Police Automaton posted:Lots of people living with their parents these days, it kind of surprises me. I guess the wealth disparity in many western countries is to blame for that one. In a lot of poorer countries this isn't really unusual at all though, lots of people still living with their parents well into their 30s until they get married and then sometimes even afterwards. Culturally, you will also find in these countries that the focus is more on family and friends, less on career because everyone is poor anyways and there's not much sense in pretending like we westerners love to do. I have read in some news article some weeks ago that especially the millenials in my country are shafted regarding income, general wealth, debt etc.. As a result, the middle class basically silently became an endangered species in only about 20 years. This of course has a snowball effect on general social coherency and the willingness to start families etc.. I have no idea what the situation in the US is but I am assuming it's not all that different. I'm a bit older and have my own roof over the head but I certainly do not have the kind of financial security my parents did, which I say without shame. Having that kind of security is just impossible these days. I weep for Gen Z, they will in very many ways not know the freedoms I did. Our son still lives with us at 23, and probably will for a few more years at least. It's a much different world from when we were his age. Youth unemployment is horrific, for a lot of reasons... jobs are being automated out of existence, and fewer people are retiring, like, ever. It's not unusual to see a plurality of wrinkly people working at your local McDonald's. In a low-demand job like burger-flipper, you're drat right the average manager is going to hire the person who is the most likely to work like they mean it and least likely to bitch about it all the time (even if these are only perceptions and not necessarily the truth).

Peeing thing can be due to multiple causes, among them STDs, urethra damage, UTI, prostate problems, dehydration, etc. if it hasn't gone away after a day then see a doctor.

Weird porn goon, does "normal" porn work for you? Can you mild it down and still enjoy it? Maybe try reducing your intake of creepy poo poo. You don't have to cut it out, just make it an occasional thing, not an every day thing. Sometimes it's good to focus on normal people doing mostly normal sex acts that you can recreate with a real partner.

quote:I had a real poo poo life up until a few months ago. Ok assuming this is real, you realize if you get divorced your wife is getting some to most of that money, right? And probably she gets to keep the kid, too. Don't go nuts planning your retirement just yet is all I'm saying. Also, maybe don't get divorced? Unless there's a ton of poo poo you left out, your main reasons for resenting her all have to do with financial problems that were not her fault any more than yours. Maybe try keeping her around and see how you feel after you get a little more comfortable. quote:My neighbor travels a lot for her job and asks me to watch her house. Which I do, since she leaves me some money every so often for food and gives me full access to her hot tub. I'm not a hot tub expert but that water has to get cycled out, right right???

Assuming lotto ticket guy is real the only way he'll know is to get an attorney, which he should do anyway. Generally speaking assets acquired during the marriage are subject to be split (with all types of exceptions). He hasn't take possession of the winnings but he bought the ticket already. Again, he needs a lawyer, not just a divorce one but one to handle the ticket , probably set up a trust etc. etc.

LethalGeek posted:Couple pages back but I have a friend who's husband sprung this on her. She's not really into it but locking his silly wang up calmed him the hell down and their both happy again. I don't loving get it either but this is a couple in their 40s and this has been kinda building up to this point for all the years I've known them. If anything the dude now has to earn getting laid so he's only made it harder on himself I dated a guy with a cuckold fetish. He liked to talk about me loving other dudes who were better in bed than him and had bigger dicks (the dudes in his fantasies had to be white, because "all black dudes have bigger dicks, so it doesn't count") so that he wouldn't be "enough" for me anymore. We never did anything more than talk about it during sex. I thought it was actually kind of hot and actively participated in the dirty talk about being boned by bigger, better men. Then he dumped me like a moron. Good luck finding another chick that'll do that for ya, buddy. Anyway, that's my confession. The cuck/caged cock stuff is pretty popular.

