Can I fake taking antibiotics? My dermatologist told me to take 1 minocycline pill a day in order to treat my acne, but I've already taken doxycycline which is pretty much the same shit and doxycycline made my acne worse. I have to wait another month before I can take accutane.
>>17190660
if they can detect the antibiotics in your blood, they're gonna know you were lying because you have to get your blood tested before they okay you for accutane
>>17190660
How long did you take the doxy, and how long ago? Did you use any topical stuff (such as creams, gels, etc) while on it? Is there anything different about the treatment they're having you do now?
Ask if you can try something different.
Help me out wagecucks please!
I have a job interview tomorrow at a grocery store. I was wondering if you guys could help me give answers to some of the basic questions, since i've been a neet for a long time.
1:Why do you want to Work here?
2:What are your strength and weaknesses
3:Why should we hire you?
4:What Is Your Greatest Accomplishment?
5:Do you have any questions for us?
>>17190644
Hey there man, here's some advice on how to answer these sorts of questions. I'm not going to tell you EXACTLY what to say because going in with a memorized set of lines can turn out badly (what if you forget your lines? what if it sounds unnatural? what if the interviewer asks something you didn't anticipate?), but these guidelines and examples should help.
> Why do you want to work here?
Obviously the real answer here is because you want money, but you shouldn't...

> Why should we hire you?
Again, like the first question, this one isn't really about you. They don't care if you need the money or because you think it would be neat. Try to highlight what about you will make their grocery store even better. Maybe your enthusiasm will help you learn fast? Maybe you'll help promote a friendly atmosphere for customers? Just make sure you don't accidentally insult the store. It's good to say how your multi-tasking skills...

Thanks for the kinda deep help. Except at the accomplishment. Like I said I've been a neet for awhile and I haven't really done anything that is accomplishment worthy. Hopefully I don't freeze when asked this.
Oh god /adv/, I'm scared shitless right now.
My mom is on disability and has no means of creating any other income. Her current income technically puts her below the poverty line, and it doesn't seem like she's been saving any of what she currently has. Despite being poor, she just called me saying that she's wants to buy me a car for $20 000 (she just sold her house so she has some money to spend I suppose) but given her current situation IMO she really doesn't have that kind of money to throw around. Whenever I try to get her to describe her...

I have the very same fears as you OP.
Mom living off social security she sold her condo and instead of saving the money bought herself a new car and other unnecessary things.
She actually went and spoke to a financial advisor who told her not to do these things and save her money but... She clearly thinks that I, who do not have much money and 2 kids, will somehow support her formerly abusive butt. She doesn't even offer to buy me any nice stuff and never has.
I am an adopted only child and she is divorced so I don't know what she is thinking.
>>17190636
> I am an adopted only child and she is divorced so I don't know what she is thinking.
Holy fuck, same here. I'm not the religious type but if I was I would have thought my adoptive mom's inability to have children was an act of god, with me being adopted a weird misstep in their plan. Perhaps it was the same with you, maybe these cruel ladies couldn't bare children for a reason and had no business adopting. It certainly seems so. Not to mention how painful...

>>17190689
Thats actually exactly how I feel...
That God did not want her to have kids. Because she treated me like crap, she basically adopted me to save a failing marriage and it didn't work then she became major league abusive.
She is still
Batshit crazy and jealous of everything I have accomplished.
I have my own kids biologically and the way I approach is so different.
I can only imagine like... She wasn't meant to have kids but somehow she got her hands on one to feel more normal and now...

back here again because i have no friends what so ever and you people are the only ones I can relate to.
ex dumped me after we dated three years for another guy, that was a couple weeks ago now, she was fucking me on the side which i didnt mind because I was going after another girl too but I did not think she would start dating him, as her original comment was she wants a fwb.. well yesterday she was texting me and saying she would rather be with me and that she was going to come sleep over tonight, this morning she says she doesnt want to see me at all and she...

