I think I'm safe.

I have SOME anime music tracks, but I don't think they're opening/closing themes.

And I know the Japanese phrases from fighting games.

Most anime is kinda dumb & unwatchable

Dangerously close. Does 4chan count as an anime forum still?

>>387343
I thought the same, but considering how diverse the board choices are on 4chan (these day), you could very well go to them and end up not discussing anime at all.

Then again, I just use /op/ for a quick link to the weekly.

Fixed.

If we're going to use a word as a derogatory term, lets have it mean something that actually should be frowned upon.

>>387339
that's because sneaky tiki didn't steal this one like the dirty canadian that he is this time around. i was patient and decided it best to watch someone come up with something better than i could in a rush to get the OP position.

I am so glad I did wait. <3 Anon.

as for the image in question... I WAS DANGEROUSLY CHEESY UP IN THIS BITCH. HOLY SHIT.

I apparently vacillate between different kinds of almost weeaboo depending on the time of year, but even looking back every six months, I have a HIGH number of these but never quite enough to complete my bingo carudo.

also i stopped visiting /a/ around the time i moved into /co/. /a/a hasn't been that good since around the time bleach started to get popular. not bleach's fault. just... too many summer 4chans occurred. you know the drill.

>>387339
How fucking old is this thing that it considers pocky in any way special? You can find that shit at Walmart.

1. If we're using "hentai" as a catchall term for any sort of anime-style pornography, yes.
2. Akira, so yes.
5. I read Naruto (glutton for punishment) and HunterxHunter when it bothers actually showing up. If I ever catch up with JJBA, add that.
6. There was no "anime club" per se in high school, but I hung out with a bunch of guys who were into anime. Effectively, it's the same.
11. Who doesn't watch a piece of media in it's original language when given the choice?
12. ...perverted anime dreams... -_-
13. This site's equivalent, /jam.
15. I know more Japanese than I think, courtesy of all the subs I watch.
16. Couple figurines, yes.
18. Isn't this functionally the same as the "fapping to hentai" one?
20. I think I willingly watch only two things that aren't anime and aren't the news: Big Bang Theory and NCIS.
21. I put yes for this one because, if I HAD that kind of space, I totally would. As of right now, I only have two.
22. Replace girlfriend with boyfriend, and F**K YEAH!!
23. Err, let's see. -chan, -kun, -san, -sama, -chama, -dono, -sensei... that's enough.
24. Yes, but I only I keep them for nostalgia from when I downloaded them in the pre-youtube days.

15 out of 25. I'm in second place!

So close

No soda for about two weeks and I'm dropping weight pretty fast. Hope its not somethinng I should be worried about.

>>387369
Probably not unless it keeps up for a long time. The amount of sugar you get in a day from soda is surprising, and the difference it makes in your weight is significant. You should level out fairly soon though--if you're anything like me, you'll still be overweight afterward, but it'll be a respectable level of overweight, like the kind that you might actually be able to do something about with exercise and a slightly healthier diet.

I'm starting to notice all the misogynistic music in music now and it's really bugging me.

>>387372
Misogynistic LYRICS in music now*

>>387373
hence why I stick to Metal. That and not watching sitcoms that seem to promote more stereotypes now then they used to few years back. Cripes its like they pulled this crap straight out of the '90s.

>>387367
>>387366

You can add homophobia to that list. That also sticks out like a sore thumb to me.

Did you guys just discover rap or something?

>>387380
I've been listening to rap since I was a kid.

The issue here is that I didn't know what homophobia and misogyny were then and also had no sort of background of sexuality/gender issues. Add on top of that some of the time I didn't even know what some of the songs were actually about.

>>387381
Maybe you should stop listening to rap then. Picrelate, the music of feminism is pop.

gonna be well by friday so i can enjoy my weekend
(i may be slightly delirious from fever)

I've got a maggot problem in my room and I have no idea where they're coming from. Maybe something died behind one of my closets or something. I don't smell anything. Then again, you quickly get used to any smell you're continuously subjected to.

>>387389
Yo, are you finding them everywhere? cuz Maggots usually get laid in clutches in rancid materials and can't get that far, so if you triangulate where you find them you should be able to hone in, also if you think you are used to the smell, head out for a day so you can come back fresh to find it.

>country
Ah the music of the tolerant southern states. Use your common sense.

Genres like rap, country, metal or rock, genres that actual racists/mysoginists listen to will have more racist/mysoginist artists. Genres like pop, R&B, techno, most ska, folk or classical/blues will not.
Don't expect to find bastions of tolerance in third world genres either, some latin american music would probably give you goosebumps of hate if you understood spanish.

You have to understand only a small portion (30-40%) of specifically western society (est 500 million people) actually has time to consistently care and think about both sexual and racial equality.
Don't expect high philosophy in music of the remaining 6.9 billion humans who couldn't give a damn because they're too busy competing to survive, too busy grabbing any opportunity to put their competitors down, especially when these advantages can help them label huge groups of people as enemies.

haha it's nothing dangerous

for example, today he came home with a HUGE fucking box of national geographics. a mountainous stack he got free on craigslist for my christmas present?? except most were from nineties to present, which is when they get thinner with more ads and shorter and less personable articles and I don't even really collect those anymore I have so many

or he's doing some crazy cooking project that he gets halfway through and fails and the kitchen is a disaster 'look, i got grassfed beef and it's paleo' good job, good job

it's important to keep in mind that I 1. have never been in a relationship this long and 2. need vacations from other humans, yet I haven't been away from him since we moved in together, June. that night with his bro was the very fucking first. maaaybe I'm just going crazy? maaayyybbbeeeeeeee

like i can 1. just do it now and leave my home and regret the fuck out of it later and end up miserable and die or 2. wait it out until we're completely miserable or 3. wait it out and take a vacay and realize i'm happy w/him after all or 4. fuck his little brother and we'll run away to california

>>387447
nah I'm far away from the area. As said I'm casting a big net since my region (meaning region of the country southeast US (KY)) is dead or too damned seasonally locked to get a steady employ with my BoA (History) while in pursuit of my Masters. That and I'm pretty fed up with the dead end I've hit here so looking to start anew elsewhere. Being a Writer won't pay the bills till I can get things finished and published. Just right now looking for leads that can take me anywhere.

