Yeah I thought that guy was funny a decade ago too. I was easier to entertain back then.

Dated references ftw

>>29780
yeah, before you spend a bunch of money on school, it may help to have some experience, just to know that it's something you'd even want to do. I worked part time doing electrical work for two years and then the past 6/7 months full time. I now know that I have no wish to be an electrician for a living. however, I'm pretty baller at bending conduit, so I always have something that I can fall back on.

>>29776
Not exactly sure what to tell ya OP since i just started this too. Been in a bad place for 6 months trying to find a job without success. Someone suggested picking up a trade, electrician looked the most appealing.

Googled my local union and found the site for my "(city) joint electrical apprenticeship website". Looked up how to apply, followed the steps, applied took the test, did an interview, and then they pointed me to the union hall, went there and signed up. About half a month later i got a call for an interview at an electrical company (not as an apprentice) just for regular construction worker stuff like sweeping material delivery and what not.

But my name is in the books and im number 3 on the list so next time a company comes by the apprenticeship hall and asks for a handful of apprentices i should get started then with like a dollar increase in wages. Then in january my electrician classes begin. It's something like a 5 year course until you finally can become a journeyman electrician.

Sounds like you are going the non union way, which may be better. The union takes a lot of money out of my check and the health insurance fucking sucks. I don't even get dental or vision. I mean they always SAY union is better but that's because they want your money and because unions were made for a reason, and that being to protect the workers but outside of politics that isn't really needed nowadays. They are always saying how non union companies suck and dont have you wear hard hats or do dangerous things but Idk if i believe that. maybe though

>>29818
well I'm considering both options, your tips did help definitely, but what would one do if they were going to go the non union way?

>>29818

>5 year course
>journeyman electrician

What the actual fuck?

>>29824
it isnt an every day thing, it's like every tues and thurs from what i heard so that stretches it out, and you're an apprentice until the 5th year when you become a journeyman. I think you can apply for your masters license right after you become a journeyman too, but don't quote me on that you may need to take another course or two.
>>29823
if your wanting to go non union i'd suggest finding someone who works for a non union electrical company and and talking to them. What >>29777 sounds viable too.

>Aren't investments like this dangerous to make?

Yes, investing in currency which has no real outlet can be more finicky than a currency like USD, etc. You can buy whatever you want with USD, but good luck (at this time) trying to buy anything with bitcoins. Or, for that matter, any online currency, like second life's.

>I can easily see bitcoins getting slapped down by dagubamint any time now.

Yes, but not the way you worded it. Where bitcoin's major outlets are for computing power (a good deal of bitcoin is reinvested into computers, which are bought with bitcoins) and illicit business, if guba decided to step in, it would cause a market fluctuation since bitcoins wouldn't have any use at that current time.

>Same with online banks with insane interest rates that don't let you see any physical evidence of money... What would happen if they just went belly up one day, with all your savings in them?

Oops.

Be careful how you invest your money. You have to constantly be aware of what's happening concerning the currency. USD could crash any day. CAD could crash any day. But, say yen stays fine while USD crashes, you could buy yen with USD while USD is relatively high and be much more wealthy than if you had kept your USD. And if USD comes back, you can sell your yen early and have a huge amount of USD.

Remember when bitcoin was becoming public? There were several people who invested a large amount of money (read: their savings) into bitcoin. Most of them bought rather early (read: 10/15usd) and if they were smart sold at peak (~30usd). But if they were dumb, they sold after peak (~6usd), losing 4-9usd per coin.

I hope this helps, I'll type more stuff/draw example pictures if you need something explained. Also, fuck proof reading, I hope this all makes sense

bank of america confirmed for shit tier

>empty bank account except for $6 because im broke college student
>stop using account for a couple weeks
>preapproved monthly donation of $10 taken out of account
>balance is about -4
>suddenly 80 dollars of fees out of nowhere
>have to pay nearly a hundred dollars just to close the account because i donated ten dollars

FUCK YOU FUCKING SCUM

seriously banks and republican politicians are whats wrong with america

>>29828

Why didn't you cancel the charity donation? If it was a direct debit, then the bank automatically takes it out, and will only cancel it on your request. This is generally in the T&Cs of most accounts

But it's not impossible to get money back from banks, they have a certain degree of leeway when dealing with you. I'd recommend that you phone them up and explain the situation, they may waive the fee or give you a partial refund. I did this with my bank (Bank of Scotland) when I accidently overdrew an old account, and they waived the fee. Banks may act as monoliths, but they employ people, and people can be reasoned with.

>>29828

>i didnt read the contract i signed that clearly says what you have to pay and when
>i wrote "fees out of nowhere" cause im too lazy to check the contract even afterwards, and i like to be dramatic
>its banks fault for not making sure they knew they were dealing with an idiot
>fuck bankers, they make you read shit

>>29834
Lolol, and add

>I can't manage my money
>I just suck it up and pay massive charges because I'm a bitch and don't even try to discuss it with them

to that list.

