If you want it.



If you have a serious issue in life you want somebody to offer advice on, I'll try my best.


I'm summoning theSRStag, the oldest of Miscers know that if you disrespect theSRStag you need to be negged.


I've done pretty well in life so far and may be able to offer decent input, or might not, but I'll give it a serious shot. What is it?


Edit: Looks like I'm actually offering my sincere input and advice to anyone who wants it. Good job to Misc for being mostly srs all the way through the current page 2.

Going to Miami on Wed for a festival... how many new sets of outfits should I buy for it?

Dammit I was hoping for something more serious lol, but, that's cool have fun Jaydawg. Two outfits. Bring your favorite, and buy two new ones, doubt you'll need more than three there.

I'm considering making a pretty major move. This would allow me to add a lot more leverage to my investments with minimal risk. This is essential to implementing my long-term strategy. The issue isn't so much with the investment itself it is with what is being sold to me not working in reality. I have done a lot of research into this and the process makes sense and I can point to a lot of examples of this working. The issue is the product is pretty complicated and a lot of people have been screwed over by this.

I am confident I know how I can prevent most pitfalls. However, I have already seen salespeople offer me quotes that are not in my best interest. The issue is even if I'm vigiliant I am not really going to know if I'm screwed for 3-4 years and by that time I will have lost a lot of money. How should I evaluate this when most people who could offer advice won't understand this at the level of detail I need?

I have fear of dying.

I don't know what's on the other side.

I would like to live forever.

Should I go to Costco today for shampoo/conditioner or nah?

So I went in to get my covid shot because of my job and all seemed pretty normal at first. The lady at the desk was very nice and the doctor was very friendly and professional. So I’m sitting in the vaccination room waiting, when the doctor to comes in. He was holding a single cup, then handed it to me and said “we have to do a couple tests really quick just to make sure you’re healthy enough for the shot. Just drop a fat load of cum into this little cup and we’ll be good to go.” I didn’t think much of it so I took the cup, cummed in it, then gave it back. But when the doctor turned around to walk out of the room, he made a very low effort attempt to hide the fact he was drinking my cum! He made a super loud slurping sounds and I could see he was blowing a bubble with it as he walked out of the room. I eventually got my vax but he didn’t even give me back my cum?? Now, following the shot, I can’t cum! Is this all normal? I’ve heard of doctors doing this with poop, but I don’t actually remember hearing about them using cum.

Ok, here you go. Ready?


I just found out last night my step-dad probably has prostate cancer, after beating leukemia over the last few years. My mom has an autoimmune disorder and not in good health. My ex mother-in-law is slowly deteriorating due to bone/bladder cancer. My sister has stage 4 breast cancer. We have a lot of very sick people in our family right now.

My oldest daughter is almost 18 with developmental delays, having a 9-10 year old cognitive function. Should I tell her her grandpa is sick again? I feel like I should, but I’m afraid it will push her over the edge.

She’s very sensitive and things like this, she dwells on since she’s not able to process them like a typical person. She ends up hyper focusing on things and it interferes when she should be focusing on things like school.

We just buried her other grandfather last year. He died December 27th and was buried on her birthday January 28th. Needless to say, the last year hasn’t been good for our family.

Do I tell her? Or not tell her?

I think about death everyday, and find it hard to care about anything as a result

Lol, did you even say anything? What's your question?

We might. I'm not sure how old you are, but there's a realistic chance that within 15-25 years give or take, we learn how to pause and reverse aging. We're already making huge strides in this field.

Either way, if you die and there's nothing, you won't be aware of it. So essentially, the only existence you'll be aware of is if there is something. I think there's a realistic, scientific chance that there is something after life.

Oof. Ouch. I'm really sorry to hear that. I'd love to offer advice but this is almost too serious for me to do so, I'd hate to accidentally sway somebody in the wrong direction. I lean slightly towards not telling her so she can focus on school, but do your best to have the conversation with her that bad things happen, you just have to learn to roll with them and appreciate life when we have it. Sorry for what you're going through.

I think there may be an actual purpose to life, if there is an afterlife. If there is an afterlife, which I think there may be, our purpose here is simply to enjoy life, and bonus points if we put some others in a position to enjoy theirs as well. Fulfill your purpose, enjoy your life. It's a party, it's temporary, but hey we're here now, and it's cool to be here.

How old are you? Most of the time, having low bodyfat (doesn't need to be single digit at all) and having some muscle will separate you. Just lift, eat well and you'll probably get where you want.

Thank you.

It’s definitely a doozy.
Despite all the challenges, staying positive with a smile. Somewhere out there, someone always has it worse.
Even after typing it all out, it’s a lot to process, even for me at time.

I’ll most likely stretch it out and pick a time to tell her when it’s not connected to dates associated with current issues.

How do I know or find the right time to settle down and put down roots somewhere? I'm 28 years old right now and I move around a lot for new jobs and opportunities so I haven't been staying in any city or area more than a few years at most and sometimes it's just a couple of months in one place. Every time I move I have to make new friends and new relationships which I find difficult to maintain until I eventually lose those connections and end up repeating the cycle.

Within a year or two, I'll be moving to another country, but I don't know if I'll even want to spend the rest of my life there. I've always wanted to have a family and raise kids. Problem is that I don't know how feasible that will be.