That and I've got too much family in the area that I don't think would be that accepting of what I'm seriously writing sadly. And I really don't need the discouragement.

I need to do this all the time!

I am "recovering weeaboo", where only 8 of the things on that card currently apply to me, & 7 years ago, about 18 of those things would have been checked off. So I'm doing pretty good on that front.

So the initial estimate for getting back into my home post restoration was 2 weeks, give or take a couple days. It has been two weeks, & now I've been told it may be at least 3 weeks more.

On the plus side, the friend I'm residing with by taking up her spare bedroom travels for work all the time, so she doesn't care how long I'm here because she's actually kinda happy to have a live-in house & cat sitter. Also, her cat & my cat are finally starting to get along, so they're keeping each other company when I go to work.

I *think* I marathonned EVA in one day a decade or so ago, but I can't recall for sure, so I left that one off.

Another day, another throat constricting. It doesn't seem to affect airflow, and only slightly affects swallowing, but it's painful enough to be just above annoying (a 3/10?) The only two things that seem to really work in getting rid of it for a time are ice pack on the throat (which comes with its own problems) and tea (I hate tea.)

Could be allergies, could be the dry weather, could be that my body is just a fucking garbage heap. I should probably see a doctor since this is a recurring thing, but like hell I have the money...

>>387481
how constricted. are you? Meaning is it visible if you look down your own throat with the sides being clearly visible. and closer than usual. To add are there any visible spots or streaks? Trying to narrow it if it is a reaction or an infection.

Dear God if we could only harness such an ability for something besides racism.

Something has occurred to make me contemplative. My roommates loaded up a bicycle carry-cart with various goods, clothing, canned food, and other stuff, and I have no problem with that. My problem is that they just left the whole package sitting in the middle of a local park that sees a fair amount of homeless traffic in our city.

It bugs me because while they obviously want to do a good thing, there's a question in my mind of why they didn't contribute straight to a shelter, y'know? It's like, both of them work in various degrees within that world, and yet neither of them trust the system they operate in enough to hand the goods straight to a place where they know it will be distributed.

It's made me contemplative though as my own privilege is fairly substantial, and my roommate made comments that all of us are far too privileged. Which, sitting here in my filth and all my bad habits, I'm hard pressed to not agree with. But by the same token, I pay into the system because the system has supported me, and because what it has granted me allows me to operate more on my own recognizance rather than on the overt kindness of others. I'm not impartial to plight of people having more troubles in the world than me, but I'd want to see the systems in general improved to assist people. There's part of my mind that says that a single gift like that is not as simple a thing as my roommates want to believe, and that handing it over to e real place of aid would've been much better. But I find myself without a very good moral leg to stand on or a concrete reason to give my roommate, who is a little annoyed at my thoughts on the thing.

Nobody told me being an adult would bring real moral conundrums.

So, those "maggots" were apparently carpet beetles. And those are supposedly impossible to get rid off. They'll keep coming back forever. You'll have them for the rest of your life unless your willing to part with all of your textiles. Well, fuck my life. And fuck you Australia for exporting those shits to the rest of the world.

>>387466
I know. Death by Krispy Kreme sounds significantly less distressing.

I'd get me a 3ds to replace my poor ol' ds lite.
I wonder where it is now.

>>387518
>>a second opinion

Fucking this. Hell, even a third or forth opinion is worth looking into.
No disrespect to Alternative medicine but, a doctor who doesn't go any farther to help you isn't worth going to any more.

>>387519
As long as you remember that it's not a credit card.
The payment thing depends on the store I think.

>>387519
>Almost 2014
>Not having a debit card
>Not having a bank/credit union account that gives you a debit card

>>387519
No, you can't use a debit card like a credit card. Debit cards can sometimes be used as credit cards, but that only means A) you don't put in your PIN and B) a slight delay in the money being removed from your account. But it doesn't allow you to pay in installments like a credit card can.

Get an actual credit card; it really doesn't matter the limit or APR, so long as you pay it off monthly or, for more expensive purchases like the 3DS, very quickly. It will also help you build a credit profile, which can be used to make it easier to get loans and better credit cards in the future.

>>387530

This guy is, by my count the 9th opinion I've gotten.

>No disrespect to Alternative medicine but, a doctor who doesn't go any farther to help you isn't worth going to any more
Well, he's not worth going to any more anyway, because he has no idea what my problem is or how to help me. I am a puzzle for science I guess.

>>387519
A debit card can't be used for stuff like that, but it is a very useful thing to have.

I'm applying only to people who I think I'd be a good fit with, people who are open and friendly and communicative in their ads so I assume they're looking for the same. I can't stand the ones that say only the technicalities and nothing about who lives there and how they live.

I'd emphasize three things in these:

1) That you are a functioning adult with like a job or something.

2) Why you want this apartment in particular. Even if you're a people person like you sound to be, you want to emphasize that you actually want this apartment, and you won't be looking to leave as soon as a better one opens up, even if it's "I need access to train x and bus y because reason z"

3) Emphasize what attracted you to their advertisement in particular. You seem to know that, so let them know that.

