beater automobile for way less than $4500, the cost of insurance will be lower, and your chance of dying or in a crippling accident will be way, way lower.
If you're really using your private music lesson (how much is this?) as the main reason you want a bike, how often do you actually go to that lesson? You might find that taking an uber twice a week is more economical.
Also with the computer, what are you running? I think if you actually...

A new bike is unnecessary. Buy a used one for like $2k and drop $600-900 on a laptop. Check newegg for open box deals. I bought a gaming laptop off of there for $900 that retails for $1500. Ive been using it as my main pc and it has never failed me.
Girl I'm talking to is in a sorority (AOII). I don't know shit about college. But I'm under the assumption that sorority girls are the biggest sluts in campus, like its expected to sleep with frat guys.
I brought it up, and she said she's only been with 6 guys, 2 of which where hook ups/fwbs.
Is she lying? This has bothered me for 2 days and I'm seriously considering not talking to her because of this. I heard the stories. Hell I knew I girl who had sex with 30 people in college and told me that was normal.
Everyone only tells stories about the most outrageous shit. A girl having fun occasionally and sleeping with a handful of people is no good story. That doesn't mean it doesn't happen. Averages always occur more than the crazy shit stories.
No one can tell you whether she's lying or not but given how strongly and suspicious you feel I'd just cut contact and get it over with. No point in being with someone when you can't bring yourself to take their word at face value.

As a guy in a frat I will tell you to run away from sorority girls. All they are good for is drunken sex. If you know that she is a part of the sluttiest sorority, then you know she is a slut. Why? Because women in sororities are being influenced heavily by the other girls in said house. They become a part of that group and act slutty together because that is what they have deemed acceptable.
Alpha phi is one of the sluttiest sororities at my college. Ive watched the newly initiated girls go from normal slut, to turbo slut in less than 3 months.
Run bro, run far away. Or just smash and dash
I just realized I have a lot of moles and a lot of them appeared like a year ago when I went to the pool every day without sunscreen all summer
Just realized this is like kind of related to cancer or something
If I had cancer I would be dead by now right?
Nothing to worry about right?
Nah, you could have cancer and still not be dead, many forms are slow spreading. But having/getting moles is less significant than seeing changes. Keep an eye on whether they change shape or color, bleed without being harmed and so on. These are the real signs that something's off.
One year?
Just wait, OP.
Any minute now...

Should I see a dermatologist?
I've been with my gf for 11 months now. We have sex regularly and it's good. But she doesn't orgasm. In 11 months, I don't think she has orgasm even once. I've been as much as 10 minutes eating her out or touching her and there's no way. She's pretty shy to be honest and maybe that's why it's so difficult for her to get there. She was a virgin with 0 sexual experience when I began to go out with her.
Please help.
Just ask her what gets her off. Fetishes, kinks, fantasies...
Talk to her about it
>>17240847
Send her round to my house mate, I'll get her off for you.
Should I pursue a girl that I don't know
I found her POF profile, and shes so fucking cute, but she hasn't used it in a while. I tried to let it go but I couldn't. I found her Facebook, added her, and messaged her but she never read or accepted/denied my request, but I know she was online the day I sent it but she hasn't been online since I'm guessing (she barely posts)
For some fucking reason I cant let it go. Call me a stalker or a creep but I cant fucking get her off my mind. Do I pursue or do I bottle it up like everything else?
>>17240820
Find out where she works and show up "randomly"
>>17240823
She says she works at the army whatever that means
I don't want this one to get away

Anything I can buy to increase WI fi reception?
I live in a shared house. The router is 2 floors above mine. There are times where my signal strength is 4 or 5 bars strong. In the same spot, it will later be 0 or 1 bars strong, despite no one else using the wifi. Is there something I can buy to increase my wifi reception across all my devices, not just computer?
>pic unrelated
>>17240819
Yes, Google it
If you're lucky to have an old fireplace that leads all the way down to the same room downstairs that the wifi router is in, just feed an ethernet through it (what I've done before... Got faster speeds than everyone else in the house)
>>17240822
No such luck. It was quite the hassle just to wire tv to downstairs. I'm not too tech savvy. Idk if there's some type of antenna or something that would increase signal pull to the basement. Its weird cause sometimes my computer will say 4 bars, and still says 'network out of range"
>>17240829
There's all sort of "Wifi extenders" online. Some rated better than others
Talking from my old housemate's experience: they never make it perfect. Marginally better at times, at best
Best female friend of mine is going to her's friend birthday house party today. She's having her's birthday next week and we're gonna just get high together because she doesn't like to celebrate her birthday. Anyway, she asked me several times if I want to go to this party she's going at today. I know a few of the people that's gonna be there, just superficially though.
I'm not really a guy who would seek after being in a group of people but I really like her and would just go there because of her. Also I don't have money rn...