>>29833
The fees are only in there because enough people pay them without arguing. Most of the time if you tell them you won't/can't pay or you did something careless, they'll waive it just so they break even and keep a customer.

>>29768
None that I've heard of, but that shouldn't stop you from doing it.

Try couchsurfing, the hosts are usually willing to show you around.

occasionally

my uni has an exchange program with some japanese school and they offer students free dorm rooms and meals for a month as long as you hangout with your japanese roommate

im not sure there is any easy way to find this kind of stuff though, sorry

fingers crossed, OP, could use one myself (for research)

>I am not looking to forge them, but just watched a documentary on it and am really intrigued about the subject.

Seems legit.

this guy probably could have sold you something for that

IDK about Auzzieland but in America you still have to pay property taxes which makes it hard to live on your own with no source of income. To find land I would look on real esate sites and see what you can find. From my brief search it seems that 10k is very reasonable and you will only need a few acres to produce your own food. With 5 acres you would have more than enough land to feed yourself and even sell/trade with your "neighbors".

>>29794
Where do you get land for 10K in Australia?

>>29811
IIRC, isn't that desolate, snake filled, deserty, area in the middle pretty cheap/a death zone?

Any particular things I should read? Specifically I've had alot of trauma in my life and I'm going to try to move past it all and work out my problems this summer. Also some stuff about romance would be cool, I'm not too good at that stuff.

As a part of the to process to get over the trauma you could write down your thoughts, etc.

Also read and educate yourself. Find some things you get psyched about and learn about them. Use internet for inspiration but be careful not to get hooked.

And remember: create rather than consume

good luck bro

Read 'For whom the bell tolls' and cry manly tears

read Master and Margarita, its classy as fuck

Apply everywhere. Search for your teacher's email addresses or call your school (since they usually have people working in the office during break) and request teacher information. Assuming you're not underage and living in the USA, apply for FAFSA every year and see if you can get government grants. Don't stop applying. See if your school offers any scholarships. I entered college with one $16k scholarship and I'm in my senior year with over $30k in scholarships and $10k in grants. I didn't pay a penny last year and cancelled my loans.

>>29804
This shit called herpicin. They sell it at walmart or Meijer if your from my area. (MI) Keep that shit applied for like a day or two and shits gone like that

>>29805

Much appreciated
thanks

If you're getting a car, fuck the motorcycle. The increased mileage isn't enough to justify the 5k.

why would you spend 10k on a car?
calculate the cost of a car, gas, insurance and maintenance and compare it to the cost of taxi/car service.
spend it on something wiser

>>29724
That's how the banks make their money: high interest loans. The more you take out, the more you owe. Worse for you, better for them.

>>29746

True that. But I meant student loans, the low-interest ones that are automatic and backed by the government. I highly doubt that 18 y.o. señor OP could walk into a bank with no capital or collateral and just ask for a 10k personal loan. Even in the breezy days before the crash they would have liked to have seen him gainfully employed at very least.

It's really not that bad. It's not like I'm going to borrow then file bankruptcy. In all I should borrow 50k at the end of 4 years (including the 10k.) It's really not that big of a deal being that I'm going to pay it back. Plus, the school's job placement program will have me in a position making more in salary than I borrowed, and I'll have 10 years to pay it off. If I cant pay 50k back in 10 years, I won't be able to pay 40 back either at which point I should jump off a bridge with the burning thought "You Failed At Life."

I'll leave you with this. It really shouldn't matter how I spend my loan as long as the bank get theirs. I see what I'm doing as a means to live comfortable while in school. If I was one of those fucktards considering a degree that pays much lower or a school with out a job placement program that suck dick, then I wouldn't even be considering this. Thankfully, this is not the case.

Don't forget the indians

is it really called a hybrid animation?

just cut out and enlarge the specific parts or objects of the image, then paste them over the original image, and move them slightely to the left or right based on which eye your using. thats how you make a 3d image.

• Filter > Distorts > IWarp
  

screw around with that, then Animate.
the more frames you add, the smoother it'll look.
then save as GIF. if the background gets in the way, just cut the thing you're trying to animate out, make it a seperate layer, enlarge it and paste it over the original image as a set of forground layers.

Wait, GIMP can natively convert video clips to gifs now? Last time I tried that (years ago) the only way you could do that was with a bunch of wonky ass plugins. Might have to reinstall.

i know not of such function.
when i make gif of video clip i either take several screen shots every frame or so or i converrt to avi which can be openned as gif in some programs.
then i suppose you can go layer by layer and draw over screenshots as rotocsope
