I can't get over a person I liked at school.
No "go out with him", because I did cringeworthy at proposing love on the internet, being a dick without knowing it, plus we have great distance between. His friends and family didn't like me after me acting like an immature cunt.
What should I do, can I boost my charisma attribute and seduce him into one-night-stand/fwb later? I keep fantasizing and the only guys I find attractive now, look like him?
Not pic-related (his friends may browse 4chan).
If I could change my face and voice to...

Call me a psycho bitch or whatever, I want answers.
And how morally wrong my intentions are, provided that the person is single and I don't want to get pregnant by him without a healthy relationship.
We will have grown up by some years and be strangers in terms of personality. But some small traits of him always stay the same and no doubt will be forever, so he will have some of my sympathy no matter what.
Go for it. Sounds pretty normal. Just be honest and communicate.

Okay, anon, thanks I'll try not to be too creepy.
He is afraid of me and loves his friends more than anything else. He ignores my texts.
Try to be really chill, when I meet him again.
I'm worried about the future of my life.
Owning a house and having a steady woman while I work my moderately paid job really isn't all I thought it would be when i was working hard in school. I really thought adults were a bit "free-er" to pursue passions and hobbies and try things...
... the reality seems to be that adults spend the vast majority of our days getting ready for, going to, being at, and coming home from work. Most of the rest seems to be spent on food prepping and eating, house upkeep, and mate partner finding and keeping. If...

That's life. It isn't all bad, you just need to shift your perspective a bit. There is much to be enjoyed, just not the pursuit of selfish goals and desires.
Oh man, and consider that this adult generation has more free-time than any other before it, and people were still able to live happy lives in the past. Ask yourself what was different about the way they thought that allowed them to be happy with so little selfish time, while you dwell in misery with more than they ever hoped.
>>17200174
Its funny looking back on childhood and thinking of all the wasted time watching sunday cartoons amirite? OP Your gonna have to keep working hard until you retire. Unless you win the lottery or get a very cushy job. Free time is something you have little of. I think you need to take time off of work and go somewhere. It doesn't need to be a fancy get away. Just a little time to think about how things stand with you.
>>17200174
If you jump into adulthood too early you'll regret it. At some point in life you'll realize that you find more joy in eliminating stress than from seeking out excitement. When that happens, you'll be ready for an adult life - because when that happens you'll find joy in doing the dishes (eliminates the stress of bad smells and ants), mowing the yard (eliminates the stress of dead grass, weeds, etc), and all of the other house upkeep that prevents you from enjoying your 16 free hours with tons...

I'm meeting my girlfriends family today for the first time and I'm very nervous what do I do?
>>17200167
Pls help
Just be courteous and talk to them. Don't bring up contentious topics unless you are directly asked, and even then answer them politically (be as honest as possible without seeming like a hardcore believer: "Well, so far I've believed that..." and end with something like "it's a complicated issue for sure and I'm always learning more about it.")
Either way it is probably not going to get that bad unless her family is fucking nuts and has no sense of hospitality or social grace.
Make conversation with them, talk about the...

Dress nicely. Be respectful and call them "sir" and "ma'am", or "Mr. [last name]" and "Mrs. [last name]" depending on your regional culture. Don't be overly touchy with your girlfriend in front of them. Make eye contact with both parents, compliment her mother, and ask her father about his job. When the meeting is over, look her father in the eye, shake his hand, and tell him to have to go pick up your wife's son.
Hi, I have this burglary job coming up, and my role is to cut the electricity to the building?
How would one go about it?
Do I just cut some wire and hope I won't get electrocuted?
In B4 404
go find the electrical box and piss on it (make sure to burst piss because a constant stream will electrocute you). Problem solved
Conduit is pretty tough stuff. I'd probably use a really sharp 5lb splitting axe. That's probably about the only thing that'd get through it quickly and relatively safely.
Okay, help. So, for the past month or so, I've been seeing a lot signs of black swans, kind of like when you learn a new word and it suddenly gets used in every second sentence. I'm a really superstitious person, so I'm trying to figure out if it means anything, or if there's a reason I'm being so conscious to the indications. I asked my logical friend and she said I was probably gay because of the movie, but she seems to think it's just me getting deja vu or something subconscious or whatever. I looked a little into it and some suggest it might...

>>17200109
You should always start with a logical explanation, like the one you see here:
>>17200152
If you want to go slightly into the /x/ territory, black swans represent the coming of a completely unexpected change that has larger-scale effects. It can also represent the occult, since it is the hidden aspect of divinity, which contrasts with the white swan, which is the visible aspect of divinity.
If you want to go completely out there, you're probably...

You very clearly have a mental illness. Good luck.
While a friend was at work, she texted me about being hungry and said that I'd have to buy her food if I didn't stop making jokes about it. I decided to do a nice thing and grab her and a coworker some pizza as a surprise. This coworker's also living at her house right now and I'd been looking forward to meeting him. Based on things she had told me before, I thought they'd still be at work by the time I got up there with pizza, but then she told me she was at a bar closeby and referred to it by name. Okay, minor change of plans. I get there and based...

