I'm looking to purchase a new laptop next week. While I have done some research I would like to get a consensus from you on what brands are great versus what are awful.

I was hoping that people here could tell me their experiences with certain brands especially if they bought something new recently for university or personal use.

My budget is $800 or less and I'm not looking to play games on it. Mainly interested in writing documents and net surfing. Please let me know minimum hard drive and RAM.

Honestly, you can get a killer laptop for way less than $800 for what you're looking for. Go to Best Buy, chat with the employees. I'm sure you'll get a great machine for no more than $300.

The question entered my mind when an ignorant individual said on Yahoo that they thought that a woman could get pregnant from a swimming pool if semen was in the water. I specifically was of the thought that the a woman could use the cheapest and most prevalent form of birth control if after unprotected intercourse she sat herself down in a bathtub and directed the spray up into her vagina. The spray that I'm talking 'bout is that of a water nozzle that would spray water at fairly high pressure. If water does in fact kill semen then there would be no need for all these shenanigans re: abortion. Of course there would still be the problem of STDs.

A swimming pool and a bathtub are two different things. Pools are full of chlorine which I'm sure isn't happy to semen. Water from a spout in a tub is just water. Most of the time, girls who do that are looking for pleasure. So no, it doesn't die with contact to water.

Hello Advicenators: I am have been somewhat confused about WiFi in my house. It does not seem like I am getting anything good from Comcast. We have many gadgets in the house that run on WiFi and there never seems to be enough WiFi signal for everyone. Plus I can not receive a good signal in my garage. I need more power from WiFi. Would you know of a reasonable, reliable WiFi service provider that can give me some good WiFi? I have even purchased a few extenders and still not good enough.

You probably need a better wireless router. We have a three story house (well, router is in basement and it's a two story house) and had to buy one specifically meant for it.

Here's my email address. It's new because outlook won't let me into my other accounts without information sent to an email address that I don't even have, and I can't access my yahoo account because they keep changing my password and it has to be sent to my other email address which I can log into but again they won't let me access my mail or do anything so I had to make a brand new one. So this is the new one jessread@yahoo.com Jess because my name is Jessica but I prefer my middle name Anne and I promise I'm not going to shove my beliefs or anything down your throat I respect everyone's beliefs because I believe in free will and the right and need to think for yourself as appose to using god as or "the devil" as an excuse not to ask questions so I'll only bring it up if you ask me about it and no I don't believe in hell nor do I think you're going there so just letting you know I'm very open and completely non judgmental. My problem with my family is they just don't respect my beliefs or boundaries, and it just gets to much sometimes. if you decide to email me I'll send you my FB page and cell # because I can't post it on here. Is that cool?

I don't know how to go about this any other way, but that email isn't working. I've tried 3 times and it keeps saying that it doesn't exist. If you want to delete that and make a new one and inbox me that's fine, but I don't know what else to do until then.

I can also delete this once you respond to me again.

1. The science club for boys in some town does robotics and engineering, girls science club in the town doesn't
2. In my school while boys do a wrestling unit us girls do a yoga unit
3. Dad's let their sons date whenever whoever but with girls,“you can't date anybody!!!!"
4. I've been in girls scouts, the only thing we really do is crafts and sell cookies, we hike once a year; my friend's brother is in boy scouts, they camp for weeks at a time, go places, etc
5. Their is no girl's football team
6. No world cup for women's soccer, and if their is it's not as popular and celebrated.
In other countries it's even worse. I'm gonna try and avoid violent ones:
1. In Arabiah women can't drive
2. In LOTS of places women can't be educated/ vote
3. There is a charity in Afghanistan where they have children perform acts an play games away from their war infested home,in some areas girls can't join
4. India and the whole child marriage thing
5. Men kidnap girls and have men pay to “do" them
And much more. Why?

Believe me, if you think girls have it bad in 2014, imagine the 50's. There wouldn't have been a girl's science club. There wasn't yoga class, there was prepping girls to be housewives. Dads are protective of their little girls. There are a lot of creepy guys out there. They don't want their little girl hurt. Boys don't have that same risk. Boy scouts is different, and I have my problems with them. It's a bunch of outdated beliefs and if girls weren't into crafts and selling cookies, there would be different things. You should be happy that the Girl Scouts are accepting of people, unlike the Boy Scouts. Really, there isn't a demand for a girl's football team, don't be silly.

Very popular actually, you just don't pay attention.

Don't even get into the Middle East's beliefs. It's a bunch of religious garbage that probably doesn't affect you.

India's arranged marriage is a long tradition. It's the same for boys too. Don't try and play victim there.

The last one is just fucked up people. They also kidnap boys and men pay to do them.