..cont
she told me he cant please her like I do, and I know her only wanting me for my dick is shitty but I am so attached to her I am willing to take any interaction with her I can get.. I legit fucked a girl last night and i instantly felt like shit because it wasnt with my ex.. no emotion or passion, just shitty pleasure. this last week ive been hiding my emotions from her to make her seem like im doing fine without her always in my life but i think that is part of why she did this. its like she gets off of me chasing her and being fixated on her 24/7 but is quick...

if this sounds like she is done with me for good. i have her new boyfriends number and I am thinking about telling him about fucking me to maybe get him to dump her. she has been fucking me and seeing him right after so he is a cuck. almost three years younger than me and doesnt have anything like job/car/license/school
bump......... id really like someones thoughts on this, i dont care what you say
Hey /adv/, so as of these years Ive been hanging out with an old buddy of mine, and he has a brother that comes along as well. We usually hang every Saturday. It has come to my attention that his brother is a total NEET basement dweller. He literally does nothing other than play vidya all day, everyday, since we've graduated high school. Me and him are 20 year olds. He hasn't worked since a year ago. He never pays the bill while his older brother does. He doesn't have a license and has never driven (we dont live in or near a big city). He also looks very strange,...

he sounds like the type a dude to lash at you if you try to change him and your bro might join in too. you can try to manipulate him into doing it."i found you a date" "yo let's try this new gym" "i found a party, but ya gotta look nice." if all ya'll do is see marvel movies and drink he's not gonna change. this is all for the appearance though. it wont help for the personality.
why are you so interested, anon?
>>17190568
Talk about the things you want him to do but about yourself.
"I need a haircut, my hair is getting too long."
"My hair is greasy, I can tell because XYZ"
"I need to lose weight, I'm getting fat."
"I'm glad I'm employed. Not working for long is bad for your health."
Just try not to sound too condescending, and try not to be too obvious.
>>17191473
This will be obvious if the guy is sensitive and just makes people feel worse in general
You won't get him to change without manipulating him unless you become his friend. But do you want to ? Are you sincerely sorry for him and interested in his future ? Or are you just irked because he doesn't meet the standards you have for a 20 year old male ?
F here, married. Looking for advice about a complicated situation.
I'm married, and the marriage isn't great. I want kids, he is pushing back against it. I'm also no longer in love with him, and he isn't entirely supportive, or respectful of my career and accomplishments. I have a longtime friend, who has been a major source of support in my life. He usually would support me and not expect anything in return, ie he would listen, give advice, and we'd hang out. He's also married, and it has been platonic for several years.
Over the...

...It's not that I don't want to be with him. I love him deeply and I think we could have a wonderful future. I feel obligated to hold onto my past, all of the time I have with my husband, and my friends that we share. I don't know if I should choose a loveless, dull, safe marriage, or going with someone who would be the supportive, loving, devoted husband that would make me far happier than I am now.
Bet you said all the same nice shit about the guy you're married to now before you got bored with him.
Where was your husband when you were out going on dates with your friend? Why get married with someone without talking about having kids?
>>17190560
I went with the "rational" choice for a husband, and it's not that I'm bored with him and doing this for the excitement, it's that my husband has stopped being supportive, reneged on his interest in having kids, and is increasingly passive aggressive. I have a better career, that pays more, with a more advanced degree, and he treats me like I should be a stay at home wife. It's degrading.
After 5 years I am having a hard time getting into sex or getting turned on for my man... He has always been a shamelessly selfish lover but he has a big dick and that was enough to keep me turned on and hot for years but the past year and a half has been a bumpy ride. Sometimes I am into sex but most of the time not.
He always wants to get his dick sucked or blow a load and he complains all the time about how I don't get wet anymore...
I have tried to talk to him about trying a new tactic like foreplay or just snuggling to warm me up but he always just comes home...

Have you tried grapefruiting your man?

First off, I don't really believe this at all. However it seems the people that lie, take advantage, and only focus on themselves seem to be the successful of people. Morality is one of the few things that I am pretty proud of but lately I feel that it doesn't give me enough benefits. Why should I NOT be selfish when it seems all the asshole scumbags in the world have a better life than me? Yeah I'm kind of bitching and no I refuse to be a scumbag but this is just a question I am pondering: does it pay to be a good human being?
You get that priceless feel of being better than other people, duh.
Actually, wondering about that too.
Though, people who are nice and supportive get successful, with the sheer power of their likeable personality, so the "all high-achievers are treacherous bastards" isn't all that true. Usually you have to be likeable and not-too-obviosly-a-hypocrite to achieve something, because you can't fight alone. Networking is power.
According to my observations in college.
>>17190518
Though healthy selfishness and prioritising your needs is number 1 requirement to success, and it doesn't make you worse. You can't do good deeds, if you can't even take care of yourself.
If you're the vain "sacrificing my needs for all those ungrateful bastards" type, i have bad news and bad news.
>>17190544
Thanks for the response. I get the point of being a likeable personality, connecting with power people, and building up your own. But there are so many awful human beings in the world with ludicrous amounts of power (ie money) and they make it in often illegal/morally corrupt things. This obviously shouldn't be a thing but the human world is sadly not perfect. Now comes another problem that constantly nags at me: my desire for the impossible known as perfection. Humans are not perfect and well I hate it and...

