How do I date as a picky eater?I can't eat gluten, wheat, nightshades and very very small amounts of sugar because of an autoimmune condition, or my joints get set on fire and degrade over time. Also my general stamina is needed.What's the best cope for this?
>>34278915Plan ahead, choose places you know are good and be honest about your issue. Big difference between not eating normally because "ew yucky I don't like that and i've never tried it" compared to a legitimate health concern.
>>34278915Just don't be a pussy bro
>>34278915>>34278915so you can eat meat and vegetables? there's literally zero problem. every place has meat and vegetables, its a default meal
Hey anons, have you ever tried preventing someone from committing suicide? Who were they; a family member, a friend, or perhaps a complete stranger? What led them to this and how did they eventually open up to you? Most importantly, how did you respond and how were you able to talk them out of it? Is there any thing you would have done differently and what advice would you give people in similar situations?
>>34277788>Sunday,just wanted to enjoy my little sunday>Friend on facebook send me a picture of an empty tablet of painkiller medication basically saying goodbye>Relaxing sunday is over>Don't know my friend address>Had to contact everyone on facebook to try to find his address while calling an ambulance (He was a highschool friend but didn't knew where he lived)>They emptied his stomach and he got saved>Bombarded me with angry message saying that he just wanted to die and "go fuck yourself blablabla">later thanked me for it and seemed gratefullReason i think he tried to hero was he go a small manhood maybe? i've talked to a few girls and heard a few of them mocking him for it so....
>>34277788I got formal suicide prevention trainingTL;DR people won't kill themselves if they feel like one (1) person will listen to their problems instead of telling them to stop being so negative
Will getting comptia a+ certified help me escape retail wage cuck hell? I make 15 an hour and I want to die
Watch Jeremy’s IT Lab on YouTube and get a CCNA instead. CompTIA certifications are trash.
>>34273478What makes comptia trash? A friend went from 15 an hour in a factory to 25 an hour doing IT help after getting a+
>>34274838are you in the EU or USA? I'm thinking of doing CompTIA, EU here
>>34274841US in state of georgia
>>34272957Bumping because I've also been interested in getting a Comp A+ cert.
How do I stop finding conversations boring? I'm very narcissistic and only like talking about things that interest me. I pretend to be into other people's interests and what they are talking about but I just don't care. It's literally making me a hermit. Any fixes?
>>34278864>But I only care about myselfYeah, still ain't narcissism. Egotism maybe but narcissism nah. Narcissism is about being a raging attention whore, that was what we called them in my day, attention whores. They only care about themselves too, but unlike egotists, the narcissist DEMANDS everyone care about them as well. Ironically the narcissist is the one not likely to expect abd demand you care s kut their interests. You are the opposite side of the coin, you just don't care about other people interests full stop. That's fine anon. Might piss some people off, but who cares. You can find other ways to make social connections that don't involve caring about people's interests. I don't give two fucks about my friends interests or my wife's, but I enjoy deep relations to both. Because all I need to do is go share a experience with them. Hang out or go see the same shit like a movie or eat the same shit like go eat at the same place or go hiking together or whatever you get it? Doesn't mean I have to go develop the same obsession over some gay book series or be into the same hobby all of a sudden
>>34278855>Because we exist only through the reflection of othersThat's extremely shallow and illogical. You really ought to take some time to meditate, sit quietly and reflect on yourself. Living your life through the eyes of others is no life at all.>That's how you create an identityIdentities are not healthy. You should be striving not to have one at all. Identity is the same as ego-clinging, which is the root of all suffering.>How can you be a kind person if you don't treat others with kindnessBecause kindness exists objectively, it doesn't have a dependent existence. What you're asking is similar to saying "how can you be just if you aren't a judge?". The quality of impartiality exists in and of itself, objectively. You can be impartial without having to arbitrate, just as you can be kind without having to perform any actions.Being this dependent on others isn't healthy at all, it's something you should strive to get away from at all costs.
