I got 8 hours to kill each day at work, what should I listen to to learn something else that can better myself? A lesson on youtube, an audiobook, podcast or something? Suggestions? I want to get educated on something that'll help me get out of this deadend job.
>>34174840any unique ideas or should i just ask chatgpt?
>>34174840You could try taking online courses for thing, for example coding.You could search for better jobs in that time, or for an opportunity like trade school.
>>34175361no it has to be just something to listen to where i can't see the screen
>>34176031I installed AntennaPod and mostly listen to a bunch of history podcasts. Finding books you want to read and getting audiobooks of them is also really helpful.
maybe comptia training, just dont take notes
Is it a good idea to date a gamer?
>>34167472yes.
NO>No?NO!!
>>34167472They won't cheat because you'll always know where they are.Just sayin
>>34167472it's not a particularly good or bad ideait completely depends on what the person is like"is it a good idea to date someone with red hair?"the fuck are these threads, man?
>>34167472Are you also a gamer?Do you play the same type of games?If not, do you have a hobby that you do alone?
It's been 5 months since the relationship got serious and I can't tell if I'm imagining being unhappy or if I'm actually being unhappy. Like the reasons? I feel like they are valid reasons to be pissed off about. I honestly can't tell if he loves me or if he just gets off to who I am. I'm also scared that I might not be able to find anyone else other than him. I don't know what to do. Please help
>>34172824It's trueee
>>34173027>It's trueeeIt makes no difference whether it's true or not. Even if it is true that you'll never find anyone else, it is much better to be single than to stay with someone who makes you unhappy. If he makes you unhappy, leave. If he makes you happy, then stay with him BECAUSE he makes you happy, not for any other reason.
>>34173275I'm financially dependent on him
>>34172646If you can't say "Let's talk about this relationship" then the relationship never got serious
>>34172646>Like the reasons? I feel like they are valid reasons to be pissed off about.And these reasons are? You have to actually explain your issue if you want any real help.
Any feasible way to have kids but not to have to deal with wife? Some kind of rent-a-maid deal or something?
adopt orphans
>>34175816Kys, retard. Children need a mother and father.
>>34175816https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surrogacy_laws_by_countryThere are Chinese billionaires who have had dozens of children by this method.
>>34175955ideally yes, mother and father both. but a single father can do a lot better job of raising son & daughter than a single mother can do.
>>34175970Yeah but how do they take care of the child in early years?
Are there dating apps where perverts can meet other perverts?And please don't say Duolicious. That thing is shit. Utter fucking shit.
>>34173404>not even Americans say cuh nect shunUm, lol, that's how I say it.
>>34172334Yeah, I don't see any lolicon chatrooms dude. All I see are government websites about reporting CASM.
>>34173375How about Featherstonehaugh, pronounced Fanshaw?
Does any1 know any bbw chat rooms?
>>34175813That's not perverted. Liking black women is very normie.
Need a new laptop and I have no idea what is sufficient. I want to be able to play stuff like Europa universalis 5, Age of empires 4, Age of Mythology retold and Warhammer total war. What specs should I look out for?
eu5 and total Warhammer mean you need minimum 32gb ram
>>34173421what pricetag can i expect?
>>34173391Those are not very demanding games.But you will need a gaming laptop just to have a smooth experience.A gaming laptop means that it needs to have a dedicated GPU.Look around on YouTube what are the best budget friendly gaming laptops out there. There are ton of reviews, do your research.You should probably also ask on >>>/g/
I think RTX 5050 or RTX 5060 (or their Radeon RX counterparts) are sufficient for these games, plus a little upside for future, more demanding games. Pick a laptop that has this GPU and at least 32 GB RAM.That said, if you're willing to get into building, IMO it's a better investment in the long run to build a desktop PC than to buy a laptop every few years. GPUs run hot and laptops are cramped, prohibitively hard to repair/service, and just do not last nearly as long as a solid desktop.