A guy at uni hides my stuff and picks on me.
Does he like me? The problem is that he has a girlfriend so I am confused why he acts like this towards me.
Ask him?
Who knows maybe he does maybe he doesn't
Maybe he thinks of you as a friend
Just ask him
If you like him tell him
>>17190461
Sounds like little mans syndrome to me.
Probably because he doesn't like you....
M wife wants a divorce so I'm thinking I should join the Air Force when this is all over. Any advice or Air Force here?
>>17190459
You're looking for divorce or air force /adv/? I thought that they were separate things, but you seem to have linked them in an oddly logical way.
>>17190459
I think I'm just gonna tbqh. This is gonna fuck me up and it's not affecting her at all it seems. I am so oissed
>>17190478
After my wife leaves me I will be quite broken. I feel like the Air Force and a strong career can keep m busy and keep my mind off my failed marriage
I'm 25 years old and I've never had a single girl interested in me
What's wrong with me /adv/ ?
I'm not even fat, or ugly
>>17190455
I'm a bit older than you and am the same
We're just not attractive for some reason, and now we're fucked for life
Not sure how much longer I can live like this, life is pretty shit
>>17190455
I'm only 18 but same. Literally every guy I know, even the ugly ones have been shown interest by girls at some point.
When a girl is interested in you, she does shit like this: (my friend told me this) , "She will make it very easy for you to escalate things. So for example if you mention that you like hiking in the hills, she will say something like "Oh, I've always wanted to go hiking." Which makes it very easy for you to say "Hey, let's go together this weekend."
It's...

so i made the mistake of telling a guy that i go to therapy and while we still go out he is now super cautious of what he says.
any way i can fix this? it isn't the first time this has occurred
>>17190433
Did you tell him what kind of therapy? If not just say its physical for when you broke something as a kid.
>>17190433
Seriously, who -doesn't- go to therapy these days. If he can't hack it, don't sweat it OP. What are you going for?
>>17190500
BPD but i didn't tell him that
Hey /adv/, i come with an issue that's burning through my mind lately. Im a 26 year old male and I bought a red Mazda2 last year, which I enjoy driving so much, yet only recently I have been considering if its too gay or girly for me to be seen in. I put racing rims and a cold air intake in it, so there's that.
Ive thought of repainting it a darker color, wrapping it on a darker color, trading it in for a conventionally manlier car or just not caring about it. What should I do?
>>17190431
You fucking idiot should enjoy the fucking car if you like it
>>17190431
Don't be so stupid, OP. You're 26 and have a decent car. You're already ahead of the game. Worry about something important. You're not in high school anymore.
>>17190431
lol when i looked at the pic i thought it was a car that girls would drive and then i read your post lmao
honestly you shouldnt worry though man, nobody cares what you drive
captcha was an identify cars captcha
So I spent 4 hours looking up online about changing your steam account name (the one on the top right corner and later found I couldn't but if I could access dev mode I could do it myself.) I'm kinda thinking of beating my head cause I've spent over $230 worth of games on my account this thing is killing me. I know that nobody can see it publicly but I hate seeing my account name different that from my current username. What should I do anon?
Isn'the top right thing your account log in, which should be kinda secret?
Is it visible to other people?
>>17190430
Yeah its secret but this is a picture off a google image search when i type in steam account name for this thread.
>>17190435
If it's secret, the less it has in common with your public data, the better, right?
A girl that I like takes so long to text me back and idk why, what should I do?
How long does it take her on average? I wouldn't think much into it, she's probably busy
>>17190395
Calm down & realize that not everyone has their cellphones attached to their ovaries.
The girl I like tends to text near instantly after reading it atleast. Even then no more than 10ish minutes
Just wait