>>34278888well i got it wrong
>>34278892Yeah, you got it wrong but so did I do do lots of people. Internet is retarded and people these days are hysterical and use the word 'narcissism' like confetti lol. So it becomes easy to mistake yourself as one.If you wanna know who the actual narcs are, it's the ones who call other people narcissists. Because they are basically saying "you didn't care about me or worship my ego you are a bad person I am the victim". That's narcissism in a nutshell. The real narcissists often reverse the victim/offender status all the time. You are honest about not giving a fuck, that means you ain't one. Narcs pretend to give a fuck if they think it means they can get money, pussy, attention, social cred etc. As long as you are fine with other people not caring about your own interests as much as you don't care about theirs, it's all even-stevens.
>>34278888the word narcissist has lost it's meaning imo also checked nice numbers or something.
I got a notice from my drivers update of the graphics card that it won't receive any more support, and it suddenly started failing since.My PC is around 9 years old and these are my current specs:OS: Windows 10 Education version 22H2GPU: 2047MB NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 6GB (Gigabyte)CPU: Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-8400 CPU @ 2.80GHz 2.81 GHzRAM: 16.0 GB (2 Corsair 8gb each 1064MHZ)Motherboard: Gigabyte Technology Co. Ltd. B360M DS3H (U3E1)Hard drive: 1788GB KINGSTON SA400S371920G (SATA-2 (SSD))The OS is something I got from school time ago(it's official), I got the notice to upgrade to windows 11, but it also said I can't upgrade due some chip missing on the motherboard. I'm thinking of possibly upgrading the motherboard, maybe the processor and graphics card, and maybe keeping my RAM/SSD (or changing them if that'd be better).Anyone here can give me some decent upgrade settings, with some good price-performance relation (like not paying double just to have 10% better performance than some other GPU), which could last maybe some other 10 years if possible, I really love this PC, but maybe it needs an upgrade.I heard the prices of components went up lately (due the AI bubble or something), and I would like some advice/guidance to what would be something decent and not way too expensive in general.
You can ask in >>>/g/108202009 and even >>>/wsr/But the best gpu is amd, because it fits with the whole price/performance. Mine's are 6700xt, but the best gpu right now is 9060-9070(non)(xt), the only thing that will held it back would be cpu and motherboard in which case not my knowledge. I could be wrong so just double check stuffs.When I reread again, potentially you could migrate to debian where it can become functional somewhat even on old hardware, just uh... make sure to backup important stuffs before doing it and that your okay to using whats not available in windows. Then again this is like optional, if you can buy good condition gpu then no need to migrate.No need to upgrade ram and SSD, 16gb is fine and 2tb. Goodluck.
>>34278992>the best gpu is amdI lost total trust with my first AMD, it was some Athlon, the thing had a lot of issues with the drivers and then it finally caught fire, but yeah, many friends tell me "AMD is superior and there's some intel conspiracy to make them work bad", so for me it's a never again with AMD (as good as it may be saying it is now).>potentially you could migrate to debianyeah... some other friend told me to "migrate to linux" (recomending me mint because it's user friendly), but most of the stuff I use doesn't have linux compatibility (had issues with wine years ago), so they told me to use "proton" (whatever that may be) or dual bot (which I'm also against with).Thank you for the tips, I guess I'll try my luck posthing this in /g/ (I may not have enough knowledge) or in /wsr/.
So I have a problem. I would really love to go back to school and become a nurse, but I already completed a degree in comp-sci and my grades were middling. In Canada we use a 12.0 scale and my average was a 9.0, or a B+. Not awful, but not the best. I've been out of school for some years, working the whole time as a programmer. I'd like to attend one of Carleton, Algonquin, or Ottawa U (if those names mean anything to you) in one of their BScN programs, but I'm not certain I could get in with my current GPA. Raising it to an A- would be rather difficult given the amount of courses I have already taken (we're talking straight As with a full course load for multiple semesters, I did the math). Are there any other pathways available to me? I obviously intend on applying anyways, but in the event I don't get in I'd like to hear some other options. Thanks in advance.
Genuinely you're too fucking stupid to be a nurse don't even try.
Nursing is for losers
You will never be a nurse you will never make something of yourself and you will never be happy. Just end it.
>>34272946>>34273317>>34275411A nurse stole this anon's hot choccy and now he's all grumpy and taking it out on OPHe doesn't know he can just buy himself a new one.

I've solved limerence.AMA
What I'm Wondering is Has Anyone Really Been Far Even as Decided to Use Even Go Want to do Look More Like?
