Any advices on how to ask for a raise, /adv/?
I work at a cvs warehouse in hawaii and I'm getting like 9.18/hr for back breaking work. First our receiving team only has two people, me and my supervisor, who doesn't do shit but criticize my work. I never got any appreciation from her ever since I started working here. Note that I transfered here from anowhere store that does the same job. Another thing is that before I started working here, they could somehow afford to have 2 supervisors. After one of them left I asked if I could go for the supervisor job. Wouldn't you know, I got denied. In my mind, I would think they'd eventually bump up my pay. But no. I need help man. My parents refuse to help with fafsa and I gotta pay for school out of pocket. I'm tempted to quit right now but I gotta try first. Any tips and tricks?

Who the fuck puts a warehouse in hawaii?
No wonder they can't afford to pay you shit, they have to fly in and out all goods.
If you thought semi's made a lot of money, try cargo pilots out.
>>17354040
Your supervisor doesn't like your work and you have no way to demonstrate that you're being undervalued. Sounds like you need to find a new job since you're going to have one hell of a time getting a raise. Also, your story reeks of bias but that's not important right now.
Hey anons,
What happens after you die?
>>17354001
Why would anything happen? You're dead.
You respawn at the last bonfire you rested at
>>17354001
Nobody knows for sure.
Some even theorize that we never die at all: the hypothesis is called quantum immortality. It's an offshoot of the many-worlds hypothesis: the idea that everything which COULD happen, DOES happen, somewhere in the universe. Quantum immortality posits that consciousness can only exist in timelines where events and decisions come about to continually prevent its cessation. Thus, while you may exist in many timelines, your consciousness only "rides" those timelines where you go on living. If you would die, your consciousness stops riding those timelines, but continues to ride all others, and you never notice the difference because you were already there.
Tips on homeschooling my brothers?
Theyre 10,5,and 4.
The 4 year-old is a high functioning autistic. The 10yo is behind on his work, same as 5yo.
Will provide more info if needed.
The most important thing is to be patient with them. If there's something they don't understand, try simplifying it a bit. Avoid just giving them the answers, and try pushing them forward having them figuring it out. The only time you should consider the opposite is on the very first question, to show an example of how to solve.
Why are you depriving your brothers of social interaction?
Isn't this site warning enough as to why this is a bad idea?

To be honest, what was she doing ?
Neither of you are in highschool so this coy shit sounds extremely out of place if you guys really were flirting
>>17353992
did she say yes to the date?
What is this shit on my neck? I've had it for years. Even my dermatologist doesn't know. He said it could be acne barbae but I'm almost certain it isn't. Not fungal either, got a lab test done.
>my dermatologist doesnt know
>maybe strangers on the internet will know
dude
>>17353974
Give him a break. He's obviously functionally retarded.
>>17353974
Shit man, I didn't realize this was /gofuckyourself/, my bad.
I'm 20 now. I haven't had any ambitions my whole life. When I was a kid my mom always put me somewhere YMCA, music classes, martial arts but as much as I maybe enjoyed some of these at the beginning I quickly lost interests and at the end I ended up with nothing.
I never knew what to do with my life. I went to business high school just because I knew that it's gonna be easy to get through and I'm gonna go to college anyway (there are two types of schools where I live after which you can go to college, this is the easier one).
I never did really good at school, not because I was stupid but because I've never really seen a point of getting good marks when you're gonna get through anyway. Because of this my mom took me to several kid psychologists to find out what's wrong with me, all of them told me and her that I'm more intelligent than the average and hearing that only made me screw everything even more.
Now I'm at college, just as I planned but lately I've been starting to realise that this is the last checkpoint. After this I'm gonna be free and I don't know if I will handle all this world. As I said I never knew what I'll be doing in the future and this starts to scare the shit out of me. I never wanted to be a millionaire, I never wanted expensive shit, big houses, cars or models. All I'm gonna ever need is a job that will cover expenses for food, rent and my addictions. But I don't know if I'll be happy.
Always been a realist and now I see it like I'm gonna just kill myself in my late twenties. Seriously I don't know a person who is more lost in this world than me, it's kind of embarassing but it's a really big question that is hovering over life of every one of us.
>>17353944
Yeah, I fucked around a lot in school. In college now, but it doesn't motivate me enough. Parents tried pushing me into all kinds of hobbies, didn't take. I'm fine with being a receptionist the rest of my life. After I finish college, that'll be it for me.
But then I got a boyfriend. At first, it was just a nice passing thing, didn't care much. But now he sprung on me that he's moving to Philly and wants me to move in with him - that I don't even have to help pay the rent and he'll take care of me and all that shit. Obviously I won't allow that, because I can take care of my own damn self. But man did those words move something in my lazy, dead heart. Maybe I'm trying harder now because I finally have something to work towards.