dunno really
Go, but don't expect anything from her. Maybe she's going for another dick other than yours and you have to improvise. Be aware of this.
Well, if she invited you it shoulnd't bother the guy who's celebrating. You should go, meet people and have a good time with ypur friends.
About coming without booze, well you aren't coming with nothing. If you have coke, people would be glad to use it, that's a good deal.
no bullshit. how do i last longer in bed? male, 20

Smoke more weed

does weed actually help if you smoke before fucking?

It makes your dick limp.
Off uni for the summer.
Every day go to the gym, eat, sleep. Never meet any cute girls. Only ever see old people and dudes.
Where should I be going or what should I be doing? I have a car, but I'm not old enough to go to clubs or bars. Not really looking for hook ups (plenty at uni) but a cute girl to spend the summer with would be nice.

Left that a bit late now lad. You need to start thinking about that a month or two before you go on break

Hit on the old dudes
Get some experience so you're ready for the real thing
>>17240703
>>17240705
Yeah, my fault for not really thinking ahead.
I have experience, which isn't a brag, college just makes everything easy. I haven't seen a single cute girl here. I live in a pretty big city so I know it's not a scarcity, I'm just a hermit and I don't really know where I should be going.
I work at a fast food chain. Yesterday at 8 pm I was manning the drive through and as usual I take the order. Car rolls up and it's a really pretty captivating girl - nothing like a model, but very girl next door. She has long black hair, bangs and red lipstick. She's wearing a black off shoulder shirt, and smiles at me as she hands over her credit card. We are both waiting for her order so there's a really awkward silence. She doesn't roll her window up but fidgets with her car's dials. Suddenly she looks at my direction while waiting for her order...

You sound creepy.
Oh god no. Pls be troll.
Sure, but think of a good lie.
is it bad to really hate everyone around me
especially people who are successful
No. That's what makes the world go round. Hate.
Envy has a clever way of disguising itself sometimes. Unless it's pricks who talk about nothing besides their wealth.
hate is a strong word, resent is acceptable. so keep your emotions but dont let them get you in trouble with the law

I'm so fucking sad guys. I haven't been this depressed in awhile.
Two weeks ago I finished community college and told myself I was going to use this summer to really turn myself and my life into what I want before I transferred- confident, happy, secure- but every day since graduation I've slipped further and further into depression. I'm sad over the passing of time, turning 22, the meaningless of life, my future. I can't afford therapy nor do I want to seek it out, I just want to figure out how how to reverse this slump and get back on the right path.
Distractions.
Also exercise, walking is a good one
>>17240576
I've run out of things to destruct me with, I've started working out again though.
>>17240568
Life is meaningless until you dont have much of it left then it's all too precious.
My advice: stop trying to be stable and focus on experimenting. Save the humdrum for later and just EXPERIENCE.
how do I make my skin nice?
I have no acne but my skin isn't clean
Even if you don't have acne and stuff, I find that using like Daily Clear and acne and shampoo shit that eliminates grease and stuff helps to keep my skin at least a bit clearer.
This is my best advice to you. Invest in a good skin care routine. It doesn't have to be elaborate, just a few steps to do morning and night everyday. Pick out products that work with what your skin needs. Looks like you have some texture and probably a little oily. Start with a face wash that really feels like it cleans deep, I use a face wash with activated charcoal in it (charcoal is supposed to go deep in the skin and draw out impurities). Get a gentle exfoliating scrub to use once a week or up to every other day depending on how sensitive your skin is. It will smooth...
