Decent cuts here and there, but scenes like the one in 0:19 could be removed.

Also, some of the selfie shots could've been better footage if we could get the full view of the building around 0:2x

I've been friends with them for years, but lately I've been wanting to talk about more serious topics with them. They derail any conversation that has a tinge of seriousness or is about serious topics. I'm not saying I'm better than them or anything, I did it just today and I apologised.

As an example, we've been having an ongoing debate on how to pronounced Reese's. They're from a part of the country that pronounces it incorrectly (they say ree sees or ree seize). I believe I've supplied them with enough evidence to prove to them that they're saying it incorrectly (commercials, a spokesperson saying how it's pronounced, etc.) so at this point I believe they're just messing with me. They've said that it's my part of the country that says it incorrectly (despite getting people from around the world and asking them how they pronounce it) and that the commercials can't be real evidence because they're filmed in Hollywood. Reese's would never allow their brand name to be said incorrectly for tens of years on adverts, I have to believe that they're just messing with me.

I'm an anxiety riddled beta so it's hard to bring this stuff up with them. I told one about it and he said he had no clue what I was talking about. As I tried explaining it to him I got flustered and tripping over myself and he said "maybe you're just dumb, anon" and even when I pointed it out then he said he had never noticed them saying stuff like that before. I think he's serious.

It just worries me that even when I do point it out I get shut down. I've hinted at this before and they become immediately defensive and say that I'm just as bad.

Like the other people in this thread said, you expect objective answers in topics that are meant to have more than one side. I can kinda relate cause I used to be like you, I used to always want to prove myself right at every argument. Then I realised it was cause I'm very insecure about myself because I've been underperforming academically and felt that the way to prove I'm not dumb is by constantly getting into arguments with other people to prove that I don't need to do well in school to be smart. Wanting to argue constantly is a sign of insecurity, not intelligence.

>Next on the agenda: how to pronounce Ghirardelli and Lindt
>So stressed out, I can't even sleep

OP, you remind me of my friend from college. Her parents were obsessed with talking about being Democrats and gun control and communism and capitalism. My friend would go on about it but not as much and then she got a boyfriend with similar interests. We would literally be at a bar on like Friday night and they want to talk about gun control and being Democrats and I was like I don't care about gun control. I don't care about Democrats. It doesn't matter I don't want to discuss it.
Their response: "you must be a Republican who loves George W. Bush"
My response now I'm not Republican and I don't think George W bush is as dumb as you say but I really don't care.
And even if I said I agree with him but I just didn't want to talk about it they would still go on and on and on.

Basically, forcing any topic of discussion on people who aren't interested is a faux pas, bordering on rude.
Maybe sometimes you can try discussing what they are interested in and back and forth. If they never ever want to discuss what you're interested in either it's a topic that's too sensitive for them or maybe you're not having enough in common to actually be friends, or the third possibility is that the topics you're bringing up are too controversial or you're too pushy about your point to make it fun to talk to you.

>Implying that smart people actually want to waste time discussing politics
>>
>>19026431
Discussing politics can be smart if it concerns you. Like for example, if you're an arabian dude and you're arguing about jerusalem being the state of israel, then it makes sense and people will talk with you about it. If you're brazilian and you talk about something that happens there, then people will like it. Relevancy and talking about things that happen in current time are important, people will like you more when you talk about shit that happens now over shit that happened thousands of years ago.

theres this girl in my school i like

month ago i think she liked me too - she suddenly asked me how i was, when i was in a group she greeted the group and then called my name separately, we were making eye contact without a reason and just smiling at each other

ive never had a girlfriend or even a girl who likes me when shes sober so i thought she was just being friendly and i am not aware of the hints girls give that shows their interest in you

now she greets me without even looking at me and everything is different

so i literally fucked up the best thing that has happened to me in my teenage years (i am quite fat and not very good lookin) cause for my low self esteem is that everytime i like a girl its a trainwreck for me - she doesnt like me back.... and bonus to this is she saying - youre a cool guy, every girl would want a boyfriend like you but... (why they even say this? its a false hope and makes you feel even worse)

i feel miserable now and its senior year. a ball is coming up so i thought itd be a great chance to bring the spark up again but i dont know.