As for the ABBA, I wouldn't, because ABBA is fucking awesome, so he might take away the wrong message (that ABBA is fucking awesome).

how do you find the venn diagram of three seperate and opposing spheres of thought and logic and feeling and personality? by dumbing them all down under drunk me.

logical/less emotional. sweet/emotional. reckless/impulsive. any one of these can be happy or depressed, any one can be right or wrong. none of them can ever fucking agree with each other except for rare, rare moments of clarity and i'm not getting any of that since all three of them propose radically different solutions. i can't think any of this out because oh hell, i think too much, why do i think so fucking much????

>>387594
Apply to the dual nature of these things the principle of the yin and yang that must always be understood as a whole, not as individual virtues.

To find happiness, a dynamic and responsive balance must be struck where one relinquishes shaping the universe to expectation but adapts expectation and acceptance to meet the universe.

In other words, if you feel stuck, fuck it and find something that isn't stuck okay?

At first I thought this was cute and charming but now it's annoying and the most unattractive thing ever. I've tried everything to help him but nothing's worked.

>>387615
this is why it's so bloody hard to find the right person. sometimes it's the right person... just not yet. not ready. not tested enough.

maybe he'll come around. it's up to him, and he absolutely cannot be relying on you as an emotional crutch. not sure he is. sounds like the lack of confidence is regardless of what you do.

i wish you the best.

>>387615
Ooh, been there, done that. I was the unconfident guy though, not the other person.
I got dumped, which kinda fucked me up for a while, but also kind of forced me to care about myself since the person who I was so dependent on for care wasn't there anymore.
Hope it doesn't go that way for you two, cause we're on pretty bad terms now!

Here's a thing I wrote after the fact, it...might help with perspective/understanding. Maybe not, don't feel obligated. http://oldtimeydildomachine.tumblr.com/post/66750495597/

Also, seconding Ferrous.

So would it be a better path to building as a friend first? Or would such a think build too much confusion with intentions? My track record as it stands is miserable.

>>387619
i play every friendship/relationship by ear since every relationship is different. you're one set of ingredients. the other person is another set. A+B makes... well... you only find out after you try it.

if you go in expecting things to be romantic whether or not you're attracted to a person, you're saying what you think the relationship should be instead of finding out what works/what it can be.

if you want to make a romantic advance... don't try to sneak-in by "being a friend" first. it makes the "friend zone" a self-fulfilling prophecy since you're going in with other intentions. that's just misleading and manipulative. be a friend because you want to get to know someone and because it's something you might just want to be anyway. if something else comes out of it, that's completely incidental.

if you want to get into dating without going the "friend route", try looking into places/sites/other things where people who are mostly interested in dating will go. there's an understanding already: we're here to find romantic interests. if things don't pan out there, either, it's the same rule: A+B-> ? You can't know for sure until you try.

Basically... just meet people and don't put pressure on them to be anything for you but be willing to explore what you could want, and don't feel obligated to fulfill anything you don't want to... even if that means pretending to be friendly just to not be rude. you're under no obligation to keep people in your life you don't want to. not unless you're a bad parent, anyway. hah.

Right okay, I seem to have a difficulty in being a personality of contrasts. I'm not unbalanced or anything and tend to get too personal too quick when at first I appear to be real quiet. But what happens to me is just stuff and I feel no attachment to things that happen to me, they aren't guarded secrets just things that have no really personal feelings connected to them. That and my personality and volume increase and I've spooked a few quiet ones away with that change. Guess I gotta fine the right amount of open or something and maybe understand what is acceptable a bit better. Anyone got a guideline to that bit?

>>387621
i'm SURE we have people who can. i'm not the one you'll be talking to for this one.

>I'm not unbalanced or anything and tend to get too personal too quick when at first I appear to be real quiet.

I think that's probably the big thing right there. You need to balance that initial quiet with being at least a little vocal. People need to kind of know you first and be a little aware of that switch. I can get a kind of 'volume switch' for effect or emphasis when I'm normally very quiet in both tone and words, but people need to get a sense of who you are fairly quickly before they start thinking "friend" or even "lover" over "acquaintance". And while shaking up the status quo is always fun, people like to have a fast sense of who you are as a person, even if the side you're showing them is only like one face of a diamond.

Also, if you're really romantically interested, I was taught to go for phone numbers, although that isn't the only way it can work out. IDK, it seems that becoming friends even if there's a possibility of romantic interlude is not a bad thing, but you have to realize that if you become friends with someone you can't be pressuring them for sex or trying to push them into a relationship or anything. This is where signals get problematic and mixed up and weird, and everyone starts consulting love columnists. It's not that you can't be lovers within a friend group, but understand that that means changing the dynamic of that group. This is why it's better to go for telephone numbers and stay on the outside until you're invited in with romantic relationships vs. friendships.

>>387628

How does one adjust for things like that. I mean promote a more open personality and things. Guess I should start carrying the burner I've just ever used for past jobs and emergencies.

No. Fucking no. I neither deserve this nor can they afford it. Now I have to figure out the best way to ask them to take it back. FUCK

>>387667
It's a check. Burn it and yell at them over the phone over it.

>>387667
Just don't cash it and they might eventually forget about it. That's what I do for holiday+birthday checks from my grandparents.

>>387645
Just talk a little more, honestly. Be a little more a part of the conversation. Introduce yourself if there's new people. Throw in SFW humor if you've got a bit.

As far as "making people like you": it's impossible to make everyone like you. We judge as soon as we see the "cover" of people, that is how they look to the outside world. Some people will dislike you at first sight. Most people won't really care one way or the other, so long as you fit some basic grooming standards (showering regularly, brushing your teeth, keeping your hair cut or styled, avoiding excessive B.O.). Some people will dislike you if you fit those grooming standards (though I generally wouldn't mess with those people for a variety of reasons).

