its k. keep on trying, if you really like making movies n shit, go for it.
i would prefer fewer cuts, and more organic camera movement.
>>17350355
I like it. Maybe more steady frames. But i think it's a 7

Awesome man ! Appreciate it! :D
Is it beta to straight up ask a woman that you've been flirting with what her intentions are regarding a possible relationship, i.e., if they are only flirting for fun or if they want to pursue something
Would a femanon be creeped out if a guy would ask you this?
I'd be weirded out. But that's because i only flirt with guys i'm imterested in pursueing something serious. Might not apply to every girl though
>>17350352
yes why don't you just ask her out desu
Don't. They don't always think in terms like that and you might make her insecure and ruin it all. It's up to you to make her stay.
Hey /adv/ I'd appreciate some advice and I have no-one else to ask.
I'm 24 years old, soon turning 25. Since I was 22 I've been working for a small tech company in an entry-level role which involves little more than data entry.
Would it be stupid and naive to quit my job without another job lined up? The idea of travelling doesn't appeal to me and I feel too old now to do the sort of things someone younger could get away with without appearing to be creepy or desperate in some way. I have ambitions in life, though they are not work-related,...

bumping for a response

Kill yourself,
I am not being mean, its just my life sucks too and its what I plan on doing tonight.
>>17350346
Sucks to be you. Not being sarcastic.
You probably know what to do. You're just looking for permission to do it.
I give you permission.
Any advice for first impressions at a new job?
>>17350301
Firm handshake, eye contact, smile and speak loud. Straight posture. Don't let them see you're nervous.
Goodluck anon
Is this an interview or first day of work ?
Kill the largest person there in order to receive a Klingon promotion. Make an example of them and mark your territory by pissing all over the place. make eye contact to the point that other people are scared of you. Your rule through fear will take you far.
I know people are going to be sexually attracted to multiple people in life, and charmed by many people in life. However, I'm wondering if it's a bad thing when your partner wants to have sex with random people in passing or on television.
I would use myself as a reference, but I'm only attracted to people once I get to know and like them. I'm not asserting that this is "better" or anything. I'm just trying to understand the mentality of, "I want to fuck that person I met in passing," and if it's a bad sign in a partner,...

Your partner is a degenerate. Nice choice, OP
>>17350304
Thanks for the detailed response.
OP, you may be demisexual. I know it sounds like one of those tumblr things, but it's perfectly legitimate. It just means you have to have strong emotioms before you wanna sex someone.
Hey /adv/, today I noticed that I have some very faint circles on my arm that range from small to big
I can barely see it with my eyes, but at certain positions it's visible
There's 3 circles on my right arm that form a circle, I don't know what it is as they just randomly appeared
I thought they were spider veins but I looked on google images and they're all purple, mine are not like that, mine are faintly red
What do?
They look kind of like pic related but range in sizes
Are they raised?
>>17350291
Ring worm?
I feel like my existence is a burden on the world and IDK how to cope with it. I work temporary jobs, and can't work ATM since I begin my studies soon. Mother says it's okay and I shouldn't feel bad but it just feels so terrible.
Was a strict vegan too until not too long ago, recently been breaking it here and there (No meat though, dairy and eggs) and every time I do I'm filled with massive guilt.
Why is it like that? What do?
>inb4 kys
Your craving for non-vegan foods is natural. It's not your fault that the meat industry is a nightmare. Also, getting an education you will use to better yourself and society (not to mention paying for it) gives back a lot.
>>17350310
Thanks anon...
Like yeah, the degree I'm going to get is something that'll get me to help lots of people. But until then I can't help but feel like a complete burden IDK.

You realize cows are in pain when they don't get milked right?
Unless it's some kind of protest against their living conditions (buy milk from companies with higher standarts) you not doing anyone any favors.
hey /adv/ so my roommate who I stupidly let use my amazon prime account is being a fucking cunt and i want to cut her off from the account. currently she's just using my credentials to log in so i was thinking a password reset would work? i saw on amazon's site that there's a registered devices section but i wouldn't know which one is hers because it just says "anon's 1st android device, 2nd android device, etc." so i guess i could just unregister all of them (if that even works). i just want to know for sure so that when i do it i know what...

You just change the password?? Literally not that complicated
>>17350287
just wanted to make sure that would boot her out and force her to re-login. i didn't want to change it if it wasn't going to work. but if you're 100% sure on that then cool, thanks.
Yeah, if she has your old password saved for automatic login it will reject her login because the new one hasn't replaced it yet
Want to travel around SEA and fuck a lot of bitches but I am very scared of STDs. Hate condoms because I am cutfag.
What do?
america has more stds than anywhere else
>>17350241
Ok that's just wrong
>>17350228
If you are planning on having sex with women in Southeast Asia who sell sex for money, or with women who hook up at short notice with random foreigners via hookup apps (most of these women are also at least gold-diggers, and as often as not freelancers, because slutting it up is not the local tradition, internet reputations notwithstanding), you're going to need to use condoms if you don't want to catch something. The risk of HIV/AIDS is probably slightly lower than you might think (not nonexistent, but...

