Can Britbongs aware me on what this fucking means? It's been like this for almost a week.
>>17015564
It is still a long way away.
Not even on the boat to cross the sea to you yet.
>>17015564
It means its in a postage depot or something. its sitting in storage while they sort their shit out.
These progress reports are bullshit anyway. One time I already got my item and the tracking code still had it under "waiting to dispatch".
>>17015564
You probably tried to mail or ship something abroad and paid extra for it to be followed and reported on. What the Post Office doesn't tell you is that they only do this up to the point it leaves the country. After that it's on its own (unless you attached one of those postcards for the receiver to send back). The message hasn't changed because that's all the PO has to say to you. As far as they're concerned, it's not their responsibility any more.
Hey /adv/ how do I build a harem?

I heard elsewhere that axe does not attract women

What's the most tactful and pleasant way to ditch my friends on a vacation if I'm not enjoying what they're doing?
For background, I agreed to a trip to NYC with some friends I've known for nearly 15 years... but their interests are a little more nerdy than mine. When I'm on a vacation, I tend to go light on the sleep, heavy on the booze, and bounce from bar to bar while seeing everything I can possibly see and partying the whole time.
I just found out one guy is bringing SIX obscure as fuck board games for us to play in the hotel. In New...

This image brings back so much sadness
>>17015544
Say "I'm going to X anybody want to come?" And if nobody says anything tell them to call you if they need you.
It's your vacation
>>17015544
Yikes, you sound really insecure
You'd rather go out ALONE than play some dumb board game with friends??
You should say that you'll play the game wth them if they come out with you. That's a lot less lame than going alone
Been having a great relationship with gf then today while leaving a night market.. she got slightly annoyed because i kept driving fast and not wearing a helmet(Motorcycle) and said i never listen too her. Then she did something i never saw her do. She went quiet. Started ignoring me. She's sitting in the living room now past Midnight just sitting in the dark. I asked her whats wrong and she just says she's fine. Ummm what do?
PMS.
Give space or do something nice for her now or later.
go in there and talk to her, apologise for driving too fast, tell her you wont do it again, ask her if there's anything else on her mind. the never listening to her thing makes it sound like there's something more that's bothering her but she just hasn't brought it up before. talk it out, and then comfort her
>>17015553
and if she doesn't respond and start talking to you after a certain amount of time, say 30 minutes, encourage her to go bed so she can get some rest. continue it tomorrow.
My ex and I have been broken up for about 4 months now. We ended mutually, but we were still mad at each other over the breakup. I have not texted her in this time. I really don't think about her anymore and was over her, but I had a dream about her last night that I guess made me feel good and brought back great memories. Now all my thoughts today is about her and wanting to text her.
Should I do it? Or wait for it to pass?
We dated for 3 years
>>17015493
wait for it to pass.
why did you end it? any chance of it working?
Let it pass. Don't look back, OP. You ended things mutually for a reason. Looking back will distract you from the now.
Failed relationships are practice, nothing more. Did you play any team sports as a kid, or study for a test? You don't go back and moon over or reminisce about practices and studying for exams. Your past is practivce, nothing more, nothing less.
How do you tell somebody who likes you that you don't want another date? Do you say something, or just not return their calls or text? Let's say you want to let them down easy.
How many dates have you been on, anon?
>he actually is turning women down
Git out, normie scum.
>>17015396
just be honest. Just tell them, hey I enjoyed our time together, but I don't see it working out between us, thanks for <whatever>, good luck with your dating life :)
if you think they're a nice person, leave whatever compliments you feel like are appropriate if any, and you know, personalize that generic statement to your needs.
they'll either be like, thanks you too, ask you why not (which then becomes more awkward, you can just be like, sorry I just didn't feel the chemistry,...

