Where do people usually find drug dealers honestly?

Im romantically interested in 2 of my coworker chicks. I just started there a month ago but there's 2 chicks I like. 1 of them I've never talked to and works in a different department but shes attractive. Another one is my team lead and shes either very friendly with me for no reason or likes me and they're both my age BTW.

The girl in the other department I only ever see her in the break room or when I'm walking around. She hasnt really given me choosing signals. So like what's the best way to test her interest or display interest in this scenario?

My team lead is attractive and she constantly initiates conversations with me. She's like constantly trying to have personal conversations and she goes out of her way to include me. Like she'll be talking to someone else and bring me in the conversation by asking my opinion on it. Also today she asked me what my off days are and if I had a good day yesterday. And she looks at me all the time and smiles at me. What would you do in this situation?

I would go after the one that is obviously interested in you. But since she is your boss, idk how that would work?
>>
>>34147147
>What would you do in this situation?
I wouldn't bother hitting on the girl in the other department, because she's not interested. Your team leader possibly is interested, but it's generally a mistake to date someone you work with: ask yourself seriously what it's going to be like trying to work with her when you're getting through a really bitter break-up.
>>
>>34147147
>I just started there a month ago
You don't know what the corporate culture is yet. What you read as personal interest by your boss may just be the normal friendliness of the office or the part of her job that involves encouraging new staff.

There's a 18yo girl who's into me, and I'm 24. She's still in high school and I'm finishing college. The thing is, we have a lot of things in common and I kinda like her too. Am I a creep? How much of a bad idea is it going out with her?
If the best thing to do is to get away from the situation, what would be the best way to do it?

>>34147529
I think that's the right call. The "half your age plus seven years" thing is a surprisingly good guideline as to what people find acceptable (even though people don't consciously think in those terms). If a girl is 18 and has just started college, people aren't very fazed by her dating a third or fourth year student; but if the guy is a tutor who is about to complete his PhD, that will be met with raised eyebrows. On the other hand, if she's a third year student, they'll probably say "okay" to that. And, like it or not, there is a big mental difference between a third year college student and someone who is still in high school. Also, like the other anon said, if you're 24 and you have a lot in common with a teenager, that says some unflattering things about your level emotional development: you *shouldn't* have anything in common with a teenager any more.
>>
>>34147474
I don't think its that bad, I remember a girl I liked when I was in highschool went out with a 24 year old and whilst I was pissed, I didn't think he was a creep.

Also don't care what people think, that never helps anything.

I'm 25 and feel lost in where I am in life. I just got a degree in Biology but that field is underpaid and I have a very bleak outlook for the future of the middle and lower class in America with inflation, the continued greed of corporate America, and the rise of AI. I realize I need more skills or another career path FAST, one will lead to me getting a job that at least pays 6 figures if I have any hope of retiring comfortably.

My immediate hunch is that I should get into either Computer Science or Engineering. I was far too good at math for me to not utilize it that strength. It's been 3 years since I took a math course, but I can use online resources to relearn calc 1-3 and Diff EQ.

Right now, I feel like I should start my endeavor into these fields by learning other actual practical programming languages besides Python which I hear is sort of a meme outside of data science

How the FUCK do I rewire my dopamine fried brain into getting a rush out of learning practical skills the same way I get a rush out of 3D modeling or gaming?

Is it even worth attempting to get into computer science? I hear that field is oversaturated, is riddled with layoffs in favor of H1B jeets, and that most beginner positions are being threatened by the rise of AI. Should I even go for this field if I don't already have a genuine passion for it? Is there any way to develop or trick myself into having a passion for it?