As far as anything you can say, I would say this: every attempt to manipulate someone into liking you has the risk that they will end up hating you. For the most part, you want to appeal to people with genuine bits of your personality. Ultimately in life, you are trying to cultivate connections with people who both know and accept you, but also challenge you to rise to a higher standard. This is somewhat true in romance as well. Lies are difficult to make up, hard to maintain, and the people who fall for them aren't really interested in you. They're interested in what you're presenting.

I know lots of guys would prefer to be super-casanova, but really, you should treat anyone you're trying to pursue romantically as a person. You're looking for someone to understand you, and they're looking for someone to understand them. This means give and take, back and forth, and actually listening and replying with semi-thought-out answers. Getting along is actually really helpful, contrary to what most romantic comedies and other forms of media advocate. That requires understanding on both sides.

>>387676
Part of it all is I really want to be me but I'm having a pickle of a time puzzling that bit out specially if someone wants to interject pesky labels into the picture. Heck right now I'm just angling for a companion with deeper water depending if their personality works with mine. I will not fake anything since that is the path to ruin and end in pain for both parties. Now to find a place likely to cater to a like minded person.

You know, I had a flashback the other day to a thing that happened a couple years ago. Not sure if it's a good story or not. Most likely not.

The alcohol has been purchased.

Let the holidays begin.

>>387683
I find it's good for dipping vanilla wafers in, and isn't too bad in ice cream. As a beverage, I'd stick with cocoa, tea, or for the holidays, hot apple cider and tea brewed with spices and orange slices. Don't have caffeine in the morning that often anyway, though.

Welp trip out to the store and starting to change how I approach the experience, all couples and families so nobody to chat up, baby steps. Also keeping in mind what some relatives went through so as not to put too much into connections right off the start. One had to call it off in the final stretch since apparently they were genetically incomparable (chance of deformity was crazy high) But he found another and they had a healthy girl a little while back.

Starting to think that this throat problem is due to mold in our office. I live in Boulder, CO, and we had that horrific rainfall in September. This office is a bit old as it is, and our roof flooded because the drains clogged and caused a lot of leaks, so it wouldn't surprise me at all.

I think I'll come into work on Thursday with a dust mask.

>>387719
that sounds like a safe bet. Mold tends to just explode when it gets wet and spores can go everywhere in a ventilation system.

How do you think people become porn stars? Hired out of college?

It's usually escorts who do a bit of filming or pictures now and then to make ends meet.

>>387800
Pornstars come from all walks of life and levels of education. A number of the females I like have been through college and just decided they wanted to do porn instead. IIRC, Mika Tan has a degree in microbiology and Amber Rayne studied theater. Some people just like sex and seek it as work.

Porn is one of those weird career choices in which you can't really guess how they got there. Prostitutes, former models, college grads, bored women in their 40s...they're all here.

Gives me an idea to include in a writing project.

Hey guys, how do I get a burning box off the stove and out of the house without burning myself, and then get the deadly deadly smoke out of the house? This is kinda important right now.

>>387821
smother it with baking soda then open windows once you've evacuated the box in question from the home.

>>387821
Thirteen is dead now, but for everyone who will want to know in the future:
1) If it's safe to do so, turn off the stove
2) Use fire extinguisher. If you don't have a fire extinguisher in or near your kitchen, you are living very, very wrong.

If you don't have a fire extinguisher or the one you have is bork, try these:
3) take a pot far larger than the box and put it over the box
4) If no pot of suitable size, find a thick towel/blanket or thick tupperware and use those to completely cover it (thin towels/tupperware will just be burned through before the fire will use up the now-limited oxygen

Water should be used as a last resort, and not at all if there is oil nearby or the box contains something oily. (The water will just make the fire worse, in that case.) If there's oil nearby, call the fire department, take your computer outside, and hold it tightly while you weep and wait for the firemen to show up.

Once the fire is out, open all windows, place fans in windows so they blow out, and leave the place for a bit. If you have a vent above the stove or in nearby bathrooms, turn those on as well. If the smoke is super thick, put a towel around your face and only open windows at the edge of the smoke, opening further-in windows as the smoke clears.

You know that moment where you have to take a shit, and the first time you sit down, you don't have to strain or push or anything, the turd just works with you and plops right out, and it didn't even leave much to wipe off?

Isn't that the fucking best?

>>387830
that's called "having a sufficient fiber intake"

Squat on the toilet (if you don't have the coordination or weigh too much to do so on the seat, buy/construct a frame that goes around the seat) and it will come out effortlessly and completely every single time.

Neither relationship is serious yet. Give it three dates and then decide.

interview went okay I think, they'll let me know in a couple of weeks when they make the next schedule. Here's hoping.

Yet another person quit at work. Our retention here is horrible, likely for a few different reasons. In an office where we're trying to staff a dozen or so people, we've had about that many quit over the past year; only six people have stayed on past then, excluding our boss/owner. (I hit two years myself today.)

It makes me worried for the company; on the outside things seem okay, but internally it causes a lot of stress because people will take so much time training new people about stuff and then the people quit and the process has to start over again. It's accounting-type stuff, so incredibly detail-oriented, and I think part of the issue is that the training system... well, doesn't exist. We've had new people trained by someone who has been here for less than two months. Perhaps if they tried to train someone to just do one or two jobs that take a long time and are necessary instead of trying to make everyone a jack-of-all-trades, people would last longer; from my far-removed vantage point, it seems that they heap far too much onto new people and drive them away, including two former military folk. (The person who has been here the longest works from home and comes off as very condescending over e-mail, not that she has diplomacy to begin with.)

The pay isn't that great, either, but I think everyone here sticks around because the office is extremely laid back. In my job as the sole programmer, where my tasks aren't nearly as time-sensitive, I can wake up one morning, say to myself "I just don't want to work today", send an e-mail saying I won't be, and no one gives a shit. I either make up the time or just take vacation hours. That's why I haven't tried to find a better-paying job yet, because with my depression this works really well. The others can come and go with a lot of flexibility, though I don't think they can take a day off for the hell of it like I can because their jobs are more time-sensitive (payroll, taxes, etc.)

