You see that man in that picture? That is me. I'm metal as all holy heck and I will give you answers so metal, you'll grow a beard. Even if you're a teenage girl.

So throw a question my way? "I like this guy and this guy, what do I do?" PICK THE ONE WHO LIKES METAL! "I've been feeling depressed lately, what should I do?" LISTEN TO SOME METAL! "I need help with my pre-calc homework." THE ANSWER IS METAL!

I can handle it all, I will not shy away from any question. May the metal be with you!

easy way of suicide

The easiest way to kill yourself is to live until you die of old age.

I'm seeking advice from somebody that knows a little more about emulators.
I've got a Macbook Pro running on Lion OS X. I've downloaded Mac Boy Advance as a Gameboy emulator so I could play Pokemon Gold. Apparently it is the best program to have for Lion, however, whenever I try to open a game the program quits unexpectedly.

Everywhere on the internet it appears to work perfectly, so what I am I doing wrong?

Any help would be immensely appreciated! :)

Hi I'm asking for advice on how to steal from Nintendo! Please help me break the law! Thanks!

Our world society gets more and more connected everyday, so someone in America could easily adopt certain aspects of Japanese culture, or any other culture. One could argue that it's stupid because Japanese people don't like foreigners, but there's bigotry in most, if not all, cultures. That doesn't mean you can't appreciate the good parts of them.

I love how I'm not just limited to my environment, and how I can make friends in different continents online. I'm a black girl in America, with parents from Africa, and I'm originally from England, so I've always been used to diversity. I've been to Japan once, too, and I loved it. It had always been my childhood dream to visit there, because I was into a lot of anime and manga when I was young. I love how a lot of things there seem so whimsical, despite Japanese people having to work really hard. It's also one of the most beautiful countries I've ever seen - from the urban areas to the rural areas. I wish I could walk around in my city. I learned that there was so much more to Japan than anime and manga, too, which, apart from a few fashion styles, companies, food, and basic history, was truthfully all I really knew about the country. Just thinking about this now makes me want to go back! It was one of those travel abroad things for students, so I got to see quite a lot of the mainland, and Miyajima (and island near Hiroshima) and experience cool things like a tea ceremony and climbing some of Mt. Fuji. And I just have to say that going to the Hiroshima Peace Memorial Museum was really an emotional experience, and helped me feel even more sympathy for the Japanese. To the point where I feel greatly offended if someone says it was right for the Japanese to get bombed (I don't think it's ever right for civilians to get bombed). It's different from just reading about the bombings from the book when you're actually there, when you actually see Japanese people, and you actually see some of the destruction. Through this, I think our would would become A LOT more tolerant if people traveled around and realized that we're really no different from one another. We have different looks, different cultures, but we're all the same at the core. You can't blame someone for what their ancestors did in the past, as long as they don't make the same mistakes. Talking to a kid in Japan (in english, haha) felt just like talking to a kid in Nigeria or talking to a kid in America. I think it's just something everyone should experience. No more of this us vs. them thing, we're all here in this 1 earth and we should be cooperating for the benefit of human kind. Just because someone doesn't live like you or look like you doesn't mean they're bad

Ah, I guess I'm rambling now (haha just a little.. I apologize), but I don't get why people make fun of others for appreciating aspects of Japanese culture. If someone tried appreciating my ancestral Cameroonian culture, even if they got things wrong, why would it be a bad thing? You don't have to only live life with your ancestral culture, or the culture of people around you. That would be boring. You don't even have to live like either culture at all. What's wrong with incorporating other things you like, that would better make you happy and let you contribute better to the world? I mean, many other countries are influenced by America, so why can't Americans be influenced by other countries? I think the world as a whole would benefit if people as whole incorporated good aspects of different cultures, and stopped following the negative aspects of their ancestral or modern ones. And now that I think about it, this sort of criticism happens with other countries, too. Like people criticizing men for dressing "European" and supposedly looking feminine, or African-Americans trying to connect to Africa through holidays like Kwanzaa and what not. But it just struck me today with Japan, because any non-Japanese person who's very interested in Japanese culture just gets laughed at. Regardless of whether it's just anime and manga, or whether it's a lot more than that, if it's what makes them happy and it doesn't hurt anyone, what is wrong with it? Especially if the person mocking them is Japanese.. why are you against someone liking your country's culture? Just because they weren't born into it doesn't mean they can't legitimately enjoy it, too, in this global society we live in today

