So I am in a situation where me and my girl friend love each other (known each other for 12 years been together 4 years) and we are basically only on the planet for each other at this point. She wants to mess around with her friends, like intimately, like sexually, and I am uncomfortable with it. I know she is mine and isn't leaving me but seeing her holding another guy and them groping each other really just struck me the wrong way. She told me I was controlling (just for saying I wasn't happy with it) and I will not tell her she cannot do the things she wants, but I am left unhappy. Is there a better way to look at things? I feel like me getting over it is the only solution but I feel like I am doing it alone with no support from her, she just wants to do what she wants.
I don't know who has been spoonfeeding you bullshit, but you sure as hell need to stop eating.
>seeing her holding another guy and them groping each other really just struck me the wrong way
It should do way more than that
>She told me I was controllin
Don't control her
>I will not tell her she cannot do the things she wants
She can do whatever she wants
Wake up man. Your girl doesn't seem to give a fuck about you.
You can't control...

This anon is right. What is wrong with you? I would break up with her immediately if she was trying to fuck other guys. That should make you feel a little more than felling "wrong".
>>17354419
>>17354353
These anons are right! Your Blind dude. She must know you think your only on this planet for each other. Cuz thats the only way a bitch would pull some crazy talk like that out of the bag!
So me and some friends are starting up an animation studio and releasing videos on YouTube pretty soon. We'd like to do this as our careers in life, but I know it won't be too easy. Is there any advice on how to help our channel grow, get ourselves out there, and make this thing profitable? We know it will take time to get the ball rolling, but any advice on this topic would be much appreciated!
>>17354313
Search engine optimization and consistancy
>>17354313
first and foremost, dont refer to yourself as a 'studio'. you are two people doing animated shorts on youtube.
dont be afraid to be cheap wiht the framerate. while its great to have a lot of frames, it takes time. use as many frames as needed and feel free to go overboard for scenes that will be worth it, but you're two dudes. dont bother trying to make every shot motion, especially in a more dramatic series.
before oyu make anything official, LLCd or any of that nonsense, make a...

Unless you're creating cartoons as quality as studio ghilbi, you're not going to do so well, unless you painstakingly create an amazing idea that doesn't -look- incredible (adventure time)
Unless you want to create a flash cartoon that looks like utter shit (aqua teen hunger force), it's going to be a ton of work.
3D animation is key in the industry right now, so I'd get started on learning that too. Even the Simpsons uses this each episode.
Good luck anon!!
>transfer to 4 year university
>they tell me I need to register for at least 2 classes at the uni
>all the classes I need are already full
>cant even register until next month
>already took all the classes I need at my local CC
so what am I supposed to do now
Talk to your counsellor. There are always drops in the first week. They can override the class size, especially if it's major relevant.
>>17354312
Register fo shit so you don't get dropped.
Wait until fees are due for enrolled students then vulture in on those classes.
>>17354312
Universitys are normally very accommodating of stuff like this. Get in touch with a staff member, or your course administrator, and they'll probably work something out for you.
Recently started acting classes. Finding it difficult to integrate into the group I'm in. Any tips?
Well aren't you meant to fake it? Thats kinda what acting is about. Put on a believable act until you hit your stride. It will be good practice, and will help you not alienate yourself.
>>17354316
Well yeah, I get what you're saying, but we have to develop stuff in down time. We have to make scenes with each other and something is really alienating me from the group when we do this.
>>17354303
You can stop method acting. You don't need to impersonate a faggot anymore. Although you did such a good job that people can't tell the difference between when you're acting and when you're not! Good job!
Hey adv,
The apple charging cable I got originally with my iphone 5c is about to break. I've had it for about 3 years, and now I'm wanting to buy another.
I've read that the apple replacement cables break frequently. Do you know any that wont break, and will preferably last for a year minimum?
Buy a new one
Wrap gaffa tape around the cord
Invincible cable
>>17354268
Have you tried not abusing your cables?
>>17354275
I'll keep this in mind. Thanks man.
>>17354276
That's what I was suspicious about too. Are all the people saying that their cables break, being rough with them? (pulling from the wire, instead of the tab, etc)
Is it still possible to live in LA as a waiter while you write scripts?
>>17354254
I dont live there.
But of any career/industry ever, its seems like Hollywood is the most 'who do you know' of any career.
>>17354254
Potentially. Do you have a trust fund or parents who'll give you a monthly allowance?
>>17354254
I'll piggyback on OP. Is it possible to live in ANY city as a waiter?
I desperately want to escape my parents, but it seems like it's impossible to live anywhere on min. wage these days unless you have roommates.
If you can't beat them, join them. I'm on a work camp, and almost everyone here smokes. At first I didn't participate, but now I'm have dreams about going on smoke breaks and enjoying cigarettes.
I just want to experiment really. Would 2-3 cigarettes a day over 11 days leave me addicted? I've just bought a pack of 25, and I plan to finish it.
>>17354221
Don't do it anon. I smoked for 10 years and eventually was a pack a day man. Looking back I consider how many hundreds of dollars I wasted on cigarettes as well as the damage to my health.
As far as addiction alot of it is stress based- if you're smoking due to stress or using it as a means to relax you will become more addicted than say smoking casually at a bar.
Either way it is addicting, so my advice would be never start. Go work out or find another means to burn your stress.
How about you resist peer pressure and not get cancer
>>17354228
That's like saying heroin's OK just as long as you're not doing it to relax
I get where you're coming from, but the addictiveness of cigarettes has nothing to do with WHY you're smoking. Anyone with a genetic predisposition for addiction can become addicted from one cigarette at a party.
So OP, yes, one pack can easily addict you if your body is predisposed to addictive tendencies. Which means if it is, after that one pack is gonna be fucking miserable for you for awhile.
Unless...