>>34278588Good for you? I've never experienced it
>>34278588There's no such thing as limerence, redditor. It's not a word that exists.
Am i still in limerence with my wife after 15 years together? we just held hands during lunch, she didn't want to left go. thank god im left handed
what made stop wanting to do things in your life?what made you give up on trying hard or even trying in generali'm no longer passinate about anything anymorenothing really feels good anymorei've lost all ambition and drive and i've given up on my dreams because of how difficult it is to achive after years and years of trying and even when i succeed at something i can't get a dopamine hit out of it or any sense of pride or accomplshment or a good feeling as i literally only feel frustraighted by the difficulty and the faliuresi can't even enjoy time off as i don't even enjoy things like video games or watching movies/tv as it all feels pontlessi lterally don't enjoy anything anymore and i mostly want to sleep in all day and avoid homework because even if i get my work done eaily or well i'm left with nothing to do afterwords all my friends live too far away and are eaither too busy or are just too broke to do anything so life in general just feels like a waste of time
Time for a new adventure.
>>34278832i don't like alcohol thats why i smoke weed insteadi've been smoking weed since october of 2019 and its been an ongoing struggle to try and quit but life throws me a curvelball or someting negative happens or sometimes its because i'm bored and its too expensie to go anywhere and hang out with anybodymost of the time i end up hanging out at my parents house who live nearby and the only fun thing to do their is smoke with them so i've tried avoiding hanging out with them too muchi know its bad for me but its literally the only thing left that feels good or just genreally feels like anything anymore
>>34278898>smoke weedYou're disgusting
>>34278898>smokes weed>is surprised about his shit dopamine levelsk retard
>>34278585It's fear. Fear that I'll fail that shit again, whatever the fuck it is. Fear that people will notice all of the small shitty details of all the things I do, and point it out to me. Laugh at me, maybe. Fear that I'll just hate myself because of producing shit again. I just work my ass off on survival instinct, and even that seems pointless in this economy.
I cant solve the captcha when trying to sign up via email.It always says its wrong (even though i did it right)per post captcha do work for some reason though
>>34275499never give up anon
Tried it again today, I go to>https://sys.4chan.org/signinEnter my email and solve the captcha, open the link send via email and solve another captcha and then it just says invalid or outdated link.I tried to solve the captcha 3 times, always says done but then fails.Now I tried to get a new link but it says>You have to wait 5 more hours before attempting this again.Site is literally unusable.
>>34278105If you just don't delete your browsing history it starts to remember you but it literally takes five seconds to captcha.
Am I the only fucking person with that problem?
>>34275499Is it the stars?When it says it requires 2 of 4 spikes.It meant 2 of that 4 spiked shape.Not, finding 4 spikes.
When we die and I also think I'm fucked.What would you do if you had this knowledge?
>>34278706What happens when you die?
>>34278823I would also like to know.>>34278706And how did you find out. Did Jesus tell you in a dream you are going to the bad place?
The universe does not waste energy. We are reborn
>>34278875This probably true
Is it a good idea to never mess with people that have face tattoos?
>>34277540What about girls with tongue piercings? Can I... can I mess with them...?
>>34277295Tattoos are a psychological "away" sign for the outsider. For the insider, the person with tattoos, it's a "come here" sign. Tattooed people want others to approach and connect with. But outsiders see someone to be avoided, tattoos carry a signal of danger for whatever reason.Sometimes people who get tattoos know this and they get tattoos to look tough. Those types don't do anything if you mess with them they only wanted to look tough because deep down they're not tough.Tattoo types who got them for the purpose of standing out, the ones who wanted to find identity to connect, I wouldn't fuck with them. They go apeshit if you fuck them over.The way to tell which is which depends on the types of tattoo, the symbols and meanings for them.
