/kind/ - Random Acts of Kindness

Being some variety of auditor often involves driving to a lot of different places to do your auditing stuff. It doesn't require that much education as far as I know, just a certification usually. I know with medical chart auditing you'll often have to go out to all kinds of different hospitals to do paperwork stuff. I don't know much about this field though.

Consultant?

>>22908

For low-skilled work it would be a "handyman".

For more professional or skilled work, you'd generally call yourself a "consultant".

>>22917

I feel I must have been somewhat misleading or something and making my work seem more official than it is (because this is me mind you, I'm trying to think of what to put on my resúme for a new job). I work at a Subway see, but I don't have a specific title like that I am the person who runs the register. I do run the register as needed but I do everything from dishes to prep to serving the food (-and I sure aint gonna put "sandwich artist" as my job title). The closest thing I can think of is "sales associate" but I know I've heard something better uttered before. I guess knowing this term would also help me in the search because online services for finding jobs are a complete mess and don't ever seem to put unskilled labor jobs off in their own place.

The only problem I could never find on google is whether very deep breathing is safe. It makes your body vibrate in certain spots and give you better high than alcohol or weed with huge endorphine rush. The problem is, some people say it's beneficial ancient meditation technique that promotes good cardiovascular health and others that it's unhealthy hyperventilation. I'm afraid to do it because there seems to be no study on this, unlike as with cold showers which is a similar thing.

This post contains penis talk.

Why do my urine and seminal fluids sometimes smell like things like chicken noodle soup and popcorn butter and stuff? I mean I guess there's some sort of natural eating away at the urethra or whatever from the acids and there's salts and such but I dunno. I never really eat meat though my diet is pretty lousy overall and I'm not in shape should this be humored as dangerous.

"Freelance", "Handyman", or maybe "Factotum" if you're fancy.

Don't use Factotum.

>sales associate

man I hate this corp-speak. all it does is obfuscate the employee/employer relationship.

it's like calling a slave a "perpetually employed field technician."

>>23064

That's a pretty good one, you make that up yourself?

But god yes, putting aside how most of us pretty much are slaves (y'know, they good old "wage slaves", you work you die), there's nothing more soul-crushing than just trying to get these crap positions that treat you like you're supposed to be a product or a machine.

>>23030

No, it only supports FX-type audio manipulation plugins (VST's, think reverb, distortion, flanger, that kind of thing), not instrument-type audio generator plugins (VSTi's, synthesizers, samplers, drum machines, etc). You'll need a proper DAW if you want to use those, Audacity is just a simple audio editor.

While it does support recording audio and editing recorded audio, it doesn't have any real audio generation capabilities (besides very simple tones) or a MIDI sequencer, and it can't do anything in real-time.

How safe and good idea in general is to use custom theme engines on Windows? Any software you can recommend in particular for this?

Kinda dumb question about imageboard culture, exactly when is it correct and incorrect to use greentext?

>>23820

Green text is for quoting and telling stories in a bullet point kinda format mostly

But can be used for shitposting too

I bought an anal vibrator and it didn't make me feel anything of note. Do I need a different one bigger, more powerful?) maybe or could I just not be sensitive somehow?

>>23847

If you're a guy, that's understandable, as men have less nerves there. If you're a girl, you either have an unusually large and/or insensitive asshole (due to medical reasons or being a whore).

How do I even know this? I'm not even a friend.

>>23893

What in the hell, girls have more sensitive buttholes too? Like I needed more reason for envy. Why do they get to have all the fun?! Yadda yadda yadda, cramps and childbirth, I don't care. ;n;

>>23898

This discussion is repulsive.

Find a search engine, search for "prostate massage", find tutorial, you're welcome.

>>23917

I understand, thank you.

>>23899

Hey-hey, no need to butt in and poop the party. I know we can be anal about keeping things tight but the crap we pump out is spread wide to an assortment of colors. On the other hand I don't mean to plunge in here and take a dump on things and be a brown star so with enuff articululation as I can express (I'm certainly not a pro stating my mind) I wish to turn the other cheek to your rough entrance and just drop things where we are. I know I stink at fitting in but I hope I haven't left too much of mess behind with my exit.

Prostate massage is basically exploiting the body mechanics. It's like putting electrode in your brain to stimulate the part responsible for pleasure, instead of feeling the pleasure like everyone else. When you punch a hole under the cookie jar and take them all from the source, there are repercussions. Maybe prostate massage is harmful but we don't know it yet?

Will we ever see a /pol/ that isn't so hardcore in its edgy Nazi roleplay? Most anons do realize that the whole thing was a joke in the beginning, right? How long until we can get away from hearing "cuck" every two fucking seconds? I would appreciate answers.

>>23952

Is it so hard to believe some people might hold such opinions?

