How do you know if you're gay or straight if you can't ever get it up?
You don't determine sexuality through erections...

My life's a lie.
you might be bisessual
I need some help. I'm sick of living pay check to paycheck. I want to go help other humans in need in some third world country. Problem is that all the ones I've found cost at least $2k for a month or more. I just want to help people in a less fortunate country, is there a way to do this without paying? I don't have that kind of money laying around. This isn't an impulsive decision I've been thinking about it for many years, so please don't try to convince me not to do it.

do you have to pay to do habitat of humanity? there are plenty of places that dont cost a thing, but they arent glamorous.

I'm not sure but they, like Peace Corps are looking for people with college degrees.
How the fuck is it normal to choose a college major that will determine the trajectory of your life without knowing how you would fair in such an environment? I'm getting great grades in community college but I'm changing classes every semester because all I have to go from is my imagination and naive notions.
Counselors haven't been helpful. They seem to push agendas or try to tell me to pick the "best" major without helping me find a good choice for me.

>How the fuck is it normal to choose a college major that will determine the trajectory of your life without knowing how you would fair in such an environment?
It's not, unless you're following meme degrees. What's normal is to study a subject that you already have some interest in, and done a little reading on. In this situation, the "risk" is drastically reduced.

the world is unfortunately flawed. generally speaking in the first two years of college you are supposed to get your Gen ed out of the way, look into degree options, take classes from the ones that interest you, then proceed to spend your bachelor years working towards that.
its still hella flawed. but thats the way life is at the moment. you can do a more general exploration by working at and interning at all the fields that interest you.

I don't understand what you aren't understanding. I'm indecisive because when I decide on something I usually build up expectations to motivate myself, always to be torn down later once I've put in a fair amount of study and realize how dull the acedemia is once you pass surface level. When I realize that I've been working hard towards goals that I have no real incentive besides money, I become unhappy and feel compelled to make a change, continuing in a cycle.
"Mark your calendars. Sept. 25th 2016, will be a significant date in our history." Saw this on fb. Can I report this nigger to the police?
he's finally gonna drop his mixtape
it's probably just some stupid Jesus stuff. one of the more notable Catholic gospels will be shared that day.
Jesus said to the Pharisees:
“There was a rich man who dressed in purple garments and fine linen
and dined sumptuously each day.
And lying at his door was a poor man named Lazarus, covered with sores,
who would gladly have eaten his fill of the scraps
that fell from the rich man's table.
Dogs even used to come and lick his sores.
When the poor man died,
he was carried away by angels to the bosom of Abraham.
The rich man also died and was buried,
and from the netherworld, where he was in torment,
he raised his eyes and saw Abraham far off
and Lazarus at his side.
And he cried out, 'Father Abraham, have pity on me.
Send Lazarus to dip the tip of his finger in water and cool my tongue,
for I am suffering torment in these flames.'
Abraham replied,
‘My child, remember that you received
what was good during your lifetime
while Lazarus likewise received what was bad;
but now he is comforted here, whereas you are tormented.
Moreover, between us and you a great chasm is established
to prevent anyone from crossing who might wish to go
from our side to yours or from your side to ours.’
He said, ‘Then I beg you, father,
send him to my father’s house, for I have five brothers,
so that he may warn them,
lest they too come to this place of torment.'
But Abraham replied, ‘They have Moses and the prophets.
Let them listen to them.’
He said, ‘Oh no, father Abraham,
but if someone from the dead goes to them, they will repent.’
Then Abraham said, ‘If they will not listen to Moses and the prophets,
neither will they be persuaded if someone should rise from the dead.’”
none of significance, it's just a bunch of hokey pokey.

A nigger releasing a mixtape? It'd be a significant in history date if he didn't
Hey guys,
So I'm ina relationship going on a year and a half now and have no idea what to do. I tried to break up with her not too long ago. She's amazing in so many ways, and also impossible in others. We have the same basic interests but so many fundamental differences that go along with that.
She's my best friend and I don't want to lose her. she's also too much sometimes and I have begun to really think I need to do more work on myself before I'm in something so serious.
Another thing is that I'm only 22. About to finish school...

break up with her?
just becuase you get along with someone sometimes doesn't mean you are obligated to stay with them forever. its okay to enrich each others lives for a little while.
you cant realistically marry your high school sweet heart. college sweet heart isn't much better.
its okay to be single. its okay to move on. its okay to say 'this isn't what i want anymore'. you are not a bad person for simply experiencing life.
honestly even if you were it'd be MORE shitty to stay with someone you really dont want to...

Get your shit together before attempting to share your life with someone else.
Same goes probably for her too.
Your relationship is beyond repair. The advice is only for future reference.

