If I were you, I wouldn't worry.

aclopolipse wasn't completely correct when he stated it was legal. The PROTECT Act of 2003 (assuming you're within the Unitied States) :
"Prohibits drawings, sculptures, and pictures of such drawings and sculptures depicting minors in actions or situations that meet the Miller test of being obscene, OR are engaged in sex acts that are deemed to meet the same obscene condition. The law does not explicitly state that images of fictional beings who appear to be under 18 engaged in sexual acts that are not deemed to be obscene are rendered illegal in and of their own condition (illustration of sex of fictional minors)....The PROTECT Act includes prohibitions against illustrations depicting child pornography, including computer-generated illustrations, also known as virtual child pornography."

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PROTECT_Act_of_2003

Long story short, it may or may not be illegal depending upon the specific game/anime/picture/ect.

You'd first have to be caught, which doesn't seem likely.

In my opinion (which has no legal standing or backing) you'd be okay. Assuming you got caught and they did a search of your internet history and computer and found no other images they'd have a hard time proving intent. Furthermore, any jury that involves people who have looked at porn (so basically every possible combination within the US) would understand your plea that it was a mistake that could potentially happen to anyone. You're over worrying about it.

Bump into her. Or find an excuse (perhaps school related) to talk about something. Introduce yourself as like "you know, i've known you for [amount of time] and I've never talked to you. I'm [name]." If she's not a bitch she'll politely introduce herself as well. In essence, just see her as a person, not a person on a pedestal.

I don't understand you. How do you like the girl before ever talking to her?

Ok, I've got a few
1. I suck with girls, and want to get a shy one that I like. I already put a note in her backpack telling her she's cute (which I'm sure FJ is sick of hearing about). How do I pull her aside and not make her uncomfortable?
1b. If yes, then what do?
1c. If no, what do?
2. How am I sure you're a woman? Tits or gtfo

Well, as a shy girl myself, I would rather if someone asked me to go out on our own first to see where it goes (like going to the cinema, etc), instead of going straight into the 'will you go out with me?' which would make me freeze on the spot. If you have been out alone with her then you could ask her to a particular place, more special than normal. Once you are out with her, whether it has happened before or not, you should tell her how you feel and see how she feels. You can always suggest that she can think about her answer before telling you, because if she doesn't like that way (hopefully not) then she can think of a way to tell you - this will calm the situation down and make it more relaxed. Your note idea was a very cute thing to do by the way, you seem like a sweet person and I'm sure she'd love to try with you if you asked her - just make sure not to ask any questions that put her on the spot, because she may not answer truthfully. If you ask her if she likes you then out of sheer panic she might say no, even if she does. I know it's a tough situation but just try your best to not put her under pressure and I'm sure you'll be fine. Remember, you'll never know unless you try!

Oh and, you can't be sure because you'll never see me but I'll be sure for the both of us. You don't have to believe me but I'll still give you advice so you may as well read it whether you think I'm really a girl or not. :)

Do's and Don't's of flirting

I'm not exactly an expert at flirting but I'll answer with what I have seen or would like to experience:
Dos:
-Compliment small things, to show you notice. e.g. 'Oh, your hair looks pretty today.'
-Sit a bit closer to her than you would if it was someone else.
-Point your body towards her so that she can see that even if you turn your head away from her, you're still going to turn back and continue talking to her - then it won't be as awkward if there are silences.
-Smile a lot.
-Make eye-contact - maybe hold your gaze for a bit longer than you would with someone else.
-Try to make her laugh, or make her just feel happy in general by making jokes and being in a happy mood around her - it should rub off on her if you're happy.
-Act like you care, even if sometime she's talking about doesn't particularly interest you - this 'boring' thing might be important to her.
-Send nice messages to her for her to wake up to or just even in general - this can be especially helpful if she seems a bit down in the dumps for some reason.

