The gum space on the back right side of my mouth, like right behind the last tooth on the bottom right side is swollen and achy. Is this something I should go to the dentist for?
>>30254227Wisdom tooth coming in?
>>30254227Wisdom tooth probably, or a cavity.Get it checked out nevertheless
>>30254432You can get cavitys on your gums?
>>30254423Possibly. My top ones have come through but not my bottom ones.
>>30254448dunno not a dentistgo to a dentist
For over a decade there has been at least one TV in my house non-stop. My mom keeps the news on practically every hour of every day. Its always on MSNBC or CNN, and I can't fucking stand it anymore. Im starting to worry about my mom. She has no opinions of her own, and she thinks any member of the democrat party is infallible, and everything Joe Biden does is a heroic move bringing us closer to world peace. Its instilled her with so much hate, racism, and virtual signaling she does not even realize it.She can't handle any fact that's against their narrative, even when its explained in a sensible way, and it makes her upset because she knows shes wrong but ignores it anyways.Her heroes are people like Anderson Cooper, Joe and Kamala, Rachael Maddow, Lawrence O'Donnell, and that other MSNBC goon who looks like Stingy from Lazy Town. In my moms own words, she thinks they are bravest people on Earth for speaking out against Trump. Yesterday i lost my mind when she told some pajeet scammer (claiming to be Don Lemon) a ton of personal information over the course of several days.How do I snap her out of this hypnotism?
>>30253117Am Op. I want to say my mom doesnt actually believe that, but cannot admit to any fault of the administration. I am positive that her support for him is wavering to some degree, which is good, but she would never admit that he can do anything wrong. desu, its probably more like my mom has a problem where she cant admit she was wrong about something, in this case voting for Joe. That's just woman behavior though so nothing too unusual. For the current president, it might be more personal, since we have met Joe and Jill more than once in real life. We live in the same state.
>>30250734She uses the television to distract her mind as we use the internet. And boomers believe everything they watch on television, don't waste your time arguing about stupid politics with your mother and instead try to reduce the time she spends watching television or just talk about other things because old people won't change their mind.
>>30250734Listen, op, she's a dumbocrat. Kill her and eat her faceMAGA TRUMPWON TRUMPTRAIN
>>30250734She sounds intelligent and reasonable. The only thing of note here is YOUR irrational reaction. Why are you so angry?
>>30254270OP is an incel chud with no higher thinking. Biden is one of the greatest presidents of this century.
My penis is mutilated (circumcision) and masturbation feels awful to me, I barely feel any pleasure when I masturbate and I can't stimulate my penis for more than 10 seconds continuously without ejaculating prematurely, I only feel faint pleasure on the scar where my frenulum is supposed to be and only when I am about to ejaculate and then when I do ejaculate I'm left feeling frustrated about the entire experience. I've masturbated hundreds of times in my life and every time I masturbate I face the same problems. I've never had sex, and even if I could I would be reluctant to do so because sex wouldn't be pleasurable to me or the woman I have sex with. I want to kill myself for many, and my penis being mutilated is one of those reasons why I want to kill myself.
>>30251244stop jackin off dummy, you'll be fine. just don't circumcise your own sons.
>>30253545>you'll be fineI can't have sex, 2 or 3 strokes of penis-in-vagina sex and I ejaculate without wanting to all the while feeling little pleasure, and I've read online that sex with circumcised men is much less pleasurable to women, the foreskin generates a sliding motion during that is pleasirable to women, whereas circumcised penises can be irritating or even painful to women during sex. My sex life is ruined before it even started. >just don't circumcise your own sons.I swear I would never circumcise any children I have. I won't have any children anyway because I hate my life.
>>30253510I wonder whether my parents were in the room when it happened. It’s pretty pathetic either way. If they were in the room, they would have heard my shrieks and did nothing about it. If they weren’t there they were too cowardly to see what they were doing to their infant son.
>>30253662I have theory that a lot of marital discontent is caused by circumcision. The woman ends up resenting the man for not satisfying her and the man resents the woman because he’s also not satisfied.
>>30253746Shows the banality of evil
And i mean every. fucking. night. I wouldn't care but her voice is so fucking piercing and annoying, she talks for hours and hours and hours and I can hear it all through my door. When he's at class, she just sits in his room on the phone and waits for him. I hate her so fucking much. Should I talk to him about this? I don't want to be a dick but this is getting ridiculous
>>30254204Are you in a dorm? Can you talk to the RA?
>>30254213I'm in an apartment. I can talk to the office maybe. It's unofficial but it's still student housing, they just assigned this guy to me as a roommate and I didn't get to meet him first.
>>30254204invest in headphones or talk to him. do u have other roommates?
Fuck her
Tell her pay rent or GTFO
How does one stop being a loser? I've failed/suck at everything and have achieved nothing with my life. Anything I do, I get stuck and can't seem to progress. This occurs in video games, this occurs in my life. I just see people zooming by me in terms of life progression but I'm the same person I was like 10 years ago. People are able to get over their problems and as a result get more xp in life and level up their skill tree while I'm still doing the tutorial trying to figure out things.

