I lived abroad for 10 years but had to return to Egypt unfortunately. I’ve finished high school now, but I can’t stay here anymore. I wanna leave as soon as possible, yet study visas require a big bank balance that’s hard to save due to the currency gap and low salaries. I thought about taking a gap year or two and working in the Gulf since getting the visa is easier than in Europe, and after saving the money applying to unis in Europe or Asia. Is that better, or suffering for 4 more years and trying to get a job with my Egyptian degree? I have a mandatory military service for 1 year if I go to college here; however, they won't ask for papers if I travel before turning 19. Any advice?
>>34042525Leaving Egypt for the Gulf seems like a good idea, especially if you're interested in a degree in sonething relevant like soil science or oil field engineering. Just be really careful in the Gulf, your government is cucked (you know this) and will do nothing to help you if you get tricked and enslaved by Khaleejis
>>34043423I don’t want to study in the Gulf there’s zero chance of ever getting citizenship anyway. I’d only go there to stack the required bank balance, basically as a pit stop, then bounce to Germany or Japan
I’ve been talking to these people I met on a random Discord server for the past few months, and at first it was just a way to kill time. But now, it’s basically my whole life. We chat every day, and I’m honestly way more invested in these conversations than anything going on in real life.There’s this one girl I met in the group, and we’ve been talking a lot more than anyone else. We just clicked, y’know? I don’t know how to explain it, but it feels like we’ve got this connection that’s way deeper than just “online friends.” We live over 1000 km apart, so not exactly something I can just drive over for, but every time we talk, it feels like we're already in some kind of relationship, even though we're not officially dating or anything.Here’s the thing though: I’ve started to notice that my real life is just not as important to me anymore. I can’t stop thinking about her, or the other people in the group. When I’m at school or somewhere else in real life, all I think about is the discord server and my online friends. I’ve even started prioritizing my online life over everything else, and I feel like I'm kind of losing touch with what's going on around me.It’s like I’ve built this little bubble online where everything feels easier, more real, and more fulfilling than anything I’ve got in my day-to-day. But at the same time, I know it’s all kind of… fake? It’s just text and voice calls. I can’t just drop everything and meet her or make this into something more, so I feel stuck.I feel like I’m in too deep to just disengage without feeling like I’m losing something important. I don’t know if it’s just loneliness or if this is actually something that could turn into something real.Has anyone else been through something like this? How do you deal with falling for someone you can’t actually be with in real life? How do I stop letting this online world take over my real one?
>>34043977That's what happens when you use the internet to fill a void IRL. Your only three options:>Brute force yourself off of the internet. Cut contact with all online friends and uninstall discord>Juggle your discord life and real life, use the online socializing as a crutch while you double your efforts to find something IRL to branch onto>Turn the discord Internet thing into real life itself, namely by marrying that girl and living together then delete the discord shit.Though word of warning: watch out for those discord girls. A lot of them have a tendency to be very, very mentally ill.
>>34043977Congratulations, you will be here forever
I'm a 34yo KHHV by choice because I don't find 99.999% of women attractive. Seriously, out of the thousands of women I've seen, I've only found 3 women attractive in my life. Every other woman is about as attractive to me as a chair. I think a major part of it is I'm just not attracted to the human form. I'm super attracted to dragons, and my "standards" for dragons is much lower. I'd say I'm attracted to 50% of dragons I see. I'm not a furry and I don't find anthro furry stuff attractive (not even anthro dragons). I just find feral dragons super attractive. What can I do to lower my standards for human women?
>Be as brief or as detailed as you want.
>>34034088I want someone who's comfortable being authentically themselves with me. None of the act we all put on for others, I want every part of a woman and to be accepted as I am as well. I want the messy hair, blanket hogging bed gremlin who I need to coax out of bed on sundays with breakfast, the girl who's always 10 minutes late because her makeup always takes longer than expected, the one who whines when we finish a show and have to wait for a new season, all of it good and bad until even the bad becomes something familiar and beloved.A sense of humor is the greatest gift a person can have, so a girl who makes me laugh and who I make laugh is the one I want to be around. I want a girl who says whatever she thinks is funny regardless of if it's fucked up or cringe.I want a woman to *enjoy* life with. Someone to make up our own dialogue about strangers at the mall with, someone who calls me in the middle of a work day because she heard about a fun new place to go for dinner, someone who makes something as mundane as cooking dinner together into a conversation so good your cheeks hurt from smiling. I want a woman who's confident with her body, a little soft around the curves and with hips I could lose myself in just watching them move. I'm a sucker for big dark brown eyes, caramel skin and curly hair. I want luscious lips to kiss, soft skin to caress and massage, gentle hands to intertwine with mine and hold. I want someone thoughtful and kind, who encourages me to bring out the good nature I repressed to survive and lets it thrive.I want... My wife. Every day I wake up next to her is a day better than I could have imagined before.