Don'ts:
-Don't overdo the compliments, as girls can get weird about them and try to deny them, which makes the situation uncomfortable.
-Don't sit too close and if she seems to be uncomfortable with you being close to her, give her the space she needs. (A little side note, a boy in my sixth form likes a friend of mine and he always follows her around and hugs her and gets close to her and it makes her completely uncomfortable, adding to the fact that she doesn't like him back, so if you want a better chance with a girl, don't continue to do things that seem to make her uncomfortable and don't crowd her all of the time).
-Don't constantly make jokes, you don't want to seem really desperate - try to add them in more subtly.

This is all I can think of because I've never really been flirted with, these tips are more from what I have seen happen to other people and how I've seen people react to different things, so hopefully these will help. :)

Erm... Not really, I suppose ahaha - I have a very touchy-feely male friend and he always touches people and although it can be quite annoying, it doesn't particularly bother me and I don't feel like shouting 'RAPE!' so it must be ok. As long as your friend is ok with it then I don't see why you can't do... that.

are girls typically willing to date outside of the group of people they typically hangout with

I would go out with someone outside of my friend group, definitely. I mean, I have a pretty big friend group (for example, most of us are going out for a meal tomorrow and we had to book a table for 20 people) so I have quite a lot of 'choice' (obviously, it's not a choice, but you get what I mean) but if I ended up speaking to someone in a lesson or started talking to someone randomly when I was out and I ended up attracted to them then I don't see a reason why I wouldn't go out with them if I got to know them - they'd probably end up in my friend group as well.

I obviously don't know every girl's opinion on this but I've never heard anyone say that they would specifically choose not to go out with someone simply because they weren't in their friend group. Hope this helped! :)

Same as last - sorry, I'm not ignoring you, I'll read this properly tomorrow and answer it as soon as possible. :)

You American?

Nope, English.

Oh I was gonna ask a question about pick up trucks but I don't believe you guys obsess over trucks like we do haha

Wait - what's your question about pickups?
I happen to be an Okie.

Just wondering what girls obsession is with guys who drive pickups.

I dunno if that's a thing where you live, but it is where I am and it's obnoxious.

I actually like pickup trucks more than I like guys who drive pickups. I'd get one if gas mileage wasn't a problem.
I love truck beds because they can be fun.
What state do you live in?

Missouri.
And yeah I totally understand the mileage issue, especially when gas is like $3.55 right now haha

I just hate it when some dude has an F-150 all chromed out, sitting 5 feet off the ground with a stack sticking out of the bed and steer horns on the grill and girls are like "OOoooh I love your big truck, so sexy!"

like gtfo with that.

Oh, no, those are weird. I like smaller trucks that look a bit older.
All I can tell you is that you live in the country, and girls are gonna like camo, trucks, and guns til the day they die there.
Chrome and decals look stupid as hell. Usually that shit is stick-on anyway. As a prank you could strip somebody's truck. That'd be hilarious.

Well I'm from St. Louis, south city to be specific, and right now I'm going to college in a town of about 100,000, so I'm not TOO country lol.

It's just funny to see girls I went to high school with posting pics on facebook of them in a camo hat and they're like "Country girl <3"
And those same girls are obsessed with guys who drive big trucks and I'm just so confused by it....I thought girls went for guys with nice and fast cars haha, not f-250's or dodge ram 2500's.

I live about 3mins away from OU campus, and girls still act like that. They'll post confederate flags and pink camo shit all over their wall, as well as trying to look badass with semi-automatic assault rifles.
But then there's the vegans who post stuff about meet your meat and others things to that degree. Living in a college town in the south is a funny thing, ain't it?

Lol it really is.
Maybe it has something to do with Mizzou moving to the SEC....I'm stumped nevertheless.

Maybe. I've lived here since 6th grade. The high school I went to was filled with not only hicks and rednecks, but pretentious, HIPSTER rednecks and hicks. Can you imagine?
Oh God, and don't get me started on these girls moving from 30 minutes outside of town and going "Look at all the city folk, hurrhurr!" and then turn around and talk about how much of a deadhead they are and are so cultured. It's like saying that you're atheist and believe in God at the same time.

Yeah, you're right, sorry I couldn't help with that. :)

Oh well.

I guess I could ask, if a guy is slightly older than you, does that fact alone make him more attractive?

