One of my best friends grew up in a (Provisional) IRA home. The "an" can kinda be silent. They often call it "the 'RA" (pronounced like the Egyptian god), saying things like "up the 'Ra". Or they call it Oglaigh na Eireann (the Gaelic name).

Irish Republican politics can be extremely confusing, especially if you take into account the various splits (original IRA, Official IRA, Provisional IRA, Irish National Liberation Army, Continuity IRA, Real IRA, and some small street gangs that use the "IRA" moniker).

What a pertinent answer. The new /ask/ is on its A game.

Here you go.

How about a length min/max, and essay formatting? Just look up standard essay requirements, and let people go from there.

From what I've seen there isn't any. You could flip through a copy of Writer's Market to see how other journals set their submission policies, but for the most part it seems quality control is comprised of the editors just making sure they don't get sloppy/desperate.

Out of curiosity, what's the journal? I'm amazed that anybody's able to publish any kind of regular literary magazine at all, if I were somehow forced into the industry I'd get away with a couple issues a century, maybe.

The April Reader. I put literary journal in quotes because it isn't something I (or any of the other editors) take very seriously. While we do try to put forth a somewhat professional presentation, we mostly do it for the fun, as well as the pleasure of being exposed to a variety of different writing styles and backrounds.

Whenever I see a pregnant girl, I always imagine the guy she is with plowing her and jizzing in her. Then I usually either get a semi or feel really sad.

Hmmm...it's a tie between green tea and water, but green tea speeds up your metabolism which would make you eat more of the one food you're doomed to eat for the rest of your life...so I guess I'll go with water.

Food-wise? Ooof...I guess veggie wraps with cheddar and hummus.

I'm overthinking this.

Lets just say that we are healthy off this stuff forever then?

That's hardly a trick. It's more of a cliche.

I wrote a whole big narrative about taking time to develop your sense of self and really learn who you are, but then I remembered that all the kids who were doing that in high school were just weird fucks. That's more of a mid-twenties and single journey (sidenote: don't marry young; as a male there is no incentive or benefit to do so).

I'm instead going to recommend a book to you. The book is "How to Win Friends and Influence People." It's an older book, but the principles are solid. It will essentially tell you how to become a salesman. To become a salesman, you must know how to talk to people, and how to get them talking to you. I'm not saying it will get you a girlfriend--the book itself admits early on that its methods are not geared toward building substantive relationships--but it will illustrate techniques for breaking the ice and making conversation easier.

Also, just read books in general. Become knowledgeable. Keep up with current events, pick a sport and learn the ins and outs (that's for talking to dudes), learn some skills. In a nutshell, broaden your horizons. The more you know, the more likely you are to have knowledge of a mutually interesting topic when you approach a girl. Then give your balls a tug, waltz up to this bitch, prepare to utilize your friend-winning techniques and your vast knowledge, and give her your sweetest icebreaker. I can't help you there; that's going to depend on your personality.

Damn. If your defense holds she will probably be charged. Best of luck to to you and talk with your defense to try to get that info admitted. Problem is that if these people don't consent to have their testimony in court as public evidence then the files might not be admissible.

Forget law. Punch in face and warning to stay away? Wouldn't suggest this action but it is a common choice

> I'm still awaiting word on my cases. I want to move out of state but that will look like I'm running.

From who? From the law? Wait until the case is decided.

From her? Why do you give a shit what she thinks you're doing? If you are truly that concerned about her doing harm to you, then for your own psychological health, move far, far away. Maybe it's time for a change anyway. Leave everything you know behind, get in touch with yourself kind of experience.

Perhaps this will help, are you looking for a job too?

Yes

It's actually not that stupid of a question, when people say they are "in debt" they usually don't count student loan debt or car debt or mortgage debt. People tend to see those things more as paying something off over time (though it's not).

So yeah, when someone says "I'm 20k in debt" they are usually referring to credit card debt or other personal loan debts from loan sharks or pawn shops or some shit. But usually credit card. When you actually sit back and think about how much debt most people ACTUALLY have, it can make your head spin a bit.

>when people say they are "in debt" they usually don't count student loan debt or car debt or mortgage debt.
Specifically, people mean they have consumer debt. As in the debt is for useless shit they consumer as opposed to actual assets like a car or house. But other than the semantics yeah consumer debt tends to be credit cards or personal loans.

Probably cry for a bit in disbelief that I was caught for the most likely crime. Then I would keep to myself and try to not get stabbed. I have no idea.

I'd kick somebody's ass the first day... or become somebody's bitch.

>>1703
>Probably cry for a bit in disbelief that I was caught for the most likely crime.

