People who worked in a cinema, what was it like? Did it suck? What did you like and what did you hate?
>>3502017435mm oldfag here.Flirt with your coworkers as much as humanly possible. You'll never have this many forced late nights with cute girls again at any future point in your life. Realize the friends of the managers never get scheduled with anyone by accident. Smoking cigarettes will get you more effortless friends and more free breaks.Nothing will ever get the smell of popcorn out of your work clothes. Eating free popcorn on the clock can genuinely help with food bills, it's high in fiber and will make you feel full.Not many downsides for a part-time job. Upselling is predatory when families are spending $200+ to see the latest CGI slop-of-the-month children's movie, but you'll be expected to do it for minimum wage and will feel gross about it the whole time. Late nights and weekends can suck, volatile scheduling isn't great, popular kid and teen movie premiers can be a prep and cleanup nightmare, all around still beats fast food or kitchen work.Cleaning the fryer sucks, cleaning the popper sucks, customers suck. Concessions is the worst position. Usher is cushy when it's busy and you can scuttle around unseen, especially if you don't do toilets. Booth is always king.Best icee flavor is mixed, pretzel bites are best extra crispy, intentionally forgetting FIFO lets you damage out a surprising amount of candy for staff. Corporate doesn't really care. Make the most of complimentary tickets and see everything that's released. Try not to go alone if you can help it. It can be a great job for your social life. Late nights can wear you down over time if your life is full in other areas.You can also become a lifer, if you really want to. Worked with a guy who worked his way up from minimum wage projector guy to general manager, corporate chain, took all the stock options, built a decent life without more than a bit of night school as required for promotions. It's possible, but you'll pay in other ways.Would recommend it as a minimum wage first job to anyone.
>>35022321notOPcool story, i read it in full.too bad i dont really watch movies and dont own a TV; i like to keep my subconsiousness cleanalso the movie theaters here are all closing, they are in the red. ppl just stream on line nowadays
How do I get rid of my extreme self-hatred and impending fear that I will never, ever be allowed to get what I want in life?Context: I'm a woman in my 30s who was diagnosed with level 1 autism (formerly Asperger's) when I was a kid in the 90s, back when girls were only diagnosed if we had serious behavioural issues. I was gaslit to hell and told that because I was autistic I would always be a stack of shit and I would have no other future than to be a couch potato for the rest of my life. It was always pounded into me that I was inadequate in everything, even the things I was good at.Now here I am madly in love with a man. He's a teacher and YouTuber with a decent following who happens to live in my city. I've had a few terse conversations with him online and I believe he's nearly perfect for me. The problem is, he's already in a relationship. He told me that he and his partner are going through a turbulent time and they may separate pretty soon. Obviously, I would jump at this opportunity to ask him to be with me, but the problem is, I feel like I'm way too inadequate for him since I'm autistic and have communication issues and such. If I "steal" him away from his current partner, there's a very big chance I'll fuck up our relationship, he'll dump me, and he'll be left with nothing, which I don't want. I want to be romantic with him but I keep feeling that I'll ruin him and he'll be mad at me if I do. I feel like God wants me to die alone because I'm never good enough for anyone. Any advice?
>>35017823Maybe loving yourself and having some self worth you pathetic autistic retarded bitch.
>>35018141And how do I do that?
>>35017823And autistic women are... what?
Bump
>>35014624No man will ever love you fucking ugly bitch, kys immediately.
hello, it's my second post here!well, recently things have been going great and i sorta figured out a bed situation with my lovely gf, or so i thought. we had sex, like an actually good sex i would say, but i couldnt bring myself to climax. on the contrary, a couple days later, i was given an opportunity for some gooning and oh boy what a fun i had! that made me realize - what if i might not be interested in people, then? or rather in an actual sex with them? does that make me an asexual? should i do something about or accepting? talk it out with my gf?but then something else occured to me - there's a lack of flavour in everything around me recently, be it job, social meetings, hobbies, even gaming and anime feels bland recently. so i figured out that mayhaps this asexuality could be the product of said apathy, but what could cause this apathy then? i do take antidepressants, but no matter if i increase or lower the dose its still the same. i just feel stupid and cant figure it out, how do i work around it? how can i enjoy sex, enjoy life again? this past month has been so ass i feel like it would be better to break out with my love so she can experience an actual relationship instead of this shell i provide. any ideas?
