Hi /adv/,
So i have this problem:
I want to record audio on my pc via my headset(jack) but i have a buzz through when recording as well via the "Listen to this device" function in the recording-tab of the sound options. I have tried using different Microphones, headsets and headphones, but none of them seem to remove the buzz. I also used a ADC converter, but that didnt solve it either. After doing research on the internet i found that it might be static coming from the electricity. I then decided to look to see if the static would be gone if i'd use...

Before you did any of this, did you have access to or around a different computer where you might be able to rule out it was a computer issue; did you try doing everything on a separate computer?
>>17144282
Yes, i had a laptop with the same problem

When people say you should spend 30% of your income on rent what do they mean? 30% of it before or after taxes? Do I subtract my car insurance and phone bill and shit like that too?
>>17144266
It means 30% of your income, silly
I would imagine they mean gross income because that's what all other financial applications and formulas I've seen have been based on.
it means if you take home 3k a month you should only spend 1k maximum on housing to be able to afford your other bills and a comfortable lifestyle.
>>17144291
so my paycheck each month is 4k. i spend ~500 on car payment, insurance, and phone bill. is my take home pay 4k or 3.5k?
Thursday night I pulled an all nighter and took 120 mg of Adderall over the course of 12 hours. I fell asleep yesterday at about 5 PM, and now (almost 4 PM Saturday) I feel really light headed and tired. Is this part of the crash still or did I permanently fuck up my brain?

you know how to read? then go and fucking read up on how amphetamine works.

I never implied I knew how to read, so don't make assumptions about me ever again!

Sorry, you have about one week to live.
How do you guys deal with this? I have siblings who are 15(sister) and 17(brother) and they are some of the most entitled people I know. I'm 21 and graduating from college next month with a solid degree and a job. I plan to move out soon after graduating, but in the meantime I'm going crazy.
My siblings don't cook, clean (their rooms, bathrooms, anything), do good in school, or even have much going on. Sister just watches Netflix and reads YA and brother just plays ps4 until like 3am every night. I try to do my part and clean up, but when you have an additional...

fuck them, if your parents are too spineless to raise their kids then leave them alone to suffer once you're out of there.

You live with teenagers, congratulations. Unless these are really bad examples, you've got very little to complain about.
How stupid do you think it is that someone is willingfully trying to fall in love for someone else?
I'm literally trying to force myself into falling in love for someone.
And it's not a genertic someone, I actually have a clear girl in mind, and am actively trying to feel (romantic) love for that person.
>>17144172
>willingfully trying to fall in love
>trying to
>willingfully
So you mean somebody can be forced to fall in love with someone? :-D
This sounds like 4chan's level of stupid. Does the target of your "soon to love" even know this? And HOW ARE YOU DOING THIS?
>>17144249
>Does the target of your "soon to love" even know this?
No, but she has an explicit interest in me.
>HOW ARE YOU DOING THIS?
Back in higschool I had a crush for her, it was one of those really strong crushes. I'm not sure if you can call it love. But by then we never talked to each other.
We ended up following the same paths in life (careers) and now we talk a lot to each other.
She confessed to me. Neither...

Are you currently in a relationship with her? I'm a little confused by your phrasing.
I'm four months into a relationship and my boyfriend likes to bring up marriage and kids and how beautiful our half asian half white kids will be, who's gonna teach them how to ride a bike, etc. I don't mind since I really like this guy, but he's only young and 19. Is there any red flags or is there anything I should look out/know or? It's a little weird, yeah, but I think it's cute.
As long as he rocks your world it's all fine.
>>17144159
It fine as long as it is just talk, I enjoy talking about this with girls before it is fun to imagine but in reality I am thinking 10 years from now.
If he is pressing you for early marriage and kids at a young age because of cultural reason than it may be a problem.
But I would put it down to being cute and shows that he really likes you.
>>17144159
LOL is he the white one in the relationship?
What the fuck do I tell a woman who keeps telling me she looks hideous in response to her getting an allergic reaction on her face. She is horribly self conscious.
I just want to cheer her up a bit. Don't want her to take it the wrong way that I'm into her.
Also one of my male friends busted open my brow last night, had to get stitches. He feels absolutely fucking awful and guilty about it even though I've said multiple times that it's fine, how do I make him not feel so guilty?
Please give me advice on how to communicate with people.
Why do you hang out with such messed up people?