>>24028

No, I've met people who take /pol/ seriously. It's pretty embarrassing because I saw one go into a fit of rage over a dirty kitchen. He started ranting about how the "kikes and friends" were responsible for all his problems in life. It was a pretty intricate conspiracy that involved pulling out his phone to show me /pol/ inforgraphs. Needless to say everyone stopped speaking to the lunatic afterwards, and he has since cleaned up his act. It's fine to have an opinion, but the whole "Hitler did nothing wrong"thing has just killed all actual discourse. The the board of jokes became a joke in itself.

>>24059

My advice is to be an asshole, but be a funny one.

>>24059

Be more self aware. Practice it.

As Tucker from Red vs. Blue told his son, "Women like it when you tell them they're pretty, but they also like it if you're a bit of a jerk to them. So.. mix it up a little."

Bow chicka bow wow!

>>23916

I've read both The Game and Rules Of The Game, and… well, yes and no. You can learn how to pretend-at-socializing until it becomes second nature (AKA "fake it til you make it"). Many of the principles behind the "techniques" require little translation to use for, for example, just making friends or even dastardly deeds like kissing up to your boss or getting out of a traffic ticket.

Also, don't listen to anyone saying it's "misogyny"; I'd actually criticize Neil Strauss's books as white knighting! The guy pedestalizes women to an embarrassing degree.

It's best to cherrypick.

>>24099

It's perhaps the best to put oneself above the game and don't concern oneself with relationships. Unless of course you can't and/or don't want to.

Also, it's worth remembering there are people who develop genuine relationships and for whom the game doesn't exist.

Neil Strauss's books are obviously misogynistic in that he looks down on women, but that's only if you validate concept of misogyny in the first place.

>>24096

I do a singe sit-up every morning!

>>23916

If you have pdfs of those books please post them.

I'd like to give them a read.

Also I don't think those topics are unkind.

>>24100

>Also, it's worth remembering there are people who develop genuine relationships and for whom the game doesn't exist.

Yes, there do exist social naturals but even The Game calls PUAs "geeks playing pretend" or in nicer terms in Rules, those who are naturals at it and those who learn.

Basically, PUA is for /r9k/ers who only care about pussy and don't mind developing "vocal copypasta" to spit out at specific points like a computer program. If nothing else, you at least learn how to talk to people as in my (self practiced, no PUA routines or anything) experience, it really just boils down to vocal copypasta with anyone who aren't close friends or family, and even then half the convo is that anyway, even if your "routine" for the day is telling people about your thoughts on the latest episode of American Horror Story.

Sorry, I own the physical copies. I hate reading books off a 23" light bulb.

Is the law of conservation of matter always absolutely obeyed? Im reading about how energy and mass are 2 faces of the same coin, so whatever chemical process that gives off energy should lose mass, but this is never taught in school.

Social interaction is like breathing: you just do it.

>>24227

Useless answer.

>>24199

You must go outside to buy groceries. Try talking to the cashier or to the people stacking shelves. Treat it like practice.

With time it may feel natural and easy. Or it may still seem like a clunky process but at least you could learn how to carry on a conversation in a manner that appears to be natural to observers.

Good luck anon. The easiest convos to have is about inconsequential things like "what is the person's preferred cereal or how is the weather.

You can also go to a dead bar and try talking to the bar tender. Part of their job description should be listening to people and talking. But order a drink.

Good luck friend

>>24273

>Useless answer.

Not!

The point I was trying to make was: just like you don't have to stop and consciously decide to breathe and get hung-up or blocked by getting caught in a feedback loop of fretting about how and why to breathe, you just do it. If you stop to think, you've already failed.

Do what PUAs do: when you spot somebody, count to 3 in your head and just walk over and begin flapping your gums. Why 3? Any longer and you'll psyche yourself out of talking. If you make a fool of yourself? So what? It's like riding a bicycle for the first time: you're gonna fall, over and over and over, many times you'll be bleeding or you'll smash your skull on a rock. Whatever, get back on and try, try, try again.

Hell, you could try what I did and just tell them you're painfully shy and bad at talking to people. Seemed to work for this diagnosed assburger enough to be able to pass the "he's sociable enough" unspoken test of my current employer who made it clear only to those hired that they don't give a damn what you have on your resume, the interview was to gauge how well you socialized and such.

Ack, sorry again for double post, lousy fullchan errors.

>>23947

I think pleasure from prostate fondling is a myth.

It's meant to justify feminism and homosexuality.

What if the prostate was as sensitive as the stomach?

There wouldn't be any reason left to finger, fuck, or fingerfuck a man.

But as we need a reason to fuck men, we will find a theory with the air of scientificity.

Just be kind to men : don't fuck them.

>>24294

> they don't give a damn what you have on your resume

what field?

>3 second rule

(not him)

It's all well and good. I've tried it in all honesty. I've even preached it sometimes.