Hello. 22 year old who may have a touch of 'tism here. I've read through the DMV booklet a ton of times and have taken DMV practice tests daily. I'm about to take the knowledge test to get my learner's permit. Last time I drove was sometime in 2019, but I only ever drove around a Costco parking lot. I'm taking steps to turn my life around after half-assing online college and neeting around for a few years. I've enrolled back into my local college for the following semester. How long would it take (realistically) for me to get my driver's license so I don't have to ride the bus like a goober? Class starts sometime towards the end of January. Back when I was actually trying to learn how to drive, watching videos on YouTube on driving tips helped. Please provide miscellaneous driving tips, instructional videos, and kind words of encouragement please. Please and thank you.>inb4 get off the road, jackass No thank you. I am certain I can drive. Ask me a question (about the rules of the road and road safety) if you are not convinced. Keep in mind that I've only learned what's in the booklet; the basic rules, so I still have more to learn. Please teach me sensei, onegaishimasu.
i agree just take the online test if you can and cheat. even if just as a backup to make sure you don't fail. that test really doesn't matter so long as you have an iq higher than 90. most of the questions are common sense in my experience. the road test is the only thing you really need to worry about but that varies a lot state to state so i don't know in your case
>>30252347Go cruising for a couple of late nights. Pick a location on each end of the main drag. Take a trip to the capital city on Sunday morning. You’re fine.
>>30252347You got a baptism that's awesome anon praise Jesus
>>30252347Operate on the assumption that every other driver on the road ias either a homocidal maniac or a certifiable idiot. Never assume reasonable behavior on their part
>>30254259I don't have to assume. Even though I was a beet, I wasn't a complete hiki, so I'd occasionally go on walks. At intersections I always see a few people on their phones. It makes me feel sad, considering they're putting other's lives and their own at risk. I'm also aware that some of my peers drive under the influence or recklessly. Most don't really pay right-of-way any mind, mostly when turning from the main principle streets into neighborhoods. It all makes me feel a little too uneasy to the point where I'd take routes that avoid intersections. Perhaps I am just overthinking and autism maxing. Maybe I should see a psychiatrist or something for some chill pills.>>30253652It's probably better if I drive during the day. Apparently sitting in front of a screen for extended periods of time daily is bad for your eyes or something. I can still see pretty well, but sources of light kind of look like blinding rays. It's barely noticeable during the day, but it's kind of a problem at night. I once mistook a skunk for a kot. I hope the solution is as simple as taking in the vitamin D or squintmaxxing. I'm a little put off by surgery. Maybe polarized glass can help. I'll wear the aerodynamic ones the chaps in NJROTC used to wear.

How can I become happy all the time without friends and without money and without leaving my room??
>>30251669No. Go outside and suffer and emerge like you're that nigga. We only live once and then we're fucking dead. Time only flies by when you're cooped up in your room.
>>30252721cope
>>30251669Learn to create your own happiness.
>>30252731WHY?
This is how I do it, go outside in nature look at the trees the bushes the flowers, really glance in them at their beauty think how lucky you are to be alive and to experience this let eutheria take over you, as if you are in some kind of movie, go to the beach even if the water is cold go deep inside and jump over the waves for hour or two have fun, then sleep on the beach for hour or two feel fulfilment, even inside the city sometimes there's a object or lighting which stands out let it fill you with joy remember everything is subjective you are not in computation. Just smile and have a good mindset do not compare try new things, go ice skating, try lifting, poetry, travel! the world is endless, and I am always most euthoric in short stays outside the country, that's how I look at it :)When you are in this mindset people are much warmer and happier to interact with you as well. Remember: smile and the whole world smiles with you, cry and you cry alone
My cousin is in prison and hates his life and wants to die but the prison won’t let him. He’s trying to refuse food any they are forcedfeeding him to keep him alive, how do we get the civil rights lawyers on this case.The guards are like dr. Evil
>>30250864If he wants to die that bad, tell him to get shanked.
>>30250864I suggest that you continue to post this every day, as you have been doing, in the delusion that it will accomplish anything.
I spend most of my day on discord, watching porn, or watching youtube shit. I'm in college right now. I don't go to lectures. I do assignments an hour before the deadline. I barely study for exams until the day of. I am on my last $10 dollars, unemployed. I am missing out on an insane amount of opportunities, and I'm too fuking old to be doing this. I'm mostly on discord because it's the only form of socialization I have. I don't like to admit it but I'm pathetic as hell, I want to date a girl I met on there (I know it's retarded). I'm stuck on youtube because I dunno, it's an addicting cycle and I enjoy procrastinating way too much. I'm just straight up addicted to porn. I need to turn my life around. Here's my current resolve, is this a reasonable method to start actually having a life?1.) ask the bitch out to get it over with, quit discord if she rejects.2.) stick to one porn slut starting now, then drop porn totally starting one week from now3.) quit youtube shorts cold turkey, download my music
>>30253256>>30253335i deserve no sympathy
>>30253184Yo what porn are you into they redid all the old anabolic scenes brah you seen those? Crazy shit
>>30253450No, bro, like realistically porn addiction is just a problem of the times and we will look back in horror at it. It really do be happening to a lot of dudes. The crazy part is that I am literally addicted to porn, but even I haven't actually bought pornography. I can only imagine how far gone those guys are. But there are literally millions of them in my country. Maybe the YouTube shorts is a bit embarrassing, but I swear to Christ they put crack in those things. Whoever optimizes the YouTube algorithm does a great job.
