Humans do produce pheromones but products claiming to contain them are scams. Don't be a sucker.

Just get some good cologne, and if you don't know how to wear it properly, I'd suggest looking it up. Don't just spray it on yourself.

Doctorfags,
Am considering pursuing a career in medicine, and I'm wondering what grades I should be getting in my chosen bachelor's degree before I even consider the MD degree. Haven't started any degrees yet, just wondering. Will definitely be trying for a 7 gpa. I know they will consider anyone with a gpa over 5.

T.b.h. if you can give me any solid ground to stand on, it would be great.

It is a tradition here in Italy to have a big dinner with all the relatives and I don't want to spend my time with them. They're fucking silly and say stupid things all the time (they're not educated and most of them left the school at 14 yo). What excuse can I invent to avoid the dinner?

Good idea skipping dinner with family, you wouldn't want them to make you dumber. Instead of going to dinner with them why don't you finish up your dissertation on what it means to be a pretentious asshat?

I've been having a hard time lately, and I'm thinking I need some help turning my life around.

Do you have any tips, or know any books that could help me, tell me how to find some purpose, shape up, and stop shitposting all day or feeling bored and depressed when I'm not? Even obvious things.

Not putting this in /wsr/, cause I really hope for some personal wisdom from you guys as well.
Thanks.

Simple question /adv/, thinking about getting one of the two for me and my long distance GF for Christmas, thoughts on which?

>http://we-vibe.com/jive
$120
>http://we-vibe.com/nova
$150

nova would be more stimulation during masturbation, but jive has the option of extended use and light public play.

Can't decide, would love some general opinions.

Why do you want to sell it? It's probably not worth that much. If you are desperate for money, sell your body, you will get much more.
>>
>>19026858
because I do not need it
and I need money

I play the piano and I'm pretty good at it. I want to use it as a sort of social proof and as a way to connect with people (and, yes, impress girls--not even going to try to deny it). How do I do so without being pretentious about it? It seems like most people don't really like "that guy who plays an instrument at parties", and most homes don't even have pianos anymore anyways.

Basically I want to be able to use it as a way to put my best foot forward, but do so in a graceful and un-annoying way. For what it's worth I also play guitar fairly well but "that guy who carries a guitar around" is even worse, and I prefer piano.

Being that douchbag who plays an instrument at parties is only a douchbag when he doesn't know what he's doing and he just half strums on a guitar for 3 hours humming under his breath playing the same three cords.

If you can actually play some songs (some good, popular ones people know) then do it (gracefully, ie, no talking up, bragging, showboating, you just sit down and start playing, let the people around you bring the energy)

Just do it because you love the music and that will show and people will like it

You can't.
Hell, even your post radiates pretentiousness.
>>
You do it if the situation is right. If there is a piano where you are, then you may or may not get a good spot to play it. You have to read the social situation and judge for yourself. You could also try to bring it up at some point, "hey, that looks like a nice piano, I kinda want to try it".

By good, do you mean you can play a few simple punk rock songs, or an actual concert pianist?

My 17-year-old sister is pregnant.

I've been ignoring her for a few years, and while I was gone she started getting fucked hard by two brony chads she met at an anime con. I can't help but feel like this is my fault.

What do we do? She doesn't want to have it terminated but there's no room in our mobile for a baby.

What do you mean first date? First date as in your first date ever or just with her? How old are you? Where do you live and in what area? What is she like? What have you two talked about? Was there a certain vibe set forth in the convo?
>>
The first date should always be something that lets you talk and socialize, like a coffee, or going to the bar and getting food and drink. Or you could go hiking or some shit.

Drop some acid with her

Buy a champagne - that should get her tipsy, and then lull her into your house. Mutilate her, shed her and then fuck that corpse of her. After that, cook her.

To be honest even if I did go to Alabama I don't even know the likelihood of me staying there would be. Isn't it better to make connections in the place you'd rather live?

It's better to wait a semester to attend a college you'll like rather than letting your impatience get the best of you. I doubt you'll enjoy UA since you're trans. Take that time to do serious research into which universities have transfer agreements with your CC, try to find a good parttime job, etc. Believe me, it will be worth it.