So, despite what you seem to think, women in America have it way better off than they did 60 years ago and women in other parts of the world are just, well, there isn't anything you can do. That's their culture and we can't change it.

21/f, 27/m

We've been dating for about 6 months but we don't see each other as often. I only see him once a week, there are four weeks within a month, so that means I've seen him at least 24 times (which is not a lot in my opinion).

I asked him last night if he feels like we've been improving and he told me that he's worried about my emotional well-being. I didn't understand at first but eventually he just told me that he's worried about my emotional well-being, that was the main thing he was worried about being with me.

I have depression and anxiety disorder. I didn't want to take medication for it, I tried going all natural (working out, doing things I feel like I can enjoy) to release the chemicals in my brain. I'm usually not feeling down, but I won't say there aren't times where I fall back a few steps or I feel really depressed--but I try my best to feel better afterward.

The second thing he said was that he doesn't like the awkwardness. He doesn't like how awkward and uncomfortable I am around big crowds--to the point where he doesn't bring me around his friends. He told me that wasn't news for him since I told him months ago, I'm very conservative and introverted. I can't meet a lot of people at the same time, I'd rather meet a few friends at a time instead of all at once because it's overwhelming. He told me that he just won't bring me around his friends. I don't think that's a very good solution to this.

He said he's sure there are more things that bothered him, but he doesn't have a list. I told him that I wish he told me sooner instead of dragging it out. I told him that I think we should really talk about these things because if we can't find a solution or communicate about these things, there's no point in continuing on seeing each other. He didn't respond to me when I said that.

For a while, I felt like he was saying that he just doesn't like me. I'm naturally awkward and I have depression and anxiety. It made me wonder why is he with me then, why does he continue to see me? I don't know what to do about the friend thing or the "awkwardness," I don't know what to say or how to even start the conversation to get things resolved.

Dump his ass. You see him once a week and he doesn't even know if he really likes you because of who you are? Fuck that shit. My girlfriend has similar problems and I love every part of her. Don't want to go into a crowd? Let's watch a movie at home. Having an anxiety attack? I hold her until it's over. She's feeling depressed? I act like a goofball until I see a smile.

You are you, and you cannot change that. If a guy cannot see that, he's not worth a second of your time. You need to find yourself someone who will love you for who you are.

You are.....well, I don't know your name, but be proud of yourself and the fact that you're trying to help yourself. Forget this guy, let him go find some outgoing slut who seems to better suit his needs.

Well, I look at my life and I have being making some progress but I have hit a few road blocks. I am a adult trying to grow but I keep running into a wall. I am currently a student at a community college and my biggest concern right now as far as my career goes is getting a job and attending the right college. I was so optimistic I would get a job until I received 3 rejection. I was so optimistic that I would go to a particular university but my expectations were met. So now I am disappointed and lost. I feel like now what, I thought I was at the turning point in my left but it looks like I made the wrong turn. I was not prepared to get 3 rejections from a job and I was not prepared to be disappointed with the school I want to attend. How can I move forward because right now I am stuck. I thought I knew things were gonna change for me.

Three rejections from jobs? There are people who wish they only had three rejections from jobs. You say you are an adult trying to grow, well, welcome to being an adult. Things don't always go your way. You keep applying to jobs, you try for other universities.

Not to sound like a dick, but you're whining like a child about trying to be an adult. So at this point, you either keep trying and aim to succeed, or you whine like a child and get nowhere. It's up to you.

I'm 15/f. Last night for Halloween I went to a small party with my friends and s bunch of guys and even people I didnt know. I don't remember a lot but I had my friend who was sober tell me what happened. I binge drank the whole freaking night and got drunk within the first hour of the party because I never paced myself. I kept wanting more alcohol but people hid it from me. At one point during the party I tripped on something and fell backwards into a wooden chair and almost knocked myself out. After that I completely broke and had a mental breakdown and anxiety attack. I have anxiety and I self harm along with many disorders. So some more sober people took me away from the group and I kept saying 'give me a knife, I need to cut'. And so those people know about that now and I'm so mad at myself. Also, I got up on a trampoline and did 2 backflips perfectly and landed them. Um she also told me that this guy who've I've been texting for so long and we flirt and I'm not really sure how I feel about him but we were attached all night. Like we were dancing really close and then he took care of me when I had to pee or something. But he was still high from weed and so we would sit on a comfy bench and I put my legs on his knees and we had our arms completely just around each other. I know this because my friend took photos as proof. I think I might've kissed him on the cheek at this point but I don't know. Also we decided to move the party into this barn thing because it was so cold and I had to be carried in because I could barely walk. Um then that guy and I were almost passed out on top of this picnic table and he sat up and pulled me into his lap and I was pretty much out but I tried to stay awake. My friend said that his hands were all up my backside and my shirt and he kept leaning down to whisper things to me and In the photos it looks like he's kissing my neck and then it looks like he just kissed me on the mouth. I kinda like this guy before I got drunk and since this happened I'm not sure where to go from here.. Will my memory come back fully of what happened because I don't remember things. Also, what do I do about this guy? And what is someone's intake on all of this ?