>>35025455> i do take antidepressants, but no matter if i increase or lower the dose its still the sameTalk to your prescriber. This may be the root cause, even if it's not apparent at first.
I’m 19 and have a crush on a ~32 year old co-worker. At first I thought it was more of a “he’s in the same vicinity of me and he looks nice” casual crush but about a few months ago he just randomly started talking to me out of the blue.He’s very charming, funny and a bit of a goof-ball, he would tease me a lot about the shoes I wore (cause I always wore mary-janes or flats) but he recently stopped doing so cause apparently he didn’t want me thinking he was making fun of me. I gave no indication I was uncomfortable with his teasings but he double-downed on his apology, because I don’t have even talk to men often his apology felt really heart-felt and honestly just made my crush worse. We still talk sometimes now, but my schedule barely overlaps with his.The thing is I can’t gauge at all that he likes me, I act kinda retarded around him and I’m worried I’m too obvious about it, but he doesn’t seem to avoid me or anything. He talks to everyone and additionally he’s really liberal leaning so I wouldn’t be surprised if he thought a 13 year age gap was “creepy” or whatnot. I want to shoot my shot but I also don’t want to make him uncomfortable
>>35025430lmao. it's in retail + he doesn't have a degree
>>35025438that is also another concern of mine, he seems like a nice guy and all but in the time i've known him he's already gone thru like two relationships (it's only been 8 months)
Yeah go ahead and be on your supervisor's dumb hoe pipeline lmao, enjoy getting dumped and dealing with herpes the rest of your life.
>>35025865yk what I needed to hear that, thanks anon
cool question, retard op
Ever since I was growing up and seen Miranda Cosgrove on TV. I always wanted to meet herI honestly truly don't feel happy about anything. The only thing that will make me happy in this life is meeting herEveryday I wake up and just feel absolutely miserable because of not having her by my sideWhen can we clone 100% of a person so I can have a Miranda Cosgrove?
>>350252992 weeks
>>35025299What makes you think we haven't?
>>35025299I’m the same but with Ariana grande
How do I permanently leave this shithole for good? This is going to sound stupid but I spend most of my free time just doomlurking here. When the site went down due to PHP's cuck coding I actually got some drawing done and got started on some stuff I had backlogged. Do any of you anons know anyone who managed to leave and how did they do it?
I have what’s known as non-reciprocal hatred, several people hate me but I don’t hate them in return. It’s quite exhausting I just live with them hating me but I don’t hate them in return. Anyone else got the same thing?
Probably, but im not exactly trying to be friends with the people who hate me, either. They can stay mad and I'll continue not giving a fuck.
How do I stop worrying about my height? I'm between 5'10 - 5'11.5 (Results were between these depending) I haven't measured myself properly since I was like 19 almost 4 years ago because Im afraid of it being a number I don't like. I am constantly upset when I see men taller then me, it creates an deep anxiety. Women my height or taller then me while uncommon also upsets me. How can I cope? How can I stop worrying about this?
>>35025405Short men are warriors too, a lower center of gravity has always been an advantage in armed combat, short men are more likely to be descended from humanities greatest soldiers. They handle gun recoil better today even and tall people died more on the march to war because their bodies aren’t built for endurance.
>>35024787It's just one unidealized quality. It can even be sort of endearing. You're still very young. Networking matters most. Don't burn bridges. You're perfect cuddling height for most women.
>>35024787You're fine. Unless you have literal dwarfism, you're fine. And even those guys pull.
>>35024787>Women my height or taller then me while uncommon also upsets me.Gayy
>>35025405>i'll never understand why foids prefer tall men.Women are more materialistic when it comes to relationships than men are. I blame social media.