See title. I failed at life and I cede. All the haters won. Nothing is looking up for me. GPA too low for grad school. Will never get a good job and will be poor for the rest of my life while being in life long debt. I’m untalented and everything I try to make just looks like shit.The disorders I have will never make me an actual person and I will forever be an awkward mess. I am incapable of being loved and will be alone forever. There is no decent reason to live.>B-but you can just fix all of this?YOU DON’T THINK IM FUCKING TRYING??? I’M TRYING EVERY FUCKING DAY AND TIME IS RUNNING OUT!!!! I AM A FUCK UP AND INCAPABLE OF BEING FIXED!!! It is over I think but if someone can provide a logical reason to help me that would be nice

After a certain point you just can’t turn it around>>34040743I think both wins were impressive in some respect but you’re kidding yourself if you don’t think the inheritance from being the son of a rich man significantly helped Donald Trump. Joe Biden was a fucking joke for decades before coasting off of obama… that’s the only reason he was even president. George W Bush is an idiot who only got anywhere in life because of his cia president father… A lot of times success feels like luck. I know its not… my successful friends worked their asses off. I don’t know if I can recover. Even if I finish off college strong its over. I will simply be poor
>>34037562>if someone can provide a logical reason to help meNo-one has any reason to help anyone else. It is in everyone else's self-interest (besides your blood parents/siblings) that you die because it reduces competition. If you die, they can hire a cheap Indian to replace you

Is what it is. As someone with depression and that also tried killing himself, try this: try to change at least one small thing. One. At worst you end up in the same place.You will not be your ideal person tomorrow and maybe not in this life, but maybe you can change a small thing, and that at least is better than nothing.And try praying to God unironically. If you hate this life and hoping that God is real, he is the only one that can help you realizing your next life and all of this. If you don't believe, well, you don't lose anything for trying a prayer either.God bless you anon, don't be retarded and take your life, keep on trying. You literally don't have more options because death isn't one.It is the road you are for better or worse.

That's a sad story. Whoredom ruins lives. Makes women used goods and embitters men. Sad!I don't think any of this actually happened though.