Hmm, that's another hard question because I do find myself having 'crushes' on older men but I don't know whether it's the age thing or just the fact I find them attractive/think they're a nice person. (When I say older I mean like 10 years max older than me, unless they're a celebrity - e.g. Will Smith is amazingly attractive to me - not that I would ever act upon these 'crushes' because I think I'm too young to be going for a much older guy). I mean, I love the idea of student life, so I think I find boys in University attractive mainly because of their age and independence but it's not a solid thing I look for in a boy. Okay, so that was a really long way of saying that, basically, I don't really base who I like on age and I don't think I could ever go out with someone just because they are older than me - they'd need to be someone I liked as well. I do however know a couple of friends that find older men attractive just for that simple reason and have actually gone out with them because of their age - I guess it's just a personal preference.

how old are you before i ask this question...i don't want to be asking a 14 y/o what i'm curious about....

I'm 16, 17 soon.

alrighty nevermind then lol, can't be asking minors these kinds of questions

Oh well, sorry I can't help. :)

np

Well, it can be a sign that a girl likes you but if you were playing truth or dare then I'm not sure. I normally ask people 'Who do you like?' because it's the first question that comes to mind, but you never know, she might like you. What you need to do is look out for other signs that she might like you. For example, does she stare at you a lot? Does she sit with her legs pointer towards you a lot (so she can face you)? Does she ask questions like that often or was it just a one off thing? If she does show the signs of liking you then there's a good chance that her asking that question was a hint but if not then maybe it was just part of the game. Hopefully it works out whichever way you want it to but you should definitely keep an eye out for other signs because girls love to give hints instead of just coming out with what they want to say - as annoying as this is for boys because they never really get the hints, this is what we do and you're going to have to work with it (I know, girls eh? Pfft) unless you want to just go for it/ignore it, whichever way you want it to go. Hopefully this cleared things up a little bit but again, it's hard to tell in your particular situation, sorry.

If what you are saying is true then I think she likes you, if you like her, why don't you try and spend more time with her and see what it leads to, it would be a good opportunity and you should try and go for it if it's what you want . :)

Hmm, this is a hard one because it could be either one. The way to tell if a girl is flirting because it's in their nature is to look out to see how many people they flirt with. If it's a lot of people then she probably have no interest in being in a relationship with that person - if they only seem to flirt with one person, though, this could mean there is a serious interest going on. Some girls just act flirty without realising, some do it to take advantage and some genuinely have an interest so it's hard to tell sometimes, are they asking you to do a lot of favours as well as flirting? If they are then this could be them using the boy. Also, as well as only flirting with one person instead of many, if it's a regular occurrence then it may mean she is interested as well. Hope this helps, I know girls are confusing, I'm sorry.

a friend of mine is very flirty to everybody, even though she has a boyfriend and is absolutely happy with him

Well, if she's trying to make plans with you then go along with her and see how it goes, you'll never know unless you try! It sounds like she might like you so I would go out with her more and see where it goes. :)

oh absolutely.

1. Whenever she is walking alone, or if you want a immediate reaction, in front of a non-cockblock of a friend
2. Date first, ask to prom on the date.
3. If you simply ask in a nice way showing interest, and she is interested in you, you'll both be comfortable (though it seems like your not the best with girls so you'd be nervous)

where do you see her? in class, or something? if you do, try and pair up with the girl for any kind of projects you do in the class. i don't know, try to get closer somehow. if she is good in studies then ask her to help you in a certain lesson or learn a new forumla from her. and when you do sit beside her for longer and try to keep up a good conversation. don't talk about studies through all the time because that will waste the time. start knowing her. and then after that exchange numbers and boom.

Grizzly winter green.
I don't do it really as an addiction, just for fun sometimes as i like to keep my teeth and gums quite nice, but the cut doesn't affect you.

