Does starvation hurt? It doesn't feel that bad being hungry so I might aswell stop eating all together and end my shitty life already.
Of course it does. Starving people in third world countries even take painkillers just to soothe the hunger pains.
That's a pretty dumb way to kill yourself. Stop being retarded and live life normally

as someone with anorexia nervosa; nope! no pain. my teeth feel a little loose and my immune system is shot; but the stats say i will die of complications like organ failure or heart disease in about ten yrs.
guess it depends on how srsly you starve yourself, for how long it takes, and if any asshole fambly will commit you to treatment
garbage bag over head and tied firmly around neck asphyxiates. you basically fall asleep with a sort of headache and don't wake up.
i guess the moral thing...

Need some advice here, guys. I got a female friend who's really interested in me and coming onto me strongly. Problem is, she's black and I'm not sure if I am really attracted to black women. We've been close for many years so I see her as a really great friend but I'm not sure if I can see her in a romantic light. Should I take the plunge even if I'm not sure if I'm attracted to her because of her race?
>>17089699
I'm not attracted to black people either. Im not even racist (German) I just think them physically repulsive. There are only very veeeeery few (half black) exceptions to this rule. Really. If you don't feel the same its probably only in your head (you racist faggot).
Just kidding. Probably I feel stronger repulsion than you because I'm female and designed to be pickier by evolution?
I would like a qt black gf please

Nice one
Man this is gonna sound like such humblebrag bullshit, but...
I have recently been given a job opportunity where I could move to Ireland. In terms of money, career and overall life and financial security this is a huge break for me.
But,how attractive are women in Ireland on average? More specifically how hot are women in Ireland on average.
The reasons this is legitimately deciding factor are as follows:
Where I live the average woman is quite attractive. In my opinion, 8s and up. I once had a job that had me engage with tourists a lot and Americans...

I don't know much about Irish women but, if you're being offered this and would be deterred by the prospect of being surrounded by ugly women, you are a dumbass.
>>17089693
It depends on your taste. This woman is considered attractive in Ireland.

>this is gonna sound like such humblebrag bullshit
followed by humblebrag bullshit. Good thing I only skimmed it. People like you are so fucking intolerable as soon as you open your mouth "Man I have this horrible problem (proceed to idiotically transparent bragging"
Next time you do that IRL slap yourself in the fucking face, you deserve it.
How do I stop being a hopeless romantic? I go into every relationship with unrealistic expectations and end up being really heart broken. I just want to be one of those people that's grounded and goes with the flow.
>>17089646
Stop entering relationships just because.
>>17089646
you need a couple of relationships like that, you will learn.
Im 29, and if i could go back in time 10 years i would kick myself for crying for some bitches.

Have any of you had a laceration or surgical incision scar become painful years after it's occurrence?
I was stabbed with a small knife when I was a teenager and the old stitched up scar has become very puffy and sensitive over the last few days. This morning it was completely full of blood and was protruding from my gut. I applied a little bit of pressure and it burst open, it's been bleeding for a few minutes now.
Does this sound like an infection, or just the product of a possible skin condition? I have psoriasis and if it makes a difference there...

Is it bleeding profusely or just sort of trickling? It might've just been some really irritated hair follicle on the scar tissue.
Or it might've been a slight hemorrhage from being stabbed in the gut.
Keep the wound clean and monitor it for any kind of pus or infection over the next day or two. If it starts doing anything weird, immediately go to a doctor.
>>17089627
I suppose it's just trickling, but initially it was coming out pretty fast. There's no pus or any kind of mass or fluids other than blood at the moment, but it seems like after I drain it, that area of tissue fills right back up with blood again and keeps seeping out
Huh. In the old days, that was a sign of Vitamin C deficiency, if it came with bad breath and your teeth falling out. Scurvy, lol.
OP, go to the doc. If it is an infection, the scarring can be a great pathway for the infection to get into your gut cavity, which you don't want.
I'm not a doc, but have paramedic training, long ago. Go get checked out, serious. If the doc sends you home with a band-aid and antibiotics, you'll be comfortable because you had a diagnosis. Not knowing what's up will suck, anyhow, and while you might be fine, 'might be' is a shitty gamble.
Holy shit I keep grinding my teeth and clenching them together real hard. I'm afraid I'll grind them away or chip a tooth or something. It makes my jaw hurt. Can I get any help?

Go buy a mouth guard from a pharmacy
>>17089601
Don't get a pharmacy night guard. Get a professionally fit one (yes, it's expensive as hell). It will save you much pain and ortho expense down the road. The material is made such that it trains your jaw to relax as you're sleeping since it's kinda springy. However, I've ground my way through 2 night guards in my life but it's better than the headache inducing TMJ that can associate with bruxism
I have what you have, it's called bruxism. Get a night guard from your dentist, they can mold one to your mouth. it is expensive but it will be cheaper than having to get a tooth fixed. I also recommend trying to get TMJ-specific massage to try to relax the muscles. Here's a guide to help you do it yourself but professional is better. http://www.massagetoday.com/archives/2004/12/05.html
You can't easily fix tooth grinding at night but you can be aware of it during the day. Periodically check your jaw and relax it if you're grinding. You can hold the...