I don't even know if this applies to a lot of guys , especially older men but
Why do men stare at a woman even though she's not revealing anything? Honesty can just looking at an attractive girls face turn a man on??
>>17015368
I'm guessing you're not a guy but looking at a girl doesn't necessarily mean I have a rock hard erection and I'm fantasizing about pinning her down and taking her from behind.
A lot of different shit goes through guys' heads. Some of it is sexual, some isn't. She might have a pretty face, she might have nice hair, you might think the looks like someone you used to know, you might be wondering why she chose to wear plaid and stripes... Don't overthink it.
>Why do men stare at a woman even though she's not revealing anything?
hardwired to analyses all potential mate. sorry its just automatic like walking.
>Honesty can just looking at an attractive girls face turn a man on??
Yes definitely. but be aware that focusing on particular physical attribute will be gunning for sexual interaction with said physical attribute.
Again hardwired. sorry.
it's called "undressin with their eyes"
That's an old phrase that you youngins don't have.
Its my gf's bday tomorrow. Obviously she will expect me to post something on her fb wall but I'm not sure what I should write. I don't want to write something too sappy because her parents/friends will think I'm weird but I don't want to write something too 'unsappy'. How do I find a happy medium that is appropriate?
Is something like 'Happy birthday :) Can't wait to see you tonight <3' appropriate? Should I add a semi-embarrassing selfie I took when she wasn't ready? It seems like most people post semi-embarrasing...

>>17015360
How about you go see her in person and then say happy birthday? Cause facebook doesnt prove how much you care for her.
Cant believe you need advice for this shit.
>>17015389
I am seeing her. I will say happy birthday to her in person. In this day and age everyone still says happy birthday to one another on facebook. She'd be pretty upset if I didn't post anything on her wall on her birthday
>>17015389
I called my mom on her birthday and she specifically asked me to post on her Facebook wall. I agree with you that in person is way more meaningful and Facebook posts are ultimately meaningless, but some people want to look important I guess?
Would you go to a beer festival in a rainstorm? My friend insists it's going to be great and there will be a bunch of girls hanging out soaking wet. I'm imagining a bunch of alcoholics sucking down cups of beer in the rain and it seems like a waste of money.
90% chance of rain. Call it /adv/, is this going to be fun or not?
Your friend insisted because of beer. There will be beer, but you'll be drinking beer inside a crowded tent filled with smelly drunkard.
I hope you realized that those girls won't be standing around in the rain ....
>>17015323
yeah sounds fun
just put your phone in a ziplock bag.
They'll probably have tents you pussy.
Alcoholics typically don't go to beer fests because they're too expensive and they would rather spend the money on cheap booze.
Maybe your judgemental ass shouldn't go then.
My friend recently bought a bunch of pc parts and we put his computer together. Everything turned on but for some odd reason the USB ports did not respond and when we hooked the GPU to a monitor with and HDMI cable it didn't respond either l. Where did we go wrong ?
>>17015300
Could be anything but i would double check your installations.
Change the power cord for the video card
make sure power source is working
see if motherboard is receiving power
sounds like a video card problem(possibly DOA) but honestly unless looking at it it could be a gorillion things.
>the USB ports did not respond
Sometimes these doesn't work unless you installed all the necessary drivers that came with the mobo installer disc.
>when we hooked the GPU to a monitor with and HDMI cable it didn't respond either
Is it an onboard GPU? If not turn off the onboard in the Boot menu.

>>17015329
We plugged in the gtx 970 and it turned on but the hdmi didn't pick it up.
I am one to hold a grudge for a very long time. I don't actively pursue getting revenge or making the other person's life worse, but when someone does something that I find very disrespectful, I find it very hard to ever want to forgive them, and no longer want to interact with them unless forced to. Much less so when they are arrogant on top of this and refuse to redeem themselves.
Right now this is the situation with a family member of mine. If I could never speak to the person again, I wouldn't. But I feel like this is not the right way to go about this....

