Great attitude man, only good can come out of being proactive. Keep us posted.

That feeling when you go home and see a standby subpoena stuffed under your front door.

A quick history of "depression(s)", and the way forward.

Appreciate you posting this. Depression and mental health in general are both just really offputting topics for me. I just think that at this point its clear that something is in the way and its out of my control. I'm not trying to play life on hard mode if I don't have to.

Late but related to North Carolina, I actually took a trip to Greensboro a couple of weeks back. It sucks. I didn't have cell reception in like half the damn state. What the fuck is going on down there?

So last time I posted in here, I was at a real crisis point in my life. But dudes! I'm doing much better now. I did go back to school and a pretty good spring semester. I'm slowly working toward a degree in communications, which I care more about and is probably a lot more practical than my B.A. in journalism. I got a new job a couple months ago which I don't dread. (I work at Whole Foods now. Which isn't as bad as you might think and pays well considering it's retail work. Please don't ask me about overcharging.) Though I didn't respond to everyone last time, I did read all the kind words and support. It was much appreciated.

It might sound weird, but I really do appreciate the community we've fostered for ourselves. You guys are rad.

Glad to hear that RC! Keep going at it. Just remember that progress and the path to happiness won't happen overnight. I was pretty down on my job and where I was at in my juncture in life just a mere 6 months ago, but moving to a new city and finding a new job changed a lot of that. Hopefully it keeps up, and hopefully you and everyone else gets to that point, too.

That's probably the biggest thing I had to learn: you just have to keep plugging away. My dad was really big in reinforcing that. He would tell me all the time, you're only in your 20s, your life isn't over. (He didn't get into his current field until his mid-30s. Now he makes really good money with a government job.)

Yeah, I got a degree that I found fairly worthless, but I can't really dwell on that anymore and luckily I didn't take on too much debt doing it (only about $7k. I mostly paid out of pocket, like I am now). It just took me the better part of a year to not fixate on stuff like that.

I feel good with where I'm at now. I make okay money compared to a lot of people I know my age for work that isn't very hard. It might not be the most fulfilling thing ever (I've worked several retail jobs, they never are) and it might not be exactly where I pictured myself, but I'm trying to make the most of it.

what were you here for? what'd you do? greensboro got probably my 2nd favorite downtown in the state (behind charlotte).

Finally purchased my own car. 2010 ford focus. I got like a 4.75% loan which apparently is super good for first time car buyers especially on an used car. it's a 5 speed. I love it. fucking finally. feeling so liberated!!

Yo

100+ until wed. Did yall forget how humid it is in houston too? This shit is the apoocolypse IWMTB do something please

I'm probably gonna end up buying my car today too. I'm sitting on either going full fuckless and getting a Camaro, being reasonable and picking up a focus, or hitting a middle ground on this 5 series BMW.

What year 5 Series?

tfw you're crushing on a trans girl and people you've been close to act offended and you want to punch them in the face.

Rejected again, nooooooo.

Gotta keep my head up.

By IWMTB19 Go To PostRejected again, nooooooo.Gotta keep my head up.

one door closed, another window opens, yadda yadda yadda. It happens. Just gotta keep on keeping on.

Yep, just gotta keep trying.

The amount of available women at my university is depressingly low tho.

Anyway, got through my most hated class of my life (Physics of electricity and light) with an A somehow so my 4.0 remains with just two semesters left :).

Quit my job as a tutor, it was nice but I need to do more economic research and do more to get ready for grad school.

By IWMTB19 Go To PostYep, just gotta keep trying.The amount of available women at my university is depressingly low tho.

It gets infinitely worse when you're out of school. It's not a problem though, there's okcupid. Don't worry.

i am sooooo not the college type

think i may take a contracting job or whore myself out on the next available deployment :(

I just want to finish my comp sci degree so I can walk around DC looking like all these other smug motherfuckers with hands soft as baby shit:

By IWMTB19 Go To PostRejected again, nooooooo.

Got a date on Monday with a new girl from OKCupid :)

May there be lots of sex and such in your future. Good luck.

Turns out going on Tinder and having some fun in the conversations is the best way to Tinder rather than trying to turn it into a game you need to exploit.

I have one conversation where I'm only talking in emojis, one where I'm only using dad jokes, and one where I keep on referring to my match as Khaleesi because she has a (drunk, mistake) dragon tattoo.

I'm cracking myself up, anyway.

Most people use tinder as ego-validation with zero intent to meet. It's probably the worst dating medium I've tried, and I've tried quite a few.

Okcupid + happn is all you need, but happn might be strictly french so far, not sure. Really cool one.

Oh definitely. I've learned to stop taking it seriously having gone through a period where I learned that it was just that.