Are you guys all autistic?
How the fuck do you have an anxiety attack because a friend bought you pizza?
If you bought me pizza, you know what'd I'd have? I'd have to thank you.
Please elaborate on this friends situation because you might be friends with some people with issues.
>>17200106
Never do nice things for people. Just forget it. I've done something similar where someone was joking about a thing and then I acted on it because I thought it would be nice and would surprise the person and the reaction was that I'm retarded and can't take a joke. So yeah, just ignore it and don't try to explain it or do anything to fix it because you'll probably do the thing that I did and fuck up things even more. Your friend was also overreacting.
It depends on who buys. An acquaintance buying me something without consulting me about it first (with maybe the exception of a birthday gift) would freak me out (I am not willing to accept handouts, and have turned down things a fuckton nicer than a pizza.)
However if it was a close friend or family member, and I'd easily eat half the pizza myself and enjoy every minute of it. But this is partially because I realise I will have ample opportunity to reciprocate.
People might call that autistic, but I heavy dislike the idea of being indebted to anyone in any way.
Yesterday around 2pm I was taking a shower and I felt horny and sent some nude pics and a video to my bf on snapchat. Around 4pm they got seen and screenshotted, i figured it was just my bf so i didnt mind. I get a dick pic and send another one, again screen shotted
Then he gets home around 5 and hits me up on Facebook to Tell me his phone was stolen on the way to work that morning. I immediately shit myself. I havent told him anything yet
What now?
Just let him know that before you knew the phone was stolen you had sent some dirty pics to his snapchat, it's not like you cheated on him OP. If your bf is sensible he shouldn't get too angry or upset.
If this isn't bait then your nudes are now in the hands of some stranger. The lesson learned here should be to never send any nude pictures or video to anyone ever.
Did you not recognize your boyfriend's dick? They all don't look the same. I'm sure this is bait but whatever.
Damn girl. You don't recognize your bf's dick? That's lame. Other than that, entirely not your fault. The second one is fishy. Because you should have recognized it's not him
I just bought a new PC on the 7th of May. This computer just crashed on me today.
Just like my old computer, the hard drive is making loud noises and when I run task manager it says the disc is running at 80-100%.
I have no idea why my computers are doing this, is someone hacking my internet and fucking with my shit?
What should I do? The computer is not even a month old,I havent gone on a single fucking porn website yet, only been on 4chan.
Its still under warranty, should I bring it in to get looked at?
>>17200081
Have you cleaned inside since you've gotten it?
>should I bring it in to get looked at?
If you've got a warranty, fuck yeah let them deal with it
I don't even know where to begin with this.
The short of it is that you don't haven the knowledge to solve this problem on your own., thus the solution is obvious.
Disk usage, particularly in Windows, is nothing to be concerned with. Crashing on the other hand is either a serious software issue, or a potential hardware issue.
On a better day I'd be willing to spend a few hours trying to derive the details from you, but I feel that's a futile task at this point in time.
You've got warranty, you might as well take it in. That's...

What are the specs, the OS, the programs you habitually run? And did you use the same install disks for your old PC?
Because to me this sounds like user error, so if we can eliminate that possibility then we can say go get it checked since it is under warranty.
Don't want to go into details, but basically I need to perform an abortion without my parents finding out. Please don't lecture on why I should keep the baby, I'm just looking for the best way to end this
Bump for interest
Obviously depends where you live... Philippines, Bangladesh, Ghana, France, where?

Are you under 18?
Hi /adv/,
just want to throw out this general advice
Having being myself quite addicted to pornography since I was somewhere around 11 or 12, I've come to think about this phenomenon and searched some info about it
So this is our brain on porn :

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7oFVOJf0TzY more in depth info
Now, as I am sure many of us have been hooked, I feel it's important to note that this is clearly a fucking issue, as my brain has grown during its adolescent maturing to become sadly...

You read a thing, and you associate with the things it says. That's all that's happening here.
What's the question? Whether it works? Well that would depend on your specific set of circumstances, wouldn't it? Why not try it, what do you honestly have to lose? You won't die without porn.
I got a porn site for you

I'm stopping porn alright, just wanted to share the info because I think many problems people have here can be downsized if this habit gets taken under control.
I don't know how to deal with my little brother's autism, i try to be a good brother but when i try to teach him something he won't listen, everything alwas must be done in a certian way or he gets angry, I just don't know what to do

>>17199950
I wish it was that easy, but violence will make his contition worse
>>17199950
rekt.
>>17199945
Just deal with it man. I dont understand why you would let it bother you so much. It is a sad thing. But consider the following. You aren't autistic. So enjoy life enough for the both you anon.
Guys I need some advice. I'm 18 and have been having this odd problem ever since I was about 16. I would go a week or so being completely happy then, out of no where, I'm overcome with dread and lonelessness. I fear for my life because when these drops occur all I think about is killing myself or hoping someone else does it for me. I do not think I am Bi-Polar because I don't go crazy when i'm happy. I am a Neet but have no problem socializing.
sounds like type 2 bipolar
>>17199908
I would recommend seek some professional help where they might can assign you with some medication
go to the doctor. This doesn't sound like "just a phase".
What does it mean if you get lightheaded when you're tired or hungry? It's never happened to me before but in the past month or so I've started to always feel faint just before meals and after waking up.
Maybe a blood sugar thing? I'd just see a doctor if I were you.
>>17199892
Could be several things. Light-headedness is often the result of poor oxygenation to the brain.
If you haven't been exercising much then it could be poor circulation (as a child you probably ran around a lot and climbed trees so you naturally got all the exercise you needed, plus a smaller body takes less effort to pump blood to)
Could be low blood sugar
Could be hormonal imbalance (low testosterone can lead to migraines)
Could be eye strain if you are indoors too much and don't...

I'm 22, and this only started this month. My workspace is air conditioned (a giant fridge, as a matter of fact) and I do a pretty physical job. I'm not overweight at all.