I feel out of place, lost, unable to fit in with other people, but reading something that wrote somebody who feels like me give a little break. I don't think that i'm more intelligent than anybody but i see things, moments and situations in a very different approach, maybe we see the world as really is and that make us feel tired and disappointed, but i think that those who can see the truth can make a change, doesn't matter if is a little one, it's still a change. Don't give OP, life is hard but we can get harder.
Ps. Good music and great people make it less shitier.
>>17353972
I'm not gonna lie to myself about being lazy. I know I'm lazy but it's hard not to be lazy while you're not seeing point in anything you are doing.
Currently I'm at my happiest phase of my life, I met a girl who makes me happy and with which I spent most of my time, never really met anyone I'd get along better, we would be the best couple but fuck me, she is lesbian. But she's like a sister to me, it's great.
I hate my voice. It's really nasally, and I got a girls number today and asked her out to the movies and my voice fucking cracked. What are some techniques so that by friday I'm talking like a normal person. I'm specifically asking stage actors, singers, or anyone who has had to modulate their voice somehow.
>>17353942
Check youtube. There are plenty of pros teaching you tricks to practice how to properly utilize your voice.
Drink hot sauce and lemon juice to open up your throat. Then speak from your diaphragm rather than from your chest like people instinctually do. Voice should come out way smoother
>>17353942
>by Friday
Fucking nothing lol.
How about stop being a vagina and quit being self-conscious about something as dumb as your voice. That's like being self-conscious about the color of your hair or your eyes or some shit.
pleas help

This bait tastes shitty
Drunk here. Anyone got any advice or stories on Battling the booze? Got liver problems and it's gonna kill me.
stop
>>17353879
Drink more booze until that feeling goes away. Then eventually all of your feeling will go away once your liver looks like Swiss cheese.
Right before you go to the liquor store... Don't.
Or tell your regular clerk you're trying to quit and that if you come in there for a drink not to sell it to you.
I'm a clerk at a liquor store and customers have done that before.
Usually I won't see them for a few months, then they'll come back and want a shot, and then they're a regular again.
I'm a salesman, so I don't give a fuck about their well being, but who knows, yours might have a heart and even call an AA rep for ya.
So...meeting your gf/bf's parents for the first time. How can I make sure this doesn't end up like cringe central?
Mothet talks way too much, Dad is a super stoic strong silent type who can't small talk for shit.
I must know the secrets. Please help, or at least share promising stories of meeting parents for the first time.
>>17353860
*mother
Apologies for the typo.
>>17353860
You can't avoid it, especially if they're white. Haven't you seen Meet the Parents?
>>17353866
Oh fuck, you're right. Maybe I'll just kill myself now and avoid the entire process. At least if they meet at my funeral, I won't be around to experience the awkwardness.
Hi /adv/. 25/m here.
Sooo. I pretty much fucked up my life and the realization just hit me.
About a year ago i got into a big fight with a couple of my friends. We stopped talking and hanging out. I only maintained contact with few of those. Fast forward a few weeks and the girl of one of those "Ex-friends" hits on me. Sure, i do not talk with that dude anyway and since i had some serious feelings about the girl i decide to go for it. She breaks up a few weeks later and for a month and something things were going smoothly. Then all hell broke loose.
She was having second thoughts mainly because the guy was pathetic and was practically begging her to come back. In the end she broke up with me after another month of rollercoaster feelings. A break up is tough no matter what but still it hit me badly. I cut all ties with her and went on with my life.
The thing is, i knew her and all those guys for about 3 years now and never really understood how much they gave me, how much they changed me and how much of a jackass i was. I tried to recall what i was doing with my life and what the hell i was before i met them and i realised they were the reason i matured as a person. This came as the finishing blow in a series of events that only now became clear to me.
I am 25yo, i work in a job that has no future prospects, i am still in the university and i simply roll along with no desire to get my degree. Relations with my family are completely broken and even though i have lots of friends, none of them feel close to me. It seriously feels like i am alone with no purpose, no achievements and not a single soul to trust them with how i feel. I feel like i am in a swamp with noway out.
TLDR: just read the last part.
So, what can i do to get out of this hellhole?
PS: English is not my mother tongue so kindly forgive any mistakes.
>>17353850
I'm even worse. I live with my ex since we broke just a few months ago. The friends i had are her friends now and they cut me off (not that i care after all what happened). Basically sometimes she treat me like shit and i ignore. I have no job (but looking for one). And everyone i tell my story just tells me to kick her ass (which i don't want to do since i consider myself to be a good person, i feel bad for that and i still like her as a person).