You don't. Studying will never feel like playing video games so stopping thinking it ever will. You just deal with it.
>>
>>34135151
Do it with friends. Its still not nice in itself but now you are overcoming hardship together. Find a study group, over time, you will probably meet people you get along with well. And if you can't find such a group, literally just find any random dude that looks alright and ask him if he already has someone to study with.
Wishing you the best

can't relate, taking light doses of THC makes studying shit way easier

I picked up some japanese just watching those videos of dudes going on ome tv talking to japanese people in english and switching to japanese

I feel like the people who think weed makes them "lazy and stupid" either smoke WAY TOO MUCH at once or never tried edibles (which honestly is way better for studious pursuits)

Got better at drawing high as well since it makes me look at drawings "as they are" while I'm drawing them

It's a double-edged sword. It helps with art while you're high, but then it fucks up your REM sleep which impacts learning.
>>
>>34147923
why i tend to space out my use to then fix my sleeping patterns because it is true it can fuck up your sleep, though at least for me I have retained pretty much everything I've learned high

sober I tend to forget bits of info, I read somewhere supposedly taking light doses of THC edibles has long term benefits vs the typical smoking blunts or doing bonghits which really should only be done with a group of friends for a celebration rather than solo on your own

Won't lie I have had very nice flower high sleep but it's not the same kind of sleep as just getting a good night's rest sober after being tired from an activity

Should I tell my gf the sole reason I'm so hard on myself and hold myself to such an unrealistically-high standard is because she is blonde?
Basically, I'm white but ever since I was a child I've always been slightly obsessed with blonde hair (not even racist, I just like the color of gold), but because my hair is brown (and also because I'm short) I've never seen myself as worthy of a blonde woman and now that I'm with one I'm constantly paranoid that if I say the wrong thing or become even slightly complacent she might lose interest on me.
She has noticed I'm constantly worrying about little things, and that in itself is making me even more worried.
I've dated other girls before, and I never felt like this.

This is a mostly good post but very often women do not see the man as their equal. Women usually want a power imbalance in the relationship. She either thinks OP is better than her and so wants to be with him, or she thinks she gives in to whatever she wants so she has power over him. Either way, OPs insecurity may be an ick to her and he needs to get himself together.

>>34146109
I would not tell her that her hair color makes you feel unworthy of her.
1. It's stupid to feel like this. Hair color is hair color. I like blondes too, they make feel kind of flustered. But hair color doesn't define her. I wouldn't be a blonde if I didn't like the rest of her.
2. Stop showing your worries to your woman. Keep it inside unless it is about something related to her that you need to address with her. If you're having a problem that she cannot help with, don't tell her. It makes you look weak, and she may not like that. You're worried she'll leave you if you keep worrying so you have to stop worrying. It's a catch 22.

Compare yourself to previous versions of yourself and let go of comparisons of other people. Even if you had done everything right, we're making $100k>, house, wife, kids, hobbies and friends there is ALWAYS someone who appears to be doing better than you, that's the nature of comparison and social media amplifies it.
Remind yourself that you're doing it now, and that means something. Keep doing it, would you rather be 45 and just starting? 50? 60? Now is always better than never.

In true do what I say not as I do fashion, I'm almost 32 and in your same boat, petrified of having to touch that hot stove. I bet you wish you'd done what your doing now at 32 then 40, so keep that mindset. Better 40 then 41, friend! You can do it and I believe in you.

Get a hairsystem or start tranny drugs like finasteride for life, but good luck not geting side effects from it.
>>
>>34145478
Ask your doctor whether it makes sense for you to try finasteride/dutasteride. (Don't ask 4chan)
Norwood 2 is fine so if you do start meds you shouldn't need a transplant or a hair system.
Not that there's anything wrong with those. They're both just a huge pain in the arse.
You probably look much more balding to yourself than to girls. Girls never clocked I was balding. They'd never notice and when I told them I was balding they'd be like "you are not balding, don't worry" until I lifted my hair and showed them and then they'd go "oh".

I don't think starving is the way to go, it'll be much harder psychologically than other options and you'll lose muscle mass. You should be in a calorie deficit, tho, just not an insane one
>>
>>34147127
>i really wanna loose body fat really fast
Well, you can't. There is no biological mechanism by which that can happen. The absolute theoretical limit to what you can lose is about 2lb of fat a week; if you try to burn more than that, your body will simply start burning up your muscles, then your liver, kidneys, heart, gut and brain, and you'll die while still obese.
>>
>>34147127
ALL "quick" diets yo-yo back the minute you stop. The only way to lose (and that's the way you spell it, by the way) fat and keep it off is a slow diet, aiming for no more than 1-2 pounds a week. The simplest way to do that is to eat what you normally eat, but less - one sandwich rather than two, no second helpings, etc.
>>
>>34147127
It will help but only if your diet is solid. I lost about 60 pounds over less than a year from mostly dieting. Exercise sometimes gave a boost sometimes not. I did zero jogging, but did some walking/hikes before it got too cold.