Moids, why aren't you taking his advice? Women are literally BEGGING you!>Step 1: Stop playing video games>Step 2: Head to great clips and get that lettuce cleaned up>Step 3: Hit a shower (when dating hygiene is critical)>Step 4: Go clean your car>Step 5: Sign up for a yoga class>Step 6: Go to the yoga class>Step 7: Ask a cute for her phone number at yoga class>Step 8: Follow up within 2 days with a phone call and ask them out for this coming weekend Friday or Saturday night.>Step 9: IMPORTANT - come up with a good game plane for date night. Get a dinner reservation, get an activity planned. Let them know in advance what you are doing so they can dress appropriately. I know you are gunna roll off the couch and head to date night, but they are not. They are going to stress about what to wear and call at least 6 different people on FaceTime to ask their opinion.>Step 10: I highly recommend you bring flowers to the door step. I’m not covering that you go to the doorstep, because if you don’t do that you have no hope here. Women want men to date them. You don’t need to break the bank on flowers. Head to Trader Joe’s. Grab 2 different kinds of flowers. If you don’t know what matches find the closest looking lady to your mom at TJ’s and ask her. Wrap the 2 flowers into 1 bouquet with paper. Bonus Points you can cut open a TJ bag and use that as the paper.>Step 11: Be a gentleman on the date.
>>35022003HAI would say I’m average at best since I only get fat bitches messaging me on dating apps (which I realise is a better result than a lot of men). But I’ve never had a girlfriend and girls never approach me
>>34996932>Moids, why aren't you taking his advice?Because it's not advice, it appears to be a series of orders, aimed at making womens dating lives easier, coming from no authority.
>>35000612Everything in my life is useful. I exist to create value. I will not do a single thing that is not utilitarian.
>>35000612Make me. You wont do shit pussy lol
>>35022001The evidence is already there in giant piles, you are martyring yourself for no reason.
>pull women>sometimes they even ask me for my number>still get ghostedWhat do modern woman mean by this?
>>35025190Give me an example of what to say after procuring the number or snapchat.
>>35025289>>35025337Most likely these>>35025340You're advertising your stupidity and insecurity
>>35025145Do you meet them partying? If yes, then they are often just in the mood due ot the general party vibe or being drunk or whatever, and once real life rears its ugly head on monday you're just a distant blurred memory.
>>35025440And now you are projecting your insecurity. Damn. You should get therapy
>>35025483I've met them various places; in public, in shops, stores, bars, and at the beach. Friends have told me that I might be "too good-looking" and it scares them. I'm not trying to be a jerk-off or anything, in fact, I was a chud most of my life and was afraid of girls thanks to my abusive mother. I've just recently in the past year started cold-approaching and talking to girls in person. I've found out that I'm attractive, though not conventionally.
I'm not healthy for the communities I interact with. All I want is for everyone to do as I say and never lose patience with me as I forever remain the center of attention. So I have literally no choice but to post on 4chan since I can be anonymous and never be identified as persistently incapable of being helped.What do?
>>35025357Same lmao. I just gave up on real life, everyone thinks I’m chill and funny but that’s just because I have zero social ambition in real life I just relax and joke and I save being myself making long political statements and stuff for 4chan.
>>35025365>everyone thinks I’m chill and funnyNobody thinks I'm that. They just think I'm obnoxious.
How hard is it to become a professor? I have a master's in history and I work as a high school teacher and I think I'd much rather teach adults and uni students because children are terrible most of the time and I hate having to babysit and be responsible for people with zero impulse control or maturity. I truly dread going to work every day.
>>35023504pls let me know if you try. i just started my teaching career and damn it looks bleak. i don't know what's more blackpilling: the children or coworkers/admin. probably the latter honestly. i remember when i student taught i got placed in one of the worst districts in my state and i had to teach these kids about ww1. the whole idea i was trying to get them to understand was that the weapons invented during the conflict created mass death on a scale never before seen, and my mentor was having none of it. i remember her pulling me aside after one lesson to tell me "you're trying to get these kids to learn what the weapons did, what they really should be learning is the weapons." and spent 10 minutes explaining to me how i should re model my lessons into just having these kids study the weapons and dates of the war and nothing more. there's the entire system for you, no deep learning whatsoever. i seriously wonder if what i'm doing is evil more times than i'd like.i'm teaching special ed for the job security but wholly fuck i can't even remotely try to puit any intelligence in my lessons without admin nosing their way in and have me churn out surface-level garbage. i wish i could say it was only the retards who are retarded, but truth be told gen ed isn't better. no one can read. no one can do any deep thinking. teachers are all hopped up on caffeine and bitch in teacher's lounges. hopefully college would be a better place to teach but considering most of these students are gonna wind up there i somehow doubt it'll be much better. at least you'll paid for research, though.