So do you prefer getting paid weekly or monthly?
>>17350211
Weekly. I've never had a job that paid monthly.
Bi monthly, bi weekly, and weekly.
And, I strongly prefer weekly.
>mfw padding my bank account with 300 bucks each week, and the rest is bill/living money
This question is so weird, because where I'm from, you get paid once a month. No exceptions. It's weird to hear that people somewhere else get paid weekly or bi weekly. I'd rather take that than once a month.
>>17350211
It doesn't matter, as long as the pay is 100% on time.
Since that's a big issue atm in my country, weekly is the way to go.
The first and last girl I was sexually intimate with was a stunner and had the body of pic related. Sadly she was also emotionally mature and well-adjusted person.
How do I revert my standards?
>tfw I don't even look that good
>tfw I'm not attracted to generically attractive girls anymore
I know this sounds like humblebragging, but it's not!
>>17350193
>h-help guys
I'm feeling even more lonely than I did before
>>17350193
What happened to her anon?
>>17350358
Tl dr I was acting immature and young and needy. It started out so well but it's over. Now what turned her off in me is what turns me off in other girls ugh...
How do I lower my standards??!
>girl I'm dating is cute, waifu material
>but not hot/sexy
How do I deal with this feel?
>>17350176
By telling yourself she lets you put your d in her and you should be thankful you have a cute waifu
What do you mean? Isn't someone you're attracted to and find cute automatically sexy when they're naked and enthusiastic about fucking you?
Not sure if you mean that she's cute but not conventionally good looking or that she misses the right "vibe" or whatever.
>>17350192
I'm too ungrateful
>>17350198
She has a cute face but her body is really underwhelming.
So I'm a young person living at home and I'm looking into LaVeyan Satanism, but I have a problem.
Of course I have a fucking problem, otherwise I wouldn't be here.
I just read an article on churchofsatan.com about how electronic copies of the Satanic Bible are all bootleg and using them is unSatanic. Unfortunately I've spoke to my parents and they don't approve. They go in my room regularly and if they found a paperback copy they'd kill me.
What do?
Inb4: No, I'm not worried about going to Hell or insulting God or...

>>17350171
maybe if you'd read the fucking book you'd know that putting yourself in a disadvantageous situation for someone else's benefit is about as "unsatanic" as it gets
you're going to let some shitty website tell you how you're allowed to read? are you sure you're cut out for the philosophy behind this book and aren't just doing it to be edgy to your parents?
>>17350171
they're just saying electronic copies are no good so you'll have to buy a book, moron.
They're saying you're aa guillible idiot and you should give them money, moron.
Believe none of what you hear and half of what you see, And don't pay in time or money to listen.
My advice > any religion. Have fun.
It's a recent GF's bday (24) coming up (only been seeing each other a few months), so I just want to get her something cheap/silly that might amuse her, it's the thought that counts at this stage.
Any ideas? I will probably ebay something.
>>17350165
>doesn't know a girl well enough to pick something for a low-key birthday present
>asking the internet
What a stupid fucking idea, leave now while you still have a girlfriend and figure out something she likes you mong.

You're trying way, way too hard to get a reaction.

Dick in a box

I got my results back from my exam and i just about passed even though i spend countless hours studying. would rather kill myself than work a shit job. Would appreciate some advice. im 22.
>>17350164

>>17350164
was in the same boat.
stay active. DO SOMETHING
If you've played GTA 5 listen to what Michael says to his son. You're that son. I was that son. Get off your ass and do something. You won't find your strengths and interests by just consuming
Hope this helps
>also: https://vimeo.com/169914568
Another pro-tip: Not all university studies are academic paper-writing, although it might be in clapistan
>>17350164
Outline your work before you start it...
When you have due dates, mark them down, but also write down dates you need to start them, and break them into smaller pieces in-between.
After you complete writing assignments, read them out loud and make corrections, then read them out loud while recording it, play back the recording and make any corrections if needed.
If you can get audio recordings of books, do that. It's a fucking time saver. While you're listening to the books, pause it, jot down any notes, and press play.
Take notes on laptops or tablets. Only take hand written notes at home to jot down simple shit. Organize your notes like a formatted list for easy readability.
Cut your research time in half. Only get enough information you need to give a proper summary and build on that.
That's just a few things that will really help out.