Hey, I'm a police officer full time and only have a limited amount of extra time but at the same time I'm looking on to take on an extra income venture (meaning I can't do both). So from a business perspective, out of the two options, what is the better investment in terms of time, money and return.
Option A) Working as a logistic and training manager for a small HVAC (Heating & AC) Company. A friend of mine who is a team leader there, offered me the job to work under him. My duties are primarily booking hotels, booking rental cars, recruiting and...

Fuck cops fuck cops
>>17354227
Grow up, don't get mad because a cop took your DUDE WEED LMAO
Option A, for sure. Attempting to start a successful business in your spare time while working full time at a day job would be a nightmare.

GF forgot birthday. Should I tell her and risk making her feel guilty or not say anything?
Joke about it. Say something like, "Well you know today's my birthday." She'll probably be a little upset she forgot but will try to make it up to your tomorrow and the rest of today. Good luck
>>17354211
This.
Just remember, birthday's aren't really a big deal. At least you have a girlfriend to forget yours.
>>17354189
She'll feel even guiltier if she doesn't realize until way later that you guys never celebrated your birthday this year. Like a piece of shit for not acknowledging you the whole day. Tell her and let her make it up to you, she'll feel bad but desu that is pretty shitty, forgetting your bf or gf's birthday (unless it's very out of character).

I just turned 24 and I'm still a virgin.
I never had a bf, never kissed a guy, never seen a penis.
Next year I will reach Christmas cake status.
Why is it so hard for me to get a bf? I'm not fat or deformed.
I feel like I will die a virgin.
Probably confidence. You'll get laid super quickly if you flirt with the guy first hand and make it obvious that you're interested. Don't say it outright though, traditionally he will make the first move.
>>17354186
>I'm not fat or deformed.
lol ok
>>17354186
Judging by your picture and the use of the term Christmas Cake, I take it you're a weeaboo.
What was your high school life like? What about post high school?
What are phrases you have said that immediatly made a girl know you wanted to have sex with them that they responded positively to i.e. you had sex?
No such thing OP. Work on your social skills.
>>17354176
If she already wants to have sex, you can say almost anything and get her in bed. If you're not to that point yet, there's no magic words to make a girl lustful for cock.
Stop boiling down typically complex social interactions to "what button do I press to win?"
>>17354183
>>17354184
Maybe I should re-phrase. How do you bring up the fact that you arent on a date with a girl because you want to be in a committed relationship, but just want to full around? I'm a literal person and I dont want to put my foot in my mouth by saying that sentence exactly, unless that is what you say. I'm not asking for a one liner that makes girls jump your bones, just what is the common courtesy? I already mentioned I'm going into the military...

hey /adv, ive been wondering how many of u had a phase in life in which u didnt believe, interest, ponder, explore, like fuckin anything, when all the articles saying "do what u love" made u cry cause the only thing in lfe u enjoyed was pizza, and even tho u had a girlfiend, went to uni, and were ok overall, u just felt fuckin dead inside? did u get over it?if yes, how? is it possible to just start liking things? is nihilism curable? why do u bother living?
>>17354148
I would like to take my time to respond to this, but your grammar shows that you are not that intelligent.
>>17354154
If you got answers ill be happy to rewrite everything, sorry if it looks bad. It was an impulse that i started typing at all.
Nihilism is kind of curable. I had the exact same experience: I had everything but I was scared of what would happen to me when I died along with the feeling of uselessness in everything and couldn't think of what to do.
Best ways to get out of your depression are to contact old friends again, go on walks, drink lots of water, do vauge exercises, and if all else fails, watch some good comedy every once in a while.
Hello /adv/
I know that intrusive thoughts are kinda common but I am in real crisis. Ive been having intrusive toughts for like 7 months and they are driving me crazy.
Ive been taking sertraline for 2 months, but I am not getting better, although sometimes it's easier to go through some of them I feel worse.
I live in constant anxiety, my intrusive thoughts breed my suicidal tendencies and my mood swings won't let me enjoy anything. I don't know what to do anymore, I don't want to die, there is someone special in my life however lastly she...

If you get an entirely free day (like a weekend), go on a really long walk. Bring some food if you like, but nothing too distracting.
Don't plan a route. Just find a footpath and go. You could use Google maps or something if you get lost and it'll clear your head out.
>>17354151
Well It doesn't work well, I do it kinda often and it doesn't help anyhow. To be honest it makes me depressed because I have to deal with myself for a longer time, I cant even deafen them
>>17354162
Oh, deafen them?
Music is your answer. Something catchy, something new. Maybe something with lyrics.
Possibly watch some videos about something interesting or a TV show.
Just set aside a day to yourself without your brain doing too much work.
Hi /adv/, I need some long-term advice to plan out my life:
I'm a 20 yo student in Chile (3rd year of university), and I'd really like to join a NGO or Foundation that will help me travel the world, meet people from other backgrounds and help out people if possible. Obviously, I'll do this when I get out of uni. I study Public Administration, so I will get training and education in Administration and Policies (among other disciplines), but I'm not a Medic to join Médecins Sans Frontières or an Engineer or something that has a more technical and pragmatic...

So hard to impress? It seems like all conversation just rolls right off of them
>>17354104
Why are you wasting time trying to impress frat boys? Most of them only care about partying, getting fucked-up/hammered, and banging sluts. No time for small talk.
play possum and they'll be stuffing your holes in no time
>>17354120
Cause if I can get in good with them I can get a fuck ton of social opportunities