No girlfriend

I left corporate work in my field of study (chemistry) to join a small local company in a field I am skilled in and hobbied for life (IT, networking). I enjoy working for a small company, see the owner every day, personal connection, no corporate bs, but am not making close to my earning potential I could have in the lab. I've fallen victim to 'grass is greener' thoughts before, and have been thinking about leaving. Wat do?

I think given your age, now is the time to take that more seriously.


Bouncing around jobs (every 1-3 years) is a strong way to boost your income. Negotiate a higher income at each place, and that has probably helped your career, but you don't always need to do that. Additionally, a lot of jobs are work from home now, so even if you DO want to change jobs in 1-3 years, you can likely work remotely.

Working remotely doesn't mean less income. You can still make hundreds of thousands per year working from home in some industries. So the benefits of you moving around doesn't always need to be from moving around.

At this point, you probably have a sense of a place you'd like to live long term, a place you could call home. Aim for that area. As you go beyond 28, dating will become more difficult, simply because people begin settling down around then, and the "pool" of people will become smaller. You can date somebody 24 just fine now, but that will age with you. Girls around that age are starting to get serious about their future as well.

I'll tell you something about committing to one woman too. Once you do, your mind will naturally slow down considering "alternatives" and will naturally start putting more energy into making THAT relationship better.

Home is where you make it. I'd start making it now.

How do I develop my social skills? I've been in isolation studying how to make nuclear bombs and drone weapondry for too long that I've lost my social interaction skills.

That's a tough situation, it's all about how much you value your current work environment versus how much you value an extra $XX,XXX per year.


Personally, I like earning more in my career. I take spare money and invest it in index funds, and my net worth has began growing ridiculously fast. It's going to lead to an early retirement, financial freedom, money to do things I want like vacation, raise a family with relatively little financial stress, etc. It will allow me to help struggling people in the future, and more. I value that.


However... one of the big questions is HOW you would handle extra money. Would you simply buy a newer fancier car with it? Would you just buy a quad? See.. if you would blow most of your money, it may not improve your life enough to trade off a great work environment. If you're the type to have some fun with it but also grow your investments and invest for 10-20 years in the future, then the trade off may be worth considering. Do you know how to invest and all that? Would you?


The last thing I'll say is it's not always bad to switch jobs. If you left, you could tell your boss that you love this work environment, you really enjoy working with him, you simply want to increase your income for a family one day. He might leave the door open for you if you wanted to come back a year or two from them, just be honest and transparent with him. He also may offer to pay you more or promote you.

Ok the real last thing I'll say is that higher income doesn't always mean bad work environment. You could land a work from home role where you spend time how you want AND make a lot more, or you could simply land a good office job and earn more. Sometimes bouncing around isn't bad, if you handle it right.

Wtf, are you trolling? I was ready to answer a serious question but whats up with the comments at the end? Lol.

Lol I'm being dead serious. Been studying too much and neglecting my social life.

Is this a question? What is it?

how do i become an independent contractor

Alright well ignoring the concerning part of your last message, here's how I'd respond to the social life stuff.


First, social skills are like a muscle, they get better the more you work them. It's a legitimate thing you have to work at and can improve at. Covid set people back, a lot of people feel nervous socially, just remember that.

One of the best tricks I ever heard was to not say "no", always say yes when you get the opportunity to go out or see people. Invite people to things if you want, even new people. People love making new friends, even into adulthood. If they're too busy or you aren't their type (which will naturally be the case sometimes), it won't happen and that's ok, keep at it.


Ask questions about people, have a drink if you need to take the edge off, and realize you don't have to perform. Sometimes just being present is totally fine, you don't have to be the life of the party or even talk a lot. Just being there, seeming friendly, occasionally asking people how they've been or what they do is plenty fine.


I've also learned over time that working on yourself will make you more confident socially. So, putting effort into your career and advancing yourself professionally will help you feel OK being more social. Even weird things like learning to invest can help boost your own ego, which can help you socially. Find things you have in common with people you're near. Let me know if any of this was helpful.

Hell if I know. Though, I bet they're doing pretty good. I don't know the process, but I imagine you go to a trade school or get some sort of license/apprenticeship, and then start marketing yourself. They seem to be in demand, so may not be a bad idea.

Yea it was helpful bro. reps.

Silencespeaks, were you confirmed real around here? Lol I constantly see your name on threads but I don't usually click them, or if I do, I only skim the first few posts. You get way too much attention for me to feel like I need to chime in


Anyway, tfwnbf probably means that feeling when you have no bf.

Just settle the **** down is my advice. Stop being so picky. I'm guessing you're relatively in-shape, which means you could probably have your pick of 100 guys right now. Half of them may not interest you because they aren't physically good looking enough for you, or they don't have a career, etc, but many of them will have one of those things, possibly both.

Just go on dates and stop wondering "what if". That whole "what if", like "what if prince charming shows up 1 year after I settle down with XYZ" will only hurt you.




75% of the appeal of a partner is simply going through life with them. You know their stories, they know yours. You know their struggles, they know yours. You have inside jokes, you grow together, you mature together, you learn how to do things together, you fight and make up together.


It's less about finding some perfect chad, more about enjoying the journey with someone you love. The history with them will make you love them more. You don't need to search so hard.