Talk to me about happn.

By fadetoblack Go To PostTalk to me about happn.

Ok, first off, I don't know if it's international yet, but it might in the not so distant future. In Paris here, it works fantastic, and the girls are hot. I don't know how the word of mouth worked, but it's really attractive people.

Basically, you get a feed of information with all the girls that you've walked by and who have the app on their phone. The app tells you how many times you've walked in the same vicinity. It's not a rather wide radius thing like tinder, it simply shows who was a couple hundred feet around you "1 minute ago" for one girl, "5 minutes ago" for another, etc. The app tells you how many times you've crossed paths since you've had the app. It also tells you if they're at the present time in your area.

You can infer some stuff, like if they live in your area, or if they work around you, since eventually you will meet some every day in a big city.

The way you can talk to each other is half-tinder, half-another concept. First, you can like a girl, and if she liked you too, then you can talk. Otherwise, a person can send a "charm" which will tell the person in question that you sorta request to talk to them. They're free to accept and start chatting.


Not representative of the usual hotness.

That sounds pretty cool, actually. I'll have to try that in London next month (if it works in the UK).

Also: Parisian girls are hot. Huh. Didn't see that one coming.

I wonder if they fetishize American women in other countries like folks do internationals here.

By Trey Go To PostI wonder if they fetishize American women in other countries like folks do internationals here.

shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit hawaii isn't even all the way out of the US and you see all sorts of cross-culture fetishization

By Trey Go To PostI wonder if they fetishize American women in other countries like folks do internationals here.

I doubt it, because everyone knows about obesity being so rampant in the US.

But exoticism always works, yeah. Just some nations sound more appealing than others.

Give Marie some love man

And Parisian girls are it. Guess the language helps, dat accent

Craigslist is the best, just arm yourself before meeting up.

okcupid is all you need

man--i watched my three year old niece over the weekend and its legitimately got me wondering if having kids is for me--which is frightening because I love kids, am really good with them, love the idea of a family--but holy shit. neverending energy paired with a short attention span all day..everyday, never ending

i don't know man--i'm fucking shook and tired after just a weekend

Children are terrible.

If you choose to have kids you pretty much have to dedicate your existence to them, I feel. There are times where I tell my dog "I'm busy, can't play now" isn't something I would want to do to my kids.

I love it when family always asks me why I don't get married and have kids AND complain about how their kids always acting up, how it's a huge time commitment and how they just can't deal with them sometimes because kids are temperamental.

"But look how cute they are though"!

Sounds like these people arent ready for kids or have the wrong idea of them.

Once you get to that stage where they know whats right and wrong and can hold a convo...they are great.

My little nephew is about to start tackle football in the next two weeks. Watching him literally grow just about every other day to the point where we can play catch with him running designated routes is cool.

He does have a tendency to act out but thats with his own parents. I remember him saying one time why should he do such and such hes not going to get a whoppin anyway.

Bruh

That doesnt fly in the Smokey household or with his gparents. Ive never had a problem. If i sense him getting out of line that quick bass in your voice straightens him out real quick. His parents dont instill any kind of discipline in him tho and he knows it when hes around them.

If I decide I might want to have kids I'm having tests done to evaluate the probability of all kinds of problems. I've been side-eyeing my own genetic lottery pretty hard, I don't really want to impose needless suffering on another individual if technology will allow me to avoid it. Maybe adoption should be in the cards, not just for me but lots of people. Too bad it's such an awful and tedious process.

i think they'll be much better when they can occupy themselves without killing themselves yea, but that 1-4,5, whatever stage is fucked.

the thought of me just being 50 with my girl and not having any kind of legacy sounds a bit terrifying in some ways

i need to find a female who's fine with me being a modern day don draper and just putting paper on the table

You can have a legacy without spawning yourself.

I also think I enjoy the idea of that bond--that physical manifestation of you and your partner is very desirable if you have someone you see yourself with.

By Dark PhaZe Go To Posti need to find a female who's fine with me being a modern day don draper and just putting paper on the table

"female"
"modern day don draper"
"just putting paper on the table"

Is the way you write the way it is just because you don't expect women to read you here and you can be brutally honest with your 1950s brand of sexism?

Don Draper is attractive because of his jaw line and hours spent with a wardrobe department, not because he's an alcoholic and an asshole. You're misplacing your ideals, what you're saying here is a mere variation of a fedora nerd.

I just don't get why people put their legacy into kids. Why not put a legacy into doing good and assisting people.

By db Go To PostI just don't get why people put their legacy into kids. Why not put a legacy into doing good and assisting people.

Yeah, you shouldn't have a kid because you're afraid of death.
