My husband and I are very liberal and have tried to instill these values in our children, but it appears that we've been unsuccessful. My son is a very smart boy. He's sixteen years old and will be graduating high school in just a few months. However, my husband and I have noticed that he's been getting rather distant lately, not talking much when we discuss current events at the dinner table, and spending more and more time alone in his room. Yesterday, I finally got my chance to discover what was going on when he left his laptop unlocked and I was astonished at what I found.
My son's 'Pictures' folder is truly immense, containing many tens of thousands of images. Of these, roughly a third appear to be of standard meme and reaction images (although fairly obscure by the standards of an old fogey like myself), another third are of Japanese animated women, and the final third are appallingly racist. The epicenter of my son's racial hatred appears to be an image folder simply called 'Politically Incorrect', containing many subfolders, each laden with a particular variety of disturbing pictures. For instance, I was bewildered to discover that one such subfolder, entitled 'Rare Trumps' contains over four hundred images of Donald Trump with assorted pictures of walls and crying Mexicans. This obsession with an American politician is especially odd since my family lives in Canada, although my husband and I do often voice our distaste for the fiery bigot. Could our son be trying to rebel against us by joining some racist subculture?

Another alarming subfolder, ominously called 'Did Nothing Wrong' was completely filled with hundreds of images exulting Adolf Hitler, Mussolini, Franco, Augusto Pinochet, and various other notable fascists. It would appear that my son is particularly fond of Pinochet, frequently associating him with helicopters. He also has an entire folder devoted to the life and work of a Nazi artist named Ben Garrison. Many cartoons depicting horrifically anti-semitic stereotypes and promoting the idea that the world is dominated by some vast Jewish conspiracy bent on the elimination of whites. There were also many pictures of this comically evil cartoonist in Nazi regalia, detailing the unspeakable acts of violence that he's committed against POC and calling for further atrocities. When I searched this character online, I found out that he's some sort of cult figure among neo-nazis. I'm worried that my son is being radicalized by some kind of right wing death squad terror group.
Open in his tabs was his twitter profile, much to my surprise, he has several thousand followers. My son has always expressed distaste for social media, so I never in my wildest dreams imagined that he'd be the owner of a highly active far right twitter account. His timeline is a bizarre mixture of ironic anime images and far right extremism that borders on schizophrenic. Naturally he follows Donald Trump, but it would appear that he also frequently gets into spats with who he refers to as (merchants). With new cybercrime laws coming into effect, I'm worried that my son could get in trouble for online harassment and hate speech.
It would also appear that my son is collecting pdf copies of reactionary literature, ranging from Mein Kampf, to The Jews and Their Lies by Martin Luther, to the complete works of Julius Evola and Kevin MacDonald. My husband and I are very glad to know that our son takes the time to read genuine books in this digital age, but this isn't quite what we envisioned
>>17203269
Our son frequently has his headphones on while studying, and I had always been under the impression that he was listening to music. However, much to my surprise, his music library is almost entirely occupied by a white nationalist podcast called The Daily Shoah. I listened to portions of several episodes and it appears to be an orgy of self-congratulatory onemanupship of who can be the edgiest, where grown men spend three hours making holocaust jokes, mocking "dindu chimpouts" (their disgusting code for #blacklivesmatter protests), and ranting about how Jews control the media. They also appear to share my son's strange affinity for Augusto Pinochet. This kind of virulent and all-encompassing racism was completely unexpected since we live in a very multicultural area and most of the students in our son's classes at school are of Asian descent. We have always regarded our son as very intelligent and respect a certain degree of political curiosity, but this is far beyond the scope of what's acceptable. We want to respect his privacy, but we also want him to use his privileges responsibly. Withholding computer access is not an option given his academic obligations, but I think it's a good idea to restrict it as much as possible going forward. My husband is not so sure. He prefers a more subtle touch, avoiding direct confrontation and trying to gently steer our son in the right direction based on the knowledge that we've obtained of his double life. In fact, my husband is more concerned over the fact that nearly all of the pictures of women on my son's hard drive are of Japanese anime girls, with the only 3-dimensional women appearing in his 'Eva Braun' and 'Aryan Women In Wheat Fields' folders. Do you have any insights into how best to deal with our son's behaviour? Which approach is best?

RIP, you had your chance and you blew it.
Coulda, shoulda, woulda...had a Klondike Bar.
I jokingly call my Japanese friend (name)-chan and she calls me (Anon)-kun back.
Does this title imply anything?
>>17203239
Do you think she has a crush on you or something?
>>17203239
No, it's just playful banter known as flirting. Can both be romantic AND platonic. If she had interest, she would've given off signs.
>>17203239
honorifics only matter if you're japanese too, or youre both in japan.
if she's actually japanese and not just of descent, then she's calling you that out of habit more than anything, and tolerates chan because she's a girl and thats not uncommon.
Ask me about it

So here's the deal
My roommate's frumpy girlfriend has basically been staying at our the house for months. She recently got a place around the corner but still chooses to barely leave here. When she does, it won't ever be any more than like 12 hours. This wouldn't be a problem if she hadn't started to outstay her welcome

>Hear banging on door. Open it to have two people storm in to shout at her for...