>open thread, full of trollerslol. u can read the specs on steam. they always post minimum hardware specs and recommended ones on theis games page
Girl at work who sits across from my cubicle did this sorta weird thing today (I work on Sundays lol, gotta love New York) She like sprinted at me, grabbed a chair and pulled it up directly next to me I’m just looking at her and she gestures that she’s gonna whisper in my ear like to the point where her lip is touching my ear, and then she says “how do you do XYZ excel shortcut” and then runs away from me to her side of the aisle. I tell her how to do the shortcut and then she comes over and kinda rubs my back and says thanks. I have diagnosed Aspergers and I have absolutely zero ability to read women. Was this her making fun of me or was it something else?
>>34173978True, but I don't have social medias. I admit it's a stupid idea, I've only gotten 2 replies in the last several hours and they're blank.I thought it'd be decent entertainment to talk with random people today.Have an amazing day.God bless anyone reading
>>34173320She got the job by lying and saying she knew all about excel, and she's afraid she'll lose it if anyone finds out she can't.
>>34173974what the fuck are you talking about, weirdo
>>34175685She's not even smart enough to google how to do excel shortcuts. She's truly cooked and her only redeemable quality is to spread her legs and take a cock.
>>34173320she just trying to manipulate you to be her tool
How can I improve myself? Any advice is welcome, both externally and mentally.
>>34170467Whatever you're doing, don't.Whatever you're not doing, do
>>34170467Just work harder
stand up/legs spread and properly wipe your ass after you've shittedget every bit of fecal matter anon
Be calm about everything. Calmness is what makes tougher than most people.
>>34170467Eat healthy (this is the biggest one), sleep on time and enough, work out, take a shower and brush your teeth, cut your hair and beard, clean where you live, do laundry and dishes and wear clean clothes. Take care of any medical conditions.99% of good mental health will come from doing these basic good things for yourself
How do you get a gf if you are autistic? Please don't answer this thread if you are your typical neurotypical reddit user.Being autistic means I have a very hard time socializing and I also have a lot of added past trauma from being bullied as a child due to being different. All my experiences with women have been very bad unless they were also autistic. But even then it was still not that great mainly because online dating does not work. I have no idea where to find autistic women irl or close to me. I can not do another ldr ever again after being treated like trash by ever single woman I tried to date that way so please don't recommend that even if it easier to find autistic women that way. No I am not low functioning and I can mask, I just don't feel comfortable doing so.
>>34172876I hope you don't either, but women are drawn into men who are obsessed with something not them. I don't know how it works but they feel comfortable with men who aren't vulnerable to their emotional swings.
>>34175193This is not even true so many clearly very normal guys who do nothing all day but watch footbal and other stuff like this have cute loyal gfs becuse they are neurotypical. I hate being autistic made my life hell because nobody would ever understand me and connect with me outside of the internet where they live so far away. I hate online friendships and relationships so much at this point I want something real.
>>34175637>who do nothing all day but watch footbalThat is an obsession, is it not?
>>34172838Autists hate other autists, especially autist females and autist male pairings. It's Foid Vs Moid, and they are at war.
>>34175667>That is an obsessionThen I am also obsessed with my special interests but that is not enough.
Yo, I'm in America. Can a hospital refuse to service you if you still owe them like a gazillion dollars from the last time you were admitted but had no insurance?
>>34173352mental retardation isn't life threatening.
>>34173352It's really not that complicated. Non life threatening = you can exist without dyingLife threatening = you will die if you don't get ___ treatment
>>34173352It's really fucking easy - are you going to die from the disease or condition or not? And if the answer is "yes", there's a sub-clause of "are you going to die today? This week? This month?">boobs doneElective surgery, so non-life threatening.>pneumonia?Potentially life-threatening disease. >Blood clots? Life threatening condition. But you've already had tests to know this so they've already admitted you.>Broke my elbow?Non-life threatening condition
>>34174272>Broke my elbow?>Non-life threatening conditionSeriously? You know how many people in the past have died of broken bones before modern medicine was a thing?