Visiting London at the moment. Are there any places you would recommend that aren't overcrowded by tourists?
Nope! Welcome to London.

OP,
Never. NEVER. NEVER! Work for free. Goddamn, where is your father? He should have made that clear when you were still a kid.
My suggestion, go to your slavemaster, and tell them you have interviews coming up, you've scheduled them outside of the time when you plan on being there, but you can't afford to work for free, and would like to know whether or not you're wasting your time allowing them to profit from your work without compensation.
Never do that shit again. You need a slap upside your head for agreeing to it.

THIS, OP.
Literally don't do another second of work for them. Ask to get paid, and if they don't then quit.

Isn't relevant unpaid experience better than irrelevant paid experience?
Sometimes I wonder if there really is anyone for me out there.
I'm honestly not all that interesting. Kinda a blank slate, I kinda spend most of my free time sitting around the house playing games or listening to music. Most new people I meet think I'm really boring because I don't really have much to talk about. I've tried picking up new hobbies but I've been very hard pressed to find new things that interest me (plus I'm really really bad at teaching myself new things).
On top of that, I'm not the easiest person to put up with...

>>17089515
I'm a guy tho, thanks for the offer I guess
OK, look, OP, get over yourself.
If you've got a shitty self-image, you need to do something that you can be proud of. I'd suggest doing that through work or a hobby, and mastering it.
If you're going to float through life, and it sounds like you are, so far, you're not going to get shit, because you haven't earned it.
... and i know that you totally understand. You're obviously not an idiot. But you ARE going to have to get up off your ass and make some sort of changes, perhaps starting with not opening up by listing exactly...

Is there a reason to live if I have depression and anxiety?
I have a huge problem. I was a neet after getting my diploma and when I have finally decided to get a grip and apply for university, I find out that I need a testimonial from my lecturer. The thing is it's been 4 years since I graduated and I have been doing nothing but part-time jobs. I was able to find his email but i have no idea what to say
Hmmmm. Normally, I'd say contact the admissions department of the university, and ask them. I know a few guys who entered university in their mid 20's and early 30's, but they all had careers and military experience, etc. Saying that you were a useless vampire who stayed at mommy's tit for too long probably won't tickle their pickles.
#1, I'd be resentful towards your enablers for helping you fuck yourself this much.
#2, you may need to wait a while and do something worth talking about before getting what you want. Live with it....

I already submitted my portfolio and all the other necessary documents, the only thing Im missing is the testimonial which they told me was important. I could follow one of those templates on google about requesting a testimonial but theres nothing there about a 4 year gap, thats why i thought to seek advice here first before sending an email

I kind of want to leave my girlfriend, but I don't really have a "reason" you know?
Like...I really like her as a person. She's a super sweet girl with a lot of great qualities...but we're 23 & 24 and have been dating for three years and I don't think I have any intention of ever marrying her.
I donno, is it okay to break up with someone without a "reason"? Does that make me a total dick?
pls help what should i do
>>17089470
>I don't think I have any intention of ever marrying her
This is a very good reason.
This is the time of life when you should be finding a person to marry.
She either
A) thinks you're going to get married, in which case you're doing her a huge favor in breaking this news to her ASAP
B) thinks you're not going to get married, in which case a breakup is probably something she's planning on at some point as well
Do it m88
You should have a reason to stay with someone, not the other way around. People seem to believe they NEED to be in a relationship, even if they have no real emotional investment in it. The truth is there's absolutely nothing wrong with being single until you find a reason to be with someone
Well, what is it that you really want?
If you're looking for long-term commitment with an eye towards a traditional marriage, you've already given the most important reason to end the relationship: there's no future there for you two.
If you're just bored, that's OK, too. Ultimately, if you can't give a full commitment or aren't letting your gf know that you're not feeling a strong desire to stay together, it's a pretty solid form of dishonesty to withhold that from her. She deserves to be with someone who truly...

Anal sex really turns me off. I do not have any interest of sticking my penis into someone's pooper.
Am I alone in this?
Importantly, I've been dating a girl who has been asking me to do this. Any advice?
This is a blue board, asshole
>>17089467
lol such a simple yet effective pun
>>17089467
That's hardly a NSFW image.
Current crush of mine wich I spent most of the times with at uni last two months called me esterday afternoon, I was in class so I couldnt pick it up texted me yesterday that she and I wrote her text saying whats up. Shortly after that she replied "I'm just kind of drunk and stoned with Lucy at the park and I just wanted to say that it'd be nice if you were here :)".
We are really having some nice times when we are together, do you think that the text indicates there's something more going on? She never sent me a text like that before.
Well, she was under the influence of behaviour altering substances, but there's usually a grain of truth in them. It's quite possible
>>17089448

why didnt you just drop everything to trip with her?