Hello anons, I'll give some brief context:I was madly in love with this girl back in summer. We had a long history together spanning from highschool to college, although we weren't really friends we were always in each others vicinity to some degree. We reconnected and started talking daily and we decided to go on a few dates this summer. In the end when it came to defining things she said she wasn't ready. We decided to "stay in contact" and I figured this would just mean we both drift away on our own paths, but it didn't.It is winter now and the last 2 months she has repeatedly said she wants to see me again.I don't know what to feel about this, I don't know how I should navigate or whether or not this is a healthy idea. Things are different now since now she is instead the one pushing for meetups and plans for dates, it I don't want to get heart broken again
>>34041264If youre still going to be stuck in a LDR after you meet up then the fundamental situation hasn't changed, she just seems to want you more now. She was on the right track when she said she didnt feel enough of a spark to sustain something into an LDR... from personal experience thats 100% correct and you both need to be equally invested and commited to the long term for LDRs to work out. Then again, if she's now meeting the level of interest that you originally had for her then that might be a good enough starting point. Honestly if youre like 24 or younger id say just go for it. Just be very clear and communicative about the situation and your intentions.
>>34041261Thanks for the additional context, I think you had an interesting encounter > she "didn't feel the spark"Well obviously she felt some spark if she was crying leaving you. The question is more like why did she not want to continue the relationship.The fact that there is a future in which you are not a LDR anymore is a possible reason why she wanted to recontact you, but also she did not say that.I think it is a difficult situation. Being honest would be to tell her that it's not ok to play with you like this. But on the other hand, she might be searching for a relationship where there is a low emotional charge (that is usually what "I'm not ready" mean) so that would ruin it. If you can manage it, I would suggest entertaining her while keeping a low emotional investment. So that means not showcasing that you ate "madly in love" with her.
>>34041364>>34041372>>34042809Thanks anons. I think I'll just see how it goes. I have the things you said in mind, so I'm internally cautious. I think I've reignited something for her again but it's not to that "mad love" anymore. And that probably very much of the better.What I want from this is also very different from before. I really like the thing we have right now, I'm not much of a "relationship guy". I see my friends being in relationships and I feel like that dynamic seems trapping. And that is in large part why I've stayed away from relationships in the past. I think what I would want ultimately is just the emotional intimacy we enjoy right now, but with stated exclusivity; that this is made clear to be an us only thing. No expectations, no obligations. Although LDR seems more daunting for me now than it did at the end of the summer.Come to this has been a little bit of a recurring thing; she asked me to dance on the highschool graduation ball and added me on socials to talk. We lost contact because ironically I didn't want to continue down that path since I knew we were going to both leave for uni. After 2 years we started talking again, then leading to the summer and reconnecting in person, losing contact again after the "breakup" and now we are planning to meet again. I don't know, there just seems to be something about this person im drawn to
>>34039597>Things are different now since now she is instead the one pushing for meetupsShe wasn't ready then, she is now. Stop dwelling on the past, people change
>>34041264>the more I pull away the more she engagesI don't like these types of people. The second you stop playing hard to get she'll start pulling away.I had 1-2 situations like this. Just manipulate them enough by pretending you don't care until you get them in bed and then ghost them completely. These people are not worth starting a relationship with.
I’m a digital artist that mainly paints and draws. Over the years I’ve put in a ton of work and built strong knowledge in anatomy, composition, and perspective etc.Right now things are feel really rough for me. AI has gotten scarily good, and it’s hitting my career dream opportunities hard, atleast in my head.Lately I’ve been seriously considering quitting social media altogether, stepping away from the internet, and just drawing for myself and my friends. My problem with sharing my staff is AI training on my work without consent. Anyway i got feeling of giving up on the bigger dream of working in games or films. At the same time, I still wonder if it’s possible to land some real work on projects, make decent money, and actually turn this passion into a sustainable career in the future.What do you think? I’m never going to stop drawing.I love it too much, but I’m full of doubt about whether I ever truly make it in to career or get to work on big stuff. I feel like i was born in the worst period of time for someone like me.
Firstly anon, show us your paintings :)I may be in a similar enough position that I hope my advice means something to you. I'm 26, am a classical composer, and have been writing orchestral music for 9-ish years. I essentially write at a professionally level and have 3-7 performances a year with maybe 2-4k of income per year from that. The rest comes from my 40 hour-per-week job in healthcare for which I spent 6 years in uni.I'll skip all the details and just say that you *really* need to come to terms with what you truly want. Not in terms of this job vs that job but personal values. Is it really about the money? Or is it about having a bigger audience? Is it about the approval of others? You need to answer these questions, preferably before you over-invest as I did. > working in film + video gamesAnon I'll be real with you, I would never reccomend this unless you have a high-income backup job you can fall back on quickly. My experience in film + games is that you rarely get to do the kind of work that you actually enjoy. Productivity is the priority in these industries, so can you work fast? Have you sat down with a video game/film artist and actually spoken to them about what the job is like? I wish I did this with film because I was unprepared for how much technology I had to learn.My honest answer to your question is that getting a "normal," stable, well-paying job is the best thing you can ever do for your artistic career. Your best work will always be done on your own terms, think of all your best paintings so far and ask if a film/game studio would've changed your ability to make them. Personally, my film scores are the most boring things I've written in comparison to my paid jobs because that's what the director asked for.> sustainable careerI will say one positive thing anon, and that is the fact that there are many ways to work *in* art without being an artist. Would you consider working as a curator or manager for an art gallery?
did the art of watchmaking disappear because factory-produced watches became a thing? perhaps you imagine that the need for artists will disappear simply because models can generate it?i work in the industry, helping models utilize their training data better, and these things at their CEILING will be able to replace only low quality work, in all fields. you are only in trouble if you do bullshit work, and if you are very likely not that.
You're a fraudtist if your work is on the same level as ai slop

