>>
>>34574535
Nope, no way out. Start writing in your spare time, tho.

Also, on the restaurant thing, most restaurants fail because of bad business practices. How are you keeping track of costs? Do you know the overhead and profit on each dish?
>>
>>34574906
OP here, as far as I'm concerned (and I'm not too concerned) dad is mostly doing this alone and uses Excel-esque app specifically designed for restaurant to keep track of all costs and all proucts stored. We're supposed to profit from every dish we sell, but we cannot be too expensive, that beach town perfers cheaper cafes. I honetly ddon't know much, I just go there, serve dishes, make preparations and go home, but I heard that our Avocdo toast with poached eggs is like 7€, that must be only around double the production cost and from what I heard good price for a dish is supposed to be triple

>>34575094
Your family is already doing more than most restaurateurs, then. You could still try to read some books on it and see if you can help your father run the restaurant
>>
what did you study Op
>>
>>34574732
I really don't like this kind of "hatered"
You just write three offensive word, wait a reaction from me and call it a day
You don't hate Russians enough
>>
>>34574732
why do people hate russians again?
>>
>>34575181
Firstly, Uni-adjacent Portuguese courses (can get you a Student residency)
Secondly, 3d animation course in a trade
>>
>>34575139
Yeah, op should do research and become invested in the family business and do what he can to make it profitable for b the family. Don't be a weenie, become a bigger part of something.
Initiative to do something is powerful. Have some agency over your own life.

>>34575206
Anything is hateble these days

>>34575206
War in Ukraine, many warcrimes including but not limited to selling stolen Ukranian children
>>
>>34575206
the jews said so (NATO)
>>
>>34575264
I get hating Russia as a country for that, but I wouldn't hate on individual Russians for the Ukraine war. I doubt their government is acting on the interest of the Russian people anyway
>>
>>34575295
The thing I hate about antisemitism is that there are many jew who are actively hurting the world, not only jews but also many other wwhite ethnicities and not only white, but antisemites always try to hurt the most innocent people ever, because all of you are weak and stupid and won't ever mess with someone who can bite back
>>
>>34575316
Some regular russian citizens actively buy Ukranian children tho and most choose to ignore the trade itelf or to ignore the whole mess Russian Gov got everyone into. Russian citizens aren't exactly innocent here
>>
>>34574535
Your parents moving to Portugal was likely a big boon for you personally. They helped you avoid the draft and gave you an easier foothold to EU citizenship.
I would personally aim for becoming a permanent resident then citizen of Portugal. I would start building independence by finding my own work outside the restaurant while trying to help my parents still. I would then go to post-secondary, but I'd pick something that is fairly practical.

Do not go back to the meat grinder. Do not enlist or let yourself get drafted.

why they need ukraine children?
russians are poor as fuck, you really are retarded

There must be easier ways to earn a living outside of writing. It's a tough field to be successful in.

>I don't do shit except fantasize about how I become a wealthy writer
Me too. But I do not do anything besides writing posts on 4chan and wasting my life away. Do not be like me.

I am sorry about what happened. How do you feel about your dad being able to fuck someone around your age while you cannot do the same? I know this is a weird question, but I decided to ask nonetheless.

>Is there a way out for me without dying for Putin?
That dream of becoming a writer, pursue it with all your strength. Maybe you will become the next Camões or Dostoevsky, or better yet, the next version of yourself. Do you already know Portuguese? Try learning French as well. I am sure it will reflect in your writing ability.
>>
Also, I am learning Russian, and I already know Portuguese.
>>
>>34575213
>3d animation course in a trade
Do not do this. Definitely.
>>
>>34575206
Because the majority of the people in this world are subhumans incapable of thinking for themselves
>>
>>34575206
Arab tier political instincts. You can give them modern democracy and roll the red carpet out for them to join the real world and they will be back to electing a strongman dictator within ten years
>>
>>34575206
I just hate some Russians, like Putin. OP seems chill..
>>
I feel for you little nigger. Poor decisions made by parents.

It's time for you to make your own moves, you have your own life to live. It's not dumb to enrol in business online or just pirate the course work, you'll probably start out as a duty manager anyway where you don't actually need a degree. In fact there's never any point where a business degree is strictly required at all- but you need the skills.

Whether or not you're Russian, who cares. Tell people you're Portuguese with a thick foreign accent. Get a paper marriage and polish citizenship. So many people fled Russia because of the war that i think it's generally recognized that the vatniks all stayed in Russia, and the Russians who fled are the ones who don't want anything to do with it. What's the difference between a ukranian and a Russian who both fled the same war? Don't overthink it. Everyone with an actual connection to any actual war understands how this works.

So maybe study business privately and try to get a duty manager job somewhere close to your parents place, nothing you can do will save a business you didn't set up, don't own, and don't control. They're 50 and their plan was probably a naive or selfish retirement plan for themselves, you have to think about yourself.

How many "stolen children" are just bitter custody battles?