The best thing to do, talk to him sober. See how you guys are feeling when you're not drunk and he's not high.

We all do things we probably regret or don't know what's going on when we're inebriated, so clear it up over clear minds.

Also, no, you wont get your memory back from that night. That's what blackout drunk is.

I'll be the first to admit, I am horrible talking to guys I'm interested. Its like I can't get out of my own head and over think every single interaction. It's terrible. But with this new guy I like, will call him *Eric,*I want to not think so much. He is in two of my classes, and I just recently started being interested because he did a presentation in my one of our class and I was oh wow your really cute. So here we are. We haven't spoken at all, he knows my name, because I had to do a presentation too. Um, but that's about it, we have no interaction at all. So, I really want to talk to him, but I don't even know what to say. Like I said, I over think everything, its huge fault of mine, I just really don't want to do that with Eric. Cause the more I over think, the more I scare myself which leads me to do absolutely nothing, which makes me mad at myself UGH! Cause, I'm this super open, talkative,optimistic person, around people who know me. And when I finally get outside of my head, I say the stupidest thing and can't carry a damn conversation. Its really frustrating! With Eric, I think we be good match, but I wont' know that if I don't talk him. So any tips would be awesome! Help me please!

Just start with hi. Ask him about what he likes. Find out what makes Eric tick. I know it can be hard. I probably missed out on plenty of girlfriends from being afraid, but you just gotta introduce yourself. Be brave. What's the worst that can happen? He isn't the only guy in the world, and it sounds like you're younger. If it doesn't work out, there will be another Eric who will.

24/f
I have come to realize that I more than likely have depression. There are days where I just feel like there's a dark cloud over me. I will sleep for 12 hours and still feel exhausted and just be super negative and sad. Sometimes I will cry for a long time before bed for no reason and feel really hopeless even if I've had a good day. There seems to be no way to tell when it's coming or how long it will last. It doesn't appear to be caused by anything in my life- I have an amazing boyfriend of two years and am going to school for something I love. I did have a bad childhood (abusive family) but don't feel that's relevant anymore.

My boyfriend and I live together, and my "episodes" are becoming increasingly hard for him to deal with. He is patient and kind, but gets upset because he blames himself when I'm not happy. Sometimes I feel I have no right to be in a relationship because I don't think I'll ever be able to have a normal life or kids or anything. Between his ADHD and my depression, I feel like we are unable to help each other and just keep upsetting each other. It makes me wonder if it would be better for him not to be with me, even though he's the guy I want to spend the rest of my life with.

I'm not interested in medication (had some pill abuse problems in the past) and haven't had luck with therapy. Is there another way that I can manage this and maybe even get better?

My brilliant answer is to talk to me. I go through a very similar thing. I could go on for pages about things that will help, but that's a lot of typing. If you're willing to chat with a stranger, I'm willing to give every bit of advice I can for you.

I am 22 years old.I met this guy who is my best friends good friend. We both chatted on the phone and fell for each other.the thing is he is in Europe for further studies and we are one month into a
Our long distance relationship. Things were going on pretty well..we were talking last night and hr said hes scared about us as the future is uncertain.I told him that I got into this relationship primarily because he was confident about us. But later he said he's over thinking things and wants me to be in His life and if we really want each other we would make it work.I dunno what I should assume from this behavior of his.he used to confident about this a week back.do everyone in LDRs go through this? Im super worried!!

I was in a long distance relationship. You just have to accept that you're not going to see each other, and your future is always going to be uncertain. You have to ask yourself, are you okay with not seeing him. Him not holding you in his arms? It's not easy. I was in one for over three years, and I saw her maybe four times. It's hard. One of the hardest things.

If you want to talk to someone whose been through what you're going through, I'm free to talk. My Skype is sillyrob7200 or message me through here.

i want to have sex or be raped but i am only 11 and a girl!!