I'll be moving to a new city in June for work and will stay there for at least 6 months, it's in Germany, and I'm not even German, I'm Italian, I don't know a single person in the city.The thing is I recently broke up with my girlfriend after 4 years and now that I'm 22 I don't feel like getting into another relationship, and I've always had a kink for MILFs, so I've been wondering if I should download Tinder or something else and just look for as many hot single mother's as I can find and bang them all, is it a good idea?
>>34040228Why not? I'm muscular and I have a pretty face, plus I only want sex, how hard could it be
>>34035226Depends on what sort of girl you want to marry in future, a nice trad girl would be very put off if you have a manslut history.

I miss playing World of Warcraft so much, it's unreal. On a purely rational level I know it's just nostalgia, I haven't played that game in almost 10 years, I've since moved on. I got married and even bought a house in this fucked economy, I've managed to legit work hard irl and build a life, but sometimes it hits me extremely bad. I was sitting on the toilet and I remembered killing those trolls in Stranglethorn Vale, those days were truly special, especially around this time of the year. Long nights, snowing outside and just playing wow with my guildies and my buddies to 4 in the morning. I miss those days.How do I handle the extreme nostalgia for bygone things?
>>34040770I played WoW classic all the way through Mists of Panderia. Your post resonates with me. It won’t “fix” your nostalgia but maybe find a co-op game to play with your wife/friends.Remind yourself why you moved on, remind yourself why you got married and built a new life. Focus on things to look forward to with your family.Maybe listen to some old sound tracks to satisfy the craving. Every once in a while I listen to Stormpeaks OST and Silverpine OST. The feeling passes.
>>34040770Realise those times are gone. Preserve the fond memories but also make new memories with your wife and friends. Don't try to recreate anything, let it come naturally.
>>34041790I listen to zone soundtracks at times just to calm myself.I have moved on, I know I'll never play the game because the last time I played, almost 10 years ago, I already wasn't as good as I remembered. Yeah I was doing stuff, but it never felt right. Just monotonous. I stopped around the time I started talking to this random girl, and now we're married for 3 years and brought a house, which is something I wouldn't have ever imagined in my life. I always saw myself as that "gamer guy" stuck in the early 2010s era.But I'll be damned if nostalgia doesn't hit like a truck sometimes.
>>34040770Indulge in those bygone things a little bit. This provides you closure and helps you realize how different you are from that past version of yourself.You can play WoW classic today.But you will find you can't recreate the same experiences as when you were younger. That is the past.
>>34040770>On a purely rational level I know it's just nostalgiaman, what does that even mean?shouldn't let that ruin the memories or make them any less meaningful, even if it hurts more>How do I handle the extreme nostalgia for bygone things?i wish i had adviceit's one thing to have extreme nostalgia/grief for beautiful/magical times, but it's another thing to feel like your current life is hell in comparisonyou should both:- try not to let the grief/loss ruin the good memories- try to make sure your present life is atleast tolerable, and that you're content during the day>>34040793godspeedgood luck to you both, and respect for starting families