>>30253184You acknowledge what your issues are, which is more than many do.Now just go out and fix them
>>30253184Anon you already know what the issue is and how to fix it why are you asking for advice xD. Just take action.
How do I make friends? I have been completely socially isolated for about four years now, not even online friends. Where the hell do I even start?
>>30249722Damn sorry, how stupid of me to ask for advice on the advice board.
>>30249704The best option is at work, but be careful how you do it. Keep your boundaries.
>>30249704online, try doing something for a community of any media you like, like art for the game you enjoy playing
I have no idea where I can meet people and even if I did wtf is the point, I'm worthless anyways
>>30249704Join a club, join a team, join a church. Meet your neighbors, meet your workmates, meet you classmates. Do volunteer work. Go alone to places or events you like and chat with people there.
Its really all pointless huh. I would dive into hedonism but I barely even desire sex rn

Posted this on sci but got no responses. Ive always been interested in architecture and buildings but iv never studied too much physics. I have studied mechanics for maths which i quite liked and i like applied maths and maths in general, is this an appropriate degree given my interests? Just want to get a picture of what its like to be an engineering student.
>>30253932Fuck off schizo
>>30253909I think you'd do well in civil engineering if you like mechanics, though I'm pretty sure mechanical engineer is probably the best fit if just purely interested in idk vectors and dynamics stuff, I never took mechanical engineering so can't say for sure though.If civil, you start with taking statics (forces and analyzing beams and trusses) and dynamics (vectors and movement stuff) in the beginning so that's pretty close to mechanics I'm thinking. After that many classes are more specific statics.>Mechanics of materialsHow materials act when forces are applied to them (easy labs, creep, tension/compression, elastic and plastic zones modulus of elasticity, mohrs circle, moment of inertia).>Fluid mechanics and Hydraulic engineering Two classes that focus on flow, pressure etc (bernoulli's, headloss, pipe problems, flow problems).>GeotechnicalAbout forces of soil and how soil acts under pressure (settling, forces on retaining walls, how water affects the effective strength of soil, don't remember if labs are hear too, like sieve analysis, proctor and other stuff).>Structural analysisYou'll probably have to design and build a truss. Probably what you'd like, deflection, fixed end moments, frame and truss analysis considering member materials and areas and stuff etc, but also iirc goes heavily into code which simplifies things, wind loads on a building, snow loads, how its distributed.I guess reinforced concrete design, pavement design and other higher classes are somewhat related but really you're mostly going to be learning how to calculate things with codes. If you want to see what 4 years of engineering is preparing you for, try to find a copy of the Fundamentals of Engineering Practice test (FE exam) by NCEES. Its basically a capstone test that all engineering graduates have to take in order to work as engineers. You could probably solve a good chunk since math. (you're allowed to use the FE handbook when taking it which you can get off NCEES)
8 years in the arch industry here. bachelors degrees in civil eng and arch design. previous role BIM manager. currently taking a break / reconsidering my entire fucking life. first advice: don't do it. second advice: if you do it, make sure you're rich first cuz you ain't getting no money from this job and will live in poverty. last piece of advice: do something that makes money and if you REALLY love it, learn it on the side. I would suggest becoming a builder / general contractor. you learn a lot more.
>>30254383Not OP, why was it so bad? Are you a PE?
lately been feeling less and less romantically attracted to my partner. Partner and I have been dating for 3 years and suddenly I have been feeling less attracted to them, I do still love them but it doesn't feel quite the same? I am hoping this is just a phase due to poor mental health. Advice?
>>30252506Dating is the initial phase when you're getting to know someone. You can't date someone for 3 fucking years. You have been in a relationship for 3 years. You are now getting the 3 year itch, which is normal. Search for it, you'll find plenty of quality advice. Romantic feelings don't just continue indefinitely without effort. Having a romantic relationship is like having a full-time job.
hello, sorry i should correct something i didn't think much of initially writing this post. When I wrote Dating i did mean i've been in a relationship for 3 years. Also I am barely an adult no marriage is not happening soon. I am fully aware of what phases relationships go through and we are way past the lovey dovey phase and have been very casual yet ofcourse affectionate with each other.
>>30252506probably just the usual symptom of faggotry.
>>30252506just tell them how you feel and sort things out. me and my partner have been together for 3 years as well. I'm sorry anon. losing interest is a curse. but what's worse is stringing them along.
>>30252506It is normal to fall a little out of love for a while. There are almost predictable cycles of it in longterm relationships. You just hang in there until you realize you're falling back in love again.
how do I spend less time online?
>>30252850How do I spend less time shopping? In and out in six minutes.. Impressive. It is easier to spend more time doing something else, than it is to do less of a certain thing. But the math is the same.
>>30252850You need to find other things to do. It's quite simple.
