Its not important. You're being an actual retard. Its Like being scared of cooties. Such a weird dumb hill to die on.

Its only important because YOU put emphasis on it, and you only put emphasis on it because someone at some point put it in your head that its important. If no one ever talked about virginity in your entire life you wouldn't care. Maybe whoever told you this mattered was wrong, anon.

I'm arguably more Slavic than she is. And it was her idea. I was ready to let it go after the first coffee, because I thought that was awkward enough. And that's why I thought she was only being polite (not wanting to owe me), but my wise counsel ChatGPT insists otherwise. I'm done making moves, though. Let it fizzle out and hope it doesn't spiral into some half-assed friendship.

>UPDATE 5 (FINAL)
I guess that settles it. She came to work and didn't even say good morning (she has to walk past me to clock in). Even the buddy of mine ChatGPT is done coping.
This thread has been a resounding success, however. Once again, I've achieved what I set out to do, even if it had no effect on material reality in the end.

tl;dr I’m taking over a business and we have $50-80k of equipment stolen and have it on good suspicion most of it is being sold out of a storage facility.

Problem is, the people doing the stealing use rideshare apps.

Has anybody figured out how to track these since the apps require all kinds of gps data anyway?
>>
>>34009369
The police can get warrants to view that data. But if you already reported the theft and the police didn't do jack, best bet is to file a civil suit against the thieves and then subpeona the rideshare companies for that information
>>
>>34010134
Yeah issue is finding out who. Sorry but messcans roll in gangs. There’s like 9 that carpool in an F150 and then some of them have to use ridesharing from their apt because they only have the one car. So I basically have to track down my shit then get police involved.

Having a hard time relying on police for ANYTHING because they fucking help the illegals in the worst ways not joking I’ve seen them let a drunk guy get a ride home after he was caught driving
>>
>>34010416
I think you just have to tail the vehicle to the storage facility or whatever. Also, take pictures of everything you do so that you can give it to the police and do their entire job for them when you do report the theft

Its a bottom tier job nobody wants to do, they will hire anyone because they wil have a crazy turnover rate anyways.

How do I get over the uncomfortable feeling of narcissistic injury? Someone slighted me by talking about money, telling me I didn't have any and insulting me while they called me broke. And I got very pissed off. I want to stop being so weak. I only ever feel insecure around other people, pisses me off how neurotic I can be. But when I'm alone I'm in a flow state. I have never had money growing up, I still don't have a job and when I did I blew it all on video games and bullshit like a retard. I feel very uncomfortable facing the fact that this is a weak point/chink in my armor and it infuriates me. I can't really stand it, how do I get over myself? I am NEVER usually this insecure, outwardly or inwardly. I'm emotionally weak but don't want to be weak overall anymore. I'm sick of feeling like this! I'm a man btw, I just like Lauryn Hill
>>
>>34007475
For stuff like this, the root is normally not being comfortable with who you are. Are you broke? If so, just admit it to yourself. I do it all the time, I tell boomers I'm living paycheck to paycheck, they get visibly uncomfortable over the fact that I've not denying it

I wanna say I'm sorry to hear about your impending death but I wouldn't actually mean it. I've seen death so many times in person now that I'm desensitized to it. And also, you're going to go to a better place than this world. The living will envy the dead etc. I am sorry for any anxiety or suffering you are experiencing though.

>what are some things I should do/experience before I die
God. Experience God and reach out to God. I am not sure that it's become obvious to you yet. But you came from somewhere, and you are going somewhere. The architect of the Universe does not build staircases that lead nowhere. You may not have remembered this fact:

You were nothingness before, death is not new to you. Men and women fear death because of the void of nothingness it represents. Do not be afraid OP. You were nothingness before your birth, and yet despite that, you found life within nothingness, you still became life and that is why you live now. You will lapse into nothingness once more when you die. But remember you will find life after it too, just as you did before your birth. There is an after-life. So you need to prepare for that.

If I were in your shoes, I would experience and serve God in two ways:
Go and see His creation. The natural world, not the one we made. Go and see nature and be around it. Find beautiful natural wonders and experience them.

Lastly, share your wisdom. You may not think you have some. You do, and the closer you approach death's veil, the more of it you have. The most wisest humans I ever met where those who were dying. Because the dying stop pretending they stop bullshitting they speak true because they are going to die. If you can share wisdom so as to help the living, you will leave this world in a better state than when you found it.

God bless you. And please consider pic related.

For the past 5 days I have been experiencing extreme weakness whenever I do stuff like walk up a simple flight of stairs. It feels like I just ran a 10K marathon. Heavy breathing and sweating and heart racing.