>I tried to break up with her
What does that even mean? How do you try to break up with someone and fail?
How do I control my sex drive? This is the first girlfriend I have ever had and I can't seem to control my sex drive with her. We literally have sex everyday multiple times a day, it makes my dick sore but I can't seem to stop it also makes her sore too. It effects my work because I am always worn out from it all though I am not nearly as stressed out. Ive also pretty much gotten addicted to going inside of her raw, she takes the pill everyday but I just can't seem to pullout anymore.
Any advice please because it really does drain me and seems to be a problem....

Bumpo
>>17158254
I remember when I was 16. Take it down a notch really. You're creating a necessity to do so. So you have to wean yourself slightly to find the right balance. Or fap more. Either way sounds like a good problem to have
Bump again.
Guys I need your take on this. TL;DR Girl is playing mind games.
I regularly hang out with people from my class.
Last week I was hanging out with some of them in a pub. I usually chat with all of them, but theres this one female that I have been eyeing for a while. We talk without any problems and the conversations seem to be more flirty than just friendly. However I don't usually start this, she does. We don't really have any history with each other. She asked me once if I wouldn't like to go somewhere with her and I said yes, but nothing came out of...

Doesn't matter what she's after. She's playing with you, move on.

>>17158231
these don't seem like very deep mindgames.
we can assume he isn't completely happy with the bf/relationship she's in.
we can guess/hope that there might be some real kind of chemistry between her and OP
in all likelyhood she doesn't know what she's after. young people in long relationships have often broken up several times and then they get back together and that staying together inertia can get really fucked up. also sometimes people just fall out of love but the person...

hey /adv/
interview w/int'l company on skype
already researched clothing customs of said company and country location, same as USA
so /adv/ business formal, business casual, dressy casual?
pic related, me w/three examples
fyi wife says jacket, kids say tie only
Your wife has shit taste because that jacket makes you look fatter and it's overwhelming. Listen to the kids and go with the second or third option.
the blazer makes you look like a bit of a cunt while the shirt and tie makes you look like a right nutty geezer
go shirt and tie
>>17158156
The tie looks good. Fuck the jacket.
Iron that shirt again too
hi /adv/ me and my wife have been married for 6 years now and i can go on with a really long list of amazing things we've done together but that's not what i came here for
the thing is, most of our family from both of our sides, including some of our friends and neighbors kept insisting for us to have at least one or two kids for our marriage
both of us decided to not have any kids at all, because truthfully we both don't like babies or kids nor do we think we both would make good parents
i usually brush off any kind of pressure from the others...

NO. Don't let someone force you into doing something you don't want. If you don't want kids, don't have them.
Make up a lie about how you're sterile or something, and you can't have kids. Maybe then people will stop pestering you. Hang in there, OP.
If you don't want kids for fucks sake please don't have kids. You will ruin their lives and probably get divorced because of them, they will grow up disliking you etc. And don't lie about it to your family/friends. Stand up for your decision to not have kids, fuck their opinions.
>>17158159
does telling people that i'm sterile really work though? i don't really want to start a rumor
>>17158168
that's exactly what we thought, it's just that it's been really hard for my wife lately
I want to apply to a boat building school in my area. The program is a year long, and costs 30 grand. I'm 25 with no debt or savings. Will it be worth it? I've never cared much about living standards or quality of life, I just do what I like. I've been a sailor for 12 years and right now I build beer breweries in a metal fab shop, so I figure I have enough experience with both my hands and around boats for this to be a good fit for me. I am just worried about paying off this debt if I went through with it, 30 grand would take me a long time. I've never had...

WHAT I LEARNED IN BOATING SCHOOL IS
Boats are gay.
Lift weights.

What if you don't like it? That's a lot of money to gamble on a career with.
I am lazy. I don't want to work. I don't want to play video games, watch anime, read books, draw, or even ever go outside. I want to stop existing. If I don't kill myself I'll just be a burden on my parents until they die. Help me kill myself /adv/.
>>17158106
if you wanted to kill yourself you'd just do it. even if you couldnt figure it out, you'd just google 'easiest ways to kill myself'.
if i had to guess i could give you the easiest most fool proof way to die (jump off the tallest building) and you'd still rationalize it with 'I ONCE HEARD OF A GUY WHO FELL OFF OF A MUCH SMALLER BUILDING AND SURVIVED PARALYZED ID NEVER WANT THAT TO HAPPEN'
thus indicating that you dont actually want to die. this is why you reached...

Take knife and slit your throat.
>b-but that'll hurt!
Then you don't really want to die.
Nothing we can say will control your finger and pull the trigger for you. Even if you've resolved to never do anything again, you still have to put in effort to kill yourself.
Hey, /adv/. Just wanted to thank you guys.
I was on here a few weeks ago. Told you all that I got my M.S. in Physics, and that I had applied for more than 200 jobs with no luck. Followed your advice and got a job within two weeks. You guys are the best.
Do you guys have any tips for my first day?