>>34174678No. How many?
I was looking for some JAV porn and I found this video of a guy who is 24 but as a result of a genetic condition he ended up looking like picrel. I didn't jerk off to it but I really thought about it, and it makes me feel like shit. Does this make me a pedophile? I was looking for Kaho Shibuya videos (the woman in the picrel) but I thought about jerking off to this one in particular due to how fucked up it was, I didn't give in but the fact that I considered it makes me want to kms
why is he in a little suit?
There's a difference between being a pedophile and being into straight shota, lolicon stuff since you know it's fictional if you're doing it to hentai and if you're looking at live action stuff you know the participants are actually of legal age and not being forced into this. A pedo is the type of person who would spank it to the epestien files tapes or actively look for hentai where the girl or boy are underage and act realistically like the toy story doujin that caused the author to get death threats for how realistic he protrayed that girl's rape
>>34175419Pic related is sad. I bet that woman found out she couldn't get pregnant.
>>34175419Do you have an MP4 about mornings with a gger mom?
>>34175056No. Thinking is not a crime. How else would you know you weren't a pedo except by considering and rejecting it?
Hi, I'm an indie filmmaker and "Pururin" from the welcome to the nhk soundtrack is a pretty central sound in my short film, I'm trying to bypass the youtube copyright detector while keeping the spirit of the original in order to submit my movie to festivals since I know they use the same bot as youtube. How should I go about remixing it? slow+reverb?https://youtu.be/tg8Jahz6RM4?si=p0wyEhcldv8gN8sp
>>34165468you're telling me... i tried to upload havergal brian's gothic symphony, of which there's already plenty of vids on youtube of that exact recording, and yet it gets copyright cucked and blocked worldwide... like nigger can you at least keep your copyright off my obscure classical music artists from the 20th century holy fuck... what are you making off havergal brian CDs, five dollars a year? you'd benefit more from the publicity of this hidden gem composer than by gatekeeping his works so nobody can listen to him. fucking jew world. WHO ELSE HUH? WHO ELSE?
>>34170550>I like the vocals, I don’t mind changing the restIf the vocals are all you need, then make an original song with the vocals used as samples. Sample culture has been around since music could be recorded at all, so if you run into any problems with automatic copyright detection shit at film festivals, just clarify that you made a sampled mix with the soundbite. With some good remixing, you shouldn’t get any such problems in the first place.Hollywood does it all the time so you wouldn’t be blacklisted or whatever, and you can remix the vocals in fun ways with other original musical ideas to better fit your movie. Just make sure to not have the vocals be too overwhelming in the mix, and have them supplementing an actual musical piece of your own writing, not just a minimal backing track to excuse their inclusion.
let me guess another short film about westoid "otaku" culture? will it be about troons again this time ?
>>34165468is a "short film" that has Pururin as a central sound for it to work worth saving thostep back from your project and ask yourself seriously thisbecause I don't see any non cringy and self serving scenario where that's the case.
>>34165468I just listened to the song and I think this anon is right >>34175543
can't be funny. can't get friends. can't grow bigger or taller. can't get sex. can't lift rocks heavier than other boys. go to school in a fake grade inflated environment with illusory success. can't win academic competitions. can't get internships. can't do anything new or creative or exciting. why do i even exist? AI gets better year after year and the 15 year olds at the BMV are taller and have more defined jawlines than me already. i'm obsolete.
>>34169942If you keep viewing life like this, you’re gonna fall, and you’ll keep falling until you choose to stop, it will only get harder to salvage the remains of your life as time goes on.
>>34170294>Just choose to succeed broSo THAT'S why everyone wins in life!
>>34169942Be more social, you have to practice all of your social skills like going to the gym.