It's like I suddenly became a 95 year old man that needs a walker. But I'm 40.

Would it be overkill for me to call 911 for this?

It's a reason for medical tourism, dude. Come to us, to Moscow, you will be treated by doctors well, doctors put you on your feet, and the price tag for medical services will be several tens of times cheaper than in the USA. The only problem is a language barrier, but there actually are some people who know English, English is the most popular second language for multilingual people here, and the computer epoch promotes English language proficiency. Some particularly stupid people use a smartphone program to translate, but it's often a low-quality translation, and a human translator translates better.

That happened to me and then I was hired after unsuccessful interviews with several other companies. I’ve been at this job for decades now. Just keep looking. If you were second best, that’s still pretty good.

I wish I could enjoy sex in the ways other people do. When I hear people say things like "i love the way her hands feel in mine, the smell of her hair, and feeling whole and complete as we embrace" none of that registers with me, like my emotional senses are numbed.

yeah shes like that. either bipolar or bpd, very narcissitic, and derives her happiness from how much others praise her and spoil her. since im not giving her enough of that she lashes out at me and becomes angry because im denying her basic needs as a woman.

Notice the language. You can say she is schizoid, or you can say she is dealing with schizoid-like traits. Discard the first way of approaching the topic, and never use it ever again. From now on, never hand-wave somebody as schizoid/insert-whatever-mental-disorder-etc. She has schizoid-like traits. That's it. She's not a schizoid. Or an autist. She doesn't have BPD. She has a borderline personality. Just like how some people have a warm personality. They are not warmth. Fuck off with the diagnose-y "pathologized" "approach" of "mental health", fuck the entire system, fuck it all up

You wish you could feel what others feel, the joy they feel when XYZ happens. You can (you have the capability) feel all those, but you are too self conscious, and so you cannot notice your surroundings, observe them, feeling the satisfying sensations of a warm and small tug of pressure on your hand, or maybe the feeling of warming up a cold and needy hand. You cannot notice the pleasant fragrance of her shampoo. Or maybe you do notice, but you feel too stressed or defeated to enjoy it's fruity imprint.
>>
>>34010852
You think you are "supposed" to feel "whole and complete" upon embracing, so when you do not, you feel stressed that you are not feeling what you are "supposed" to feel, and you cannot feel "whole and complete" as a result. You try to fake it, but the feeling is just two bodies mashing together, there is no deeper fulfilment achieved, no feeling of complete and utter surrender to a feeling of eternal safety. It's just a front, it's not a guarantee of security, it's just pretend.

Other people put these moments on the pedestal. But all they are doing is living a pretend life. Ignoring what's around them. In favour of the fake feeling of being the king of the world, the king of someone else's world, some person they put on the pedestal, some person who isn't even reliable. They indulge in this feeling, addicted to feeling safe and secure, when in actuality, safety and security is not guaranteed. So when the bubble shatters, and one day that safety and security is taken from them, and the person no longer "loves" them, what were all those hugs and kisses all for in the end? Hollow. Meaningless. Useless.

Learn how to differentiate fake from real.

A hug and a kiss should be compelled because somebody wants to show another that they cherish them. It shouldn't be to larp as "human", or to feel "wanted" or whatever, or to show someone they are "wanted" or "desired" or something. It should simply be to show gratitude, appreciation, a response to an event to reaffirm that you are still with them and will always be there for them.

(That's why I do more of that to cats... But with humans, I can use words, to be more specific and convey more accurate weightings. Since I have higher expectations for humans...)

I’m almost 24 and I still get incredibly anxious about getting a haircut. This anxiety starts even a day before I plan on going to the barber shop. I’ve been experiencing this since I was an adolescent and it must be tied to my desire to look attractive. Today, my anxieties were reinforced after the barber fucked up the haircut and made it too short. Now my average/ugly face is revealed. My hair was the only thing going for me in terms of looks. I’m supposed to work at my shitty service wagie job tomorrow and I’m dreading going in for obvious reasons. I feel worse than I usually do. Does anybody else relate?

Just get a buzz cut or something similar, go bald even, and not have to worry about how it looks since apparently it’s your face that you’re worried about anyways (which the hair was never going to change and hiding can actually signal that you’re insecure about that). Also, it’s a lot easier to wash and whatnot, though you may need to buy beanies and the like, along with caps for your summer.

Truly, I do get worrying about looks, but at a certain point, it does more damage. So just own it, because the type of people judging you for how attractive you are are exactly the type of people whose opinions you shouldn’t care for anyways. If you’re clean and don’t smell bad, and obviously not making others uncomfortable from exposing certain parts of your body (not your face, stupid), then that is what the people whose opinions actually matter will notice in you.