Yeah, I'm just doing it as a substitute because my girlfriend told me if i ever want to have sex again I have to quit smoking so...I guess it's a fair price to pay.
And thank you. A lot of people had mentioned grizzly winter green is good, thats what I just went and got. Got the long cut to start because its apparently easier to keep in.

yo man, i dont personnaly know much about the subject but from everyone i know that does know about this topic, with $1500 you could probably build the best gaming/animation computer ever

thanks

Build your own Pc, look if you invest the time to look for what you want out of it and all that then you have a wonderful PC at the specs that you want that can do what ever you built it for.

thanks

i think the computer should work well for animations if it's suited to gaming. don't buy alienware.
ask around on the gaming board

thanks

I don't know, I think it's because they're either entitled or lack confidence. I think it's pretty stupid to make a guy text you first, because it's just as important to make a guy feel wanted as it is to make a girl feel wanted.

Just like how the guy usually asks the girl out, the guy asks to marry, the guy brings home the higher income.

It's been going on for so long that when people do the opposite it's abnormal.

One of the great mysteries of life my friend, I dont think anyone truly knows why they do that

I don't think anyone else could have said it any better.

EMPA?

Its basically like a practical we have to do and answer questions around that practical and involves some statistics -___-

Ah shame, back in my A Level days I done A2 AQA, but can't remember doing any practical. What's the practical on, do you know?

Task 2 questions are related to standard error and 95% confidence limit, stating the null hypothesis, what statistic test and why and interpretting the results

Well I've heard its on photosynthesis, placing a plant in a boiling tube with sodium carbonate and some water i think, then placing 15cm away from a light source behind a water bath and counting bubbles.... Then in task 2 its the same thing but using a clear water bath and a green water bath, I've been told there will be questions on like:
1. What gas is most abundant
2. Why does counting bubbles determine rate of photosynthesis
3. How does respiration affect results
4. Purpose of waterbath
5. 3 variables and purpose + confounding variable
6. If you dont control the variables how do they affect photosynthesis
Thats all just Task 1 questions, friend on mine got the questions from someone he knows who done it

Sounds more difficult than mine. I done the ISA, had to exercise for 5 minutes in different ways to determine how vigorous exercise changes your heart and breathing rate.

I take it you know about the light-dependent and the light-independent stages?

And statistics is pretty easy once you get the hang of it.

Yeah I know of both stages and yeah its basicallt an ISA but called an EMPA now. Im guessing all the theory will come in task 3 but I need to learn standard error and 95% confidence limit properly, dont know a single bit of statistics. Just go over the questions my mate sent me and try work out answers and get a hang of what will come up tomorrow and try be ready for it I guess, I'll ask another one of my mates properly what comes up and hopefully be ready for it. Thanks for trying to help anyway :) heres a few thumbs

What exactly about statistics is confusing?

And have some thumbs back...

Well never really paid attention tbh lol but I went over it and got the questions and worked out the answers before the practical and all in all i think it went pretty well. I went over standard error and 95% confidence limit and pretty much learned it in 10 minutes, wasnt as hard as I thought :)

Awh that's awesome! Glad to hear bro!

I'm getting strong signals that you're both girls. Amirite?

It's just a kiss...

I hate when this happens bro.
This is when you must break a girl.
Not break up, or break her heart, but make her want to do stuff that's not normal for them.
Get her to try it, and just have a small peck. Take it slow. Get her used to kissing and hugging and cuddling, then vrooom right into anything you want because she'll want it more and more.

She's 16. Nuff said.

She's a fucking weirdo. You're made for eachother.

She put a bow on my hair in the form of a horn and screamed at people
"LOOK AT MY MAGESTIC UNICORN" ... You don't know how right you are!

She sounds like one of those faggots that wear invader zim shirts and scream "rawr means i luv u in dinosaur"

She hates invader zim ... Loves pokemon and minecraft though

Get a real woman.

And by that you mean? A vagina thing that you would just use for sandwiches

Afraid to kiss you?
Still cares about pokemon?
Plays minecraft?
She put a bow on your hair in the form of a horn and screamed at people
"LOOK AT MY MAGESTIC UNICORN"?

Please, you are going to regret dating such an immature little girl and you're wasting your time asking for advice on something that will probably be over in 2 months.