so what are your thoughts? should i feel miserable like i am now or ask her out, get rejected and feel more miserable than i feel now?
>>
You're in school for fuck sake, why give so many shits, make sure you seem interested maybe mimic what she was doing with you in the past.
And definitely ask her out, if she rejects you then you can feel bad but go to the ball anyway and have an epic time without her, maybe even try spend time with her there let her join in on your fun. but dont creep around her all the time, just stay in general proximity, enough that its not weird and that you can still walk up and talk about whatever the fuck you see fit

...or you know just dont ask her anything and go AWOL from her life while you sit in your room wolfing down a jar of peanut butter feeling like a miserable little shit

Live your life, everyone gets rejected so dont hang yourself for it

I'm in love with a wild girl who needs to be tamed. She likes it rough and needs to be dominated sexually. Thing is I haven't got much sexual experience ( not a virgin tho) and never had a real relationship. I feel like I'm way out of my waters especially since this girl is exceptionally beautiful.

How do I into being dominant? I have trouble being rougher when I actually care and respect that person.

pic unrelated I guess

OP, my general rule of thumb is light choking (you want to squeeze the sides of her throat, it will constrict her throat enough for her to breath but jaggedly, and makes it feel good). Don't be afraid to take control and throw her onto the bed, pin down her arms... DO NOT SLAP HER FACE UNLESS ASKED. I personally feel that this is not sexy, the face is more personal

As for yourself being more dominant, I would suggest watching porn where the man is more rough. Even if you attain more feelings for her, if you want to capture her heart totally, you will need to have that more dominant nature to you.
>>
>>19023690
Just fuck around with her, nothing too hardcore at first, start with teasing (playing with her and abruptly stopping) see how/what she likes and go from there.
>>
Hey OP, your answers lie in the book 'The Sex God Method'. I couldn't be bothered with the entire thing, but I read about a third and it changed my entire perspective on female sexuality.

It explains 4 primary aspects of what makes sex good for women. They are Domination, Emotion, Variety, and Immersion. As a result I've been able to enjoy sex myself a lot more. You can essentially reduce women to fucktoys who will thank you once you're done.
>>
>>19024005
Have similar case as op. Face slapping her went well for me actually.

If she likes it rough it does not mean she's not liking it the intimate way. When you both feel comfortable in lovely dovely style, then you can go rougher and rougher.
I'm actually a sadomasochist so she can bite and scratch me all she wants, while I'm being delicate but confident.

>wild girl who needs to be tamed.
You can't make a hoe a housewife.
NEVER!!
You learn that shit.

There's this 40 year old chick at work that's a single mom, I'm 30. We're not close, we just trade hellos and such. She seems depressed about being alone. She jokes around saying that she needs a sugar daddy and shit. She looks rough for 40. She looks like she was on meth or heroin.

Today was the Christmas party and she goes and rubs her tits all over me when we were dancing.

Im petrified of seeing her at work on Mon. How should I go about this.
>>
Use the fact that she's a desperate single mom to fuck her without any responsibility.

After all, that's what single moms are for.

>sugar daddy and shit
>40 year old single mom

>>19026053
Couple options,
1. ask her if she wants to dance again
if yes you need to ask your self if you want a relationship with baggage or some fun.

if no, no big deal. also, DON'T do this at work. Get her facebook/phone number at work, but not relationship questions at work.