Cali fag here

I don't have first hand knowledge of Humboldt, but by reputation and conversation with alumni there, it's evidently some liberal/hippie Mecca there. They say it's a very comfy campus where everyone smokes pot, knows each other. Basically you'll probably be sitting around a camp fire and literallly singing kumbaya.

The HUGE negative about Humboldt is that it's in the middle of no where. It's like 3 hours away from any major city, so if you're a city fag that likes to go to clubs, then then that's going to be a lot harder on you. It's a rural campus, make no mistake. Did you try applying to San Francisco and San Jose State? I'm sure, for obvious reasons, those areas would be more up your alley.
>>
>>19025805
here >>19026092

Unfortunately, most of the Cal States, and probably most of the universities across the nation, primarily accept through the Fall term. I mentioned previously that you might want to apply to other Cal States, namely: San Jose, San Francisco, LA, San Diego etc.

I'm in San Diego State, and we have the second largest LGBT community (Hillcrest) outside of the Bay Area. And obviously San Diego is a fun urban beach city.

So only you can answer what your priorities are. Humboldt is probably one of the comfiest campuses in the nation (literally next to redwoods). I've had friends and teachers tell us how zen and beautiful it is to go hiking there. But again, nothing happens in Humboldt and you're 3+ hours away from cities. If you want a small private liberal arts feeling, then go for it. It was definitely on my own shortlist but I pussied out because I'm a city dweller through and through.

So anyway, if you want a city/urban campus, then you're going to want to sit out the spring term. Also, the application period for the Cal States ended Nov. 30. You had to have applied one year in advance. If you didn't apply for options for the fall, then you already closed that door on yourself -- unless you're willing to sit out a whole extra year.

Is this what normal, every day life is like in the US now? You go to the store or to college or to wherever and you are expected to interact with a bunch of "trans" people like it's normal?
>>
>>19025050
>trans

Can I be honest with you? Your school life is the least of your concerns right now. Sort that shit out first, I don't know what you should do but it's not healthy.

I think I can at least speak from experience, seeing as I was into androgynous tumblr shit in my teens. Do you ever feel discomfort at the thought of looking like a girl? Do you ever think that you're doing something wrong? Well, THAT's dysphoria and as I reclaimed my manhood it got much better. I'm not necessarily applying that to your situation, but give it a thought before you go further.

My computer science class partner is a useless idiot. I'm no computer genius and I actually want to do well. I'm not close enough to any of my classmates to leech off their code. I don't want to snitch on this guy since that seems like a pussy move, I probably won't get a partner change and he isn't going anywhere anyway. Is my only option to suck it up and write the code myself?

Also another thing, the partners were chosen. I only said yes to this guy because I didn't want to be a dick and all my friends in comp. sci. paired up with their closer, smarter friends. I'm starting to feel like such a loser for not just saying no to being his partner because I didn't want to hurt his feelings. What do I do man? I'm in the wrong aren't I, how should I deal with these situations?

>>19025260

Talk with your professor about this during office hours, the sooner the better. This is the same kind of recourse you'd get in a professional setting, which is what your class is trying to prepare you for.

Don't be bitchy, just say concretely how he's fucking up. "My partner has worked on maybe thirty percent of our project and won't answer my e-mails. I'm having a lot of difficulties working on this project with him."

This is how I got a 90 in my american politics class when my group members got 70's.
>>
>>19025266
I guess I will do that. I'm just worried that he might remove marks because we didn't work together. I'll finish the program alone to learn it, but I'll make my partner responsible for finishing his part.

I need some loss prevention help guys.

Some asshole has been stealing wooden pallets that we leave behind the store that I work at and my supervisor wants it to end. I tried chaining the pallets to a fence but they were just cut through the next day.

The building won't let me put up a fake camera and there's no room inside the store to house these things. Anyone have any suggestions?

Kitler unrelated

>>19026785
Next time, on the pallet, put a small note saying I'm watching you. If it didn't stop, make the next note saying - time for incarceration bud. You look real cute on camera. Say cheese

Get her a boyfriend who knows what she would like. For instance bf got me ballroom dancing lessons for my birthday and a nice dinner after each class. Never been ballroom dancing, it was super fun so you should think hard about what your girlfriend would like.