Hey adv, a few days ago due to a misunderstanding a fried (not really a close one anymore, but I tried to keep her in my circle since she's had some pretty smart and cool moments) blew the fuck up and basically threatened to create a twitter movement against me. I had to talk her down, mostly by beating up on myself a lot since she's a pretty big activist on campus.
Keep in mind this is not a political thing: our politics are pretty similar. That's not the issue here.
The issue here is that I know someone who's essentially manic-depressive,...

To clarify, I don't think she COULD actually launch a Twitter campaign to ruin my life. I think she's torpedoed her reputation with a large number of people. But I'm paranoid it COULD happen.
So it's true what they say about you college sjws, you really do eat eachother alive in boredom

If anybody told me this I think I would run away laughing my ass off.

Yea mate, this can TOTALLY RUIN YOUR political career. Not life.

I would say a bit naive.

So let me get this straight. You want to take a loan for your mum? Do you even have a job?
Also your English is top notch. I could decrypt only something.
Advice for you: get your English skill together, maybe learn how to talk with somebody over phone and maybe later even in person and DON'T take LOANS on YOUR HEAD EVEN FOR FAMILY. If somebody will end up as a homeless, let it be your mum, not you. Jezus.

Nah nah nah. A loan of my own.(Probably should have put context)
She basically tried to help me,get my own loan from the bank because money is tight since the dad's job doesn't make,enough money and my ssi comes in once a month.
I didn't want a loan and was ok with being broke for now. But with how much of a fit she gets when someone says no to her and how thick of a skull she has, I went with her.

And I tend to rush things, so typing from the phone makes me clueless about the auto correct fixing my words even though I am using normal words like "inside" and such.
My grades are shit and I feel like shit, Life just seems like a downwards spiral. I absolutely hate everyone around me and I don't see how this life thing is going to work out.
I'm not going to kill myself, its just that the rules of life suck.

was looking up quotes, and thought this one made GREAT advice.
share little bits of advice or quotes you've heard?
If you want to know how your girl will treat you after marriage, just listen to her talking to her little brother. - Sam Levenson
What if she doesn't have a brother huh? What then, faggot? What use would your shit-tier quote have then, huh?
here, let me tell you a real god-tier quote:
"Fuck bitches, get money"

Haha, I love this one. It was on one of my favorite shows.
Yo /adv/, can anyone tell me if this would work? What kind of backlash could it have? I was thinking of using my Target REDcard to make a large purchase, but have it tied to an account I hardly use. That way it'll take a few days to process and the account will simply be negative that amount, then I'll steadily pay deposit the balance back in to cover it over the course of a few months. Cheaper and safer than credit or Rent-A-Center, yes?
No. Because your bank will charge you a fee every so often for having a negative balance. This could actually hurt your credit as well in some situations.
There is nothing unsafe about actual credit if you're not a retard with it.
>>17143894
you never ever want your account to be negative if you can help it. there are fees associated with it and quite a few other downsides. don't spend money you don't have unless it's for something really important.
Does the place you're purchasing from offer a credit card? Most have deals with no interest for a year if you purchase over a certain amount.
Can you not get a credit card from your bank? Most banks also offer no interest for up to the first year.
Why are people so afraid of credit cards? You need to build credit by making monthly payments on time. I have 2 credits I use all the time. I've probably had about 9 different credit cards over the years from making big purchases. I've been using credit cards for about 14 years and never been late on a...

Is there a way to find out who unfriends me on facebook?
If you go to their page, and they're no longer friends with you when they once were, that means they've unfriended you.
>>17143889
Cuckbook is intended to be a "friendly" place, so you aren't allowed to directly see who unfriends you. However, you can download profile data once a while, find the file with your friend list and compare it to an older version in some spreadsheet software.

after you took care of it, it imprinted on you, so now it thinks you're its human.

i thought cats' brains didn't think like that?
how the fuck did it find me too? i fed it like 2 streets from my house
>>17143859
any animals' brains think like that, especially if they're domestic. if they imprint on you, they see you as a protector or a caretaker and memorize your features and smell. it seems quite obvious from this post that this is just a small domestic cat, not feral, not raised in the bushes. it's hard to explain, but the best thing to do is just ignore the cat and really pretend it doesn't exist. you could also put spices or whatever to deter the cat away from your home. i'm not sure what people...