But "just don't think", while it works for some, doesn't work for others.

btw, this reminds me of Infinite Jest by DF Wallace. He has a nice way of jamming about the fact of overthinking.

He said at some point he (or a character) realized that his brain, that used to help by planning things in advance and abstracting relevant facts, became an actual enemy, like foreign matter. He realized that he would spend 99% of his time imagining the worst case scenario, to be ready for "everything". He has a nice way to describe how a brain, trying to protect, can become an instrument of torture. (I've had several nightmares last night, I could tell you about it)

My point is, I'm sure your intention is good, and it's great you managed to shut your brain and overgrew your fear. But "just don't think" always triggers me so much.

They did an experiment with rats and girl rats, to study their sexuality. Boy rat on one side, aroused girl rat on the other. In the middle, electrical obstacles. You can see that boy rat is willing to take a lot of shit (electrocution) to get the girl rat. But beyond some level of voltage / intensity, he just gives up. After several days of training, even if the electricity is gone, show him the horniest girl rat, boy rat just sulks and *thinks* (what if, what if, to be or not to be, I wish she could fart in my face, I want to see her with rat Jamal…)

This is called trauma.

And *not trying* has a purpose. Because sometimes, when you keep trying, it goes from bad to worse (negative reinforcement, see Rodger).

It's funny how I met people with social phobia, including a pretty girl, bad news is she fucked an investment banker, good news is how nice it felt when I heard this girl looking completely adjusted, confessing all the mantras she had to tell herself just to get by through the day. Things like "you don't have to be perfect, you're ok".

When you hate yourself, and have experienced too many rejections, the 3 second rule is just not enough.

One thing I manage to do on my good days is try to catch the eyes of a girl, aka eye-contact. In the best case scenario, it can motivate her to do the approach.

Also, I found that, better than prohibition ("don't think"), encouragement (coaching) could work better.

These days, I know that approaching a woman successfully is out of question (last time I've done it, it took me too long, she stared at me from head to toes, and didn't even answer, then started smiling to a guy who imitated my courage). I know the 1st step is to get hobbies. But I have no money. So the 1st step is to find a job. But I've sent so many letters with no replies, that I'm like the boy rat seeing the horny girl rat : sometimes I pass by window walls with dozens of Apple computers with giant screens, with men and women working (architects? PR ? VR ?), it just makes me sad.

>>24312

If it were a myth then why would nobody say so? -and support feminism and homosexuality how?

What if the prostate was as sensitive as the stomach?

U wot m8?

>>24313

>what field?

Cashier/cook in casino venue. I do basically what one would do at Burger King but get paid twice as much.

There were like 30 potentials and they hired about 5, somehow wanting to keep the guy whose resume looked like

> education: high school diploma, poor grades

> supermarket stock boy 2 months

> cashier 7 months

> meat/cheese cutter in deli 5 months

> 5 years NEET

> meat/cheese cutter in deli 3 months

etc. whereas they dropped multiple guys with credentials like college-certified chef, 10 years restaurant owner, and so on.

>>22919

For resumes I've listed myself as "crew" and then described in greater detail elsewhere.

>>23028

You might have better luck doing the transfer after the clay had been fired.

>>23847

Did you use the proper technique? I've heard you're supposed to do crunches while you have one in. Simulates the prostate and all.

>>24363

exercise, even jogging in place helps.

>>24335

Technique eh?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HpQv0cCySA4

Well no, I just sort of crouched in my bathtub. It's worth another shot though, I'll try and get creative.

>>24363

You don't worry about it; you let it happen.

Source:insomniac who couldn't sleep because he kept fretting and trying all sorts of stuff and drugs and alcohol until he just stopped with all the trying and conscious decision making and just let it happen. Also tried not to think so much before sleep.

I pretty much rely on sasayaki and mimikaki stuff. Give it a shot.

In few words what does it mean when currency rates increase or decrease? For example, if in the next year the euro increased 20% respect to dollars what would be the most likely cause and what'd it mean for both currencies? How is the rest of the world affected?

Despite making me think of boats and crap I think that might just be what I'll go with. I appreciate everyone's input though.

Would it be worse to not talk to anyone for a month or talk to someone I hate

How do I get a qt bf to homo with and be in a relationship with?

tfw no one in massachusetts. i got so close tonight too, but he never replied to me ;-;

>>24312

Even before I discovered I was bi, I would fondle my prostate during masturbation. It does give me alot of pleasure

>>24462

that's a hard one, but I'd have to say that talking to someone you hate is worse, because you always have your online friends, like us!

>>24465

How to fondle prostate? Maybe I'm not flexible enough but I can't seem to reach it with fingers and I'm not about to stick anything up my ass that was not specifically designed for that purpose.

Before I started becoming more aware of my ego, the idea of anal penetration or nipple play was something that pushed me away. There must be a program implemented in the subconscious of most of us that makes us repulsed by the idea.