2. "this is going to come off as weird, you seem kind of ..... downtrodden, if you want to talk about anything or just vent let me know. I'll listen, if you tell me to fuck off(word your language accordingly) I'll never ask again(fucking don't if she says fuck off, but keep saying hi in passing)
2a Its just..... at the party you seemed really fun and I can't figure out why you seem sad.
2b This is sounding weird, its not like a relationship thing, I'm just concerned.
>>
>>19026399
Oh, forgot to mention, she could have just been drunk dancing. Ever been to a club? its 99% clothed sex. Not necessarily about attractions.

Curiosity; more detail about the party?

>>19026053
How should you go about what?

Came to the college, really fucked because I didn't have any real friends and I was alone as fuck. Depressions were on a normal and I cut myself and drank often to forget the shit that's been happening in my head.

Came to the college, first year on a dorm, the guy I shared it with was alright but no big connection has been made. After a half a year I was smoking outside a dorm at night and this girl I knew from classes came to me and said hi. I met her couple times before, but didn't really make much of her. She lit a cigarette with me and told me that she's kinda drunk and I suggested to her if she doesn't want to continue so we went to a bar. After a beer of talking she told me that she's a lesbian. I didn't give a fuck about it, why should I.

We started texting after that night a lot. She became my best friend and I was hers. We hanged up almost everyday after that, and the amount of texts, oh my god. Never really met anyone like her before in my life, for the first time, I had a real best friend.

After a couple months spent together, I started to fall in love with her. I knew that she could never feel the way I did about her but she was the only person in my life and I stayed friends with her. We rolled a couple times and always ended in cuddles, that even intensified the feels I had towards her.
On the second year I moved to a flat and she often stayed to watch a movie and drink some wine while we cuddled to sleep afterwards. The nights were the best times, the mornings when she left and I knew I could never keep her for myself hurt like nothing else.

You answered your own question in your post anon.
>she took what I said to her about opening herself to other people to her heart and that it changed her life and found new people
I have a feeling you already know what to do. You need to open yourself to new people in your life, its always uncomfortable to do so after not doing it for so long, but you will find someone new. Think what would have happened if you decided not to go out for a smoke that first night. You need to actively put yourself in situations where you meet new people. You are in college so there is no excuse for not being able to do that. You will be able to experience cuddling AND sex, nothing is forever, the cycle will continue and you will meet more new people in your life again. I have been doing this for years until I met someone who wanted to stick around a while longer.

Firstly, you deserve a lot of credit for being a great friend. You were, among other things:

>honest
>supportive
>selfless
>loyal

Now, think about what people say they want in a friend or romantic partner. The qualities you have are high on most lists. You're a good guy.

>What to do now?
Be nice to yourself for the next couple of days. You're going through something legitimately painful because you did the right thing. Do what you would do for a friend in that situation and comfort yourself.

I rarely sympathise as much with posters on /adv/ as I do with you OP. It's a beautiful story you're telling here.

And I think that's part of your solution.
Consider it a story. This actually happened to you, and you should be glad it did. Now you get to go through the rest of your life, having this happen to you.

You overcome by letting go. Think pragmatically about where you are in life, and not where you were the last couple of years. You are here now, and the world is wide open to you, filled to an increddibly large rim of opportunities. You aren't robbed of anything you have to leave behind, because it's in your own very nature to create such things that you've experienced. Now you get to grow even larger, and you should be thankfull to both her and yourself.

You know how to meet people. You met her, didn't you. Make yourself available. You don't have to grasp into thin air, just be open, and it'll come more often and hasteful than you might imagine.

The rest will sort itself out, if your just stick to what I've told you. Open up to both your joys and sorrows, and choose what sticks and what passes through.

Dare to be great, senpai.

Putting yourself through rigorous schedules and investing in hobbies such as online games, overwatch. One thing you can also do is get into board games or dnd with nerds in your community. You'll feel better about yourself because they'll actually like you for you and want you around. Nerds like people who are bad at college because they can relate. Your biggest goal should be to develop connections with approachable, friendly people.