>>34278200>the mental gymnastics of tattoosUm... I'll just stay away from all of them :/
>>34277431Ok
>>34277295Depends. they could just be alternative. but theres still a significant ghetto population that get them to look hard. if theyre retarded enough to get face tats theyre retarded enough to stab you. i would avoid them unless its a concert
I am a guy but I have always felt like I seriously lack experience in terms of romance and dating compared to women my age. I am 31 and I feel completely behind in everything dealing with dating and romance. I strongly prefer to date women my own age or very close to it(within 2-3 years of my own age). Women my age seem incredibly experienced though. Like having had multiple boyfriends, long term relationships, sexual relationships, short term relationships, all sorts of shit. I am not even looking for a woman with NO experience like me. I just wish the gap in my experiences and the experience of most women wasn't so large. The culmination of my experience in these fields is basically having one kiss. And the woman had to kiss me. I wasn't even the one who initiated it. So what can I do to try and resolve this? I don't feel I could ever catch up. I don't finding a woman who is fond of men with hardly any experience is even a real thing. I don't really think women covet a man who hasn't done anything sexual. What are my options?
>compare to women
>>34276158At your age teen-style dating games and rituals don't really apply. You are most likely to find women either online (not really satisfactory) or via the friendzone. Chances are that you already know the next woman you will be romantically involved with, as friend, co-worker, neighbor, club member, friend-of-friend, etc. That actually works to your benefit in your particular situation, since you can get to know each other on a non-sexual level first and know whether you will be comfortable exposing your experience level.Look around you for a woman you know who you find particularly amenable. The line between hanging out as friends and dating is a thin one
>>34277453What would even a psychologist do for OP?
>>34276158You're a man. Unlike women you dont have to date women your age. Date someone younger and less experienced. Women PREFER men to be older than them despite what internet groupthink would make you think.
>>34276158Fuck a few high priced escorts (GFE exp) as a way to up your game and get some experience yourself. It does wonders.
Is it beta to use dating sites? Also this is a picture of a bird.
>>34275208Use them
>>34275218I want mommy i want milk
It's beta than not using them
>>34275215It's a trade off. You get to know someone a bit through text and photos before actually meeting them. Pro of this is you avoid wasting time with someone totally incompatible. The con is that your first impression of them is filtered through a dating app, and less spontaneous.
Fucking jannies
Hi I want to go university and I have an idea of how I'll achieve it please could you talk to me because I don't know if I should attend a university abroad or a local university please can we have a conversation?
>>34277736Yes>>34277764I'm from the UK I want to study computer science
>>34278627Why do you want to study abroad? Oxbridge itself offers good computer science programs.
>>34278653Realistically I am not smart enough for Oxbridge
>>34278627If you’re a home student you would be paying half the tuition fees that international students do and you can still get into a good cs program in most russel group universities. I got into Queen Mary through clearing after I didn’t meet the predicted grades in my conditional offer and got A*AA on results day. Just go for a local uni, it’s easier and less expensive.
>>34278683I would honestly suggest you just start educating yourself if you want to be a computer scientist. If there's something you want to build, start preparing to build it. If you purely want to learn, start learning. Saying you're too dumb for Oxbridge that probably means you probably don't have a lot of support. You might have to learn to find inner peace and build a community outside of university. There are tons of subjects in computer science, from grand design industry issues all the way down to building a higher fidelity graphics engine. The best thing you could do is start learning something that interests you, and getting into the habit of setting and achieving goals. If you want to grind through a program and be just qualified enough to get rejected from 200+ jobs and be lucky to get whatever bullshit job you hate, go to local uni. If you have tons of support and mommy and daddy are going to hold your hand while you do whatever you want, go to oxford.
It's nearly impossible. Dating apps suck, going outside is worthless, bars don't work, and finding hobby groups are also worthless. I'm pretty sure people are just lying about their relationship status.
>>34264445Technically you can meet people everywhere. You can cold approach people in public places.
>>34264445What did people use in any other era to date?What IS dating? Screening for a potential mate to procreate and share resources with to attain particular goals?What is every possible way to do this? What are the likely statistical outcomes of all this?For example1 dating app (intentional-dating environment)Swipe some people, meet them in person a few times, discuss the “share resources to attain particular goals” “contract”, decide yay or nay, go next(Btw there's like no physical equivalent, you basically forced to use dating apps if want intentional-dating environment, other than like ballroom dancing or some shit, or singles events meetups shit idk. I guess if there was an organic physical version of mass-swiping efficiently but that'd be cumbersome. One just has to be "smart" and "guess" where their match would most likely be at then go there)2 school, work, shared forced environment (forced - unintentional)Comment too long.