We've gotten some flakes, of course, but I think the owner only advertises on Craigslist so that's not too surprising, either.

Who knows? They can't arrest everyone in Colorado and Washington, and even if they tried it'd take putting every DEA/FBI/ATF agent in those two states.

Is it wrong to miss and want more of chivalric romance?
It spite of its common themes rapidly falling out of modern relevance and appreciation to the point of satire and irony?

I want more genuine romantic legends from modern works. I need heroism protecting the weak. I need the beauty of nature in parallel with the works and strengths of man, where contrast and connections are shown bold and bright. I need peril leading to passion. I need a happy ending with no sign of spite or burlesque intention. I crave it.

>>387967
People hate those ideals now. They want to watch something they can have. It's kind of sad that adults can't enjoy something fantastic, but that's how it is.

I'm 100% with you, though. Maybe you could just read children's tales.

The local take on this is that before Weed was decriminalized to any degree in Colorado, marijuana users actually composed most of the people in prison in the state. There were actually so many people that they had to set up tents in the exercise yards, for tons of people who were caught with so little weed on them that it was criminally negligible. The initial decriminalization was for like a gram of weed, if I recall, and it's just been scaling upwards since then.

>>387967
>>387968
I don't think it's that people hate those ideals, I think it's that by and large chivalrous tales have been the archetype for a lot of modern stories. And the big problem there (aside from chivalry's part in history being very suspect) is that while the chivalrous romance is a very nice story archetype, for a lot of people it's the only romance they ever see. Which is problematic because outside the specific circumstances of those stories, you almost never see anything really like a chivalrous romance. At least, nothing really functional, aside from some of the religious folk. Even the people who actually existed at the time when most of these medieval occurred apparently did not conform to this archetype.

Does anyone have any tips for handling anxiety?

>>387993
420 blaze it

In all seriousness, just go relax. Take a bit of time for yourself to do something you enjoy. Get a good night's rest.

>>387993
What game is that from?

tea with sedative properties, masturbation, meditation, mantra chanting, mental control exercises:
1. Focus shifting from whatever causes you anxiety to something else. ie. Embarrassed in a public place, shift your focus to counting your heartbeats.
2. Disassociation is similar to focus shifting, but you're shifting focus from reality itself into a dreamlike state. ie. Embarrassed in a public place, shift your focus to daydreaming about Tahiti. It's also possible to temporally disassociate (go back in time to when you felt safe).
3. Transference is similar to focus shifting, if a person or situation makes you anxious, transfer your attitudes from something comfortable to something uncomfortable. ie. Boss makes you anxious, try picking out qualities that remind you of your mother (or someone you like) so you can transfer your goodwill from one person to another and resolve the anxiety.
4. Situational fragmentation is different from the previous three, you take what causes you anxiety and you overanalyze it until it loses power, same as how a joke stops being funny if you explain it in detail. ie. Embarrassed in a public place, think about why you're embarrassed, who's causing it, what are their intentions, and why.
5. Willpower is a technique that's the hardest to master and takes years of practice, probably not worth attempting for a novice. You essentially force yourself to believe you are not anxious, you grab your entire belief system 1984-style and twist it until there's no anxiety anymore.

uh... no tips other than taking time to care for yourself, prioritizing what's important to you over what you think you should be doing, and breathing. breathing is good.

So. Me and my brother sort of got into a passive fight with our parents.

We where stuck playing a boring card game like we always do with them. Even though any time we want to do something else my mom insists on doing what she wants. And during the 3rd of 5 long rounds we couldn't take the drudgery or the obnoxious 'happy middle class family' behavior that they seem to adopt during family time. We explained the game was boring and tiresome, and we left. Now she's cleaning the dishes loudly and talking to us in short neutral sentences. I feel like shit for making her sad, but I really can't take any more of this "family(mom) time" crap, these passive aggressive tantrums she makes, or the guilt trips.

How the hell does one go about moving out and living on their own with minimal knowledge about common finances?

its funny how there's all this fucked up things going on and im sick again, but im still feeling optimistic about my life. like in any other time this shit would send me down the depression waterslide tunnel but haha, it's going to be fine. I am sad as fuck and I kind of regret making out and getting sexual with the younger brother, except not really, because he's fucking hot and likes me and we both are kind of crazy shitheads, I want to regret but to be real I don't regret any of my mistakes and shitty things because I'm fucking moving forward anyways and see, see how optimistic I suddenly am? THINGS I HAVE DONE but I've finally reached the point where I can just look back at all the other fucked up stuff I lived through that was way, way worse than this and I just want to laugh. Really, it's fucking hilarious and I should have seen it coming. I saw it coming. I made my choices anways, it's all good.

>>388005
good on ya and keep pushing on.

i have to say, looking for housing is one of the most angering damn things

'we're fun, laidback, nonjudgemental, and easy to live with!' they say, and then they have to add 'absolutely NO smoking, NO drinking, NO drugs legal or otherwise' and I want to message them just to say excuse me? you're renting here too. you don't own this place. you don't get to tell other adults what they can't do in the privacy of their own room especially when it's legal. Then there's the people that seem fantastic and then you meet them in person and it's alarm bells, alarm bells everywhere. I met this guy last night. Fucking creep. Not like he was creeping on me... it was like he'd never worked customer service in his life. He didn't even know how to fake an interest or respect for other people. Then again I never trust those super Aryan types.

>>388007
Gets even worse with city ordinances

I'm lazy and in the mood for junk food. McDonald's or frozen pizza?

>>388007
While I can sympathize where you're coming from, as a native to a town which is basically one long extended bar, I can understand people putting up those No drugs, no alcohol rules just to weed out the problem types.