I think this mechanism shouldn't be dismantled in minds of young people by outside influence. They should either come to this conclusion on their own when they're ready, or never at all.

Also, I suspect this mechanism has roots very deep. Even though I feel no shame experimenting with prostate massage, it could be that lower levels of my psyche don't like the idea. I think this way because my libido seems to shut down for a few weeks after I put something in my anus? Just in case I'm fucking up some deeper parts of me, I'm not going to keep experimenting. I'm only going to try this again after I learn to access my subconscious with proper mediation. Something that will probably take me years.

I constantly get frustrated with my mental state and hide away and want to die so I don't have to be ashamed and unable to accept things. Is there any way to tamper with my ego at least? Is there a board better for this sort of thing (yes, I know I need a therapist but I gotta take what I can get)?

>>24498

It sounds like you need some meds

>>24499

I most certainly don't. Nothing that exists anyway, I've been on all my options already and none of them can help a person's self-worth regardless.

>>24500

Maybe I'll try them. I'll take what I can get, if anyone could against all odds even just get me to believe in something (positive or negative) to at least let me have some grasp of things that would be enough to stay relatively sane.

Is there a good treatment for depression that doesn't involve talking about your feelings (something that wouldn't help me with my symptoms) or taking SSRIs? I've felt fatigued and unmotivated for years and depression is likely to blame (I read up on dysthymia years ago and that seemed to fit the mold), but I don't want to bother with a diagnosis unless I can get treated in a way that will actually help me without dealing with tons of symptoms.

>>24504

Thanks, I took a look and I'm sort of in the same boat as the guy in the first post. I don't really enjoy anything anymore and tend to not do much other than playing vidya games or reading when I'm from my part-time job. There are more constructive things than vidya games I could be working, but I can't get my motivation up to actually doing them. It doesn't help that whenever I go to sleep, I still wake up tired. I'll go through periods of serious depression every once in a while, but most of the time I'm more apathetic and in a vaguely bad mood.

This has been going on for me since I was in high school, and I don't know how much longer I can keep going on in this state. I just had some blood tests done last week to see if I had some kind of physical disorder or something that would bring on these symptoms, but I doubt they're going to find anything.

>>24403

I do this when I'm on a hill that has a stop sign

>roll up to hill with clutch pushed in, neutral, and braking

>if you need to, stop

>this is where speed comes in

>get off the brake

>push the gas pedal down and slowly release the clutch until you can feel the car stop moving backwards

>keep this going, or the engine dies

>get across when it's clear

I don't know if that helped, but it was worth a try.

Does anybody know the name of the CD that has animu VAs singing punk rock songs? That shit was hilarious.

>>24540

I had made a thread about my endless bitching that's gone now (probably for the better). I'm not going to lie and say I try but with my mind I don't want to (in addition to always being mentally exhausted). When you feel like you're unable to grab hold of anything and that your mind fails you as a tool to tackle (or even appreciate) the world there doesn't seem like a point. Nothing the world has to offer me feels like a good enough reward anyway. Sorry drunken cheerleader 2hu loli, I couldn't care less about being a cog especially.

I don't wanna bring my woes here again past my questions though. Maybe I'll one day feel like forming a checklist or whatever but not likely.

>>24502

Meditation.

is being boring the worst trait a person can have?

>>24641

Being a rapist is worse. Probably. No yeah, rape is pretty bad. Being smelly definitely though.

In all seriousness define boring even, you might be more interesting or likable than you think.

>>25084

It's best to open up to somebody. Don't be afraid.

Whoever you get, give them a chance. Their job description is to listen, understand and help you. So try not to worry too much. You should be able to tell them almost anything

>>25104

I'll admit my desire to post has gone down, especially since the front page started freezing.

>>24457

Yes it's possible.

Configuring the IPs on two different Ethernet ports is no problem, its quite easy on Windows and Linux to config the IPs. Whether it's two separate NIC cards or two ports on one card does not matter.

The hard part for getting two external IPs:

In order to have two different external IPs you would need two gateways (two routers on two different internet connections)

It would be expensive to get two separate connections to your house. Most likely they would have to be different types like cable and satellite or DSL and Cable or fiber.

>>25084

I went through these same thoughts not too long ago…

Definitely try going to a shrink if you never have, but….

Please please please make sure to get a therapist specialized in helping with your most severe issues! Don't go to a generic shrink!

I have had severe depression and mild autism forever and I went to a generic couple's therapist. Big mistake! When I told her how I felt she called an ambulance twice in one week! She told my family too and nothing is better now.

I moved and changed my phone number because everyone smothering me with phonecalls and visits wasn't allowing me to get anything done! I lost my job when word got around and had to move to a new area to stop being hounded by my family!

Just make sure to pick a shrink that is specialized in what you need!

>>25692