If a territory gets captured and the flag changes, technically the children were stolen from their home country without them moving. If a population is convinced to move (west or east) to get out of the conflict zone, they're taken.
>>
>>34574535
>>Dad cheats on mom with a 25yo waiter
Do you have literally any evidence of this?
>>
>>34576989
Why are you denying the fact that russia started a war for the sole reason of conquest and commits numerous war crimes and terrorist attacks?
>>
First of all, before all else, become more invested in the family restaurant. Quit that bullshit school and help your dad. Stop being a milquetoast soft bitch, have some agency in your life. Study the market, prices, what sells, what doesn't, EU normies are obsessed with portugal/spain/Italy little restaurant by the seaside scene. Get into fine dining or Instagramable plating. Small dishes, coffee, have a selling point like "being the coffee and avocado toast" place. Become THE PLACE for that 1 thing.
Make the place attractive for normies and instawhores, that means lots of rustic oldey vintage shit. They love it
Again, lots of coffee, coffee culture by the sea is very trendy nowadays, you stuck gold with an already built business, even if it's failing.
Second, remember that ANYTHING is better than dying for or to Russia. You could literally be a beggar on the streets of Porto and you'd have a better chance at life. For all the bads of western euro society (there are many), you at least have a decent shot at life. That thing is impossible in the current war countries, because modern decadence requires infinite wars, and only your bad luck made it so you were born in one of the infinite wars actors. War is hell, be glad you avoided that shit.

hello mykola shouldn't you be in the trenches? not very patriotic of you to dodge the draft
>>34577140
very good post, Portugal is the safest place in all of Europe in the big picture so stay there, maybe get involved with the Russian/Russian-speaking diaspora? always good to know a few people

OP here
>>34575974
1 - I myself don't really want sex much. Dad and the waitress are suppossedly fully fledged adults so I think their romance is somewhat normal, I am on the side of mom in regard that Dad shouldn't have cheated at all in our tough situation
2 - My portuguese is really bad, I can go to stores and ask for directions just fine, but mall talk is impossible for me without English

>>34577155
My Dad admited that he cheated

Are you putting any work into becoming a better writer? Are you working on any personal projects?

>My portuguese is really bad, I can go to stores and ask for directions just fine, but mall talk is impossible for me without English
Interesting. I think a lot of Portuguese people speak English, so you can get by using it, but you should avoid it as much as possible. Otherwise, you are wasting precious opportunities to learn and practice the language.

> started a war for the sole reason of conquest
i spit on russia but you're retarded if you really believe this. imagine if poland or romania or turkey suddenly started yearning to get close to russia instead of us/eu. they'd have their bussies gaped too. the propaganda works for the west because russia is a shithole with nothing to offer for their vassals except for protection from the western influence in poor countries.
>>
>>34575206
i find weird that such a large amount of 'white' people can collectively be so cucked. at least the nazis were highly effective at making their problems the entire worlds problem as well. the fact that EVERY russian i've encountered comes off as an aloof retard doesn't help.
>>
>>34574535
>Dad cheats on mom with a 25yo waiter
That gives me hope. I don't want to just cheat but replace my wife with a woman in her 20s when I am 50
>>
>>34576853
>It's time for you to make your own moves, you have your own life to live


This 2x. I can relate to OP's story --- I had a great job here in Chicago. Dad suddenly dies. Family (mom and female siblings) all decided they want to relocate to florida. I have no friends or other family here, so I desperately look to make florida work on my end. I am unemployed for over 1 year in florida and threatened with homelessness unless I start paying the bill (little did I know they wanted me to come just for me to pay all the bills since my dad was out of the picture).

So I got cucked out of my good job, went through lengthy unemployment, practically disowned by the rest of my family. If I had just stayed in Chicago, I would be in a far better position. Moral of the story is that what is in your best interests is usually not in the best interests of other people (and vice versa). Do what is absolutely best for you and no one else.

Are you even married? Why do you want to make your wife suffer? Did she do anything to you?
>>
You still havent answered, was it a waiter or a waiteress anon?
>>
>>34577644
Do you really think a woman would remain loyal to you if a 10/10 rich gigachad offered to wife her up? Why then would you remain loyal to her if the opposite scenario unfolds?
>>
>>34577662
You may be right.
>>
>>34577662
NTA but you BPDemons are scary, cheating as revange for things that didn't happen.

>russia goodboi russia dindu nuffin
It is disgusting how you russians try to justify their invasion.
>>
>>34577738
The poster you marked clearly isn't trying to justify anything, the first thing he did was to say he spits on Russia. Also, Russians live in a dictatorship, why would you call them names as if they are responsible for what Putin does? Well, Ukrainian are responsible for electing a Jewish pedophile conman that cross-dresses.

>>34577357
To be honest not really. The only thing related to writing I do is writing tips and tricks from Bookfox YT channel and write personal diary around 10 minutes a day. I let my mom read it sometimes, she says that I write really deep funny and sad. As I am writing this, a couple hours ago I let her read some more and it made her cry from how much it reminded her of her mistakes and all mistreatment from others to me she saw. Also I write down different ideas for my hypothetical books/short stories. I once wrote some text for one of those ideas, let my younger sister read it, she is quite cynical, bitey, likes anime and she sai she liked it and said I "write really well". Mostly I am afraid to write or work on any large projects by myself, because I am afraid of discomfort, from what I understand

Could you find a local gf and try to settle down?

>>34575367
what the fuck are you talking about? child molestors get insta death in russia and the killers get acquitted.
Meanwhile, I get advertisements on yt for "rented mothers" or what its called in Kyiv. with a ugly male "gay" couple getting a blue eyed blonde little girl out of this. I wish I was joking. Anyone can find it on google. I thought its russian propaganda, but even german state channels have a documentary on it.