This incoming blizzard is going to be a bitch. Fuck. Fuck shit.

>>388016
indeed, and I've still got a cold too.

You people are useless. I bought some chicken mcnuggets and threw them on my pizza. It was surprisingly even more vile than it sounds.

Fucking shit. So, a month later, my throat is still constricting. The coughing/gagging is worse, now sometimes paired with a small amount of vomiting. I have to get up from my desk every 30 minutes or so to go gag outside. I do it so often that the gagging gives me a headache.

Then last night I decide to use my vaporizer, because I haven't tried it yet and to this point nothing I've tried has done better than momentary relief. Before I went to bed it seemed to be a tad helpful (and since it could be on for hours that's better than anything else so far) but leaving it on overnight caused severe nasal drip and now the back of my mouth is extremely sore from it collecting, as opposed to the constricting that happens far lower in my throat.

Fuck this fat, worthless body. At least I finally set up a doctor's appointment for Tuesday, hopefully he will know what to do.

>>388019
Did you cook both at the same time? That would be your problem. You want to cook the pizza half-way first, then put thawed nuggets on top if you want to have anything other than utter crap.

I'm not saying it will taste good, just that there are things to consider in these kind of ventures.

>>388021
I slapped the nuggets on it in the last few minutes just to warm them up again. I'm not stupid and eat burnt nuggets. It's just that chicken mcnuggets don't go well with pizza at all.

>>388007
>no DRINKING
you lost me

I could understand don't smoke in the house or whatever but uh. Wow.

>>388023
forgot my pic

>>388023
recovering alcoholic who doesn't want booze in their house?

>>388028
Could be, those coming off their wild period sometimes go tee total in order to assure they can start clean.

>>388014
>>388023
>>388028
the problem is that it screams 'overcontrolling people who think they're the fucking landlord' or 'overcontrolling people who are probably subletting without their landlords knowledge and will try to control you with the excuse that they're the only ones on the lease and will kick you out whenever they want to', two shitty things to run into when you're looking for a place to stay. No smoke in the house is fine. Outdoors, you shouldn't say shit. No being drunk all the time is fine, a ban on alcohol is not even if you are a fucking Mormon or recovering alcoholic. That's all you.

>>388030
Smoke sticks to clothes and can cause problems with people who have certain allergies or asthma.
I wouldn't be a dick about some of the other things you say were listed, but after growing up with both my father and brother smoking I would definitely put a no-smoking requirement if I were looking for a housemate.

>>388033
That matters more to people who have smokers in their families, sand have lived with it and really can't stand it/don't partake. Generally, so long as you smoke outside, it doesn't stain the couches and carpets, which don't get washed regularly, and tend to stink more than clothing does.

oh, er. my beach has disappeared...??

>>388045
You got so fat, whales started stranding on YOU? Geez...

>>388045
try looking out the window on the other side dear.

>>388047
One time a sperm whale washed up here and it was really gross, pic related. Usually it's just sharks and sometimes dolphins and seals (lots of them around here), this was the first whale in a long time iirc.

Soon...

Well.
First thing I do when I touch a computer is spend a whole hour downloading random porn into a thumb drive.

>>388061
Is it good porn?

>>388062
It is what it is.
:T

>>388045
Yeah that happens sometimes. Last year we lost like...200, 300 feet of island just washed out to sea one day.

>they call that pile of gravel a beach

>>388068
>You call that patch of dirt and plants next to the water a beach.

>>388068
>>388070
Beaches please. Don't pull that weak ass shit.

>>388065
>>388062
Okay, its generally stuff like
big boob stuff, comics stuff, lotsa drawn stuff from tumblr.

>>388071
White Cliffs of Dover - lyrics…

>>388071
Yes, I can definitely imagine wanting to go surfing there.

If I see another goddammed comic sans joke again, I swear I'll punch my monitor so hard, it will just time travel right to it's manufacturing date.

>>388082
If you told jokes for a living, you'd be a comic sans comedy.

>>388076
Man, fuck surfing.

>>388068
We can get that sort of beach without having to risk our lives with sharks, jellyfish, swimming knives, etc.

>>388092
NO FUCK YOU THIS IS THE ONLY OBJECTIVELY WRONG OPINION

>>388098
forgive me father 4 i have sinned

im so sorry

Oh man, having a giant bowel movement, no matter how painful, is about the best feeling I can have. All my pain, my lethargy, my depression, inability to focus/concentrate, it all washes away afterward. It seems to have even decreased the severity of the cold I'm fighting. As the next one builds up those will gradually return; but, within that first hour or so after it happens, I can Rank SSS+ anything.

Anything.

>>388083
Hey now, that's a bit rude.
Also, that's no joke.

>>388099
There's no need for you to be sorry.
Blame the kids that abuse and spam internet jokes at nauseam. Probably not the best course of action, but what else can we do?

>>388104
make new jokes ad nauseum is the only solution.

if i'm sick AGAIN im gonna start beating the shit out of people who don't cover their fucking mouth when they sneeze/cough
instead of blessing them i will BEST them
in combat
whatever im going to bed and hopin im better when i wake up

>>388103
>hold pee in for hours
>finally release
>orgasm

>>388108
Sounds like a plan, still getting over a cold I've had since before X-mas.

>>388108
>if i'm sick AGAIN im gonna start beating the shit out of people who don't cover their fucking mouth when they sneeze/cough
Actually, if you cover your mouth while sneezing, you're spreading way more disease than if you just let rip. Your hands are the perfect breeding ground for all kinds of nasty shit and you spread it to everything you touch.

>>388117
That's why I cough into the crook of my arm, and make sure to clean there when I wash my hands.

>>388119
>down my shirt
I mean, it won't spread much.