Oh my goodness, where am I even going with this question, haha. I'm basically just wondering why people get criticized for being "different". I think that's what this all comes down to. And btw, I'm not super obsessed with Japan or anything.. I'm just a regular fan. I haven't even read manga or watched anime in a couple of years, though. I don't have as much free time as I did in middle and elementary school, haha. But I still have my mementos from Japan and get Japanese food whenever I have the opportunity. I'm not super obsessed with any country, actually, because there is no perfect country! But if someone IS obsessed with a country, well, just let them be, as long as they're not trying to hurt anyone in the process

Blah blah blah people thing I'm weird cause I'm different. Have you ever thought that people are annoyed cause you act like a weirdo, not cause you like Japanese culture? I mean, I know plenty of people who were into "Japanese culture" and they were just weird.

My boyfriend and I have decided that we would like to start going jogging together in the mornings. For the past year or so, neither of us have done any sort of significant physical exercise, maybe a bike ride once or twice a week.

Are there any experienced runners or joggers out there that could give us a few tips on how to get into running again. Naturally it is not as simple as just going out and running.

Considerig we're quite out of shape in terms of stamina and endurance, what would be the best way to start?

Any information would be much appreciated :)

To be honest, it's all about setting a routine. You gotta start small. If you go in all gung-ho about it, you'll wear yourself out and never do it. Build yourself up to a point where you can run forever.

I contracted an STI from a guy I met online, before engaging in sexual contact i asked him if he was clean, drug and disease free. he said yes. I also asked him if he has had sex with anyone that night already, he said no. After we had safe sex, he proceeds to tell me he engaged in sexual conduct with a man hours before meeting me that had HPV . He said he didnt think he had to warn me because I asked if he had sex with anyone, and not specify just oral. What can I do? He refused to tell me the truth about engaging in dangerous sexual activity prior to meeting me.

Well, the realest answer you can get is, "Don't engage in sex with people you don't really know." I mean, this might come as a surprise, but people online lie. They'll tell you what you wanna hear cause it's easy to. Mix that in with the fact it's a guy who wants in your pants, you're asking for a disaster. Right now, all you can do is hope that the HPV doesn't do horrible things to you.

I would see a doctor and everything. I wish the best for you. But honestly, from now on, you should think before you allow a penis inside you. Life is short, and why would you allow yourself to be harmed for a quick night of pleasure?

my room bores me to death and i need some thing new that goes along with my personallity
basically im an emo girl so i like only black n neon colors (always have always will) so are there any ideas to make my room match me better i already have nice bright pink walls but wat could i do 2 decorate it??????

Put up depressing shit from lame bands. Like dying flowers and crying girls or whatever kids like nowadays. Why can't you just find what YOU like and decorate your room how YOU want it?

Ask yourself, "What do like? Do I like this shitty band? Yes I do! I should put up their posters. Do I like this cliche cartoon? I do! I should put up shit from them! Do I like dark and depressing colors? I do but I also like pink, which I already have! Black it is!"

Jesus, just be yourself. Can anyone give better advice other than that?

It's been one month since we got married,
Me and my hubby use to have sex every night.

My hubby always put his cock inside me till morning(that means he never pull it outside my vagina till he wakes up in morning).

Is there going with my vagina.

This is a weird situation and I feel like I need an adult.

i am dating a guy but my ex wants me back and i love both but i don't want to hurt any feelings i don't know what to do!

You're in love with neither of them.

That's the truth.

You really like both of them, and obviously your ex is an ex for a reason.

My best advice? Make them both go through a bunch of tasks like on your favorite reality TV show. When one of them impresses you, give them a rose to know they won.

17/f
i was born with a penis and ive never had a bf cause i dont want to be embarassed.
pleeeeeeeease help, i want to be a regular girl!?!

any advse will be very helpful!

thanks in advance!!