If it doesn’t get better while you’re losing weight, it could be something with your hormones, but I wouldn’t worry too much about. I don’t think anything is wrong with you. Your doctor didn’t mention anything like that. You sound fine and you’re able to get stimulated other ways.
I’d talk and listen to your doctor more about it, so I’d just try losing a little bit more weight.

My wife orgasms just with PIV (it's something we had to work at, but now it's close to 100%).

Don't see what the problem is. Your clitoris is all inside your body. watch this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RL6xgBIrVic

That said, my wife did carnivore diet for a few months, is extra trim now, and said she feels even more during sex.

Somehow managed to find someone that loves me 28 years into my life of being alone and I really dont wanna screw it up so I do the best I can at all turns. Dad always told me to not let someone go if theyre head over heels for you to just chase some other tail because Id regret it. I may not be 100% on the person Im with but I know Id regret it if i stopped
Well anyway we cant have children and i dont know what to do now. i dont want to get to middle age and not have any kids and all our stuff just gets trashed or whatever when we die. i still feel like the both of us live the life of perpetual teenagers and in bursts i enjoy just coming home, playing games n having someone to be with but you cant live like this forever. i feel like the times in which i say i dont have anything to live for stem from the fact im doing the same shit i was doing since i was 15. id probably be scared to have a child but if i dont i think id be even more miserable.

Me and my parents want to get back into church. I'm all for this because I think faith and the community that a church provides, when done right, can change a person for the better. We haven't been to church for over 16 years and we don't know where to start.

Our extended family is very religious, but they are also gossipy and two faced and have caused so much family problems that we are very hesitant to just join any church. What we want is a church that fits the following criteria

>Isn't zogged
>Isn't ran by people lining their pockets
>Isn't ran by retards who think dinosaurs are fake or that evolution is a grand lie
>Will not lie by telling us homosexuality is not to be discouraged
>Will not also lie by telling us that we should hate gays and abandon our loved ones if they come out
>Doesn't engage in MAGA worship
>Is charitable
>Is attended by people who are nice and are willing to help their fellow man

We live near Detroit Michigan if that makes it helps

Go church-shopping.

It's a perfectly legitimate process. Just visit a different church near you each Sunday until you hit one you feel comfortable with. You can even tell them that's what you're doing - they won't be offended.

I’m a Catholic. Based on your criteria, I can only think of three denominations that fit.

>Catholicism
>Orthodoxy
>Lutheranism

I begrudgingly put Lutheranism on that list, but I have to be charitable and not lie, Lutherans are probably the strongest of the protestant denominations, they still keep many of the old traditions and despite their heretical differences, they still at least take the faith seriously.

Pretty much all Protestant denominations are Zionist and so is Roman Catholicism, so your best best is to come to terms with homosexuality being sin and become Eastern Orthodox. My ROCOR church has been very generous in helping me and many others for free, and I'm not even Russian.

I never knew our friendship mattered so little to him. I asked him if he wanted to hang out tomorrow and he said that won't be possible anymore because he's living together with his GF. Is that how it's supposed to be when you're dating? I never dated anyone so I don't know but I think this is fucked up. Is he in the wrong or is it me that's overreacting? I don't man, we've been doing stuff together since we were little and now we won't ever see each other again because he started dating? This is just sad man, I feel like an idiot for considering him my friend all this time.

This is just how it goes when you get older, friends fade away it's usually less direct though. Otherwise it would have happened when they had kids anyway. You need your own GF/Wife or to at least make some more friends now so down the line you will have some friends you have known for a while and it's much harder to make friends after your 30s.

He’ll be back when the relationship ends. In the meantime, find some other friends. When people are in relationships, they really don’t have time for their friends