>>388134
This. I try to cough/shirt into my shirt when possible. When it's not, I try to do so into the side of my coat if I'm wearing one; otherwise, I do >>388119 and cough into the crook of my arm.

>>388117
>Actually, if you cover your mouth while sneezing, you're spreading way more disease than if you just let rip.
Actually, that's really really bad advice.

http://www.cdc.gov/flu/protect/covercough.htm
If you have a hankie, cough or sneeze into that.
If you don't have a hankie, do it into your sleeve.
Crook of elbow if you don't have a hankie or sleeve.
And finally bare hands if you own nothing and live on the streets of Zimbabwe.

Leaving a sneeze uncovered is the worst possible option.

Fever's gone, I feel better, but my nose is still all kinds of stuffed up/runny at the same time. Unless my fever comes back tonight, I think I'll be good to work, which is I guess what matters.
>>388117
I'm gonna beat you up you dumb cold-spreading shit.

>>388139
Same here, now that I don't sound all clogged in the head I plan on calling and checking on my job, seeing if I'll actually get one.

Wind chills are gonna reach -30 degrees F here.

I'm surprisingly excited to see what -30 F feels like. Cold, I'm sure, but this is like a whole new level of cold for me.

>>388143
If its a dry cold it won't feel that bad.

I've become an Ordained Minister via online website.

So I've secret married everyone. I won't say to whom because that would ruin the surprise. It was a lovely ceremony and ate all the cake.
So enjoy your new secret married life/s.

>>388143
Are you in Illinois, too?

>Parents go on holiday
Great, I can have the place to myself for a few-
>in an area that's had a flood warning
Shit.

So I've been following a "professional cosplayer/model" on Facebook (https://www.facebook.com/EveeBeau). She does her own sewing and prop creation (when possible) and does some non-cosplay modeling. Very attractive lady, seems quite nice, and between the cosplay/sewing has a geek side.

She does, of course, post photos of herself in her cosplay or in stages of her cosplay as the costumes progress. Being a rather attractive woman to begin with, the cosplay angle only makes her hotter to many (myself included), and honestly it's starting to make me feel kind of like a creep, for some reason. It doesn't help when I look at comments and see the standard "so hot", "I'll be in my bunk", etc.

I don't know why, though; this is her page that she moderates and she willingly posts all of it herself. Maybe it's the whole thing of her being way out of my league, so I don't deserve to follow her and look at the pictures she puts up or something...

Anyone know about vasectomies,planning on having one done this year.

>>388152
I'm just going to say it's moe I'm married to. Save everyone else some trouble.

>>388165
PS they cut the scrotum, snip the vas deferens(the part that sends the sperm out the balls), and tie them closed. This can all be done while awake. My dad passed out during his, but he's kind of a pussy.

Thanks, thinking might as well get it done now lest run into problems later I don't plan for.

>>388156
Nope but kinda close, I'm in Ohio.

>>388169
I don't think it's easy to undo, you REALLY sure you don't wanna have kids?

I mean, think of all the money you will spend on them!

>>388172
Yep and there is always adoption, I've spent a near decade attempting to care for my sisters brood (tears me how careless she is), I'm done. I've not one single parental ambition and as stated its near pure hell for me since as much as I'd want to care about family, I just can't. Not for lack of trying, its just a void.

>boy i used to crush on in school (one of two people i actually stayed in contact with) says i'm "frightening, truly" but "completely excellent"

it's everything i've ever wanted

So there's a bunny thread, a cat thread, and a dog thread on /co/. Is there any way we could make a board for weird fetish threads like that because it's pretty clear the people there are all jerking off and it takes up space that could be used for other things.

>>388175
One of the best compliments one can receive, Machiavelli would be proud.

Okay, remember >>387868 ?

Well, I decided to give "Girl B" (my now ex-colleague) a ring, just because I hadn't had any contact with her in a fortnight, and I thought it'd be polite, us having exchanged numbers and all... and I asked if she wanted to have a drink sometime. She said she'd get back to me with a day when she's free

I still haven't talked to "Girl A" since Christmas Eve (she seems to be on facebook a lot, but we seem to keep missing each other) and it's not that we're not friendly, but... that seems to be it. Nothing wrong with that, but I guess I had higher expectations. It really doesn't help that I've only seen her for about 4-5 hours over 3 months, whereas Girl B is somebody I've seen almost every day for two months. But that's because of the commitments me and Girl A have made to our lives, and on our last date, she waited a whole hour for me to get there (the trains were fucking appalling) so... yeah.

Am I being a scumbag for asking Girl B for a drink without seeing how things with Girl A pan out, or am I just overthinking things?

>>388176
We've already asked moot for /fet/ like a dozen times. It's not going to happen.

It would be nice if all the porn went to /pco/, but then all the retards and jerks would flood in too.

>>388178
don't think so, you've not made it super serious yet. How far away from you is A?

the only things i could wish more from rats is that they lived longer and that they didn't chew up cords so much.

otherwise, they're the highest of tier pets. i've had many a wounded heart over them. very special friends they are.

keep...................going..............bitch

fuck i cant i'll just put off everything till tomorrow, tonight is sad little pussy bitch night (and you're not even getting drunk thats right you god damned alcoholic)

>>388181
i love my rat

>>388183
and your rat sounds like a very very good rat

>>388180
Right now, A is in Ireland with her folks, but she comes back tomorrow (I think... like I said, it's been a while since we last spoke). Both of them live a stone's throw away from the city centre, which is half an hour's train ride for me.

The main reason I'm freaking out is because my uncle cheated on his wife, and my older brother cancelled his engagement with his girlfriend of 6 years, and is now dating the woman his ex assumed he was cheating on her with

>>388190
B can still be worked as a drink with an old colleague if needed, you are being sociable. Try to get in touch with A and see what she wants to do when she gets back.