What i've been trying to do is just move on with my things. I have no close relationship with my family as well, so i'm trying to do my thing. Get a job, struggle hard and get out of this hole everyone dig alongside me.
You don't really need much friends imo. Just follow your heart on things. Do what you love and think it's right. About it.
>>17353875
Cont.
Imo things won't get better to us from day to night. We will have to work a lot in every aspect to get things fixed.
For fucks sake anons this isn't THAT bad. You could have HIV or cancer, it just sounds like you're going through rough spots. Man the fuck up.
I saw this girl at a bus stop playing Pokemon go. I play too and I wanted to talk to her but then I thought "you are black and she is Mexican, her family would eat your pleb ass alive. "
I am plagued by these weird these weird self hate stereotyping thoughts. For example, I pretty much don't flirt with chunky(not fat) girls because I fear that one stereotype about black dudes dating morbidly obese women.
I am just super ashamed about being black. I feel super aware about it. I actively stay out of situations that would remind me. I am not into that BLM stuff either. I think it's s one sided hoax which blatantly ignores facts.
Help. Particularly in the interacting with women part. I don't even like talking with a lot black women because usually they are all about that BLM.
so you're upset that you don't purse some loser playing a video game at the bus stop or fat girls?
>>17353843
The best way to talk to a girl of a different race, is the same as talking to a girl of a similar race: with confidence, comedy, and comfort. You are the person who cares the most about your race and cultural outlooks, so work towards your norms, and pay no mind to those whos ideals may, or may not come into conflict with your own.
I don't buy your story. I think your worry over your race is a smokescreen that is hiding something more important. Like a symptom of an illness: you sneaze, but the flu is what makes you sick, not the sneaze.
Whatever the insecurity is, you gotta dig deep and work to resolve it.
>>17353843
So you happen to have dark skin - big fucking deal. I guarantee the only person making a big deal out of it is you. And the blm shit heads who actually believe their cause will bring good things.
Get over yourself and talk to whoever you find attractive about whatever you want. The end.
How do I kill somebody without getting blamed for it, /adv/?
>>17353815
dont get caught
>WELL DUH BUT IM ASKING HOW
we dont know everything. you dont know everything. the police are a wild card no matter how detailed our instructiosn are you can still get caught.
the best way is to pay someone else to do it.
Obviously there is no detailed how-to step-by-step answer to this. It depends on so many circumstances that no one can get into them, especially on a random imageboard.
First of all those hitman agencies and shit on the deep internet you probably heard about are horse shit. They don't exist. Simple as that. If you want to kill someone the safest way is to do it yourself.
Now, to do that you must have no obvious motive that others know about. If you would be suspected by default you will most likely get caught. If this is the case you should give up on it. If they start interrogating you it's already over.
The place and time are very important. You must do it at a place and time when no one will see you. If there are ocular witnesses you are most likely fucked. This is probably the trickiest part, as you have to lure the target somewhere isolated without anyone having knowledge of it. How you do that I can't tell you as, again, it's highly circumstantial. You need creativity and caution for this. If your target happens to go on isolated places by themselves then you're in luck, but that rarely happens. Again, this is the hardest part. If you manage to get them in the middle of nowhere without anyones knowledge you're set. At this point the instrument of murder doesn't matter too much, you can shoot them, stab them, bash their head with a rock until they're dead, whatever.
After that you need to make sure the body won't be found. Again, circumstantial, you can bury it, throw it in the sea, feed it to pigs, whatever is easiest and safest for you. Again, get creative! Also make sure to destroy and hide the remains of everything you wore or used when doing it. Burn the clothes, destroy the weapon and bury whatever remains of them.
Also don't try poison, it usually doesn't work, don't try to come up with fancy alibis, don't involve others, don't talk about their disappearance unless someone else brings up the subject.
>>17353818
>pay others
no
Just had sex with a person who had a reputation for being promiscuous. We used a condom but now I am worried, should I be? he was a trap and I was a dom.
>>17353808
Traps are always promiscuous and thrive on sexual attention. Get tested.
>>17353817
Yeah I will. Hoping that the protection the condom gave was enough.
I feel so stupid, I know these people are walking std factories, I should have gone with better judgement.
>>17353829
Condoms help but aren't 100 percent. Anal mucus can come into contact with your skin or slip it's way into the condom. Was this just a random hook up?
What are cool tattoo sleeves for a white boi? I Keep thinking a Japanese dragon would be super cool but I'm a white boi. I want something for white bois that wont look stupid. What are some ideas?
>boi
>boi
>boi
Stop that.
Terrible idea. Canadian or Finnish dragons only.
>>17353796
its hard to make a sleeve out of a Canadian or Finnish dragon they don't really snake around that much like Japanese dragons.