waste of money right there you're all irresponsible as fuck
You're being a spineless bitch right this second by posting about it here and not talking to them. You know what you have to do, nut up and do it.
I'm beginning my GRE studies and I'm looking for opinions on the best books to begin my review. I am looking for books/materials for both review and for practice tests. I did some research on book reviews but still couldn't come to a conclusion on the best ones so I'm looking for some more opinions.
Thanks.
All those books are useless
>>17203205
So how would you recommend I prepare?
I used the one by Kaplan when I studied and it was fine.
My stomach been contracting involuntarily for a month. I don't know why. Is it a weight issue? I weigh like 150 pounds and I'm 6 feet & 18 years old.
You might be pregnant

I'm a dude dude
allergic to milk? gluten? nuts/oils?
check your diet for clues, maybe try eating the basic meat + potatoes/rice combo for a while to get the answer
Non-slut women of /adv/ (if you've had casual sex you're a slut)

sweet lord
this is going to be a struggle
at least she knows im not some jabroni that's going to hit it and quit it
>>17203090
I've had several relationships, shortest was 3 months and longest was 3 years. Still have never had sex once.
I wouldn't say I'm a "waiting until marriage" kinda gal, but I'm definitely waiting until I'm good an ready. It's at least a year with every new partner before I even begin to consider it.
How do I gst ric of the smell of cigarettes? I am extremely paranoid of people finding out if I smoke. How can I get rid of the smell without having to scrub down in a shower?
You will never mask the smell to a non smoker
>>17203073
Why the fuck would you want to smoke? There are literally no good reasons.
>>17203084
Because I enjoy it and who the fuck wants to live to be a withered old man?
An ex from years ago has just told me that she is unsure who the father of her 6 year old kid is and it could be possibly mine. I had a one night stand whilst she had a bf I had no idea about and was seeing regularly. She also told me she was on the pill and when she told me she was pregnant, swore blindly that it wasn't mine and had a period after that night. I now live on the other side of the world and am not returning any time soon. I have told her to get a paternity test with the bf at the time as the dates don't match and due to the amount they were seeing each...

Also family and friends have seen the pic and don't believe she resembles me or any of my family.
Looks like the guy on top left to me. More similar nose and eyes
Sounds like she's just trying to manipulate you. I'd just ignore it until she can prove that the kid isn't the bf's.
Anyway I'd say she looks more like the top pic, but honestly I can come up with multiple reasons she looks like either of you.
what the fuck is this.
hurts like crazy if I try to pop it. it's like deep in my skin
>>17202985
probably a pimple. yes you can get them everywhere, yes even on your dick. just wait it out.
I had the same thing. right on the sack.
It feels solid, right? like it has a little bit of give but is definitely hard
it eventually went away, then it came back, then it went away and I haven't seen it in a few years
It's a pimple.
ok so this is simple but its late and the nintendo support is closed
if im really high, and the second 3ds my cousin let me borrow is the one i accidentally use to buy a pre-release game (the new kirby) and i add my credit card to his nintendo ID by accident and buy it, will they transfer the license for the software to my actual 3ds' nintendo ID so I can redownload it?
If not, can i copy the game somehow?
>>17202972
You can probably just cancel the game on the cousins 3DS and order it on yours.
>>17203962
but would i have to buy it again?
>>17202972
no
the game stays on the 3ds you bought it on, unless you do a system transfer
I'm moving in with my older sister for a short period before finding my own place. She's shown some possibly incestuous leanings in the past, which are a cause for concern.
While she was separating from another guy, she dated someone my age--she's older than me--with my exact interests. I met him recently, and he looks quite a bit like me. He also shares a lot of my mannerisms.
She's been dating younger men since she broke up with him.
Some years ago she told my mom about another guy she found attractive and off-handedly mentioned he...

unless she's shown some other signs of mental instability, you probably want to inquire very directly and bluntly what her feelings are, especially if you aren't warm to them (Which is what your post seems to lean).
since she's relations , and there isn't a concern of weird social circle bullshit, you shouldnt need to be subtle at all.
>>17202965
But is she hot?
>>17202965
Dating younger men with similar tastes and looks isn't by itself a signal she's sexually into you.
However, by her reaction to what your mother said, she thought about sex with you. Plenty times.
If she's going to make sexual advancements or not, then it's another can of worms.
I'd suggest you wait and see a bit more. Try to gather info; if you don't react to this in a positive or negative way, she'll get bolder. Then do what >>17202975...

Okay so I'm sure this is kind of weird, but I have a problem where every time I masturbate I get really emotional after I finish. I'm a 23 year old female and I'm a virgin in a relationship with another virgin. We sometimes send dirty texts since we don't want to go all the way just yet, but when I finish sexting or finish getting off alone I usually start crying or just get very angsty. I usually end up texting him asking him to reassure me that he really loves me. How fucked up is this? How do I stop?

women release a hormone during sex that makes them fall in love with whoever they are having sex with. its so powerful that women feel an odd sense of love for who ever raped them, making it really conflicting for them. its why sex is considered a bigger deal.
evolution wise it was essentially designed so that women who were impregnated wouldnt be scared of someone who may have essentially raped them to get pregnant.
anywho, in your case it may be that said hormone is being introduced via masturbation,...

if this is true OP you should meditate afterwards and learn to love yourself. that'd solve the problem.
How do I change my voice? I'm a 24 yo guy and I feel that my voice is way too soft and whiny. I kinda hate my voice desu. It only sounds good when I wake up, otherwise it sounds so crappy.

never questioned it ever again. people dont care enough to notice outside of htei nitial change.
made a video yesterday and heard my voice, didnt realize how well i had re trained my voice, i actually really like it now.
>>17202946
Change where you speak from. Are you speaking from your head, throat, chest, or your gut?