First of all, you don't want to be raped. My girlfriend was raped. It's ruined her life. Second of all, you're too young for sex. You might think you are, but sex brings about emotions. It makes you attached. Normally I wouldn't recommend an 11 year old masturbate, but I think it would be good for you. You'll feel the pleasure you're looking for, and wont have the emotional hangups that an 11 cannot handle.

it's gotten so bad that they took it upon themselves to "cleans" my room taking anything they thought seemed demonic, like a spiral of glow n the dark stars on my wall because we live n a spiral galaxy which to them is apparently demonic, they took my posters down lost all of my medication and threw it out & that's not even the most annoying part. I had a headache and just wanted to be left alone and they came in my room & pinned me down trying to perform an exorcism on me! I had bruises all over they were forcing me down so hard &I was just like dude just leave me alone I have a headache and you guys are screaming and yelling and crap, they ripped off my that I've had since 2010 of my favorite rock band that my friend bought for me & on top of all that they refuse to replace my medication that THEY lost because I have a sprained sacroiliac and bad back spasms and arthritis and an ulcer and my dr. can't replace my medication (Percocet) until the 5th. At first my dr. wouldn't prescribe me anything stronger than tramadol but my pain got to the point where I couldn't even walk by myself &I had really low blood pressure & anemia plus c-dif, but I have nothing to take for it because they through it all out. I have to literally hide the things in my room they took my mardi gras masks that I got for donating food to the homeless shelter and threw them out. Am I wrong for being totally pissed off at them at this point for trying to force me to go back to Christianity? I'm not an atheist or an agnostic I'm a spiritualist and my beliefs are based in love, peace, and harmony, I'm a vegetarian, I believe in aliens and I believe in spirit guides and God but not a jealous, fearsome judgemental one trying to convince us that we're all sinners. Fear is the opposite of love so why would a source made of love demand to be feared. I've respected their beliefs and constantly have to ask them to do the same but this time they took it too damn far. I shouldn't have to hide things in my room when my family comes over because they'll take it out it's my room and I have the right to have whatever I want in it, They even ripped my blinds down (which are black because I get really bad migraines ever since I was a baby) and broke them off the wall TWICE and I had to use push pins to put them back up cause I'm really light sensitive. And now they're doing the same thing to my twin sisters stuff (who has the same beliefs as I do) and I'm just getting sick of it at this point. They even consider me being a vegetarian a sin but apparently it's okay to torture and kill animals for food. How fucked up is that. I'm 24 and female.

Holy shit, are you me? My parents tried to pull the Mormon crap on me tonight and I'm dealing with arthritis and unknown neurological problems.

I am atheist, but not the militant type. I believe in aliens, I'm not vegetarian, but I've attempted a vegan diet before because the food industry is fucked up. The God my parents believe in is a jealous and petty God, I don't want that in my life. I like living life knowing that at any moment, my view can be challenged and I can accept it.

If you need someone to talk to who shares a lot of your views, you can Skype me at sillyrob7200, or I'm willing to text if you wanna do a private message.

I understand you more than you think, and I think being a listening device can help you more than anything else in the world.

So during intercourse if a guy doesn't cum, you can't be pregnant right?

Incorrect. Pre-cum can contain sperm and get you pregnant. The best course is to use condoms or birth control.

Unless you ask the Catholics, they'd say avoid sex.


But don't do that, sex is awesome.

So I had been a Wiccan for months, and my dad had the bad idea of it. That every Wiccan was a witch. That witches are evil. That the Horned God is associated with Satan because he has horns/antlers. I have never felt comfortable in Christianity, but felt comfortable in Wicca, like I was 100% safe and nothing would ever hurt me. I'll be turning 18 in a few months. Should I just light candles in my room, try to tell the Horned God that I'm sorry and that I'll move in with my friend when I turn 18 and become a Wiccan again?

I mean your parents control you until you're 18, but once you're 18 you're free to do whatever you want. You can worship whoever or whatever you want. Don't let anyone tell you any differently.

First of all I'm a 16 year old girl. Ever since I was 10 I've always been the antisocial type who hides away in her room reading or watching tv or whatever. I've always liked celebrities and book characters, but that's only normal right? But recently I've actually been sexually attracted to them. This will sound strange but I masturbate to fanfictions and pictures of my favorite celebrities/characters (The Doctor from Doctor Who is an example of one). And I spend ALOT of time watching the shows that they're in or reading the books they're in. I've always been antisocial, but I've also always had a healthy relationship with my interests until now. This didn't start up until I moved away from all of my friends a few months and started to get lonely, maybe this has something to do with it? What's wrong with me?

If I tried saying that Dr. Gregory House hasn't popped into my head once or twice while masturbating, I'd be a god damned liar.

I feel weird calling my boyfriend baby or babe. It just doesn't flow right. I can call him baby/babe over text with no problem but in person or over the phone it makes me cringe. I know this is petty but with my other boyfriends it came so easy and I would even forget that they had real names cause I was just always calling them baby. Does this mean anything? Or am I just reading too much into it? I'm 24 btw and I've only been dating this guy for 6 months. I dated my last boyfriend for over 2 years before he ended it in April

My girlfriend calls me snuggledove. Just come up with funny pet names for each other.