So I've been depressed for a while.
My gf dumped me last year, cut off all conections and blamed me for rumors about her spreading.
After feeling really down and crying for months I finally started having therapy with a psychologist.
Im slowly moving on, but yesterday I found out she's got cancer.
I don't really want to do something stupid, but this matter is depressing me. My close friend suggested me to just don't get involved.
Any suggestions? I dont want to do something stupid that I'll regret later, or hurt me more

black anon here. Does anybody have any advice on how I could attract "artsy" or Tumblr girls. I say this because I'm trying to date girls who are into the same sort of art taste as mine. I like music like coil, the smiths and mac demarco and film directors was Anderson, David lynch and jean Goddard.
But on tinder whenever I swipe right on these types who even have the same Spotify artists like me I always get no matches.

I was thinking of taking an art history class next semester to maybe see if I could meet somebody from class.
also, im not just limiting this to white girls only. even the black art girls seem to ignore me. Any advice would be helpful!

Depends. Some of the more traditional disciplines like electrical engineering, architecture, etc. will generally have people who are pretty ok in the head and are great people to be around. Good people tend to lean towards traditionalism and conservatism for some reason, while art students and their like tend to lean towards modernisation, liking new shit just cause it looks weird but lacks any kind of value etc.

The new hip generation judges things by looks, while the old, more mature generation learns to appreciate actual values. At least that's the way I see it.

Disturbingly accurate. My brother is actually married to an art student, and she constantly yells at him 24/7, doesn't have a job and is just a general nuisance for everybody. Nobody in the family actually likes her, but we pretend to do just to not hurt my brother's feelings. Seriously, do NOT date an art student.

>>19026386
Everyone has fetishes, and yea people who are actually in fields where you need to study hard will tend to be sexually starved, cause EE is not as laidback as art where you can just cruise through this shit and fuck women throughout your semester and still pass.

Distance yourself from the opinions of others and do things independently. When you hear an opinion from someone else, question it by default and rationalize a better version of that opinion.
>>
>>19026105
Learn to think critically, regularly educate yourself, and get in the habit of catching your thoughts whenever you notice they're being influenced by externals. Avoiding allowing memes dictate your worldview is a start, in other words, minimise impact of the society and culture you were born into, on the way you perceive the world. Rethink all your conclusions and modes of thought, as much as you can.

You start by reading more books.
Build argument against things just to do it.

Hi, /adv/, call me selfish if you want but..

I got into a fight with the girl I like because I got jealous of the guy she likes, but we're really close and I still like her. I got depressed after this and I contacted this girl that used to like me, we used to talk a lot, too, but we eventually stopped talking. Anyway, I contacted this girl and told her about everything and that I felt like shit and I wanted to die. I could tell she honestly didn't care but she was trying her hardest to help. I eventually told her that I was only talking to her again because I didn't have my crush anymore, she told me she was ok with it. Ok so fast forward, I made up with my crush, but my happiness didn't last long. I forgot my crush had access to my account(we have each other accounts) and I think she hates me again because I told that other girl all that stuff.

What do I do?

Both 100% accurate.
Also, don't do favors for people that know you have a crush on them. Some like the attention and free shit of "hang arounds." They don't like you and will use you for rides, free shit, and flattery. And change your fucking passwords man, ask her to do the same. WHY, FUCKING WHY did you have access in the first place? How often do you do shit for her? How often does she do shit for you? Math it out, sounds like you are a beta-faggot being used by a girl who has no interest in you. She "likes" you when she can get something from you and you are equating her not needing/wanting anything with her being mad at you.

So here I am looking at lesbos and minding my own business when my brother gets home from work (he works nights and got off early apparently). Of course I don't hear him so he decides to come bursting through my door at light speed asking in an exasperated tone, "what are you doing?!" So me pulling my pants up frantically (not sure whether he saw my dick) respond with the only rational thing as he stares at me, "WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!" His eyes get wide as he realizes what he is witnessing and he leaves the room pretty fast. So now I am left here wondering what the heck I should do.