Heater broke because it's cold. Now my parents are forbiding me from using a space heater even though I have a surge protector because they're worried about the circuit breaker dying. FML why do I even?

>>388195
I feel ya, 5 going on -10 here and all I've got is the comp. Damn window is insulated and closed..I'VE STILL GOT A DRAFT!!! But yea the heater thing, just had three more houses go up in the area yesterday so I do understand the concern, oh and a "Trailer Mansion"

>>388196
And now I've got my father threatening to throw me out of the house. On today of all days.

>>388197
well that's unreasonable

was it one of you guys? you know what you did.

>>388201
for once, it wasn't me
we're talking about the creepy anon, right
cause the joke here is that for once i'm not being creepy
so we're clear

Is it me? I'm an anon. And I'm real creepy. Like legit creepy. Haven't touched another human being in about 8 years or so. I wouldn't know what I did, though. But then again, I'm creepy.

>>388202
>>388203
wasn't you, especially if you don't know what you did.
hey, even good people can get creepy sometimes. what made it bad was the sexism and blatant objectification under the premise of it being a joke.

feelsbad.jpg

>>388204
You might as well tell us what was done and who did it. It's not like anyone here hates anyone else for any extended period of time. "Drama" here is like 2 days max.

Also I'm just curious because I haven't seen anything around here and maybe it's because I'm dumb or maybe I just don't pay enough attention. IDK

>>388207
nothing outright terrible. just... troubling. i usually get nice or hilarious rude anonymous asks on my tumblr.

one anon posted the following.

If you were a lady I’d want to bang you more than I already do (which is a fair amount, but not too much so that it’s weird or something).

Which... was in fact very weird an somewhat distressing since a) if the person does know me well enough to joke about this, he/she wouldn't need to be on anon, b) if this anon is typing something like this AND knows the extent to which i am upset by non-consensual objectification and sexual entitlement, this anon is barking up the wrong tree and i do not put up with that.

there's a point where joking about sexism and objectification isn't fun or funny. it's no longer self-aware humor, and i'm firmly against it.

however, if this anon and i actually have this good of a rapport, why the fuck you anon, son? and why you fantasizing me as a woman just to get your rocks off? i don't mind the idea of being a woman, but if it's just so it's easier to get off, that's fucked up.

unrelated but i just remembered that pym needs to learn to write better holiday texts. he's really good at unintentionally sounding like a goddamned thoughtless cunt. like... blatantly extra effort to sound like a careless shitstain. why would you do that? self-defeatist stuff isn't worth my time.

So my constricting throat got worse... until Thursday, when I was slammed with a head cold. And then no constriction.

And then my head cold started wearing off yesterday, and now I have a sinus infection. :/ Good thing I saw the doc today, got some antibiotics that should clear everything up. I hope.

I want to go to Coloradoland and buy NICE LEGAL THINGS there

I maybe won't ever leave, though

>>388213
tis the season for stacked illness, cold, sinus infection and now a chest thing

i start dance lessons tomorrow

>>388224
What kind of dance?

>>388228
I believe it's just called "tribal" dancing. I went once before just to try it, it seems to basically be belly dancing but cooler.

>>388229
Native American Styles of it?

>>388243
Er, no. Mostly Middle Eastern/North African with Spanish and Indian influences.

>>388248
okay, was looking at google and was thinking it might be the new trend for it.

>>388229
Fuck yeah!

I'm starting to notice that my everyday problems could easily be avoided if I had a smartphone.
or just a regular fuckin mobile.

>>388280
Ditto, my bullheaded stance on not having one lead to some very problematic issues, hence part of my reinventing of self acquiring one.

>>388280
dont do it man

i definitely have times where they could come in handy, but i also keep a notebook where I can write down things like addresses and directions. I can look everything up online at home on the computer but I refuse to carry one around with me all the time fuck that noise

my htc has saved my ass numerous time, but even though i don't use it often at all i can see how someone could get addicted to fiddling with it all the time (like my sister) if they were that sort of person. i think it's important to have even a basic mobile phone though. you don't actual need a smartphone specifically.

I got an old iphone from my cousin so I started using that and it's nice to be able to have a GPS, MP3 player and phone all in one. I'm not the world's biggest Apple fan but it's pretty convenient that and the service I got for it is actually cheaper than my last phone plan. I'd recommend a smartphone as long as you don't feel it would be too distracting

Oh, good. My body realized that my head cold was gone, so it brought back the constricting throat, just in case I started to feel too good.

I went to play D&D and people left so they locked the door so now I can't get back in my house. My cell phone is out of batteries. It's p. cold out.

>>388286
i'm a scientist, not a physician, but this seems like a very believable case of some auto-immunity syndrome. not necessarily life threatening, but under duress, your immune system has to fight off something else.

i don't have any conclusive proof and i'd need a reading on the orchestra of antibodies present before and after the cold left. just a suggestion that this may be worth looking into for that reason.

but... one important note. nocebos. if you believe something enough, your body may experience it, so don't take my word for it. like i said. not an expert. just look into it if you can, yeah?

>>388287
...how are you posting?

>>388288
Yeah. I saw a doc on Tuesday, but since I was still suffering the head cold the throat thing was gone and I couldn't give him much to go on except trying to explain. He gave me some antibiotics (since I also have a sinus infection, but that wasn't happening before the head cold) and said to call back in two weeks if I'm not better to get a recommendation for an ENT who can look down my throat.

Also, I have pretty bad allergies (still controlled by OTC meds, thankfully) so my body is always fighting something; there's no need to make a new thing to fight.

>>388287
Break a window.

>>388291
Nintendo DS. I just have no way to use it to communicate with anyone who could help.

>>388292
Meh, it was just the cold for a couple hours.