get over it.
You have your standard or life that you expect people to follow and so do they. Finding the comfort zone where you can tolerate eachother is just a part of life.
>>17015273
>get over it.
How should I go about doing this when it involved physical assault and I am a neurotic person in general?
Just treat them with a cold detachment - tolereate their existence, but don´t go beyond the simple "I still know you exist" most neccessary interaction.
That way you are not being rude in eyes of your family for being a jerk or whatever, but you don´t need to connect with that person whatsoever.
Some family members are great, but keeping all of them close just for the sake of "family" is overrated
I'm turning 30 soon. I look young for my age, and dress and act a little younger. I generally like dating girls in their early 20s but I feel like 30 is an arbitrary line girls have set in their heads that is "too old."
I'm not concerned about this in real life, since no one has to immediately say how old they are, but on like, a dating site, would it be a terrible idea to drop my age from 30 to 28 or 29? Am I way overthinking this?
If any femanons are on, would a guy being in his 30s be a deal breaker if you were 21-24?
>>17015246
I just made this thread a million times more creepy than intended by missing that dude's hand in this girl's hair. Oops.
>21-24
why do you go for such young girls? aren't you over the "testing the water, having some fun"-phase yet?
and no, i don't think it's too big of a deal. girls usually don't care too much if a guy is a bit older. i dated a guy who was 27 when i was 17 and when i was 21, i had a relationship with a a 37 y.o.
however, i wouldn't recommend that to my daughter. it's pretty stupid and reeks of issues. i would give you the same advice, date closer to your own age if you want a working and healthy...

Honestly, no I'm not out of that phase, and I have a really hard time seeing myself getting out of it anytime soon. Girls at that age still seem to have life and vitality in them, a sense of adventure. Most of the women close to my age seem to have given up on fun in life, and the single ones are callous career women whose social life consists of coming home, making a sensible dinner with a glass of white wine, and settling down with their cat or tiny dog for some Netflix before bed. That lifestyle makes...

I can try to finish my degree, but I will be 25 by the time I finish and I doubt that it will even get me a job when I've taken 7 years for it.
I can't join the military right away because I'm heavily underweight.
I can either start working part time jobs or go into an apprenticeship.
Were any of you, or do any of you know someone who were in my position? What's going to happen to me?
nothing's going to happen to you, anon.
you just finish your degree (what's it in?), then you find a job. don't stress yourself out over this too much. take your time, it's not the end of the world if you're not exactly on par with people your age. it won't matter anymore in a few years.
>>17015230
>Were any of you, or do any of you know someone who were in my position? What's going to happen to me?
Yes there are about 100 threads like this a day.
Finish school.
>insert op reason for wanting to stop school
FINISH SCHOOL
Your situation could always be worse, I am 20, unsociable to a very autistic degree, and don't even have an 10th grade level education and haven't attended school in 5 years, not a single day of work experience. The, "I will be this old by the time I'm done" attitude is what lead to me being here, I stopped caring because I thought I had already fucked any chance I had and now I've wasted 5 years and can see that I really just fucked myself over for no reason.
Just finish school or go for an apprenticeship or trade, being a little late to...

So i just got done shoving stuff up my ass for pleasure and one of them was a bouncy ball about the size of a quarter and, now its gone into the depths of my anal cavity. I cant feel it, am i gonna die, Or will it sooner or later just come out on its own?
>>17015216
Shit it out or head to the ER.
Soon=better
>>17015216
If it's rubber you're fine, it's inert and won't hurt you and will come out on its own.
If you wanted to hurry it out give yourself an enema, but you can just wait for your next shit to push it out for you.
>>17015223
>head to the ER.
There is literally no reason to go to the ER for this unless you somehow cannot poop at all over the next week or if you get off on being humiliated in front of ER staff.
Anyways, I was wondering what would be the most appropriate programming language to learn as a beginner. Extra points if you can provide good sources.
Because everyone here is depressed. Javascript.
Java or C.
For anything you want to know, ask Stack Overflow!
>>17015195
Learn C or Java if you are good at math.
Learn Python if not.