Were 16. If i were out looking for your definition of a woman, i would have a job, a car... Things to bring attention to me and wait in hopes that some person will decide to "love me" and take all of what i am and break it... If you want to be the biggest troll in history, go right ahead, this is the last post i make in this thread.

So you're gonna tell her I love you just because you want her to kiss you?
I wouldn't want to kiss you either because you're a liar and probably 13.

With a name like faggol i wouldn't be doubting you're thirteen ... And no, i dont want her to just kiss me ... She'll probably feel like talking a lot more

I wouldn't start criticising usernames there, myhumps

She'll probably feel like talking a lot more? Wtf does that mean.

www.youtube.com/watch?v=iEe_eraFWWs that's where i got it from ... my old account got deleted u.u

16 ... teenage romance thing going on

Before we started going out me and my girlfriend (then only friends) found a spot and was just standing there tbh waiting for each other to make the first move, me not wanting to incase she was like wtf?! Eventually she made the first move, what im trying to say is just go for it, make contact with your lips but tell her to relax and just go with it before you do

I've tried, she just moves her head and gets this panicky look in her eyes

How long have you been going out? And all she says about it is that she's scared?

Like about a month and a half, but i known her for a year. And yeah she says she scared about something, but she wants to get over it

Chat to her about it properly and privately, ask her why she's scared to kiss and reassure her that you can tell her anything with complete trust and that you just want to know what the problems are so you can try and fix them, usually works with my girl when she keeps something from me, (its blowjobs.... Still working on getting one) Make sure you chew a gum beforehand, kissing with bad breath isnt pleasant, and also try having a little cute moment with her and dont move in too soon for a kiss, wait till it goes quiet and then move in for it. Also make sure you're alone and no one is around, some girls dont like kissing in public!!

Ok that last thing you said probably makes more sense than anything. I always try after school, when all the straglers are around so maybe it's that.. Thanks for the help anyway ... good luck with that blowjob

lol yeah tryna fit all the information in, might of got confusing :/ and yeah thanks, goodluck to you too

Little teen dumbass proud to report in... ur advice worked like a charm... thanks man

hahaha what was the problem then? and how'd it go? and good to know

Went good, cant get over it tho, but who cares ... and i tried it when there was no one around and it worked

Just like my girl, shy around people but glad to know I helped :)

level 0 account
yeah
0/10.

wait to be older. if you want a baby that badly then pet a fucking cat.

Any loss of sleep is reallly bad for you. A few hours of sleep lost over a few days fucks your immune system up and then you're more prone to sicknesses. Also, your body will get used to that timing of sleep, and you'd constantly decrease your sleep just to FEEL rested.

Kind of, after a while of slight sleep deprivation it starts to take a toll on your body.

Try getting to bed a little earlier, even if it's just 30 minutes. The reason you're feeling well rested is because it takes about 6 hours for your body to start the REM sleep cycle, so when you wake up before this is feels like you've gotten a full night's sleep. When you sleep for 7-8 hours--which is recommended sleep for an adult--you're interrupting the REM sleep which makes you feel drowsy and like you want to go back to bed.

fuck i need to sleep more than 6 hours a night.

QUIT STALKING ME. THAT'S MY JOB.

just kidding i miss you, dude

just goin through all interesting boards again.
so bored...

Hey there,

Firstly, how long have you known her? Just making sure you haven't been enveloped into the friendzone. Do you know why she's not ready for a boyfriend for about a year? If not, I would suggest asking her in a polite/inquisitive way. Your last statement 'she told me she would love to date me' seems like a bittersweet sign, she could either be hinting at you, or providing evidence that you're in the friendzone.

I've known her for almost 4 years, but this all started a few months back

"not ready for a year" - *cough* bullshit *cough*

be confident, ask her out, don't do it over facebook or on the phone tho.

I have - and that's what she said. Not ready yet.

what's a hackivist?

Someone who hacks for something they believe in. For example, hacking the westboro church website and filling it with gay porn.

i would think that being sad together is at least better than being sad alone

and if you're not with her, who feel alone while not having somebody to talk to