And what crime would that be?

For the first 20 days I did pushups every day and I told myself I wouldn't talk to myself at all.

For the next 20 days I quit working out, sometimes I quit eating, and sometimes I talked to myself.

For the next... I don't remember I quit working out, I quit eating, and I talked to myself. A lot.

But whatever happened, I was angry. Just plain angry.

I know the feeling you're describing.
My suggestion is that you try getting into meditation. Give it an earnest attempt and don't get discouraged by the initial frustration that tends to surface when you start it (I had been going on and off practicing it for years since it was so hard to make it a daily habit, but now when i've managed to keep at it have I noticed that it really fucking does help with my mentality).

I'm not as prone to anger or succumbing to other negative emotions anymore ( the negative impulses still occur but they are MUCH easier to handle and observe objectively).

I really recommend it man.
Combine it with a bit of yoga and you'll be a happy camper.

Six years. You want us to describe six years of almost perpetual change to you in a nifty post.

it's slower and more superior than ever

I left when they started soliciting reddit for users. Seems to be a pretty desolate circlejerk between the remaining mods and adminship.

Uh... slow and consistent degradation due to aging user-base from the old days with low replacement, plus some server ownership issues.

Is it sharp pain?

>>1724
Not sure what a sharp pain means. I don't think so?

Sharp pain is like what you feel when you run into something: Immediate, acute, and able to be traced to a specific location or locations. Dull pain is like the stomachache when you haven't eaten in a while: it's soreness, like your toe an hour after you stub it, a hurt that comes from an area more generally.

Define your chest—up high, near your heart and lungs, or lower, near the bottom of your ribcage?

How's your eating and sleeping habits? Any other changes that you've noticed?

>>1725
Anon are you Ok ?

I watch porn AND I masturbate. In fact I have, on occasion, indulged in both at the same time.

I don't see there's anything to be bothered about by it. It's completely natural. All animals that can do it; they do it. Maybe not everyone watches porn, but everyone masturbates and anyone that says different is lying.

I watch pornography and masturbate. Sometimes I feel bad because it's mostly Asian women, but not so much these days because I realized that it's normal.

I used to feel really shit, especially when I would masturbate to transsexuals.

>>1691
But you know, we’re not that different, you and I. We both have urges.

I think that would just result in you being made in to another sort of penetration tester during your 3-5 stretch for assault or theft.

I tried to start a Journal Club and a Psychology Clinic though my university. Turned out lots of people were interested in helping me make the vision, but nobody else would lead the charge. I just wanted to gift the idea to other people. *sigh*, guess neither will be realised. I wish there was a place for me to just dump my ideas rather than implementing them. Like an image board. Is that appropriate?

>Is that appropriate?
No because that's just a way to be lazy instead of following through on your ideas.

Whenever I hear this "I just want to be the idea guy and let someone else lead the charge!" thing from someone, it always just sounds like fear to me. If it doesn't work, it's not your fault, because you're just the idea generator, you have nothing to do with the execution. It also doesn't require any real work or effort. It's an awful, passive way to feel smart while protecting your fragile ego from even the vaguest possibility of failure.

Would you rather accomplish something and build something real, or trick yourself into feeling like you're smart by coming up with ideas and then doing nothing with them?

Be a person who shuts the fuck up and makes things happen instead of the guy who is all talk about his amazing ideas and then does absolutely fuck all with them and goes nowhere.

>>1716
I feel like this is the advice I've been waiting for all my laugh.

I'd rather not bookmark this 99chan, which will probably get lost in some server problem in a couple of months, so do you know anywhere else on the net where what yu have said is paraphrased?

cheers

Would this work for you?

Sometimes I just talk shit to people I'm close to. It's partly sarcasm, but after a while the line gets blurred. It's something I hate about myself. I've lost all my online friends this way, but at least I still have a few good real life friends, since it's easier to tell.

Just tell her the way she has been acting hurts your feelings, and that you know it isn't intentional. Even if it is intentional she will feel shame.

Unless you are already dead set on cutting ties op.

Wow, my writing style suggests I was still a bit drunk when I wrote this...

Don't take the pill if you don't know what it is.

I can't tell you if you should play around with that couple or not. Going to them for sex until you can "get" a woman doesn't sound like the healthiest thing though. If you want to do some experimenting and see how you feel the second time around, by all means do it, there's nothing wrong with experimenting with your sexuality. But you shouldn't be going because you can't get anything better, you should be going because you actively want to or you're curious.

So instead of asking an imageboard what you think you should do, I think you should look inside yourself and see what your motivations, curiosities, and desires are.