@UTI Goon: I (male) had a UTI once and yeah the urge to just go and then go again and then again was agonizing. The best part was having to convince my doctor that I had a UTI and that I didn't get the clap from cheating on my wife. They just wouldn't loving believe me no matter how many times I told them that I've never cheated.

quote:So I recently graduated from a pretty well-respected college for a BFA in a tech-oriented art degree. I got good grades and have a great portfolio showcasing a ton of good work. I didn't go on an internship or co-op since it was not required and I'm starting to feel like that may have been a big mistake. Go to grad school dude That's usually really bad advice but I'm serious because it worked for me. I had the same problem you did to a lesser extent. I didn't see a point in getting a corporate internship during undergrad, and my senior year I had a lot of trouble getting job offers because of that. So I signed on to do a fifth-year master's program with a bunch of my friends at the same school I went to for undergrad, did a corporate internship that summer, then came back for basically a fifth year of college with a fancier diploma at the end of it, and that time I was able to get a job. Get a master's, either in your art field (web design???) or as an engineer or something, and use your regained student status to get a summer internship in the meantime so you don't have the same problem again afterward. You have the privilege of parents willing to support you; take advantage of it. quote:Long story short, my partner has a deadbeat ex who is also the biological father of my stepson. Now, we can't prove he's using heroin, but he is. And he gets one weekend a month custody, and our kid comes back frightened, and traumatized each time, and we feel helpless. What's worse is me and my partner have started fantasizing and hoping he ODs. We just want him out of our lives, and it wouldn't be a loss to humanity as a whole. Is this normal? Am I kinda hosed up for wishing this? Get the kid to talk to a counselor or something, I'm sure you can swing getting the dad's visitation rights taken away if a professional is able to get some stories out of him.

College grad anon, is there someone in your college's department who can help? My school had a person pretty much dedicated to looking over resumes, doing mock interviews, and helping find opportunities. A lot of schools pride themselves on the number of students they can get hired quickly after graduating. Perhaps see if they can hook you up.

In addition, an unpaid intership will probably look bad on your resume anyway. It shows that your work is so lovely that it wasn't worth paying for.

Unpaid internships are often illegal too. If you are doing actual work (displacing a paid worker) and aren't getting any compensation such as money or school credit then your internship is illegal. Even more hosed up is that apparently paying to get an unpaid internship is a thing people do now. The_Franz fucked around with this message at 05:56 on Jan 7, 2017 |

Tolkien minority: What field are you in? Depending on this, a Master's may or may not be worth the effort. A PhD is almost always a waste of time though; it's an exercise for people that want to prove something to themselves with very little societal benefit. An Un-Anonymous Confession: I dropped out of my PhD program. Some people probably think I'm a failure, but gently caress them. I felt like it wouldn't advance my career very much, and I was very burnt out on school at the time, having been in college for 7 years already. I'll never regret that decision because I think I'd kill myself if I had to go back to school again. It's somehow really depressing to be in school when you're 26.

Unless you're willing to get a PhD, you should give up. Are there other career paths you might like? I'm not trying to be a dick, just being realistic for your life happiness. I became a data analyst solely because I was out of money and desperate for a job, whereas my original path was to be a PhD Mathematician. But I don't even care about that other stuff anymore; I like my job a lot. I'm assuming you're young, so be open to somewhat different jobs that you haven't thought about before.

Good going buddy, I hope everything works out for you! Other advice: If you get a bachelors in Math, you should almost certainly get a Master's in Applied Mathematics. This will actually teach you math that applies to real world problems. It's probably worth the money and time; for me, I learned the same amount of Math in my 2 year Master's as I learned during my 4 year Bachelor's. Don't go into Theoretical Math unless you want to be a College Professor aka "Pro Loser that No One Likes". Edit: Also everyone learn MySQL. Holy loving poo poo, it's extremely easy, but everyone will treat you like a God if you are even halfway decent at it. AutumnDDP fucked around with this message at 06:22 on Jan 7, 2017 |

BFA goon, apply to more jobs, maybe broaden your field of view a bit to different positions or cities. 200 positions is no longer a lot to apply to because of how easy it is to apply over the internet. When I graduated I applied to over a 1,000 positions, got about a dozen interviews, four job offers.