Are you a female with a penis, a female living in a man's body, or an annoying troll?

My guess is the third.

I've been to 2 malls today and they had nothing but short & black dresses to go clubbing in. I can't get anything offline cause it'll be too late. I've been to macy's, dillards & every store looking for a black dress but nobody has one for a graduation. Do you know where I can get one that's not online but in a store?

You can get it like four weeks ago when you had time to shop you lazy bum.

17/female
I have absolutely no privacy. I don't have a bedroom. My parents are home most of the time. So I don't get much if any time to masturbate. I also don't have a bathtub, as that has been suggested before: just a stand up shower with a very small bathroom so that doesn't give me much of an option either. Idk what to do.

Have you thought of NOT masturbating? It's not like it's a God given right. If you can, GREAT! If not, oh well!

I'm June the girl that ask about the games.No.I don't play a game that's hot.If they have adds they should be ok right(that's what my sister said)?

And no if the game's hot I'm not playing it(I don't care if I love I'm not going to play it and that's the same for my sis)!

Not always the case. I mean, it could be, but generally no.

Hey duos someone know how to get games on your computer? I can't download them(thank to my Mom)I don't have money to keep buying all the games I want(and my sister too. She like a lot of games I like). I don't care if they have adds on them(nether duos my sister)as long as it's the full version.I'm talking games like diner dash Jojo's fashion show 1&2 Nanny mania(1&2)Wedding dash(1&2). Or if we have to do 1 or 2 and not both that all right to. But NO Downlands!

Thanks
P.S.
that's all right if you can only help me on one game.I do not have to have it all.

You can't. You have to buy them. You're not seriously asking people on a serious site how to play games illegally are you?

Hey there!

I got my braces removed and started wearing retainers 3 weeks ago. Hence, I had to deal with the lisp. The problem is, it's been 3 weeks and I still have the lisp! People say it'll go away after a while but it's still here. I even try reading aloud to make it go away. I feel discouraged to wear it because people keep making fun of me.

Is there anyway to get rid of this lisp quickly? Help please :( Thanks in advance!

Well, people may be making fun of your lisp now, but later in life when they have disgusting teeth, you can make fun of them with your perfectly straight teeth.

20/f Tony 18

Me and Tony recently started dating. We were "talking" for a long time before that though and I've known him for about 8 years. The thing is that Tony's a virgin and I'm not. I've only had sex with one guy. Tony said he just wants to wait until he finds the right girl, he's not waiting until marriage. I respect that and it's not like i'm going to dump him because of this.

The thing is, do I just wait for him to come to me when it comes to sex? I'm not going to pressure him into ANYTHING but i'm know he's going to be nervous when and if the time comes to talk about it or even just do it. I don't know how to act with this!

I think you kind of already answered it. Just let things run their course. If you're the right girl, then he'll ask you if he can stick it in you.

Hi I, am 32 years old and had Anal sex for the first time. I am very concerned about geting an STD. I have been with the same man for the past 7 years; what should I do?

If the man you've been with for seven years didn't give you an STD already in your vagina, I think your anus is safe.

If you have sex slot do you get tired of it?

I got bored with my sex slot a long time ago.

i want to move out with my boyfriend will i be able to and im 17?

Short answer, no, medium answer, not really, long answer, unless you want you and your boyfriend to end up in a lot of trouble, I would suggest not doing this. All it would take is one call from your parents and the legal problems would build up.

I got a speeding ticket the other day and I read somewhere that if the ticket is unsigned, it could be dismissed. However, on the speeding ticket I got, there wasn't even a place for the officer to sign it, there was just a place for the officers name which was typed in. Do officers not sign tickets in wisconsin?

I'd say just deal with it however they told you to deal with it. A speeding ticket is so low on the list of bad things you can do that it's not worth getting more fines and having your license suspended over. Just go to court, plead your case, and maybe if you're lucky the cop wont even show up, then it will be dismissed.

Hey guys i want to put some post its on my bathroom mirror with little inspirational sayings or something to do with positive thinking. Just little reminders.

Your help is greatly appreciated and i do rate :)