>>34170322You were cursed. You have a mental parasite that keeps telling you you're not good enough. That parasite makes you look for reasons that prove you're not enough, and when you find them, the parasite reproduces.People who don't have that parasite don't have all of what you wrote, they have something, or aspire to something, and nothing tells them they are not enough, so they keep stacking thing over thing, victory over victory, the opposite of what you do.You will have to come to terms with being a failure and start seeing good in the unique conditions that built you. Only then you will start stacking superficial shit after superficial shit.The easiest one in your list is lifting rocks: Just lift rocks and eat, then you will lift a heavier rock. Internship is easy as well, knock on every workplace and tell them you work for them for free or even pay them to work. Being creative and being funny require that you stop looking at yourself in misery. They should be the last steps on your list. Even friends, and even sex, can come before being funny or specially creative. Get rid of those parasites first.
>>34170322You need to stop hating yourself and start applying yourself. Identify your flaws one by one and fix them or stagnate and perish
What if you just never meet anyone, I mean, I never meet anyone out there, bars, work, I cant really communicate with anyone but my family. It's hard to explain, but there just is never an "excuse", to talk to anyone besides greetings. What is my condition called?
>>34175506Self-consciousness.People who talk a lot never think of whether they will make the other uncomfortable, or will they be made felt dumb. Be honest and shameless if you're motivated. If you're not motivated, forget about any sense of "improvement" and focus on seeing if you enjoy life first. Only when you feel you enjoy things, start to communicate them. This is the hard part, people are mostly receptive to things they know. If you only like niches, a lot of people will not understand what you talk about unless you make them try, so that's the idea behind trying things that are popular, so you discover you have something in common with the main population.
>>34175506>What if you just never meet anyoneThe reality is, falling in love and being loved isn't for everyone. Not everyone is meant to be married and become parents. Some are meant to live and die alone as cautionary tales
>>34175579What's my cautionary tale?
My girlfriend said I am really bad at being a dominant man but I can't help it. I want to be sweet and loving and supportive to her but she just reads this as being a bitch. How do I adjust my mindset to stop being so corny?
>>34175458There's a difference between never having an opinion and always being the one who has to decide. A woman shouldn't suddenly lose fucking attraction because you don't know what you want for dinner of all goddamn things, unless she cooks or handles everything else but dinner, then her lazy ass can atleast have an idea. Hell I'll even drive and pay for it, so no. I dont give women a pass on this idk shit. They survived just fine single and now I have to deal with a borderline retard just because suddenly it's my job? So I have to work a 9 to 5, pay bills, hold shit down and you can't even say if you want chicken or beef for dinner? Bitch go starve then.
>>34175477>I dont give women a pass on this idk shit.And why should OP's girlfriend give OP a pass on it, if he is making her take 100% of the decisions and do 100% of the thinking?(Or are you OP?)
>>34175522She shouldn't. Hence my whole point. It's give and take. You should be able to give opinions and suggestions just as well as the opposite party. The only reason why I'm using women as an example is because they're the main ones who sit around all day, not doing shit, and then it's all idk's when 6pm rolls around. If OP is operating like this then he needs to get his shit together but if he's not and his woman is being a infantile moron with choices and decisions then she needs to pull her head outta her ass and actually say what she wants like an adult. Personally I've been with too many women who think giving input is like asking her to plan the entire trip, pay for it, and figure out what we're doing. No, im just asking what fucking hotel you want to stay in. Not hard.
>>34175216Maybe say that to her. Tell her you aren't interested in being an asshole and that's not what you have in mind for your relationship, so if that's what she wants she'll never get it from you. I think male willingness to self-objectify and feed into the toxic expectations of their gfs out of a fear of losing them is a big part of the problem.
>>34175557Yeah good idea, she likes to push this idea that I'm mean because I like it and I tell her no, I'm mean because you don't listen or consider anything and it frustrates me. Like she'll do inconsiderate/stupid things and then wonders why I'm ready to put a foot up her ass (I wont) it's tiresome cause it saps my energy making the problem worse cause now she's upset I dont wanna do anything with her.