>>35023504It's brutally difficult, especially in the humanities. It's not that you need to be particularly brilliant to become a professor but that there's an unreal amount of competition. Academia is in a state of crisis and departments like history are getting hammered especially hard. State flagship schools are shutting down humanities programs all over the place, and elite schools are slashing non-STEM PhD cohorts down to only a few students. To get admitted anywhere decent you're going to have to compete with 300+ tryhards, some of whom are going to have connections to the admissions committee (in addition to masters degrees, research experience, publications etc). It needs to be a great (like top 20) school too because you absolutely are not getting an academic job in 2026 with anything less than that. After that you're going to need to do a postdoc, which are also competitive. It might be multiple postdocs. From there, good fucking luck getting a tenure track position. Again, you are going to have to battle with 300+ tryhard applicants except this time its for one position at University of Iowa. This is all happening while you're trapped in postdoc limbo earning bullshit pay and moving to a new city every few years for a new position. If you don't get extremely lucky and eventually land one of the tiny number of new professor slots nationwide in your subfield, you just quit and leave academia with a PhD no one really cares about and niche work experience. Basically, don't do it unless you can get into a Harvard tier school. At the very least, read this before you consider it. Also understand that this was written in 2021. Everything issue described here has gotten much, much worse due to AI, declining undergrad enrollment, and Trump administration funding cuts.https://acoup.blog/2021/10/01/collections-so-you-want-to-go-to-grad-school-in-the-academic-humanities/comment-page-1/
>>35023504A PhD is pretty much a prerequisite for a university job, though not always for a community college.
>>35023504>I have a master'sNot gonna be easy. Some colleges will let you work as a grad lecturer or something but you will be expected to work on getting published on top of working towards your PhD and teaching your courses. All for what will likely be equal or less pay than your teaching job.
I fucked up big time. I drunkenly told my coworker, which also happens to be my boss, that I had feelings for her and have had for a while. She knows my girlfriend. I didn’t even want anything to happen since I love my girlfriend and don’t plan on leaving her I genuinely don’t know why the fuck I did it. I called her the next day to apologize and she seemed to take it well but at work she’s all avoidant and cold whereas she never was like that before. I gotta find a new job, right?
>>35024682You're an impulsive retard. It'd be pretty funny if your boss tracked your girl down and told her what happened.
>>35024682>Can't a man love two women at the same time? I'd never cheat, ever.lel, said the loller lellingly as he lelled his lol
>>35023743Quit alcohol.
>>35025224She won’t. She already has a reputation for being crazy and a compulsive liar and she’s smart enough to realize that is a bad idea.>>35025276First real actual advice here. And yeah, I think im done.
>>35025629>She already has a reputation for being crazy and a compulsive liar>it’s unironically her personality which made me like her.You are cooked. Leave your girlfriend and go be with crazy bitch cuz your girlfriend deserves better and you know it.
and how do we fix them? are they hard wired into being submissive to the most evil, unfair, vulgar person around?
but i get your point
>>35025449They've always been like that
>some womenOnly a few. Why do you care?
>>35025449OP, your problem is thinking there is something to fix.WOMEN ARE SUBMISSIVE BY NATURE. THEY LIKE BEING THREATENED AND DOMINATED.
>>35025449Women mostly prefer men who are mean to other men, but not to the woman herself. Any woman who wants to be dominated in everyday life (not just a sexual context) usually has mental illness or trauma.
Thread question: Are we too horny, Westernbros?Previous: >>35021781
>>35027845Sorry I meant claws and muscles to rip the guts out of other people to assert dominance
